Chapter 142: Occupy the Magpie's Nest

I asked him, "If I don't agree, what will you do? Divorce me and give her and the child a legitimate status, or give birth to the child secretly and raise it outside? Or, use my parents to threaten me to accept it?"

My question stumped Shen Yixiao. The light in his eyes disappeared as he pondered my question.

I waited quietly for his answer.

After a while, he finally spoke, "Wife, I don't want to lie to you. If you don't want to see Lu Xiaoyun and the child, I can let them live outside, and you can turn a blind eye to it."

This answer made me burst out laughing.

So his primary purpose in bringing the person back today was to settle him down at home.

Not only do I have to accept an illegitimate child, I also have to accept a mistress living under the same roof with me.

Could it be that Shen Yixiao has no money to buy Lu Xiaoyun a house? No, he just hoped that I could accept the existence of that mother and son from the bottom of my heart, and that living together could help me become “desensitized”.

Shen Yixiao has made up his mind, and my reaction doesn’t matter, he just wants to give me an explanation.

“I only have one request.” I didn’t embarrass Shen Yixiao anymore, but put forward a condition, “After Lu Xiaoyun gives birth to the child, let her leave immediately and disappear from my sight forever.”

In fact, I can't wait until that time. If Xu Zhengnan is helpful, my parents will move out soon, and then I can tear Shen Yixiao and Lu Xiaoyun's faces apart without any scruples.

But we still have to do some surface work.

Shen Yixiao was ecstatic, and he replied excitedly, "Okay, wife, she is just a tool for me to have a child, I don't care. After I have a child, I definitely can't keep her to affect the lives of our family of three, don't worry!"

"When she gives birth, I will announce that we have adopted a child."

He has already planned out all the steps to take next.

Seeing how excited he was, I couldn't muster any reaction.

——

The next day, Shen Yixiao took Lu Xiaoyun back home and arranged a guest bedroom for her, which was the farthest away from our bedroom, because Shen Yixiao was worried that I would feel uncomfortable.

The servants dared not make a sound as they were busy and careful in arranging the items in Lu Xiaoyun's room.

Just when everything was done, Lu Xiaoyun sat on the bed and started crying.

When Shen Yixiao heard the crying, he went over to check, and I stood at the door listening.

"Why are you crying?" Shen Yixiao asked.

"I don't know. I heard that after a woman becomes pregnant, hormone problems can cause her mood swings and inexplicable sadness. Maybe that's the case with me. I have stomachaches from time to time at night now and then. I'm very scared when no one is around. I'm afraid I can't keep the baby..." Lu Xiaoyun replied, wiping away tears.

She didn't want to live in this room, she wanted to live in the one next to the master bedroom, so that if anything happened she could find Shen Yixiao the first time.

She had used this excuse in her previous life, saying that she was pregnant, and if something happened at night, she couldn't walk or pick up her phone, so she could only shout, but no one could hear her from the distance.

She knew how important the baby in her belly was to Shen Yixiao.

Shen Yixiao hesitated for a moment, and without asking me, he asked the servant to move the things to the bedroom next to ours.

Lu Xiaoyun's face flashed with joy and pride. When she passed by me, she said aggrievedly, "Madam, don't be angry. Not long after my last miscarriage, I got pregnant again. The doctor said I should pay more attention to my health..."

"Hmm." I glanced at her belly.

I took care of this child for a few years in my previous life. I did my best and only hoped that my love would transcend blood ties. But the first time he reached out for a hug, it was to Lu Xiaoyun.

The first time I called mom, it was Lu Xiaoyun.

The first time I shared food was with Lu Xiaoyun.

It turns out that as long as my biological mother is around, no matter how well I do, it can't compare to the attraction of blood ties.

Lu Xiaoyun successfully moved into the room she wanted. As soon as she settled everything, she told the servant, "Is there anything to eat? I'm so hungry. I can eat anything. Give me some noodles or steamed buns."

Her words made Shen Yixiao feel distressed. This was the woman who was carrying his precious child. How could she just eat steamed buns to cope with it?

