Lu Jinshen had called home beforehand. By the time he and Tong Qiao reached home, Auntie Lin had already tidied up the room and prepared lunch.
Auntie Lin was a distant cousin of Lu Jinshen's mother, and had been working for the Lu Family since young. She had watched Lu Jinshen grow up and treated Lu Jinshen like her own son. Therefore, she treated Tong Qiao as her daughter-in-law and was especially affectionate. That made Tong Qiao feel less distant and more at ease.
Carrying the luggage upstairs, Tong Qiao was about to tidy up when Auntie Lin stopped her. "Young Mistress, you're pregnant and need to rest more. I'll take care of these trivial matters. You should take a look around and familiarize yourself with the surroundings."
Tong Qiao was not used to being addressed as Young Mistress. "Auntie Lin, I'm not married to Chief Lu yet. Please just call me Qiao 'er."
Auntie Lin smiled warmly. "Alright, you can take a look around upstairs first. We'll come down for lunch later. After that, I'll bring you around the villa."
"Alright, thank you, Auntie Lin."
Tong Qiao walked out of her room. On the left was the master bedroom. Pushing the door open, she stood there without entering. The room was decorated in a grayish white style, with the blanket folded neatly on the bed in the middle of the room. There was nothing on the sofa, and there were a few books on the coffee table, all neatly stacked together. There was even a neatly folded newspaper placed at the top. Everything was so orderly, exuding the strictness of a soldier. This should be Lu Jinshen's bedroom.
Beside this bedroom was a small bedroom with a navy blue wallpaper and a small wooden bed that was about 1.5 meters tall. There was a small desk with a cartoon lamp on it — this should be Lu Jinshen's son's room.
The thought of Lu Jinshen having a son had Tong Qiao feeling extremely upset. Flipping through the book on the desk, she saw the words' Lu Ziqian 'written on it. The handwriting looked a little stiff, and she could tell that it was a child's handwriting. This should be Lu Jinshen's son's name.
His son could even write his own name, but …
Tong Qiao subconsciously touched her slightly bulging belly and murmured, "Baby, Mommy doesn't know if this is the right thing to do. Do you want someone to share Dad with you? "
"You should be happy that she has a brother to dote on her in the future."
A deep voice suddenly sounded behind her. Tong Qiao turned around and saw Lu Jinshen coming in through the door. Hearing his words, Tong Qiao felt even more uncomfortable. She said gloomily, "He's your son, not mine."
Lu Jinshen stopped in his tracks and fixed his deep gaze on Tong Qiao.
Tong Qiao averted her gaze and turned to walk towards the door. When she passed by Lu Jinshen, he grabbed her arm and asked, "You don't want to register your marriage with me because I have a child?"
Tong Qiao was a straightforward person and didn't like to hide things. "Yes, it's not just the child. I also mind that you're married for the second time. I hope that my man is clean and not some second-hand product that has been used by other women."
Lu Jinshen tightened his grip on Tong Qiao's arm, and his eyes darkened. "I'm very clean."
"Where did the child come from?"
Lu Jinshen looked at Tong Qiao and fell silent.
Tong Qiao struggled to break free. "Let go of me."
"I'm sorry, child. I can't change this, but you have to accept it." Lu Jinshen then let go of Tong Qiao and walked out of the room first.
Tong Qiao rubbed her arm that was hurting from his grip and muttered angrily, "Do I have to accept it just because you say so? I'll leave after I give birth. What can you do to me? "
During lunch, Lu Jinshen received a call and went out after lunch.
In the afternoon, Tong Qiao took a nap. She thought that she wouldn't be able to fall asleep in an unfamiliar environment, but unexpectedly, she slept well. After waking up, Auntie Lin cut some fruit for her. After eating the fruit, Auntie Lin accompanied her to walk around the villa.
At 4: 30 pm, Auntie Lin went to the kindergarten to pick up Lu Ziqian.
Tong Qiao went back to her room and called Shuxin. She wanted to report her recent situation to Shuxin, but after a few calls, no one answered. She kept saying that she was not in the service area. Tong Qiao couldn't help but mutter, "Where did she go? Don't tell me she went on a space trip with Huo Yanqing? "
Since she couldn't get through to Shuxin's phone, Tong Qiao called home and told them that she was doing well in the Lu family and that they didn't have to worry. Xia Daiyun repeatedly said yes over the phone, but her voice was a little choked up.
Tong Qiao didn't like emotional scenes like this. After comforting Xia Daiyun for a while, she hung up the phone. She pressed her sore eyes and went downstairs to watch TV to distract herself.
Tong Qiao switched to a police drama and was engrossed in it when she heard movement at the door. She turned around and saw a four or five-year-old boy changing his shoes at the door. He was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt with a small bow tie at the collar. He had two small shoulder straps and navy blue over-the-knee pants. White sports socks wrapped around his straight calves, and a pair of black, round-toed leather shoes were shiny. He had a shaved head and a delicate face. He was extremely cute.
Behind him, Auntie Lin was also changing her shoes with a small school bag.
This should be Lu Jinshen's son, Lu Ziqian. Tong Qiao thought that since they were going to be together for a few months, it would be better to build a good relationship with him. She put down the remote control in her hand, got up, and walked towards the door. She smiled and greeted him, "You must be Lu Ziqian, right? You're so pretty. "
"Hypocrite." Lu Ziqian glanced at Tong Qiao.
Tong Qiao was speechless. Hey, this child … She was praising him, alright?
Auntie Lin said, "Ziqian, you can't be so rude. Hurry up and call her Auntie."
"I don't like her." Lu Ziqian's face was cold, and his childish voice was cool.
"Ziqian, how can you say that?"
Tong Qiao smiled and said, "Auntie Lin, it's okay. It's normal for a child to resist meeting someone for the first time."
Lu Ziqian changed his shoes and walked towards the house. When he passed by Tong Qiao, he gently bumped into her leg. "Don't block the way."
Tong Qiao was speechless. What was wrong with her? Why did she feel that this little brat was very hostile towards her?
Auntie Lin hurriedly asked, "Qiao 'er, are you okay?"
Tong Qiao shook her head.
"I'm really sorry. Ziqian wasn't like this before. I don't know what's wrong with him today. Maybe he's unhappy at school. Don't take it to heart. He'll be fine in a while."
Tong Qiao smiled. "It's okay."
Auntie Lin put her bag on the sofa and went into the kitchen to prepare dinner.
Tong Qiao walked back to the sofa and sat down. Lu Ziqian had already changed the TV to a cartoon. He watched it for a while, then turned to look at Tong Qiao. Seeing that she was also watching cartoons on the sofa, he frowned and said, "Adults are watching cartoons. Aren't you childish?"
His childish voice was full of anger.
Tong Qiao suppressed the little flame in her heart and forced a smile. "I actually prefer watching TV shows where police officers catch bad guys. But since you want to watch cartoons, Auntie can only watch them with you."
"Don't think that I'll let you watch the TV you like. From now on, the TV in the living room is mine. I can watch whatever I want," Lu Ziqian said domineeringly and coldly.
