Chapter 328 Overbearing Prohibition
After returning from the hospital, Lu Jingyan carried Su Wantang into the house and gently placed her on the bed, handling her with more care than if she were a bomb.
He stood by the bed, looking down at her with a frighteningly serious expression.
"From now on, you are not allowed to get out of bed except to go to the toilet."
Su Wantang was stunned for a moment, thinking she had misheard.
"What did you say?"
"I said, from now on, you are not allowed to get out of bed." Lu Jingyan repeated, his tone leaving no room for negotiation.
"Eating and sleeping, all in bed."
"Not a single business document is allowed to be viewed."
"Don't think about anything that's troubling."
"What you eat, what you drink, and when you sleep—it's all up to me."
He read them aloud one by one, as if issuing a military order.
Su Wantang was both amused and exasperated after hearing this.
"Lu Jingyan, you've gone too far!"
"Too much?" Lu Jingyan sneered.
Do you know how I got through last night?
I thought you were going to die.
"I thought I was going to lose my baby."
"I thought I had nothing left in this life."
As he spoke, his voice became hoarse.
Su Wantang's heart softened when she saw his red eyes.
She reached out her hand, trying to pull him down to sit.
Lu Jingyan stepped back, preventing her from touching him.
"Don't try to charm me, it won't work this time."
"If you don't behave, I'll tie you to the bed."
He spoke seriously; it didn't sound like he was joking at all.
Su Wantang opened her mouth, wanting to refute, but was silenced by a glare from him.
The look in his eyes held none of the usual doting affection, only an unyielding command and a deep sense of lingering fear.
She sighed and gave in.
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you."
Lu Jingyan breathed a sigh of relief and turned to leave.
Less than five minutes later, he came in carrying a bowl of hot soup.
"drink."
Su Wantang took the bowl and took a sip.
It's chicken soup made by Wang Ma, and it tastes very delicious.
Just as she was about to drink it herself, Lu Jingyan snatched the bowl away and fed her himself.
"I can drink it myself."
"No, what if you get burned?"
Su Wantang was speechless.
This person is truly obsessed.
After she finished her soup, Lu Jingyan brought over a pillow and placed it behind her back.
"Is it comfortable?"
"Comfortable."
"Should we add another one?"
"No."
Lu Jingyan was still worried, so he went and got another blanket and covered her legs with it.
Are you cold?
"It's not cold."
Would you like some water?
"don't want."
Do you need to use the restroom?
"...Lu Jingyan, aren't you annoying?"
Lu Jingyan remained silent, sitting on the edge of the bed, staring at her intently.
Su Wantang felt extremely uncomfortable under his gaze.
"Could you please stop looking at me like that?"
I was afraid you would feel uncomfortable.
"I am fine."
"You said you were fine, but you were in so much pain last night."
As Lu Jingyan spoke, his eyes reddened again.
"Wantang, don't scare me."
"I'm really scared."
Su Wantang felt a pang of sadness and reached out to hug him.
"I know, I will be more careful in the future."
Lu Jingyan buried his face in the crook of her neck, his voice muffled.
"You need to take good care of yourself."
"If anything happens to you, I won't live either."
Su Wantang patted his back.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
"I'm fine, and the child is fine too."
Lu Jingyan hugged her for a while before letting go.
He stood up and straightened his uniform.
"I'll go cook."
Where is Wang Ma?
"I let her rest."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Su Wantang lay in bed, listening to the clattering sounds coming from the kitchen, and couldn't help but laugh.
This person is so adorably stupid.
Not long after, Meng Wan knocked on the door and came in.
She sat on the edge of the bed and held Su Wantang's hand.
"Wantang, don't blame Jingyan."
"He's just too worried about you."
Su Wantang shook her head.
"Mom, I don't blame him."
"I know he meant well."
Meng Wan smiled.
"I'm glad you understand."
“This child has always been like this; once he's made up his mind, nothing can change it.”
"But this time, he was really terrified."
“Last night, when he carried you out, I saw his hands were shaking.”
Su Wantang felt a warmth in her heart.
She knew Lu Jingyan loved her, but she never imagined he loved her to this extent.
Just then, footsteps came from outside the door.
Lu Zhenguo walked in.
He glanced at Su Wantang, then at Meng Wan.
"Is Wan Tang alright?"
"It's alright, Dad," Su Wantang said with a smile.
"It's just that the baby is too naughty."
Lu Zhenguo smiled, a rare occurrence for him.
"Being naughty is good; it means you're healthy."
"But you should also take better care of your health."
"Jingyan is right, you should just stay home quietly."
"Let them handle the outside matters."
Su Wantang nodded.
She knew that this family was protecting her.
Just then, Qin Zheng delivered a document.
It was sent by Master He, the first month's profit report of Derentang.
Meng Wan took the document and flipped through it.
"Wow, the profit has tripled?"
"Wantang, you're doing a really good job with this business."
Su Wantang smiled.
"It's all thanks to the hard work of Master He and his team."
Meng Wan looked down again.
"These kinds of health pills are very popular in Beijing right now."
"Many ladies are inquiring about it and want to buy it."
"I heard that even the minister's wife asked someone to inquire about it."
Su Wantang nodded.
"These formulas are all from medical books."
"The effect is indeed very good."
Meng Wan put the document aside.
"You should focus on your pregnancy now, and take care of these things after the baby is born."
"Right now, nothing is more important than you and the child."
Su Wantang felt a warm feeling in her heart.
She nodded and agreed.
At dinner time, Lu Jingyan brought in a plate of food.
The dishes didn't look very appealing, but they tasted alright.
The whole family sat together, and the atmosphere was very pleasant.
Lu Jingyan picked up a piece of meat and placed it in Su Wantang's bowl.
Eat more.
Su Wantang took a bite, and it tasted pretty good.
"You did a great job today."
Lu Jingyan rarely showed a smile.
"Then you should eat more in the future."
Halfway through his meal, he put down his chopsticks and suddenly stood up.
Everyone was looking at him.
He walked to Su Wantang's side, bent down, and spoke to her slightly protruding belly.
"You listen to me."
"Behave yourself inside from now on, and don't cause any more trouble for your mother."
"Your mother is my life. If you lose even a single hair on her head, wait till you get out and see how I teach you a lesson."
He spoke seriously; it didn't sound like he was joking at all.
The room was quiet for a few seconds.
Then, Meng Wan burst out laughing.
"Jingyan, are you talking to a child?"
Lu Jingyan blushed and sat back down.
"I was just giving him a warning."
Lu Zhenguo smiled too.
"You're really taking on the role of a father."
Looking at him, Su Wantang felt incredibly warm inside.
This man truly puts her and their child first in his life.
After dinner, Lu Jingyan helped her back to her room.
He settled her on the bed, then sat down beside her and held her hand.
"Wantang, I'm scared."
"In my entire life, I have never been afraid of going to the battlefield."
"But last night, I was really scared."
Su Wantang gripped his hand tightly.
"I know."
"With you here, I'm not afraid of anything."
Lu Jingyan lowered his head and kissed her forehead.
"You get some sleep."
"I'll stay by your side."
Su Wantang closed her eyes and quickly fell asleep.
Lu Jingyan sat on the edge of the bed, watching her without moving.
It was very late at night, but he was still awake.
He was afraid she would feel uncomfortable again.
He was afraid the child would make a fuss again.
He was afraid that if he closed his eyes, she would disappear.
