"Oh? This is interesting. Wait for my news."
The bald man on the other end of the phone already had Jian Ruoxi's medical records from that day.
Looking at the words "5 weeks pregnant" on the report, the bald man seemed to be deep in thought.
Tell Li Anran that she went to the hospital with her friend.
The bald man tore the report in his hand to shreds and looked at his subordinates.
Li Anran breathed a sigh of relief upon receiving the call and didn't think much of it.
"This Li Anran is not very useful."
The bald man muttered to himself, stroking a cat in his hand.
Suddenly, the cat let out a pitiful cry and cowered to the side, watching the bald man.
The bald man licked the blood off the razor blade in his hand.
"Stew this cat up, it's useless."
Upon hearing this, the subordinate picked up the cat and went downstairs. A scream was heard, and the dead silence returned to the night.
"Boss, do you want some?"
The subordinate understood what his boss meant and glanced over tentatively.
"Grandma Lu still likes her quite a bit. Tell her that I don't have much time left for her."
The bald man lay on a woman's lap, letting her gently massage him.
Seeing this, the subordinate closed the door and retreated.
Meanwhile, Lu Shen was at home protesting and going on a hunger strike.
Since visiting his grandmother in the hospital, he has been practically under house arrest at the Lu family home.
"I heard you're on a hunger strike? What, you think you can turn the world upside down?"
Grandma Lu, still worried, came over.
After being locked up for seven days, Lu Shen finally saw his grandmother.
"Let me out; you're restricting my personal freedom."
Lu Shen pounded on the door, like a trapped beast, letting out low growls.
"Then call the police and have this old woman arrested."
Grandma Lu looked at Lu Shen with a righteous indignation, refusing to yield an inch.
"Tell me, what's wrong with An Ran? You were the one who made her come back from abroad. And you were the one who insisted on divorcing Jian Ruoxi. Now that you've taken advantage of her, and Li An Ran is pregnant with your child, you're suddenly thinking about how good that actress was?"
Grandma Lu was furious at his lack of ambition, and Lu Shen fell silent upon hearing this.
"Grandma, I'm sorry."
Grandma Lu thought he had come to his senses and was about to bring something to feed her grandson.
"I cannot marry Li Anran."
A voice of refusal came from behind, and Grandma Lu stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
"You won't marry Li Anran? She's carrying your child. You, you!"
As the old lady calmed herself down, she looked at Lu Shen with disappointment.
"Ah Shen, don't you want to marry me?"
Li Anran stood in the corridor with a wounded expression, tears streaming down her face.
Lu Shen hadn't expected that Li Anran had overheard everything.
He decided to lay his cards on the table.
"I will definitely take responsibility for the child, but I can't get engaged to you right now. I'm sorry."
He looked at her apologetically, unsure how to comfort her.
"This is outrageous! Outrageous! What do you want to do? Send her abroad again? Make her wait for you for years?"
Old Mrs. Lu's words pierced Lu Shen's heart.
Li Anran waited for him for three years…
The girl is at her most beautiful; she is waiting for him.
However, at this moment, his mind was filled with the image of Jian Ruoxi.
She was timid and shy, like a little white rabbit.
She radiates confidence and shines brightly.
She was prickly, angry, and arrogant.
He remained silent, but he also told Li Anran about his choice.
"And what about me? What am I?"
Li Anran rushed forward and grabbed Lu Shen's sleeve.
Lu Shen looked at Li Anran, who was pleading humbly, and quickly helped her up.
Grandma Lu closed her eyes:
"What a tragedy..."
Grandma Lu opened the door and went out, leaving the two of them behind.
"Did I do something wrong to annoy you?"
With tears streaming down her face, Li Anran looked at Lu Shen with a wronged expression.
"Give me some time, okay?"
Lu Shen wiped away her tears and comforted her gently.
Li Anran looked at the gentle Lu Shen and hugged him tightly, kissing him passionately.
Lu Shen pushed her away.
"Anran, don't do this."
Li Anran sat on the ground sadly, head down and silent.
Lu Shen lifted her onto the chair and looked at her helplessly.
"I ran into Jian Ruoxi during my prenatal checkup today."
The two remained silent for a long time before Li Anran broke the silence with her words.
Lu Shen suddenly looked up.
"You met? What happened to her?"
Seeing that Lu Shen showed no intention of inquiring about the prenatal checkup, Li Anran smiled wryly.
"Are you only concerned about Jian Ruoxi? She went to accompany her friend for a checkup, why are you so nervous?"
Lu Shen breathed a sigh of relief.
“I told her I was pregnant with your child. She truly blessed us.”
Lu Shen's expression changed upon hearing Li Anran's words.
"She knows you're pregnant?"
"Yes, she was very happy too."
Lu Shen was so hungry he was dizzy, and with a touch of excitement, his vision went black and he fainted.
When Lu Shen opened his eyes, he saw Li Anran standing by his bedside, holding his hand.
He slightly withdrew, and Li Anran woke up with a start.
Seeing her insecure expression, Lu Shen felt increasingly that he had overreacted today.
He can find a time to talk about it slowly.
"Ah Shen, you're awake. You shouldn't eat greasy food right now, so I had the kitchen make some porridge, and I'll feed you."
Li Anran helped Lu Shen up and helped him find a comfortable spot to lean against the hospital bed.
Looking at the porridge in front of him, he suddenly missed Jian Ruoxi's cooking, that sweet, soft, and melt-in-your-mouth flavor.
She's always very skilled at cooking, and she makes herself different dishes every day.
