Chapter 41 Manta Rose, don't move, you're not dressed yet...
On set, when Xia Weiwei changed into her third outfit, she regretted having Lu Yanzhou accompany her.
"Mr. Lu, you don't still disagree, do you?" Xiaoya looked at Xia Weiwei's changed clothes, and as she spoke, her tone became more certain.
The first dress had a light blue ribbon hanging from the neck, the end of which fell down to only cover the exposed navel.
Above the navel is a normal strapless top.
But Lu Yanzhou had someone change this dress before he even left the room.
"Why should we change?" the person in charge complained, stepping forward to stop them.
Before Xia Weiwei could even open her mouth to explain, Lu Yanzhou had already impatiently revealed his family background.
"Because I'm her husband."
The person in charge immediately thought of the recent big scandal online. He wasn't interested in domestic entertainment, but Xia Weiwei was very famous, and he knew a little about her.
His gaze fell on Lu Yanzhou, and the man's handsome face showed no sign of yielding.
So he is Lu Yanzhou, the young CEO of the Lu Group.
If they really offended Lu Yanzhou, he would buy out their company.
"I'm not very satisfied with this outfit either; it doesn't bring out Teacher Xia's ethereal气质 (qi zhi - refined and elegant demeanor)."
The person in charge snapped their fingers, and Xia Weiwei, standing at the door, was pulled inside by the staff.
The second outfit is a strapless dress with a fitted waist; once it reaches the lower abdomen, the belly pushes the dress up.
She was beautiful, but the stylist had seen Xia Weiwei with her belly exposed, and the stunning image of her belly exposed was firmly etched in her mind.
Xia Weiwei's belly was beautiful, smooth and delicate, like a flawless white pearl held in someone's palm.
Even so, Lu Yanzhou still made Xia Weiwei change it.
The person in charge was dissatisfied, but dared not show it on his face.
Even after Xia Weiwei changed into her third outfit, no one knew what the problem was, but Xia Weiwei smiled.
The second outfit will likely expose the chest when bending over.
The third outfit was a silk slip dress. Before leaving the house, Xia Weiwei asked the stylist to add a shawl.
"Honey, changing clothes like this is exhausting." Lu Yanzhou was amazed by every outfit she wore, but before he could speak, Xia Weiwei spoke first.
The girl's soft voice and slightly tired face made Lu Yanzhou feel heartbroken.
"If you're really tired, let's reschedule for another day."
Xia Weiwei: "..."
The staff member was taken aback when he heard this.
Do I have to endure this torment again someday?
"No need, I've already changed my clothes, let's finish taking the photos."
Lu Yanzhou had a leisurely smile on his face. Xia Weiwei understood; he was doing it on purpose, deliberately making her act coquettish.
This person's heart, if you cut it open, is completely black.
The photoshoot finally got underway. The silk dress she was wearing was a new product from the British brand J.EN, which is famous for its maternity wear, where a single maternity dress can sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Pregnancy lasts less than ten months, and no one would spend money to buy a maternity dress worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, which would then become just a decoration after being worn. However, there are plenty of wealthy women in rich families who are not short of money.
They were proud to wear her limited edition pieces.
Xia Weiwei only found out after the shoot was over that she had already become a trending topic for wearing his dresses. What was even more shocking was that Lu Yanzhou bought all three dresses she had tried on that day.
However, during the shoot, the photographer was not satisfied with any of the shots. It wasn't Xia Weiwei's fault; he felt that something was missing.
Late pregnancy is already tiring. The person in charge said the shoot would definitely be finished in an hour, but now it's been an hour and a half and the photographer is still sighing.
"If you can't get the shot right, then we'll find someone else." Lu Yanzhou, afraid of affecting Xia Weiwei's mood, took a few steps forward, his shadow falling on Xia Weiwei through the light.
Xia Weiwei was instantly enveloped by Lu Yanzhou's broad chest.
