âSo what if itâs a son? Will my nephew offend him or something?â Lu Yuqing did not know whether to laugh or cry. âDonât listen to him. When the child is born, he will definitely dote on his son. As long as the baby is yours, do you think he will be willing to treat the baby so simply?â
He was her brother; how could Lu Yuqing not understand him?
Jiang Yao rubbed her belly, shook her head, and burst into laughter. It was hard to say.
Just as Jiang Yao and Lu Yuqing arrived home, Lu Xingzhiâs phone call came through. He asked if Jiang Yao had arrived yet, whether it was a tiring journey, and so on.
As Jiang Yao sat on the sofa to answer the phone, Lu Yuqing helped Jiang Yao carry her luggage upstairs. When she came downstairs, she was not surprised at all. Jiang Yao was still holding her phone and chatting on the phone. She was still smiling. No one knew what Lu Xingzhi had said on the phone to make her so happy.
Lu Yuqing sat on the sofa and casually picked up the newspaper. She would wait for Jiang Yao and Lu Xingzhi to finish their call before asking Jiang Yao what she wanted to eat for lunch.
When she heard Jiang Yaoâs one-sided conversation, Lu Yuqing realized that the couple only talked about casual everyday topics. Jiang Yao smiled as she spoke, and she looked exceptionally graceful.
Lu Yuqing was a little absent-minded. She could not help but think of how Jiang Yao looked when she first married Lu Xingzhi.
One could always tell how much a woman cared for her husband through her eyes.
Lu Yuqing secretly laughed in her heart. At least Lu Xingzhi persisted and melted Jiang Yaoâs initial ice-cold personality.
Jiang Yao and Lu Xingzhi talked for more than ten minutes before hanging up. Then, she noticed that Lu Yuqing looked at her with a mocking gaze.
If that were in the past, Jiang Yao would probably be embarrassed by Lu Yuqingâs gaze. However, she realized that her skin had gotten thicker.
âWhat do you want to eat for lunch?â
Lu Yuqing said, âI donât know how to cook, but I can get food delivered.â
Lu Yuqingâs culinary skills were not enough to cook for Jiang Yao, and Jiang Yao also could not cook a decent meal for Lu Yuqing.
âLetâs order some dishes,â Jiang Yao replied. She thought for a moment and said, âJust tell them nothing that a pregnant woman canât eat.â
Before Jiang Yao could finish her words, her phone rang again. It was as if it did not want her to be lonely.
âItâs Hong Ke. Maybe heâs checking in to see if Iâve arrived.â Jiang Yao glanced at the incoming call and picked it up. She thought that Hong Ke was asking her if she had arrived in Nanjiang city; she did not expect to hear such a huge piece of good news from him.
âDirector Jiang! Our vaccine research has finally made significant progress,â Hong Ke l s voice was loud and clear. Even Lu Yuqing could hear it. It was clear how excited she was.
âDirector Jiang! God is helping us. We have finally made significant progress in our vaccine research on the eve of the conference. Weâd be able to show off to those old geezers!â Hong Ke was so excited that she could not calm down at all.
Their vaccine research was the first independent project after their team graduated. Many had always looked down on their project. They had even gotten very little funding for it. It was even abandoned at some point. Lin Techeng thought that it was because people thought that they were too young. At least they had a conclusion to the project, and they were very glad for that..
