There was a playful smile on Li Yueqi's lips, and his voice was full of teasing: "I'm a hot-blooded person and I don't have a girlfriend, so it's normal to have physiological needs! Besides, it's most glorious to be self-reliant, isn't it?"
The most honorable thing is to be self-reliant? Lu Banxia looked at him almost as if she was *, when did she become so shameless?
Or has he always been so shameless? I didn't notice it before, just?
His dark eyes stared at her for a moment, and the smile on his lips slowly faded, "Or do you really want me to do -LOVE with another woman?"
"I..." Lu Banxia pursed her lips and just said one word. His hand had already covered her lips. The light in his dark eyes was uncertain, and his voice was low: "I don't pity you, nor do I hate you. Without him,
Before I come back, I will take care of you as much as I can, so that we can be reunited as husband and wife."
If he made sarcastic remarks, Lu Banxia could still drive him away with a cold face, but he had already said this, what else could she say?
What's more, the subtext of his words seemed as if he had never had an intimate relationship with another woman, so who was Lu Zijing? Where did his fancy tricks come from?
Li Yueqi put down his hand, turned around and knelt down to continue. Her calm voice came from behind: "You seem to be so innocent when you say that."
"I'm not innocent, but I'm not sentimental either. I'm a man who has gone through a thousand sails. Because of this, I can withstand all the evil in this world!"
Li Yueqi looked up at her, his dark eyes were like amber, shining brightly, as if the vast and boundless sky could hold and absorb everything in this world.
Lu Banxia looked at him and didn't say anything for a long time, or maybe she didn't know what to say.
How could she not hear the profound meaning in his words?
…
Li Yueqi naturally stayed here for dinner, and Aunt Wen specifically asked about his taste preferences, hoping that Li Yueqi would come here often for dinner in the future.
As the master, Lu Banxia could only say one word to prevent Li Yue from praying, but thinking of what he said in the bathroom, he swallowed it back silently when it reached his lips.
In fact, there were usually only two of her and Aunt Wen, who seemed a little deserted. Li Yueqi helped her a lot. If she questioned and refused, it would seem that she was stingy and unforgiving.
He said that he was just taking care of his ex-wife, so that we could get together and relax, and she would not be pretentious enough to break up on bad terms. As long as he was not allowed to enter his bedroom in the future...
A dinner, plain and warm, followed by a cup of fruit tea as usual. Lu Banxia did not go back to the bedroom. She sat on the sofa and read books on parenting. Aunt Wen brought her a cup of warm water and put it at hand.
Li Yueqi casually picked up a book called "One Hundred Questions for Expectant Mothers to Know" and read it carefully.
Aunt Wen is washing dishes in the kitchen, and you can see this scene through the glass on the kitchen door.
The two people each occupied one end of the sofa, holding books in their hands and reading carefully without interfering with each other or communicating verbally. The warm light shone on them, making them feel warm and charming.
She didn't know what the relationship between the two was. Just by living for so many years, she could see that Li Yueqi cared about Miss Lu sincerely. Miss Lu seemed cold and hard to get close to, but after getting along with her, she knew that she was actually very good.
She also has no temper. It is really hard for a woman to be pregnant and lonely. She feels distressed when she looks around. So she is a little nosy and hopes that Mr. Li can spend more time with her. Having one more friend is not a bad thing.
Lu Banxia's eyes fell on the books, and she reached for the water cup, but she didn't catch it. She moved her eyes away from the books, but saw Li Yueqi pouring hot water from the hot water bottle, and then handed the cup to her: "
Don’t drink cold water.”
The warm water had already cooled down. He poured half of it into his empty cup and mixed it with hot water for her. It was just right to drink now.
Lu Banxia took the cup and said thank you lightly. He said nothing, lowered his head and continued to read the book in his hand, studying it as if it were a case. Everything was so natural.
If he wasn't reading a book, how would he know he wanted to drink water?
I had questions in my heart, but I didn't want to ask him. I subconsciously longed for but avoided the answer from him.