Lu Yanzhou was wearing a fitted black turtleneck sweater, and the girl, sheltered by him, looked shy and dependent.
During pregnancy, the most important thing is the man behind you.
He should stand up for the woman he loves.
Upon seeing this, the photographer excitedly slapped his thigh and quickly snapped a few photos.
However, something is still missing.
"It would be great if there were some more masculine elements," the photographer muttered.
When it comes to things that represent male strength, the first thing that comes to Xia Weiwei's mind is Lu Yanzhou's abs.
His muscles are both aesthetically pleasing and robust.
But with so many people around, we can't expect Lu Yanzhou to take off his clothes.
Xia Weiwei thought for a moment, then met Lu Yanzhou's gaze.
In the few months since they became husband and wife, the two have started to share their thoughts.
Lu Yanzhou had a mischievous smile on his face. The next second, he supported himself with one hand on the hem of his sweater, and with a forceful pull, he took off the sweater, revealing his beautiful and well-defined muscles to everyone.
He doesn't need to pose deliberately; his chest muscles are naturally prominent, and his abdominal muscles are clearly defined.
Even during her pregnancy, Xia Weiwei remained petite.
At this moment, she was enveloped by the shadow cast by the man's enormous body, and a shy smile appeared on her face.
The contrast between masculine strength and feminine softness creates a striking visual impact.
This also makes people more convinced that he can protect his princess.
In the last picture, Xia Weiwei slightly raised her chin, looking back at Lu Yanzhou like a queen.
The atmosphere was fiery, filled with desire and lust, yet it didn't feel vulgar at all; instead, it made everyone around, regardless of gender, feel their blood boil.
This is even better than a Category III film.
Lu Yanzhou raised an eyebrow and glanced at her, then looked at Xia Weiwei with a hint of aggression in his eyes.
She couldn't hold on any longer; the image in her mind was of Lu Yanzhou blocking her in the bathroom and kissing her.
Recently, perhaps Lu Yanzhou has reached his limit, but when they kiss, he can hold her tongue in his mouth for an hour, and with every swallowing motion, he has to pull her tongue out from the back.
Lu Yanzhou died a violent death.
"Once the photoshoot is complete, this issue of the magazine will definitely sell like hotcakes."
The photographer put away the camera with satisfaction, and the person in charge treated Lu Yanzhou like a grandfather.
Xia Weiwei blushed and gave a soft "hmm," then out of the corner of her eye, she saw Lu Yanzhou pick up the black sweater he had thrown on the chair and put it on.
Lu Yanzhou, dressed, was even more alluring.
"I'll do it, you go and rest."
When Xiaoya helped Xia Weiwei up, Lu Yanzhou reached out and took her hand.
Xiaoya couldn't look Lu Yanzhou in the eye; she could only marvel at how well Weiwei was eating.
Xiaoya nodded and tried to let go, but Xia Weiwei grabbed her hand instead.
Xiaoya looked over in confusion, and Xia Weiwei looked at her with pleading eyes.
She can't let go, or Lu Yanzhou will take advantage of her completely.
Xiaoya understood Xia Weiwei's plea for help, but she couldn't understand it. How could this be? Weiwei was in her late pregnancy, and President Lu cherished her so much. How could he do something reckless?
"Weiwei?" Lu Yanzhou called out gently.
Looking at Lu Yanzhou, who appeared to be a refined and cultured young nobleman, Xiaoya felt reassured and pulled her hand away from Xia Weiwei's.
"Honey, it's time to change your clothes. I need to cook for you when we get home."
Xia Weiwei stretched her hand straight out towards Xiaoya's retreating figure, and the next second, everyone gasped in surprise.
Lu Yanzhou simply picked Xia Weiwei up and carried her horizontally.
Xia Weiwei nestled in the man's chest, panting softly like a ragdoll cat in dire need of comfort.
It is too sweet!
So spoiled!
