Chapter 39

“I’m not going to work tomorrow,” Liang Xun said when he saw her confusion.

Jing Yao took out her cell phone and looked at it. She asked in confusion, “It’s not the weekend tomorrow, right?”

Liang Xun said, “It’s time for the prenatal checkup tomorrow. I’ll go with you.”

Jing Yao waved her hand. “No need. I’ve already got Lingling to accompany me.”

Liang Xun lowered his eyes and said with a hurt tone, “Jing Yao, I’m the child’s father. This is a moment that belongs to me alone. I want to personally witness every moment of the child’s growth.”

“…” Jing Yao.

It was irrefutable. Liang Xun really liked children!

The next morning, the two of them went to the hospital. Liang Xun drove them there himself.

Liang Xun stayed by Jing Yao’s side the entire time and did everything in detail and seriously. Jing Yao felt an indescribably strange feeling in her heart. She actually felt that it was a pity that Liang Xun was asexual. Otherwise, anyone who became his lover in the future would definitely be very happy.

Jing Yao had been taken good care of by Liang Xun recently. Liang Xun actually really went to learn how to make pregnant women’s meals. Jing Yao had been in a good mood recently and could eat. Her morning sickness had reduced a lot.

After getting the checkup report and showing it to the doctor, the doctor said that everything was fine. He only told Jing Yao to relax and not think too much.

After coming out of the hospital, the two of them didn’t go home. Liang Xun took Jing Yao out for dinner.

Seeing that the weather was good and warm, he took Jing Yao to a park with fewer people and sent her home when Jing Yao was supposed to take an afternoon nap.

“I have to go out to attend a banquet tonight. I’ll get Auntie to cook dinner for you.”

Jing Yao nodded and didn’t ask him what banquet it was. The prenuptial agreement stated that she had to act with Liang Xun on certain occasions, including banquets. However, it was up to Liang Xun to decide if he needed it. Since Liang Xun didn’t ask her to go, there shouldn’t be a need.

Liang Xun waited for a long time for Jing Yao to ask. After all, normal couples would definitely ask what banquet it was and what time they would be back tonight.

However, Jing Yao had no intention of asking at all. Liang Xun was a little frustrated. They had lived together for so many days, and the only time they were intimate was when he pretended to be drunk.

He actually wanted to take Jing Yao there, but there were many people at the banquet this time, and there was someone he definitely didn’t want Jing Yao to see.

Wen Chen sat in the living room and listened to Zhang Li and his mother recall their childhood. He was a little impatient, so he stood up and said, “I’ll go to the banquet tonight. I’ll go upstairs to prepare first.”

Jing Yuan had also heard about this banquet. The people attending the banquet were all capable businessmen from Bi City.

Seeing that Wen Chen was about to get up and leave, Jing Yuan grabbed his arm and said gently, “Brother Chen, bring me along. You definitely need a female companion to attend the banquet.”

Wen Chen’s mother, Cheng Wan, frowned as she watched this scene. She was a little dissatisfied with Jing Yuan. Jing Yuan clearly knew that Wen Chen was engaged to her sister, but she still did not feel the need to keep a respectful distance.

Zhang Li obviously saw this scene too, but her thoughts were completely different from Cheng Wan’s. She looked at Jing Yuan approvingly, hoping that Wen Chen would agree, just like Jing Yuan.

Wen Chen pushed Jing Yuan’s hand away. “I don’t have to bring a female companion to this banquet.”

Jing Yuan’s smile froze. Naturally, he did not have to bring a female companion to the banquet, but no one would say anything if he did.

Wen Chen ignored her expression and went straight upstairs.

Cheng Wan smiled. She agreed with her son’s actions, but she soon couldn’t smile anymore. After Wen Chen went upstairs, Zhang Li told Cheng Wan about the annulment of the engagement between Jing Yao and Wen Chen and the reason for it. Then, she exaggerated the matter of Jing Yuan being beaten up.

Cheng Wan frowned. The Jing Yao Zhang Li was talking about was completely different from the Jing Yao she remembered.

Although she had some doubts, she still did not want to make a judgment based on Zhang Li’s words alone. Hence, she smiled and said, “I’ve never heard Chen mention this before. There might be some misunderstanding. I’ll ask Chen when he comes back from the banquet.”

Zhang Li and Jing Yuan almost couldn’t maintain the smiles on their faces. If it were anyone else, they would definitely think that Jing Yao was indecent and didn’t know how to keep herself clean. However, Cheng Wan was still very calm and wanted to verify it.

Cheng Wan obviously did not pay much attention to the conversation after that. She only replied perfunctorily occasionally after Zhang Li spoke for a long time.
