Chapter 651: Don't Forget Your Mission
Shen Zheng could hear the sarcasm in Lu Dai's words. She was saying that everything he was doing was acting. Shen Zheng wanted to explain, but found that he could not find any reason at all. He could not say that he fell in love with her and was willing to do this.
It’s hard to say what will happen in the future, but right now, he doesn’t think that his attitude towards Lu Dai can be called “love”.
Chen Zheng did not refute, and Lu Dai would not chase him to mock him. The two of them arrived at the basement peacefully. Lu Dai got into Chen Zheng's car and sat in the passenger seat as usual.
After fastening her seat belt, Lu Dai took out a mirror from her bag and touched up her makeup. Chen Zheng waited until she finished applying lipstick before starting the car.
After finishing her makeup, Lu Dai said to Shen Zheng, "Don't show any flaws when you're at my parents' place."
Shen Zheng: “I know.”
Lu Dai: "Thank you for your hard work."
Shen Zheng: "...It's okay, it's what I should do."
When Lu Dai married Shen Zheng, Lu Boyuan and He Xuan were both opposed to it. Shen Zheng was entangled with Shen Xun's wife, and it was said that they were each other's first love. Lu Dai had a lot of good men to choose from, but she chose the hottest one to propose marriage.
Lu Dai promised them that she would not let herself suffer any loss. She was already an adult and did not want her parents to worry too much about her marriage, so every time she went back with Chen Zheng, she would put on an act, at least to reassure the two elders.
The Lu family's old house is quite far from the company. If you get stuck in the evening rush hour, it will take more than an hour to get there.
After that brief conversation, the car fell into silence and the atmosphere was very cold.
Chen Zheng held it in for a long time, but couldn't hold it in any longer and started chatting with Lu Dai: "Is the company very busy recently?"
Lu Dai: "It's OK, about the same as usual."
Shen Zheng: "You come home very late every day and leave very early."
Lu Dai: "Because I don't really want to see you."
Shen Zheng didn't expect her to be so direct, and was choked on the spot: "..."
"You don't have to apologize to me," Lu Dai had already predicted his next behavior. "Marriage is my own choice, and I am happy to accept everything that is happening now."
Shen Zheng didn't know what to say in the first place, and Lu Dai's words blocked all his paths.
The two of them were completely speechless and remained silent all the way.
At 7:20, Shen Zheng's car stopped at the gate of the Lu family's old house.
Lu Dai unbuckled her seat belt and got out of the car. Shen Zheng followed closely behind her, walked around the car body and stood beside her, putting his arm around her waist.
This is the basic process every time I go back to the Lu family for dinner.
Lu Dai also tacitly took his other arm, and the two of them walked into the old house in this extremely loving posture.
Entering the living room, Lu Boyuan and He Xuan were sitting on the sofa chatting.
Seeing them coming, the couple stopped and their eyes fell on their intertwined arms at the same time.
"You're back," Lu Boyuan looked at Shen Zheng and nodded in greeting, "Sit down, Lu Mo will be back soon, and dinner will be almost ready."
Shen Zheng bowed slightly, called "Dad" and "Mom" respectively, then hugged Lu Dai and sat down. Every little action was done extremely well and he looked very careful.
Lu Boyuan and He Xuan looked at each other, and they understood each other's thoughts at a glance.
"How's your health lately?" He Xuan looked at Lu Dai and asked, "Your brother said you work overtime every day, don't get too tired."
"I don't work overtime every day. He's exaggerating." Lu Dai said with a smile, "I get home at eight o'clock at the latest every day. I sleep a lot. Look at my complexion, I don't look tired at all."
He Xuan: "You should pay more attention to that. There are many things in the company that you don't need to do yourself. Just leave it to others."
Lu Dai: "Okay, I understand."
He Xuan: "I recently met a Chinese medicine doctor. He happens to be free tomorrow. I'll have someone bring him to your place to take your and Shen Zheng's pulses."
Lu Dai and Shen Zheng frowned at the same time. Why was he taking their pulse? There was nothing wrong with either of them.
Under the two people's puzzled gazes, He Xuan slowly opened his mouth, "You have been married for more than half a year, and you are not young anymore. It's time to put the matter of having children on the agenda. It's always a good idea to take care of your body first."
Lu Dai understood.
The purpose of asking a Chinese doctor to take their pulse is to urge them to have a child.
In just half a month, this was the second time the topic of children was mentioned. Lu Dai glanced at Shen Zheng out of the corner of her eye and was not surprised to see the blood vessels gradually appearing on his forehead.
The topic of children was a taboo for him. Firstly, he didn't want to mention it, and secondly, he had never thought about having children with her.
Lu Dai had never thought about having children before. She still had some rigid ideas occasionally, thinking that children should be born under the premise of loving parents. But now, she suddenly felt that it didn’t matter whether the parents loved each other or not.
It was time for her and Shen Zheng to have a result. She gave herself two years. If it failed in the end, leaving a child would be a good option - she would probably only get married once in her life, but she must have a child. Instead of trying to have it in other ways later, it would be better to use the existing resources.
Apart from anything else, Chen Zheng's objective conditions are quite suitable for having children.
Lu Dai thought about it for a while and agreed to He Xuan's suggestion: "Then let the doctor take a look tomorrow. If there is nothing wrong with your body, we will make preparations."
Shen Zheng tightened his grip on Lu Dai's hand a little, with great force, and Lu Dai felt a pain in her palm.
She looked at Shen Zheng again, their eyes met, and she clearly saw reluctance in his eyes.
Lu Dai reminded him with her eyes: Don't forget your mission.
Shen Zheng understood Lu Dai's eyes, adjusted his breathing, smiled, and said to He Xuan: "Thank you, Mom. Lu Dai and I will wait for the doctor at home tomorrow."
"What do you think about the child?" Lu Boyuan had been observing Shen Zheng's reaction. His eyes were sharp and he could tell that Shen Zheng was not so enthusiastic about this matter.
To put it more directly, it is exclusion.
"I'll listen to Lu Dai." Shen Zheng glanced at Lu Dai. "She's the one who's having a hard time with the pregnancy. My opinion doesn't matter."
Tsk.
Listening to what Shen Zheng said, Lu Dai couldn't help but sigh in her heart that he was quite good at it and acted so sincerely. If she was more simple-minded, she would probably really believe it.
"You can't say that. After all, a child should be born under the expectations of his parents." Lu Boyuan's words were very skillful.
He outlined the key points, and Shen Zheng now had no room for ambiguity.
He fell silent, thought for a while, and then said, "Then I'm still looking forward to it."
Lu Boyuan: "Then let nature take its course. Take this time to adjust your bodies and your sleep schedule. If you are pregnant, give birth to the baby."
He Xuan: "Lu Dai will be 30 soon. It will be easier for her to have a child and recover faster now. In a year or two, it won't be so easy."
"Mom, that's not an exaggeration." Lu Dai looked at her helplessly, "I'm in great health, don't you know?"
Lu Dai herself didn't think it was that exaggerated, but Shen Zheng took her words to heart.
He had never thought about this problem before, but after this conversation, he finally realized it.
Lu Dai is already 28 years old this year. If she has a child in two years, all kinds of risks will increase.
