with you."How could Huo Shaoting possibly receive itNow that he's revealed his identity, Wen Man will probably just turn around and leave. She'll sue him for custody rights.He needs some time to buffe...Ye Bai turned around and saw Lu You's stunned expression.

Her face was full of complexity.

He knew in his heart that the kiss just now was merely a surge of emotion born out of relief, not an indication that Lu You truly accepted him. And he wouldn't use it to pressure her.

She is the love of his life, and she carries his child in her womb.

He saved her, it was only natural.

Ye Bai heated the eggs and brought them to the bedside, sitting down beside Lu You. He didn't let her get up and added two more pillows behind her head. He cut the egg open and fed it to her.

The food reached her mouth, but Lu You did not open it.

She lowered her eyes, her voice soft: "Ye Bai, just now..."

Although it was a refusal, it wasn't as harsh as before. Ye Bai understood her, and he said softly, "I know it doesn't mean anything! It's fine if you don't want to forgive me. I'll leave once the child is stable! Lu You, whenever you're willing to see me, just let me know, and I'll come again."

Lu You's eyes were filled with tears.

She had too much in her heart that she couldn't bring herself to say.

Ye Bai softened his voice: "Have some food first."

The lights were soft, and the gentle expression on his face mirrored the tenderness they shared when they first married. She would linger in bed, and he would patiently feed her. Now, years later, the scene played out again, yet everything was different.

She opened her mouth, but swallowed with tears in her eyes.

Ye Bai stared at her, his heart breaking...

Lu You was uncomfortable overall, only eating one egg and drinking some soup before lying down. Ye Bai finished the remaining two eggs, washed the dishes, and came back to find Lu You had already closed his eyes.

It's not aloofness or coldness, but just being tired.

Yet Ye Bai couldn't fall asleep. He had just experienced the fear of almost losing her, almost losing their child.

One night, he could hardly sleep.

He feared disturbing Lu You's rest, so he dimmed the bedside lamp and leaned against the bed, shielding the light... He hadn't been this close to her in a long time. In the dim light, he greedily gazed at her delicate features.

Perhaps uncomfortable, Lu You even frowned in his sleep.

Ye Bai placed his palm on her abdomen.

He didn't dare to use force.

He gently touched her, and he immediately felt the baby moving in her belly... Even at only five months old, even with a layer of skin between them, Ye Bai could still feel the child's tenacious vitality.

He pulled some strings and heard she was a girl.

That's definitely true, just as cute as Xiao Luhui and in great shape too.

Ye Bai's eyes were full of tenderness, he was already thinking about the child's name, even if Lu You wouldn't use it, he had really thought of many. Lu Huaiyou, Lu Huaijing... After much deliberation, they seemed unworthy of their child.

What's that called, Lu Lai

Does this go well with Xiao Lu Hui

But just then, his biological father denied it. Lu Lai… that's too harsh!

Ye Bai spent the whole night agonizing over it.

At this time, he didn't even think that perhaps the doctor had made a mistake, and maybe what Lu You was carrying in her belly was a boy... (To be continued)

……

Before dawn broke, Lu Shuo hurried over.

The servant at Lu's household, fresh meat porridge, and various side dishes are nutritionally rich... Huo Mingzhu came with him, while Lu Xun is going to send the children to school in a while.

The mother and son pushed open the door to the ward.

Ye Bai was still thinking of a name, when he heard a voice. He turned his body and looked toward the door.

Hu Mingzhu and Lu Suo tiptoed in.

Lu Shuo looked at his younger sister and asked softly, "Are you awake"

"Woke up once! Ate something."

Ye Bai got up and let Huo Mingzhu sit down. Huo Mingzhu couldn't even bear to sit, she had been thinking about it all night... She felt guilty and regretted that if she hadn't returned to the city, Lu You wouldn't have gotten into trouble.

She bent down and gently caressed her daughter's face, whispering, "I didn't even dare to tell her father, afraid he couldn't bear it at his age! Lu You's father loves her the most. When he was working in his study when she was little, he would set up a pink tent for her to play beside him. If he knew, he would be so heartbroken!"

As she spoke, she looked up and thanked Ye Bai with utmost sincerity.

She said, "Ye Bai, thank you!"

Ye Bai choked back a sob: "Mom, you don't have to say that."

Huomingzhu lowered her eyes and smiled faintly, without saying anything more!

Ye Bai was reluctant, but he also knew that Lu You hadn't forgiven him, and wouldn't accept him as her husband now... He knew when to retreat, so he hoarsely said: "Then I'll go back first! I'll come back to see her later."

He was afraid of people's disapproval, so he didn't stay long before leaving.

When the door is closed,

Yet Ye Bai didn't leave immediately. He stood at the door for a long while, lost in thought. At this moment, he hated himself...hated that past self who had spoken such heartless words that night.

If he hadn't done that back then, he could be with Lu You now.

...instead of making things difficult for her. ...

In the hospital room, after Ye Bai left, Huo Mingzhu let out a soft sigh.

She is a mother, which mother doesn't hope for her children's marriages to be happy Her son has always been blissful, but her daughter's love life has been bumpy. She is truly afraid... afraid that when Lu Qian leaves this world, Lu You will still be alone and unmarried.

Lu Shuo guessed his mother's thoughts.

He walked over and gently embraced her, his voice soft as well: "Mother, children will have their own blessings. Besides...don't I have a brother As long as I live, I will treat my sister well every day, and I consider the children Little Lu Hui and Lu You in my womb as my own."

