Chapter 44 Manta Rose Lu Yanzhou's eyes were glowing green

Chapter 44 Manta Rose Lu Yanzhou's eyes were glowing green

Xia Weiwei stayed in the hospital for observation for three days after giving birth. After Chen He confirmed that there were no major problems with her health, she was transferred to a postpartum care center.

The postpartum care center was fully equipped with all kinds of facilities and meals. Xia Weiwei's anorexia was cured, and she now has clear personal preferences for food.

For example, she likes to eat apples, blueberries, and cherries, but doesn't like to eat carrots, eggs, or fish.

"You don't need to cook. The postpartum nanny asked me about my preferences, and they will cook for me."

As noon approached, Lu Yanzhou got up. Xia Weiwei sensed what Lu Yanzhou was going to do and grabbed his arm.

Lu Yanzhou glanced at her hands, then at her face, and asked gently, "Don't you like my cooking anymore?"

"No."

"I'll go cook."

Lu Yanzhou stubbornly made her lie back down. Xia Weiwei let out an "Eh," staring at Lu Yanzhou's back, speechless.

Lu Yanzhou's press conference was held for five days, and he deliberately didn't suppress the trending topics, just so that everyone could see what he said.

On the day she was discharged from the hospital, it wasn't exactly high-profile, but the media managed to capture a photo of her from afar. She was being embraced by Lu Yanzhou, Bai Ying was holding the baby, and Grandpa Lu was standing beside them.

Before she even arrived at the postpartum care center, the headline "#XiaWeiwei discharged from hospital, the entire Lu family saw her off#" went viral, becoming the number one trending topic.

Xia Weiwei glanced at her phone in the car and saw this trending topic. Her brows furrowed in displeasure; being on the trending list too often would attract negative attention.

Xia Weiwei isn't an outspoken person, but even though she's not, she can still produce amazing photos at any event.

However, the number of times she trended on social media in this year was almost half of the number of times she trended in the past five years since she entered the industry.

Those trending topics are good for her on-screen image, so let them be. Xia Weiwei sighed again as she thought about the recent trending topics.

It's not that it's bad, it's just that it's all about her private life.

At that moment, her phone was back in front of her.

Xia Weiwei looked puzzled, but at the same time, there was a hint of surprise in her eyes.

Lu Yanzhou actually returned her phone.

Xia Weiwei didn't answer. Since giving birth, Lu Yanzhou has strictly controlled her phone usage time.

"You don't want it?"

Lu Yanzhou asked a question softly, and was about to take it back.

No, no, no, Xia Weiwei quickly reached out to take it.

How can modern people live without their phones!

Xia Weiwei happily opened her phone, and the first thing she did was browse Weibo.

The trending topic about her finishing her postpartum confinement period has disappeared.

In just a short while, so fast that Xia Weiwei doubted she had seen things correctly.

Xia Weiwei refreshed the page again, but still couldn't see her trending topic. However, she saw screenshots of other people with the same question.

The person showed her the picture that was trending at number one on social media and asked, "Wasn't she just here a moment ago?"

[Can't you see that? President Lu is suppressing the trending topics. Weiwei probably wants to keep a low profile.]

Xia Weiwei saw the netizens' replies and suddenly realized what was going on, then looked at Lu Yanzhou.

Their eyes met, and Lu Yanzhou smiled and took her phone away again.

Xia Weiwei: "?"

"It's time to play on your phone."

She didn't play at all; she just browsed Weibo.

Xia Weiwei was indignant, but Lu Yanzhou ignored her, took the baby from Bai Ying's arms, and swung his arms around, looking completely at ease.

Gradually, Xia Weiwei realized Lu Yanzhou's good intentions.

He gave her his phone so she would know that he was suppressing the trending topic and wouldn't bother her.

Can't this person just say it directly?

What if she can't guess what he's thinking?

After that, her private life was indeed no longer exposed, while Lu Yanzhou's private life continued to be exposed.

Some netizens have compiled statistics on Lu Yanzhou's daily entry and exit times from the postpartum care center: she leaves at 9:30 am and returns at 11:00 am, she leaves at 3:00 pm and returns at 5:00 pm, and then leaves again at 9:30 am the next day.

