When Xu Jiaojiao was reprimanded by Ling Shuo, she only thought that Ling Shuo was embarrassed in front of Jiujiu. But when she was dragged out like a dead dog, Xu Jiaojiao instantly panicked.
She wanted to open her mouth and scream. She wanted to tell Ling Shuo that she had admired him for a long time. She was prettier than Jiujiu, and she was doted on at home. As long as he married her, the Xu Family would fully support the Ling Family.
When she married Ling Shuo, the women in the Ling Family who had nothing better to do wanted to eat her alive. If they found out that Ling Shuo liked her, they would definitely tear her apart.
Ling Shuo couldn't say anything about his own family. He couldn't comfort Jiujiu with words, so he could only give the biggest promise he could. "I'm here."
Ling Shuo's voice instantly calmed Jiujiu down.
Jiujiu turned her head to look at Ling Shuo. She chuckled and said, "Actually, you're a very nice person."
No matter how Ling Shuo treated other people, at least Ling Shuo had nothing to say when it came to her.
Ling Shuo lifted the quilt and pulled Jiujiu into his arms. His palm gently rubbed Jiujiu's back as he whispered, "Do me a favor."
"What?"
"I'll tell the others tomorrow that you're pregnant."
Ling Shuo's words were like a bomb that directly blew Jiujiu up.
Although the two of them had slept in the same bed many times, the most intimate relationship between the two of them was that they slept in each other's arms. Moreover, they were still clothed. It wasn't good to suddenly say that she was pregnant.
Seeing Jiujiu's face suddenly turn red like an apple, Ling Shuo knew that Jiujiu had misunderstood.
Hugging Jiujiu's waist, Ling Shuo lifted Jiujiu from the bed and placed her on his lap. He looked down at Jiujiu's rosy cheeks and said, "There is a spy in the Ling family. I want you to help me find him."
Jiujiu was stunned. "There's a spy in the Ling family?"
She thought that the Ling family was as secure as an iron bucket. She didn't expect that there would be a spy.
Moreover, how did Ling Shuo know that there was a spy in the Ling family?
In response to Jiujiu's rhetorical question, Ling Shuo nodded in affirmation and gave a more accurate answer. "And there's more than one."
"So, you want me to help you lure those spies out?"
There was nothing more important than the fact that Ling Shuo's wife, namely her, was pregnant.
If she was pregnant, it meant that Ling Shuo was going to have a child.
Those who didn't like Ling Shuo would definitely try to kill the child in her belly. And Ling Shuo could use this to find out the spies lurking in the Ling family.
Ling Shuo had always known that Jiujiu was very smart. However, when he heard Jiujiu's words, he felt that Jiujiu was more suitable for him.
Ling Shuo looked at Jiujiu and said, "Don't worry. I'll protect you."
Jiujiu thought for a moment, turned around, put her arms around Ling Shuo's neck, and kissed Ling Shuo on the cheek with a smile. She said teasingly, "Well, you're my husband. Of course I'll help you."
Ling Shuo had been afraid that Jiujiu would leave him because of this. However, when he heard Jiujiu say that he was her husband, he felt as warm as if he was soaking in hot water. He felt extremely comfortable.
After feeling comfortable, Ling Shuo instantly thought of the things that Jiujiu had done for Madam Bai. His expression instantly became serious. "You can only help me in the future. Do you understand?"
Jiujiu nodded and coaxed Ling Shuo as if he were a child. "Okay, okay, okay. I'll only help you in the future."
Ling Shuo was speechless.
Early the next morning, Ling Shuo took Jiujiu, who had never attended the women's gatherings in the Ling Family, to the hall and announced the news of Jiujiu's pregnancy in front of everyone.
The news of Jiujiu's pregnancy was like a bomb that made the women in the Ling Family dizzy. Especially Old Madam Bai, who looked at Jiujiu with a mixture of happiness and disgust. It was extremely complicated.
On the one hand, Old Madam Bai was really happy that her grandson, Ling Shuo, was going to have a child. On the other hand, Old Madam Bai hated everyone in the Bai Family because of Bai Yannan. Therefore, whenever she thought that the person who was pregnant with Ling Shuo's child was Jiujiu, she felt like vomiting.
And the other people in the Ling Family were even more unhappy.
In their opinion, Jiujiu was sent to the Ling Family as a punching bag by the Bai Family. However, because of Ling Shuo's support, Jiujiu not only lived a better life than them, but also became the ruler of the Ling Family.
When Jiujiu was not pregnant, all the things in the Ling Family were used by Jiujiu. Now that Jiujiu was pregnant, there was no room for them in the Ling Family.
However, no matter what Old Madam Bai and the other women in the Ling Family thought, they all congratulated them on the surface.
Especially Old Madam Bai, who smiled brightly. Jiujiu said that even if she stood at the door, she could see Old Madam Bai's bright red teeth. It was really an eyesore.
After the news of Jiujiu's pregnancy shocked the Ling Family, it also shocked Mrs. Bai.
Mrs. Bai didn't expect Jiujiu to be pregnant.
If Jiujiu was pregnant, then sending Xu Jiaojiao to Jiujiu at that time would be a slap to Jiujiu's face.
No wonder Ling Shuo didn't want to touch Xu Jiaojiao. It turned out that Jiujiu was pregnant.
Although it was normal for a man to indulge in debauchery outside, he still had to give his legal wife some face after she was pregnant.
Therefore, Mrs. Bai immediately guessed that it wasn't that Ling Shuo didn't want to accept Xu Jiaojiao, but that Jiujiu was pregnant, and he didn't want to give Jiujiu face.
Mrs. Bai, who already disliked Jiujiu, began to curse Jiujiu. This damned girl, she was obviously pregnant, but she didn't tell her. She made a big fool of herself and made Xu Jiaojiao lose face.
As a result, the relationship between the Xu Family and the Bai Family became somewhat strained.
When she thought of the look in Mr. Bai's eyes when he left today, Mrs. Bai gritted her teeth again and cursed Jiujiu in her heart for a long time.
The day after finding out that Jiujiu was pregnant, Mrs. Bai personally went to the Ling Family to look for Jiujiu.
Looking at Jiujiu, who was sitting in front of her without the slightest change in her appearance, Mrs. Bai's heart was filled with mixed feelings.
In the Bai Family, the person she looked down on the most was Jiujiu, but who would have thought that Jiujiu had the best life out of all the people in the Bai Family?
Not only was Ling Shuo, who was famous for being cold-blooded and heartless in Nancheng, but she was also pregnant with Ling Shuo's child.
Ling Shuo's child was going to inherit everything from Ling Shuo in the future. Thinking of this, Mrs. Bai was extremely jealous. She wished that she was the one who was pregnant with Ling Shuo's child.
Mrs. Bai stared at Jiujiu's stomach for a long time with a complicated expression. Then, she reluctantly withdrew her hand and said softly to Jiujiu, "Why didn't you tell me that you were pregnant? You made me lose face, and even caused Jiujiu's reputation to be tarnished."
Mrs. Bai's complaints made Jiujiu laugh.