I saw someone online saying that President Lu and Xia Weiwei's affection was fake!
"It's just basic stuff. Normally, President Lu would love for Weiwei to live on him." Xiaoya was used to it and even thought that Lu Yanzhou was holding back.
Someone couldn't resist posting a photo of Lu Yanzhou holding Xia Weiwei.
Inside the dressing room, Xia Weiwei had her back to Lu Yanzhou, letting him take off her sundress.
The girl's back was like natural white jade, with only a red mole on her right shoulder blade.
Xia Weiwei waited for two seconds and noticed that the man behind her did not move.
"I'm cold." Xia Weiwei thought she had been clear enough.
The man hummed in response, then wrapped his arms tightly around her, his hand landing on the spot he knew best.
Xia Weiwei: "..."
Suddenly, Xia Weiwei straightened up as if she had been electrocuted.
Lu Yanzhou kissed her on her red mole.
No one had ever kissed her before; Lu Yanzhou had stepped into a new territory of hers.
"Very beautiful." The man spoke again, his voice deep and intense, burning Xia Weiwei's heart.
Isn't it pretty?
Nobody said that.
Lu Yanzhou's kisses moved from the back of her neck to the front, and he even turned her over completely.
The sounds of swallowing during their kiss continued incessantly. The surroundings were too quiet; not even the usual barely perceptible sound of water could be heard. Xia Weiwei's heart was pounding in her throat as she listened to the intimate sounds.
Moreover, this wasn't at home, and she was terrified that someone would come and urge them.
"Ouch!" Xia Weiwei opened her eyes in pain.
Lu Yanzhou's dark eyes seemed to want to devour her whole, while at the same time he was blaming her for not being focused on the kiss; this was her punishment.
"What?" Xia Weiwei retorted with a sharp bite.
The two bit and kissed, and finally, Lu Yanzhou resigned himself to burying his face in her arms and taking a deep breath.
The intense heat burned her skin until it turned blood red.
"I still have two months before I'm free," Lu Yanzhou said, his voice filled with frustration.
"Why two months?" Xia Weiwei didn't quite understand for a moment.
Lu Yanzhou paused for a moment, then looked up at her.
Why?
Of course, there's also the postpartum period.
His wife is so stupid.
"You despise me!" Xia Weiwei saw the deeper meaning in his eyes, angrily punched Lu Yanzhou in the chest, and turned to run away.
"Don't move, I haven't dressed you yet."
Now I know I need to dress her.
Men, haha.
Xiaoya thought the two of them would stay in the locker room for at least two hours. An hour later, she saw them come out and looked surprised.
It's over so quickly, neither of you is perfect!
Xia Weiwei was speechless and tapped Xiaoya on the head.
Xiaoya chuckled foolishly; could you blame her for overthinking?
Xia Weiwei, a woman among women.
Lu Yanzhou, a man among men.
The two of them shouldn't do anything too much when they're together.
Moreover, these words weren't spoken by her; they were a sharp comment from her fans.
Just now, a staff member couldn't help but post a picture of the two embracing. Even though their faces weren't shown, fans recognized them in less than three seconds.
#True couples dare to do it# #Mom and Dad, I'm born!#
#No wonder she's pregnant, who can resist this figure?#, just one picture, and it occupied three trending topics.
Xia Weiwei hadn't checked her phone yet and didn't know what was happening, so she pulled Lu Yanzhou outside.
The fans had her filming schedule for the day, and it was still quite cold. When Xia Weiwei asked Xiaoya to order hot milk tea for the fans, Xiaoya told her that Lu Yanzhou had already ordered it.
After she went out, she greeted her fans with Lu Yanzhou's support.
Fans are easily satisfied; a smile from her can make them happy all day.
She felt a little guilty for not greeting her fans when she arrived, and since Lu Yanzhou and his bodyguards were also there, she deliberately walked slowly and gave high-fives to the fans who reached out their hands.
