In the blink of an eye, Lu Shen swiftly grabbed Jian Ruoxi's waist and gently pulled her into his arms.
"They're either peeking through the window or listening to gossip."
"Are you really that interested in other people's business? I've never seen you treat me like this."
If Ruoxi could put half the same amount of effort into him as she does into gossip, the grudge between them would probably have been resolved long ago.
At this moment, Jian Ruoxi felt her face burning red. Realizing that he wanted to look down, she immediately lowered her head even further.
She spoke somewhat haltingly.
"What do you know?"
"Being sensitive to gossip is a basic quality of people in the entertainment industry, right?"
I absolutely cannot let Lu Shen see me like this.
Otherwise, he would probably be even more smug.
"Really? Xiao Jin is a director, so she's practically part of the entertainment industry."
"I've never seen you act like this before?"
"Instead of resting properly this morning, you're leaning against the window. Do you know how dangerous that is?"
He had just peeked inside from the doorway and saw her in this position.
My heart was in my throat.
You'd think Jian Ruoxi was having some kind of mental breakdown.
He remembered that he had looked up information online before, and it was said that women tend to overthink when they are pregnant, and quite a few of them suffer from depression.
He was afraid that Jian Ruoxi would follow in the footsteps of those people.
"Lu Shen, can you let me go now?" Jian Ruoxi said pitifully.
She was almost out of breath in his arms.
"I almost forgot." Lu Shen gently released her, his eyes intentionally glancing at the windowsill that Jian Ruoxi had just been peeking at.
Seeing that Lu Shen was staring intently, Jian Ruoxi reached out and waved her hand in front of his eyes.
"Hey, Li Anran has already left, what are you still thinking about?"
Is this all there is to Li Anran's situation?
What are we still doing here?
Why not just chase after them?
She was completely unaware that there was a strong hint of jealousy in her tone just now.
"When did I say I was watching Li Anran?"
"Jian Ruoxi, are you jealous because of this?"
Lu Shen looked in her direction with great interest.
The moment she met his gaze, Jian Ruoxi immediately turned her head away, not daring to meet his eyes at all.
"What do you mean by jealousy?"
"Don't take this too seriously."
"I just said it casually. You can look at whatever you want. What does it have to do with me?"
It seems he guessed correctly.
Ruoxi was clearly flustered.
“I wasn’t looking at Li Anran, I was looking at where you were just now,” Lu Shen stepped forward and explained gently.
He pointed towards the windowsill and said to Jian Ruoxi, "I just feel that this windowsill seems a bit unsafe."
Because the Lu family's villa has a top-level security system, there is no need to worry about thieves coming here to steal things.
Therefore, the windows were designed to retain their original appearance when the villa was built.
But what Ruoxi did just now was extremely dangerous.
In just a few minutes, he even pictured their future child clinging to the windowsill and nearly falling off.
No, that situation absolutely cannot happen.
"Unsafe? Where is it unsafe?"
Jian Ruoxi turned around, wanting to take a closer look at the situation, but her wrist was grabbed and pulled back by Lu Shen beside her.
"Anyway, you're not allowed to go near there anymore."
"I will have security doors installed on all the windows in my house."
Security door?
Has Lu Shen gone mad?
Who would install something like this on their villa windows?
"Lu Shen, imagine it for yourself."
"Isn't it a bit beneath the class to install something like this at the Lu family's old residence?"
"And will the old lady agree?"
The old lady was such a proud person, how could she allow such a low-class thing to be installed in the house?
This is seriously undermining the prestige of the Lu family villa.
"I have my own way of persuading Grandma."
"But you, so concerned about the layout of the Lu family's old mansion, have you already made this place your own home?"
Jian Ruoxi rolled her eyes at her.
There's definitely a trap here.
She's not stupid; she can totally tell.
“We agreed that I was only staying here temporarily.”
"I will go back after Li Anran gets what he deserves."
Lu Shen nodded casually, as if he didn't take her words seriously.
"Of course."
That's what he said, but that's not what he really thought at all.
Just like when he brought Ruoxi to his private villa.
We need to take it one step at a time.
First, bring her to the Lu family.
We'll figure out a way to gradually keep her here later.
Anyway, the person is right in front of me right now, and can't run away.
"What do you plan to do next?" Jian Ruoxi gestured with her eyes in the direction Li Anran had just left.
She had a feeling that their conversation was going nowhere.
Otherwise, you'll be the one who suffers in the end.
Lu Shen crossed his arms and leaned lazily against the wall.
"A cornered dog will always jump over the wall; just be patient."
He refused to believe that Li Anran could still hold back at this point.
After all, even her grandmother had begun to doubt her this time.
In the evening, in Madam Lu's bedroom, she was listening to the servant's report.
"Madam, Miss Li is perfectly fine today."
"Should we continue to send people to follow her?" the maid asked tentatively.
They had been following Li Anran around for a whole day, except when she went to the toilet.
They even stared at her while she slept without blinking.
I really didn't notice anything unusual about Li Anran.
"Does she have any complaints?" the old lady asked calmly.
Actually, when she asked that question, she already had a pretty good answer in her heart.
The maid was still unsure of the old lady's attitude towards Li Anran, so she carefully considered her words before speaking slowly.
"Ms. Li was just a little unaccustomed to it at first."
She skillfully evaded the old lady's question.
If they directly answered what Li Anran had said, the old lady would inevitably feel that they were doing this with prejudice.
They might even delegate the task of tracking Li Anran to others, which would prevent them from keeping track of Li Anran's movements in a timely manner.
"And then?" the old lady continued to ask.
She was also very curious.
How will An Ran react when she finds out that she was the mastermind behind this?
"After that, Miss Li didn't say anything more."
The old lady lowered her head and remained silent for a long time before finally speaking.
"Continue to follow An Ran tomorrow, and remember to report to me immediately if anything happens."
Even with only one day, she couldn't conclude that An Ran was truly alright.
For the Lu family, for Ah Shen.
As the grandmother, she could only be more cautious.
I can only apologize to Anran for now.
