Jiang Xuxu pressed her hand against his chest and apologized, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. You have to go to work tomorrow, so get some rest."

"One person calls it rest, two people call it sleep."

Gu Jingshen gently kissed the corner of her lips, then pulled her into his arms and she fell asleep.

After a short rest, Jiang Xuxu got up at 7 o'clock to wash up and go out.

Today she's going to her partner's location to discuss product details, and she can catch up on an hour of sleep on the bus.

Gu Jingshen originally said that Qin Feng would drive her there, but Qin Feng was his assistant, not his own.

Jiang Xuxu didn't want to rely on him too much; after all, she had to walk her own path.

The bus arrived at Kunshan South Station at 8:30.

The sun is shining brightly here, which is much more refreshing than the gloomy weather in the north of the city!

She walked out of the station into the warm sunshine and took a taxi to the meeting place agreed upon with her guest.

At the Half-Mountain Restaurant, Jiang Xuxu waited in a private room.

As if they knew she hadn't eaten breakfast, they rushed over and even arranged for a waiter to bring her breakfast.

"Hello Ms. Jiang, Mr. Lu will be arriving later. This is the breakfast he asked us to prepare for you. Please enjoy."

It sounds like a regular customer.

"Thanks."

The waiter closed the door and left, and Jiang Xuxu began to savor the food on the table.

This shop is a century-old establishment, with its main store in the northern part of the city. Their oatmeal porridge is exceptional, especially when paired with Siberian bread.

It's absolutely delicious!

She was enjoying her meal when someone suddenly pushed open the door and entered.

Jiang Xuxu suddenly stood up, still with a mouthful of bread in her mouth, and almost choked.

"Xuxu, you left so early, why didn't you wait for me?"

"The road is sinking!"

Jiang Xuxu was shocked. "How did you get here?"

Lu Chen gave a wicked smile, put down his briefcase, and sat down naturally opposite her, a smile playing on his lips.

"Of course I'm here to accompany you on this business trip."

Jiang Xuxu's mind raced through President Li's instructions, but she couldn't remember him saying that Lu Chen had to come too!

"It's like this, the cooperation project between Lu's and Chuanhe was interrupted last time, but now there is an opportunity to cooperate again. President Li attaches great importance to this and specially sent me to help you."

Jiang Xuxu laughed in exasperation.

This isn't helping her; it's clearly harming her.

"Alright, Mr. Lu will be here soon. We need to work together. President Li said we should cultivate a good relationship with Mr. Lu these next few days, so we don't end up like before... It's all in the past, let's not talk about it anymore."

Lu Chen, talking to himself, cut a piece of bread from the table and held it to Jiang Xuxu's mouth.

"Try it. You used to always queue up for breakfast at the North City flagship store every time you got your bonus. How was it? Was the taste anything special?"

"Ugh~"

The thought that the delicious breakfast she had just enjoyed was actually prepared by Lu Chen made Jiang Xuxu feel nauseous and want to vomit.

So the "Mr. Lu" the waiter was talking about was this bastard!

She turned around and grabbed the trash can with obvious discomfort, as if she wanted to vomit up everything she had eaten.

Seeing this, Lu Chen quickly poured a glass of warm water and handed it to her. "Xuxu, are you alright? Did you choke because you ate too fast?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to realize something, and his brows furrowed.

"Wait a minute, Jiang Xuxu, I remember you didn't find their food repulsive!"

Jiang Xuxu clutched her heaving chest and glared at him fiercely. "I don't feel nauseous at the sight of food, but some people make me feel disgusted!"

So she was disgusted with herself?

Lu Chen sneered, her tone laced with a hint of coquetry: "Don't take my kindness for granted. Besides me, who else in this world remembers your preferences?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xuxu immediately turned around and vomited.

I was already feeling unwell after a one-hour bus ride, and then I had to run into this disgusting thing!

"Xuxu...you, you don't look like you have an upset stomach..."

