Jiang Ruan looked at Du Ning, who looked extremely haggard, his brows furrowed with exhaustion. When he saw that Jiang Ruan had woken up, he thoughtfully helped her up and handed her a glass of water.
"Ruan Ruan, it's my fault. I was so busy yesterday that I didn't have time to message you. I just finished dealing with things and came straight here without delay. I saw that you were sleeping soundly, so I didn't wake you up."
Du Ning is always like this; he always finds an excuse in advance for everything, and he does it flawlessly. Jiang Ruan used to feel sorry for his busy schedule and overlook many details.
For example, there was the faint scent of perfume on Du Ning, the fishy smell emanating from her body, and the noticeably different fabric of her clothes...
I used to ignore it because of trust, but now I notice it because of hatred.
Jiang Ruan looked at the man's flustered yet calm explanation and couldn't help but sneer inwardly, "It's okay, you go ahead and do what you need to do. I can take care of myself and the baby, so don't be too nervous."
It must have been because he lived a few more years in his previous life that he was able to maintain a near-original appearance; that is truly remarkable.
Seeing that Jiang Ruan still trusted him as before, Du Ning breathed a sigh of relief, but was still worried. "Ruan Ruan, you're really not angry, are you? Next time, I'll go with you to your prenatal checkup. I promise I'll cancel anything else."
"Honey, I'm not angry. My parents called yesterday and said a lot, asking me to be understanding. I also know I might be pregnant and I'm more sensitive, but it's really nothing."
"Besides, Mom and Dad said they're old and have nothing to do, and they don't have much to do at school, so they have plenty of time to take care of me. You just need to focus on your career."
Jiang Ruan's magnanimity made Du Ning's carefully crafted plan almost come to fruition, but he restrained himself, after all, there was no benefit in breaking this harmony now.
Besides, it's already quite commendable that her two old parents have this intention. Wouldn't it be better if she had more time to do something interesting?
Having figured this out, Du Ning ignored the strange look he had just seen on Jiang Ruan's face and was only happy about the plans to come.
"Ruan Ruan, you are so good. I am so grateful to God that I was able to marry you in this life."
Du Ning was standing very close, so close that Jiang Ruan could smell the alcohol odor on his breath, which was masked by air freshener. It was quite pungent.
"Huff..."
"Ruan Ruan, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell again? Didn't you stop having morning sickness a long time ago?"
Du Ning patted Jiang Ruan on the back, and the concern in his eyes made Jiang Ruan feel that it was a real pity that this person didn't go into acting.
Jiang Ruan gagged a few times, drank some water, and took a long breath before saying, "Perhaps I've been eating too much greasy food lately. I'll control myself in the future."
"Oh, okay, then eating less of it in the future is fine. I'll ask my mom if there's anything that can be substituted. It really isn't good to keep doing this. Also..."
"Ring ring..."
Du Ning left what she hadn't finished saying, quickly got up and ran to the balcony to answer the phone, deliberately blocking the door behind her, as if afraid others would find out.
But only his wife was there; there was no one else.
Jiang Ruan wasn't in the mood to listen; she wished he weren't around, since someone could supervise him and she wouldn't have to do it herself.
Besides, it's more convenient to do some things without him. After all, Jiang Ruan is no longer the person who only knew how to be obedient and compliant, hiding in a honey pot, and never doubting him.
A few minutes later, Du Ning rushed over in a panic and said anxiously, "Ruan Ruan, something bad has happened. The company's finance department made a mistake in the accounts, and they just happened to be caught by the tax bureau during an audit. I have to go there right away to check the situation, so I won't be able to take care of you."
"You can go to your parents' house first, or ask them to come over. Your husband can't take care of you anymore."
Then, without waiting for Jiang Ruan's response, he grabbed his things and ran to the door.
They seem to be in a real hurry.
But in reality, it was just to hurry up and see that pretentious, coquettish, and manipulative woman.
That's absolutely ridiculous.
Jiang Ruan looked at the closed door, not angry at all, because she knew it was completely unnecessary.
Sure enough, within two minutes, the detective sent a video to the group showing Du Ning hugging a glamorous woman as soon as he left the residential area, along with an audio recording. It was nothing more than him finally finding a good excuse to go out.
The group was created by An Xia, and she didn't leave it either, claiming it was to vent my anger and see the true face of this scumbag.
So, as soon as the detective posted the message, An Xia messaged, "Sister, if you ask me, your taste in men is really terrible. You just had to find such a jerk. Isn't that disgusting?"
Jiang Ruan gave a wry smile, found a regretful emoji on her phone and sent it, followed by a helpless emoji and a fierce emoji.
Anxia immediately sent a voice message, "It's okay, there are plenty of good men in the world, one more won't make a difference. If you have the chance, I'll find you someone better, someone more suitable for you."
Jiang Ruan was speechless at An Xia's antics. "If you still have your memory, you should know that I'm pregnant now. Where am I supposed to find someone? Who would want me? Besides, I don't need any of that. Just take good care of my child and my family."
"This is already my biggest dream."
An Xia didn't say anything more. In fact, she did want to say something because she knew that someone had been secretly in love with Jiang Ruan for a long time, so she wouldn't care whether Jiang Ruan had been married before, let alone that she was pregnant.
For that person, as long as the other party was Jiang Ruan, everything was acceptable.
Jiang Ruan didn't know this person; perhaps she had only heard of him but never paid him any attention.
That is Gu An, one of the most talented business tycoons in the entire country today. He topped the Forbes list at a young age and has never fallen off it. Rumor has it that he is aloof, unapproachable, and difficult to get along with.
However, countless beautiful women and even handsome men still want to get close to him.
It wasn't simply because of his wealth, but more so because of his appearance, which went beyond the limits of description in books, idioms, and so on. It's no exaggeration to say that he was the envy of both gods and men.
This was the kind of person who had held Jiang Ruan in his heart for many years. However, because Jiang Ruan had been in love with Du Ning for several years and insisted on marrying him, to the point that she would not marry anyone else, he hid his feelings in his heart in order to fulfill her wish.
Anxia knew this because she had once pursued him, but unfortunately, she was rejected.
But because he was Jiang Ruan's good friend, he was not treated coldly.
Anxia's head ached whenever she thought of Gu An. She had already let go of that person, but perhaps she couldn't let go of Jiang Ruan.
That's why he ran away abroad after finding out Jiang Ruan was pregnant and never came back.
But he still showed concern, after all, those free detectives were actually arranged by him.
