study.
Are you exactly one month pregnant?
Lin Zhenzhen didn't know how to answer Chen Houwen's question for a moment.
She could only nod somewhat awkwardly.
"I'll call the doctor tomorrow to ask how long it will take before I can have a blood test to determine the sex of the baby."
"I will arrange for you to have your blood drawn as soon as the test results are available."
"But don't tell the Yu family yet, especially Yu Jiamu's father."
After listening to him ramble on and on, Lin Zhenzhen had only one thought in her mind.
Where do I go to conjure up a child?
Does it reproduce asexually?
Chen Houwen stared intently at her lower abdomen.
"It would be best to try your best and give birth to a boy in one go."
When she walked out of the study, Lin Zhenzhen rolled her eyes so hard they almost reached the sky.
That's truly an amazing statement.
Why is having a boy considered a sign of success?
Why don't you take a look at what Chen Xinji is like?
Aside from occasionally using it as a punching bag, is it of any other use?
Aren't you worried that one day Chen Xinji will be hurt when he finds out about your comments about him?
The first thing Lin Zhenzhen did after entering the room was to lock the door from the inside, as Yu Jiamu had instructed.
[I'm praising him; isn't he adorable, a soft, cuddly pushover?]
She took off her clothes as she walked.
Unexpectedly, there was a huge round bathtub in this room, and a row of buttons next to it, which looked very high-end.
Lin Zhenzhen opened her phone app, ready to watch funny videos while taking a bubble bath.
As soon as the video started playing, Yu Jiamu called.
Lin Zhenzhen originally wanted to hang up, but in her panic, she accidentally pressed the answer button.
Upon seeing the face on the other end of the screen, she was so frightened that she threw her phone away.
"Ling Zhen".
"are u there?"
Only Yu Jiamu's voice echoed in the empty bathroom.
Lin Zhenzhen remained inactive.
She didn't come out until she heard the dial tone after the phone was hung up, then wrapped herself in a bath towel and came out.
[Oh dear!] the system exclaimed, [We're getting married soon, why are you being so formal!]
Get out of here!
Lin Zhenzhen picked up her phone and typed in the chat box.
[I was just taking a shower.]
He quickly replied: [Are you done washing?]
Lin Zhenzhen looked down at the foam on her legs.
[not yet.]
Yu Jiamu replied with an ambiguous "Oh."
oh?
oh?
Lin Zhenzhen frowned. "Oh, what do you mean?"
Looking at the words "The other party is typing" repeatedly displayed on Yu Jiamu's end.
She lost her patience.
Whatever, I'm going to watch my funny videos.
An hour later, Yu Jiamu still hadn't managed to fart.
Lin Zhenzhen changed into her pajamas and lay down on the bed.
The video was dialed back.
"Are you done washing?"
Lin Zhenzhen nodded.
Yu Jiamu smiled and said, "I'm done washing too."
So, what's the connection between these two?
Lin Zhenzhen stared at him with wide, bewildered eyes.
Yu Jiamu coughed lightly twice.
"You did a great job today."
Lin Zhenzhen paused, lowered her eyes, and typed: [Why did you lie?]
Since Yu Jiamu chose to hide the truth from him, he should have thought of how to explain everything.
Lin Zhenzhen was looking forward to his answer.
"Do you really want to know?"
Yu Jiamu's emotions were deeply hidden; all that was revealed was a forced, relaxed smile.
Lin Zhenzhen nodded.
Yu Jiamu's smile faded slightly.
"Zhenzhen, there aren't that many good people in the world."
"Your eyes are so pure that everyone you see is just as pure as you."
"But some people, who are themselves mired in the mire and filthy, are only thinking about how to make others dirtier than themselves."
Lin Zhenzhen looked at him quietly, her brows slightly furrowed, but she listened very attentively.
"That night, actually you..."
Yu Jiamu's throat tightened; he really didn't want to continue.
"Do you get me?"
Lin Zhenzhen lowered her eyes, seemingly deep in thought.
[Are you talking about Chen Tiantian?]
“I’m not referring to just her alone.”
[And Aunt Wen, Yu Jiaheng, right?]
Yu Jiamu's expression froze for a moment.
[I'm not stupid; I can sense other people's emotions and know they don't like me.]
I know you're good to me, so I trust you and will do as you say...
But do you believe me?
Yu Jiamu's handsome brows furrowed as he read her words.
"Of course I believe you."
[But you didn't consult me before doing these things, and you've been avoiding my questions afterward.]
[You refuse to communicate with me as an equal because you simply don't believe I have the ability to face and solve problems.]
"No, it's not that." Yu Jiamu grabbed his phone from the table in a flustered manner. "It's just because..."
A loud bang.
This startled Lin Zhenzhen.
The sound was coming from outside the house, and it sounded like something heavy was hitting the ground.
Then, bursts of wails drifted in through the cracks in the balcony window.
It looked especially terrifying and eerie in the pitch-black night.
Yu Jiamu heard it too, and clearly knew what it meant.
He said sternly, "Lock the door and don't go out."
Lin Zhenzhen's eyes widened, and she was about to nod.
My phone suddenly went black.
The power is out.
