Upon hearing Lu Mingrui's words, Su Xiufen couldn't help but recall the grievances she had suffered over the years.

After Su Xiufen and Lu Mingrui got married, he was so busy that he couldn't even take a break.

The couple already spent little time together, and after Lu Yanxun came into their lives, they saw each other even less often.

Although her grandparents and in-laws helped her at that time, her husband often neglected her and their child because he was too busy with work.

Sometimes they even forgot that the mother and son existed.

It wasn't until the birth of their second daughter, Lu Yanwei, that Lu Mingrui began to step back from the front lines, and the couple gradually spent more time together.

Their relationship remained good afterward, and soon after, they had their younger daughter, Lu Yanting.

Although the grievances of the past have gradually faded with time, Su Xiufen still feels a tightness in her chest every time she thinks about them.

Seeing Lu Mingrui calmly looking at the blueprints, Su Xiufen glared at him in annoyance.

He spat and said, "You men are all the same!"

After saying that, he snatched the blueprints from him and threw them on the table.

Walked away angrily.

Lu Mingrui was completely bewildered.

What did he do to offend her?

Why did you suddenly get angry?

Su Xiufen slammed the study door shut.

Lu Mingrui felt the lingering anger in the air and thought for a long time but still couldn't figure out what he had done wrong.

"Are there no good men out there?"

Lu Mingrui picked up the blueprints and muttered those words to himself.

"You men? With whom? With Yan Xun?" Lu Mingrui asked, puzzled. "What's wrong with Yan Xun?"

Unfortunately, after reflecting for a long time, I still don't know what I should be reflecting on.

in the bathroom.

When Jiang Zao took the clothes from Lu Yanxun, she noticed that he was also holding other clothes.

Judging from the style and color, it seems to be his own.

Jiang Zao was stunned for a moment, and a question popped into her mind: Why did he bring clothes too?

Jiang Zao hugged her clothes and glanced at Lu Yanxun a few times without making a sound.

After several seconds, seeing that he still showed no sign of leaving, she finally lost her patience.

"The water's getting cold," Jiang Zao gently reminded him.

The water's getting cold; you should go now.

She thought Lu Yanxun would understand her reminder and leave immediately so she could take a shower.

To her utter surprise, the person said something that completely shocked her.

Lu Yanxun said, "Hmm, the water's getting cold, you can take a shower now."

Jiangzao: "..."

Jiangzao was speechless.

No, brother, how am I supposed to wash if you don't leave?

Jiang Zao thought for a moment, then asked directly, "The water's getting cold, why aren't you leaving? How am I supposed to wash if you don't leave?"

Lu Yanxun tossed his clothes into a clean basin and turned his back to Jiang Zao.

"I'm worried about you being alone. You go wash, I won't watch you."

Jiangzao: "..."

Understood.

So he didn't want to leave for a long time because he was worried about letting her take a bath alone.

So it turns out he wasn't ignoring her subtle hint, but deliberately stayed to bathe with her?

What was he going to do with his own clothes?

Could it be that he wants to be with her...?

Just as he thought of this, Lu Yanxun suddenly explained, "I asked Weiwei to find the clothes for you. She thought... so she also found my clothes. Don't misunderstand."

Oh, Jiangzao understands now.

It wasn't that he wanted to shower with her, but that his sister wanted them to shower together.

She said, "Lu Yanxun isn't that kind of person."

So, does that mean he stayed to bathe with her because his family asked or forced him to?

Once you think about it that way, it makes sense.

She said that Lu Yanxun was not that kind of person at all.

Jiang Zao thought that Lu Yanxun probably originally wanted his mother or two younger sisters to accompany her while she bathed, but his sharp-tongued younger sister would definitely disagree and insist that he accompany her by himself.

When Lu Yanxun disagreed, she brought up her great-grandmother to pressure him.

Under intense pressure, Lu Yanxun had no choice but to come and keep her company.

Thinking of Lu Yanxun's helplessness, Jiang Zao couldn't help but feel sorry for him again.

After sorting out all the causes and consequences, Jiang Zao couldn't bear to make things difficult for him, so she didn't forcefully kick him out.

Let him stay if he wants; he won't be spying on me anyway.

Jiang Zao absolutely believes this.

She guessed that even if Lu Yanxun had his back to her, he would close his eyes to prevent her from launching a sneak attack.

For example, strip naked and run in front of him to irritate his eyes.

But she wouldn't do that.

"It's okay, I understand. Please believe me, I won't do anything out of line to you. We're allies who made a pinky promise."

Jiang Zao also explained to Lu Yanxun.

“I’m washing now,” Jiang Zao said again.

After saying that, he splashed the hot water in the basin with his hand.