"Weiwei, you must take good care of yourself!"
Her fans looked at her with hopeful eyes, then at her belly.
Because of her pregnancy, everyone made sure to leave enough space for the three of them to walk side by side.
"I will, thank you." Xia Weiwei's face was warm.
"Mr. Lu, if anything happens to Weiwei during childbirth, I..."
"No! Weiwei will be safe and sound."
Before a fan could finish speaking, Lu Yanzhou interrupted her.
She quickly slapped her own mouth.
The two ate for half an hour, and then Lu Yanzhou left with Xia Weiwei, using the excuse that he had to go back and cook for her.
An hour later.
Lu Yanzhou posted his sixth Weibo update.
[Lu Yanzhou V: She said it was delicious]
The accompanying photos show his signature dishes: tomato beef brisket, celery and shrimp, and happy egg flowers, as well as a sleeping girl's face.
Another wave of excitement has swept the internet. It turns out he really does cook, and Mr. Lu really can cook!
After this event, Xia Weiwei stayed at home.
It's been ten days; people need to get out and about, or they'll get bored.
When Aunt Zhang realized what was happening, she was thinking about how to tell President Lu. She received a message from Lu Yanzhou, saying that Xia Weiwei should bring him lunch at noon.
[Manta Rose: Can't you eat at home?]
Xia Weiwei frowned, feeling extremely reluctant to go out.
[Husband: I'm busy at work today, I have a meeting in two hours.]
Xia Weiwei glanced at the time; it was 10:30.
Xia Weiwei was still thinking about how to find an excuse.
[Husband: Can you bear to see your husband go hungry?]
[Husband: You still haven't delivered the lunchbox you promised to send me last time.]
Husband: I want to eat the boxed lunch you sent.
[Husband: Everyone else gets a lovingly prepared lunch from their wives, but I don't.]
Husband: Maybe it's because I'm not important to you.
Husband: No, you have to come and deliver it, otherwise our image as a loving couple will be ruined.
Lu Yanzhou's messages kept popping up.
[Manta Rose: Are you really in a meeting?]
Lu Yanzhou: "..."
He looked around the back seat, but of course there was nothing there; he was in a Land Rover across from his apartment building.
[Husband: I don't care, I've already told Aunt Zhang to do it.]
Xia Weiwei let out a long breath, as if she had made a decision and agreed with a sense of resignation.
[Manta Rose: Okay, just wait for your wife's lovingly prepared lunch.]
After that incident, whenever she thought about going out alone, she would recall the scene of being surrounded and attacked.
A heavy, dark cloud hung over her heart.
During this time, Lu Yanzhou was also busy and couldn't accompany her out for a stroll.
Lu Yanzhou was busy, so she naturally wouldn't ask to go for a walk, but... now Lu Yanzhou was letting her go out alone.
No, she can't be this fragile!
Xia Weiwei pretended to be calm and went to find Aunt Zhang.
Half an hour later, Xia Weiwei appeared before Lu Yanzhou, wearing a light yellow coat and a bright green cashmere leather skirt with a lining.
The girl's eyes darted around; she would quickly avoid anyone who came near.
She carried the thermos in one hand and protected her stomach with the other.
Lu Yanzhou wanted to send her a message to comfort her, but he was afraid that if she reached for her phone, she would be too busy to take care of herself.
A minute later, Xia Weiwei got into her family driver's car.
Xia Weiwei got into the car, her tense body relaxed, and she realized that coming out alone wasn't so scary after all.
Xia Weiwei's gaze softened as she looked out the car window at the world, where her endorsement was still displayed on the central screen of the shopping mall.
"Baby, you must stay for the required number of days before coming out. There's no rush."
Xia Weiwei was reminding herself about her stomach when she looked away and didn't see a Land Rover following behind her in the rearview mirror.
The Land Rover was only three meters away from her, while the Bentley in front of her steadily led the way.
