The man was tall, had long legs, and took big steps. Zhao Wan could not catch up with him, so she had to hold her stomach and take small steps to catch up with him, "Second brother, second brother, did the abbot say when my husband can return home?"

Meng Xun frowned when he heard the sound of the girl's footsteps. He turned his head and glanced at Zhao Wan who had caught up with him, and scolded him lightly:

"You are pregnant now, why don't you act like a mother? Is it okay to walk like this?"

Zhao Wan stopped immediately after being scolded. She looked at the stern man in front of her and suddenly felt aggrieved. She bit her lip and whispered, "Second brother, you...you walk too fast, I can't keep up with you."

Meng Xun was in a bad mood just now, so he walked with big strides and forgot to consider whether Zhao Wan could keep up with him.

He said angrily, "Then... I'll walk slower, you don't have to run."

Meng Xun slowed down and walked forward slowly. Zhao

Wan followed him and asked in a sweet voice, "Second brother, you haven't answered me yet, when will my husband come back?"

Meng Xun's expression, which had just softened a little, suddenly turned cold again.

She talked about her husband all the time. Was she looking forward to her brother's return?

Meng Xun replied in a deep voice, "The specific date of return has not been determined. The abbot said that if the evil spirits are completely eliminated, someone will be sent to notify us, and then we can bring my brother back."

"Oh."

Zhao Wan followed Meng Xun in small steps and breathed a sigh of relief.

She had imagined several scenarios after Meng Zhao came back, but when it came to actually facing this husband whom she had only met once, she felt a little timid.

How would he deal with her and the baby in her belly?

Would he punish her according to the family rules, write a letter of divorce, and drive her out of the house, letting the whole Anyang city laugh at her?

It seemed that there was only this result. Apart from divorcing her, what better way was there?

He certainly didn't want to raise a child for someone else, nor did he want to have a withered woman who had given birth to a child.

Zhao Wan lowered her head and sighed melancholy.

Meng Xun saw her sad face, but he mistakenly thought that she was so disappointed because Meng Zhao didn't come back.

Thinking of this, Meng Xun's face became even colder.

Zhao Wan could feel the low pressure emanating from his body as she walked beside him.

She rubbed her arms and felt a little cold for some reason, so she immediately walked away, keeping two meters away from Meng Xun.

Zhao Wan's action further confirmed what Meng Xun was thinking.

He had already firmly believed that she was so sad because her elder brother had not returned.

Meng Xun was unhappy and his face turned cold. He forgot to care about Zhao Wan and immediately walked very fast.

Zhao Wan was left far behind. She looked at the tall and straight back of Meng Xun in front of her, but she did not dare to run up to chase him, lest he scold her again.

Zhao Wan supported her thick waist and walked forward slowly, calling out, "Second brother, second brother, can you wait for me?"

Meng Xun paused when he heard her call, and looked back at the girl who was walking slowly towards him.

When she came to him, he suddenly bent over without warning and hugged her.

"Ah..." Zhao Wan was startled by her body suddenly floating in the air. She glanced at Meng Xun, then looked around nervously, fearing that a servant might pass by, and hurriedly said, "Second...second brother, what are you doing? Put me down quickly, or we'll be seen."

Meng Xun didn't care, his face was frank, "So what if they see us? The baby in your belly is mine, and they will know sooner or later. If someone asks me why I'm holding you, just say you sprained your ankle and can't walk. Then, as your uncle, I have no choice but to break the etiquette and carry you back to the house. I can't just watch you lying on the ground crying."

"Second brother, second brother, I can walk by myself, put me down, it won't be good if people see us." Zhao Wan pushed the man's chest, looking around from time to time, extremely nervous.

If someone really saw her being hugged by her uncle, then the rumors about her being a slut and an unfaithful woman would come true.

How could she survive in Anyang City in the future?
