He didn't want Gu Nanjiao to suffer twice in his life, so he wouldn't have another child, regardless of whether it was a boy or a girl.
Of course, twins would be best. Lu Yanzhao personally believed that having twins would mean suffering only once.
"But the risks of carrying twins are high. What if I have a difficult childbirth?" Gu Nanjiao couldn't help but feel scared when she thought about it.
"Don't be afraid! Relax." Lu Yanzhao patted Gu Nanjiao's arm reassuringly, but thinking of what the doctor had said a few days ago, he couldn't help but feel a little irritated.
The doctor said that there was a high possibility that Gu Nanjiao was pregnant with twins!
Sensing Lu Yanzhao's unease, Gu Nanjiao thought her words had frightened him. She pursed her lips, then suddenly sat up and leaned against Lu Yanzhao's chest: "I'm hungry. Didn't you say you brought lotus cakes? Hurry up and feed me."
"good!"
...
A month passed in the blink of an eye, and Zhou Yu's "Weizan" snail rice noodle shop opened for business. The shop's name was written in large gold lettering on the signboard, exuding an air of extravagance.
Two couplets were posted on either side of the shop: "After slurping snail rice noodles today, I feel so energetic."
Horizontal scroll: Authentic and delicious
Unfortunately, no one wanted to eat the snail rice noodles. Passersby covered their noses and showed their disgust.
Zhou Yu was extremely worried. After three days of business, he finally welcomed his first customer.
The customer was exceptionally beautiful, dressed in spotless white. Seeing that Zhou Yu was about to close, she quickly said, "A bowl of snail rice noodles, spicy, please."
Upon seeing this face, Zhou Yu narrowed her eyes in disbelief: "Bai Luochen?"
"What, you're not doing business with me?"
"How could that be!" Zhou Yu suddenly put on a bright smile and diligently served tea and water to Bai Luochen, taking over all the work that the shop assistants had to do.
Bai Luochen had been craving snail rice noodles for a long time, but Lu Yanzhao kept a close eye on him, not allowing him to get even a inch near Gu Nanjiao. Similarly, Gu Nanjiao wasn't allowed to touch snail rice noodles either, as it was said to be bad for the fetus.
He had a craving for snail rice noodles, and Bai Su told him that a new snail rice noodle shop had opened in the capital, and suggested he go and try it himself.
After Bai Su finished speaking, she ran away in a flash, which angered Bai Luochen so much that he wanted to deduct her wages.
To everyone's surprise, Bai Su didn't care, saying that wages were nothing compared to his wife, and that he could just let his wife support him in the future.
The lackey, blinded by lust, spent all his time circling around that yellow girl.
"Give me some vinegar!" Bai Luochen shouted at Zhou Yu, poking hard at the snail rice noodles in his bowl. He felt terrible; everyone else was taken, and he was the only single guy.
After waiting for ages, the vinegar still hadn't arrived. Bai Luochen put down his chopsticks and went into the kitchen.
But Zhou Yu wasn't there. Where did she go? She was just now serving tea and water so attentively!
"Where is your manager?" Bai Luochen asked, casually pulling one of the shop assistants aside.
"Hehe..." The waiter scratched his head: "Our manager went to the back to get ready, I wonder who it was for?"
Bai Luochen narrowed his eyes. Could it be that she was also taken?
How did I end up running into the restaurant owner's date while just having a meal?
I'm feeling a bit down. I wonder if it's because Qixi Festival is coming soon, but everyone seems to be in a relationship.
Bai Luochen lost his appetite, paid the bill and prepared to leave, but then he heard a sweet, melodious female voice: "Young Master Bai, you've finished eating so quickly."
The woman before me wore a sandy pink brocade bodice, draped with a white, misty, pleated skirt adorned with mandarin ducks playing in the water. A light blue belt hung at her waist, and she wore a blue and white gauze cloak. Exquisite blue jade bracelets adorned her arms, and her hair was simply styled in a bun. A turquoise double-river jade hairpin was tucked diagonally into her hair. She was delicate and natural, with elegant manners and a refined, otherworldly beauty.
Bai Luochen rubbed his eyes and looked closely. Wasn't this Zhou Yu?
For some reason, Bai Luochen's tone was somewhat irritated: "Who are you going to see dressed so nicely?"
Zhou Yu was taken aback when she heard this. Wasn't she dressed up so nicely just to see him?
Why do you look so unhappy?
It must be that her hairstyle and clothes didn't match today, which is why Bai Luochen found it annoying.
Zhou Yu was too lazy to change anymore. She tugged at the white veil and tossed it to the waiter beside her, saying irritably, "What business is it of yours who I see? Even eating can't shut you up."
"You! I can't be bothered with you." Bai Luochen ignored the arrogant and rude Zhou Yu and turned to leave.
I've always thought she was unreasonable, and now I think she is even more so. Even though the Zhou family has fallen on hard times, she still acts all high and mighty.
"Hey, have you paid yet?" Zhou Yu shouted at the top of her lungs, but Bai Luochen seemed not to hear her and quickened her pace.
"You want to freeload? You'll have to see if I'll allow it first. Don't think you can get something for nothing just because you're pretty." Zhou Yu lifted her skirt and chased after him.
Unexpectedly, she ran too fast and stumbled, knocking Bai Luochen to the ground. The two rolled around together in a hug before jumping away as if electrocuted.
"What...what are you doing? Trying to take advantage of me?" Zhou Yu crossed her arms, looking hesitant and timid, as if she were the one who had been wronged.
Bai Luochen was so angry he laughed. He dusted himself off and gave Zhou Yu a mocking look: "It was you who shamelessly pounced on me, yet you accused me of taking advantage of you. You have quite the nerve!"
Depend on!
She hated it when people said she had a big face. Zhou Yu jumped up and pounced on Bai Luochen again, saying fiercely, "You said I shamelessly pounced on you. If I don't pounce on you again, I'll be letting you down."
In broad daylight, under the clear sky, this dashing and debonair young nobleman was twice pounced on by the same woman.
Feeling the other person's lips gradually approaching her right ear, the breath from their mouth brushing against her earlobe, a blush instantly spread from her chest to her neck, all the way to her ears and cheeks, overflowing from her skin and staining it red.
"Get out of my way!" Bai Luochen was furious and shoved the person off him. His face was as red as a boiled shrimp, and his breathing became increasingly unsteady.
Zhou Yu lay there blankly on the ground, touching her burning cheeks, too embarrassed to look up at the sulking Bai Luochen.
Oh God, kill her!
If there were a hole in the ground, Zhou Yu would want to crawl into it.
She was actually captivated by male beauty, and for a moment she violated a taboo for a young woman. If word got out, how would she ever get married?
Has all that upbringing she received from the Zhou family over the years gone to waste? If her family finds out, they'll probably beat her senseless.
Bai Luochen straightened his disheveled clothes and noticed that the woman on the ground was lying there motionless. He frowned, squatted down, and poked her with his fan: "Hey, stop pretending to be dead."
The person on the ground stirred, then suddenly stood up, covered their face, and ran around the street like a headless fly.
I'm so ashamed I can't face anyone!
Zhou Yu cursed himself for being shameless, covered his face and ran as fast as he could. He didn't see the carriage in front of him and crashed into it.
A loud bang.
Zhou Yu drew a perfect arc and landed at Bai Luochen's feet.
Before fainting, Zhou Yu rolled her eyes and pointed at Bai Luochen: "A face that brings disaster to the country and its people."
She vowed that if she were still alive, she would definitely avoid Bai Luochen and would never be seduced by male beauty.
