Because of one sentence, "She's back," Jian Ruo Xi's three-year marriage came to an end.
Fortunately, with the help of her sister-in-law, she quickly made a comeback and becam...
He found the thought of that scene terrifying.
So he kept dreaming of getting this place back, and this was the only way he could think of.
Jian Ruoxi was amused by Yu Hongxin's childish tone.
"Okay, I'll definitely invite you on the day I give birth."
Lu Shen, who had been hiding in the back, heard Jian Ruoxi's cheerful laughter and finally felt relieved.
"I didn't expect Yu Hongxin to be somewhat useful, actually making Ruoxi laugh heartily."
For this reason alone, he decided not to take action against the kid for now.
Compared to Su Ziyu, he found Yu Hongxin slightly more agreeable; at least the boy's gaze towards Ruoxi was pure, filled only with admiration for his sister.
Speaking of laughter, how long had it been since he had heard Ruoxi laugh so happily?
It seems like it was three years ago, not long after Ruoxi entered the Lu family.
The old man has just recovered from his illness, but he can't seem to cheer up. The doctor said this is affecting his subsequent treatment.
He tried many methods, but none of them worked.
In the end, Jian Ruoxi borrowed a shadow puppet show from an acquaintance and played with the old man.
The two were reenacting Sun Wukong's havoc at the Peach Banquet in the back garden.
"My family and I have been passing through the gates for three generations, and today is the day your Southern Heavenly Gate is breached!"
"You monkey, how dare you be so rude!"
He had just returned and, surprisingly, did not go up to disturb them. He simply stood a short distance away and watched the old man and the child having a great time.
When servants went up to offer tea and snacks, he stopped them.
"Tell the others that no one should disturb the old man unless he calls for them."
In the end, he clearly realized that Ruoxi had deliberately lost to the old man.
"Grandpa Lu, I can't take it anymore. I'm probably the worst Sun Wukong ever. I've embarrassed the monkeys. I didn't even get to eat the peach, and I was chased and beaten by the Jade Emperor."
She even sat on the ground and placed the shadow puppet of Sun Wukong on the ground.
This made the old man laugh non-stop. Later, Jian Ruoxi also realized that she was being childish and couldn't help but laugh along with the old man.
He stood behind her then, just as he does now, and a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.
Seeing that there were no problems on her end, and that Yu Hongxin was indeed reassuring, Lu Shen turned and left with peace of mind.
As if sensing something, Jian Ruoxi suddenly looked behind her.
"Sister Ruoxi, what are you looking at?" Yu Hongxin was startled by her sudden action.
Jian Ruoxi could only see darkness behind her; there was nothing else.
Am I mistaken?
For a moment just now, it felt as if he were there.
"No, it's nothing. I was probably just too tired today, and I misheard."
Yu Hongxin didn't think much of it. "The crew and artists weren't familiar with each other in the first episode, so the filming was a bit slow. It will get much better later on."
"Sister Ruoxi, let me take you home. My assistant has already gone to get the car."
Jian Ruoxi nodded. At this hour, it was indeed a bit difficult to hail a taxi in the surrounding area.
"good."
She had just gotten into Yu Hongxin's car when Su Ziyu caught up, only to be a step too late again.
Yu Hongxin looked back through the rearview mirror while inside the car, having already made up his mind.
If you want to pursue Sister Ruoxi, you should at least let him see if you pass the test first.
After all, Sister Ruoxi isn't alone anymore.
When Jian Ruoxi got home, she turned on the living room light and saw Lu Jin slumped over the dining table with the computer screen still lit.
The dialog box for the stone is displayed above.
Are you asleep?
Jian Ruoxi first covered Lu Jin with a thick blanket, worried that the stone opposite was still waiting for her, so she replied on Lu Jin's behalf.
"I'm sorry, Xiaojin is asleep. I'll get back to you when she wakes up tomorrow."
"Excuse me, who are you?" Stone didn't know that Lu Jin was living with someone else.
"I am Xiaojin's friend, Jian Ruoxi."
The stone opposite paused for a moment before finally replying, "Then I'll trouble you to take care of Xiaojin. She trained me for a long time today, and it was quite tiring."
After closing his laptop, the man named Shi Tou murmured Jian Ruoxi's name.
"She must be Xiao Jin's sister-in-law from before. It seems that even if the Lu family accepts her for a while, they will eventually kick her out."
Jian Ruoxi couldn't wake Lu Jin, so she covered her with a blanket and checked on her every now and then each night.
The next day, Lu Jin felt a headache and stretched, causing the blankets on his back to fall to the ground.
"You're awake? Hurry up and pick up the blanket. Do you know how many times I got up last night?" Jian Ruoxi looked at her helplessly.
No wonder Lu Shen's eyes were full of worry when he talked about his younger sister before.
If we really leave her alone out there, it will indeed be difficult for her to take care of herself.
Lu Jin quickly picked up the blanket that had fallen to the ground and put it away. He then came to Jian Ruoxi's side with a smile and rubbed against her like a kitten.
"I knew Ruoxi was the best to me, even better than my family."
Jian Ruoxi quickly moved to the side, away from Lu Jin.
"Go away, stop showering me with sweet talk every day."
Lu Jin really didn't expect that she would fall asleep while chatting with Shi Tou yesterday, and that the pregnant Ruo Xi would have to take care of her.
If her older brother found out, he would definitely talk about her.
She looked at Ruoxi with a flattering expression, "Okay, I'll take care of my health next time, and I definitely won't stay up late."
"At worst, after your child is born, if he can't sleep at night, I can take care of him."
Lu Jin patted his chest and assured Jian Ruoxi.
"You said it yourself, so don't go back on your word later."
With that, Jian Ruoxi put on her coat and walked out the door.
"Where have you been so early in the morning? Didn't you already finish filming the first episode yesterday?"
Logically speaking, Ruoxi shouldn't have any other work to do today.
"I have to go and apologize to Ran Jie."
She had inadvertently revealed her pregnancy, and felt it was necessary to let Ran Jie know.
I also reminded him to prepare for future exposures as soon as possible.
"I'm leaving." Jian Ruoxi didn't say anything more, closed the door and left.
Lu Jin, who had just woken up, fell into thought. Her mind was still not fully clear.
I had a feeling that something was off when I was talking to Ruoxi earlier.
"Ruoxi deliberately led me to say that last sentence, so she could find a nanny to watch the children at night."
Lu Jin slapped his head in frustration, never expecting that he would be tricked by Jian Ruoxi one day.
Is this still the same Jian Ruoxi who used to look like a resentful woman?
In just a few short months, he has completely changed.
"But this is good too, this is how Jian Ruoxi should be."
Those three years really suppressed her for far too long.
