Chapter 384: Every heart has a weak threat 1
Lu Banxia stood up and said: "Aunt Wen, please accompany Mr. Li. I'm a little tired. I'll go back to my room to rest first."
He didn't even say hello and went straight back to the room, deliberately ignoring the intense gaze behind him.
Aunt Wen looked puzzled. The young lady would not usually rest so early. She looked at Li Yueqi and said, "Mr. Li, you..."
"It's okay!" Li Yueqi took a sip of the fruit tea, a faint smile escaped from his thin lips, "It tastes good."
"If Mr. Li likes it, I can make it for you to drink every day. It won't take much trouble anyway!" Aunt Wen said kindly.
Li Yueqi pursed his lips and smiled without saying a word. After chatting with Aunt Wen for a few words, he finished a cup of fruit tea and wanted to go back to rest. Aunt Wen sent him to the door, but Li Yueqi refused to let her see him off again and just stood at the door without moving.
Aunt Wen was about to close the door, but seeing that he hadn't entered yet, she asked with concern: "Mr. Li, what's wrong?"
Li Yueqi frowned, and Junyan was a little confused: "The door was blown shut by the wind, and I didn't bring the key."
He was wearing light-colored casual clothes, with slippers on his feet, and not a single pocket on his body. Where would he find his keys?
"What should I do?" Aunt Wen suddenly became worried, "There is no spare key?"
"They're all in the house." Li Yueqi didn't expect such a result. He thought for a moment and said, "Why don't I borrow your balcony and I'll see if I can get over it!"
"No, it's too dangerous." Aunt Wen refused. This is a 4-story building. If you are not careful, it will be serious.
"Then lend me your phone and I'll see if any of my friends come to pick me up and stay one night."
"It's not a good idea to bother others so late." In fact, it's only half past eight in the evening, and the nightlife in the bustling city has just begun.
Li Yueqi: "..."
Aunt Wen thought for a moment and said, "If Mr. Li doesn't mind, just spend the night on the sofa in our living room, and we'll find someone from the locksmith company to unlock the door tomorrow."
"This..." Li Yueqi hesitated, "Do you want to ask what she means?"
"No, Miss is very nice. Besides, you are still friends. Now you are neighbors and you should help each other." Aunt Wen pulled him in very hospitably and closed the door. "In the final analysis, it is my fault. I didn't let you do it just now."
Get the key, and you can spend the night on the sofa tonight. I will make breakfast for you tomorrow morning. You can eat it before going back."
"Thank you!" Li Yueqi nodded slightly to Aunt Wen.
Aunt Wen smiled, turned around and went to the room to get quilts, pillows and other things for Li Yueqi.
Li Yueqi stood in the living room, his eyes accidentally glanced at the ajar door, and walked over involuntarily. There was obviously a room, why should he make do with the living room?
Push the door open, touch the light switch, and after a click, the light quickly drives away all the darkness, and a warm and lovely baby room is revealed in front of you.
The ceiling is made of the sky and stars as the background. You can see the stars at night without turning on the lights. There is a goose-yellow baby's bed, a small tent next to it, and many toys, dolls, and cars of various colors placed on the ground, like
It's like moving the toy store back.
My heart seemed to be hit by a strong current, and it collapsed bit by bit.
The one-meter-two-meter-long single bed has clean bedding, and there are baby clothes, hats, shoes and socks that haven't been put away yet. They all look cute and make my heart melt.
Li Yueqi touched this and that. If their children were safe back then, they would not only be able to call mom and dad, but they would also be able to run, jump and act coquettishly.
He didn't think having a child was a good thing before. When Lu Banxia lost his child, he was also in pain, but this pain was not as painful as losing Lu Banxia. Now that he saw these real things, he realized that losing
The child's pain still remained in his body, but he had ignored it.
How wonderful it would be if the child in her belly was her own!
"Mr. Li!" Aunt Wen brought the pillow and quilt over. She didn't see him in the living room. She saw the light in the baby room turned on and walked in.
Li Yueqi came back to his senses and looked at her: "She prepared these?"
Aunt Wen nodded and came over to tidy up the swaddling clothes in the baby's bed. "The young lady is looking forward to the birth of the child. She even gave the child a nickname, Little Douya."
"Little bean sprouts, little bean sprouts, little bean sprouts!" I didn't expect that such a highly educated woman would give her child such a rustic nickname. After I read it a few times, I thought this name was very cute!
The thin lips curled up involuntarily.
Aunt Wen turned her back to Li Yueqi and did not see the smile on his lips. She said to herself: "The poor lady is pregnant, and there is no one else around to take care of her except me."
"Where is the family?" Li Yueqi couldn't help but ask after hearing her words. After asking, he curled his lips in a self-deprecating manner. How many people in the Lu family treated her sincerely?
"Her father came here a few times, and left after not sitting for long. Mr. Lu often brought things, but the young lady seemed unwilling to get close to them." After Aunt Wen finished speaking, she couldn't help but sigh.
If it were anyone else, she wouldn't have said so much. She vaguely felt that the young lady and Mr. Li had a close relationship, and maybe he could take more care of the young lady so that she wouldn't be alone.
Last time at Lu Yong's mourning hall, Lu Heng had obviously changed his views on Lu Banxia. The reason why Lu Banxia was still unwilling to get close to them was——
Li Yueqi thought of a person's name and frowned, puzzled. Lu Banxia seemed to be guarding against someone, but... was it necessary?
"Where is the child's father?"
She was on guard against the Lu family, so why did that man ignore her?
