Chapter 374 Planning to Take Action
Lu Chenran didn't breathe a sigh of relief until Lu Yichen and Zhong Nianyao left. After thinking about it, he turned around and looked at Zhong Mengxuan. "I probably won't go to the villa for a while. If you feel lonely, just go back to your own home and stay for a few days!"
Zhong Mengxuan's expression changed immediately. She reached out and grabbed Lu Chenran's sleeve, hesitatingly saying, "Chenran, why did you suddenly make such a decision? Is it because just now—"
She wasn't stupid, so she could tell that Lu Chenran had made this decision because of what Lu Yichen had just said. She hated Lu Yichen and Zhong Nianyao to death. If she hadn't met them, Lu Chenran wouldn't have made this decision.
That's right, Long Jiarui is pregnant now. But it's precisely because of Long Jiarui's pregnancy that she can't let go of Lu Chenran!
Long Jiarui is Lu Chenran’s legal wife. After giving birth to a child, her status in the Lu family will definitely be greatly improved.
She was already at a disadvantage. If she didn't take advantage of this period to hold onto Lu Chenran and find a way to get pregnant, what status would she have in the future? Of course, what she wanted most was to make Long Jiarui have an abortion. However, this was too difficult, and she hadn't found an opportunity yet.
Now, after Lu Yichen's commotion, her chances of even meeting Lu Chenran are reduced. So what chance does she have left?
"If you want to talk, talk nicely. Don't touch me in public." Lu Chenran quickly pulled Zhong Mengxuan's hand away and said, "If someone really takes pictures of us again, it will cause another uproar."
Zhong Mengxuan looked at Lu Chenran with a sad face, and even when she spoke, she was crying, "Chenran, are you already disgusted with me?"
Seeing Zhong Mengxuan's sad look, Lu Chenran felt a little distressed, but since he had just been warned, he didn't dare to have any intimate actions with Zhong Mengxuan outside. He still stood there, but his tone was softer.
"Mengxuan, you know, that's not what I meant. I just think it would be better for us to keep a low profile for now. Besides, what Third Uncle said is right. Now that Long Jiarui is pregnant, I have to consider her feelings!"
"But..." Zhong Mengxuan was full of grievances, "Don't you need to consider my feelings? Long Jiarui already has a status and is protected by all of you, but I only have you."
As she spoke, Zhong Mengxuan looked up at Lu Chenran, her eyes full of dependence.
Lu Chenran was indeed somewhat touched, but thinking about Lu Yichen's warning, he could only speak in the end, "Mengxuan, aren't you the most sensible one? The current situation is simply incomparable. As for the Long family, I can't let things get too ugly!"
These words left Zhong Mengxuan speechless. In the end, she could only nod helplessly.
"Well, I won't be with you during this time, so you have to take good care of yourself! If you lose weight by then, I won't be happy, understand?"
At this point, she knew she couldn't confront him directly. Otherwise, she would be despised by Lu Chenran. She was now on the verge of a falling out with the Zhong family, and her only support was Lu Chenran. No matter what, she had to hold on to Lu Chenran to continue living this life.
Moreover, she also understood very well what kind of words should be said to arouse the man's sympathy at this time.
"I understand." Lu Chenran reached out and pinched Zhong Mengxuan's nose, then said, "I will take good care of myself. You should take good care of yourself too. Wait a minute, I'll transfer five million to your account. I can't accompany you these few days, so go shopping and buy whatever you like!"
Zhong Mengxuan's eyes gleamed, but her face was filled with grievance. "Compared to the money, I hope you can stay by my side even more. As long as I can see you every day, I'm willing to eat coarse food."
Lu Chenran was very touched. "Since it's for you, then spend it well. I just like my woman to spend my money."
Zhong Mengxuan said nothing, but when she looked at Lu Chenran, her eyes were full of admiration and dependence.
Such a look greatly satisfied Lu Chenran's inner vanity and also made him have a deeper desire to protect Zhong Mengxuan.
However, where Lu Chenran couldn't see, Zhong Mengxuan's eyes flashed with cold hatred, which was directed at Zhong Nian Yao.
On the other side, Zhong Nianyao didn't care much about Zhong Mengxuan's thoughts, but she was a little surprised that Lu Yichen would say such a thing.
"You actually meddle in Lu Chenran's affairs." Zhong Nianyao was a little surprised. "I didn't expect that you still have such a little uncle-nephew relationship with him!"
"I don't care what he wants to do," Lu Yichen said calmly, "but Zhong Mengxuan, who is beside him, seems to be quite hostile to you!"
"Huh?" Zhong Nianyao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "So you're doing this for me! Actually, there's no need to be like this. I don't even take Zhong Mengxuan seriously."
"But it's annoying to have flies like this flying around, isn't it?" Lu Yichen looked at Zhong Nianyao, raised his eyebrows, and said, "This can also be regarded as a warning to Zhong Mengxuan."
"After this incident, she probably hates me even more." Zhong Nianyao shook her head with amusement, "Okay! In fact, even if this incident hadn't happened, she would still hate me to the core."
She also felt that she was really innocent! She felt that she had never taken the initiative to provoke Zhong Mengxuan, but Zhong Mengxuan always regarded her as an enemy. She didn't know if there was something wrong with her brain.
"She should tone it down a bit," Lu Yichen said. "She's Lu Chenran's lover, but she's too high-profile. This could easily cause dissatisfaction from Lu Chenran's mother and the Long family."
A hint of understanding flashed across Zhong Nianyao's eyes, "It seems someone is planning to attack her!"
"Lu Chenran's mother is already planning to take action." Lu Yichen continued, "However, she won't touch Zhong Mengxuan. Such a method is too low-level, and she doesn't even bother to use it."
Zhong Nianyao blinked, "It seems that Zhong Mengxuan is in trouble now."
Not touching Zhong Mengxuan doesn't mean she'll have an easy time. It's precisely because she's not being touched that the methods used will only become more ruthless. This time, Zhong Mengxuan has shot herself in the foot.
