Chapter 149

On this day, another business order was robbed by Qi Zhen. When Lu Zhengnan returned home at night, although it seemed that everything was still as usual, occasionally unconsciously, he still showed thoughts and anxiety.

Ye Chuxiao found out, but she didn't say anything in front of Lu's parents. She didn't ask him until she returned to the bedroom, "What's wrong with Zhengnan, is work not going well?"

Lu Zhengnan was afraid that she would still worry about him during pregnancy, so he quickly shook his head and smiled: "It's nothing, I just lost an order today, I'm a little unhappy."

He is not a person who cares about the gains and losses of a city and a pool, so she doesn't believe this excuse.

"Don't hide anything from me. Is the situation serious?" She squeezed his hand tightly and asked seriously.

Lu Zhengnan couldn't resist her, so he could only tell her about the current situation, but in fact, he still only said seven points and left three points.

"Okay, go to sleep, it's fine for the time being, and Mr. Xiao is also doing work for the government, so things will definitely turn around." Lu Zhengnan comforted her, helped her to lie down, and turned off the lights to sleep.

He was indeed tired, and fell asleep not long after, Ye Chuxiao listened to his breathing, and sighed deeply in his heart.

In the final analysis, the key to this is Qi Zhen.

After so many years, Qi Zhen still didn't let go, and confronted Lu Zhengnan tit for tat.I really don't know how long it will take to unravel this relationship that has been entangled with so much kindness and resentment.

And this night, Qi Zhen was in high spirits.In the recent competition with Lu Zhengnan, he has won many times, and seeing the other party lose again, of course he is complacent.

Recently, when he didn't socialize at night, he always ate at home with Ji Xue, but Ji Xue usually cooks. Today he was in a good mood, seeing her busy in the kitchen, so he rolled up his sleeves and went in to help.

Ji Xue's cooking skills were mediocre at first, and she only knew a few simple home-cooked dishes. Now that Qi Zhen said she wanted to cook by herself, she was happy to let Xian stand aside to wash the vegetables.

Qi Zhen's appearance in a pink plaid apron was quite different from his usual calm and introverted image. Ji Xue glanced at him, and couldn't help pursing her lips and secretly smiling.

Unexpectedly, Qi Zhen just turned around to get the seasoning, so he caught him right away.

"What are you laughing at?" he asked.

Ji Xue was a little embarrassed, she lowered her eyelids: "Where am I laughing?"

Qi Zhen glanced at his own shadow reflected on the window glass, and immediately understood, he reached out and patted her on the head: "If you still don't admit it, you just think it's funny that I'm wearing an apron, right?"

He often made some intimate gestures towards her, which felt awkward at first, but after a long time, she gradually got used to it, curled her lips, and couldn't help laughing: "It's funny in the first place."

He pretended to sigh: "Is there any way, you think I like to cook? It's not because some people make dishes that are too unpalatable."

Ji Xue glared at him angrily: "If it tastes bad, then I won't do it in the future."

The scene at this moment, as well as her demeanor, made his mind suddenly slide past the scene in his memory, and he was stunned.

The sudden trance in his eyes made Ji Xue feel a strange feeling in her heart.Maybe it's because she is sensitive, she feels that the person he is really watching at this moment is not her.

The vegetables in the pot smelled burnt, and Qi Zhen came back to his senses, turned to stir fry, but didn't say a word.

The atmosphere in the kitchen became silent, and this kind of silence made Ji Xue feel that her guess just now might not be based out of nothing.

Reminiscent of a few days ago, when Qin Yue came to look for Qi Zhen, she was in the room, and vaguely heard Qin Yue vaguely mentioning who was pregnant, and then asked Qi Zhen, you don't want them to be happy either.She suddenly felt that there was a secret past hidden in this man's heart.It's just that past event, does it have something to do with her?
Qi Zhen has been kind to her from the very beginning, too abruptly.And it's not the first time she saw such dazed eyes today, several times, when he looked at her, he suddenly lost his mind.

"Xiaoxue, go and put away the table, I'm serving the dishes." Qi Zhen suddenly made a sound, interrupting her thoughts.

She hastily responded, and turned to go out. She still had doubts in her heart, but she didn't want to delve into it for the time being...