Xia Weiwei wasn't wearing a mask, only a fisherman's hat, but even so, she was still recognized the moment she appeared in the lobby.
lady!
The lady actually came to the company!
Everyone stopped and looked at Xia Weiwei as if by unspoken agreement.
Xia Weiwei had long been able to calmly accept the public's attention, but now, she felt somewhat embarrassed.
"Excuse me, how do I get to Lu Yanzhou's office? I'm here to bring him lunch," Xia Weiwei asked, stopping the person closest to her.
The man was lost in thought. Xia Weiwei asked again, and he immediately snapped out of it and led Xia Weiwei onto the elevator.
Just as Xia Weiwei entered the elevator, Lu Yanzhou slipped in through the main door.
The receptionist wanted to tell Lu Yanzhou that his wife had arrived, but Lu Yanzhou didn't even look at her and went up to the VIP elevator.
What's going on?
The people in the hall exchanged glances, confused.
Mr. Lu asked his wife to deliver the meal, but why isn't he at the company?
Xia Weiwei walked through the secretary's office and arrived at Lu Yanzhou's office. Just as she was about to push the door open, a familiar voice came from behind her.
"Wife!"
Xia Weiwei turned around, surprised to see him standing behind her.
"I was in a meeting. I heard you were coming, so I came to find you," Lu Yanzhou said calmly, and even instructed the secretary who was closest to him to cancel the meeting.
The secretary was completely baffled. A meeting? What meeting? There was no meeting.
The secretary couldn't quite catch up with Lu Yanzhou's act, so Zhang Quan came to Lu Yanzhou's rescue.
"Mr. Lu, I've already said so."
Xia Weiwei, unsuspecting, lifted the lunchbox in her hand.
"I've brought lunch, come and eat."
Lu Yanzhou and a few others quickly walked up.
In the following days, everyone in the company saw Xia Weiwei bringing lunch, and her complexion improved day by day.
However, every time Xia Weiwei arrived, Lu Yanzhou would appear behind her, either having just finished a meeting or in the middle of one.
This made Xia Weiwei feel that she was delaying Lu Yanzhou's work.
This incident also trended on social media, but it was quickly suppressed.
Xia Weiwei wanted to keep a low profile, while Lu Yanzhou wished the whole world knew that his wife brought him food, but he had to listen to his wife and could only suppress his feelings.
Seven days later, Xia Weiwei smiled and snuggled into bed. After Lu Yanzhou got into bed, she rolled into his arms.
She's not afraid to go out now!
Why are you laughing so happily?
Xia Weiwei shook her head: "It's a secret."
"By the way, starting tomorrow you don't need to deliver lunch anymore, I'll eat when I get home."
"Why?"
She's become addicted to it.
Moreover, going out for a short while each day allows her to get some fresh air.
"What, are you in such a hurry to see your husband?"
Xia Weiwei held back for a moment, but couldn't help rolling her eyes.
If you blow some air on him, he can float.
"No need, I'll come back for dinner."
Seeing that Lu Yanzhou was so insistent, Xia Weiwei stopped insisting.
"However, I've granted you VIP access to the company elevator today."
Xia Weiwei's eyelashes fluttered; what did that mean?
"That way, next time you come, you can just take the VIP elevator."
No, there is a VIP elevator. Why have she been made to use the staff elevator for the past seven days? Although the staff will consider her pregnancy and give way to her, it is tiring for working people to squeeze into the elevator.
Xia Weiwei didn't understand, nor did she intend to continue trying to understand. She was so sleepy that after a while, she nodded, buried her face in Lu Yanzhou's chest muscles, and fell asleep.
Lu Yanzhou looked at her, his eyes overflowing with love.
He was both afraid that she wouldn't rely on him and afraid that she would harbor resentment.
Finally, fearing the latter even more, he devised this plan to help her overcome her fear.
Weiwei, after the baby is born, will you divorce me? Can I rely on him a little more?
