Zhu Yiming suddenly laughed, "This little girl is quite interesting! Much better than some people with sky-high IQs!" He spoke sarcastically, then stood up and said, "Don’t call me here so casually anymore. Is letting other men know this about your wife something to be proud of?"
Lu Beichen sighed with furrowed eyebrows, "I must emphasize again, I didn’t ask you to come!"
Li Yi finally spoke weakly, "I thought the lady had some issue, so I called Doctor Zhu on my own!"
Lu Beichen shot a cold look, staring straight at him.
Li Yi awkwardly turned his back and asked gloomily, "Where’s young master? I’ll go look for the young master!"
He headed straight to Lu Sinian’s room, Lu Beichen sneered, "You better be able to get him out!"
Little Bun knew he messed things up and was hiding in the room, afraid to come out!
"Sister Tongtong?" Shen Congling called as she entered the room and then closed the door.
Ji Niandong, as if hearing a savior, responded from the bathroom, "Lingling?"
She replied and rushed to the bathroom with a bag, "Sister Tongtong, you’re still sitting on the toilet?"
She quickly pulled out the sanitary napkins she bought and handed them to her, "Well, now everyone knows your period’s here!"
Ji Niandong paused her hand, calmly finished up, and then got dressed before coming out, taking a deep breath, and asked, "Why did you come?"
"I was originally going..." She paused, "The handsome secretary asked me to bring sanitary napkins to you!"
She raised her eyebrow playfully, making Ji Niandong’s face darken further, "Lingling, isn’t this embarrassing?"
"A little!" Shen Congling laughed awkwardly a couple of times, "But I’d rather it be me, with so many handsome guys worrying for you!"
After speaking, she went over to hug her arm, and although no one was around, she quietly asked, "Sister Tongtong, who’s the top-notch handsome guy outside? Sure enough, the guys around brother-in-law are amazing—introduce him to me, introduce him to me!"
She nudged Ji Niandong, who asked puzzledly, "Who is it?"
Shen Congling pulled her to go outside; once in the living room, the atmosphere got even stranger.
Ji Niandong opened her mouth, Lu Beichen actually called Doctor Zhu here, is he not letting her have a life!
"Tongtong? You’re out?" Lu Beichen stood up to walk over to her, but she ignored him directly.
Trying hard to maintain composure, she went over to greet Zhu Yiming, "Doctor Zhu, you’ve come? Not busy today?"
Feigning ignorance, Ji Niandong’s face blushed, "Since you’re already here, I mentioned before I’d treat you to dinner, so how about today?"
Her heart was in turmoil, trying to break the awkwardness; Zhu Yiming was about to decline when Lu Beichen lightly coughed, prompting him to act nonchalant, "Sure, then I’ll look forward to tasting your cooking! Well... I’ll also go hang out with Nian Nian!"
Shen Congling released Ji Niandong’s arm and followed behind Zhu Yiming.
Ji Niandong’s expression changed, and she walked towards the door, "I’m going out to buy groceries!"
"I’ll go with you!" Lu Beichen silently followed.
Once inside the elevator, neither spoke, with Ji Niandong leaning against the wall, her gaze scattered.
It wasn’t until they were in the car that he leaned over to buckle her seatbelt, and she didn’t resist.
Lu Beichen then unconsciously let out a sigh of relief, "Earlier, I was too abrupt! Concern leads to chaos!"
Ji Niandong’s usually gentle brows shifted, and mentioning the earlier incident made her face darken again.