No, it's only for such a short time, is it really necessary?

Netizens joked that Lu Yanzhou was even more clingy than a baby, but Lu Yanzhou let everyone comment.

The more Lu Yanzhou acts this way, the less gossip will circulate about the two of them.

Xia Weiwei then recalled that at the press conference, Lu Yanzhou had defined himself as a toy.

Lu Yanzhou is too responsible; he takes everything on himself, which makes her feel ashamed.

Xia Weiwei then thought of Lu Yanzhou's confession.

That night, he said, "Let Xia Weiwei be my girlfriend." Could a statement like that be considered a confession?

However, compared to the Lu Yanzhou of today, the Lu Yanzhou of that time was proud and unruly. For him to say those words was a confession.

I really wanted to say yes, but I missed the chance.

Xia Weiwei rubbed her face a few times, exhaling a breath of hot air; time was truly running out.

Lu Yanzhou gave her a perfect pregnancy and a fairytale life, and she wanted to give Lu Yanzhou the same life in return, and then decisively say goodbye.

A soft whimper came from the crib; the baby was waking up.

Xia Weiwei stood up, and the baby's big, dark eyes looked at her. After a long while, she smiled and stretched out her little hand.

Xia Weiwei grabbed her hand and sat down on the small stool: "Baby, if Daddy and Mommy get divorced, who will you live with?"

Xia Weiwei asked in a very soft voice, but then felt cruel and added, "I was just kidding."

Xia Weiwei pinched the little one's nose, and the little one shook her head, not knowing whether she didn't want Xia Weiwei to touch her or didn't want to answer the question from before. However, her smiling face wrinkled up, and slowly, she started to cry loudly.

She hadn't seen her baby cry in the ten days since the baby was born.

She quickly hugged the baby and rocked her arms to soothe her.

"Oh, don't cry, don't cry, our Honey loves to laugh the most."

"Smile at Mommy, smile, let Mommy see if the baby has dimples."

The baby's nickname is Honey. We haven't chosen a formal name yet. The reason we chose this nickname is that she always smiles when she sees anyone, making everyone feel as sweet as if they've eaten honey.

I hope that her future life will be filled with happiness and good fortune.

Nicknames are so meaningful, so formal names must be chosen with utmost care.

Little Honey was still crying, and Xia Weiwei was so anxious that she was at a loss. Lu Yanzhou took Little Honey from her arms.

When did you get back?

If her arms hadn't been empty, she wouldn't have noticed Lu Yanzhou at all.

Lu Yanzhou didn't look at her, only caring about the baby: "Just got back."

You probably didn't hear her ask the baby the question about who she would live with if her parents divorced.

Xia Weiwei was a little unsure of what to do.

"What's wrong?" Lu Yanzhou glanced at her briefly, and Xia Weiwei quickly shook her head and said nothing was wrong.

“Our little darling, don’t cry anymore. After Mommy finishes eating, we’ll go find her for a little milk.”

Her large, dark eyes were filled with tears, but she really stopped crying.

"You're so good at coaxing." Xia Weiwei stepped forward and reached out to Little Honey. Little Honey wanted her to hug her, but Lu Yanzhou stopped her.

"You eat first, I've finished cooking."

The postpartum meals were bland and tasteless, and Xia Weiwei only ate them for a few days before losing her appetite.

She walked listlessly to the chair in front of the dining table and sat down. Suddenly, she saw a plate of sliced ​​meat with onions.

Xia Weiwei's eyes lit up with joy, and her face became cheerful.

"Look, even though Mom is so old, she's still a picky eater. We must never be like her."

Lu Yanzhou held Little Honey's hand, and Little Honey's eyes darted around quickly before a smile appeared on her face.

"You're not allowed to talk bad about me to the baby!" Xia Weiwei warned, but Lu Yanzhou completely ignored her warning.

"Look, isn't Mom very domineering?"

"Lu Yanzhou!" Xia Weiwei couldn't eat her meal and got up to go find Lu Yanzhou.

"Mom needs both of us to accompany her to meals. Mom is so clingy."

Xia Weiwei stopped halfway there, her head full of question marks.

"Let's go, let's have dinner with Mom. If Mom isn't full, she won't serve you any food."

