What would happen if Su Ziyu found out?
Wouldn't we just rush straight to the Lu family?
This person is a promising talent that I've put a lot of effort into cultivating, and I can't let him be ruined by Lu Shen because of matters of the heart.
All he can do now is coax and deceive.
"tomorrow?"
Su Ziyu took his phone down and glanced at it.
It's not even 10 o'clock yet, and Ruoxi usually doesn't go to bed this early.
Ran Jie stopped him from calling Ruoxi. Could it be that something happened to Ruoxi?
Thinking of this, his breathing became rapid, and his tone of voice revealed obvious tension.
"Ran Jie, tell me the truth, has something happened to Ruoxi?"
Ran Jie paused for a moment, then immediately realized what was happening.
"Ruoxi is doing well. While you were away, she even went to record the latest episode of Mercedes Life."
"By the way, you can go over when the next episode starts filming."
Fortunately, he and Su Ziyu were talking online, not face-to-face.
Otherwise, his expression alone would have been enough to betray everything.
"It's good that Ruoxi is alright."
"If there's no other work to assign, I'll head home now."
Hearing this, Ran Jie breathed a sigh of relief.
They managed to calm the person down temporarily.
But how long can Ruoxi's living in the Lu family's house be kept secret?
In the small room in the attic, Jian Ruoxi had just returned to rest when a questioning voice suddenly came from behind her.
Why didn't you tell Grandma the truth while we were eating?
When did he catch up? I didn't even notice.
Jian Ruoxi clutched her chest, looking terrified.
"Young Master, it's so late."
"It's scary when you suddenly show up without saying a word."
Also, what did he mean by that?
What truth? I didn't understand any of it.
Lu Shen shifted his gaze to her lower abdomen.
“You can just tell Grandma that you can’t eat hawthorn because you’re pregnant.”
"Wouldn't that save us a lot of trouble?"
Jian Ruoxi shook her head almost subconsciously, placed one hand on her lower abdomen, and took a slight step back.
He adopted a defensive stance, maintaining a certain distance from Lu Shen opposite him.
"Ruoxi, we've been through what happened last time together, do you still consider me an outsider?" He looked at Jian Ruoxi with a hurt expression, his eyes filled with indescribable affection.
She sighed deeply, "Lu Shen, I never thought that way."
She had survived both life and death, and now she finally understood her feelings for Lu Shen.
How could we treat him like an outsider?
The only person she didn't trust was the old lady.
"Since you already knew, why did you still help me cover it up?"
The old lady must have said more than once how much she longed for a great-grandson.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been in such a hurry to urge Lu Shen and Li Anran to get engaged first.
Letting the old lady know will at least make her happy for a moment.
Lu Shen looked up and gazed tenderly into her eyes.
"Although I don't know why, I still want to respect your decision."
Did Lu Shen say these words himself?
She felt like she was dreaming.
The Lu Shen I knew before always put his own feelings first and rarely considered others.
Then Lu Shen continued.
“I don’t know what other concerns you have that prevent you from talking about the child.”
"Ruoxi, what I want to tell you is..."
"Don't worry about anything, I will protect you and your child."
She had to admit that she was moved the moment she heard those words.
If she could, she really didn't want to think about anything anymore and just threw herself into his arms.
Leave everything to him to handle.
But she couldn't do that.
So, how is she any different from the zombie-like version of herself she was three years ago?
All she has left are her children and her career; she has nothing left to lose.
Jian Ruoxi steadied herself and solemnly said "Thank you" to Lu Shen.
Is that all you wanted to say?
He still had so many questions to ask.
There are so many things I want to hear Ruoxi say in person.
But before he could ask, Jian Ruoxi's phone rang, interrupting their conversation.
Lu Shen glanced at the phone screen out of the corner of his eye and saw that the name displayed was "Su Ziyu".
His eyes narrowed slightly.
Has Su Ziyu just returned from abroad?
Why didn't those people keep him a little longer?
While he was thinking, Jian Ruoxi had already pressed the answer button.
"Ziyu? The charity event is over?"
Before the party was held, Su Ziyu had already gone abroad for a charity event.
It seemed to be a fairly important event, but she was busy helping Xiao Jin prepare for the party at the time, so she didn't ask any further questions.
"Yes, this time the departure will be a bit long."
"Now that I'm back, I finally have time to call you."
If he had known that this trip would last so long, he would never have agreed.
"It's okay, work is important."
"Now that you're back, get some rest."
Come to think of it, she hasn't participated in any overseas events yet.
She should talk to Ran Jie more often in the future, so that she can't just think about Ziyu alone when there's such a good thing.
We are all artists under his management, so there can be no favoritism.
"Ruoxi, I heard you've moved to the Lu family's place now?"
