Things took a turn for the better more than two months later. Ever since she and Lu Yunshan consummated their marriage, Shen Jiaojiao had been paying attention to her body.
This month, her period was delayed for more than two weeks. Shen Jiaojiao was happy, she had a hunch that she should be pregnant.
So she immediately went to the bathroom for a check-up, and as she expected, the doctor told her that she was two months pregnant.
As soon as she got home, she told Lu Yunshan the news.
Upon hearing the news, Lu Yunshan’s first reaction was not happiness, but relief!
Shen Jiaojiao is pregnant, and he, Lu Yunshan, can finally be free.
He would never lie in bed with this woman again and do something he didn't want to do.
Lu Yunshan walked out. He wanted to tell his lover the news right away.
Shen Jiaojiao stopped him, looking puzzled. She always felt that Lu Yunshan's reaction was wrong. He shouldn't be so happy or excited to hug her after hearing the news of her pregnancy.
But Lu Yunshan's reaction was so indifferent, as if the pregnant woman was a woman who had nothing to do with him, not his wife, and the child she was carrying was not his.
Chen Jiaojiao didn't want to quarrel with him, so she smiled patiently: "Why, are you unhappy that I'm pregnant? This is our child, and you're going to be a father."
As she spoke, she hugged Lu Yunshan and said in a gentle voice, "Let's live in harmony from now on. Can't I stop quarreling with you? You have to be kinder to me and the child in the future."
While Shen Jiaojiao was still immersed in the joy of pregnancy, Lu Yunshan's body stiffened the moment she touched him.
He patted Shen Jiaojiao's body uncomfortably and agreed carelessly. The next second, he quickly pried open the woman's hand on him.
Shen Jiaojiao's smile froze. Why did she feel that Lu Yunshan was deliberately avoiding her?
Lu Yunshan took out ten yuan from his pocket and put it in Shen Jiaojiao's hand. "You should take a rest when you are pregnant. Buy more nutritious food and don't treat yourself badly. I have something else to do in the business, so I will go and take care of the work first."
Shen Jiaojiao's unhappiness disappeared the moment he took out the money. She put on a smile that she thought was sensible, "Hey, then you go and get busy first."
Lu Yunshan left home without looking back and headed towards Gu Qinghai's house.
Shen Jiaojiao's delicate appearance really made him uncomfortable. Watching a woman he didn't love acting like a spoiled child to him was also a torture for Lu Yunshan.
Chen Jiaojiao took the money, thought about it, and went out. She held her flat belly with one hand, and walked around the courtyard with her back straight.
It was evening now and there were many people sitting in the yard enjoying the cool air.
Everyone looked at Shen Jiaojiao with strange expressions. Was she out of her mind? Why was she walking around here pretending to be a pregnant woman?
Shen Jiaojiao turned around a few times, but no one asked her. She was so angry that she couldn't turn around any further.
She walked around to the big tree and said to a child who was playing in the mud, "Little boy, can you please stand up and give me a seat? I'm pregnant and can't stand for long."
Although the child didn't understand why she asked him to give up his seat since she was pregnant, he still politely stood up and gave the bench to Shen Jiaojiao.
