His voice was not loud, but Jiang Lan was excited.

She gestured in a panic: I, I think, want to buy something.

"buy what?"

Jiang Lan swallowed: Buy clothes, buy clothes for you.

He stared at her with his deep eyes, and suddenly laughed, "Buy me clothes?"

Jiang Lan nodded.

"Lan Lan." He suddenly called her name. It had been a long time since she'd heard him call her that way.

He caressed Jiang Lan's cheek with his fingers and said in a cold voice, "You're bad at it now. You lie without blinking. Did Si Ning teach you that?"

Jiang Lan's pupils shrank and she waved her hands repeatedly.

Lu Jingchi grabbed her hand and stopped her from explaining. He put his other hand around her waist and kissed her lips.

"Don't be so nervous. I'm just kidding you. So, what kind of clothes are you going to buy me?"

Jiang Lan's hands were restrained and she could only stare at him helplessly.

And he didn't seem to want her to answer.

Jiang Lan glanced outside the door. It was raining lightly and gray outside. It was only after five o'clock.

She tried to break away from him, but he held her wrists tightly, and she had no way to communicate with him.

She was breathing heavily, shaking her head, and could only plead with him with her eyes.

And Lu Jingchi, as he said, seemed to just want to tease her and didn't do anything substantial.

It wasn't until there were tears in her eyes that he finally let her go.

Jiang Lan stood up from his lap, arranged his clothes haphazardly, and gestured: I'm going to cook.

He also stood up and said, "No, you can eat by yourself tonight."

Lu Jingchi dropped these words, buttoned up his collar, walked two steps and then turned back, saying, "I won't do this again."

Jiang Lan bit her lip and avoided his eyes.

His eyes flickered, but he said nothing and turned around and walked out.

Jiang Lan fell weakly on the sofa and raised her hand to touch her lower abdomen. She knew what Lu Jingchi meant.

I can't see Si Ning again, and I can't make money either.

He himself said that he would agree to divorce after paying back the money, but he stopped her from making money.

It was obvious that he didn't love her, but he refused to let her go.

Perhaps it's like what Si Ning said - protecting food. Even if he doesn't like it, he won't throw it away easily, let alone take the initiative to escape from his control.

Even if he doesn't want it, he can only throw it away, not her.

Lu Jingchi drove his car through the drizzle. He arrived at the hospital and went straight to the department.

Xia Yan's ankle was sprained and she didn't need to be hospitalized, but she had to be hospitalized.

As a result, she stayed alone for two days, and Lu Jingchi came to take a look. It was not interesting to live in this hospital. She was ready to be discharged, so she called him and asked him to pick her up.

Lu Jingchi was standing in the elevator, with a family of four inside.

The woman holds a baby in her arms, the man holds the woman in his arms, and a five-year-old boy stands next to the man.

"It's all your fault for giving your daughter a round face. The more I look at her face, the rounder it becomes. Will she have a round face when she grows up?" The woman complained, but her mouth was filled with a sweet smile.

The man smiled and said: "You are so round and cute. My daughter will definitely look like you when she grows up."

"It's best to be like me. If I'm like you, I won't be able to get married."

"Then my little cotton-padded jacket can always stay with me."

The little boy took his mother's hand and said, "Mom, I want to hug my sister too."

The woman freed up a hand and rubbed the boy's head, "Go back and hug her again. My sister won't run away. You will be the one to hug her in the future."

The elevator door opened, and a family of four walked out chatting and laughing. When passing by Lu Jingchi, he glanced at the baby in the woman's arms.

He watched them leave until the elevator closed.

When Jiang Lan first came to the Lu family, his face was also round.
