Training the Heavens

Chapter 16 Xie Meilan is pregnant

"Why are you here?" Shang Fuxian spoke almost at the same time as him.

"I live here!"

"Ah? What a coincidence! I live here too! Why haven't I seen you before?" Shang Fuxian couldn't help but smile, his eyes full of surprise.

She originally thought that it was just a chance encounter with Shen Lei. Although she also had Shen Lei's WeChat, she was too reserved to take the initiative to send a message. So even though she picked up her phone and clicked on Shen Lei's WeChat many times, she still didn't send a message.

Unexpectedly, when she got home from get off work today, she met him at the gate of the community. Moreover, they lived in the same community. If Shen Lei had not been in front of her and there were not so many people around, she would probably have jumped for joy.

The same was true for Shen Lei. He had opened Shang Fuxian's WeChat chat box many times, but he didn't say hello because he had just divorced. Now that he met him at his doorstep, his heart began to pound.

How could he know that Shang Fuxian did live here originally, and Na Wei rented a house here because of Ma Yingjie's words, in order to create opportunities for them. This community is not big, and even if they don't meet today, they will run into each other after a while.

"I just moved here a few days ago." Shen Lei looked at Shang Fuxian and hesitated to speak.

Shang Fuxian said openly, "I see. Then you must not know what delicious places are nearby, right? Didn't you like the Spanish mackerel dumplings last time? There's a small shop nearby that makes some pretty good ones. Come on, I'll take you there!"

"Isn't it a bit too troublesome?" Shen Lei was actually already tempted.

"It's okay. I haven't eaten yet anyway. We can have a meal together and chat at the same time! See it? It's that store. It's just two steps away!" Shang Fuxian raised his hand and pointed to a small store a hundred meters away.

It would be inappropriate for Shen Lei to refuse now that they had come this far. "Okay, go order the food first, I'll come over after I park the car!"

He quickly rode his bike into the community and parked it, then walked quickly into the small restaurant, fearing that Shang Fuxian would wait too long.

"Here, here!" As soon as he entered, he saw Shang Fuxian waving at him, and he hurried over and sat down opposite him.

After ordering the dishes, the two of them started eating while talking and laughing. Both sides felt inexplicably happy. After eating, they took a walk together for a while before returning to the community, and then they found that they were still living in the front and back rows.

After returning home, the two of them lay on the bed and giggled for a long time. Even on the next day, they were still happy about yesterday's reunion.

In this way, the two of them first talked when they met occasionally in the community, went to a small restaurant near the community to eat together, and then began to chat on WeChat. Sometimes Shang Fuxian would take the initiative to ask him if he wanted to have dinner together in the evening before getting off work.

On weekends, Shang Fuxian would invite him to see some exhibitions that they were both interested in. There were many such activities in Beijing. After going together a few times, even if Shen Lei was slow to react, he should have understood that Shang Fuxian had a good impression of him.

At this time, Shen Lei hesitated because he was a divorced man. If Shang Fuxian minded these things, wouldn't it delay him?

He was reluctant to part with Shang Fuxian, but he was even more unwilling to deceive her. After thinking for a few days, Shen Lei made up his mind. He asked Shang Fuxian to go to the Shandong restaurant to eat鲅鱼蛋蓮 dumplings together. While eating dumplings, he talked about the reason why he went to Shandong and brought up the fact that he was divorced.

At first, Shang Fuxian was indeed stunned, and her eyes were obviously dim, which made Shen Lei feel distressed. She couldn't help but ask Shen Lei about the reason for the divorce. Shen Lei didn't put all the blame on Xie Meilan, but just said that he had no ability and could not provide Xie Meilan with a better life.

As she listened, Shang Fuxian's frown slowly relaxed. She could clearly feel that what Shen Lei said was true. Even if there were some things he didn't mention occasionally, he didn't want to say bad things about others behind their backs.

If the divorce was caused by Shen Lei's character problems, she would definitely cut off contact between the two, but now even if Shen Lei deliberately defended her, she still felt that Xie Meilan was to blame for their divorce.

In this case, there is no need to worry too much, and even a strong pity surged. What did Shen Lei do wrong? Why should he endure such grievances?
After this incident, the relationship between the two not only did not become distant, but became closer. Shang Fuxian heard that he used to be responsible for cooking at home, so he clamored to try Shen Lei's cooking skills and was very satisfied after tasting it.

From then on, every few days, Shang Fuxian would ask Shen Lei if she wanted to eat something, then buy the food and go to Shen Lei's house to ask him to cook. Occasionally, she would try to cook it herself, but she didn't cook as often as Shen Lei, so the taste was average.

But she will take note of Shen Lei's advice, go back and try it slowly on her own, and the next time she comes to cook this dish, it will taste much better!
After dinner, the two of them washed the pot and dishes together, poured a glass of wine, and found a movie that they both were interested in to watch. Although neither of them talked much while watching the movie, they felt particularly warm.

After watching the movie, they chatted for a while about their opinions on the movie, then sent Shang Fuxian to the door of the apartment building, and then went back home to wash up and lie on the bed. Shen Lei couldn't help thinking that this was his ideal life.

The two of them made rapid progress, and Xie Meilan and Lu Jie were not slow either. Lu Jie continued to carry out his plan according to the earliest plan.

The previous experience of drinking tea caused some minor troubles to his plan, but as long as the money was in place and the temptation was big enough, there would always be people willing to take the bait. Lu Jie simply put the company's affairs aside these days, flying around the country, contacting all kinds of people, and looking for suitable targets for his plan.

Lu Jie started to get busy, so he naturally had less time to spend with Xie Meilan, which made Xie Meilan even more worried. She seized every opportunity to increase her sense of security, which made Lu Jie a little scared when he saw her.

He is already in his forties. Even if he takes good care of himself, he cannot withstand the fierce and ferocious attacks. What's more, Xie Meilan is not good-looking and has no appeal to someone like him who has seen and experienced everything.

But in order to appease Xie Meilan and let her be the legal person of the company at ease, Lu Jie had no choice but to endure it! Well, for the sake of money, just barely get through this period!
When I get the money in the future, I will kick her out as soon as possible!
Xie Meilan’s hard work finally paid off. That day, she saw the two long-awaited bars on the pregnancy test stick she had hidden, and the same thing happened when she tested the next day.

It happened that Lu Jie went out of town these days, so she quickly found a hospital far away from the company and Lu Jie's home for a check-up. The doctor told her that she was indeed pregnant, but because she had had a miscarriage before, there was a certain impact, and she had to be carefully taken care of.

If she has a miscarriage this time, it will be difficult for her to get pregnant again in the future.

Xie Meilan wrote down everything, and when she came out of the hospital, she took out her cell phone and wanted to tell Lu Jie the good news, but she came to her senses as soon as she opened her phone.

No, we can't let him know now!