At ten o'clock, Li Yueqi put down his book and stood up to say goodbye.
Aunt Wen walked him to the door and told him to come over for dinner if he had nothing to do. It would be troublesome to open a fire alone, so the lady wouldn't mind. After saying that, she specifically turned back to ask Lu Banxia, who was still sitting on the sofa.
Both of their eyes fell on her alone. Lu Banxia pursed her lips and hummed slightly.
Li Yueqi said good night to Aunt Wen and turned to leave. The moment he turned around, his thin lips curled up slightly, including a curve that he had never noticed.
************************Master, please recommend the dividing line for votes************************
*****
Unknowingly, I was already four months pregnant, and my belly started to show up slowly. I couldn’t wear the clothes I used to wear anymore, so I had to wear some loose and comfortable clothes.
The weather is gradually changing to early winter, and the wind is biting. Lu Banxia can only take advantage of the warmth and tranquility of the afternoon sun to go out for a walk.
During the weekly check-up, the doctor said that the child was normal and there was no hemolysis, but he still had to be extra careful. He also asked Lu Banxia to supplement her nutrition. Her weight was too light, and the child would not be able to keep up with nutrition...
Lu Banxia is also very worried about this. This pregnancy is not bad, and her appetite is not bad, but she will not gain weight no matter how much she eats. She works hard to supplement her nutrition every day, but compared to other pregnant women, her weight has always been very high.
light.
In the past month, Li Yueqi spent most of his time eating at their place, helping to make up for it.
For example, accompanying Lu Banxia for an inspection, or helping them buy carpets, including the kitchen, or if Aunt Wen couldn't get out of her way and needed something, Li Yueqi drove out to buy it.
In this month, Li Yueqi never entered Lu Banxia's bedroom, nor did he argue with each other. The two of them seemed like ordinary friends and neighbors, coexisting peacefully. Compared to the five years they were married, they now get along more harmoniously and have a tacit understanding.
Regarding certain topics, the two of them had a mutual understanding and said nothing. Li Yueqi didn't ask why Xingtian hadn't come back yet, and Lu Banxia didn't ask about him and Lu Zijin either. They didn't want to mention it, or they felt that they were not interested in each other.
It’s not appropriate to ask the other party such a topic based on their identity, or no one wants to upset the balance of the status quo.
Chu Bingyan asked her to go out for a chat, but Aunt Wen didn't follow because she had something to do. Li Yueqi had to go to court tomorrow and stayed at home to read the documents. Chu Bingyan came to pick her up in person.
Lu Banxia wore loose clothes to cover her belly. Chu Bingyan saw it when he got in the car and smiled: "How do you feel now?"
"It hurts and makes me happy." The pain refers to the protrusion of her belly. She is gradually having trouble sleeping, and her calf cramps are becoming more common. But these worries are nothing compared to the fact that the child is growing up safely in her belly day by day.
Happy coming!
Chu Bingyan smiled and said nothing. As a doctor, she knew better than anyone else about Lu Banxia's body. Now it seems that Lu Banxia is fine. Once hemolysis occurs, no one knows whether Lu Banxia's life can be saved!
Chu Bingyan asked Lu Banxia to come out because he wanted to buy some sets of maternity clothes for her, and then bought some sets of children's clothes for her.
Lu Banxia was not polite to her. When passing by the men's clothing store, she remembered the clothes and leather shoes that Li Yueqi helped soiled last time. It seemed that Aunt Wen took the initiative to help him wash the clothes. The shoes seemed to be thrown away because they said they could not wear them.
"What's wrong?" Chu Bingyan walked a few steps and saw that she hadn't followed. When he turned around, he saw her standing in front of the men's clothing closet and turned back.
Lu Banxia came back to her senses and smiled lightly: "Nothing, I want to buy a pair of leather shoes."
"Leather shoes?" Chu Bingyan looked at her with a strange look in his almond-shaped eyes. In the end, he walked with her into the men's clothing store without asking anything.