After Jiang Zao's belly grew bigger, it became inconvenient for her to take a bath, so Su Xiufen specially had a sturdy shelf made to hold the bathtub.

This way, Jiangzao can sit directly on the chair to shower every time she takes a bath.

It won't put pressure on your stomach, and you won't lose your footing and fall, making it especially convenient and safe.

She doesn't need anyone to accompany her at all.

Previously, Jiang Zao was always washed by herself, with Lu Yanwei or Lu Yanting keeping an eye on her to make sure she didn't slip when she went out.

They brought Lu Yanxun in this time not because they were worried about her safety, but probably because they wanted to help them strengthen their marital bond.

Jiang Zao sighed softly. She could understand the feelings of the Lu family, but unfortunately, it was impossible for her and Lu Yanxun to have any marital relationship.

If Lu Yanxun didn't have anyone in his heart, she would have just made do with him and gotten along with him.

After all, we already have children, and divorce wouldn't be good for them either.

The child is innocent.

Moreover, Lu Yanxun is handsome and comes from a good family. Marrying him would be a great leap forward, if not a complete transformation.

Given the Lu family's status, her marriage would elevate her to a higher social class.

Even after the divorce, it's impossible for her to find a husband with better conditions than Lu Yanxun.

It's a pity that Lu Yanxun was snatched from someone else.

Although it was the original owner's mistake to ruin other people's relationship, it still bothered Jiang Zao.

She really can't accept that she's the one who destroys other people's relationships.

Therefore, she had no choice but to divorce Lu Yanxun after giving birth.

Jiang Zao felt a heavy weight in her heart and sighed again.

Lu Yanxun heard her sigh from the sound of splashing water.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"nothing."

Jiang Zao was inexplicably in a bad mood, and her tone was also a bit harsh.

Jiang Zao's tone made Lu Yanxun slightly wary: "Is the water cold?"

"No." Jiang Zao glanced at his tall, straight back, and her mood worsened.

How come such a handsome man already has someone he likes?

She experienced an unbelievable time-travel experience, and even ended up as a mistress.

The mistress who is pregnant.

The tragic mistress.

That mistress deserves it.

Damn it, fate really is cruel.

Jiang Zao became increasingly angry and was in a terrible mood.

The action of wiping a towel with water unconsciously became larger.

Hearing the splashing water behind him grow louder, Lu Yanxun asked her again, "Is the water too hot?"

"No!" Jiang Zao replied irritably. "Can you please stop talking? I don't want to hear your voice!"

Lu Yanxun guessed that Jiang Zao was about to have another outburst, so he obediently shut up.

To ignore Lu Yanxun's presence, Jiang Zao lowered her eyelids, not even giving him a glance.

Focus on dealing with the hot water in the basin.

Lu Yanxun had prepared plenty of hot water, so Jiang Zao washed her hair as well.

Jiangzao has very good hair quality, reaching her waist in length, but because it's so smooth, it's not troublesome to wash.

She scooped some shampoo from the box, rubbed it into her hair, and the fragrance quickly wafted from the foam.

The scent of the shampoo finally cheered Jiang Zao up a bit.

After washing my hair, I carefully wrapped it in a dry towel and then took a good shower with the remaining water.

During the bath, Jiang Zao acted as if no one else was around, as if Lu Yanxun didn't exist.

Knowing he wouldn't peek, she felt no guilt whatsoever.

After taking a shower and drying herself off, Jiang Zao picked up clean clothes to put on.

But the baby in her belly suddenly kicked her playfully.

The kick was a bit too hard, and Jiang Zao felt a dull pain in her stomach.

"Well……"

The pain came suddenly, and Jiang Zao couldn't help but let out a groan.

Lu Yanxun stood less than two meters away from Jiangzao, judging from the sound whether Jiangzao had been washed.

I knew she was ready to get dressed as soon as I heard the sound of fabric rubbing together.

Just as I was about to relax, I suddenly heard Jiang Zao's voice.

Lu Yanxun immediately asked, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Zao noticed that Lu Yanxun had turned his face slightly to the back when he spoke.

It looks like it might turn back at any moment.

She quickly bit her lip and endured the pain as she put her clothes on.

She couldn't let Lu Yanxun see her without clothes on.

Otherwise, people might think she deliberately broke the contract and was trying to seduce him again.

The original owner was wrong, and she cannot follow suit.

She, Jiang Zao, also has dignity.

As Jiang Zao struggled to put on her clothes, her stomach started to hurt more and more.

The baby seemed to be rolling around in her belly, and it was doing it on purpose.

These two naughty kids should be fed formula from birth!

Fortunately, the clothes Lu Yanwei found for her were a loose-fitting nightgown. With her efforts to hold her breath and endure the pain, she finally managed to put it on and cover her vital parts.

At this point, Jiangzao could no longer bear the pain.

