As Shang Wu gazed at the darkening sky outside the window, a mix of emotions swirled within her, leaving her unable to make sense of it all.
She never expected that things would turn out this way between Lu You and Cheng Zhou.
A seemingly perfect man quickly took his place next to Lu You.
Lu Rang noticed her low spirits and gently pulled her into his arms.
His voice was gentle and deep: "Don't think too much about it. That's Sister You's own life. Your most important task now is to rest well and keep a happy mood. The doctor said the first three months are the most critical."
He paused, then said, "The hospital environment is too noisy and not conducive to rest. Let's go home and I'll take care of you."
Shang Wu thought about it and felt more comfortable at home, so she nodded in agreement.
Lu Rang made efficient arrangements for Shang Wu's discharge from the hospital. He even managed to get a smart electric wheelchair from somewhere, carefully lifted Shang Wu into it, and pushed her away from the hospital.
The car drove smoothly into a tranquil and secure top-tier villa area.
Looking at the unfamiliar scenery outside the window, Shang Wu asked with some confusion, "Isn't this the apartment we used to live in?"
"Um."
As Lu Rang steered the car through the gate of a grand villa, he explained.
“That apartment is small and doesn’t have an elevator, so it’s inconvenient. I’ve already bought this villa, and it’s perfect for you to move in now. It’s more suitable for you to rest during your pregnancy and for the baby to play in the future.”
The car came to a stop, and Lu Rang carried Shang Wu out of the car.
As soon as Shang Wu stepped into the spacious and bright living room, she was taken aback by the sight before her.
There were two neat rows of people standing in the living room.
On the left are two middle-aged nannies in clean uniforms with smiles on their faces.
On the right are three seemingly professional and capable caregivers.
Standing in the middle was a gentle-looking woman wearing glasses, who introduced herself as a professional maternity nurse.
There was also a nutritionist who was holding a preliminary pregnancy diet plan, ready to give a presentation.
It's practically a small medical and nursing team!
Shang Wu stared at Lu Rang in disbelief, her eyes asking: Did you arrange all of this?
Lu Rang looked completely at ease, even with a hint of seeking praise.
"The more people there are, the more thorough the care will be. Don't worry, they were all carefully selected and are absolutely professional and reliable."
As he spoke, he picked up the velvet box on the table, opened it, and handed it to Shang Wu.
Inside the box lay a set of top-tier, limited-edition jewelry, complete with a necklace, earrings, and bracelet, shimmering under the light.
"Pregnancy must be tough, this is a gift for you."
"I'll give you one every month from now on."
Everyone around was stunned.
Looking at the priceless jewelry set and then at the large group of staff members standing ready, Shang Wu felt a chill run down her spine.
She knew Lu Rang was acting out of concern, but this was just too much.
She's just pregnant, she's not unable to take care of herself!
"Wait." Shang Wu quickly pressed Lu Rang's hand, pushed the box back, and pointed to the row of people.
"I appreciate your kind gesture and I'm very touched, but there really wasn't a need for so many people!"
"With so many people moving into my house all at once, I feel a lot of pressure and I'm not getting enough rest."
She grabbed Lu Rang's hand and shook it, starting to coax and plead with him.
“We’ll just leave one caregiver to help with my daily life and recovery, and a nutritionist to manage my diet. That’s enough. We don’t need a nanny. I prefer a quieter home.”
Lu Rang frowned slightly, somewhat uneasy.
"Please, please? Otherwise, I'll start to have prenatal anxiety from being around so many people every day," Shang Wu continued to plead.
Lu Rang frowned, feeling that there were too few people and it wasn't safe enough.
“But your foot injury hasn’t healed yet, and you’re pregnant. You need someone to take care of you all the time.”
"Having you by my side is enough!" Shang Wu quickly flattered her, "You make me feel more at ease than ten caregivers, and the doctor also said that I need to move around appropriately and can't rely on others for everything."
After Shang Wu pleaded and begged for a while, Lu Rang finally reluctantly agreed to leave only the most experienced caregiver and the nutritionist.
The others were paid generously to leave temporarily and remain on standby.
After seeing off that large group of people, Shang Wu finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that the air in the house had circulated much better.
She was about to complain to Lu Rang about his emperor-like treatment when the doorbell suddenly rang.
Lu let go and open the door.
Standing outside the door was none other than Cheng Zhou.
He was carrying a beautiful baby gift box, with a forced smile on his face, but his eyes were somewhat evasive and dim.
"I heard you were discharged from the hospital and moved to a new house, so I came to visit."
Cheng Zhou's voice was a little hoarse, "I bought a small gift for... for the baby."
Lu Rang stepped aside to let him in. Shang Wu was about to greet him when her gaze suddenly stopped.
Behind Cheng Zhou was Cheng Keke, whose eyes looked timid.
Lu Rang's face instantly darkened, and the air pressure around him suddenly dropped.
He glanced coldly at Coco.
He never forgot the suffering Shang Wu endured at the service area last time.
Cheng Zhou immediately sensed Lu Rang's anger and quickly pulled Cheng Keke back.
An embarrassed and helpless expression appeared on his face: "Lu told you not to get agitated! Listen to me! She's not here to cause trouble. She's leaving next Monday to register for a school abroad. All the formalities are done. She just wants to come and apologize to Shang Wu before she leaves. Really! I promise she'll leave right after she says that!"
Cheng Keke was also terrified, her face turning pale. She hid behind Cheng Zhou and whispered, her voice trembling with tears, "Sister Shang Wu, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. I know I was wrong. I'll definitely change in the future. You and the baby have to be well..."