Before Xia Weiwei could say anything, Lu Yanzhou walked over carrying the baby.

"Come on, honey, aren't you going to eat?"

As Lu Yanzhou passed by her, he considerately stopped and took her hand.

The little honey, dressed in a pink outfit, put her hand in her mouth and looked at her.

There's really no other way.

The two of them were both incredibly good at acting cute, and Xia Weiwei's anger evaporated instantly.

After Xia Weiwei finished her meal, Little Honey's face, which had been about to fall asleep, instantly perked up, as if she knew it was her turn to eat.

Lu Yanzhou hadn't eaten yet; the food he ate was what she had left over.

As Xia Weiwei got up from her seat, she took the little honey.

Regarding the duration of breastfeeding, Lu Yanzhou hoped for three months, while Xia Weiwei hoped for six months.

Neither was willing to give in, and in the end, they played rock-paper-scissors. Xia Weiwei played rock and Lu Yanzhou played scissors, agreeing to breastfeed until six months.

“Baby, Mommy has earned enough to eat for you.” Xia Weiwei thought of Lu Yanzhou’s earlier belittling of her and defended herself with this statement.

The little girl grabbed her collar and babbled as she tried to burrow somewhere.

She probably doesn't know that's where her food supply is.

Xia Weiwei was both amused and exasperated, and then lowered her head to ask, "Did you understand what Mommy just said?"

Little Honey's eyes were still so innocent, and Xia Weiwei tapped her cheek.

Today she was wearing a long silk dress for early spring, with a matching silk ribbon tie in the middle and a deep V-neck. When she adjusted it, her bra was revealed, making it very convenient to breastfeed her baby.

During this period, Lu Yanzhou did spend most of his time at the postpartum care center, but he never witnessed Xia Weiwei breastfeeding.

Xia Weiwei habitually carried the baby towards the bathroom, and tried to wiggle her chin, but didn't.

"The air purifier in the bathroom is broken. I arranged for someone to come and fix it, but no one has come yet."

"Do you need to use the restroom?"

Lu Yanzhou put down his chopsticks, as if she said she wanted to go, and he would either contact a new room for her or have the staff fix it.

Xia Weiwei shook her head.

Lu Yanzhou then picked up his chopsticks again and continued eating.

Xia Weiwei stared at Lu Yanzhou for two seconds. Seeing that he was really eating seriously, she went to the bed, sat with her back to Lu Yanzhou, and fiddled with her shirt.

Little Honey looked at the snow-white peaks and opened her mouth wide in a roar.

After giving birth, her milk came in very smoothly.

The little honey cupped in both hands, her face filled with immersion and reverence.

Xia Weiwei looked at her, a smile unconsciously spreading across her face. Suddenly, she felt a burning gaze on her back.

She turned around and suddenly met Lu Yanzhou's gaze.

"Ah!" she screamed, quickly straightening her clothes. Little Honey hadn't had enough to eat yet, and her eyes instantly filled with grievance.

How could Lu Yanzhou peek at her!

Lu Yanzhou seemed unaware of this. His gaze fell on her chest, and he said seriously, "My little sweetheart isn't full yet."

Xia Weiwei did not react.

Lu Yanzhou pointed to Little Honey, indicating that she should look at Little Honey.

"Are you full?" Xia Weiwei asked after a couple of seconds.

Lu Yanzhou nodded, then shook his head.

What's the meaning?

“My stomach is full, but my body is thirsty, and it has been thirsty for ten months.” Lu Yanzhou’s eyes were practically glowing green.

Lu Yanzhou's words were so straightforward that Xia Weiwei would be a fool if she still didn't understand.

She didn't let him hold back forever. During her second trimester, she asked Chen He, and he said that as long as she didn't exert too much force, it was okay to do it.

She asked without any shame, but Lu Yanzhou still insisted on not having sex during her pregnancy.

“That won’t work either.” Xia Weiwei refused decisively.

Now, even more attention is being paid to the issue of sexual intercourse than in the early stages of pregnancy.

Chen He specifically instructed that they could only have sex after the postpartum period was over.

Lu Yanzhou shrugged helplessly: "I know, I was just saying. Hurry up and feed Little Honey."

