Chapter 756: Chapter 697: A Son of the Zhan Family Grown Up (Part 2)

Xia Luo refused.

However, just as she said one word, Zhan Yunxiao blocked her mouth, making it impossible for her to express her refusal.

"I’ve already made ointment with no side effects for pregnant women, Luoluo you..."

Ningwan pushed the door open and came in.

As a result, as soon as she entered, she saw her son and daughter-in-law passionately kissing.

She was immediately embarrassed, blushed, and hurriedly backed out.

Xia Luo and Zhan Yunxiao were also taken aback.

Xia Luo quickly pushed Zhan Yunxiao away and, both shy and angry, blamed him: "Look, this is all your doing."

Zhan Yunxiao also felt wronged.

In his own house, getting intimate with his own wife, and then being blamed after being caught?

"Mom, come in!"

However, he didn’t dare to offend the person who walked in on them, so he hurriedly invited her in.

Ningwan walked in calmly and handed the ointment to Xia Luo.

"This is something I specially developed, it won’t have any side effects. Apply it twice a day, morning and night, and I guarantee in three days your face will be as good as new. In fact, even better than before."

"Really? Thank you, mom. But with something this good, why not develop it into a skincare product? I’m sure it would sell very well," Xia Luo asked with curiosity.

Ningwan: "Am I someone who needs money? Do you know how many precious herbs I need to refine this ointment? If it were mass-produced, the cost would be too high, it’s pointless."

"Oh, so that’s how it is." Xia Luo understood.

Ningwan glanced at her son, who was about to stare into a stone while staring at his wife.

She shook her head and sternly reminded, "I know you two are young and passionate, your relationship is good, and you’re in that sweet phase. As a mother, it’s not my place to say anything, nor should I. But as a doctor, I must warn you to exercise restraint. Especially you, Xiao, Luoluo is pregnant now, more than a month in, and the fetus is still unstable. If you do something to harm her, you’ll regret it too late." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Zhan Yunxiao and Xia Luo’s faces turned red with embarrassment.

Xia Luo bowed her head in shame.

"I know, mom, I’ll be mindful. If you have nothing else, please go back! Otherwise, dad will call me again," Zhan Yunxiao urged.

Ningwan stood up: "I know you don’t like to hear this, but even if you don’t like it, remember my words."

"Got it, got it, you’re not a nagging mother." Zhan Yunxiao said.

Ningwan: "..."

Originally, she wanted to nag a few more sentences, but now she felt embarrassed to say more.

"As long as you know, I’m leaving now."

Ningwan left.

Zhan Yunxiao personally escorted his mother out the door.

When he came back, he dismissed the idea he had earlier about moving back.

He sent more bodyguards over, the priority was to capture You Mei as soon as possible.

Going back was not an option.

If staying here means their intimacy could be interrupted, going back would make it even less convenient.

"Don’t mess around anymore in the future, mom saw it all."

When Zhan Yunxiao came back, Xia Luo couldn’t help but scold him again.

Zhan Yunxiao held her shoulders, feeling wronged: "Kissing my own wife, what’s wrong with being seen? Mom isn’t an old-fashioned person, she’ll understand."

"Understand what? Didn’t you hear mom lecturing us?"

Xia Luo blushed and pushed him away.

She hurriedly took the ointment Ningwan gave her and went to the bathroom to apply it in front of the mirror.

Initially, Zhan Yunxiao wanted to help her.

But there was no way she would let Zhan Yunxiao apply the green ointment on her face.

Her swollen look had already been seen by him, and it was irreparable.

However, she couldn’t let herself look any worse.

Not only did she refuse his help, but she also drove him out.

Saying for the entire day, he wasn’t allowed to see her.

"How can that be, I won’t feel at ease if I don’t see you," Zhan Yunxiao said.

Xia Luo sternly said, "If you don’t listen to me, I’ll move out."

"Okay, okay, I’ll listen, don’t move out. If you move out, how can I protect you? I won’t come to find you tonight, will come again tomorrow, okay?"

"Let’s see how things are tomorrow."

Xia Luo closed the door with a smirk on her lips.

Zhan Yunxiao smiled helplessly.

Actually, he knew in his heart that Xia Luo didn’t want him to see her at her worst.

Although he didn’t care, he really didn’t care.

But, he didn’t want her to feel burdened, so he left temporarily.

It was also a good opportunity to set a trap for You Mei to fall into.

Ningwan’s ointment was indeed effective.

In two days, the redness and swelling on Xia Luo’s face completely subsided, returning to her previous beautiful appearance.

Even, her skin looked better than before.

Xia Luo was practically ready to treat the ointment as a skincare product and decided to apply it for a few more days.

Although she has always been confident in her looks, who could ignore the fact that Zhan Yunxiao is even better looking?

With such a handsome husband, she could only always be vigilant about her appearance, not allowing any margin for error.

Zhan Yunxiao also took advantage of these two days to set up a large-scale operation to make sure everyone in Jiangcheng knew that Mu Chen was back.

The news of Xia Luo’s pregnancy was also spread.

This would further agitate You Mei.

She might already seethe with anger and sleepless nights when thinking about how Xia Luo was already pregnant under her control without her knowledge or ability to harm Xia Luo.

This would provoke her into quicker action.

"Zhan, Mr. You has left Jiangcheng."

Yan Yu came running to report to Zhan Yunxiao.

Zhan Yunxiao furrowed his brow.

Yan Yu muttered, "Even if they are father and daughter, how could he leave without finding You Mei first?"

"Because he knows where You Mei is, but he can’t persuade her, so he simply leaves, out of sight, out of mind." Zhan Yunxiao said.

"Ah, he knows where You Mei is? But didn’t he say..."

"What he said may not be true, so how’s the investigation on the You Family’s business?" Zhan Yunxiao asked.
