Chapter 751 Childhood Sweetheart Marries Her Brother in Revenge, Then Regrets It (28)
"Senior, I'm pregnant."
Jiang Wanqing gently touched her belly, her expression tender and appreciative.
But the smugness in his eyes was impossible to hide.
She looked at Lu Ting, who was kneeling there, her voice soft and full of heartache:
"Lu Ting, I know you blame me, but for the sake of the child, can you try to start over with me?"
Lu Ting stared at her intently, his teeth grinding together.
He really didn't expect Jiang Wanqing to pull such a move.
No wonder she said she didn't want any compensation after leaving the Lu family that time.
He thought that Jiang Wanqing had finally had a change of heart and realized that matters of the heart cannot be forced.
Little did he know, this was where they were waiting for him.
Lu Ting had initially firmly believed that he had not touched her, but faced with the current situation, he was somewhat flustered.
How could I be pregnant...?
But no matter what, he couldn't marry her.
Seeing that another fight was about to break out, Mu Zhou quietly moved away from the battlefield.
Lu Chen arrived somewhat late.
He looked straight ahead, his expression unchanged, and stood directly next to Mu Zhou.
He unbuttoned his suit jacket and loosened his tie, his gaze towards Lu Ting and Jiang Wanqing somewhat cold.
Mu Zhou instinctively hooked her arm around his and tilted her head on his shoulder:
"Honey, what should we do? Jiang Wanqing is pregnant, but Lu Ting doesn't want to marry her."
Lu Chen placed his palm over Mu Zhou's hand, his tone slow and leisurely:
"Then let's give birth first, and talk about marriage later."
Everyone was taken aback, their expressions varying.
Jiang Wanqing's face turned pale. She subconsciously wanted to deny it, but in the end she kept her mouth shut.
Lu Ting's resistance exceeded her expectations. She knew that continuing like this would not lead to any good results, so she might as well slow down.
She remained silent, which was taken as tacit agreement.
Lu Ting's eyes were bloodshot. "I disagree," he said bitterly, not daring to gamble on whether the child was actually his. "This child was unwanted. His existence is a mistake, a sin!"
"Lu Ting!"
Old Master Lu scolded him.
After all, he is a descendant of the Lu family; how can he be described as a sinner?
Lu Ting ignored it and stared intently at Jiang Wanqing's stomach.
That look sent chills down Jiang Wanqing's spine.
She instinctively hid behind Old Master Lu.
Another debate ensued.
Ultimately, the matter was temporarily resolved as Lu Chen had suggested.
Jiang Wanqing stayed at the Lu family home to prepare for childbirth, hoping to cultivate a relationship with Lu Ting so that he might soften his heart after the child was born.
We'll consider marriage later.
Jiang Wanqing thought she would be assigned to one of the Lu family's remote villas, but she didn't expect to be assigned directly to the Lu family's residence, which was somewhat beyond her expectations.
It seems that the Lu family does value the child in her womb.
She could hardly hide her excitement.
After a long silence, Lu Ting suddenly looked at the family doctor beside him:
"Can paternity tests be done during pregnancy? When is the earliest I can get one?"
Before the family doctor could speak, Jiang Wanqing suddenly cried out in a shrill voice:
"no!"
Seeing that everyone was looking at her, she quickly changed to a sad and aggrieved expression:
"My pregnancy isn't very stable because I'm in a bad mood. There's a risk of miscarriage when I do a paternity test during pregnancy. I know you have concerns. You can do the test after the baby is born, I don't mind. But during this pregnancy, can't you just let me take good care of myself?"
Lu Ting completely ignored him:
"I've heard that the latest technology won't harm the fetus."
Jiang Wanqing was clearly alarmed upon hearing this, as it was completely different from the information she had previously found.
Just then, Lu's mother spoke up:
“Paternity testing can be done anytime, so why rush it? If it really does harm the fetus, then it would be a loss.”
Lu's mother understood very well that if the child wasn't her son's, then it had absolutely nothing to do with their family.
They are not responsible for being born.
She will also make Jiang Wanqing pay the price for her deception.
Being born is entirely beneficial to them.
Jiang Wanqing sobbed softly, feeling wronged, and finally, Old Master Lu made the final decision:
"Take care of the fetus first."
That's how it was settled.
Apart from Lu Ting, everyone else's expressions had improved considerably.
Seeing Jiang Wanqing breathe a sigh of relief, Mu Zhou suddenly tugged at Lu Chen's sleeve, his voice filled with concern:
“Honey, Jiang Wanqing and I are friends after all. Since her pregnancy isn’t very stable, you should find some professionals to take care of her.”
Lu Chen looked at Mu Zhou.
Her eyes and brows were charming and alluring, yet also sly.
The moment their eyes met, he nodded and replied in a steady voice:
"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to watch over you 24 hours a day. There will be absolutely no accidents."
Given Lu Chen's usual style, he never makes a mistake in doing what he promises.
He said he wouldn't allow any accidents to happen, so Jiang Wanqing's delivery will definitely be safe.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Wanqing's face turned pale. Before she could refuse, the couple had already made up their minds.
She was somewhat annoyed:
"No need, I'll be perfectly fine at the Lu family's place..."
Before she could finish speaking, Mu Zhou pulled Lu Chen to his feet:
"Grandpa, we'll be going now. Lu Chen probably still has work to do."
Grandpa Lu landed on the two people's clasped hands.
Mu Zhou's obvious intimacy, and Lu Chen's serious and composed face, made Old Master Lu think of his grandson's past work.
He said to Lu Chen in an annoyed tone:
"Don't just focus on work, spend more time with your wife too."
“I know, Grandpa.”
Lu Chen agreed quickly, unusually without any rebuttal or silence.
Mu Zhou's eyes flickered, and he said smoothly:
"How about we go see a movie?"
Lu Chen would never refuse.
His bottom line, which used to prioritize work above all else, has long been shattered by the appearance of Mu Zhou.
Therefore, he did not hesitate at all:
"it is good."
Mu Zhou's eyes lit up:
"Hurry up, hurry up, there's still time, we can catch the next movie."
She also made sure to say to Old Master Lu and Lu's parents:
"Grandpa, Mom, Dad, let's go see a movie first. We haven't had a proper date since we got married. Today is such a good day, and the timing is perfect."
The topic suddenly shifted, and Jiang Wanqing was instantly ignored; it was too late for her to interject.
Old Master Lu waved his hand:
"Go ahead, young people should go out more."
Lu's mother smiled and told Mu Zhou to have fun.
Today's events turned out to be within her acceptable range, and Lu's mother was in a good mood.
Only Jiang Wanqing and Lu Ting were worried about different things.
*
In the movie theater, Mu Zhou familiarly bought tickets, selected seats, and then bought popcorn and milk tea.
This was certainly not Lu Chen's first time at the movie theater.
But this was his first time in the lovers' room.
The upscale couples' lounge wasn't crowded; people were scattered around.
Watching Mu Zhou expertly guide him to the place, Lu Chen lowered his eyes and adjusted his glasses.
Behind the glasses, an emotion called jealousy slowly spread in the depths of his eyes.
He thought that as a mature man, he could certainly not care about Mu Zhou and Lu Ting's past.
That's a waste of time and completely unnecessary.
In fact, this matter cannot be resolved rationally.
His emotions were already guiding his entire being.
Just like this moment.
