As soon as Xiang Wanwan heard the noise, she leaned against the wall to listen.
"Chen De, you bastard! You've been seeing other women behind my back, and now you dare to try and use my relationship with Wanwan to pull strings?"
"You really think I have no temper? I'll beat you to death!"
Then came a series of sounds of pots and pans being smashed.
Xiang Wanwan was somewhat surprised.
I never expected Sister Wang to be so fierce today; she's turned the tables on me like this!
However, Chen De, that scumbag, really went too far!
It's time to clean things up!
Xiang Wanwan laughed happily, while Lu Jingnian watched with amusement from behind.
He took two steps forward, grabbed her by the back of the collar, and said in a deep voice, "Let's go home."
Hearing the man's voice behind her, she immediately let go of the wall, turned around to look at Lu Jingnian, freed her clothes from his grasp, and quickly ran home.
Lu Jingnian looked at his empty hands, then at the small figure in front of him, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
Short legs, but runs pretty fast!
Once home, Xiang Wanwan quickly washed up. The island was going to have a power outage at nine o'clock, and with less than an hour left, she didn't want to walk in the dark.
She didn't take a bath yesterday because there was no firewood or hot water at home.
Since she was pregnant today, she decided to take a shower.
She moved into the study, stared at Lu Jingnian who was reading, and asked softly, "Could you help me start a fire? I want to take a bath."
Lu Jingnian was stunned to see her big, bright eyes blinking and her pink lips gently biting.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Xiang Wanwan asked again.
A moment later, he finally put down the book in his hand, got up and went to the kitchen to boil water for her.
It wasn't that Xiang Wanwan didn't want to do it; it was just that she couldn't get the energy to work. She had tried several times at home that afternoon, but it didn't work.
That's why they resigned themselves to their fate and sought help from Lu Jingnian.
Soon, after the water was boiled, Lu Jingnian thoughtfully filled a container for her and put it in the bathroom.
Xiang Wanwan thanked him and went into the bathroom by herself.
In the study, Lu Jingnian picked up a book again, but listening to the sound of running water in the bathroom, he could no longer concentrate on reading.
Half an hour later, the book in my hand was still stuck on that page, untouched.
Just then, everything went black and the power went out.
Immediately afterwards, a scream came from the bathroom.
"ah-!"
Lu Jingnian quickly put down his hand and rushed to the bathroom door, his voice sounding a little unsteady, "Are you alright?"
"I... the power suddenly went out just now, I twisted my ankle and slipped, and now I can't move."
At this moment, Xiang Wanwan felt a piercing pain in her foot, so painful that she broke out in a cold sweat.
She looked towards the door, but Lu Jingnian's voice did not come for a long time.
