Chapter 344: Chapter 341 Chapter 344: Chapter 341 Before the words were out, an instant hush descended upon the dining table.
Shen Lin, who was rolling up his shirt sleeves, was chatting with Lu Xiao, and upon hearing this, he, too, was suddenly stunned.
What, what, the child in her womb?
With a swish, his gaze shifted in that direction.
Of course, now that this goddess had become his sister-in-law, he naturally wouldn’t think too much about it, but he was completely shocked nonetheless.
Lu Xiao’s actions were too, too, too fast, and forceful!
Not even married yet, and he had already knocked her up!!
Unbearable. He couldn’t bear it!
Wen Xian’s smile at the corner of her lips also became slightly strained.
“Ah…? The child in my belly, this, ah, haha…” She let out an awkward laugh, her gaze uncomfortably shifting as she looked at Lu Xiao.
And Captain Lu, he averted his gaze and calmly continued discussing something with Shen Lin, vaguely mentioning something about shares.
Seeing his behavior, Wen Xian began to grind her teeth slightly.
The more she looked, the more she felt that something was wrong. He clearly looked like he was doing it on purpose, leaving her stranded here on purpose.
Turning back, she forced a smile at Lu Xiao’s mother’s earnest and caring eyes, and managed to muster, “Okay, I’ll eat.”
After saying this, she picked up the chicken leg and began to eat slowly.
But the truth was, she was really full, all the dishes made by Lu Xiao’s mother were her favorites.
“How is it? I stewed it all afternoon, how does it taste?”
Lu Xiao’s mother asked gently.
Wen Xian summoned all the professionalism of an actor and smiled, “Really delicious.”
However, no matter how sweetly she smiled on the surface, internally she was on the verge of tears.
There was no choice, Lu Xiao’s mother was so gentle and considerate, and she seriously believed that Wen Xian was pregnant.
This made it impossible for her to refuse the chicken leg in front of so many people.
Meanwhile, it was also impossible to tell her that she was not actually pregnant.
At most, she just had a cold, and her stomach was a bit upset.
While Wen Xian was struggling with the chicken leg, Lu Xiao’s mother suddenly stood up and left.
When she returned, she was holding a box.
She sat down and looked at Wen Xian with an utmost serious tone:
“Xiaoxian, actually, it was wrong of Lu Xiao to impregnate you, but regardless, you must believe that his father and I already consider you family.”
As these words were spoken, Wen Xian seemed to slowly realize something, and her expression became slightly fixed.
At this moment, Lu Xiao’s mother opened the dark brocade box.
The box appeared to be of extraordinary quality, indicating that its contents were no ordinary items.
Sure enough, Wen Xian’s heart quivered when she saw what was inside the box.
It turned out to be a Blood Jade Bracelet.
Its texture was subtle and smooth, with extremely good color and luster.
Truth be told, she also liked to buy some jewelry for her collection, but Blood Jade Bracelets were rare to come by. Previously, a collector in Hong Kong had revealed one, and it was immediately bought for 5.7 million.
And this one looked even better than that one.
Lu Xiao’s mother took the bracelet out of the box and then reached for Wen Xian’s left hand.
Wen Xian’s heart skipped a beat, and she quickly said, “No, Auntie, this is too precious.”
As she tried to withdraw her hand,
Lu Xiao’s mother gave her hand a gentle pat:
“What are you doing? This bracelet is an heirloom for the daughters-in-law of our family. If you don’t want it, should I give it to another woman? You should wear it.”
