The smile on Lu Jiangyu's face faded, and he raised his head to look in the direction where Xu Piao left upstairs.

Thinking of how she was dealing with Xie Jianing's little temper and little thoughts, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise again.

"You're not drunk, are you? Send her back. I have something to take care of here."

"I...I was drunk too and couldn't drive." Xu Taiyang explained.

"You can call a taxi for her. If that doesn't work, you can notify her family." Lu Jiangyu answered indifferently.

"But..." Xu Taiyang didn't expect that he would refuse so straightforwardly this time.

"I have something to do here, so I'll hang up first." Lu Jiangyu hung up the phone without saying anything more.

Inside the bar, Xu Taiyang stared blankly at his phone.

He remembered that whenever Xie Jianing had any problems in the past, Lu Jiangyu would always come in time.

What happened today?

Such a straightforward refusal?

He looked at Xie Jianing, who was lying on the sofa with his eyes closed.

He took out his cell phone and started calling other people, asking them to send her back.

Xie Jianing closed her eyes. Just like last time, she was neither asleep nor drunk.

Xu Taiyang heard the general content of the conversation between Lu Jiangyu very clearly and clenched his fists tightly.

After learning that Xu Piao was pregnant, she felt extremely unbalanced.

It is bound to destroy the relationship between them.

She had already made up her mind that as soon as Lu Jiangyu arrived, she would take pictures.

When the time comes, pass it to Xu Piao, so that Xu Piao can see clearly how important he is in Lu Jiangyu's mind.

What was unexpected was that Lu Jiangyu was unwilling to come, which directly ruined her plan.

There was a hint of coldness in her eyes. Since this method didn't work, she could try another one.

Hearing that Xu Taiyang was still calling someone, she sighed in her heart.

Xu Taiyang is good in every way except that he is too simple-minded. You can see through him at a glance and he is not challenging at all.

She slowly opened her eyes and rubbed her swollen eyebrows, "Taiyang, am I drunk?"

Xu Taiyang took back the phone, "You're awake."

"What time is it now?" She looked around in confusion.

"It's already noon the next day."

"Has it been so long?" Xie Jianing smiled apologetically, "I'm so sorry for asking you to drink with me last night."

"We are friends. It's my duty to accompany you when you are in a bad mood." Xu Taiyang shrugged indifferently.

Xie Jianing smiled slightly: "Taiyang, you are really good."

She knew very well that Xu Taiyang was not interested in her, but was just loyal to her.

No matter who looks for him, as long as he has time, he will risk his life to accompany the gentleman.

"I should go back now. Thank you for taking care of me." She supported herself on the sofa and stood up.

"Are you okay with this? I'll ask someone to take you back?" Xu Taiyang asked.

"No need, I can just take a taxi back." She smiled and waved her hand.

Xu Taiyang did not follow her, but watched her leave silently.

Xie Jianing left the bar, walked outside, slowly straightened his chest and cheered himself up.

She wasn't drunk in the first place, everything before was just pretend.

There is no need to pretend anymore.

She took a taxi back to the new villa she had moved into, which was next door to Lu Jiangyu's home.

I looked around but didn't see him, nor did I see any signs of anyone else in the house.

She also knew that he was very busy at work and was rarely at home during the day, so she was not in a hurry.

After a night without rest, she fell asleep on the bed.

Only after gathering strength can he compete with Xu Piao in wits and courage and snatch Lu Jiangyu away.

At the same time, Xu Piao was already sitting at the dining table, opposite her was Lu Jiangyu.

It is rare to see two people sitting together to eat like this.

She felt a little uncomfortable, and always felt that the current situation was a bit magical.

They were two unrelated people before, but now they are sitting together again because of various events.

Lu Jiangyu raised his head, met her inquiring eyes, and asked with a smile: "What are you looking at? Is the food not to your liking?"

"...No." She shook her head, then looked away and stopped looking at him.

Lu Jiangyu smiled slightly and said nothing more, accompanying her to eat in silence.

Aunt Wu stood aside, watching the scene in front of her, and felt quite emotional.

In all her years in the Lu family, this was the first time she saw the Third Young Master treat someone with such patience.

It was clear that not long ago, the Third Young Master was still indifferent to the Young Madam.

What's happening now?

How come it suddenly got better?

Although she didn't quite understand, she could tell that the Third Young Master's wife's life would not be as difficult as before.

After Xu Piao and Lu Jiangyu finished their meal, she felt very sleepy.

This kind of sleepiness was something I had never felt before, as if it was out of my control.

She is also a doctor and knows very well that this is not a strange thing.

It’s just that my reaction was slow, and now it has finally arrived.

She glanced at Lu Jiangyu lazily and said, "I'm going upstairs to rest. You can do whatever you want."

Lu Jiangyu looked at her tired appearance, walked up to her and asked in confusion: "What's wrong with you? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"

"It's okay, there's no big problem. I'll be fine after a while of sleep." She waved her hands, not wanting to tell him why she wanted to sleep.

Whether to have the child or not, she hopes to decide on her own without him interfering.

She ignored Lu Jiangyu and went upstairs again.

Lu Jiangyu looked at her back and thought that she was also a great doctor.

Since she said it was nothing, then it was nothing.

He still had work to deal with, so he turned around and said, "Aunt Wu, look after her and satisfy her needs. If you have any questions, you can call me at any time."

Aunt Wu didn't expect that he would care so much about the health of the Third Young Master's wife. She nodded continuously: "Okay, okay, don't worry. I will definitely inform you if anything happens."

Lu Jiangyu nodded, said no more, and left the house.

Xu Piao didn’t know how long he slept, but when he woke up he felt much better.

She went downstairs and didn't see anyone else. Lu Jiangyu must have left.

Come to the living room, sit on the sofa and watch TV.

After a while, the door opened and Aunt Wu came back from outside.

After seeing her, he greeted her warmly: "Miss Xu, you are up now, are you hungry?"

She touched her stomach and nodded subconsciously: "I'm a little hungry."

"I bought some fruit here. Eat some to fill your stomach. I'll go cook and we'll be ready soon."

Aunt Wu placed the fruits she bought in front of her and then went to the kitchen to busy herself.

She was eating and watching TV.

Until the phone rang, she picked up the phone and raised her eyebrows slightly when she saw the familiar number.

I put it to my ear and answered it, and a gentle voice rang out: "I have time tonight, can we come out and chat?"