The road sinking was a metaphorical statement.

"What do you mean?" Jiang Xuxu angrily pushed him away.

Based on the timeline, they had sex about seven or eight times in those three months, and Gu Jingshen took precautions each time.

The only time I didn't do it was last time when I was drunk and I pounced on him, and then...

forget!

"impossible."

Jiang Xuxu has been staying up late for a long time, and her period has always been irregular; it's estimated that it's already a week late.

She secretly groaned, wondering if she had really gotten infected.

"Jiang Xuxu... How come I never knew you were so shameless?"

You're so desperate that you've moved in with that man? You've only known him for a short time! That man is no good at all!

Seeing her pale face, Lu Chen had already guessed what was going on, and the desire that had been flashing in his eyes was instantly replaced by anger.

Jiang Xuxu raised her eyes and retorted angrily, "He's not a good person, and what kind of good person do you think you are?!"

She didn't want to bother with him on someone else's turf, but Lu Chen couldn't insult Gu Jingshen.

"You're still protecting that wild man?" Lu Chen slammed his fist on the table in anger.

Jiang Xuxu got up and walked towards the restroom, with Lu Chen following closely behind.

"Don't follow me!"

Lu Chen quickly stepped forward and grabbed her hand, saying urgently, "No, you have to come with me to the hospital for a check-up right now, Xuxu, you can't..."

"open!"

She shook off Lu Chen's hand and quickly took out her phone to send Gu Jingshen her location.

Before I could even type, Lu Chen snatched the phone away.

In the hallway, he pinned her against the wall and demanded, "Are you still sleeping with him? How many times a month do you two do it?"

"Lu Chen, you're hurting me! Let go..."

Lu Chen looked at the nickname on his phone screen: Fake Husband.

He sneered, "So the marriage you were talking about was a lie! Jiang Xuxu, how can you be so shameless? You slept with someone before marriage and even got pregnant with his bastard child!"

What about your principles? What about your bottom line regarding premarital sex?

Lu Chen, enraged, grabbed her collar and demanded, "I've waited for you patiently for seven years, and you really slept with a guy you just met? Jiang Xuxu!"

He was so angry that he punched the wall, which frightened Jiang Xuxu.

"Lu Chen, don't be impulsive. We broke up a long time ago. Stop bothering me..."

"Break up? I already said that if I don't agree, it's not a breakup."

Lu Chen suppressed his emotions, then put on an ugly smile and pretended to be tolerant.

"It's okay. I already knew you two slept together. I don't mind. If you get rid of the child, we can still start over."

He pleaded, and Jiang Xuxu just hoped that Gu Jingshen could understand what she meant.

However, it is a full kilometer from Beicheng to Kunshan, and it takes at least forty minutes to drive there.

She needs to stabilize the road first.

"Lu, Lu Chen, you've misunderstood. I just had an upset stomach, that's not it..."

"Really, Xuxu? I knew it, you couldn't really let me go..."

He grabbed Jiang Xuxu's hand and slid it down her arm to his palm, then squatted down on one knee and muttered to himself.

"Whether you're pregnant with that bastard's child or not, once I have money and power, I can give you everything that man could give you..."

He naively believed that Jiang Xuxu would turn back to him and wait for him as devotedly as before.

"Mr. Lu, you have quite the big mouth."

In the dim light, two tall figures loomed over the corridor.

A burning gaze swept over Lu Chen, who was holding Jiang Xuxu's hand, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly got up.

"husband."

Jiang Xuxu pushed him away and ran quickly to Gu Jingshen's side, her eyes filled with tears.

Lu Chen's sinister gaze fell upon the pitiful face in the man's arms.

She actually called him husband!

Gu Jingshen bent down and gently brushed the stray hairs from her forehead, his smile tender and affectionate: "Don't be afraid, my wife, I'm here."

His gaze then turned to Lu Chen, filled with the question, "Mr. Lu, how many lines do you have left to cut?"
