Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Once he left, Zhu Sui and Shen Yu couldn’t be bothered to stay and followed him.
After Liang Xun came out, he called Jing Yao.
“Liang Xun, aren’t you attending a banquet?” Jing Yao asked in confusion.
Liang Xun said without changing his expression, “The banquet is over. Are you done eating? I’ll pick you up.”
Jing Yao said in a low voice, “It’s fine. Lingling will send me back.”
Liang Xun’s eyes darkened. He said helplessly, “Alright, eat slowly. I’ll hang up first.”
After saying that, he hung up. Jing Yao opened her mouth slightly, feeling a little helpless.
Was Liang Xun angry? Or sad? Perhaps both?
However, he had indeed been too intimate with her recently. They were not really husband and wife, so they should keep a distance, right?
Zhu Ling, who was sitting opposite her, saw the change in Jing Yao’s mood. Thinking of the person she had just called, she frowned slightly and said angrily, “Did Liang Xun scold you? I told you that rich people like them have very bad tempers. He’s angry because you didn’t do what he wanted. It’s better for you to leave him as soon as possible.”
Jing Yao hurriedly shook her head. “No, Liang Xun has never scolded me.”
Zhu Ling looked puzzled. “Then what’s wrong with you?”
Jing Yao did not hide anything from her and told her what happened just now.
Zhu Ling was speechless. “Do you think Liang Xun is sad because of your rejection?”
Jing Yao nodded, put down her cell phone, picked up her chopsticks, and poked around in the bowl.
Zhu Ling opened her mouth to say something, but her phone rang. She could only answer it first.
On the other side, Zhu Sui watched helplessly as Liang Xun hung up in disappointment. After hanging up, the disappointment on his face disappeared without a trace.
“Call your sister now and ask where they’re eating now.”
Zhu Sui said,”… You’re really good at pretending. However, let me remind you first. Pregnant women will be more emotional during pregnancy. Sometimes, they will let one’s imagination run wild. Many postpartum depressions happen like this.”
Liang Xun’s expression changed. He said in shock, “Why didn’t you say so earlier?”
Zhu Sui chuckled. “It’s in the pregnancy notice booklet 1 sent you. I even specially marked it black for you. Being depressed often will affect the baby’s health.”
Liang Xun’s face darkened completely. Not only had he read the manual seriously, but he had also memorized it all. Recently, he had been following it. It was just that Jing Yao had been avoiding him, intentionally or unintentionally. He wanted to stimulate her a little and improve their relationship.
“Hurry up and make a call,” Liang Xun urged him.
Zhu Sui and Shen Yu looked at each other and smiled before calling Zhu Ling.
Zhu Ling didn’t want her brother to come over at first, but when she saw Jing Yao, who was in low spirits, she still sent her brother her location.
Half an hour later, the three of them walked into the private room.
Jing Yao was slightly shocked to see Liang Xun. Then, she looked at him in a daze.
Liang Xun smiled at her. “Zhu Sui happened to be looking for her sister, so we came together.”
Jing Yao nodded and observed carefully. She heaved a sigh of relief when she realized that Liang Xun was in a normal mood. He was neither angry nor disappointed.
Shen Yu took off his glasses, hat, and mask as soon as he came in. Then he shouted at Jing Yao with a smile, “Hello, Sister-in-law. We meet again.”
Jing Yao greeted him with a smile. She accepted this form of address well. After all, it had been so long.
Zhu Ling had already seen Shen Yu at the last birthday banquet, but they were not close. She smiled and greeted Shen Yu before looking at Liang Xun with a smile. “You guys haven’t eaten yet, right? 1 got someone to add a few dishes. Do you want to eat together?”
Liang Xun frowned slightly. For some reason, he felt that Zhu Ling was up to no good.
However, there was nothing to be afraid of. He nodded and sat beside Jing Yao naturally.
After sitting down, he asked softly, “Are you full?”
Jing Yao shook her head honestly.
Liang Xun frowned slightly. “Not to your liking?”
Jing Yao said, “No, I don’t dare to eat too much, or I’ll throw up.”
A trace of heartache flashed across Liang Xun’s eyes. He raised his hand and touched Jing Yao’s head. “Bear with it. I’ll make it for you again when we get home. You have to eat less but more frequently now.”
Jing Yao nodded obediently..