****
Li Yueqi knew that Lu Banxia was going out with Chu Bingyan, so he was not worried. He had to go to court tomorrow and he had to read all the information. When there was still some left, the doorbell rang suddenly.
He put down the information and got up to open the door.
"What are you doing here?" His handsome face was gloomy, and his eyes were cold.
The temperature was almost below zero. Lu Zijing wore stockings and boots, and a dark coat. The collar was open to reveal Bai Xi's collarbone. His eyes were a little complicated when he saw Li Yueqi.
"You blocked me, we haven't seen each other for a long time!"
"So..." Li Yueqi asked expressionlessly.
"You don't invite me to come in?" Lu Zijing came uninvited. Without Li Yueqi's consent, he walked directly into the hall and looked around his house. It was simple and elegant, and it didn't feel like home at all.
Li Yueqi frowned and didn't close the door. He didn't intend to let Lu Zijing stay here for a long time. He turned to look at her and said, "What on earth do you want to see me for?"
Lu Zijin didn't answer. After visiting his house, his thin lips curled up into a chuckle: "You are really interested in Lu Banxia. When you knew she moved here, you immediately bought the house next door to hers! After all, it's your old feelings for her that are hard to separate.
Or do you want to see her joke?"
Li Yueqi narrowed his cold eyes, leaned against the wall, put his hands in the pockets of his casual pants, and had no intention of answering her.
"I heard that she is pregnant. The child is not yours, right?" If the child was his, how could he divorce Lu Banxia? Moreover, she asked the doctor that Lu Banxia's child was born after she divorced Li Yueqi.
!
Li Yueqi glanced at him: "You want to know who the child is so much, why don't you ask your sister yourself?"
Lu Zi smiled earnestly and walked towards him: "I'm not interested at all in who the (wild) seed in her belly is! What I'm interested in is you..."
A mocking smile escaped Li Yueqi's thin lips, "Now that Lu Banxia and I are divorced, you are no longer a lawyer."
Since Lu Zijing was banned by him, no one in the industry dared to ask her, and people from the upper class would not ask her to litigate. Those ordinary people, Lu Zijing did not want to help them litigate. Later, I don’t know why, she
I joined Lu's Enterprise and is now a department manager.
"I know!" Lu Zijin suppressed his smile and said seriously: "I don't deny that I approached you at first because I wanted to get revenge on Lu Banxia, but later I really admired you and liked you! Li Yueqi, you
Think about it carefully, except for Lu Banxia, have I ever harmed you? After you had a car accident, I was the one who took care of you in the hospital for a month without sleep! Even if you were angry and blocked me for interfering in your personal affairs, I didn't
I'll do something sorry for you!"
"Lu Zijin, let's get straight to the point!" Li Yueqi narrowed his eyes, his face solemn and without any emotion. Lu Banxia might be back in a while. She is pregnant and can't bear the excitement. He doesn't want her to see Lu Zijin at this time.
"Li Yueqi, let's get married!"
Lu Zijin spoke with a normal expression, not joking.
Li Yueqi's eyebrows instantly wrinkled, his sharp eyes as cold as blades: "What are you crazy about?"
"I'm not crazy, I want to marry you!" Lu Zijing looked at him with clean and upright eyes: "Li Yueqi, Lu Banxia doesn't want you, I want you, let's get married. Doesn't she hate me very much? If
She should be very angry when we get married. Aren't you angry at her for being cruel and abandoning her? Isn't it just right to be with me and take revenge on her?!"
Li Yueqi looked at her and thought she was a lunatic, with a cold smile hidden on her thin lips.
"Li Yueqi, when we get married, I can give you anything you want from the Lu family after we get married!" Lu Zijing said and stretched out her arms to hug him, with a hint of begging in her voice.
——Bang!
Before Li Yueqi could react, a voice came from the door. The two of them looked sideways at the same time...
Lu Banxia stood at the door, looking at the two people "hugging" each other with cold eyes. The box she was holding fell to the ground in an instant. She didn't even know why.
Is it just because of Lu Zijin’s words: Let’s get married.