Xia Weiwei watched Lu Yanzhou remain motionless, and she did the same. Her parents persisted, but it was tough on the little honey.

Even the most good-natured baby can't stand not getting enough to eat.

Little Honey's lips drooped, so Xia Weiwei quickly turned her back to Lu Yanzhou and let Little Honey eat.

A moment later, Lu Yanzhou walked up to her, looked down at her, or rather, stared at her...

"Ah Yue, this should be my food."

Xia Weiwei was already irritable, and Lu Yanzhou's words made her want to dodge again, but Lu Yanzhou didn't give her a chance.

Lu Yanzhou opened his arms, enveloping her in this small world.

"Gu Xianyue, it's not like I haven't seen you before, why are you avoiding me?"

Xia Weiwei glanced down; Lu Yanzhou's eyes were tightly shut. She backed away, her back pressed against the wall.

Driven to desperation, she made a snap decision: "I'm afraid you'll be jealous of Little Honey."

"You can have the honey, but I can't."

"Besides, this is your own daughter. Are you going to try and take food from your own daughter?"

Lu Yanzhou revealed a nonchalant expression: "I am indeed very envious."

"But... it will be soon."

Her words drifted into her ear along with the man's kiss.

The little sweetheart ate with gusto, and Lu Yanzhou kissed her with gusto.

She was completely occupied by the father and daughter, and her legs trembled uncontrollably.

No, it's so itchy and hot, I'm going to go soft.

Lu Yanzhou's lips moved from her ear to her lips, and as she fell, he caught her and lifted the mother and daughter into his arms.

"From now on, I'll feed you in bed. If you still try to avoid me, go to the toilet..."

Before Lu Yanzhou could finish speaking, Xia Weiwei sensed a threat and swallowed hard.

When she looked away, she saw the man's abs beneath his open shirt.

It was so alluring; she wanted to pin him down.

Little Honey isn't greedy; she automatically pulls her mouth away after she's full.

Xia Weiwei received the signal and quickly pulled her clothes up. Lu Yanzhou reached out his hand first.

Xia Weiwei didn't have time to stop him, but Lu Yanzhou put away his mischievousness, and she believed that Lu Yanzhou was really helping her tidy her clothes.

In the last second, the man's fingertip traced the spot where Little Honey had eaten, and she trembled uncontrollably, her eyelashes drooping with a hint of disorientation and fear.

"I'm going to the restroom." Lu Yanzhou's face was serious, but his voice was hoarse.

Oh, is the bathroom available?

Xia Weiwei's gaze followed Lu Yanzhou, and suddenly she saw that Lu Yanzhou had already... In an instant, she understood why Lu Yanzhou had gone to the bathroom, and she also realized that she had been lied to by Lu Yanzhou again!

Even more serious is the question of whether his sweetheart saw him kissing her!

Xia Weiwei looked down and met Little Honey's innocent eyes. Feeling guilty, she covered Little Honey's eyes as if to make amends.

That night, Lu Yanzhou lost the right to go to bed.

Bai Ying somehow found out that Lu Yanzhou had been kicked out of bed, and she said sternly, "If you can't even stand it for the last month, then you'll have to sleep in a separate room from me."

When Bai Ying spoke, Xia Weiwei was in the bathroom, but Bai Ying assumed that Xia Weiwei was at a rehabilitation center and not in the room.

"impossible."

"Then you'd better bear with it." Bai Ying gritted her teeth in anger.

Lu Yanzhou nodded perfunctorily.

"Fine, just give me a separate room. I'll stay here tonight too."

"My dear mother, please spare your son."

This was the first time Xia Weiwei had ever heard Lu Yanzhou sound so distraught.

In reality, it was only for one night. After that night, Lu Yanzhou at most ate some of Little Honey's food and didn't dare to do anything more outrageous.

Fortunately, Bai Ying didn't insist any further. After Bai Ying left, Xia Weiwei opened the bathroom door.

"Is this all you are, leaving your husband to face your anger?" Lu Yanzhou sat on the bed with a cocky grin, his bones limp as he propped himself up on the bed with his hands.

Xia Weiwei walked up to Lu Yanzhou guiltily and kissed him several times.