His words brought much comfort to Huo Mingzhu.

……

Lu You woke up when it was almost noon.

She opened her eyes. The sunlight in the ward was just right, and her mother had specially brought two vases and put in fresh flowers... so when she woke up, she could smell the fragrance of flowers.

People's mood seems to have improved.

Of course, she also found that Ye Bai was gone.

Huomingzhu saw that she was awake and gently stroked her forehead, whispering: "When it gets light, we'll come over. He left! He probably didn't want you to see him when you woke up."

Lu You's face was pressed against the pillow, silently.

Huo Mingzhu said again, "Come on up and eat something! The cook at home got up early to make it. We also sent some to Mrs. Li's place. Mrs. Li felt embarrassed and said she was going to make a few of her specialty dishes for you."

Lu You smiled faintly: "Don't, let her take care of Uncle Li!"

Huo Mingzhu nodded: "Yes! It's not easy either! There are still children at home who need to go to school. At this time, it's impossible to spare people. When things are critical, they still think of you."

……

The mother and daughter thus conversed in hushed tones, speaking of intimate matters.

As they were speaking, Huo Mingzhu raised the bed.

He also took care of washing up and fed her a small bowl of meat porridge, as well as some supplements for pregnant women.

Lu You ate it, and it felt so much better!

She was more lively now, and the mother-daughter pair inevitably spoke of Ye Bai... Lu You paused for a moment before honestly saying, "After last night, both emotionally and logically, I can't treat him the same way as before. But to say we are together seems forced! Mom, I don't want to force myself."

Huo Mingzhu supported her decision.

She smoothed the blanket over her daughter and said, "Your brother also said to let you decide for yourself."

Lu You was deeply grateful to his family.

Just then, Lu Xun came over. Her expression lightened slightly after she pushed the door open —

Because she wasn't alone.

She met Zhang Baiyan and Qin Yu in the hospital. Qin Yu was probably pregnant and came for a check-up... I don't know where they heard about Lu You's hospitalization, saying they were here to visit.

Lu Xun: How can I visit like this!

Aren't they supposed to be getting married It's awkward for his old lover to come visit him at this time, isn't it And Zhang Baiyan doesn't seem to object either.

Lu Xun thinks it's really puzzling for this unmarried couple!

Indeed, Lu You was very surprised to see Zhang Baiyan and Qin Yu.

What is all this about Who came up with this idea

The atmosphere in the ward was tense.

"In the end, it was Qin Yu who spoke first. She said softly, 'Lu You, seeing that you're alright makes me feel at ease! This morning, Bai Yan received a call saying that you were hospitalized, and both he and I were very worried. Since we're coming to the hospital anyway, let's come take a look.'"

After she finished speaking, she looked at Zhang Baiyan.

Zhang Baiyan kept his handwritten note in his pocket and remained silent.

Qin Yu didn't mind. She was still gentle and polite: "Bai Yan, you chat with her for a while, I'll go get the prenatal checkup form."

She was about to leave, but Zhang Baiyan reached out and grabbed her slender wrist.

But Qin Yu gently broke free, she smiled faintly: "Stay here, talking with you would also help Lu You pass the time. I'm fine on my own."

Chapter Baiyan's eyes were deep.

Qin Yu walked hurriedly, even clumsily. She was pregnant and about to get married, but there wasn't a hint of joy on her face. She looked thinner than before...

As she reached the door, she started to vomit for the first time.

She vomited painfully for a long time, then covered her chest and began to hate herself. She shouldn't have involved Lu You in this mess. So Zhang Baiyan was angry just now, right!

But, to whom should she vent her anger to!

If she had known earlier, that Zhang Baiyan had a personal secretary who looked 80% like Lu You, if she had known that Zhang Baiyan brought that secretary with him everywhere, if she had known they had an agreement, she definitely wouldn't have married him or even gotten pregnant.

What agreement!

It's not exactly a sugar daddy situation, but it's pretty close...

That secretary signed a long-term contract; she couldn't get married, couldn't date, and she couldn't even socialize with men. And Zhang Baiyan provided her with a set of houses worth 20 million yuan and an annual salary of 5 million yuan.

Is there a difference between dating a wealthy man and being supported by one

It is said that Zhang Baiyan won't stay overnight there, but occasionally, they have private dinners... or go on trips.

This kind of relationship is not a sugar daddy/sugar baby arrangement.

More like love.

The female secretary acts as Lu You's stand-in and pretends to be in a relationship with Zhang Baiyan on Lu You's behalf.

This kind of relationship makes Qin Yu sick!

She wanted to break up, but the wedding was only 10 days away, and she was pregnant. She couldn't imagine how Zhang Baiyan could sleep with her while also traveling to Japan with his female secretary last month.

And she, knew who he had in his heart.

She used Lu You, she used Lu You to disgust Zhang Baiyan, but such a self also made her sick... Qin Yu stood in front of the bathroom mirror, looking at herself.

How could she have become like this...

A figure stood behind her, her future husband and the father of her unborn child.

Qin Yu lowered her eyes and asked softly, "Did you finish so quickly Is it because with the arrival of a new person, the old love is no longer as important The new lover is young and gentle, making Zhang always linger"gether, for example, when needed on weekends, the two of them would turn off the lights and do a few things...Talking about feelings is exhausting!But he soon realized that Wen Man wasn't just having...
