, like a different person. He was radiant and cheerful, with a genuine warmth in his manner as he interacted with others."It's such a shame, I was hoping to have a few drinks with you all. But my wife...At that moment, Lu You was surprised, yet delighted.
Under the warm lighting, her expression was gentle, with the tenderness of a new mother.
Zhang Baiyan looked different than he ever had before.
Ms. Hu, after all, had given birth before, and it was obvious at a glance. She disregarded the unmarried couple with their conspicuous bags and kindly asked Lu You, "Has the baby moved"
Lu You placed her palm over her abdomen and smiled gently, "Yes! It's the first time I've felt it move."
Miss Hu couldn't help but reach out to feel it.
She exclaimed in surprise, "He's so lively! Look at his little hands and feet, they are so strong!"
Lu You's heart softened, and the way she lowered her eyebrows was so gentle, perhaps even she didn't know it herself... From a distance of four or five meters, Zhang Baiyan watched quietly.
Xu Zhanyou's heart was filled with a deep sense of unease.
She sneered, "Zhang Baiyan, it's not your child. What are you getting so worked up about!"
Zhang Beiyan withdrew his gaze.
He stared at her, his eyes could freeze someone solid. Ever since Zhang's mother forced a marriage with the threat of suicide, Zhang Baiyan and Xu Zhanyou's relationship had become much worse than before. Although they were considered an unmarried couple.
They are engaged, but he has never given a date for the wedding.
Xu Zhan's expression was one of displeasure.
Now that she sees Lu You, Zhang Baiyan looks lost and forlorn, which makes her even angrier. She doesn't even bother trying on the wedding dress and says with a cold smile: "Fine! Since you don't have me in your eyes anyway, I'll give you space. I want to see what happens without me... Will your old flame jump into your arms! Zhang Baiyan, look carefully, her belly is big, she was knocked up by Ye Bai."
She spoke terribly.
Zhang Baiyan raised his hand, and Xu Zhan's gentle eyes were filled with tears as she stared at him fiercely.
In the end, Zhang Baiyan still didn't punch.
He stared at Xu Zhanyou's delicate yet haggard face, and coldly said: "I ended things with her a long time ago, Xu Zhanyou. What happened between you and me has nothing to do with her."
Xu Zhanteng smiled through tears: "Do you feel sorry for her"
Zhang Baiyan turned and left, Xu Zhuanrou called out to him from behind, "Zhang Baiyan."
But the men simply ignored her.
Soon, he vanished on the second floor. A moment later, the sound of a car engine came from downstairs. Xu Zhanyou didn't care about her dignity at all and cried out angrily: "Zhang Baiyan, you bastard!"
Only after the quarreling couple had left together did Miss Hu pat her chest and say, "What an eye-opener! Such a mismatched pair actually getting married. In my opinion, they are not compatible at all. Miss Xu is just being impulsive."
Lu You lowered her head and smiled faintly, without responding.
Ms. Hu immediately came to her senses and patted her hand: "Let me tell you, Ye Bai is not bad! He's big and strong, but he's rare in his consideration. There's no one better suited to be a husband."
Lu You raised her eyes and smiled, her eyes filled with light and happiness.
Even if, seeing Zhang Baiyan again,
She couldn't help but think about the father of the child in her womb, but she had already learned to control her emotions well. She liked Ye Bai, she loved Ye Bai; she wasn't treating him as a substitute or consolation.
She enjoys living with Ye Bai.
Lu You chatted with Miss Hu for the whole afternoon. As dusk approached, it was time for Ye Bai to come and pick her up.
But he has some urgent work to attend to temporarily.
Lu You then wanted to take a walk outside.
This season, the sycamore trees outside are very nice.
Ms. Hu didn't trust her and wanted to accompany her. Lu You smiled and said, "It's alright, it's only four months, my body is still very flexible."
Miss Hu followed with a laugh, "That's right. He acts like a monkey, jumping up and down!"
She sighed again, “Your mother must have suffered a lot when she was pregnant with Lu Suo. She hid away and endured so much hardship. Later, your father was heartbroken for her!”
She caressed Lu You's belly and said, "Take good care of the baby."
Lu You hummed in response.
Later, she walked alone on the street. The catalpa blossoms had already fallen, but the leaves were lush and provided a unique coolness. Lu You felt very comfortable walking, and when she passed a small shop on the side of the street, she bought a glass of iced lychee juice.
She took a small sip and was just about to call Ye Bai.
A person stood opposite.
Is Zhang Baiyan.
His expression was a little somber, but much better than before, almost gentle. And the way he stood there, it seemed like he'd been standing for a long time... Was he waiting for her
Lu You didn't dwell on it.
Because of things from the past and people from the past, there's no need to think about them too much.
She stood there, Zhang Baiyan walking towards her.
The bustling street, where people came and went, we met again, but everything had changed.
He spoke, his voice raspy: "Do you remember when we used to come here for ice cream back in school"
Lu You shook her head. "I don't remember."
She's telling the truth. Ever since she's been with Ye Bai, ever since she became pregnant, she rarely thinks about the past, including Zhang Baiyan and their history.
At that moment, the light in Zhang Baiyan's eyes dimmed.
But he said nothing, only looked at her silently. After a long time, he seemed to ask casually: "Where's Ye Bai Why isn't he with you …Your child is so grown up now, have you two not gotten married yet"
Lu You could tell that Zhang Baiyan had become much calmer.
