Jian Ruoxi laughed as she watched Ruan Fei being dragged away.

"Is Young Master Lu really planning to kick you to the curb after using you? After all, they saved your child."

Lu Shen stared at her blankly for a long time before finally uttering a single sentence.

"That's your child too."

Although legally they are no longer husband and wife.

But they have an unborn child who will call him Dad and Ruoxi Mom.

Whether Ruoxi admits it or not, they are family.

"I'll let bygones be bygones for what he said afterward, since you were laughing."

"You'll still be provided with accommodation."

If it could cheer Ruoxi up, he might consider giving Ruan Fei a place to stay.

After he finished speaking, his gaze drifted to the bedside.

A bouquet of flowers was already placed on top.

"Has Xiao Jin already come today?"

If we're talking about who's more enthusiastic about visiting Ruoxi than him, it has to be Xiao Jin.

I wish I could run ahead of him, even with my heels on the ground.

Thankfully, Xiao Jin is a girl from the Lu family, not a boy.

Otherwise, he would worry that Xiao Jin would try to take Ruoxi away from him.

"Yes, she came with Stone."

Xiao Jin has been spending a lot of time with Shi Tou lately, and she's gotten used to it.

Strange, Lu Shen wasn't surprised at all.

Out of sheer curiosity, she couldn't help but ask.

"It seems you knew about Xiao Jin and Shi Tou all along."

Lu Shen had no intention of hiding it.

"Yes, I knew it a long time ago."

"Do you want to know the details? I can tell you."

So generous?

During his recent hospitalization, Lu Shen seemed unusually lenient with himself.

No matter what I say, he will do it, even if he is a little cautious.

"You're willing?"

She knew Lu Shen very well; if he didn't want to talk about something, no one could pry it out of him.

"Of course I'd like to, but it's a family secret. If you want to know..."

What he didn't say next was self-evident.

Jian Ruoxi naturally understood as well.

Only the Lu family knows.

She immediately stopped herself, saying, "Then I'd better not ask."

Upon hearing this, Lu Shen's eyes revealed a hint of disappointment.

He had been hoping Ruoxi would continue asking questions.

In that case, he might just casually mention making Ruoxi a member of the Lu family again.

"Are you really not going to ask anymore? Or do you want to think about it again?"

He was still somewhat unwilling to give up.

Jian Ruoxi shook her head. "It's okay. Xiao Jin will tell me when the time comes."

Lu Shen gritted his teeth.

Can he temporarily disown Xiao Jin as his sister?

"Eat something first, or it'll get cold."

He handed over lunch and thoughtfully wiped the chopsticks before handing them to Jian Ruoxi.

"Ruoxi, there's something I'd like to discuss with you."

discuss?

Lu Shen would use this word? That's really strange.

"Go on," she said, munching leisurely while straining her ears to listen to him.

"I want you to stay at the Lu family's house after you are discharged from the hospital."

"Cough cough cough!"

She never expected that Lu Shen was going to talk about this.

Although the kidnapping incident brought them much closer than before.

But moving into the Lu family home so openly is a bit too much, isn't it?

Jian Ruoxi almost choked on her food before she could react.

Lu Shen quickly handed her the prepared warm water.

"Knowing you're going back to the Lu family, there's no need to be so excited," he said, smiling at Ruoxi.

"No, I want to go back to the Lu family with you?"

"This isn't appropriate."

If she were to appear at the Lu family's residence, the entire family would likely be thrown into chaos.

It's not enough for Li Anran to cause trouble alone; there's also an old lady in the family.

"yes."

"I asked you to go back to the Lu family just so I could ask you to do me a favor."

help?

Jian Ruoxi looked at him with a hesitant expression.

What can't Lu Shen do if he wants to? Why would he need her help?

Could there be some kind of trap waiting for her here?

He noticed Jian Ruoxi's worry and a playful smile appeared on his lips.

Ruoxi was quite alert; luckily, he had prepared his explanation in advance.

"As you said, I've already put pressure on Li Anran, but the pressure isn't quite enough."

"So I need your help."

"I think that as long as you show up at the Lu family, she will become even more restless."

Jian Ruoxi instantly understood what Lu Shen meant.

Is he trying to use himself as a tool to make Li Anran jealous and anxious?

"this?"

Lu Shen noticed her caution and continued to persuade her.

"Li Anran kidnapped and attempted assassination this time, almost killing you and your child."

"You can tolerate this?"

If it were the old Ruoxi, he would have been genuinely worried that she would keep quiet about it when he tried to persuade her.

But she is completely different now.

"Lu Shen, you're trying to provoke me."

Don't think she can't see through his tricks.

Lu Shen leaned in and slowly approached.

"Why don't you consider that I genuinely want you to return to the Lu family?"

After this incident, he could clearly sense that Ruoxi still had feelings for him.

But Ruoxi still hesitated to take that step.

Ruoxi ignored all his hints.

Jian Ruoxi was speechless.

Compared to this reason, she was more inclined to believe that Lu Shen was simply using her as a tool to pressure Li Anran.

That way, she won't feel so burdened.
