elative asked me to return the gift, so I gave it back to his relative."Since you don't want this gift, even if the other party insists, you should firmly refuse it. If you accept the gift from the ot...After Lu Yin brought He Li back from the Tang family, he was afraid that she would be kidnapped again. So he took He Li to the branch office every day.

Xiao Ya Bai, after knowing about this, came up with a plan to let Lu Yin see the true faces of those gossiping and spiteful people.

Most female employees at the branch were saying things like "Helly isn't a good match for Lu Yin" and so on. Furthermore, since the branch was newly established, Lu Yin couldn't fire all the gossipmongers. He only fired a few female employees who were caught and one German manager who had been transferred there.

This serves as a warning to others.

Made things a bit quieter down there.

Back home.

After allowing Rong's aunt to leave, Lu Yin questioned her, "You must have heard the gossip about those people downstairs. Why didn't you tell me"

Since she went to the branch office with him a few days ago and then stopped going, her mood has been low. She must have heard some gossip, which is why she's feeling down.

If he didn't find out about this today, was she planning on keeping it a secret from him forever

Holly lowered her eyes and gestured to him, 'They are telling the truth.'

"What a damn lie!" Lu Yin roared, "What they said is true Tell me."

‘You are a wealthy heir, the CEO of a company, while I am just a disabled orphan. My status doesn't match yours; back then, if I hadn’t been drunk and foolishly confessed my feelings, I wouldn't have gotten pregnant. You could have had better choices…’ Herley gestured with her hands calmly and systematically, listing out her transgressions one by one.

"Shut up!" Lu Yin interrupted her before she could finish, his anger palpable.

He paced angrily back and forth in the living room.

After a while, he angrily pointed at the room and commanded, "You... go back to your room and reflect properly."

Holly didn't say anything, just silently turned away.

"Come back here." Lu Yin said again, forcefully. "Have dinner first and then reflect."

Helie turned around and followed him to the restaurant for dinner.

Sitting at the dining table, Lu Yin looked like a teacher giving a lecture to a student. As he ate, he said, "Ms. Harley Gerke, listen to me carefully. I don't have any snobbery about class. If I didn't think you were right for me, I wouldn't have married you in the first place."

"As for what happened after we had been drinking, we both share the responsibility."

During his entrepreneurial years, he frequently hosted drinking sessions with clients, and they would sometimes bring women along. However, he never engaged in any inappropriate behavior while intoxicated.

He couldn't remember what he was thinking when he got involved with Hailey.

"I didn't expect you to get pregnant, but after knowing you were carrying a baby, I don't think it was a scheme or a calculation on your part. At first, when I married you, I did want to give the baby a complete family...But then..."

He stopped there.

After waiting for a while, seeing that he didn't continue, she couldn't help but raise her head to look at him.

His ears were slightly warm. Lü Yin thought back to how he almost confessed just now, feeling a mix of embarrassment and anger. "Later you quickly fed me, after I ate, I was supposed to go back to my room and reflect."

The topic shift was very abrupt.

“...” Holly.

Besides, you don't have to take those people's words to heart. Don't get bogged down in details and make things difficult for yourself, hear me Lu Yin said again.

Holly paused in her eating, nodding slowly.

Although she agreed to be obedient, Lu Yin was still a little uneasy. Pregnant women are emotionally sensitive; one misstep could lead to depression. He decided to find a psychologist for her to talk to another day.

After dinner, Holly really went back to her room obediently.

However, reflecting on Lu Yin wouldn't make her reflect.

Instead, she was punished in a different way, for being too stubborn.

Afterward, Holly lay in bed staring at the ceiling, for the nth time thinking that her hands would be ruined by Lu Yin sooner or later.

Lu Yin looked satisfied, propping his chin with one hand as he lay beside her, watching the forlorn look on her face. A hint of wickedness curled at the corner of his lips, "Do you know you were wrong"

Another large hand grasped her limp arm, playfully mimicking cat claws by gently shaking it back and forth.

Holly gave him a look and nodded dejectedly.

He then thought to himself: This man's methods of punishment were too cunning. Fortunately, all the hardships were over now.

The next second, she heard Lu Yin say, “This is just the beginning. The sentence is one week.”

"..." Helley.

I feel like my whole life is going downhill.

She retracted her hand that Lu Yin had been playing with and casually quipped, 'Suddenly want a divorce.'

Lu Yin gritted his teeth, fiercely sealing her lips with his own, until he tasted a hint of blood. Only then did he abruptly wake up.

"Divorce In your dreams." He gritted his teeth, pressing her head against his chest. "Go to sleep. Sleep and you can think about it in your dreams."

Feeling a little pain in her lips from being forcefully kissed, Holly found herself buried in his chest. Her breathing was somewhat stifled.

She snarled and bit into the muscle of his chest.

Lu Yin was originally a little angry, but when she bit him like that, his anger inexplicably dissipated.

"A little nibble is enough, don't get too carried away," he chuckled, patting the back of her head.

Hearing this, Holly relaxed her lips and looked up at him.

"Go to sleep."

Lu Yin finished speaking and extinguished the lamp.

……

The next day, Lu Yin didn't let He Li go to the branch office with him again.

Her baby is getting bigger, so it's not as convenient for her to move around. She'd rather stay home or take a stroll in the small park downstairs.

Occasionally, I'll cook dinner, but every time I get harshly and intensely criticized by Lu Yin.

An Xiaotu and Xiao Yabai had tried several times to take her to the Tang family, but Lu Yin found out and was furious.

I thought to myself: this must be karma.

He had never noticed before how much Teacher Xiaotù loved to stir up trouble.

Time flies, and Holly is entering the last month before her due date.

Lu Yin planned to wait another half month before arranging her hospitalization and delivery.

But unexpectedly, on this morning, with twenty days still to go before her due date, Herly woke up in pain from contractions.

She gritted her teeth and endured the pain, struggling to pull at Lu Yin beside her. Thankfully, Lu Yin had always been a light sleeper and woke up quickly.

"Holly, what's wrong" he asked nervously as he got up and switched on the light.

Seeing her drenched in sweat and looking pained, I was momentarily flustered.

Herli took a deep breath and signed to him: 'It's probably... the baby's coming.'

"...Lu Yin's mind went blank."

Isn't it still twenty days until the due date

Without a second thought, he quickly changed into a house robe and gently but swiftly scooped up Herley. "I'm taking you to the hospital."

Holly was in too much pain to muster much energy, she just nodded faintly and leaned against his chest, catching her breath.

On the way from home to the parking lot, Lu Yin felt a hot stream wetting his palm, guessing it was his water breaking. His mood couldn't help but become heavy.

He had read a lot of information about pregnant women and postpartum women before, knowing that premature rupture of membranes was bad for the baby.

Until he placed Holly in the car and saw that his palm was not stained with amniotic fluid, but blood…d out that Xiaonuan was her daughter at night, and then guess that Xiaonuan was also his daughter based on Xiaonuan's age. 。Jiang Yunhan pondered for a moment. 。"How about you give Xiaonuan a call and...
