Bai Lu Yue kept her head down the entire ti, quietly sobbing, which broke Gu Yuzhu’s heart.
Seeing Lan Xi remain silent for so long, he raised his voice in anger, "Do you want others to say you abuse pregnant won?"
Lan Xi’s eyes widened abruptly, her pupils contracting violently.
Abusing a pregnant woman, that’s a very serious accusation.
If proven, it would result in severe punishnt.
Lan Xi never expected such words to co from her husband’s mouth, and for a while, she was too stunned to respond. Her lips opened and closed several tis, like a fish out of water, unable to catch her breath.
The mont the words left his mouth, Gu Yuzhu regretted them. Especially when he saw the dim, lifeless look in Lan Xi’s eyes, his heart contracted. He wanted to apologize but couldn’t swallow his pride.
Bai Lu Yue: "I’m sorry... It’s my fault for disturbing your lives. Brother Yuzhu, don’t quarrel with Sister Lan Xi because of ."
"I, I’ll just leave now." Bai Lu Yue hurriedly raised her tear-streaked face, looking pitiful like an abandoned puppy.
Gu Yuzhu: "Go, where can you go?"
The guilt and unease that had just surfaced in Gu Yuzhu vanished instantly from his heart, replaced with overwhelming pity and anger.
"Don’t leave, you’re staying here for now," Gu Yuzhu said firmly, pulling Bai Lu Yue in, brushing past Lan Xi’s shoulder as he walked by.
Gu Yuzhu took Bai Lu Yue to the bedroom, carefully soothing her unease, "You rest first, Lan Xi has so misunderstandings between us. I’ll explain it to her later. Don’t worry about it, just focus on recuperating here with ."
Lan Xi stood where she was, like a soulless statue.
After closing the bedroom door and intending to have a good talk with his wife, Gu Yuzhu was suffocated by the heavy aura emanating from her, a strong sense of unease rising within him.
However, at that mont, he couldn’t register where the unease was coming from.
Gu Yuzhu softened his voice: "Let’s have a good talk."
Despite Gu Yuzhu saying a lot, Lan Xi remained silent, which eventually aggravated him, prompting him to leave in a huff, leaving the remark: "This matter is settled."
When Gu Yuzhu slamd the door to go out to buy toiletries for Bai Lu Yue, he missed Lan Xi’s final murmur: "You’re simply relying on the fact that I love you."
Suddenly, in Lan Xi’s mind, she couldn’t help but recall a text ssage she had glimpsed before.
No matter how hard she tried to erase it, that strange ssage lingered in her mind, refusing to dissipate.
Since Gu Yuzhu enjoys taking care of pregnant won so much, he shouldn’t mind taking care of one more.

What Su Li and Su Xuan said about the trillion-dollar project is true, not a joke.
After Mu Zhuoming endured yet another teary and dramatic call from his mother, he irritably drove to the Su Family’s place, intending to bring his wife back personally.
The days spent at her parent’s house were long enough.
Half a month has passed, he ordered people to keep an eye every day, and until news of the Su Family’s project starting ca through, he never received a call from his brother-in-law. Mu Zhuoming knew, with absolute certainty, that Su Li had not ntioned him to her brother at all.
Why was Mu Zhuoming so sure?
That’s because, given Su Ming and Su Xuan’s indulgent nature towards their daughter/sister, if Su Li even hinted that she wanted their lives, they probably wouldn’t blink an eye.
The car was driven by Mu Zhuoming up to 120 km/h, fortunately, there were neither vehicles nor pedestrians along the road, leaving only a massive roar and the acrid odor of exhaust gas.
As the car approached the Su Family’s place, the redness in Mu Zhuoming’s eyes gradually receded to normal, but his deep, dark eyes remained cloudy, revealing an impenetrable blackness.
Docile and gentle, obedient and considerate... Over the years of marriage, his wife had always perford well.
But this ti, he was truly angry.
A naughty kitten, if not behaving, would have its claws removed directly.
"Dad, Mom, brother, I’m here to take Ah Lee back." Mu Zhuoming waved casually at Su Li who was sitting on the sofa.
Su Xuan frowned, wearing a displeased expression, and said, "She just stayed at ho for a short while, and you already want to take her back?"
Su Ming and Xu Suyun’s good mood dissipated instantly as well.
Mu Zhuoming was unfazed, "Dad, Mom misses Ah Lee and wants her to stay at the old house for a while as well."
A scowl on his face, Su Ming was about to retort but was stopped by Xu Suyun who gave their daughter a aningful glance.
In so aspects, won are more thoughtful and considerate.
Although Xu Suyun was reluctant to see her good girl leave, there was one unchangeable fact: their good girl was married.
In the 30-year marriage contract they were bound by, she couldn’t divorce.
As long as she was a daughter-in-law of the Mu Family, she couldn’t disregard her in-laws’ opinions.
However, the most important thing remained their good girl’s perspective.
Three pairs of eyes pinned on her, Su Li continued to ticulously apply her nail polish.
Doing her own nail art was an intricate task, but Su Li had always known how to bide her ti.
Only after the pink polish dried completely did Su Li reluctantly raise her head to et Mu Zhuoming’s dark eyes.
Though reluctant, recalling the trillion-dollar project she was collaborating on with Mu Zhuoming, Su Li unwillingly replied, "Alright, then let’s go ho."
The mbers of the Su Family were all disheartened, their shoulders slumping dejectedly.
Su Xuan was hesitant, his eyes conveying the unspoken words... only shy of putting his thoughts right on his face: If she said she didn’t want to go, he could imdiately send her husband packing. Why need a husband at all? Was her brother not considerate enough, or were her parents’ affections not deep enough?
Su Li turned away, not wanting to look. This silly brother was acting foolishly.
With Su Li’s response, Mu Zhuoming faintly curved his lips, showing no extra emotion, turned around, and stepped out.
Su Xuan: "Sister, do you really have to go? Didn’t you find comfort here?"
Xu Suyun: "Darling, why not stay ho for a few more days, several new products from brands we discussed will only be delivered tomorrow."
Su Ming: "Or perhaps we could accompany you to your in-laws’, the Mu Family couldn’t possibly be short of guest rooms, right?"
Su Li: .....
"Don’t be silly." Su Li lightly gestured with her index finger in a mysterious manner and said, "I’m going back to undertake a trillion-dollar project. This is an exceptionally aningful endeavor."
After bidding farewell to the reluctant Su Family, Su Li settled into Mu Zhuoming’s business car.
Before the car door was fully closed, it accelerated suddenly like a whirlwind.
Su Li wondered, "Hmmm?"
Mu Zhuoming kept his eyes straight ahead, his hands on the steering wheel, expressionless and speechless.
The oppressive atmosphere gradually chased away the ease from within the car.
"Is there nothing you want to say to ?"
