Hiding her pregnant belly and leaving, the CEO's ex-husband cried red eyes

When I opened my eyes again, it was already night. Outside the floor-to-ceiling window was the ultimate night view of the bustling CBD.

After taking the painkillers, the pain in her lower abdomen had eased a lot. Feeling the warmth still covering her lower abdomen, An Xia calmed down and turned her head. Lu Beichuan was lying sideways with his phone in one hand, typing and replying to work emails.

He used his hand to do two things at once very well, and he could control just the right rhythm and strength as he massaged her abdomen.

After replying to the email, Lu Beichuan put down his phone, raised his hand to press his sore eye sockets, turned his head to look at An Xia, and found that she was awake.

"Do you feel better?"

An Xia nodded.

Looking at his kind and gentle expression, An Xia was distracted for a moment, not knowing how to face Lu Beichuan.

She has always been so useless.

No matter what happened over the years, even if she was angry with Lu Beichuan again, as long as he lowered his attitude a little and showed goodwill, An Xia would not be able to help but soften her heart.

The crazy secretion of hormones diluted all the bad memories about Lu Beichuan in the mind.

"Do you have the strength to get up? If not, I'll ask Xiao Ming to go back and pack some things and stay here for the night."

An Xia shook her head: "Go back."

She also received an order for a model, which she had to hand in soon. She had only finished half of it, and now the time was very tight and she couldn't waste any time.

She was weak at the moment, and Lu Beichuan originally didn't want to let her move anymore and wanted her to continue to rest in bed. However, seeing that she was really listless, she might not listen even if he told her once. If he didn't let her do what he wanted and tried to persuade her, they might start quarreling again, so he just let her do what she wanted.

An Xia pulled back the quilt and prepared to get out of bed, but the next second Lu Beichuan suddenly reached out and picked her up sideways.

An Xia exclaimed and took a breath of cold air. Just as she was about to speak, Lu Beichuan interrupted her.

"The situation is special. For your own sake, just cooperate this time."

Since he had said so much, An Xia naturally could not resist any longer.

Besides, she really didn't have much energy right now, and she might have to take a break after walking for a few steps. It would be better for her to let Lu Beichuan help her this time and go home early to finish her work.

When we arrived at Tianzhu Garden, we found the lights on in the house, which was unusual.

An Xia entered the room and found that it was Aunt Liu who came.

Last time, Aunt Liu returned to the old house after failing to complete the task assigned by the old lady. I don’t know why she came here again today.

When Aunt Liu saw the two of them coming back, she quickly brought out the tonic soup that had already been stewed from the kitchen and pulled An Xia to sit down.

"Master called me and told me that you were having severe pain during your period, so he quickly brought me over to prepare some nourishing medicinal soup for you. You will feel better after drinking it."

Before, when she felt uncomfortable during her menstrual period in the old house, it was Liu Ma who made soup and cooked medicinal food for her. Unexpectedly, Lu Beichuan still remembered it and specially called Liu Ma over.

"Drink quickly. After drinking, go to bed early." Lu Beichuan said nonchalantly, as if he had just done something very convenient.

An Xia suppressed the strong emotions surging in her heart, lowered her head, and drank the soup seriously, hiding all her emotions.

"I'll call Uncle Qin tomorrow and have him take another look at you." Lu Beichuan poured a glass of water, drank it and said to An Xia.

Qin Zhen was Lu Yuan's friend, and the two families were old friends, but the Qin family had been practicing medicine for generations. Before, An Xia had a weak constitution, and he was the one who treated her. But later, her condition improved, and something happened in the Qin family, so he stopped treating her.

An Xia heard this and waved her hand: "No need. I guess I didn't get enough rest, and I accidentally stretched it again, which is why I feel so uncomfortable. I'll be fine after a good rest tonight."

There has been almost no news about the Qin family since the civil strife. Thinking that Qin Zhen had not appeared in the Lu family in recent years, perhaps because he was busy with family affairs and had no time to take care of other things, An Xia did not want to disturb him.

Furthermore, Qin Zhen is a good friend of the Lu family after all. She will soon have nothing to do with the Lu family, so it would be inappropriate for her to seek the Lu family's favor any more.

Lu Beichuan stared at her silently. His deep eyes were filled with deep inquiry. He seemed to be able to see through An Xia.

An Xia was inexplicably scared. She avoided his gaze, scratched her face, and added, "If you still feel uncomfortable, I'll go to Xinkang to see a doctor. If that doesn't work, I'll trouble Uncle Qin to come again."

After she said this, Lu Beichuan's gaze became more friendly.

"Your body is your own, don't treat it carelessly." Lu Beichuan said, put down the cup and left.

An Xia looked up only after hearing the footsteps fade away.

It was a rare occasion for him to take the initiative to care about others, but An Xia felt weird about it.

Rather than being surprised and happy, I felt more strange and overwhelmed.

His overly natural concern seemed to have wiped out the rift between them over the years.

But An Xia knew better than anyone that the gap had always been there, and they were no longer the same as they once were.

The kitchen door opened and Aunt Liu came out smiling. She glanced at the second floor and then at An Xia.

"The young master cares about you very much."

An Xia pursed her lips, then forced a smile: "Even if we are not husband and wife, we are still siblings. It is normal for family members to care about each other."

Aunt Liu’s smile froze.

I drafted dozens of times and the words got stuck in my mouth and I didn’t know how to continue speaking.

After picking up the bowl and drinking the last mouthful of soup, An Xia handed the empty bowl to Liu Ma.

"Aunt Liu, go to bed early after you finish cleaning up. I'll go upstairs first."

Her relaxed and open-minded attitude made Liu Ma a little at a loss.

If the young mistress is still hesitant and conflicted, it means that she is still reluctant to let go of the young master, and there is still room for their divorce. Perhaps they can be retained with more persuasion.

But she was so relaxed, obviously she didn't care anymore.

Then will it be of any use to persuade her again?

An Xia stood up and left. The moment she turned around, the calm smile on her face could no longer be maintained.

She was still not that decisive, nor calm enough.

If she didn't pretend to be indifferent to Liu Ma, she would definitely continue to persuade her, and her heart, which was already beginning to show signs of loosening, would be shaken even more.

Today, she didn't have the willpower to ignore those kind words of advice.

So instead of obeying with an unstable mentality, it is better to hold on for a few seconds, finish the play and then dodge.

After going upstairs, Lu Beichuan was still standing at the door of the master bedroom. He held the phone to his ear and talked on the phone with an impatient look on his face.

"Your stomach hurts again?"

"Then go to the hospital and see a doctor. If you can't move, call 120. I don't have time to go there today."

"You are an adult now, you should learn to deal with these emergencies on your own."

Lu Beichuan hung up the phone impatiently and caught a glimpse of An Xia standing at the stairs from the corner of his eye.

He turned around and she was looking at him.

Before he could speak, An Xia asked, "Is it Ming Xiyu?"