He seemed to have let go, but also as if he hadn't.
She whispered, "We got our marriage license! On 520."
……
For a long time, Zhang Baiyan looked at her with a very peculiar gaze. He seemed to be thinking about something, and he also seemed to want to say something!
After a long pause, he smiled faintly: "So you're married! Well... congratulations!"
He said and left.
turn around and leave.
Walking among the bustling crowd, on the very path they had once walked, he could still recall that moment when Lu You held onto his arm, whispering softly, "Zhang Baiyan, I'll only eat one! Just one!"
On the bustling street, a glint caught Zhang Baiyan's eye.
People around him looked at him with strange eyes.
He thought, luckily, Lu You didn't see.
He thought, she got married, that's great!
Lu You stood quietly, watching Zhang Baiyan's back. She didn't yearn for anything... She was married, she had a husband, she couldn't be unfaithful.
Her phone rang, and she quickly took it out to have a look.
It was Ye Bai who made the call.
"Turn your head!"
Lu You turned around and saw Ye Bai. He was wearing a dark gray shirt and black trousers, clearly having come straight from the company. His entire business suit looked out of place on this small street, including the ice cream in his hand.
It's still mango flavored.
Lu You was surprised and delighted as he walked towards her, offering the ice cream in his hand to her.
"You can only eat half!"
Lu You obediently said okay, but she planned to eat them all.
This is perfect to eat in June.
Ye Bai wouldn't possibly not know her, but he indulged in a smile. In his eyes... besides the smile, there was Lu You, and also Zhang Baiyan who was gradually fading away.
He didn't ask Lu You how she had run into Zhang Baiyan.
He didn't ask her what they had talked about.
Lu You is his wife, he trusts her completely... They've known each other for so many years, their relationship is more solid than the fiery spark between Lu You and Zhang Baiyan back then, it's hard to say how much it has solidified.
Ye Bai lightly touched her belly: "Is the baby well-behaved"
Lu You hummed, "It moved today, but it should be sleeping now. I'll tell you when it moves again."
Ye Bai pinched her nose: "You're still a child, you're going to be a little mom."
Lu You smiled bashfully.
……
She had dinner with Ye Bai outside, and when she got home, she lay on the sofa and refused to move.
Ye Bai gave her a foot massage.
Then he handled some business, and finally went to the gym to burn off energy.
They were married and shared a bed, but perhaps because Lu You was pregnant, they had no marital relations. Even the passionate touch they once shared was almost absent. Occasionally, in the early morning when Ye Bai's desire was at its peak, he would hold her close and kiss her until her whole body burned with passion, then he would go to the bathroom to take a shower.
Lu You was worried that he would mind.
Right now, Ye Bai is at the gym again. Lu faintly hears some heavy rock music.
She ripped open a bag of chips and ate them like a little mouse.
She thinks it's really hard being a man.
To work, to be ambitious, and to come back to diligently exercise to maintain a perfect figure! It's really too hard. As for Lu You's method of maintaining her figure, it's usually fasting. If she gains weight, she just fasts for several meals. That's why she only weighed 92 pounds before getting pregnant, which is very slender.
Even now, it is no more than a hundred.
Ye Bai was sweating profusely. He came out wearing a short sleeve and a black tank top, wiping his sweat with a towel.
"Eating this again!"
That said, he ate one himself.
Lu You asked timidly, "Is it delicious!"
Ye Bai leaned in and gave her a light kiss. He held it for a long time before breaking away and playfully asked, "How does it taste"
Lu You blushed, her little hands almost nowhere to put.
She leaned against his shoulder, gazing at him softly, a hint of uncertainty in her eyes: "Are you... feeling uncomfortable..."
Ye Bai lowered his head and looked at what was beneath him.
Then he patted her little head: "What do you think"
Lu You gently bit her lip.
After a long pause, she gently hugged his waist. She knew his concerns, so she sniffed and said, "Ye Bai, sometimes I feel really sorry for you! But I don't want to give up."
Ye Bai muttered a soft curse, "Idiot."
Then he carried her into the bedroom. He didn't turn on the light, loving her in the dark.
He was considerate of the child and didn't care for himself, using his palm to comfort her.
In those sultry gasps, Lu You held the man tightly in her arms, whimpering his name, Ye Bai... At this moment, she felt the joy of being a woman, not in the flesh, but in the belonging of the soul.
From the beginning to now, only Ye Bai could give her this feeling.
After it ended, Ye Bai hugged her, letting her calm down.
Both of them were drenched in sweat, unable to recover from the emotional surge for a long time... Ye Bai could sense the regret in her heart, and her guilt towards him.
But Lu You, you don't know, it's truly me who is selfish.
Although I know Zhang Baiyan still likes you, I still took you for myself, claimed all of you...because I like you and don't want to let go.
Late at night, Lu You fell asleep.
Ye Bai walked outside. He stood by the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room and smoked for a long time.
As lights gradually dimmed, the sky turned a brilliant white.
A black Range Rover, parked downstairs, was a car plate that Ye Bai knew too well… Ran, what do you mean! You're always so harsh to me! But in front of Huo Yunsi, you act like a little lamb, all innocent and adorable."Anran served a plate of hand-cut mutton with prepared sauces.Li...
