o's apartment building. She didn't have her driver take her up; she knew the building well as it was also under her property management and considered safe.As soon as she reached the elevator, she saw...Mrs. Gu was actually quite sensible. She didn't dare act like the mistress of the house when she came here, and everything she did revolved around YaoYao's schedule and habits.

Lu Yaoyao's work hours are not fixed, sometimes she only gets up in the afternoon, shoots until late at night, and Gu Ruandong goes to pick her up.

She didn't mind Mrs. Gu coming to live at home, after all, she was Gu Ruan Dong's mother, and it was normal for her to stay for a while. So if she wasn't going out to work, they would have dinner together and chat, getting along in a lukewarm way.

Mother Gu intentionally flattered her.

"Yao Yao, you've done a great job with your charity fund. I've gotten so many friends around me to donate, and as far as I know, you've helped rescue quite a few girls."

"Thanks to my mom's support, the foundation has been mainly cooperating with local public security departments and women's federations. Since the Spring Festival, we have indeed obtained a lot of useful clues." Although she wasn't directly involved, Chen Ning would proactively report back to her every now and then.

"Yaoyao, you're amazing. Mom was a housewife her whole life and thought that was the happiest she could be. Now seeing you, I realize that no matter how good the conditions are for women, having your own career is the best."

Gu's mother suddenly poured out her heart, making Yao Yao feel a little awkward. She could only reply, "Mom, this is good too. Everyone has different life experiences."

"Well, but people like you and Ruanruan, who have your own careers, life has meaning."

"Speaking of Ruan Ruan, Yaoyao, do you have time Accompany Mom to see her. From pregnancy to now, I haven't visited her as an aunt yet."

"Sure, I haven't seen her in a while either." Lu Yao didn't think much of it. Ruan Ruan's due date was just around the corner, and she had planned to visit her anyway. Coincidentally, Gu Ruandong had a business engagement tonight that would keep him home late.

In late pregnancy, Ruan Ruan's belly grew visibly larger every day. Lu Yaoyao hadn't seen her in just half a month, and her stomach had grown another circle. She was still very slender, with only her belly protruding.

Lu Kuo is now a model husband, even though he's very busy with work, he insists on picking her up from school every morning and evening. When they get home, he won't let Ruan Ruan do anything, carefully taking care of her by his side.

As soon as they entered, Lu Kuo first squatted down in front and helped Ruan Ruan take off her shoes, then found slippers to change into for her.

Look at Yao Yao, he's quite moved. He used to be such a careless person, but now he's so thoughtful. His dog brother has really grown up this year.

"He's the most anxious one, always wanting to feed me," Ruan said with a smile as she ushered them inside.

Lu Kuò: "It's not just because I'm nervous, but also because you work so hard and refuse to take a day off. I just want you to be able to rest more when you get home. I can only do so little to help share the burden."

Lu Kuò used to think that pregnancy and childbirth were a woman's nature, very simple, until Ruan Ruan became pregnant, he felt the hardship. Early pregnancy nausea and weakness, later being squeezed by the fetus often feeling shortness of breath, or unable to sleep at night, thinking about the pain and danger of giving birth, he was afraid just thinking about it. He suddenly understood why Zhuo Yu'an, even with regrets, resolutely did not want a second child. He thought that when the opportunity arose, he might as well learn from Zhuo Yu'an and get a vasectomy.

“I treat going to work every day as exercise, it’s great, you see how light I am now, like a swallow. Not as exaggerated as you said.”

Neighboring Gu's mother chimed in, "Just let him take care of her. When a woman is pregnant, she's the empress for ten months, and a lifetime nanny..."

The room suddenly fell silent, as if death had descended. Gu's mother knew she had spoken out of turn again. This mouth of hers truly… she even disliked it herself.

Lu Kuo broke the awkward silence first: "No, the women of our Lu family, no matter what time, are always empresses for life."

The saying is a double entendre. "Lujia women" refers not only to Ruanruan but also to Yaoya, both of whom are empresses in their own right and not simply maidservants for anyone's household.

"Yes, yes, yes, those are just old sayings. Ruanruan is lucky to have married such a good husband." Mrs. Gu hurriedly smoothed things over.

Lu Yaoyao now understood, Gu Ruandong's mother was a kind person at heart, but she often spoke before thinking and made mistakes. In short, she had low emotional intelligence.

After all, they were seniors, so the three of them didn't say anything more and quickly changed the subject. However, Mrs. Gu always managed to bring up Ruanruan's pregnancy in just a few sentences.

When is your due date

Have you found out if it's a boy or a girl yet

Could I take a look at the nursery

Every sentence is a concern for Ruanruan, but every word also reminds Yaoyao that it's time to prepare for having a child.

I understand, it seems Ruan Ruan is a fabrication, while the veiled hints point to someone else being real.

Lu Yaoyao's face turned a little dark, and she didn't speak the rest of the way.

And Lu Kuo, this heartless man, although he usually protects his sister very well, when it comes to non-principled matters, he's the most enthusiastic about watching the show. He chimes in with Gu Mu, not only taking her to the nursery to see the decorations but also showing off all sorts of baby clothes and baby products, making Gu Mu's eyes turn red with envy. Looking at Yao Yao's belly, she couldn't hide her eagerness.

Lu YaoYao couldn't stay there for a moment longer, she got up and said, "Mom, let's go home."

I was hoping to wait for Gu Ruandong to pick me up, but I couldn't wait any longer.

After they left, Ruirui looked at Lu Kuo and sighed: "Sometimes I think you're very smart, sometimes you're so naive."

"What's wrong" Lu Kuò didn't think he was being foolish.

"You're really angry that YaoYao didn't see you"

"I know, I did it on purpose. I'm standing with Mom Gu on this. Didn't you say that your age is the best time to have kids Your body recovers quickly."

"So, have you ever thought that if she and your brother plan to be childfree, wouldn't pressuring her like this put pressure on her On the other hand, if they want children but haven't conceived yet, wouldn't it be a bit unkind to keep pressuring her"

Lu Kuo heard and agreed, realizing he had gone a bit too far with the jokes today. “I’ll go reflect,” he said.

Lu Yaya doesn't feel much pressure about getting pregnant. Both she and Gu Ruandong believe in letting things happen naturally.

The media keeps focusing on her belly, but she doesn't mind. It doesn't affect her life anyway. But everyone around her is so focused on it, she's starting to get annoyed.

After that, at home I tried to avoid Grandma Gu as much as possible.

Cuiping also protects her very much. She doesn't make those messy tonics and nutritional supplements for her if she can help it, and still prepares three meals a day according to her original dietary plan.

In the morning, when she was about to go out to work, Cuiping came to help her tidy up the bedroom and comforted her: "That's how the older generation thinks. It takes a process of acceptance. Mrs. Gu is just outspoken and well-meaning. Don't take it to heart. Mr. Gu respects you very much."

Lu Yaoyao hurried out the door, and Shan Shan was waiting for her downstairs, so she didn't delve into what Cui Ping meant by her words and why she suddenly said that.released from prison early. Without her, Da Jin wouldn't have died.Gu Ruandong heard her mention YaoYao's name and coldly warned, "She has nothing to do with this, don't drag her into it.""Bao Sang al...