Lu Zijin didn't wait for Li Yueqi to push her away, and took the initiative to let go of her hand, looking towards the door with a smile.
Li Yueqi's eyebrows were furrowed and his face was so gloomy. He didn't expect her to come back so soon!
Lu Banxia calmly picked up the bag that fell on the ground, walked to the door, looked at Li Yueqi, his voice was as calm as the surface of the lake, without any ripples or wind.
"Last time you helped me and broke a pair of shoes, this is for you!" The bag was delivered to him, "Sorry, I disturbed you."
Li Yueqi's black eyes stared at her for a moment, without taking it or speaking.
Lu Zijing, who was standing aside, took it diligently and said in a sweet voice: "Then I will thank you for Yue Qi. By the way, I want to marry Yue Qi. What do you think, sister?"
Lu Banxia avoided his sharp eyes, and when her clear pupils met Lu Zijin's provocation, she replied tepidly: "I didn't know you were so impatient to bring the Lu family to make dowry and want to get married. Dad knew about it.
What do you think? The Lu family’s rattan must thank you, otherwise it would have been gathering dust for decades and never seen the light of day.”
"--you!"
Before Lu Zijin finished speaking, Lu Banxia had already turned around and left. When his back was turned to them, his nails dug into his palms quietly, constantly telling himself, don't look back, you can't look back!
Separated by a wall, it only took a few dozen seconds to go back, but Lu Banxia felt as if a century had passed.
"It seems like she is simply..."
Before Lu Zijin finished speaking, Li Yueqi squeezed out one word coldly from his throat: "Get out!"
"What?"
"Get out!" Li Yue prayed, his eyes looking cold and cold to her.
A chill crept up his back. No matter how stupid Lu Zijin was, he knew that he was angry at this moment and it was best for him to leave. A trace of reluctance flashed in his eyes, but when he thought that Lu Banxia saw that he should hate Li Yueqi even more in his heart, he felt secretly proud.
, turned around and left.
"Wait a minute!" Just as Lu Zijin took a step out the door, his cold voice came from behind.
Could it be that he had changed his mind and was willing to agree to his proposal? Before the joy could reach his brows, Li Yueqi came over, grabbed the bag in her hand, pushed her out, and slammed the door.
Her people were not knocked away.
The whole movement was smooth and neat, but Lu Zijin was so angry that he stood at the door and stamped his feet.
It's a pity that even if she stomps her feet and becomes disabled, Li Yueqi will not open the door and let her in.
Li Yueqi did not rush to knock on the door next door, knowing that even if he knocked, some people would be awkward and refused to open the door.
Now, they are divorced. I saw her calm and indifferent just now, so she must not care. Thinking about it carefully, the person who feels uncomfortable is actually me!
Li Yueqi took the bag and walked to the sofa and sat down, took out the shoe box, opened it, and tried on the leather shoes.
The size is just right and very comfortable to wear.
This seems to be the first time she buys shoes for herself!
…
When Lu Banxia returned home, Aunt Wen had come back and was sorting out the things she had bought in the kitchen, preparing to make dinner. She said coldly: "There is no need to cook Mr. Li's dinner tonight."
"Eh? What's wrong?" Aunt Wen looked at her puzzled.
Lu Banxia's calm face was stained with frost, and his eyes were cold. He didn't mean to repeat it a second time and went straight into the bedroom.
Aunt Wen thought that the two of them had a quarrel. Mr. Li made the young lady angry, so the young lady refused to give Mr. Li food. Oh, why did she suddenly feel that the young lady was a little - childish?
Dinner was on time. Lu Banxia didn't eat much. He said he had snacks with Chu Bingyan in the afternoon and was not very hungry. He put down his chopsticks and went back to the room, refusing to say another word.
In fact, after divorcing Li Yueqi, she never thought about what would happen to Li Yueqi and Lu Zijin, and she had never thought about such issues much. She was like an ostrich burying its head in the sand.
Escape from certain realities and settle into your own world.
This kind of behavior is somewhat selfish and weak, but she doesn't care about it. At present, she just hopes that Xiao Douya can come to this world safely.