Lu Yanzhou never refused from the beginning, but Xia Weiwei's kisses were only superficial. Lu Yanzhou was not satisfied. He turned from passive to active, cupping Xia Weiwei's face in his hands and intensifying his tongue's attack.

“Baby…” Xia Weiwei reminded him, the shadow of the last time still lingering.

"Baby's asleep," Lu Yanzhou replied in a breathy voice. Xia Weiwei wanted to confirm again, but Lu Yanzhou deepened the kiss.

"You don't believe me?"

here we go again.

Tea.

Xia Weiwei was speechless, but she was successfully drawn into Lu Yanzhou's emotions.

The two kissed passionately, and she was pinned to the bed, forced to accept the man's fiery kisses with a mixture of reluctance and willingness.

I was about to melt from his burning hot body.

"A-Zhou, there's one more thing..." Bai Ying pushed the door open and entered. Xia Weiwei froze, clutching Lu Yanzhou's dark blue shirt with both hands, and shoved herself into Lu Yanzhou's arms.

As if nothing had happened, Lu Yanzhou kissed her forehead reassuringly.

Xia Weiwei's pupils dilated. No, even at this point, he was still kissing her.

Lu Yanzhou touched her face and pulled the blanket over her.

"Mom, why didn't you knock before coming in?" Lu Yanzhou stood up straight with his back to Bai Ying.

Bai Ying rolled her eyes. "It's all because you said A-Yue wasn't in the room."

"You're making me sleep in a separate room; I have no choice."

After saying this, Bai Ying forgot what she was going to say to Lu Yanzhou.

The crisp sound of the door closing echoed in her ears. Xia Weiwei knew Bai Ying had left, but she still didn't dare to come out.

This was even more terrifying than Lu Yuanying seeing her holding Xiao Lu Yanzhou.

"What's there to be afraid of? Mom's been through it all, she's seen it all." Lu Yanzhou was nonchalant and unserious.

"Don't be shy, wait for me to come to bed tonight."

Lu Yanzhou slipped his hand under the covers and precisely grabbed her ankle, a chill spreading from it.

Xia Weiwei hurriedly pulled back the blanket to look and saw an anklet carved into the shape of a manta rose with diamonds identical to those on her wedding ring and the angel necklace around her neck.

"I have some things to do at the company, I'll be right back." Lu Yanzhou kissed her again, then kissed his sweetheart's cheek.

Xia Weiwei fiddled with the manta rose anklet with her fingers, a smile spreading across her lips.

However, her smile quickly faded as she met with her lawyer.

Inside the company, Lu Yanzhou was handling official business for over an hour when he received a message to meet with his lawyer.

He is Xia Weiwei's lawyer.

Lu Yanzhou came up with a guess.

Is it still coming?

Lu Yanzhou let him in.

"This is the preliminary property division plan that Madam has determined." The lawyer went straight to the point, taking out the preliminary plan drafted by Xia Weiwei from his briefcase.

Indeed, just as he thought.

Lu Yanzhou picked it up and flipped through it expressionlessly. She mostly followed the provisions of the prenuptial agreement, except for alimony.

Xia Weiwei doesn't want money.

That's incredibly stupid.

Why not ask for money? If he asked for money, he would have an excuse to visit the mother and daughter.

That day, he overheard her asking the baby who he would live with if Mommy and Daddy divorced, and he told his lawyer to report to him if he had anything to say.

Even now, Xia Weiwei is still thinking about divorce.

After more than ten months of getting to know each other, I still haven't won her heart.

She's really hard-hearted.

"knew."

The lawyer didn't understand what that sentence meant. Now, the question is whether to follow Xia Weiwei's method and proceed with the divorce process step by step, or not.

He awaited Lu Yanzhou's next instructions.

The air flowed silently, and he stood rooted to the spot as if walking on thin ice, until he heard Lu Yanzhou's indifferent question.

"Is there anything else?"

The implication was that he hadn't left yet.

"I'm leaving now." As the lawyer left the office, he noticed a cold sweat on his back.

If nothing is done, it means it's temporarily shelved.

How could he be so stupid!

