Li Xi waited anxiously inside the house, her eyes searching everywhere for a way to escape.
The sounds outside were too faint for her to hear clearly. She didn't know who was coming, and she didn't dare gamble that if she made a sound, someone would insist on coming to check.
As the knocking sounded, a voice she couldn't believe was heard.
“Xiao Xi…”
Li Xi was stunned and dared not make a sound. How could Jing Xuan have come? How did he find this place?
Fu Tingshen agreed to let him speak with Li Xi, but wouldn't let him see anyone else.
She lowered her hand, her head bowed, and said, "I know you're inside, I know everything, but I still want to hear what you have to say."
Why did you lie to me?
"All that talk about liking me, loving me, being innocent and kind is fake, right?"
Li Xi shook her head frantically, tears welling in her eyes: "No, Jingxuan, I really love you. I admit that I approached you with an ulterior motive at first, but as we got to know each other better, I was captivated by your personal charm, and I fell completely in love with you."
I apologize for what I did before, but please don't doubt my love for you.
Lu Jingxuan looked pained and clutched his head, growling, "Then why didn't you get a divorce before coming back to me? I'm just a bastard who's having an affair with a married woman."
Li Xi couldn't answer the question and could only cry.
"No, you're not... I'm sorry..."
Fu Tingshen, having had his fill of admiration, smiled and said, "Because she doesn't want to. She needs to make sure you truly love her to the point of obsession before she can abandon me, her husband who has shared so much hardship."
Otherwise, if you don't hold on firmly on your side, and I let go on my side, wouldn't I end up losing everything?
Then he shouted inside, "Xiaoxi, tell him, will you divorce me?"
Li Xi's angry curses echoed from inside: "Fu Tingshen, you know perfectly well I can't say it, you bastard."
Lu Jingxuan gave a bitter smile, unable to explain why, but simply unwilling.
He closed his eyes, and once he was done, he could let go. When he opened his eyes again, he turned and left.
"You're leaving? Goodbye."
Li Xi, disregarding her own sadness, cried out, "Jingxuan, Jingxuan, I know I shouldn't have lied to you, but could you please help me for the sake of how happy we are together? I'm tied up by Fu Tingshen, please, help me."
Lu Jingxuan paused in his tracks.
Fu Tingshen's smile vanished, and he secretly gripped the stick behind his back.
"It's best if you don't interfere in our marital affairs."
Lu Jingxuan said coldly, "I don't have that kind of free time."
Finally, he said to Li Xi, "I won't get involved in your romantic escapades as a couple. Goodbye forever."
Li Xi's cries were left behind.
Lu Jingxuan went downstairs to his bicycle, tilted his head slightly, and forced back the tears in his eyes.
He doesn't need tears.
Li Xi's hair fell loose in front, hiding her tear-streaked face behind it.
Fu Tingshen came in and said, "Tsk tsk tsk, look how badly you cried. From now on, you can live in this room."
"Bang." The sound of a key turning signaled that the door was locked.
Li Xi was immersed in her pain. She cried, partly because she was locked up, but more so because she had lost the love of her life.
...
After Lu Chen secured his goods, his and Chen Binlong's shopping mall flourished, leaving no chance for anyone else.
And as its business grew, it began to venture into real estate, at Ye Zhiyu's urging, whether intentional or not.
Lu Ze started by designing blueprints for other factories. After making some preparations, he opened his own factory and established his own brand.
Three years have passed since spring turned to autumn.
Ye Zhiyu finally found out she was pregnant just before graduation.
And the morning sickness was severe.
"vomit…"
Lu Chen was holding a bowl of soy milk. He had just fed Ye Zhiyu a sip when she spat it all out.
He hurriedly placed the soy milk on the table, helped Ye Zhiyu, who was lying on the edge of the bed, and gently patted her back.
Three years have passed, and he exudes an even more domineering aura. Approaching 30, and having spent years dealing with the business world, he is more mature and composed than before.
At this moment, he supported Ye Zhiyu with a look of heartache, demonstrating what it means to be a tough guy with a tender heart.
After vomiting, Ye Zhiyu's stomach clenched, and she leaned wearily against the pillow behind her, her forehead covered in a fine layer of sweat.
"Ayu, perhaps..."
The unfinished words disappeared in Ye Zhiyu's warning gaze.
Ye Zhiyu protected her stomach, "Lu Chen, don't you dare lay a finger on her. I finally got pregnant, I want to keep her."
Lu Chen opened his mouth, staring resentfully at her stomach.
She was secretly annoyed, wondering how she could have gotten pregnant. She should have thought of a way to make herself infertile.
In fact, Ye Zhiyu was somewhat surprised when she learned that she was pregnant, after all, it was very difficult for her to leave a life in this small world.
I don't know whether to say Lu Chen is amazing or she's just lucky.
As for morning sickness, she had tried everything she could think of. She even gave Tao Qingtang the honey to drink, which she also drank, but what worked for others did nothing for her.
Even so, she still wanted to keep the child; it was her and Lu Chen's child.
It's a flat belly, but there's already a little life inside. It's amazing.
When he looked up, Lu Chen still had that mournful expression, his brows furrowed.
"Okay, I'm fine. Maybe I'll be better after a while."
Lu Chen reluctantly let out a breath, placed his large hand on her stomach, and gently tapped it: "You have to be good, Mommy is feeling very uncomfortable right now."
Ye Zhiyu chuckled: "Your belly isn't even big yet, how could you possibly hear anything?"
"I don't care, she's disobedient. I'll beat her after she's born."
Upon hearing this, Ye Zhiyu patted him and said, "What are you saying? Aren't you afraid that the child won't be close to you?"
"If you don't want to kiss me, then I don't want to kiss you. I only want you."
Lu Chen pulled the person into his arms, his arms loose and gently swaying, coaxing them.
Tian Hongfang originally intended to come and serve them, since she had two sons; she couldn't serve the eldest son's son alone, nor could she serve the second son's son.
Lu Chen rejected her. He and his wife were used to being together, and now that A Yu was pregnant, her temper was a bit bad. Rushing into their lives might backfire.
He was happy to do everything himself. In all the years of their marriage, except when he was away on business trips, he always took good care of Ye Zhiyu.
"What do you want to eat? You can't refuse, you've become so thin."
Ye Zhiyu glanced at him sideways: "What? You think I'm ugly?"
Lu Chen said helplessly, "Baby, don't misunderstand me. You know I'm just worried about you."
Ye Zhiyu squirmed in his arms, "I don't care, I don't care, I just want to talk."
"Okay, okay, go ahead, I'm listening."
Ye Zhiyu suddenly rolled over and lay on top of him, startling Lu Chen, who quickly protected her.
"Ancestor, slow down."
Ye Zhiyu pouted: "I just want to hear your heartbeat."
As she spoke, she pressed her ear against his chest, the steady, powerful heartbeat entering her ear and bringing her peace of mind.
"Lu Chen, say you love me."
