When the tram arrived at the stop outside Tianshui Hutong, Chen Lin helped Lu Huaijiao off the tram.
They walked quite slowly when they got off the bus, but when they got to the door, for some reason, the people behind them suddenly pushed forward.
"careful."
Chen Lin reacted quickly, catching Lu Huaijiao who had already stepped onto the road and nimbly helping her onto the street.
She turned around and, through the closed tram doors, saw the woman walking toward Zhao Rui.
That shoving was done by that woman.
The woman seemed to notice Chen Lin's gaze. She looked up at Chen Lin, a smile appearing on her wrinkled face, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly.
This is a blatant provocation.
Chen Lin grasped Lu Huaijiao's arm with one hand, while gently clenching her other hand into a fist.
The woman's provocation, very well, she took it.
When Lu Huaijiao almost tripped, she was extremely nervous and scared. Her hands instinctively went to protect her stomach.
Fortunately, Chen Lin caught her, and her feet landed steadily on the ground.
Only when her feet were firmly planted on solid ground did Lu Huaijiao feel a sense of reality.
But I'm still shaken, my heart is beating much faster, and it's still pounding nonstop.
"Huaijiao, how are you? Is anything bothering you?" Chen Lin looked away and asked Lu Huaijiao anxiously.
Lu Huaijiao shook her head.
"I'm fine, Sister Lin."
Her face was still a little pale, and it was obvious that she had been really frightened.
Seeing this, Chen Lin couldn't help but curse the woman in her heart, thinking how she deserved to die for actually harming a pregnant woman like Huai Jiao.
Compared to Chen Lin's indignation, Lu Huaijiao also fell into deep thought.
She was pushed forward just now because someone deliberately pushed her. She saw the outstretched hand, but her stomach was too heavy, and she didn't react in time.
At other times, she could avoid it.
Is that old woman one of Lu Zhengde's people?
Although it's still unknown whether Qin Yanhua or Zhao Rui instigated the woman to push her, she knows that whoever it was, they are all connected to Lu Zhengde.
This debt should be settled with Lu Zhengde.
Lu Huaijiao kept the account in mind and walked slowly home with Chen Lin.
When Gu Changzheng returned in the evening, Chen Lin first told him about what had happened during the day in the yard, and then apologized.
Gu Changzheng frowned, naturally not wanting to blame Chen Lin too much.
"It's alright, Comrade Chen, you go back and rest first. I'll go inside and check on Jiaojiao."
Gu Changzheng arranged three bodyguards for his family: one to protect Lu Huaijiao and two to protect Sanbao and the others. Since all three bodyguards were from out of town, Gu Changzheng arranged dormitories for them.
The dormitory was in Tianshui Hutong, in a courtyard diagonally opposite their house.
He bought that courtyard to use as a place for his bodyguards to live; it was perfect in terms of distance, location, and everything else.
Chen Lin agreed and slowly left the Gu family's courtyard.
Gu Changzheng returned to the house.
Lu Huaijiao had just taken a shower and was drying her hair in the small study outside the bedroom when she heard the door open and looked up.
"Have you got a meal yet?"
Seeing the tall man approaching, Lu Huaijiao asked a question.
"Um."
Gu Changzheng walked over and, without saying a word, reached out and hugged her: "Wife, you scared me."
Lu Huaijiao nestled obediently in the man's arms, listening to his words, and knew that he was talking about what happened when they got off the tram earlier that day.
She nuzzled her head against his palm.
"It's not my fault. That old lady went too far. Who knew she would target a pregnant woman?"
Given Lu Huaijiao's personality, she really won't take the blame unless it's her fault, not even in a token way.
Gu Changzheng hummed in agreement.
"It's their fault."
He hugged the person in his arms to calm his troubled heart before letting go and taking the towel from Lu Huaijiao's hand to gently dry her hair.
"This won't end like this. Your husband will avenge you."
"Yes, teach them a lesson they won't forget."
Lu Huaijiao didn't hesitate to fan the flames from the sidelines.
Gu Changzheng smiled and pinched the tip of her nose: "Okay, leave it to your husband."
"Um."
The couple talked for a while, forehead to forehead. Soon after, Lu Huaijiao's hair was dried, and Gu Changzheng told her to go back to her room to sleep while he went out.
Lu Huaijiao squeezed his hand.
"Be careful, when you're putting a sack over someone's head, don't let them recognize you."
Seeing the little girl's earnest instructions, Gu Changzheng couldn't help but chuckle. He gently pinched her fair, rosy cheeks, which were still glowing from her bath.
"Whose little rascal is this? When she found out her husband was going to do something bad, instead of trying to dissuade him, she even advised me to be more careful, huh?"
"Then why should I advise you? Aren't you just going to stand up for me?"
Lu Huaijiao lay on her side in bed, covered with a thin blanket that was pulled up high, covering her neck and only revealing her pointed chin and her fair, delicate cheeks.
Her beautiful eyes, soft yet bright, gazed intently at the man sitting by the bed.
Her smooth black hair fell loosely on both sides of the pillow, creating a striking contrast with her radiant white skin under the light.
One in black, one in white, both exquisitely beautiful.
Gu Changzheng's throat bobbed; she had easily captivated him. He reached out and took her hand, then leaned down and kissed her red lips.
He said in a hoarse voice, "Wife, after this baby is born, regardless of whether it's a boy or a girl, let's not have any more children, okay?"
Before Lu Huaijiao could answer, Gu Changzheng continued, "Life as a monk is really too hard, wife. Does your husband not want to spend a large part of his already short life as a monk?"
Lu Huaijiao: ...
His description is hilarious. Is there really such a thing as a monk like him?
However, she didn't refuse immediately. Of course, she was unwilling to admit that she was finding it increasingly difficult to refuse Gu Changzheng.
She pouted her red lips and whined, "Then you should pray that the two babies in your belly are girls! Otherwise, I'll still have to give birth."
"young married woman……"
When Gu Changzheng heard that his wife was going to give birth again, he couldn't help but feel aggrieved.
Lu Huaijiao glanced at him disdainfully: "Hurry up and get to work." If she dawdled any longer, not only would the man not want to leave, but she was also afraid that she would give in to him.
Gu Changzheng bent down and kissed her forehead again before leaving home.
After he left, he gently closed the door.
Lu Huaijiao heard Gu Changzheng talking to Gu Jianhua in the courtyard, but she didn't know what they were saying; she could only vaguely hear their voices.
Not long after, the sound of the courtyard gate opening was heard.
Once Lu Huaijiao was sure the person had left, she closed her eyes and tried to drift off to sleep.
