Liu Hong disappeared from Zhang Wenxiu's life, which made her feel much more at ease. She also often went out to meet with Sun Fei, and their feelings for each other gradually deepened.
Everything seemed to be going smoothly, and Zhang Wenxiu's mood improved considerably. She even gave Wuyou two smiles, which was rare for her. If it were the old Li Wuyou, he would probably be overjoyed, since Zhang Wenxiu had always been indifferent to him. A beautiful woman's smile is already extremely beautiful, let alone the one she loves.
Wuyou remained completely unmoved by this. Putting aside the fact that she suffers from emotional deficiency, even if her sexual orientation is normal, it's impossible for her to like the same sex.
Time seemed to have returned to the way it was before Wuyou was hospitalized, and Zhang Wenxiu felt much more at ease. However, one morning, when she stood in front of the dressing mirror and put on the long dress she had worn a week earlier, the tight feel of it made her face turn dark.
She was petite, and now her belly was growing bigger, but her limbs remained slender. Instead, her bulging belly added a touch of maternal glow, making her look gentle and beautiful.
But upon closer inspection, she realized that she had gained a lot of weight. Because she was not tall, she looked even more bloated, not much different from the pregnant women outside. This discovery made her feel terrible.
Normally she would exercise to lose weight, but now that she's pregnant, it's impossible for her. After all, the baby is more important. But looking at her bloated figure, she finds it unbearable.
Zhang Wenxiu threw the dress in her hand to the ground and even stomped on it a couple of times in anger. Feeling depressed, she didn't want to go out anymore. How could she face Sun Fei looking like this?
She wasn't stupid; she didn't think that being pregnant would solve everything. Sun Fei was attracted to her looks, but if he saw her bloated and unattractive, he probably wouldn't be interested in her anymore. That would mean cutting off her source of income and losing her sugar daddy. She would absolutely not do something that would destroy her own foundation.
It seems I can't see him again until I've regained my figure. Zhang Wenxiu thought to herself, then comforted herself that distance makes the heart grow fonder. Anyway, she only has five months until she gives birth, and a short separation might make the heart grow fonder, which could have unexpected effects.
If that doesn't work, try dieting to lose weight. With proper control, it should be fine.
"Honey, I'm home. I'll make you some pork rib soup today." Just then, the door opened, and Wuyou walked in carrying a bag of pork ribs, her face beaming.
Zhang Wenxiu subconsciously swallowed. She had to admit, Wuyou's cooking was truly excellent; every dish looked incredibly appetizing. She instantly forgot her previous plans.
The only thing that puzzled people was that Li Wuyou's cooking skills were good before, but not this good. Later, when asked, it was found out that he had learned to cook specifically to make the pregnant woman comfortable. Zhang Wenxiu did not have any doubts.
"Let me make you a cup of milk first, you can drink it first." Wuyou changed out of her slippers, poured Zhang Wenxiu a cup of milk, and went into the kitchen to busy herself.
The television in front of him was playing a currently popular romance drama, and a faint aroma of meat wafted from the kitchen. Zhang Wuyou drank a glass of milk with satisfaction, squinted his eyes, and felt a little drowsy. In a daze, he even felt that such days were indeed wonderful, with a sense of peace and tranquility.
This thought was quickly forgotten. She longed for the luxurious and refined life of a noblewoman, not to be an ordinary woman dealing with the mundane details of daily life in this small two-bedroom apartment.
She had already gone this far, and there was no turning back. Once that old woman was gone, she could rightfully enter the Sun family and become a lady of high society.
"By the way... how can I get rid of that old woman? I need to think of a way." In her drowsy state, this thought flashed through Zhang Wenxiu's mind, like a tiny seed planted deep within her heart, destined to take root, sprout, and grow into a towering tree, unchangeable, with the passage of time.
When Wuyou brought out the ribs, she saw the woman lying on the sofa, fast asleep. She raised an eyebrow and placed the food on the table without making a sound.
Her footsteps were so light they were almost inaudible. She stood in front of the sofa, her gaze fixed on the woman on the bed. The woman, oblivious, remained fast asleep.
Wuyou looked at Zhang Wenxiu's increasingly round face and chubby double chin, and smiled with satisfaction. She quietly returned to the kitchen to continue cooking. This was just a small episode in their lives, unknown to anyone but themselves.
When she went to work in the afternoon, Wuyou went to the post office herself. The thin, light package was mailed to a villa in Jinyang City.
Liu Peilan was a fortunate woman, born into wealth, doted on by her parents and spoiled by her elder brother and sister-in-law. Her family was powerful and influential, with connections in both the legitimate and criminal worlds. She was a pampered young lady who grew up with a silver spoon in her mouth. The only slightly outrageous thing she did in her life was to take a liking to Sun Fei, who came from a poor background. Supporting a poor boy was not a difficult task for her family at all.
Although his family didn't approve of Sun Fei's marriage, Liu Peilan was fond of him. Not long after their marriage, they had a daughter, Sun Peipei. The couple had a harmonious relationship, and their daughter was quite filial. They spent their days shopping, playing cards, and living the life of an ordinary wealthy woman.
Although the couple's feelings are not as intense as they were when they were young, they have now transformed into a mellow and strong liquor, and they treat each other with the utmost respect.
Liu Peilan is not a very meticulous woman. She is always careless and does not pay attention to some details. She thinks she knows her husband very well, but in reality, she only knows the illusion he gives her.
That day, Liu Peilan had just returned from shopping and was feeling a bit tired. She sat in the garden, drinking tea and resting. The warm sunlight shone on her, making her feel warm and comfortable.
"Madam, there's a letter for you." The butler, dressed in a suit, respectfully handed the envelope to Liu Peilan and turned to leave. Although nominally the butler of the Sun family, he was actually sent by Liu Peilan's maternal family, since the butler's only loyalty was to Liu Peilan.
"In this day and age, who would still bother with this kind of mail delivery?" Liu Peilan casually folded the envelope but showed no intention of opening it. She tossed the envelope onto the table and continued to close her eyes to rest.
We live in an information society now, and there are many ways to contact people. Sending letters is outdated, and she has no interest in playing such tricks with others.
"Mom, I'm home..." Sun Peipei is a sophomore in college. She looks like her mother, bright and generous, and has an exceptionally cheerful personality. As soon as she got home, she started chattering and making a ruckus.
"You little rascal, sit down and rest for a while!" Liu Peilan was very happy to see her daughter. The mother and daughter sat together, chatting and laughing. They looked more like sisters than mother and daughter.
As for the letter, it had long been forgotten and was later collected by a servant, disappearing without a trace.
This was something Wuyou hadn't expected, but fortunately, he hadn't only kept this one trick up his sleeve.
