On the afternoon of the fourth day, Qiao Anhao felt a slight discomfort in her lower abdomen, as though her period was about to come.
She had periods since she was young, and her period had always been irregular. Sometimes, it would come once every three to four months. She went to the hospital for a checkup, but it wasn't a big deal. After taking Chinese medicine, she was fine for half a year, but after that, her period continued to be irregular. Taking too much medicine would always harm her body, so she went to another hospital for a checkup. Her uterus and ovaries were all fine, so in the end, she stopped taking medicine.
However, Qiao Anhao's lower abdomen only felt uncomfortable for a while, and she was fine in the afternoon.
During dinner, Madam Chen asked, "Madam, has Mr. Lu been on a business trip recently? Why hasn't he been home? "
Qiao Anhao was stunned by the question. After a while, she mumbled an "Mmh" and continued eating.
After dinner, Madam Chen specially heated up a bottle of bird's nest soup that Han Ruchu had given her. After she finished eating, she went upstairs. As she curled up on the sofa to watch television, she felt an uncomfortable feeling in her abdomen. Afraid that she would catch a cold, she grabbed a blanket to cover herself. Eventually, as she watched the television, she actually fell asleep.
These few days, Lu Jinnian had actually returned to Mian Xiu Garden, but when he reached the entrance, he stopped, not entering the courtyard.
There was supposed to be a dinner today, but when it ended, it was only 9: 30 pm. The host of the dinner invited everyone to another venue to play mahjong. Lu Jinnian didn't know what was wrong with him, but he kept feeling uneasy, so he politely declined.
The assistant drove the car from the underground carpark and opened the door for Lu Jinnian. However, Lu Jinnian didn't get in, instead, he stood beside the car for a while before saying, "Give me the car keys, you can go back first."
After the assistant flagged down a taxi, Lu Jinnian got into the car. His heart beat inexplicably faster, stifling him to the point where he couldn't breathe. He rolled down the window, calming his breathing, but he still felt uneasy. He started the car and drove casually.
After driving for less than ten minutes, Lu Jinnian's heart didn't feel any better, so he took out his phone and called Mian Xiu Garden.
Madam Chen must have seen his phone number from the caller ID. The moment she picked up, she shouted, "Mr. Lu."
Lu Jinnian replied with an "En", then asked impatiently, "Is Qiao Qiao alright?"
Madam Chen felt that his call was too strange, so she froze for a moment before replying curiously, "Missus is fine, she's upstairs watching television."
Lu Jinnian's anxious heart finally calmed down. He let out a sigh of relief and replied with an "Oh" before hanging up the phone.
Lu Jinnian originally wanted to head to the office to work overtime, but when the car reached a fork in the road, he didn't know why, even though he had called Madam Chen and she had told him that Qiao Anhao was fine, but he still felt uneasy. In the end, he decided to take the road back to Mian Xiu Garden.
By the time he reached Mian Xiu Garden villa, it was only half past ten at night. Madam Chen was still awake. Hearing the sound of the car, she walked out of the house.
Lu Jinnian got out of the car and closed the door behind him. Ignoring Madam Chen's greeting, he raised his keys to unlock the car and stepped into the house. Without even taking off his shoes, he ran up the stairs to the bedroom, pushed the door open, and rushed in.
