Over the next few days, everything proceeded according to Lu Jingyan's plan.
Every morning, Lu's mother would arrive at the apartment on time and return to the Lu family's old house after making dinner in the evening.
As the president of the Lu Group, he doesn't need to go to the company and can stay at home with his wife every day. His life is truly unparalleled.
until…
"Baby, have breakfast first and then come back to sleep, be good..." Lu Jingyan gently coaxed the little woman who had been exhausted by her last night.
Shi Wan, who had been exploited to the point of exhaustion, was currently huddled in bed and unwilling to get up, no matter how much Lu Jingyan coaxed her.
Helpless, Lu Jingyan could only go downstairs to bring up breakfast.
As soon as I opened the bedroom door, I heard the sound of a door opening downstairs, and Lu's mother came in carrying in the desserts that Shi Wan loved.
Upon hearing Lu's mother's voice, Shi Wan suddenly stood up and sat blankly on the bed.
Lu Jingyan was startled by Shi Wan's sudden action and was about to ask what was wrong.
Lu's mother appeared at the bedroom door, "Wanwan, I bought some desserts from Shenghe..."
Before Lu Jingyan could react, Shi Wan sat on the bed, biting her red lips, looking at Lu's mother with teary eyes, her hands occasionally rubbing her lower back.
Mother Lu was heartbroken and tossed the plate in her hand to Lu Jingyan before rushing forward to massage Shi Wan's lower back.
"Wanwan, tell Mom if you still feel unwell."
"Mom, my back hurts..."
As someone with experience, Lu's mother could tell from Shi Wan's appearance that her good-for-nothing son had done something wrong again last night.
Seeing the large red marks on Shi Wan's neck, how could she not know what had happened? That brat Lu Jingyan had really tormented his daughter-in-law.
Mrs. Lu felt extremely distressed. She turned around and glared at Lu Jingyan. Seeing Shi Wan's aggrieved eyes, Mrs. Lu angrily picked up a pillow and threw it at him.
"You brat, get out of here right now! From today onwards, you're not allowed to step into the bedroom!"
Lu Jingyan: !!!
In the past, when he tormented Shi Wan, he would stop after being coaxed.
But this time, it was the first time Shi Wan complained to her mother-in-law. Judging from her mother's favoritism towards Shi Wan, this matter could not be resolved by simply coaxing her.
That night, Lu Jingyan took his pillow to the second bedroom, and he stayed there for another half a month.
In order not to disturb the young couple's time alone, Lu's mother would come to take care of Shi Wan during the day and return to the old house at night. Before leaving, she would repeatedly warn Lu Jingyan not to enter the master bedroom.
Lu Jingyan basically scoffed at these warnings; once she left, he wouldn't be able to control her anymore.
As a result, Shi Wan firmly refused to let him into the bedroom this time.
Since becoming pregnant, Lu Jingyan had been quiet for a while, but after the pregnancy stabilized, his wolfish nature resurfaced.
She was rescued from being exploited, and this time, finally, Lu's mother stepped in to protect her. She can escape as many times as she can.
Another half month passed, and Shi Wan's complexion improved, and her appetite also increased.
Lu's mother goes to the apartment every day and does everything herself, making Lu Jingyan, her "husband," seem somewhat superfluous.
Despite being thoroughly disliked, Lu Jingyan still stayed home and refused to go to the company.
His mother chased him away, but he wouldn't leave. His father urged him on, but he still wouldn't go.
He justified it by saying, "Wanwan has been pregnant for ten months, and if I go out every day, some people with ill intentions might see me. Wouldn't that make Wanwan sad? To put her mind at ease, I can't go out recklessly."
The group lived comfortably and peacefully in the apartment, while the group at the company was extremely busy and overwhelmed.
The overseas acquisition was the company's last major project at the end of the year, and everyone had to work overtime to complete it.
Fortunately, although we had to work overtime, everyone's performance bonus was very substantial, so everyone was willing to work hard with the chairman without any complaints.
After a month, the group completed the final work. At the last second before signing the contract, Mr. Lu threw down his pen, grabbed his coat, and left.
Zhou Yuan was left standing at the office door, clutching a pile of documents, utterly dejected.
As the weather grew colder, Lu Jingyan accompanied Shi Wan to the hospital for a prenatal checkup.
Also accompanying them were Lu's parents and the entire Chu family.
As soon as I arrived at the dean's office, I heard a group of people making a fuss.
"Wanwan's baby is definitely a girl!" Chu Ningxuan's booming voice rang out first.
"roll!"
"roll!"
But in the end, it was drowned out by the crowd's shouts of "Get out!"
