Even though he held her to sleep every night, it was inevitable that he would lose control a little, but his self-control was still decent. At worst, he could take more cold showers, or resolve it with his hand.
Song Qiao heard Lu Jingchen’s words and felt this request wasn’t difficult. After thinking it over, she nodded, "Okay."
Lu Jingchen’s words just now made Song Qiao genuinely feel that moving back to the villa wasn’t a loss. As for her grandpa, she could visit him and have a al together whenever she wasn’t working or busy.
Hearing Song Qiao agree so quickly, Lu Jingchen knew it was his words that influenced her. However, even if she agreed to move back with him, he still felt uneasy because it was his words that persuaded her.
But... now he had no room to regret. The only thing he could do now was to keep her by his side.
However, before they could properly resolve their relationship issues, because of Murong Rui, Song Qiao had to leave An City without a choice, and she didn’t even bring up the divorce to Lu Jingchen personally.
By the ti Lu Jingchen fully realized what was happening, Song Qiao was already gone, and he had lost all news about her.
...
After moving back to the villa, Lu Jingchen, true to his word, shared a bed with Song Qiao every night without touching her.
They passed a week peacefully, and on Saturday morning, Song Qiao woke up early only to find that Lu Jingchen, who would usually be asleep beside her when she woke early, was already gone from the bedroom. Glancing at the digital clock on the bedside, it was only seven in the morning, but the spot beside her was already cold.
Running her fingers through her hair, her morning sickness had subsided a bit in the past few days, making her more prone to sleepiness. She had fallen asleep around eight last night and woke up at midnight for water, noticing Lu Jingchen showering in the bathroom. So, she didn’t pay much attention and went back to sleep after drinking.
As the CEO of CK Group, Lu Jingchen had frequent social engagents. Previously, when their relationship was better, he often declined these engagents. Recently, perhaps not wanting to face her, he started attending them again, coming ho late at night and waking up later than her. Sotis, after she got up, washed, and went downstairs for breakfast with the housekeeper, she’d have to co back up to wake him.
She sat on the bed for quite a while, still a bit reluctant to move. Gradually, she lay back down and stayed there motionlessly.
Due to her pregnancy, Song Qiao had transferred Song Xi to another agent she trusted, soone with whom she had a good relationship and who was competent. Song Xi understood that her relationship with Lu Jingchen wasn’t good during this ti, so she was empathetic and had no objections, letting her rest well.
"Madam, are you awake?" Just as she was about to doze off again, the maid’s voice ca from the doorway.
Since Aunt Chen had so matters at her hotown, the maid had taken over to wake her.
Song Qiao, still feeling dazed, responded, "I’m awake. What’s up?"
Usually, the maid wouldn’t disturb her unless there was sothing important.
Upon hearing Song Qiao’s voice, the maid imdiately said, "Madam, Miss Murong is here. She wants to see Mr. Lu, but he left early this morning... Miss Murong said she wants to et you."
Murong Rui?
Hearing the maid’s words woke Song Qiao up imdiately. Other than Murong Rui, there was no one else who would be referred to as Miss Murong.
Sitting up straight, her originally beautiful eyebrows furrowed unconsciously as doubt filled her mind. That Murong Rui would co looking for Lu Jingchen wasn’t surprising, but wanting to see her... seed a bit odd.
Running her fingers through her hair again, Song Qiao thought for a mont and spoke to the person outside the door, "You go down first. I’ll co down after getting ready."
The maid answered right away, and the sound of footsteps gradually faded away.
After the maid left, Song Qiao sat on the bed for a few minutes before slowly getting up, walking barefoot on the carpet towards the bathroom while yawning, feeling as though she hadn’t slept enough.
Looking down at her belly, knowing there was a tiny life growing inside, her gloomy mood lifted instantly. She couldn’t help but place her hand on her belly, gently stroking it, even though she couldn’t feel the little life within yet.
Knowing she was pregnant, Song Qiao stopped using her usual skincare and makeup products completely, switching to a pregnancy-safe face wash she had just bought instead.
After brushing her teeth and washing her face, she tied up her hair and stepped out of the bathroom, picked up her phone from the bedside table, and walked out of the bedroom.
In the living room on the first floor, Murong Rui sat on the sofa with an increasingly unpleasant expression, thinking of how she had been sitting for so long and that woman, Song Qiao, still hadn’t co down.
——Song Qiao would probably leave after Liang Sanzhang. The storyline had been stuck for so ti, not knowing how to write it further. After she leaves, the plot will develop more smoothly, and then updates can be more frequent.