The next morning, when Lu Zhengnan held a regular meeting, he talked about the loss of the order yesterday, and everyone present fell silent.Qin Yue, like everyone else, lowered her head and remained silent.

When she came out after the meeting, she walked up to Lu Zhengnan, with a guilty look on her face: "Mr. Lu, I have more energy than I want recently, and sometimes I want to go out for a run, but my physical condition..."

Now, her lower abdomen is slightly swollen, and she always wears clothes that are tailored to the body, which is even more obvious.Lu Zhengnan took a look, only to feel his heart getting heavier.

"Don't worry too much, just take care of it." He said this in a low voice, and quickly walked into his office.

Avoid her like a snake.Qin Yue felt a tingle in her heart.He must not be like this to the pregnant Ye Chuxiao, he must be very fond of her, looking forward to the birth of the little life in her womb.

Heh, Lu Zhengnan, if you are ruthless to me today, don't blame me for being ruthless to you in the future.There was a faint sneer on Qin Yue's lips...

Lu Zhengnan returned to the office and sat for a while, then went out to find Xiao Linhai.

When he arrived at Jinsheng, Xiao Linhai was helpless.

In the matter of supplying raw materials last time, he finally chose Lu Zhengnan, but he offended Deputy Mayor Lin because of this.Lin Baohua is a person who hides needles in the cotton. Every time he does dredging work, the other party laughs and says that it is purely because he thinks too much, but when he does things, he still deliberately blocks people and has not allocated funds so far.

"Mr. Xiao, I'm the one who got you in trouble this time." Lu Zhengnan apologized.

"Where is it?" Xiao Linhai waved his hand: "This is the way of the world. When you are in power, you will not be reconciled if you don't play a little bit of prestige."

Lu Zhengnan blew out a smoke ring heavily: "I'll go back and find a way."

"Don't be embarrassing, he seems to be targeting me, but he is actually targeting you." Xiao Linhai sighed.

"It's really not possible..." Lu Zhengnan gritted his teeth, and made that suggestion: "I won't make this order, you can do it for Qi Zhen, then Deputy Mayor Lin will also..."

"How can you go back and forth in business like this." Xiao Linhai is also straight-tempered: "After a while, I think he can turn the world upside down."

Lu Zhengnan didn't want to say anything more, so he got up to leave after chatting for a while.

After leaving the building, he was about to get in the car, but saw Qi Zhen's car driving in, saw him, and honked his horn from a distance.

His eyes were fixed, and he stood still.

Qi Zhen parked the car less than one meter away from him, and didn't get off, just looked up at him through the car door and smiled mockingly: "What's the matter, come to Jinsheng to discuss business again, you've done a good job with this order Bar?"

"Qi Zhen, let's settle our matter, just the two of us, don't you play tricks behind your back and turn Xiao Zongcheng upside down?" Qi Zhen shrugged when he heard Lu Zhengnan's words: "Don't talk about it in Jin Sheng's downstairs Do you have evidence for this kind of sowing discord?"

"I have no proof, but I know what you are." Lu Zhengnan smiled sarcastically.He knew that Lin Baohua could be so cruel to Xiao Linhai, Qi Zhen must have done a lot of bad things in it.

"Since you know who I am, you should know that it's not that easy to end." Qi Zhen's eyes were cold, he opened the door to get out of the car, and walked away.

Lu Zhengnan watched him walk away, then slowly turned around and got into the car.

He knew that sooner or later there would be a fierce battle with Qi Zhen...

Qi Zhen didn't ask for any advantage at Xiao Linhai's place that day, but Xiao Linhai had a grudge against him because of the previous incident, and his attitude was even more indifferent.

Qi Zhen put this account on Lu Zhengnan again, believing that he was the one who provoked it.

Coming out of Jinsheng, his car turned around, and he came downstairs to Ye Chuxiao's studio unconsciously.

In fact, he often comes to this place, but he always sits in the car and looks at it from a distance.

Thinking of Qin Yue saying that Ye Chuxiao was pregnant, the emotions in his heart became more complicated at the moment. After turning for a long time at the intersection, he finally stopped downstairs.

When he appeared at the door of the studio, Shen Ya was taken aback, and intuitively stood in front of Ye Chuxiao: "Qi Zhen, what are you going to do again?"

Qi Zhen didn't look at Shen Ya, but looked at Ye Chuxiao behind her.

