Yan Rusheng halted his footsteps for a moment when he heard Wen Xuxu . He balled his hands into fists before he turned around to look at her . He replied, "Wen Xuxu, I'm simply giving you time to adjust to your new life and for you to recover your health . I don't intend to sleep in separate rooms for long . "
His lips curved with a faint cynical smile . "Or are you trying to remind me . . . that you're ready to make a baby with me?"
A tinge of mischief was mingled in his tone .
Xuxu's face blushed red immediately, and the redness spread down to her neck . She bent her head nervously and stuffed a piece of beef into her mouth, chewing it vigorously to hide her awkwardness .
As Yan Rusheng watched her, his heart involuntarily softened .

"That's our room . "
His declaration was a significant and sobering reminder to her . He marched out of the dining room with big strides .
Xuxu raised her head in time to catch a glimpse of Yan Rusheng as he turned around a corner . Her face was still crimson as she frowned .
Aunt Zhang spoke up again, "Miss, you should eat more . The more chubby and plumper you are, the better . "
The old servant heard Yan Rusheng saying 'make a baby' earlier, and she was overjoyed . Her grief had turned into happiness in a split second .
She hurriedly scooped more rice into Xuxu's bowl .

Xuxu was speechless . " . . . "
After dinner, Xuxu entered Grandmother's bedroom as usual . There was a familiar smell of ointment that still lingered inside .
Every time she took in this scent, she felt a stinging sensation at the tip of her nose .
Grandmother's belongings were either packed or thrown away . Only two photos still remained on the headboard . One was a picture of Yan Rusheng and Xuxu when they were kids, the other was a graduation photo taken when she got her Masters .
"Sigh . " She sat in front of the desk for a while and sighed mournfully before leaving the room .
She peered at the floor with puffy eyes as she walked out of the room . Coincidentally, Yan Rusheng was just leaving his study as well .
But Xuxu didn't notice Yan Rusheng as she shut the door silently behind her .
Yan Rusheng was about to walk towards her when his phone rang .
He sneaked a peek at Xuxu before returning to his study .
The cellphone was on his desk, and after glancing at the screen, it made him narrow his malicious-looking eyes .
He answered the call and placed it by his ear .
A person spoke up on the other line . "Third Yan, I've checked the background of the culprit . He's a fugitive on the run, currently wanted by the public security bureau of Cheng Zhou City for committing robbery and murder . Before the accident happened, he deposited half a million yuan into his wife's bank account . "
When he heard this, Yan Rusheng turned livid as he pressed his fingers on the table . His fingernails left scratches on its surface .
"Alright, I got it," he responded coldly . "Help me check on a person's whereabouts a few days before the accident too . . . "
. . .
After Xuxu took a hot bath, she put on a bathrobe and walked out of the bathroom barefooted .
She caught a whiff of tobacco and furrowed her brows . Before she even had the time to think, a familiar face appeared right in front of her .
Yan Rusheng leaned lazily against the door frame . The top buttons on his white shirt were unfastened, and the shirt was hanging loosely on his body . His muscular chest was revealed as he held a lighted cigarette in his hand .
