Zhao Youlin noticed that Lu Xiangtian’s gaze was focused on her stomach, and the smile on her face froze. Realizing that she had nothing to hide, she blurted out, “I… I’m pregnant.”
Lu Shu’s expression changed when she heard that. The gaze that she gave Zhao Youlin was unfriendly, no matter how she looked at it.
Forget about Su He. Why was this woman pregnant? Wasn’t this just bad luck for her? Damn it! Nothing had gone her way since she came here today!
Lu Shu did not know why she was so angry. However, every time she thought about how the person in front of her had the same name as a certain someone, she could not help but want to compete with her.
This time, the frustration that had disappeared for a long time because of the death of a certain someone strangely returned to her, making her indescribably angry.
It was one thing for this person to have a happier married life than her, but she was even one step ahead of her when it came to getting pregnant. How hateful!
Jiang Wenfang and the others did not expect Lu Xiangtian to suddenly ask this. They were also stunned. After hearing Zhao Youlin’s answer, he hurriedly said, “Yes, Youlin has not been pregnant for long, so it’s not very obvious. You have good eyes. You actually spotted it at a glance.”
Lu Xiangtian smiled at Jiang Wenfang and shifted his gaze to Zhao Youlin again. He asked softly, “How many months has it been?”
At that moment, Zhao Youlin realized that Lu Xiangtian’s attitude toward her was a little odd. She chuckled and said, “About… three months.”
“Good, good. Take good care of yourself.” Lu Xiangtian did not continue to ask, but his last sentence of concern was really thought-provoking.
After all, there were not many people in this world who could receive Lu Xiangtian’s sincere concern and blessing.
The atmosphere at the table once again returned to the awkward and the heavy atmosphere before. There was no lack of people at the banquet who wanted to go up and chat with Jiang Wenfang and Su Liqiang, but Lu Xiangtian sat at the table of the two of them, the table and the entire banquet were almost separate from each other. Fortunately, this situation did not last long because Ye Yan had already arrived not long after Zhao Youlin and Su He were called over. Sensing the atmosphere, he went upstairs and brought Su He and the twins down.
Lu Xiangtian was originally here to visit the children. Now that the children had come down, it was not good for him to keep Zhao Youlin there. He got up with Lu Shu and walked towards Su He and the others.
When Zhao Youlin and the others saw him leave, they heaved a huge sigh of relief. Su Qing ran over as well. She grabbed Zhao Youlin’s hand and asked with concern, “What’s going on? Why did that person suddenly look for you guys? Did he hear what we said earlier?”
Zhao Youlin could not help but laugh. She shook her head and said, “You’re thinking too much. It’s just… It’s just that uncle and aunt once introduced us to him last time. This time, when they saw us around, they just looked for us to have a chat. It’s nothing serious.”
Su Qing had a suspicious look on her face. It was obvious that she didn’t really believe Zhao Youlin’s words.
Zhao Youlin did not care what Su Qing thought either. It was already a surprise that Lu Xiangtian still remembered her. Right now, she shouldn’t be thinking about how to deal with Su Qing. Instead, she should be thinking about how to explain her relationship with Lu Xiangtian to Mu Tingfeng. After all, that guy easily got jealous!
Fortunately, Lu Xiangtian and his daughter had little contact with Zhao Youlin during the banquet. However, when he and Lu Shu were about to leave, they actually turned around and smiled at her again.
Because of this smile, Zhao Youlin felt goosebumps all over her body. When she sensed Mu Tingfeng’s increasingly dark face, Zhao Youlin’s ominous premonition grew stronger.
As expected, as soon as the banquet ended that day, the two of them took Joy, who had fallen asleep playing, back to their own car to prepare to go home. Mu Tingfeng just sat in the driver’s seat and said nothing. He just stared at Zhao Youlin with a pair of deep eyes.
Zhao Youlin, who was being stared at by him, broke out in a cold sweat. She laughed dryly and said, “Well, just like what I said just now, Mr. Lu and I really just… Just exchanged a few words.”
“A few words?” Mu Tingfeng raised his eyebrows. A few words would make that man miss Zhao Youlin? Then how explosive were these few words!!
Zhao Youlin was shaken by Mu Tingfeng’s echo. She rolled her eyes and could only repeat the few words that she and Lu Xiangtian had said at that time, before she finished, she muttered, “How would I know that it was just a few casual greetings that hit that person in the right spot and make him miss me until now. Moreover, I didn’t expect that he would really want me to call him just because he gave me his business card. I thought… I thought that it was just a formality…”
Mu Tingfeng’s eyes turned cold. Zhao Youlin’s incident today might really be a formality if it was someone else. After all, an ordinary person would give their business card to anyone who had a slight interaction with them.
However, it was not as simple as a courtesy for Lu Xiangtian. With Lu Xiangtian’s current status, his contact information could not be easily obtained by just anyone.
With this thought in mind, Mu Tingfeng’s gaze on Zhao Youlin only grew deeper and deeper.
Zhao Youlin felt goosebumps all over her body from his stare and said awkwardly, “That… you can’t be jealous over this, right? That person is older than my father, so… so…”
Zhao Youlin did not continue talking. It was true that there were some old perverts in the upper class who liked to find younger girls… ahem, there were even younger girls than their granddaughters…
Zhao Youlin felt as if she had accidentally dug a hole and buried herself, but she couldn’t say that she was in the wrong.
Mu Tingfeng’s eyes were so misty that no one could see what he was thinking. After a long while, Zhao Youlin heard him say, “In the future, don’t carelessly flirt outside.”
Pfft… Flirt?! Zhao Youlin widened her eyes and looked at Mu Tingfeng in disbelief. Flirt? Her?!
Zhao Youlin felt that if she continued to stay by Mu Tingfeng’s side, if she died one day, he would blame her for it!
Zhao Youlin was still depressed over Lu Xiangtian’s sudden appearance. On the other side, An Qi was wavering because of the conversation between Nie Xingzhi and Han Yichen. The firm conviction in her heart began to waver bit by bit and began to crumble.
The street lamps outside the window were like the stars in the sky, misty and glittering.
An Qi couldn’t help but recall that night when she had chased Nie Yunfan out. Nie Yunfan had stood under this building for an entire night.
