irl. He was stunned immediately because she looked very much like Shu Tinglan. She had fair skin that glowed with a hint of redness, big eyes that were round and black like small grapes. 。Especially n...The former star Lu Yaoyao wore an expression of "eat me if you dare, regret it later," watching them leave with eagerness, while Gu Ruandong smiled indulgently beside her.

Zuo Yu'an was fine because he often went to the supermarket to buy food. Only Lu Kuo was super disgusted and wanted to throw it into the trash can next to him, but under the gaze of Gu Ruandong and Lu YaoYao, he had to continue carrying it.

After they all left, Gu Ruandong and Yaoyao finally went home.

It was already dawn, the sky a pale gray light. Cuiping opened the door for them, unaware of what had transpired. She thought Yaoyao had just returned from filming, but in reality, even Haojie and Shanshan were clueless, believing she had gone back to Beijing. Gu Ruandong had kept it a secret, not wanting it to become common knowledge.

Back home, only they were present. They felt a sense of reality, truly back where they belonged, everything felt normal again.

After her shower, Lu YaoYao snuggled into Gu Ruandong's arms, feeling safe and secure.

Gu Ruandong leaned down and kissed her deeply, passionately at first, but as he kissed, he realized something was wrong. The person who had been responding to him with such passion just one second ago, was now fast asleep the next.

His slightly labored breaths and the burgeoning feeling were abruptly interrupted, leaving him with a mixture of amusement and bewilderment. He gently put her down, chuckling softly, and could only go back to take another shower before coming back to hold her as she slept.

I slept until the sun was up. I was woken up by my phone, it was a message from Dàfáng. He said he was still there last night and didn't go back to Sēnzhōu with them.

Fearing that his phone would disturb her, he intended to get up and go to the study to handle it. However, she clung to him like an octopus, refusing to let him leave. Unable to do anything else, he could only slightly rise and lean against the headboard, soothing her while he worked.

The big ship hasn't been able to find out anything about Zhao Tingxing's background in the Sen state. He just appears out of nowhere, and even his name is unknown.

“He must be sharing a name with Zhao Tingxing.” All the information available is about Zhao Tingxing. Having such an enemy is terrifying because it's unknown which one, in past encounters, was the real Zhao Tingxing and which was a fake. The confusion between reality and illusion puts them in a very passive position.

"Fingerprints Or..." Gu Ruandong asked.

"I got Bao Sang to help, but after his identity was exposed, he became very cautious. Bao Sang still needs some time."

"Remind her to be careful."

Baosang was not assigned to Zhao Tingxing's side by them, and she didn't even know her purpose. So Gu Ruandong did not entirely trust Baosang.

"Okay. What about Zhang Ze, Shao Gu"

"He's not making any waves, let's keep him for now."

Dealing with Zhao Tingxing was a matter of time, he just needed to figure out the relationship between the two Zhao Tingxings first. He never fought unprepared battles.

Da Fang continued to report: "The human trafficking case in the county is also related to Zhao Tingxing's network of interests. That little girl from the foundation named Chen Ling is very brave and has been pushing this issue. Now everyone is on edge, afraid of being implicated. What is Zhao Tingxing thinking For a small amount of money, he will do anything harmful."

"Perhaps this Zhao Tingxing is not the same Zhao Tingxing."

Based on his past dealings with Zhao Tingxing, he wasn't so much confident in the other person's character as he was certain that this "business" deal involved too little money for Zhao Tingxing to be interested. Therefore, Gu Ruandong believed it wasn't something actually done by Zhao Tingxing.

He gave a few more instructions and then put down his phone because Yaoyao woke up.

When Lu Yaoyao opened her eyes, a trace of confusion flashed in them. For a moment, she didn't know where she was, thinking she was still in that small wooden house, until she met Gu Ruandong's gaze, then she came to her senses.

"I'm so annoyed: 'How did I fall asleep last night'"

She remembered how much she had wanted to stay with him then, but sleep was just too strong.

Gu Ruandong leaned in and kissed her, "Yeah, she's asleep."

He didn't say anything, but Lu Yaoyao sensed a hint of resentment in his words. She wanted to say, "Should I compensate you now"

But then I thought, if I'm really pregnant, it's better to bear with it for now. After all, I'm afraid he'll get angry again, so I changed the subject: "I'm so hungry."

Gu Ruandong immediately stood up: “Let’s go eat.”

It was nearing noon, Cui Ping had prepared both breakfast and lunch.

Lu Yaoyao was famished. After eating a monotonous diet in the mountains for so many days, she now craved a feast. Things she usually wouldn't touch were now delicious to her. She devoured not only her lunch but also the reheated custard buns for breakfast.

Cui Ping quietly observed from the side: "Ms. Lu's play this time, does she need to gain weight"

Cuiping is responsible for all three meals at home every day, so she has learned a lot and can be considered half a nutritionist. Judging by her eating habits, she might continue to gain weight. If she needs to gain weight for filming, she will follow a weight-gain diet to make it for her.

Lu Yao yao almost choked on her custard bun when she heard this. She had been disciplined about her diet for years to maintain her figure, so why couldn't she control her appetite now

Could it really be the effects of pregnancy She remembered how Ruan Ruan hadn't been able to eat much during her first three months of pregnancy, and she had actually lost weight instead of gaining any. Throughout her entire pregnancy, she remained slender.

She thought she was naturally beautiful and should be about the same as Ruanruan, right

But now she's completely the opposite, sleepy and always craving food, just like a pig being fattened up. Thinking about this, I feel terrible. I'm holding a custard bun in my hand, wanting to eat it but not daring to. It feels a bit unfair.

Gu Ruandong had no idea that in this instant, she had been tossed around heaven and earth. Seeing her distressed, he consoled her: "Eat whatever you want."

"But I'd become fat." She couldn't accept that herself.

"I like fat." He blurted out, just to comfort her.

To my surprise, she got even angrier: “Do you like fat people Then you didn’t like how I looked when I was thin”

Some are sensitive and unreasonable.

Gu Ruandong changed his words and coaxed, "Sorry, I was wrong. What I meant is that I like you even if you've gained weight."

Lu Yaoyao ended up eating the remaining two custard buns because she really couldn't resist.

She was still thinking about how to give him a surprise about the pregnancy.

Because she didn't want him to know she had been in the mountains, for that would make his guilt outweigh his joy, and she wouldn't have him feel guilty in any way.

After dinner, she lay on the sofa scrolling through her phone and communicating with Haojie about work matters. In this way, it should be impossible to work for a while, as her image doesn't allow it.

Gu Ruandong was sitting beside her, also using his phone to work. After a while, he saw her nodding off again. Because she was lying down, her phone fell and almost hit her face. Luckily, he reacted quickly and caught it, placing it next to the sofa.

"Yaoyao, go back to your room and sleep."

He leaned over to try and carry her back to the room.

Seeing her sleep so soundly, he always worried that she might have gotten sick in the mountains. He even worried that Zhao Tingxing had done something to her.

Sorry, only one chapter is available today.

There's an unexpected situation, so I'll probably only be able to update with one chapter these few days. Please hold on and wait for the updates.least the traffic on the street has gone from being almost completely standstill a moment ago to being able to move slowly now. 。She stood at the bus stop, watching the buses come and go, people bustl...