Her figure has not seen any obvious changes, and she is still slender.

A kind of vain hope rose in his heart, and he couldn't help asking in a low voice, "You're not pregnant, are you?"

Shen Ya was even angrier, and she protected Ye Chuxiao even tighter: "You don't care if Chu Xiao is pregnant or not!"

Ye Chuxiao was also worried. He repeated the previous injury and warned coldly: "Qi Zhen, if you act recklessly, I will call the police immediately."

"I'm still pregnant." Qi Zhen seemed to be talking to himself, his voice was very soft, and there was a flash of melancholy in his eyes.

Ye Chuxiao looked at him and felt that this person was really hateful and pathetic sometimes.

Unable to let go of the entanglement in his heart, he will always circle the edge of the cliff. One step forward will lead to an abyss, but unfortunately, he can't see clearly.

"Qi Zhen, why are you doing this?" She smiled and said, "Live your own life well, can't you?"

"Live my own life well?" Qi Zhen raised his eyebrows and asked back: "Now not only you, but even my own daughter don't recognize me, how can I live a good life?"

Mi Li'er was the deepest pain in his heart. After returning from Hong Kong for so long, the two of them didn't even meet face to face.In her heart, she has completely forgotten that there is still him as a father, right?

His pain at the moment made Ye Chuxiao silent. She shouldn't have cut off the relationship between father and daughter, but Qi Zhen's previous behavior was too extreme. She was afraid that once they met, trouble would happen again.

After a long stalemate between each other, Qi Zhen suddenly smiled: "Forget it, I'm not in a hurry for a while. Chu Xiao, one day, I will get what I should get, and what Lu Zhengnan should lose will be lost."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked out the door without stopping.

Ye Chuxiao stood inside the door. His words seemed to echo in her ears repeatedly, and the chill in her heart became more and more intense...

At noon that day, Lu Zhengnan called her and said that he was going to have dinner with someone at noon, so he couldn't come over.

She knew that he must be in deep trouble now, so she softly instructed: "Try to drink as little as possible, your stomach is not good."

Lu Zhengnan let out a "huh" and warmed his heart: "You also have to eat well at noon, don't just deal with it so-so when I'm not here."

"No, don't worry, you can go on your own." She smiled and hung up the phone, and lost her mind by herself...

When it was time to get off work in the evening, Lu Zhengnan was still busy, so he had to ask the company's driver to come over and take Ye Chuxiao home.

Seeing that they didn't come back together tonight, the old man was a little surprised: "Where is Zhengnan?"

"He's busy." Ye Chuxiao replied simply, but her mood today was not the same as before.

Seeing this, the old man worriedly asked: "Have you guys quarreled again?" The matter of Qin Yue was always a thorn in the old man's heart, and he was always afraid that the couple would have conflicts.

"No, Dad, where are you thinking?" Ye Chuxiao quickly comforted him: "Zhengnan is really busy with the company."

"Isn't there something wrong with the company?" The old man was still worried.

Ye Chuxiao had no choice but to continue coaxing him: "Look at you, Zhengnan didn't accompany me home for one night, so you just think about the worst, everything is fine."

The old man finally believed it, and sighed as he walked into the house: "It's so easy that life is smooth, and there will be nothing more to do in the future."

Ye Chuxiao silently followed behind him, only feeling disappointed.

Lu Zhengnan came back late at night, and entered the bedroom lightly, for fear of waking her up, but when he opened the door, he met her black eyes and was startled: "Why haven't you slept yet?"

"I can't sleep without you here." She smiled, got out of bed, and leaned into his arms: "Are you tired?"

"I won't be tired when I see you." He buried his face in her hair, smelling the fragrance, and muttered softly.

She wrapped her arms around his waist, her voice was low but firm: "Zhengnan, promise me that no matter what happens this time, no matter how difficult it is, we will be together, don't push me away with excuses for my own good. "

Lu Zhengnan's heart trembled violently, and he forced a smile: "Chu Xiao, what nonsense are you talking about, it's all right."

"I'm warning you." She snorted coldly, and twisted her hands on his waist: "It's only three things, you've already left me twice, if there's a third time, I won't kill you."

He clicked his tongue and wanted to tease her, but found that the words were stuck in his throat, unable to speak, he could only hug her tightly, unwilling to let go...

