After leaving his father behind, the son of a prominent figure in Beijing's elite circles has g

"Rong Zheng, Pei Chuan, it's been a long time." Su Qingya greeted them with a smile.

Rong Zheng subconsciously looked at Lu Peichuan and saw that he only nodded slightly and had no other expression.

Su Qingya had done many hurtful things to break her up with Lu Peichuan, the most egregious being when she drugged her on her wedding day.

If Lu Peichuan hadn't discovered it in time, she would have been ruined by Su Qingya.

Rong Zheng naturally couldn't be kind to those who had hurt her, and she wasn't even willing to exchange insincere pleasantries.

She took Lu Peichuan's hand. "Shall we go take a look over there?"

"Okay." Lu Peichuan supported Rong Zheng's waist and walked to the other side.

A cold glint flashed in Su Qingya's eyes, and her hand gripping the stroller slowly tightened, but she quickly smiled and followed her. "Rong Zheng, what happened before was my fault. I apologize. Now I've come to terms with it, and I have my own child. How about we be friends from now on?"

Rong Zheng stopped and looked at Su Qingya, saying expressionlessly, "I can't be friends with someone who has hurt me in the past."

Su Qingya lowered her head and looked genuinely remorseful. "What do you want in return for your forgiveness? Just tell me, and I'll do it."

"No matter what you do, I will never forgive you."

Su Qingya glanced at Lu Peichuan without showing any emotion, then bit her lip and said, "The Lu Group will be cooperating with the Su Conglomerate for a long time in the future. My brother and Peichuan are also good brothers who grew up together. If we two don't get along, it will put Peichuan and my brother in a difficult position."

Interests entangled, emotions intertwined?

Rong Zheng wasn't buying it. "I won't interfere in company matters, and I'll never interfere with your brother's relationship with Pei Chuan. But between you and me, there will be no other way of getting along except to never see each other again."

Su Qingya frowned. "Why are you like this? I've already admitted my mistake, but you're still clinging to the past. What's the point?"

Rong Zheng sneered, "Admit your mistake?"

He got impatient after just a few words. Is this the attitude of someone who is truly remorseful?

Although she didn't know why Su Qingya had lowered herself to seek reconciliation, she believed that old habits die hard, and even if Su Qingya stopped bothering Lu Peichuan, her annoying personality wouldn't change.

"Who says that admitting your mistake will always get you forgiven?"

"you……"

"Don't follow me, I find you annoying." Rong Zheng interrupted Su Qingya and pulled Lu Peichuan away.

As they left the baby store, Rong Zheng turned to Lu Peichuan and asked, "Don't you think I'm being unreasonable?"

Lu Peichuan shook his head. "No, I know you hate evil the most."

Rong Zheng's red lips curved slightly. "Shall we go browse around somewhere else?"

"it is good."

The two walked forward, and after only a few steps, Lu Peichuan received a message on his phone. He glanced at it, his brow furrowing almost imperceptibly, before looking at Rong Zheng, "Aren't you tired after walking around for so long?"

Rong Zheng shook her head; those little clothes were too cute, she couldn't get enough of them.

"Shall we find a dessert shop to rest and grab a bite to eat?"

Rong Zheng glanced at Lu Peichuan's phone, and after reading the message, he changed his mind. "Is it something from the company that needs your attention?"

"Yes, I need to make a phone call."

"it is good."

The two went into a nearby dessert shop.

Lu Peichuan ordered food and drinks for Rong Zheng, then pointed outside and said, "I'm going to make a phone call. You can eat slowly."

Rong Zheng nodded, "Okay."

Lu Peichuan walked out of the dessert shop and went to the corridor to make a phone call.

Rong Zheng ate her food, glancing at Lu Peichuan occasionally. She wondered if the person on the other end of the phone had upset him, as he frowned and looked very angry.

A moment later, he hung up the phone and sent her a message: "I'm going to the restroom."

Rong Zheng waved to him in the corridor, indicating that she understood and that he should go.

About fifteen minutes later, Rong Zheng finished her dessert and hot drink, but Lu Peichuan still hadn't returned.

Why does it take so long to go to the restroom?

Her legs were getting numb from sitting, so she stood up, walked around, and waited for another five minutes. When Lu Peichuan still hadn't come, she left the dessert shop and immediately saw a restroom sign not far away.

Supporting her round belly, she slowly walked towards the restroom. When she reached the rest area outside the restroom, since she couldn't enter the men's restroom, she took out her phone and dialed Lu Peichuan's number.

Soon, she heard Lu Peichuan's phone ringing faintly from the men's restroom, but she didn't answer it immediately.

Just as Rong Zheng was wondering why he wasn't answering, two people came out of the men's restroom.

"These days, men are even taking care of children."

"He even brought him into the bathroom, he must be a stay-at-home dad."

The two left while talking, just as Rong Zheng answered the phone. "Zheng Zheng, what's wrong?"

"Why did it take you so long? I've already finished eating."

"Okay, I'll be right there."

A moment later, Lu Peichuan came out of the men's restroom and saw Rong Zheng in the rest area. A look of surprise appeared in his eyes. "Zhengzheng, what are you doing here?"

Rong Zheng was startled by his suddenly raised voice. "Why are you shouting so loudly?"

Lu Peichuan walked quickly to Rong Zheng and said, "I was just a little surprised." Then he helped her walk outside.

Rong Zheng thought she had vaguely seen a baby carriage peeking out, but when she turned around, there was nothing there.

"What's wrong?" Lu Peichuan asked.

Rong Zheng shook her head, "It's nothing." Turning around, she noticed Lu Peichuan's lips were chapped. "What happened to your lip?"

I accidentally bumped into someone.

"How could you be so careless? Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore."

A whiff of smoke wafted into Rong Zheng's nostrils, faintly mixed with another perfume scent, but the perfume was too faint and was masked by the smoke.

She frowned slightly. "You've been smoking?"

Since she became pregnant, Lu Peichuan has never smoked in front of her for the sake of the child.

"Hmm, the public restroom smelled a bit awful, so I smoked one." Lu Peichuan said, releasing Rong Zheng and taking two steps back to create some distance between them. "Can you still smell it now?"

Rong Zheng smiled slightly, "It's not that exaggerated. A little bit of cigarette smell once in a while is fine."

"It's still better to be careful."

The two left the restroom and continued shopping at the maternity and baby store, not returning home until after 11 p.m., laden with purchases.

After lunch, Rong Zheng took a nap, then got up to organize the things she had bought for the child that morning. Toys and dolls were placed in the nursery, and clothes that needed washing and ironing were taken out.

The nanny offered to help, but Rong Zheng refused. Now that she no longer had to work, she wanted to take care of the child herself.

Lu Peichuan works in the study. After Rong Zheng went on maternity leave, he worked from home to accompany her during her pregnancy, as they had agreed beforehand.

During dinner, Lu Peichuan received a phone call. His expression immediately changed, and he jumped up, saying anxiously as he strode outside, "I'm coming right now."

Rong Zheng asked worriedly, "What happened?"

He seemed not to hear her, and strode out without even glancing at her.

This was the first time Rong Zheng had ever seen Lu Peichuan so flustered.
