Chapter 268 - Return to Beihuai
midnight.
Jiang Yi woke up slowly from a deep sleep. Her hand unconsciously touched the edge of the bed, but she only felt something cold.
She suddenly felt a sense of loss in her heart. Hasn't he come back yet?
Various speculations come to my mind. Is it because I’m too busy at work?
Or are you in some trouble?
Jiang Yi rubbed his eyes, then picked up the mobile phone beside him. The bright light from the screen seemed a little dazzling in the dark.
She looked at the time and it was two o'clock in the morning.
It’s so late, why haven’t you come back yet?
Her brows furrowed slightly, and the uneasiness in her heart grew stronger.
She slowly got up from the bed and turned on the light. The glaring light instantly shone into her eyes.
She felt uncomfortable instantly and squinted her eyes subconsciously. It took her a while to get used to the strong light.
Finally she made a phone call.
Jiang Yi felt a little nervous. She held the phone tightly, waiting for the other party's response.
After a long time, a deep voice came from the phone, "Hello~"
The voice seemed to have a kind of magnetism that made people want to get closer involuntarily.
When Jiang Yi heard this familiar voice, the uneasiness in his heart was slightly relieved.
"Why haven't you come back yet?"
"Wife, I'm in the guest room..."
Before Shi Lu could finish his words, Jiang Yi hung up the phone.
Her heart was filled with confusion and dissatisfaction. She didn't understand why Shi Lu was in the guest room instead of returning to their room.
Shi Lu listened to the busy tone coming from his cell phone, pinched his brows, and got up from the bed.
Just then, the door was pushed open and Jiang Yi walked in quickly.
"Wife." Shi Lu got up from the bed and walked to Jiang Yi, gently holding her hand.
"Why are you here? You didn't even tell me you came back." Jiang Yi bit his lip, looking aggrieved.
"I'm sorry, I saw you were sleeping soundly so I didn't want to wake you up." Shi Lu gently stroked Jiang Yi's hair, his eyes full of guilt.
"Then why did you come here to sleep? Are you starting to dislike..."
Before Jiang Yi could finish his words, his lips were suddenly blocked by him, and he was unable to speak for a while.
Shi Lu's kiss was gentle and passionate, as if to melt away all the grievances and dissatisfaction in her heart.
Under the man's deliberate teasing, Jiang Yi's breathing became faster and her head gradually felt dizzy.
Her body involuntarily leaned towards Shi Lu, feeling his warmth and strength.
I don't know how long it took before he let me go...
"Baby, if you talk nonsense again next time, it won't be that easy." Shi Lu's eyes contained a hint of warning, yet full of doting.
"You..." Jiang Yi's cheeks turned slightly red and she glared at him speechlessly.
Although she still had some dissatisfaction in her heart, it gradually dissipated under Shi Lu's gentle offensive.
"I drank a little too much tonight, and I'm afraid I won't sleep well and hurt you and the baby, so I'll just stay here for one night." Shi Lu explained patiently.
Jiang Yi leaned gently into Shi Lu's arms, "I'm worried about you. Don't do this again in the future."
"Okay, let's go back to bed."
"Uh-huh."
-
Three months later.
With his outstanding leadership skills and rigorous work attitude, Shi Lu arranged all the work of Jiang's company properly.
He deliberately left behind two extremely capable confidants to assist Jiang Jingchen in managing Jiang's enterprises.
When Jiang Jingchen learned the good news of his sister's pregnancy, he announced his retirement from the entertainment industry without hesitation.
One night, when everyone was there, he said solemnly at the dinner table: "I shouldn't sacrifice the people I love most for my dreams. It was my ignorance that made my grandpa and sister suffer in the past. No matter how difficult the road ahead is, I will persevere."
Old Master Jiang immediately applauded and gave a three-month deadline. If he did not make any achievements during that time, he would eventually let Jiang Yi come back.
After that, Jiang Jingchen resolutely went to the company and followed Shi Lu to study business management in the company.
Although before this, Jiang Jingchen had never been exposed to the field of business management.
However, during this period of time, he has always maintained a firm determination, studied hard without sleep and never missed any opportunity to improve himself.
This is what he should do as the pillar of support in a family.
When everything was settled, Shi Lu and Jiang Yi boarded the plane back to Beihuai City.
The plane landed slowly.
Just as Jiang Yi felt the stability of being on solid ground, that familiar discomfort came over him.
She frowned, covered her mouth, and hurried to the bathroom.
When he came out again, his face was as pale as the first snow in winter, without a trace of blood.
Shi Lu had been standing not far away, looking around anxiously. When he saw Jiang Yi like this, his face instantly became solemn, and his eyes were full of heartache and worry.
He trotted forward, gently supported Jiang Yi, and said softly: "Baby, you can't go on like this, let's go to the hospital."
Jiang Yi shook his head slightly and said weakly: "No, Yaoyao told me that morning sickness will occur in the early stages. This is normal. There is no need to go to the hospital."
Shi Lu frowned tightly, his face full of worry.
He reached out and gently stroked Jiang Yi's cheek, as if feeling her temperature. "Then let's go home first. If you still feel uncomfortable, you must be obedient and go to the hospital for a check-up."
Jiang Yi looked at his nervous look, and felt warm in his heart. He nodded obediently, "Okay."
They walked slowly out of the airport, Shi Lu hugged Jiang Yi tightly, one hand firmly holding her waist.
His eyes never left Jiang Yi, as if she would disappear if he was even slightly careless.
The sunshine shines on them, outlining a warm and beautiful picture.
Shi Lu's eyes were full of concern and love. He secretly made up his mind to have this one child, no matter if it was a boy or a girl. He didn't want to let his wife suffer anymore.
In the car.
Jiang Yi felt sleepy, and she leaned on the man's shoulder and slowly fell asleep.
Shi Lu looked down at the woman in his arms, the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised slightly.
He reached out and gently stroked her hair, feeling her breath and body temperature.
"Drive slowly." Shi Lu whispered.
"Yes."
The driver glanced at the rearview mirror and sighed: The president is really good to his wife, which makes people envious.
He carefully controlled the speed of the car, trying to keep it steady.
The car was driving slowly on the road, and the scenery outside the window gradually became blurred.
More than an hour passed quietly, and Jiang Yi slowly woke up from his sleep.
She slowly opened her eyes, scanned the surroundings, and asked softly with a hint of doubt: "Hasn't it arrived yet?"
She felt as if she had slept for a long time.
"Get ready. Are you awakened by hunger?" a gentle voice sounded.
When Jiang Yi heard this, his heart sank. He didn't expect that his thoughts had been spoken of. His ears instantly felt hot and he lowered his head shyly.
Shi Lu said gently, "I asked Aunt Wang to prepare pickled fish and a few appetizers. We can eat them when we get home."
At this moment, Jiang Yi's stomach started to growl. The "gurgling" sound was particularly clear in the quiet carriage.
Jiang Yi's cheeks instantly turned red, and she really wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
I secretly blamed my baby in my heart: You, you always embarrass me in front of your father, can't you just be patient for a while?