Shi Wan and Lu Jingyan did not enter the dean's office, but instead went to the examination room.
Lu Jingyan didn't care whether the child was a boy or a girl, as long as Shi Wan was safe and sound.
Moreover, Shi Wan's taste in food was constantly changing during this period, alternating between sour, sweet, bitter and spicy.
Since the hospital was theirs, they could easily find out, but the two decided to keep it a surprise for themselves.
The renovation of Qingshan Yazhu has been completed for several months. It should be said that the project there was completed when Shi Wan was only a few months pregnant.
However, considering her health, the move was repeatedly postponed.
After a while, Shi Wan gave birth. Although the apartment was not small, Lu Jingyan decided to move back to Qingshan Yazhu to take into account Shi Wan's daily life during her postpartum period.
The entire moving process took only one day. When Shi Wan returned to Qingshan Yazhu, all her belongings had already been organized by the servants.
Whether it was due to late pregnancy or something else, she became increasingly dependent on Lu Jingyan.
The first thing she does every morning when she wakes up is to make sure Lu Jingyan is lying next to her.
Lu Jingyan entrusted most of the company's business to his father and Zhou Yuan, while he devoted himself to accompanying Shi Wan, giving her the greatest sense of security during her pregnancy.
The couple's life became increasingly sweet and harmonious.
When Ji Meng returned to Kyoto, Shi Wan had already moved out of the apartment.
The story of An Jia's adopted daughter seizing power spread like wildfire in Xindu, and Zhao Zhilin was extremely busy during that time.
To protect Ji Meng, he stayed by her side almost every day. All business in Xindu was handled by his assistant, and anything that the assistant couldn't handle was sent to the capital for him to decide.
The An family wields considerable influence in Xindu, and many prominent families in the city have been affected.
However, this power grab was orchestrated by Chu Ningyi and Song Heng, and Zhao Zhilin received prior notice, so the Zhao Group was not affected.
On the very night An Mo seized An Cheng's underground forces, he sent people to the capital to deal with Ji Meng. Fortunately, Ji Chu and Zhao Zhilin's forces were there to protect her secretly at all times.
An Mo's men were all wiped out. Zhao Zhilin suffered only minor injuries, while Ji Meng slept soundly until dawn.
After finishing her business in the capital, she rushed back to Kyoto, while Zhao Zhilin returned to Xindu to handle the aftermath.
Bored at her apartment, she moved to Ji Chu's villa in Qingshan Yazhu and spent her days there chatting with Shi Wan.
However, every time she comes, she gets fed a wave of PDA and leaves.
The same applies today.
She had just picked up the fruit plate when she saw Lu Jingyan put his arm around Shi Wan and sit down, thoughtfully draping a shawl over her shoulders.
Ji Meng took a big bite of the strawberry. "Big brother, I was chatting with my best friend, why are you getting in on the fun?"
Lu Jingyan, sitting opposite him, didn't even lift his eyelids, his tone casual, "Envious? What about Zhao Zhilin?"
Ji Meng's lips twitched, and her eyes rolled back. "A good woman doesn't argue with a man."
Shi Wan chuckled, "Mengmeng, are you going back to the capital this time?"
Ji Meng glanced at Shi Wan's pregnant belly, "I'm still waiting to be a godmother. What if I leave and Sister Xiaoyun snatches her away?"
Shi Wan lowered her head and touched her pregnant belly. "Then you should stay in Qingshan Yazhu and not run around during this time."
She overheard Lu Jingyan on the phone saying that Ji Meng was almost kidnapped by An Mo's people, and she was so frightened that she would wake up from her dreams from time to time.
Ji Meng seems carefree now, as if nothing happened, but in reality, she's the most timid person.
Back when Ji Menggang was sent to study in Country Y and lived in her house, she would be awakened by nightmares all night.
Just then, the phone on the table rang, and Ji Meng glanced at the caller ID.
He then excitedly took the phone.
"At Qingshan Yazhu?" A low, soft laugh came from the other end of the phone.
"Yes. Are you coming over?" Ji Meng asked with a sweet smile.
"Twenty minutes, wait for me," Zhao Zhilin replied with a doting tone.
Upon hearing this, Ji Meng suddenly stood up.
Lu Jingyan, who was standing to the side, was startled by Ji Meng's sudden outburst and immediately hugged Shi Wan tightly, "Miss, what are you going to do now?"
Ji Meng ignored him.
He walked up to Shi Wan and ruffled her hair. "Zhao Zhilin is back. I'll go over there first."
"Mmm," Shi Wan said with a sweet smile.
