Indulging Mrs. Lu-Chapter 1000 - 997: Pregnant with Lu Jincheng’s Child

After a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, Leng Shuangshuang’s voice came through with a hint of laughter, "So did you say yes?"

"Yes."

After a brief pause, Lu Xinyun added, "Am I being too forward?"

"No, you did great."

Lu Xinyun was both amused and exasperated, "Are you teasing me or complimenting me?"

"Complimenting you. But..." Leng Shuangshuang expressed some concern; if Uncle Lu found out that Lu Xinyun accepted someone’s proposal this easily, he might be so protective that he could chop up Nangong Xuan.

Just as she was about to speak, she heard Lu Xinyun’s voice come through, "I’m just afraid that if my dad finds out, it’ll be the end of me. You know how he never lets me get too close to other men."

"Yes, you guys take your time to discuss it."

Lu Xinyun was a bit agitated, "Ah, let’s not talk about this. By the way, did you find my brother last night?"

"Yes, found him."

She chuckled, "Did he say anything to you?"

Leng Shuangshuang said, "No, after I untied him, he just left."

"Sigh~ I thought the two of you were doing alright? Why do I feel things are off between you two since I got back? Shuang’er, tell me honestly, did something happen between you?"

On the other side of the phone, Leng Shuangshuang pressed her lips together for a moment but firmly shook her head to deny, "No, we’re good. It’s just that there are a lot of things happening at the company recently, so we haven’t had time to talk about anything else."

"Really?"

"Really."

"That’s good, I’ll check with my brother later and see if he’s still going to get engaged to Han Shiwen."

"...Alright. Xinyun, it’s the weekend tomorrow, are you free?"

"Yes, I am."

"Accompany me to the hospital."

－

The next day, Lu Xinyun overslept. By the time she got to the hospital, Leng Shuangshuang had already finished her check-up and was waiting in the hospital’s waiting area.

She said with a hint of apology, "Sorry, I overslept today. What’s wrong with you? What did the doctor say?"

Leng Shuangshuang smiled at her, "My stomach’s been uncomfortable lately, probably due to too much work, the doctor said it’s nothing serious, just need to rest more." After speaking, she lowered her eyes, a faint emotion flashing through them.

"That’s good. I haven’t been eating properly these past few years, and I feel unwell too. Thankfully it’s just nausea. Normal eating and relaxing will fix it."

"Yes. Let’s go eat something."

Lu Xinyun held onto Leng Shuangshuang’s arm, advising her on things to pay attention to as they walked. Finally, she said, "No way, I need to give my brother a piece of my mind. It’s not right for them to be exploiting employees like this."

She didn’t notice the bit of panic on Leng Shuangshuang’s face at the mention of Lu Jincheng, "Don’t! Xinyun, don’t talk to your brother."

Lu Xinyun was a bit puzzled by her reaction.

Leng Shuangshuang also felt her response was a bit excessive and quickly said, "We can’t let business be delayed because of me. Don’t talk to him; he’ll think I’m being petty." Especially since he had said that public and personal should be distinct.

"Alright then, if you don’t want me to, I won’t."

Upon hearing this, Leng Shuangshuang felt relieved.

That night

Leng Shuangshuang did not return to the Leng Family but went back to her small apartment. She took out the test results from the morning, which showed: Eleven weeks pregnant.

She was pregnant.

Pregnant with Lu Jincheng’s child.

Recalling the incident at the hospital in the morning, her eyes gradually reddened.

For the past few days, her stomach had been uncomfortable every morning, and she kept dry heaving. But once the morning passed, everything would be normal as if nothing had happened.
