Chapter 660: Coaxed?
After listening to what Shen Zheng said at noon, Lu Dai was in a good mood. She had more energy than usual to work in the afternoon and her efficiency was extremely high.
Before leaving, Chen Zheng said that he would wait for her to come home for dinner in the evening. Lu Dai kept this in mind, so she did not work overtime. After finishing the work at hand, she packed up and went home. When she got home, Chen Zheng was sitting on the sofa holding his mobile phone, concentrating on what he was looking at. She didn't know what he was looking at, and he didn't even hear her come in.
Lu Dai changed into slippers, walked in front of Shen Zheng, raised her hand and waved it in front of his eyes a few times, and Shen Zheng came back to his senses.
He immediately locked his phone, threw it aside, and looked up at her: "You're back."
Lu Dai glanced at the phone he had thrown aside and asked, "What are you looking at? Why are you so engrossed?"
Shen Zheng: "Some work information."
Lu Dai didn't doubt him: "Do you still have work to do? Why don't you go to the study and get busy?"
Shen Zheng shook his head, "I've seen enough. We'll have a meeting tomorrow to deal with it."
As he spoke, he took her hand and asked her to sit next to him. Lu Dai did not refuse. After sitting down, she leaned back on the sofa and chatted with him casually: "When is dinner?"
Shen Zheng: "It should be soon, Auntie has been busy for almost half an hour."
Lu Dai: "What time did you come back?"
Shen Zheng: "Maybe before five o'clock."
Lu Dai: "You skipped work?"
Shen Zheng: "It's nothing difficult. You can just come back and look at the documents."
He glanced at Lu Dai and said seriously, "The company's situation has basically stabilized now. During your pregnancy preparations and pregnancy, I will stay with you as much as possible, and I will not travel or socialize."
Lu Dai laughed out loud when she heard his promise. She raised her hand and patted Shen Zheng's face. "I know you are responsible, but you don't have to be so exaggerated. You should work hard when you need to."
Shen Zheng took her hand and thought of the topic they talked about at noon: "Do you really want to do IVF?"
Lu Dai: "Once I make a decision, I will not change my mind. You don't need to persuade me."
Shen Zheng sighed: "I'll go with you to see the doctor this weekend."
The two sat on the sofa and chatted for a while. Dinner was already prepared in the kitchen. Lu Dai and Shen Zheng walked in. As soon as they sat down, they received a WeChat message from Zhong Qian.
Zhong Qian asked her out for the weekend, but Lu Dai refused for the first time ever, explaining, "I have to go to the hospital this weekend, so I don't think it will be possible."
Zhong Qian: [Why are you going to the hospital again? What's wrong with you?]
Lu Dai: [Go ask about the test tube.]
Zhong Qian: [???]
Zhong Qian: [Didn’t you say that Shen Zheng is fine?]
Lu Dai: [I want to have two children at once, but I don't have the genes, so IVF is the only option.]
Zhong Qian: [That’s too much suffering, isn’t it?]
Lu Dai: [It's better than giving birth twice, at least it's more efficient.]
Zhong Qian: [My dear sister, this is childbirth, not business! Did Shen Zheng agree?]
Lu Dai: [I have the final say on this matter.]
Zhong Qian: [Have you really thought it through?]
Lu Dai: [Don't worry, don't you understand my physical condition?]
Zhong Qian: [So you plan to divorce Chen Zheng after giving birth? ]
Seeing Zhong Qian ask this, Lu Dai raised her eyes and glanced at Chen Zheng opposite her - she had not had time to share what happened at noon with Zhong Qian.
So, Lu Dai said succinctly: [Chen Zheng confessed his love to me at noon.]
Zhong Qian: [What?!]
Lu Dai: [Let’s talk in person when we’re free. I’m going to eat first.]
Zhong Qian: [I'll go to your company to see you tomorrow! ]
As soon as Lu Dai put down her phone, Chen Zheng picked up a piece of beef from her serving chopsticks and put it on her plate. He often did these things, so Lu Dai was used to it and blurted out "thank you".
Although their way of getting along seems to be no different from usual, their mentality has changed a lot.
At night, Chen Zheng returned to the master bedroom to sleep. The two of them lay on the same bed, tacitly understanding each other, and no one mentioned their recent separation.
As soon as the lights were turned off, Lu Dai closed her eyes out of sleep. Shen Zheng said a few words to her in the dark, but all he got was a confused response. Finally, he stopped disturbing her, turned over, and closed his eyes quietly.
——
The next morning, not long after Lu Dai arrived at the company, Zhong Qian rushed over and pulled Lu Dai aside to ask her about the "confession" incident she mentioned yesterday.
Zhong Qian is a typical person who helps her relatives but not others. She saw that Lu Dai helped Shen Zheng so much and gave so much, but Shen Zheng was always thinking about others, so she disliked him very much.
Of course, Zhong Qian knew very well that Lu Dai had done this voluntarily. She was reluctant to blame Lu Dai, so she could only blame Shen Zheng.
There has to be a punching bag.
Lu Dai asked her assistant to bring two cups of latte, and sat down at the meeting table with Zhong Qian. She methodically recounted the conversation that had taken place yesterday afternoon to her.
Zhong Qian held the mug, narrowed her eyes slightly, and summarized Lu Dai's words: "What he meant was that he was interested in you after getting married, but was afraid that he wouldn't give enough, so he simply didn't tell you?"
Lu Dai nodded: "About the same."
Zhong Qian: "Why do I feel that this is a bit far-fetched?"
Lu Dai: "That's not the case. He doesn't bother to lie to me."
Zhong Qian: "So you were coaxed into it?"
Lu Dai laughed: "I wasn't angry with him in the first place."
She just felt that there had to be a result between her and Shen Zheng as soon as possible, so she thought about getting a divorce after having the child. After the divorce, she would definitely not marry anyone else. This could not be considered as throwing a tantrum, but just a decision made after weighing the pros and cons.
But now that Shen Zheng has responded to her, the conflict has been resolved, so naturally there is no need to consider divorce.
Seeing Lu Dai like this, Zhong Qian felt angry at her for not fighting back, but she also knew very well that Lu Dai would not be so useless that she would lose her mind just by being coaxed.
So, she could only say: "Then just wait and see how he performs."
Lu Dai: "Yeah, that's what I thought. We really have a tacit understanding."
Zhong Qian sighed, "What a pity, if I had known about Liang Sibo, I would have kept him to myself to hook up with."
Lu Dai: "It's not too late for you to hook up now."
She picked up the phone and raised her eyebrows: "Shall I call someone over for you?"
"No, no, no, I'll find someone myself later." Zhong Qian held her hand.
——
A week of work is over in the blink of an eye.
This week can be regarded as the most harmonious week since Lu Dai and Shen Zheng got married. They go to work together every day, eat together when they get home from get off work, and sleep in the same bed at night. There is no sarcasm or confrontation.
Early Saturday morning, after having breakfast together, the two went out to the hospital to see the doctor.
Lu Dai had already told the doctor about her intentions before coming, so as soon as they met, the doctor told her some information about the surgery and some of the interests involved.
The biggest problem is the ovulation-stimulating injection and egg retrieval, which is notoriously painful. If it fails once, you will have to endure several rounds of pain.
Shen Zheng's brows furrowed tightly as he listened to the doctor's description.
But Lu Dai herself didn't react at all. She said calmly, "I'm fine."
