Chapter 281 The Ambiguous Relationship Between Parents

I thought the old man wouldn't speak, but he was surprised to hear him speak after a moment of silence.

"Well, back then, my son had a girl he liked, and I broke them up. Later, I found out that the girl left while pregnant. My son never spoke to me again after that, and our relationship became very strained. At first, he would come back to see me every year, but later, we would argue every time we met, and he hasn't come back for many years."

He spoke in a flat tone, as if he were talking about something unrelated to himself.

However, Lu Wanxing still noticed the sadness in his tone.

"Speaking of which, if this child grows up, he'll probably be about your age. If the child comes back, I'll introduce him to you!"

"Sure, someone who can be your grandson must be an outstanding person."

This remark successfully amused the old man.

“You’ve really hit the nail on the head. My son is also my fault. All these years, he’s grown into an old man and is still all alone.”

The old man's face was full of self-reproach when he said this.

There's nothing I can do; I realized some things too late. If it weren't for my own actions, I might already be surrounded by children and grandchildren.

But now I'm all alone.

"But my parents are the same way. You have to believe that this couple will eventually be together again, it's just a matter of time. So relax, maybe they will really bring their child to see you then."

"Haha, you little rascal, you always know how to say these things to make this old man happy."

Lu Wanxing's words eased the worry on his face, and he seemed more energetic.

However, Lu Wanxing only chatted for a while before the medication started to take effect, and she became drowsy.

After watching him fall asleep, Lu Wanxing got up and left.

He told the housekeeper he would come back later before leaving.

The housekeeper watched her leave, feeling a little worried; she was heavily pregnant and still running around.

Han Ximan and Lu Chengbo didn't have time to pay attention to Lu Wanxing, and the two of them started their love-hate relationship again.

In the evening, the family ate dinner at home. After dinner, Lu Wanxing looked at the two awkward people.

He simply made up an excuse to go upstairs, creating space for the awkward couple to be alone.

"Look, our Xingxing is the most sensible one."

Every time Lu Chengbo sees this, he can't help but sigh.

In the end, they'll all get an eye roll in return.

"You've got to be kidding me, this is my daughter."

"That's mine too."

"You provided the seed."

"Then I also deserve credit."

Lu Wanxing stood on the steps on the second floor, watching the two bicker like elementary school students with a rather speechless expression.

These two are almost a hundred years old combined, why are they still so childish?

"Mom, just tell them clearly what's bothering you. You're already so old, what's there to be so awkward about?"

Both of them looked somewhat embarrassed, but when they looked up again, Lu Wanxing had already disappeared.

Han Ximan muttered that her little darling was leaking air.

Then someone grabbed her hand and forced her to sit down next to Lu Chengbo.

Then I heard his deep, helpless voice.

“I know what bothers you, and I’ve explained it to you clearly. You didn’t give me a chance to explain back then, and now that I’ve explained, are you going to push me away again?”

"Aren't you afraid your family will object now?"

Han Ximan raised an eyebrow and looked at him.

Lu Chengbo's expression instantly turned pitiful.

“My wife and kids are going to belong to someone else’s family soon, so what am I afraid of? At worst, I’ll have a fight with the old man, and I’ll give up the company. It just means I might need you to support me from now on.”

Han Ximan: ......

This man's skin is getting thicker and thicker.

"Is your old flame looking for you?"

"No, after what happened back then, I married her off to a controlling man who has always loved her. I believe she will have a good life."

Lu Chengbo chuckled.

It's good enough that he didn't go looking for someone to settle scores with; as for finding a partner, she's incredibly controlling, bordering on pathological.

Living with someone like that, wouldn't life be quite enjoyable?

Han Ximan finally understood, and couldn't help but twitch her lips, feeling slightly relieved.

There was no one in the living room at the moment. When Lu Chengbo saw her smile, he couldn't help but go up and kiss her a few times.

However, I underestimated my self-control; I simply couldn't control myself in front of the person I liked.

Since there was no one else in the living room, he simply pulled her into his arms and kissed her.

Lu Wanxing was afraid of stumbling upon some secret if she went out, so she never dared to go out.

Instead, he hid inside the room.

The two people downstairs rolled around together, and Lu Wanxing didn't even know it.

Often, the relationship problems between husband and wife can only be solved by the two of them; outsiders can't really help.

Moreover, both of them are now at an age where they are. In fact, Lu Wanxing could see that her mother's attitude had been softening, but she just needed a way to back down.

After that, wouldn't it be natural for the two of them to get together?

It must be said that Lu Wanxing is rational and clear-headed when dealing with other people's affairs.

When it comes to his own affairs, he becomes a complete idiot.

Even the most clear-headed and rational person can't handle their own emotions well.

When I saw the message from Bo Sinian, asking if the baby had been fussy today, I immediately clicked on the voice message.

I don't know why, but as soon as I hear his voice, the baby in my belly starts to move.

I wonder what kind of unspoken understanding this father and daughter have.

She immediately filmed a video of the baby moving.

"It moved."

After saying that, he didn't reply to Bo Sinian, and the person on the other end fell silent.

Bo Sinian had been staring at the video, and when he saw what appeared to be a tiny foot on the belly, he chuckled softly.

It seems this child is just like her mother, lively and active.

He replied to Lu Wanxing's message telling her to take care of herself, but there was no response after that.

Lu Wanxing had already gone to sleep.

It's harder to sleep in late pregnancy, so after the baby moved around a bit, I went to sleep right away.

She has basically figured out the pattern: as long as she goes to bed early, she won't be easily woken up when her child kicks her.

In addition, if she were awake, she would have to get up to go to the bathroom frequently, and Lu Wanxing didn't want to go back and forth like that, so she thought she might as well go to bed early.

I've been busy with pharmaceutical manufacturing lately, and I'm quite tired.

The next day, breakfast was delivered as usual, but Lu Wanxing was the only one in the restaurant.

Looking at Lu Chengbo's room, Lu Wanxing seemed to know something, and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

So what is there that can't be solved with a good night's sleep?

If so, then take another nap.