Lu Yanzhou calmly handled his official business. Half an hour later, at 11 o'clock, he picked up the black shirt behind his chair, walked out of the office, went to the market, and selected winter melon, pork ribs, shrimp, and beef brisket.

The man's refined and otherworldly demeanor was completely out of place in the noisy environment of the market.

"What delicious food should I make for my wife today?" he asked the proprietress he knew before leaving.

He lifted the vegetables in his hand, saw that the proprietress had pumpkins on her stall, and bought one as well.

"I wonder which girl is so lucky to marry you." The proprietress smiled, and Lu Yanzhou forced a smile.

She didn't feel fortunate at all; she insisted on a divorce.

Lu Yanzhou, his breathing slightly heavy, returned to the delivery room.

Xia Weiwei lives in a one-bedroom apartment with a kitchen and a bathroom, Bai Ying wants a two- or three-bedroom apartment, but Lu Yanzhou insists on a one-bedroom apartment.

Bai Ying gave him a cold look on the spot; don't think she didn't know what he was thinking.

In a one-bedroom apartment, you can't sleep in separate beds.

Xia Weiwei had been busy with so many things all morning, and he thought she must be tired by now. He quietly put the things in the kitchen and went to the bedroom.

As he approached the bedroom door, he heard the girl's gentle voice, soft as if bathed in a soft glow.

"Baby, do you like flowers? These are Daddy's gifts for Mommy. Mommy will give you some too, okay?"

Is it a manta rose?

To this day, she still doesn't know the meaning of the manta rose.

Manta Rose appeared in room 7701 from the time of their second date.

Lu Yanzhou was lost in thought when Xia Weiwei glanced at the door and saw Lu Yanzhou's suit pants.

"You're back!" The girl's clear and energetic voice rang out, and Lu Yanzhou's body trembled slightly as his eyes slowly turned to her.

"What's wrong with you?" Xia Weiwei noticed that Lu Yanzhou was acting strangely.

Lu Yanzhou gazed intently at the girl's smile, a sweet smile that betrayed no trace of the fact that she had been contemplating divorce not long ago.

Is this the ability of an award-winning actress? Her performance is absolutely masterful.

"It's nothing." After a while, Lu Yanzhou found his voice.

Xia Weiwei frowned, then turned back and picked up Little Honey, who was holding a knitted manta rose.

"I washed her, dried her, and disinfected her. She's clean."

The little girl loved the flower and held it tightly in her little hand.

Lu Yanzhou glanced at Little Honey, then at Xia Weiwei, and his resentment actually dissipated: "I'll go cook."

Xia Weiwei nodded without thinking much and went back with Little Honey in her arms.

Little Honey can only flap her legs now, exploring every place with her dark eyes.

After lunch, Xia Weiwei and Little Honey got dizzy with excitement.

She had a satisfying nap, and when she woke up, she saw Lu Yanzhou handling official business beside her.

"You didn't go to the company?"

Lu Yanzhou glanced at her quickly with sharp eyes before returning to his laptop: "The company isn't busy lately."

Is he not in a hurry? Why is he typing so fast?

Xia Weiwei tilted her head back and naturally kissed the corner of Lu Yanzhou's lips.

"Go to the company quickly. Honey and I can take care of each other."

Xia Weiwei's tone was soft, carrying the naivety of someone still somewhat groggy from waking up.

Lu Yanzhou felt a sharp pang in his heart. His dark gaze pressed down on Xia Weiwei, making it difficult for her to breathe.

"Hmm?" Xia Weiwei asked from deep in her throat.

She finally realized that Lu Yanzhou was acting strangely after returning today.

Lu Yanzhou leaned down and opened his mouth to kiss her lips.

Xia Weiwei was not expected to raise her hand... but Lu Yanzhou pressed her hand down.

"Baby, please don't make me angry anymore, okay?"

"Do I?" Xia Weiwei asked innocently.

Lu Yanzhou pinched her slightly round face and chuckled, "No."

After kissing her, Lu Yanzhou sat up straight again, looking all respectable.

Judging from the look on her face, she's going to the company.

"Honey, come home early tonight, I have something to tell you."

Lu Yanzhou had already reached the door and stopped.

"I'm working overtime tonight, don't wait for me, go to sleep early."
