Jiangzao's sleeping posture was awkward; at least it didn't look comfortable at all.

Lu Yanxun stood quietly by the bed for a while.

He lifted the blanket, supporting Jiang Zao's shoulder with one hand and her knees with the other.

I adjusted her sleeping position.

His movements were somewhat stiff, as if he had made a certain decision to do so.

Lu Yanxun had just laid Jiang Zao flat on the bed when she woke up.

I was woken up by being pressed down.

Jiang Zao was forced to wake up because her stomach was pressing on her chest, causing her to feel tightness in her chest, shortness of breath, and difficulty breathing.

When Jiang Zao woke up, Lu Yanxun's hands were still there.

She looked at the man who was very close to her, her blank expression mixed with surprise as she came to her senses.

"What are you doing?" Jiang Zao asked Lu Yanxun.

The handsome face so close to her made her momentarily dazed.

Surprised, Jiang Zao took a half-second to admire the man's face in front of her.

Tsk tsk.

It looks even better up close.

Very nice.

"You fell asleep leaning against the headboard," Lu Yanxun explained coldly.

When she pulled her hand back, she pulled the blanket up and covered Jiang Zao with it.

Having done all that, Lu Yanxun returned to the stool and sat down.

Jiang Zao looked down at herself; lying flat, her stomach felt incredibly heavy, no wonder she felt so bloated.

I wanted to change to a side-lying position to relieve the tightness in my chest, but my lower back felt so heavy that I couldn't move.

Jiang Zao dared not exert any force, for fear that she would twist her waist if she did.

She glanced at Lu Yanxun.

Without hesitation, he asked for help: "Help me change positions."

Lu Yanxun asked, puzzled, "Won't this work?"

Jiang Zao took a breath and said, "My stomach is too heavy, I can't breathe properly, I probably can't make it."

Although she had no experience, her body's reaction told her that this really wouldn't work.

Lu Yanxun got up and walked over: "How would you like to change it?"

Jiang Zao didn't mince words: "I want to lie on my side, but I don't have the strength in my back. I'm afraid I'll strain my back if I exert too much force."

Even though Jiang Zao had already explained why she needed Lu Yanxun's help, his expression still turned cold and gloomy.

Jiang Zao couldn't help but feel a little angry when she saw the man's changed expression.

I just asked him for a small favor, why is this man acting so disgusted?

Jiang Zao was very clear about her situation from a young age. She was an orphan, with no one to rely on but herself.

So whenever something happens, she will never bother others if she can handle it herself.

Even after transmigrating to this place, her attitude towards everything remained unchanged.

But getting pregnant more than seven months right off the bat was far beyond her capabilities.

Jiang Zao was afraid that something unexpected might happen, so seeking help was a last resort.

Besides, she wasn't asking Lu Yanxun for help just for herself.

It's mainly for the children.

That said, whose child is this?

It's because he's surnamed Lu!

Jiang Zao said sullenly, "You don't need to give me that look. If I wasn't worried about hurting my back, I wouldn't want your help."

Lu Yanxun silently helped Jiang Zao turn over.

He kept his eyes straight ahead, his expression unchanged, and he didn't say a word from beginning to end.

It was as if he hadn't heard Jiang Zao speak.

After seeing that Jiang Zao had turned to lie on her side and was no longer moving, he turned around and sat down in the chair again.

After changing positions, the pressure on Jiang Zao's chest disappeared, and her breathing became much smoother.

The baby in my belly is probably asleep, behaving itself perfectly, not moving at all.

After doing this, Jiangzao's drowsiness completely disappeared.

After making quite a fuss during the day, Jiang Zao has now calmed down and has no more energy to spare.

Regardless of the reasons or her mindset, Jiang Zao is currently in a relatively calm mood.

Even though he was annoyed by Lu Yanxun's disdainful expression just now, he didn't continue to lash out.

She lay in bed unable to sleep and was very bored.

She originally didn't want to pay attention to Lu Yanxun and wanted to ignore him as if he were air.

But after darting around, her eyes finally landed on Lu Yanxun.

At this moment, Lu Yanxun was looking at the shadows of the trees outside the window, which were being blown by the wind.

I don't know if he was spacing out or lost in thought.

Jiang Zao stared at him for a while, then suddenly said, "Lu Yanxun, I think we need to talk."

Hearing Jiang Zao speak, Lu Yanxun turned to look at her.

But he didn't think the other person really wanted to talk to him about anything serious.

Most likely, they're just trying to find another way to cause trouble.

Lu Yanxun looked at Jiang Zao with a hint of wariness in his eyes.

Jiang Zao didn't miss the look in his eyes, and curled her lip in disdain.

"You don't need to act like I'm some kind of monster. I just want to ask if you've considered divorce."

Ginger and jujubes got straight to the point.

She spoke casually, but Lu Yanxun frowned after a moment of silence.

"What are you planning to do now?"

Lu Yanxun stared intently at Jiang Zao.

The wariness in his eyes, like a fog, did not dissipate but instead grew thicker.

Perhaps considering Jiang Zao's current situation, Lu Yanxun's tone was not bad.

But it's not exactly good either.

Calm, but indifferent.

Jiang Zao's expression also turned serious; she didn't mince words with Lu Yanxun.

"I don't want to do anything, I just want a divorce."

Lu Yanxun pursed his lips, his ink-black eyes fixed on Jiang Zao's face.

I wonder if they're observing what kind of trouble she's planning to cause this time.

Jiang Zao wasn't afraid of him.

There was no intention to cause any trouble.

She met Lu Yanxun's gaze and said again in a firm tone, "I want a divorce."

As soon as she finished speaking, her stomach suddenly moved.

Jiang Zao was startled and quickly touched her stomach.

In my mind, I quickly said something to comfort the children: "Babies, be good, babies, don't cry. I just want a divorce, not that I don't want you. Your father and I are strangers. We don't know each other, we have no feelings for each other, and he especially hates me. Feelings can't be forced. Babies, you have to understand me. I can't let myself ruin my whole life's happiness on a man who hates me, right? Babies, you're good babies, you have to be reasonable."

I wonder if the baby in my belly understood the soothing words from the ginger and jujubes, because it calmed down and stopped moving.

Jiang Zao silently breathed a sigh of relief.

In her heart, she praised the children: "My babies are so good. I will definitely eat well and take good care of you."

Jiang Zao paused for a moment and carefully felt the movements inside her stomach.

Only when you feel that the child is really behaving will you continue talking.

But this time she spoke much more cautiously than before.

“I don’t plan to divorce you now. I’ll wait until the child is born.”

Jiang Zao specifically emphasized the words "the child was born".

I hope the two little ones in my belly can hear me.

Considering your sincere intention to bring them into this world, please behave yourself and make her late pregnancy (the last two or three months) a little easier.

Lu Yanxun frowned, his face darkening as he pressed his tightly pursed lips together.

He seemed to want to say something, yet also seemed not to want to say anything.

Jiang Zao noticed a fleeting hint of fierceness in his eyes.

She swallowed subconsciously.

She wondered, "Is this man going to yell at me?"

He accused her of deceiving him and then trying to trick him into taking the child away.

No, no, no, she can admit to being tricked into falling for his trick, but to say that she wanted to take the child away is a huge misunderstanding.

Because Jiang Zao never intended to divorce while taking the child with her.

For Jiang Zao, although she was pregnant, she did not consider the child to be her own.

At most, he'll be born using her womb.
