When the female supporting role has a beauty system

Chapter 1068 Policewoman 149
Chen Hongmei sniffed: "If Ayao doesn't have time, it's fine if she doesn't come back. Don't delay her work. She's a person who does important things. Or I can go see her."

“That won’t do,” Lu Xiangrong refused outright. “Your pregnancy is already in bad shape, how can you travel such a long distance? I’ll talk to Ayao in a bit. Don’t always worry about others, think more about yourself.”

Chen Hongmei couldn't hold back her tears: "I really miss Ayao right now, I really miss her."

Lu Xiangrong patiently coaxed her, "Okay, I'll call Ayao now. If all goes well, you'll be able to see Ayao tomorrow morning."

Chen Hongmei lowered her head and responded with a soft "yes," immediately feeling that she was being particularly sentimental. She didn't want to be like this, but she couldn't hold back her emotions. Even though she knew that the person standing in front of her wasn't her Ayao, she still wanted to see Ayao's face.

After comforting Chen Hongmei to sleep, Lu Xiangrong called Tan You.

Tan You was taken aback: "Pregnant? Okay, I'll ask for leave and head to the airport in a bit."

Lu Xiangrong said in a low voice, "Your mother's emotions are not very stable, and her health wasn't very good to begin with..."

Tan You rolled her eyes: "I know, she's my own mother, I care about her more than you do. You guys wait for me at home. By the way, did Lu Jue cause any trouble while she was pregnant?"

"What right does she have to make a scene?" Lu Xiangrong sneered. "How many messes has she caused for the family? Ambitious but incompetent, and prone to emotional outbursts. Forget it, let's not talk about her anymore."

“If your mother has another child, I can still train him while I still have the energy. Lu Jue can't handle the company, and you're determined to be a policeman, so I can only rely on the younger one…”

Tan You smiled slightly: "I understand. I'll talk to you when I get home tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone, Tan You ran into Lao Huang, who was walking out. She quickly followed him and said, "Captain Huang, let me go with you. Something came up at home, and I need to take a few days off to go back."

Old Huang was somewhat surprised. Tan You had only taken two or three days off a week when she was in the archives. Since joining the criminal investigation team, she had basically never taken a day off. Had the sun risen in the west now?

Tan You: "My mom isn't feeling well, so I'm going back to see her."

Old Huang understood: "Okay, let's go together then."

Because Tan You was going back with them, Lao Huang also flew back to J Province this time. Just outside the airport, the two encountered Lu Xiangrong's special assistant. After parting ways with Lao Huang, Tan You got into the car and headed straight for Lu Xiangrong's large apartment.

Lu Xiangrong was still awake when Tan You entered the room. He was reading documents in the living room. Upon seeing Tan You, he took off his glasses and asked, "You're back? Are you hungry?"

“I ate on the plane,” Tan You said, putting down her backpack. “Is she asleep?”

Without waiting for Lu Xiangrong's reply, Tan You went to check on the master bedroom after washing her hands. Chen Hongmei was curled up on the bed in the master bedroom, fast asleep, but her brows were still tightly furrowed.

Looking at her figure again, Tan You couldn't help but frown: "How come you've lost so much weight?"

Lu Xiangrong shook his head, and Tan You didn't ask him anything; at this moment, men were of no use at all. She used the cover of tucking Chen Hongmei's hand under the covers to quickly take Chen Hongmei's pulse.

Only after learning about Chen Hongmei's health did Tan You feel somewhat relieved. As for Lu Xiangrong, was he really that vigorous for his age?

After tucking Chen Hongmei in, Tan You left the master bedroom. Lu Xiangrong followed closely behind: "She's been experiencing severe morning sickness these past few days and can barely eat anything."

“You’re never home when you’re working, and your mom misses you a lot.”

Tan You replied, "I understand. You go and rest first. I'm tired too. I'll rest for the next few days and spend more time with her."

When Chen Hongmei woke up early in the morning, she saw Tan You sitting in the restaurant with a radiant smile. Chen Hongmei let out a small squeal and hurried over: "When did you get back?"

“I got home last night,” Tan You helped her sit down. “I saw you were sleeping soundly, so I didn’t disturb you. How did you sleep last night?”