"pain……"

She finally cried out in pain.

The sound of pain sent chills down Lu Yanxun's spine.

He didn't doubt the authenticity of Jiang Zao's cries of pain, but the next second after hearing her cry out, he thought of the fact that she had just finished taking a shower.

They might not even be wearing clothes.

What should he do?

Should I turn around and hug her?

But if she wasn't wearing clothes...

Although the two had already gone very far, it only happened that one time.

He really didn't know how to face her... without any clothes on.

Lu Yanxun clenched his fists slightly at his sides as he struggled with his inner thoughts.

“It really hurts…”

Seeing that Lu Yanxun was completely ignoring her, Jiang Zao felt a chill in her heart.

Didn't I just ask her what was wrong?

She cried out in pain, so why is he ignoring her?

Was his question, "What happened?", just a perfunctory act within the agreed-upon scope?

It turns out he wasn't actually going to turn back all the time; he was just acting.

He's quite the actor; even though it's just the two of them, he still has to put on an act.

And the acting was so convincing.

Or perhaps he thought he was acting too, so he deliberately played along with her?

In any case, Jiangzao felt a little colder in his heart.

For some reason, she felt a little sad.

Jiang Zao gritted her teeth and endured the pain, trying to steady her erratic breathing, and calmly said, "I'm already dressed, carry me back to my room."

Lu Yanxun turned around almost at the same time she finished speaking.

The two looked at each other.

Lu Yanxun saw that Jiang Zao's face had turned pale with pain.

Jiang Zao also saw Lu Yanxun's cold expression.

She didn't know what his expression was trying to convey, but she could roughly guess that Lu Yanxun was in a bad mood.

And the reason for the bad thing must be because of her.

Her stomach ached, her heart sank, and Jiangzao felt like crying again.

Good heavens, why is she so unlucky!

She's going home tomorrow!

She wants to go home to find her parents!

Who doesn't have a home?!

Who wants to stay here and have someone else's baby? Who wants to put up with other people's cold treatment?

The child is hers; she'll take the child away tomorrow!

She won't have any more children with Lu Yanxun; she won't leave him any!

Jiang Zao was emotionally distraught and lost in thought.

I don't know if it was from anger or pain, but my eyes were red.

Her eyes were still glistening with tears, as if she was about to cry at any moment.

Lu Yanxun glanced at Jiang Zao once and then looked away slightly, but quickly helped her up and even straightened her skirt.

Then he picked the person up and hurriedly left the bathroom.

Lu Yanxun's gaze did not linger on Jiang Zao the entire time. Only after he put her on the bed and pulled the blanket over her did he lower his eyes to look at her.

"Your stomach hurts again?"

"Ah."

Jiang Zao curled up in pain, a tear rolling down her cheek.

No wonder she wasn't in pain this afternoon; it turns out she was waiting for this.

Those two little rascals are quite cunning.

No wonder it was the baby that the original owner, Jiang Zao, carried for seven and a half months.

Lu Yanxun sat on the edge of the bed, reached his hand under the covers, touched Jiang Zao's belly, and gently rubbed it.

He was already very familiar with this process, and his movements were without any hesitation, and his technique was even more skillful.

"What do you think they... are trying to do?"

Jiangzao was in so much pain that she felt weak and listless.

But she couldn't help complaining, "I've already eaten properly, why are they still torturing me... Waaaaah~"

"what!"

The child kicked again, and Jiang Zao cried out in surprise, unable to even cry anymore.

Those two naughty kids!

She doesn't want them anymore!

Let's just leave them all to Lu Yanxun!

Even if she takes the child back to her parents' home tomorrow and gives birth there, she should still send the child back to him!

From now on, let them torment whoever they want, as long as they don't torment her!

Woo woo woo.

Two little rascals, and Lu Yanxun, the big bad guy.

Let the father and his three sons torture each other!

woohoo~

Jiang Zao buried her face in the pillow in pain.

Lu Yanxun remained silent; he didn't know how to respond.

The child's kick was indeed heavy; Lu Yanxun's palm went numb even through his stomach and a layer of fabric.

Seeing Jiang Zao trembling with pain, Lu Yanxun frowned deeply.

With a helpless sigh, Lu Yanxun used his other hand to turn off the light.

The entire room was plunged into darkness.

The pain seemed amplified in the darkness, and Jiang Zao whimpered again.

“Ouch…it hurts…”

The only sounds Jiangzao made were cries of pain; she didn't ask for help.

Perhaps it was her stubbornness that prevented her from asking Lu Yanxun for help, unlike the previous times.

Even in such pain, she could never forget Lu Yanxun's indifference towards her in the bathroom.

That's right, it's indifference.

When she cried out in pain, Lu Yanxun ignored her.

She holds a grudge.
