Jing Shao is infertile, but his nanny is pregnant with his child.

Lu Yan nodded, "Absolutely."

As she spoke, Lu Yan handed the jewelry box to He Yuejin, then put the bracelet from her wrist inside, and said to him, "Before the bank closes for the day, could you put it in the safe for me?"

This wasn't the first time He Yuejin had helped her put things in the safe.

Over the years, the two of them have made a lot of money, and most of it has been deposited by his older sister in a bank in the port city.

Lu Yan used the money to buy old items, mostly gold.

I don't know why she bought so much gold; she couldn't possibly wear all of it to make jewelry.

Every time she bought something, she would have him store it in a bank safe deposit box, and she would keep the key with him, worried that Li Guiying and the others would find out.

He Yuejin: "Leave it to me."

Lu Yan hummed in agreement, then said, "Give me the key after you've put it away. I'd like to go check on it in a couple of days."

He Yuejin didn't think much of it and said, "Okay."

After He Yuejin left, Zhou Yanxing became somewhat anxious for his third brother.

"Sister Yan, how could you entrust something so valuable to an outsider?"

And it doesn't look like the first time.

Sister Yan must have too much faith in any kind of leap forward.

Lu Yan: "We've worked together for many years, and I know his character."

Hearing this, Zhou Yanxing became even more worried, so he said, "Sister Yan, no matter how much you trust him, he is still an outsider. Once he has a girlfriend and gets married, he will have selfish motives. Even one item he takes from the safe is worth a lot of money."

This was the first time Zhou Yanxing had ever tried to sow discord, and he felt incredibly guilty.

But thinking of his third brother, Zhou Yanxing decided to go all the way and be the bad guy. "If your garment factory goes out of business in the future and you become useless to him, he'll probably take your things. You have to understand, people can change."

Watching Zhou Yanxing's earnest yet clumsy attempt to sow discord, Lu Yan wanted to laugh but held it back. "Okay, I understand."

Zhou Yanxing thought she had taken his words to heart and continued, "Sister Yan, once you get the key back, don't give it to him again."

Lu Yan teased him on purpose, "I'm afraid I'll lose it."

"Then let my third brother keep it for you," Zhou Yanxing began to strongly recommend Zhou Yanchen. "My third brother has a stable monthly salary and is an upright man who would never spend a penny of a woman's money! Unlike He Yuejin, who would be unemployed without the garment factory."

Lu Yan finally couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Okay."

The two spent more than an hour shopping at the department store before they finally bought everything they needed.

As he walked out of the department store, He Yuejin was waiting outside, carrying Lu Yaguang's favorite snacks and handing him the key to the safe.

Lu Yan didn't stand on ceremony and took it from him.

He Yuejin looked at her and said, "The New Year is coming soon. When are you planning to go home for the New Year? My older sister called me a few days ago to ask if Ya Guang's bread uniform was too small. If it was, she would bring him another one."

Lu Yan didn't know how to reply.

After Zhou Yanchen 'accidentally' tore her bread-like clothes, she wanted to mend them so that she could wear them interchangeably with the new ones Zhou Yanchen bought for Lu Yaguang. However, Lu Yaguang only wore them for one day before Zhou Yanchen tore them again.

She could only patch it once more; if she remembered correctly, that bread-patterned shirt now had five or six patches.

The down inside has mostly escaped.

Lu Yan knew Zhou Yanchen's little scheme and didn't want to cause any more trouble, so she put the bread jacket away.

Lu Yan pursed her lips. "Go back on the morning of the 28th of the twelfth lunar month and tell Sister Yao Yao that it will be warm after the New Year. Children grow quickly, so we don't need to bring their bread clothes anymore."

Even if they brought it, Zhou Yanchen tore it to shreds.

He Yuejin nodded. "Okay, I'll pick you up that day."

Before Lu Yan could speak, Zhou Yanxing interjected, "I'll take Sister Yan home, no need to trouble you."

They need to know where Sister Yan lives, and they also need to prevent Sister Yan from having much contact with He Yuejin.

He Yuejin looked at Lu Yan.

Lu Yan: "We'll see. I'll call you in advance if I need you to pick me up."

He Yuejin hummed in agreement, "Okay, I'm not busy lately, I'm free anytime, so let's talk about next year's spring clothes."

Lu Yan: "I know."

Zhou Yanxing opened the car door and urged her, "Sister Yan, we should go home."

As long as he's around, he'll never give Sister Yan and He Yuejin a chance to develop feelings for each other!

He Yuejin glanced at him, a slight smile playing on his lips, and said half-jokingly, "Fourth Young Master, are you in such a hurry to get home because your house is on fire?"

Zhou Yan choked for a moment.

Lu Yan said from the side, "I should go back and cook. You should go back too."

He Yuejin hummed in agreement and turned to leave.

Lu Yan sat in the front, and Zhou Yanxing said as he drove, "Sister Yan, I'll drive you back the day you go. Comrade He Yuejin is busy, and I'm just sitting at home doing nothing anyway, so there's no need to trouble others."

Lu Yan: "Okay, whichever of you is free that day can take me."

As the jeep drove towards the compound, Lu Yan was about to get out and ask them if they had prepared their New Year's goods when it suddenly braked hard. Lu Yan's vision blurred and she was thrown forward.

Lu Yan instinctively reached out to protect her forehead.

With a thud, it still bumped into something in front of it.

Lu Yan gasped in pain. Her finger joints burned from the impact. She felt as if her joints were dislocated. Her hands ached all over, and she couldn't immediately pinpoint the exact location of the pain.

Suddenly, a muffled groan of discomfort reached her ears, and Lu Yan hurriedly looked towards the driver's seat.

Zhou Yanxing's forehead was cut open, and his nose was flattened; two streaks of red blood flowed from his nostrils.

Lu Yan softened her breathing. "Zhou Yanxing, how are you?"

Hearing Lu Yan's anxiety, Zhou Yanxing, despite the pain, turned to look at her. "Sister Yan, I'm fine. Are you alright?"

Lu Yan: "I'm fine, why did you brake?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the car window banged loudly. Lu Yan looked over and saw a girl with a pure and innocent appearance.

The girl looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, and she was banging on the car window anxiously.

Lu Yan sat up straight, glanced down at her bleeding hand, and looked outside. "Zhou Yanxing, who is she?"

Zhou Yanxing felt as if his nose was broken and he had suffered a concussion.

He took a breath, didn't reply to Lu Yan, slowly looked outside, and pushed open the car door.

As the car door opened, before Zhou Yanxing could even get out, the girl grabbed his arm, her voice choked with sobs, "Yanxing, Yanxing, I was wrong, please don't ignore me."

Zhou Yanxing tried to break free from her hand, but the girl held onto his arm tightly. Looking at the girl with red eyes, he felt a pang of pity, but remembering what he had heard that day, Zhou Yanxing lowered his head and said, "We're not a good match. You should go back first. It won't be good for your reputation if someone sees you like this."