"Go make a table of dishes. Whatever is nutritious should be prepared for every meal. Oh, don't we have cordyceps? Stew some cordyceps soup." Shen Yixiao ordered.

Those Cordyceps were all top quality. I specially asked someone to buy them from the Tibetan area. They cost about RMB 150,000 per pound. This was because I was depressed because of my pregnancy and I was taking medicine frequently. My physical condition was not very good and I needed to replenish my body.

Now it has become a food ingredient for Lu Xiaoyun to supplement his nutrition.

Shen Yixiao is now preoccupied with Lu Xiaoyun's physical condition and is very worried about the child, so he doesn't care about my feelings at all.

Before moving in, he had to ask me. After moving in, it meant that I had agreed, so it was normal for him to care about Lu Xiaoyun, and I shouldn't be angry.

The servant glanced at me, as if asking for my opinion.

"Go ahead." I nodded.

Shen Yixiao then remembered me, and he said to Lu Xiaoyun, "My wife is the boss at home. She bought the Cordyceps for herself, so you can try some."

Lu Xiaoyun looked at me tenderly with eyes that looked very much like mine, and acted submissive. "Well, thank you, ma'am."

I ignored her.

In the afternoon, Shen Yixiao had to go to the company, and only Lu Xiaoyun and I were left at home. With her around, I felt like I had an extra monitor.

If I want to talk to my mother on the phone, I have to be in my bedroom, otherwise I might run into her at any time.

When I was about to take a nap, Xu Zhengnan sent me a message: Are you busy? I have something to ask you.

Me: I’m not busy, you go ahead.

Xu Zhengnan: What do you think of this girl named Li Letong?

Are you here to ask Li Letong? A sense of loss inexplicably flashed through my heart. I didn't have this feeling when my mother and Aunt Yang mentioned Li Letong, but when Xu Zhengnan came to ask me in person, I couldn't help but think of some things in the past.

I told myself that people should have dignity and trees should have bark, and I should not have such shameless feelings.

Me: Pretty good, I think her personality is very suitable for you.

Xu Zhengnan: What kind of girl’s personality is suitable for me? What's her personality like?

I didn't type, I just sent a voice message, "She is graceful and elegant, like a lady from a noble family, and she can make delicious cakes. Aunt Yang said you like desserts now, so she is a good match for you, and I feel like she has a good impression of you. I hope you can give it a try and grasp your own happiness."

A few minutes later, Xu Zhengnan sent a voice message back, "Really? Then teach me how to pursue a man if she likes you?"

Do you want me to teach you this time? It was obvious that others were interested in him, so shouldn't he just let things take their own course?

I responded, “I don’t know.”

Xu Zhengnan, “Just tell me how Shen Yixiao chased you, I’ll learn from it.”

I don't really want to think about that time, but it was hard for Xu Zhengnan to meet a girl he was interested in, and it wasn't easy for him to learn from me, so it was my duty to help him.

After pondering for a moment, I sent a text message: Be shameless and persistent, treat her to dinner and a movie, and then send her flowers and gifts. If you like someone, you can't hide it from yourself, otherwise it will be easy for someone to snatch it away.

Xu Zhengnan: Yeah, I understand.

I didn't reply to him. He is such a smart person, he just needs to understand it himself. Besides, my method varies from person to person. Shen Yixiao is a shameless person. He cares a lot about his words and actions. It is impossible for him to pester a woman like a sticky candy.

Maybe one day, I will receive news that he and Li Letong are together.

"Knock, knock, knock." Suddenly, someone knocked on the bedroom door, and Lu Xiaoyun's voice rang out, "Madam, are you in there? I feel a little uncomfortable."

I opened the door impatiently. Lu Xiaoyun covered her stomach with her hands, looking uncomfortable. "I feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach. It may be because the bed in my bedroom is not very good. I heard that your bed is custom-made and has human memory function. How about I rest here for a while? Maybe it will be a little more comfortable lying here."

Before I could answer, Lu Xiaoyun walked over to my bed and lay down naturally where I usually slept.
