She felt a sense of weightlessness and fell down, landing in someone's arms.
The familiar scent reassured her, instantly calming her earlier panic.
He was wearing a black shirt with his sleeves rolled up, and he was holding Jian Ruoxi tightly.
His heart was pounding, and his cold gaze pierced Li Anran, radiating an icy aura.
Are you hurt? Where did you fall? Does it hurt?
He didn't even glance at Li Anran and Old Madam Lu before picking up Jian Ruoxi and leaving.
"Lu Shen, you stop right there!"
Lu Shen ignored Old Madam Lu's reprimand and walked straight past her.
Grandma Lu grabbed something and was about to throw it.
Lu Shen stopped in his tracks:
"Grandma, don't force me to leave the Lu family. You know I can make a comeback very quickly if I leave the Lu family. Don't force me to become an enemy of the Lu family."
The threatening words prevented Old Mrs. Lu from throwing her raised hands.
"They've rebelled! They've all rebelled!"
Grandma Lu glared at Li Anran, complaining that her shoving had driven Lu Shen away.
Watching the two leave intimately, Li Anran stared at the door in despair, hoping Lu Shen would turn back.
Ignoring Jian Ruoxi's objections, Lu Shen drove her to the hospital.
"Is your injury alright? I didn't call anyone..."
Jian Ruoxi wanted to explain, but Lu Shen interrupted her.
"I know."
He drove carefully and gently covered her with a blanket.
He lifted her out of the car and carefully accompanied her during the examination.
"From now on, ignore them. Don't open the door for them. Just call me and I'll take care of it."
He held her hand, his heart aching with guilt and remorse, and held her tightly for a long time without letting go.
"Mr. Lu, please rest assured, your wife and child are both healthy."
Lu Shen looked at Jian Ruoxi, his eyes filled with heartache.
"Ruoxi, I'm going to be a dad. You're going to be a mom."
He excitedly pressed his head against her belly and closed his eyes in bliss.
Looking at his haggard face, she touched his face with heartache.
"Are you still in pain? I went to the hospital to see you, but you're still unconscious."
Lu Shen looked up in shock.
"You visited me in the hospital?"
She nodded.
“I went to see you that night, but you were still asleep. I wiped you down and left. I’m sorry, I didn’t expect you to be beaten after you went out.”
Lu Shen was indeed shocked.
My intuition was correct; it was Jian Ruoxi who stayed by my bedside that night.
Li Anran lied.
"Jian Ruoxi, I have something to ask you."
Lu Shen's expression suddenly became somewhat serious.
"One day I was drugged with an aphrodisiac and went back to the old house to find you. Were you home that night?"
Jian Ruoxi also looked up in surprise.
"Were you drugged with an aphrodisiac that night? Did Li Anran drug you?"
Lu Shenru was struck by lightning. If it was Jian Ruoxi that night, and his intuition was right, then whose child was Li Anran's?
“If it was you that night, I didn’t return to the Lu family until dawn. I didn’t touch Li Anran at all. She might be faking her pregnancy.”
Lu Shen expressed his guess with some disbelief.
Jian Ruoxi was also shocked. She had always thought they lived together, but it turned out they were still sleeping in separate beds.
Why did Li Anran pretend that she was the one who accompanied Lu Shen that night?
“She’s not faking a pregnancy; she really is pregnant. I’ve seen her pregnancy test results.”
Jian Ruoxi felt that things were getting serious and she was getting restless.
"Do you believe me? I really didn't touch her."
Jian Ruoxi nodded, her brows furrowing even deeper.
If that's the case, whose child is Li Anran's?
Lu Shen recalled that Li Anran had returned home covered in injuries. Had she been attacked by some villain?
If that's the case, then I've only hurt her.
He wouldn't think too badly of the girl who had accompanied him through his youth.
Jian Ruoxi felt so tired that she quietly leaned on Lu Shen's shoulder and fell into a deep sleep.
Perhaps because she felt especially safe by his side, she slept soundly until dawn.
She opened her eyes and saw his gentle gaze.
She slept in his arms all night.
Her face was a little hot, and she stood up with a slight blush.
"Breakfast has been prepared by them, come and have some with us."
Lu Shen waved for her to sit down.
Looking at the familiar dining table, she was overwhelmed with emotions.
For the past three years, she has sat there countless times waiting for Lu Shen to come home.
Most of the time, Lu Shen would come home even after the food was reheated repeatedly, leaving her disappointed as she ate alone at the dining table.
"What are you thinking about? Aren't you coming to eat?"
Seeing that she was in a daze, Lu Shen walked over and flicked her forehead.
“I was thinking, I often wait for you to come home for dinner. Today, you actually arranged breakfast and called me to eat.”
Jian Ruoxi's words made Lu Shen feel heartbroken.
"I'll accompany you for all three meals from now on."
He took her hand and sat her down at the dining table.
"I want to eat toast."
Lu Shen pointed at the toast and opened his mouth.
She picked up the bread and fed it to him.
He opened his mouth and gently bit her fingers together, then stuck out his tongue and gently licked her slender fingers.
She blushed and withdrew her hand.
After quickly finishing his meal, Lu Shen looked at her.
"Jian Ruoxi, I'm hungry."
Her face turned even redder.
"I'll go cook you some more porridge."
He picked her up, his deep eyes looking at her with an aggressive gaze, as if he had already stripped her naked.
She avoided his gaze, smiling as she hooked her arm around his collar.
"Young Master Lu, I'm not available today. You should go to work early."
Lu Shen watched Jian Ruoxi's little tricks, then hugged her with satisfaction and sighed.
"Okay, whatever you say. It's good that you're by my side."
For the first time, he lay quietly beside her, and they chatted about their recent lives.
"Ruoxi, I'm sorry, I've let you down too much over the years."
Lu Shen sincerely apologized.
She lay contentedly in his arms.
"Is it because of the child that you want to try to accept me?"
She was somewhat skeptical of happiness that seemed so easily attainable.
He held her tightly, letting her feel his pounding chest.
“My grandfather has always loved me the most since I was a child, so when he asked me to marry you, I did. Actually, my grandfather has always known what I wanted. I just never wanted to admit it.”
He recalled Old Master Lu, his eyes filled with longing.
Do you know why your grandma is so against me becoming an actor?
Jian Ruoxi recalled the bald man's words and suddenly asked about Lu Shen.
"I'm not really sure. I've heard them gossip before, saying that Grandpa might have had a past relationship with an actress, but after Grandma found out, they broke off contact. I don't know the specifics of why. But Grandma has always forbidden us from getting involved in the entertainment industry, and even family members are prohibited from being near people in the entertainment industry."
Lu Shen thought for a moment and then answered.
Seeing that Lu Shen seemed unaware of the situation, Jian Ruoxi didn't know where to begin.
Even if I speak up, he might not believe me.
After all, this matter concerns the reputation of the Lu family.
