"It seems that Ashen isn't completely indifferent to Ruoxi, and their marriage might be on the horizon."
It was from this day that the old man decided to have Lu Shen marry Jian Ruoxi.
After walking for a while, perhaps because Lu Shen was by her side, Jian Ruoxi's mood did improve.
"Alright, next time you feel unwell, just walk around more."
"If it doesn't work the first time, try again. You'll eventually be able to get rid of your troubles."
Jian Ruoxi has remembered those words to this day.
Hua Rui's home was not close, and she walked slowly, arriving home after dark.
Just as I was about to go upstairs, I suddenly caught a glimpse of a tall, slender figure under the streetlights on the opposite side of the alley. It looked very familiar.
Jian Ruoxi's heart raced. Could it be him?
Or is it just my own illusion?
She walked slowly toward the figure and stopped when she was about a meter away from it.
"I didn't expect to see you here." It was indeed Lu Shen.
Lu Shen came to see her this time. What happened that night had a big impact on her, and he was a little worried about her.
"Let me take a look."
Lu Shen had no idea how much of a ripple his words had stirred in Jian Ruoxi's heart.
"Thank you for that day."
If Lu Shen hadn't arrived in time to help her handle the aftermath, all sorts of speculations would have appeared online the next day, none of which would have been in her favor.
"I just happened to be passing by, it's not worth thanking you." He didn't want Jian Ruoxi to feel too much pressure.
How have you been lately?
When they met that day, the circumstances didn't allow them to chat casually, and they didn't have time to ask the questions they wanted to.
He knew perfectly well whether she was good or bad.
Every day, Ah Jie keeps a close eye on Ruoxi's activities, and he knows best how things are going for her.
The reason I asked this question was simply because I wanted to hear her say it in person.
"I'm fine now."
Lu Shen looked up at the sky, not wanting Jian Ruoxi to see his inner emotions through his eyes.
Tonight is indeed a perfect night for a reunion; apart from the full moon, there are no other stars in the sky.
"That's true, you'll naturally be fine without me."
Jian Ruoxi didn't know what to say next. Logically, she should have answered yes, to prove to Lu Shen that she could live a good life without him.
But she couldn't say it.
Lacking the courage to utter harsh words, she inwardly mocked her own cowardice.
"Jian Ruoxi, when will you be able to truly forget this person and treat him like a complete stranger?"
She herself hasn't found the answer yet; it might take a year, or even longer.
Lu Shen turned around and looked at her stomach. "It seems you're planning to have the baby."
Upon hearing Lu Shen mention the child, Jian Ruoxi instinctively covered her lower abdomen with her hands.
“The child is mine, of course I want to give birth to it.”
Lu Shen stepped forward. “But he also has the surname Lu. Taking him along will not do your career any good.”
Jian Ruoxi immediately stepped back to keep her distance from him.
"Young Master Lu, so your main purpose in coming here this time is to test me?"
"Will I choose between my children and my career?"
She suddenly realized how ridiculous she had been, naively believing that Lu Shen had just come to see her.
Surprisingly, they set their sights on her child.
"I didn't..."
Lu Shen wanted to step forward to explain, but Jian Ruoxi stopped him.
"Young Master Lu, you can just stand there and don't need to move. We're already divorced, so we have no relationship."
"Besides, you've only recently gotten engaged, and your fiancée is probably still waiting for you at home. You shouldn't stay at my door any longer."
Her intention to get rid of him was quite clear, and at this point she was unwilling to listen to any explanation from Lu Shen, so she turned around and wanted to leave.
Lu Shen certainly didn't want her to misunderstand him like this, so he quickly reached out and grabbed her.
"Young Master Lu, it was you who insisted on getting a divorce back then."
One sentence struck Lu Shen's heart, and his grip on Jian Ruoxi's hand gradually weakened.
"I can manage both my career and my children."
"Young Master Lu, I'm warning you, don't even think about messing with my child anymore. We're no longer part of the Lu family."
“He will only take my surname, Jian, not Lu.”
After saying that, Jian Ruoxi didn't even glance at the person behind her and went straight upstairs.
Only after confirming that the lights in Jian Ruoxi's room were on did Lu Shen turn his gaze away.
Recalling Jian Ruoxi's aggressive words just now, he couldn't help but lower his head and laugh out loud.
He remembered his doctor saying that after a woman becomes pregnant, her diet and personality will change compared to before.
But isn't this a bit too big?
"Her temper can flare up in an instant. She doesn't wait for people to finish speaking, nor does she listen to explanations. There's really no way to deal with her."
If anyone were here right now, they would definitely see that Lu Shen's smile was full of doting affection.
After Jian Ruoxi returned home, she grabbed a pillow from the sofa and threw it on the floor.
"I shouldn't have gone to talk to him and told him I wasn't good enough?"
"Then I'll show you just how far I can go with my child."
She made a phone call, which woke Ran Jie up from his deep sleep.
"My dear aunt, can't we wait until tomorrow to talk about this? Didn't I already tell you today that I'm giving you two days off to rest at home?"
He wanted to give himself two more days off.
"I've made up my mind, I'm going to participate in the Mercedes Life program!"
These words immediately woke Ran Jie from his sleep.
"Jian Ruoxi, are you drunk? You can't keep up with this Mercedes-Benz Life variety show without some stamina."
"I heard from Lu Jin that you are pregnant, this won't do."
In "Mercedes Life," guests play games outdoors, and then the videos are filmed and recorded.
But pushing and shoving are inevitable when playing games. What if something unexpected happens? How will he explain it?
Not only would that little girl Lu Jin skin him alive, but that devil Lu Shen would probably secretly execute him.
He still wants to continue being his top agent.
“The recording of Mercedes Life has a script. They will tell us in advance what games they will set up, so what are you afraid of when you are in charge?”
She wasn't afraid even though she was heavily pregnant, but Ran Jie was scared off.
"But it's still somewhat dangerous." Ran Jie takes into account the artist's physical condition before arranging a schedule for them.
Unlike some agents who relentlessly exploit their artists, constantly making them run around doing promotional appearances.
If Jian Ruoxi hadn't been pregnant, the Mercedes-Benz would indeed have been the best choice.
But now?
"Don't worry, I know my own body well and won't cause you any trouble." When she went for her prenatal checkup, the doctor also advised her to move around more, as this would help with a natural birth.
Because the doctor noticed that her child seemed to be larger than average.