"Not bad," Chen Hongmei leaned on Tan You's arm. "Your sudden return, are you sure it won't interfere with your work?" "No, it won't," Tan You stroked her long hair. "I made breakfast, all light and refreshing. Try it first and see if you can eat it."

Chen Hongmei looked at the cucumber and egg stir-fry, stir-fried broccoli, and boiled shrimp in front of her, and tentatively took a bite of the egg. The usual eggy smell was completely gone; instead, there seemed to be a milky aroma?

After putting the egg in her mouth and confirming that it didn't have a fishy smell, Chen Hongmei no longer needed Tan You to urge her and finally ate her first full meal after being diagnosed with pregnancy.

Lu Xiangrong, watching from the side, was almost in tears. Sure enough, the younger one was closer to his second sister. As soon as his older sister returned, he became obedient and well-behaved.

After helping Chen Hongmei eat breakfast, Lu Xiangrong went to the company to oversee things, while Tan You accompanied Chen Hongmei for a walk in the neighborhood. Holding Tan You's arm, Chen Hongmei's eyes were full of smiles.

She missed the old Ayao, but the current Ayao was also very good to her. She was weak and timid, unable to protect herself or Ayao, but the current Ayao was not only independent and strong, but she had also become her source of confidence.

Touching her still-not-so-obvious belly, Chen Hongmei lowered her head and blinked away the tears in her eyes. Tan You sensed Chen Hongmei's thoughts, but she couldn't say a word. After all, the other woman was pregnant; what if saying too much upset her?
Besides, she sensed that Lu Yao would wake up soon, and by then Chen Hongmei would understand everything. Tan You used to think Chen Hongmei was too weak-willed and couldn't stand on her own two feet.

But she's not without her merits; at the very least, she's incredibly patient. With her gentle nature, she might do well with a responsible man, like Lu Xiangrong now.

But if you encounter an irresponsible person, you'll only be bullied to death, like Lu Xiangrong in the past.

Chen Hongmei and Lu Xiangrong rekindled their romance, something Tan You couldn't understand. But thinking about it, it's not surprising; the internet wasn't widespread then, and people's minds weren't nearly as open as they are now.

Moreover, Lu Xiangrong is indeed a scoundrel who can bend over backwards, and there's also Lu Yao between them... With so many reasons combined, it's not hard to understand why Chen Hongmei doesn't want a divorce.

Tan You went home and stayed with Chen Hongmei for a week. During that week, she did nothing but cook all kinds of nutritious meals for Chen Hongmei, take walks with her, and buy her all kinds of baby supplies.

Chen Hongmei held Tan You's card and said, "Your dad buys me so many things now, and he's given me all his cards. I don't have anywhere to spend money. Please don't buy me anything anymore. It's not easy for you to earn money."

Tan You patted her shoulder: "Old Lu has turned into a model husband now? Only you could go back to an ex."

"How did I become a 'back-to-back'?" Lu Xiangrong glared. "Your mother and I have never separated. Where did this 'back-to-back' thing come from?"

Tan You chuckled: "Pretty much. You're quite enthusiastic now, looking at her like she's the center of your eye."

Lu Xiangrong laughed angrily: "If I don't keep a close eye on her, who knows if you'll say something nonsensical to her? Your mother is easily influenced, and I can't let you lead her astray."

Tan You angrily threw a pillow at him: "How did I corrupt her? That was her belated awakening of consciousness."

Lu Xiangrong glared at her: "I don't care whether other people are awakened or not, but your mother is fine as she is. Don't try to trap me."

Tan You nodded at him: "You're always slandering people. She's in stable condition now, so I should go back to work. And you, keep Lu Jue under control and don't let her get close to my mother."

What could Lu Xiangrong do? He could only do as instructed.

Tan You's prediction was correct; Lu Yao, the original owner of the body, finally woke up during Chen Hongmei's second trimester. Looking at the timid little girl in front of her, Tan You had a sense of déjà vu, as if she were seeing Chen Hongmei again.

She pinched the bridge of her nose: "To prevent any slip-ups, we're going to start special training today!"

Lu Yao was confused, but after seeing Tan You's grades, she immediately clenched her fist and looked determined: "Teacher, I will definitely study hard!"

Tan You raised an eyebrow and smiled: "Okay, let's start with computers then!"
