As Lu Xi listened to Lu Jinyu's suggestion, a sudden inspiration struck her.
Why didn't I think of that?
I was just thinking there wasn't enough space, but now there's plenty.
"Dad, you're amazing! From now on, please come over and give me some advice more often, okay?"
Lu Xi became extremely excited.
The sullen look from before was completely gone, and she started to laugh.
"Whatever it is for you, Dad will do his best to help."
Looking at his daughter's silly face, Lu Jinyu suddenly realized that his precious daughter hadn't grown up yet.
"Everyone, do a good job today, and I'll treat you all to a nice lunch!"
Immediately, the workers cheered.
Thinking about how lucky I am to have met such a boss.
After her afternoon rest, Jiang Manyue leaned against a deck chair on the balcony and basked in the sun.
Lu Fan carried a plate of fruit and walked over.
"Why is my wife awake so early? Don't you want to sleep a little longer?"
As Lu Fan spoke, he considerately fed Jiang Manyue the fruit:
"I've been sleeping too much lately. My back and waist ache from sleeping all day. Besides, if I keep sleeping, I'll turn into a lazy pig."
Jiang Manyue's pregnancy became increasingly obvious.
Her voice also became soft and gentle, lacking its usual coldness.
"My wife is so beautiful, even if she turns into a lazy pig, she'll still be an incredibly beautiful lazy pig."
Lu Fan looked at Jiang Manyue and grew to like her even more.
Even though she was close to giving birth, her figure remained unchanged.
Moreover, her skin is getting whiter and whiter, and her skin is becoming more and more tender.
Who wouldn't be happy to see this?
"Look at you, your words have been as sweet as honey lately. You wouldn't even call me once before. What's wrong? Did you come back just to make it up to me?"
Jiang Manyue was also a little angry, after all, she was pregnant.
My own husband doesn't call even once every ten days or half a month.
On the surface, they may seem indifferent, but deep down they might have some wild thoughts.
Moreover, he would always use being too busy as an excuse to brush her off. Jiang Manyue wasn't stupid; she was considerate of Lu Fan.
But if this happens frequently, her heart is still very fragile, especially since she is pregnant.
Lu Fan noticed Jiang Manyue's distress and immediately began to comfort her.
"I'm sorry, my wife, for making you suffer so much, but look, I'm back now, aren't I?"
I'm back now specifically to take care of you and the baby.
I don't plan to leave again this time.
Jiang Manyue was somewhat surprised upon hearing this.
"If you're not planning to go back, what will happen to the Jiang Group?"
Upon hearing about the Jiang Group, Lu Fan, though reluctant to speak, still gave a reply.
"The Jiang Group has been handed over to Xixi to manage. I think she is capable of managing it well."
Jiang Manyue was puzzled. Could Lu Xi, with such a half-baked personality, manage the company well?
Or perhaps I learned a lot during my time in Guangcheng.
It wasn't that she doubted him, but based on her understanding of Lu Xi, she simply couldn't handle the job.
“Honey, do you really think you can hand over the Jiang Group to Xixi to manage? She’s too impetuous right now. If she doesn’t manage it well, the Jiang Group will be ruined. That’s your hard work.”
Hearing Jiang Manyue's words, Lu Fan was naturally somewhat displeased.
After all, they are family; the two are siblings.
Fortunately, Lu Fan understood Jiang Manyue and knew what she meant; she didn't look down on Lu Xi.
Instead, they were genuinely considering the interests of the Jiang Group.
However, Jiang Manyue has been staying at home for the past few months, so it's normal that she doesn't know.
"Honey, don't worry about that. I've nurtured Xixi's abilities little by little."
"Moreover, no one knows the situation of the Jiang Group better than her."
"Now you just need to take good care of your pregnancy and ensure our baby is born safely, that's enough, you don't need to worry about anything else."
Lu Fan quickly seized the opportunity to change the subject.
But Jiang Manyue still wanted to continue talking.
"Honey, I'm not trying to argue with you, but I really don't think Xixi is a good fit. After the baby is born, how about we go to the Jiang Group together?"
When Jiang Manyue didn't come, Lu Fan felt an unusual sense of crisis.
Jiang Manyue didn't like working before either.
But why would he suddenly make such a request now? This puzzled Lu Fan.
So he pretended to comfort her:
"My wife needs to rest and recuperate after giving birth. How can you come with me to manage the Jiang Group?"
"Besides, I'd feel bad if you went back to work before you'd fully recovered."
"I came back this time to spend quality time with my parents and you, and I don't plan to go back again."
Lu Fan's words showed that he was determined to hand over the Jiang Group to Lu Xi.
"After I recover from giving birth, I can go to the Jiang Group. It's not that I don't believe in Xixi's abilities. It's just that you know the Jiang Group is yours, the result of your hard work, so I'm really worried about it."
Jiang Manyue's words were actually motivated by ulterior motives; she simply wanted to avoid arousing Lu Fan's suspicion.
She had no choice but to smooth things over like this.
Jiang Manyue still insisted on going to the Jiang Group.
Lu Fan didn't want to argue with her any further.
Given her current physical condition, she cannot afford any further problems.
Otherwise, it might affect the baby. That would be a loss rather than a gain.
"Honey, in that case, let's make plans after you've fully recovered from giving birth, okay? Besides, Xixi won't be going to Jiang's Group during this time; she'll be busy with the renovations."
"I have already handed over the management of the Jiang Group to a specialist."
Lu Fan's attempt to comfort him was effective.
Jiang Manyue stopped investigating further.
She knew that Lu Fan had only temporarily calmed her down, but given her current situation...
She is indeed unable to perform her work duties and can only wait until after giving birth.
However, this period of time is enough. In fact, her purpose is very simple: she is indeed worried about things.
Even though the two are siblings, Jiang Manyue really didn't dare to trust Lu Xi's ability to get things done.
Jiang Manyue knew very well that the Jiang Group was Lu Fan's life's work.
She put in so much effort back then, and she watched it all unfold step by step.
Therefore, we must absolutely prevent any crisis from occurring.
"Honey, please don't overthink it. I really didn't mean anything by it."
"I'm just a little worried about Xixi. I think you understand, considering what she did before."
"So I'm really worried about you handing the Jiang Group over to Xixi."
Lu Fan, who was standing to the side, fell into deep thought.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Manyue hurriedly began to speak.
She didn't want Lu Fan to overthink things because of this.
Or perhaps he felt she approached him with some ulterior motive.
