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

When Zhou Jianguo returned home, Lu Yan was cooking in the kitchen.

At this moment, Lu Yan was quietly checking the soup in the pot. Perhaps the heat wasn't enough, so she glanced at it and put the lid back on before going to heat the pot again.

At this moment, he could not see any aggression in Lu Yan. If Wang Jin hadn't led him there, he would have seen the man with a flat nose, one hand that was purple and swollen, more than twice the size of the other.

The man said he was stepped on by a woman.

Based on the man's description, coupled with the fact that Lu Yan had gone out last night and her sudden aloof behavior this morning, he guessed that it was Lu Yan.

If he hadn't seen and heard it with his own eyes, he would never have connected the female Yama mentioned by those two people with Lu Yan in the kitchen.

Zhou Jianguo recalled the night Lu Yaguang went missing, when Lu Yan held a knife to her own mother's neck. At that time, he thought that Lu Yan had been driven to desperation and was willing to risk everything.

Looking back now, she was not a timid person.

Sure enough, his son's judgment was just as sharp as his own when he was young.

As if sensing that someone was watching her, Lu Yan suddenly looked over in this direction.

Their eyes met, and Zhou Jianguo nodded slightly to Lu Yan.

Lu Yan's eyelids twitched, and she stepped over.

"Sir, what's the matter?"

Zhou Jianguo: "It's nothing."

Lu Yan wisely refrained from asking further questions, "Okay, the food will be ready soon."

Zhou Jianguo said "okay".

Lu Yan turned and went to the kitchen.

Zhou Jianguo didn't linger and stepped into the living room.

After lunch, Zhou Yan went back to his room for a nap.

Lu Yan was about to take a nap when Zhou Jianguo suddenly called out to her.

"Xiao Lu, come out here for a moment, I have something to tell you."

Lu Yan paused, then slowly turned around to look at Zhou Jianguo.

She had only one thought in her mind.

Zhou Jianguo probably found out what she did last night, so he wanted to fire her.

Lu Yan blinked, smiled at Zhou Jianguo, and said, "Yes, sir."

Zhou Jianguo walked in front, and Lu Yan followed behind.

Zhou Jianguo sat down under a pavilion in the courtyard, looked up to meet Lu Yan's eyes, pointed to the bench next to him, and said, "Little Lu, sit down."

Lu Yan didn't sit down. "Chief, please just say what you have to say."

Zhou Jianguo stared into her eyes. "Xiao Lu, you've been with our family for almost two months now, haven't you?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yan became even more certain that Zhou Jianguo intended to dismiss her.

"Yes."

"What do you think of Yan Chen?"

Lu Yan's eyelids twitched slightly, and she asked directly, "Commander, do you know where I went last night?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Jianguo raised an eyebrow in surprise.

She certainly has a decisive and intelligent personality.

Talking to someone like that saves a lot of breath.

Since Lu Yan was so direct, Zhou Jianguo didn't beat around the bush either. He nodded and said, "This morning, Wang Jin took me out, and I saw the man you beat up. Based on their descriptions, I guessed it was you."

Lu Yan lowered her head and smiled, then looked up again, her eyes devoid of any smile. Facing Zhou Jianguo calmly, there was no fear in her eyes. "You guessed right, it's me."

He was used to the younger generation around him being too afraid to speak, but Lu Yan's composed demeanor made him visibly admire her. He asked, "Aren't you afraid I'll arrest you?"

Lu Yan curled her lips into a smile. "If you wanted to arrest me, you would have a thousand or ten thousand ways to do so. You wouldn't have called me here to talk about this."

Zhou Jianguo fought his whole life, rising to the position of army commander from among millions of soldiers across the country. He was not only good at fighting on the battlefield, but his courage and strategy were definitely superior to most people.

If he wants to get rid of someone quietly, that person will have absolutely no ability to resist.

But Lu Yan knew that Zhou Jianguo was definitely not the kind of person who would bully others by relying on his power.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Jianguo smiled, "Yan Chen was right about you."

Lu Yan frowned. "I don't quite understand what you mean."

Zhou Jianguo looked into her eyes. "This morning, you suddenly became so distant from us. Is it because you found out last night that I was secretly investigating you?"

At this point, Lu Yan saw no need to hide anything. "Yes."

Even though she had figured it out, Lu Yan still felt a little sad when she thought about it again, and unconsciously became more talkative.

"Sir, I have been working here for two months and I have never done anything to wrong you. Your wife thinks highly of me, giving me five times my salary and providing my son with a good environment to grow up in. I am very grateful to her."

Zhou Jianguo looked at her without saying a word.

"You want to investigate me, investigate my character? I don't care. If I cared about my reputation, I would have died six years ago."

Seeing her slightly reddened eyes, Zhou Jianguo frowned and suddenly regretted what he had done.

"But you shouldn't have investigated my son," Lu Yan told herself not to be sad. The person in front of her had no obligation to be considerate of her. Her throat was tight and her voice was choked. Her eyes were glistening, but she had a smile on her lips. "My son is my bottom line. Whoever touches my son, I will fight them to the death. I don't care who they are."

"I did hit that man yesterday, I don't deny it. You can take me to the police station or fire me, I don't care."

She knew she couldn't fight city hall.

Trying to fight a losing battle with an egg will only result in hurting yourself.

Zhou Jianguo pursed his lips. "Then do you know why I'm investigating you?"

Lu Yan nodded. "I know."

"You know?"

Lu Yan smiled, "Are you worried that if I spend too much time with Mr. Zhou, I'll seduce him, ruin his reputation, and then stay at your house and refuse to leave?"

"So you're investigating me, trying to find out why I got pregnant out of wedlock six years ago, trying to find any clues that I'm a promiscuous woman. But, sir, I never intended to have anything to do with your son."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Jianguo's expression immediately darkened. "Why didn't you think of that?"

His son is so handsome and outstanding, why wouldn't she want to be with him!

Lu Yan was taken aback.

No, shouldn't Zhou Jianguo be happy about what she said?

Why are you getting angry?

Lu Yan quickly realized, oh right, she was only trying to clear herself of the blame, making it sound like she disliked Zhou Yanchen.

As Zhou Yanchen's father, he certainly had reason to be angry. She quickly explained, "Chief, I didn't think it was because I know my own limitations; I'm not good enough for your son."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Jianguo's expression softened somewhat. He stared into Lu Yan's eyes and spoke slowly and deliberately.

"Now I'll tell you, the reason I investigated you is because I discovered that Yan Chen likes you."