Seeing Lu Zijing hugging Li Yueqi with her own eyes, and hearing the words that they were going to get married, she could not help but think of what happened two years ago, when she had a miscarriage, and he and Lu Zijing were in the hotel.
He explained that nothing happened, and she didn't completely believe in her heart that men couldn't control their lower bodies! If nothing happened, why did he have sex with Lu Zijing in the hotel, and didn't go to the hospital until dawn to question...
What he once said came to mind again.
——I'm not innocent, but I'm not sentimental either. I'm a man who has gone through a thousand sailings. Because of this, I resist all the temptations in this world!
Sigh, they have already divorced. Thinking about this at this moment is undoubtedly a waste of time!
…
Although Lu Banxia asked Aunt Wen not to prepare Li Yueqi's dinner, Aunt Wen was partial to Li Yueqi and left an extra portion when cooking. She did not invite Li Yueqi over for the meal. When Lu Banxia went back to the room to rest, she took the crisper
Sneak it to the next door.
When Aunt Wen didn't come to call him at meal time, Li Yueqi knew it was her intention. She was really concerned about it in her heart. When she saw Aunt Wen bringing the food over, her thin lips couldn't help but smile: "Is she asleep?"
"It should be, seeing as the lights go out." Aunt Wen replied softly and said earnestly: "Pregnant women have bad tempers, Mr. Li, you should be more tolerant of her."
Li Yueqi smiled: "I didn't have a good temper before I got pregnant." She is stubborn and extremely stubborn.
"Eh?"
"It's nothing." Li Yueqi pursed his lips and smiled, "I'll go see her."
Aunt Wen nodded. It was a good thing that Mr. Li was willing to talk to the lady. She was happy to see it happen and opened the door to welcome him.
*
Li Yueqi had just entered the room. Lu Banxia was still awake and sighed in her heart. Was this Aunt Wen the servant she hired, or was it Li Yueqi's?
He tiptoed to the bedside, the door was closed, and the light in the living room fell on the floor through the gap. He sat on the bedside and gently pressed the corner of the quilt for her.
He sat in the darkness for a long time without speaking or leaving. He stared at her through the dim light. To be honest, her concern made him feel a little secretly happy. At least he could deceive himself that she still had a trace of it.
Care about yourself.
Lu Banxia closed her eyes and fell asleep, thinking that he would sit there for a while and then leave. Unexpectedly, he kept sitting there with no intention of leaving. He felt inexplicably irritable, a bit like a broken jar.
"Have you seen enough?" She opened her eyes suddenly and glared at him coldly.
Li Yueqi saw that she no longer pretended to be asleep, and raised her thin lips slightly: "No."
Liu frowned and was about to sit up. Li Yueqi reached out to help her up. He took the pillow next to her with his long arm and stuffed it behind her waist. He then lifted the quilt up, fearing that she would catch cold.
Lu Banxia turned on the headlights. The light was dim, and the orange light accentuated his cold and hard silhouette. She didn't know what he meant by running to sit next to his ex-wife in the middle of the night.
"Li Yueqi, did you move here on purpose?" She had been holding this sentence in her heart for a long time. She never asked. She knew very well in her heart that 90% of the time he knew she was here, so he moved here. He just wanted to
He needs to admit it personally, otherwise there will be no way to continue the conversation.
However, Li Yueqi obviously didn't want to have a deep conversation with her, and his faint voice was soft in the silent night: "The shoes fit my feet very well, thank you."
Lu Banxia punched the cotton. Lu Banxia was unable to use any strength. She stared at him with slightly angry eyes, said nothing, and looked indifferent.
"The doctor said you need to take more nutrition. If you are hungry at night, don't do it yourself. If you are embarrassed to call me Aunt Wen, just call me." He whispered softly, as if the child in her belly was him and she was still his wife.
.
Lu Banxia looked at him with complicated eyes, about to speak. But he spoke first: "No matter how hungry I am, even if there is only one woman left in the world, Lu Zijin, I will never touch her!"
