Xuxu sobbed harder as she buried her face in Yan Rusheng’s chest .
Young Master Yan was really feeling frustrated and sullen .
He swore to himself that once his children were born, he would go for a ligation right away .
‘F*ck f*ck f*ck!’
No way would he allow this to happen again! It was already enough that he loved her . He would do whatever it took as long as his wife would not have to suffer from depression .
Xuxu cried herself to sleep in Yan Rusheng’s arms that night . When she woke up the next morning, her eyes were so swollen that they resembled light bulbs .
She went down to the dining room .
Second Master Yan noticed her swollen eyes and his face fell instantly . He angrily cast the newspapers aside and glared at Yan Rusheng .
Yan Rusheng knew the reason his father was glaring at him . He explained, “I didn’t bully her at all . She was the one who wanted to cry . ”
Yan Weihong frowned . “Yan Rusheng, what’s that attitude?”
“I really didn’t bully her . ” Young Master Yan felt indignant at the accusation .
He tugged at Xuxu’s clothes . “Wife, say something . ”
Xuxu bent her head and ate breakfast without a word .
Tch . If she admitted that she had cried suddenly for no apparent reason, wouldn’t everyone think she was suffering from prenatal depression? They would definitely watch her closely from now on .
There was no way she would want that .
It dumbfounded Yan Rusheng .
“Yan Rusheng, you need to think of a better reason if you want to lie . Why would Xuxu cry for no reason?” It was Mu Li’s turn to accuse him .
Young Master Yan felt that he wouldn’t be able to clear his name .
He decided not to explain any further .
He held a glass of milk and began to drink quietly .
While his other hand found Xuxu’s thigh under the table . He pinched her to vent his anger .
Xuxu smirked but only Yan Rusheng saw how sly and devious she was .
Yan Rusheng clenched his teeth, resisting the urge to swallow her in one mouthful .
Their interactions had gone unnoticed by everyone else in the room .
Yan Weihong continued to glare at Yan Rusheng as though he was chiding him . “How is Su Yan doing?” asked Yan Weihong .
Yan Weihong turned serious whenever work was involved .
“Soon,” replied Yan Rusheng . “He should be back before the end of the month if everything goes smoothly . ”
“We can’t let Paramount win this time!” Yan Weihong clenched his fists, looking determined .
It was clear how much he hated Paramount .
Yan Rusheng replied lightly, “We won’t . I have faith in Su Yan . ”
Xuxu stole a quick glance at Yan Rusheng when she heard him .
This… was the first time he had openly declared that he had faith in someone .
He had always appeared to be haughty towards outsiders and always regarded everyone else to be beneath him . He had hardly… praised or gave recognition to anyone .
Su Yan was the first . Even she felt flattered on Su Yan’s behalf .
“I heard that he has been getting along well with Jiang Shaomei’s daughter? What is he trying to do?” asked Yan Weihong .
A crease appeared between his eyebrows and they heard a trace of anger in his tone .
Yan Rusheng remained composed as he replied, “That’s his private matters . I have no right to question him . ”
“Hmph!” Yan Weihong snorted . “Remind him that there are plenty of good ladies around . ”
Yan Rusheng bowed his head as he clammed up .
The atmosphere in the room became strained as silence fell .
Mu Li glanced at Yan Weihong as he sat there, stony-faced .
She turned her attention to Xuxu and smiled . “Xuxu, you didn’t forget that you have a checkup today, right?”
Xuxu shook her head . “No, I didn’t . ”
“The next time would be when you give birth . ” Mu Li smiled and a thought struck her . “She asked Yan Weihong, “Have you thought of names for the children?”