"This..." Aunt Wen hesitated, not sure whether she should say it. Seeing that Li Yueqi looked sincere and had helped the young lady several times, she did not hide anything from him: "The young lady has never mentioned the father of the child, so I don't either.
Do you know whether the father of the child has ever appeared?"
Since the young lady was hospitalized for recuperation, several men have come one after another, including Mr. Lu from the Lu family, a Mr. Xing, and a Mr. Qin. She doesn’t know if there is the father of the child among them!
There was a chill in Li Yueqi's brows, and he vaguely remembered the last time he went to see Your Excellency, but he didn't see that man. He seemed to have left the capital for something else!
What could be more important than her and her children?
"Mr. Li, go to bed early." Aunt Wen tidied up her things and said warmly.
Li Yueqi said nothing, nodded and left the nursery. Aunt Wen then turned off the light and came out, locking the door of the nursery.
************
Lu Banxia returned to the room. It was still early and she couldn't sleep. She sat on the tatami and read some books about babies and what to avoid during pregnancy. Occasionally, she heard conversations outside the door and thought it was Aunt Wen chatting with Li Yueqi.
I didn't take it to heart and concentrated on reading. Within half an hour, sleepiness came over me. I placed the book on my heart and fell asleep unconsciously.
When she woke up, it was already twelve o'clock, and she was hungry again. Aunt Wen must have gone to bed by this time, and she didn't want to trouble Aunt Wen, so she planned to go to the kitchen to get something to eat.
Since she became pregnant, she is no longer afraid of trouble and will eat whenever she is slightly hungry. She has really changed a lot for the sake of her child.
The living room was bathed in darkness. Lu Banxia did not turn on the light and walked directly to the kitchen. It was very familiar after walking there thousands of times. Besides, Aunt Wen deliberately kept the house very clean, so she was not afraid of tripping. Besides, the light outside was transparent.
Sprinkled on the ground through the floor-to-ceiling windows...
Lu Banxia had just walked to the dining room, but before entering the kitchen, out of the corner of his eye he saw a shadow moving on the sofa, and his heart beat loudly in shock: "Who?"
What she received in response was ice-cold and moving black shadows. Lu Banxia couldn't help but step back and lowered her waist lightly onto the table. She bit her red lips tightly. Could it be that there was a thief at home?
Her heart was pounding. She was not afraid of having her property stolen, but she was most afraid of being hurt by thieves.
In the impression, there seemed to be a fruit knife on the dining table. My eyes were fixed on the black shadow, my arm stretched out, hooked the fruit knife little by little, and held it in my palm. I was so nervous that I almost held my breath.
"Bah!" The light was suddenly turned on, and the darkness suddenly disappeared, and everything became bright.
So there is such a funny picture.
Li Yueqi stepped on the ground with his bare feet, his eyebrows were knitted tightly, and his black eyes stared puzzledly at Lu Banxia, who was leaning on the table, holding a fruit knife in his hand, with a pale face but a heroic look, disheveled hair, and a slightly funny look.
Seeing that it was Li Yueqi, Lu Banxia breathed a sigh of relief and looked at him with a slightly sad look: "Why is it you?"
"What else?" Li Yueqi walked up to her, reached out and took the fruit knife from her hand: "He thought I was a thief and planned to stab me to death!"
"It's just self-defense!" Lu Banxia looked at his stern silhouette and asked, "Why haven't you gone back so late?"
"The door was blown shut by the wind. I don't have the key. Aunt Wen asked me to stay on the sofa for the night." Li Yueqi replied in a calm voice, as if he was talking to an ordinary friend, looking at her messy hair.
, subconsciously wanted to reach out and sort it out for her, but in the end he didn't.
"What about you? You haven't rested so late?"
Lu Banxia pursed her lips, and it took her a long time to utter one word: "Hungry."
After saying that, he walked towards the kitchen, and his voice came from behind: "Wait!"
Lu Banxia stopped. Li Yueqi had already walked up to her and rolled up his sleeves: "I'll do it. You wait in the restaurant."
"No need..." Her conditioned refusal was not out of ignorance, but just a habit.
"It's not like I haven't done this before. It's so pretentious." Li Yueqi said calmly and walked directly into the kitchen.
Well, Lu Banxia stood speechless. Are his words full of differences, or is he thinking too much? His words feel weird no matter how you listen to them!
However, this scene is inexplicably familiar. It seems that there has been such a scene before. When he came home in the middle of the night, he didn't turn on the light on the sofa, and she didn't turn on the light either. As a result, both of them were frightened.
Her thin lips curled up inexplicably, and things changed in the blink of an eye. He was not the Li Yueqi of before, and she was not the Lu Banxia of that time.
Her eyes fell on his feet. She turned around and saw that his slippers were still beside the sofa. She carried his shoes into the kitchen, squatted down and put the slippers in front of him, "Put on your shoes."
Li Yueqi's expression changed slightly, something flashed across his eyes quickly, and he lowered his eyes to catch her calm and cold expression, as if she was a heartless, loveless person with no sorrow or joy.
But she was supposed to be his wife and the mother of his children, but due to a twist of fate, they both suffered losses in this marriage, and finally lost each other.
After putting on his shoes, he asked Lu Banxia to wait in the restaurant, saying that it was not good for pregnant women to inhale oil fumes.
…………
After a while, Li Yueqi came out with a bowl of egg fried rice and a glass of warm water and placed them in front of Lu Banxia.
"Thanks!"
Li Yueqi didn't say anything. He went to the kitchen and poured himself a glass of warm water. He came back and sat in front of Lu Banxia, drinking water and looking at her.