In the next few days, Lu Zhengnan was still busy, and it wasn't until Friday morning that he suddenly remembered that it was time to accompany Ye Chuxiao to the prenatal checkup.

Arranging the matter at hand as soon as possible, he called Ye Chuxiao.

In fact, she also remembered that she was going to have a maternity check-up this week, but seeing that he was always so busy, she couldn't bear to remind her.

"It's okay, it's the same next week..." Her words were interrupted by Lu Zhengnan: "How can I do that? The doctor said that your uterus was not in good condition before, but now it has finally recovered, and you must go for regular checkups , you wait for me in the studio, I'll come over right away, let's go to women and children together."

At this time, he didn't notice that Qin Yue was standing by the door holding the folder.

Listening to Lu Zhengnan's words, she bit her lower lip with her teeth and made a deep mark, then turned around and left before he hung up, and went back to her office.

When Lu Zhengnan went out, she stood by the window, watched him go downstairs, watched him get in the car and leave, she also packed her things, and went out quietly.

Lu Zhengnan first went to the studio to pick up Ye Chuxiao, and then went to the Provincial Maternal and Children's Hospital together.

There were quite a lot of people in the hospital on Friday, Lu Zhengnan carefully supported Ye Chuxiao all the way, worried that she would be squeezed and bumped, and when getting on the escalator, he was even more careful, holding her waist all the time, for fear that she would fall.

At this moment, in the corner of the second floor, there are two eyes looking at them with hatred.

Seeing Lu Zhengnan taking care of Ye Chuxiao, Qin Yue's heart was pierced.

It really is different, if he treats her one-tenth as well as Ye Chuxiao, she won't hate him like this.

She had been pregnant for so long, and he didn't care about her. Even knowing that she almost had a miscarriage and was lying in the hospital, he could leave cruelly.

But what about him to Ye Chuxiao?His eyes, his smile, every subtle expression and movement of his, all show how much he cherishes and loves.

It's a stark contrast between the north and south poles.

Qin Yue watched them all the way up the elevator and into the obstetrics department, their backs cuddling each other was so dazzling.

She flicked the registration form with her fingertips, and she followed in.

There were also many people in the hall. At this time, the two of them were concentrating on the inspection and did not notice Qin Yue.

Qin Yue is like a dark shadow, watching them from the corner.

After the fetal heartbeat came out, they talked and laughed as they walked, talking about the baby's heartbeat just heard during the examination, Lu Zhengnan looked proud and expectant as a father, and couldn't help but bowed his head in the corridor and kissed Ye Chu dawn.

Qin Yue saw this scene in the dark, and her sharp nails sank into her palms.

At this moment, Lu Zhengnan's cell phone rang, and it was Xiao Linhai calling.

But it was too noisy here, so Lu Zhengnan had no choice but to let Ye Chuxiao sit down for a while, and go to the safe passage to answer the call.

Ye Chuxiao sat for a while, just now she drank too much water and wanted to go to the bathroom, seeing that Lu Zhengnan hadn't come back, she was afraid that holding it in for a long time would be bad for the child, so she went first by herself, but she didn't know that someone was following behind her.

The bathroom is at another stairway. When Ye Chuxiao walked over, he saw that it was full of people and the air was stuffy, so he had to wait outside first.

Suddenly, a voice sounded from behind: "What a coincidence."

Ye Chuxiao was taken aback for a moment, then turned around and saw Qin Yue.

She smiled and said, "Are you here for the prenatal checkup too?"

Ye Chuxiao looked at the checklist she was holding in her hand, and gave a faint "hmm".

"Everything is fine, baby." Qin Yue lowered her eyelashes, gently stroking her swollen belly, her face seemed to have a maternal radiance.

Ye Chuxiao didn't speak, but silently glanced at her, then turned away.

Qin Yue took two steps closer, her eyes slowly moved down from Ye Chuxiao's face, and finally stopped on her abdomen, speaking softly as if chatting: "You said, the baby in our stomachs is born, Brother or sister?"

Ye Chuxiao's heart stabbed slightly, and she didn't want to talk to her any more, so she said "I'll go to the bathroom first" and turned to leave.

However, at this moment, Qin Yue's body suddenly fell forward. She seemed to be in a panic and was anxious to pull Ye Chuxiao's arm to balance her body. Chuxiao pushed down...
