”Hello, Tiantian,” Mrs. Jiang’s voice came through the microphone, always revealing a bit of unreality, “How are you recently?”

　　When Jiang Huai heard her voice, he didn’t think anything of it at first.

　　Until Jiang Qimin’s voice came from the other end of the microphone, and he urged in a low voice: “Why are you wasting your time? Just ask.”

　　Jiang Huai held the phone and wanted to hang up.

　　Seeing that he didn’t say anything, Mrs. Jiang smiled to herself and said awkwardly, “Mom doesn’t mean anything else. I just want to ask how you are getting along with Mr. Lu recently?”

　　Jiang Huai said: “Not bad.”

　　Mrs. Jiang also noticed his indifference, but with her husband urging her, she could only bite the bullet and continue, “How is it good?”

　　Jiang Qimin lowered his voice: “Can’t you stop talking nonsense!”

　　Jiang Huai paused, then hung up the phone.

　　The person on the other end was also confused. After a few minutes, he called back. This time, the person on the other end was Jiang Qimin.

　　Jiang Qimin speaks in a rather strong voice.

　　He believed that he had given his son everything he could, so he was not as cautious as Mrs. Jiang.

　　——Obviously, he didn’t feel that sending his child to marry in order to maintain his own interests was a betrayal.

　　”Look at what you look like now. How could you hang up on your mother?”

　　Jiang Huai paused.

　　He reacted for a moment and felt that Jiang Qimin was right.

　　So, he hung up the phone on Jiang Qimin as well.

　　Now we treat everyone equally.

　　Jiang Qimin & Mrs. Jiang: …

　　Jiang Qimin seemed to be anxious and kept calling him. It took Jiang Huai a long time before he answered the phone and heard Jiang Qimin’s softened tone.

　　”Dad doesn’t mean anything else,” Jiang Qimin said, “I just want to ask how you and Mr. Lu are doing recently, and when you plan to have a baby.”

　　Jiang Huai paused.

　　He hung up the phone again.

　　This time, Jiang Qimin finally stopped making any movement.

　　In his previous life, even when Jiang Huai fell ill and died in the Tao family, Jiang Qimin never agreed to let him go home.

　　Jiang Huai thought about the fact that they lied to him that they could have children – maybe it was just a cover-up made up by Jiang Qimin for profit, a lie to gain greater benefits.

　　He had already been taught by Lu Wusou that men and women have different structures.

　　Although he and Lu Wusui had many differences in views, they were on the same front on this point.

　　The reason why Jiang Huai accepted Lu Wusui’s statement so quickly.

　　Maybe deep down in his heart, he still longs to be a normal person.

　　So when Lu Wusui showed him the blueprints and taught him the physiological differences between men and women, he almost instantly sided with Lu Wusui for no reason.

　　*

　　Mrs. Lu recovered from her illness after a month.

　　She said she had recovered, but it was obvious that her health was not as good as before.

　　Because of her illness, many people in the Lu family focused their attention on Lu Wusui.

　　Mainly wanting to keep an eye on his child.

　　Even if it’s adoption or finding a son or daughter – as long as there’s any movement from his side, the Lu family’s property will probably fall into his pocket.

　　Many people are eager to do something.

　　However, the Lu family hopes to prevent Lu Wusui from having children.

　　The Jiang family’s ideas are completely opposite to theirs.

　　Originally, they did not push Jiang Huai very hard, because the Lu family was too deep, and now they could not tie down a man with just a child.

　　But it’s different now.

　　Madam Lu has already spoken. As long as Jiang Huai gives birth to their Lu family’s child…

　　The Jiang family will also follow this child and enjoy the glory brought by this century-old tree.

　　Let’s talk about the long-term future. When Lu Wusou gives up his position, who will take over? It must be his son.

　　And the Jiang family is the maternal family of Lu Wusui’s son!

　　People on both sides were busy with their own thoughts.

　　*

　　While everyone was nervous, Jiang Huai and Lu Wusui were in a peaceful state.

　　Upon learning that Madam Lu was fine, Jiang Huai finally put his mind at ease after being worried for many days.

　　With nothing to worry about, the two of them were finally able to discuss the agreement that had been put on hold for a long time.

　　At night, Jiang Huai and Lu Wusui sat on the bed.

　　Lu Wusui took out Jiang Huai’s bedside table and placed the doll on it.

　　Lu Wusui’s expression was calm, and he placed the paper he printed out in the company in front of Jiang Huai.

　　”You still remember that you owe me money for a vase, right?”

　　Jiang Huai didn’t expect him to mention this, and suddenly became nervous, “I’m saving money…”

　　”I’m not asking you to pay it back now,” Lu Wusui tapped the table with his fingertips, “but I suddenly remembered that I need to add another debt to you.”

　　Jiang Huai was stunned for a moment, then he became unhappy, “Why do you want to add it to me?”

　　”This thing,” Lu Wusui took out a few pieces from somewhere and placed them in front of Jiang Huai, “Do you still remember it?”

　　Jiang Huai: …

　　He was very impressed.

　　At that time, he had just moved into the Lu family and had not even lived with Lu Wusui.

　　While planting flowers on the balcony, he broke a flowerpot… and hid in the soil of another pot.

　　Jiang Huai felt a little embarrassed for once. He avoided Lu Wusui’s gaze and glanced to the sides.

　　He looked like he wanted to deny it, but couldn’t.

　　A smile flashed across Lu Wusui’s lips, then disappeared, and he said seriously: “Let’s take a look at the contract.”

　　Jiang Huai opened the contract reluctantly.

　　The contract did not add any excessive content.

　　But there is one thing.

　　During their marriage, in order to ensure the bed was clean and tidy, he used the money from the vases he broke as a reward.

　　For example, if Jiang Huai could go three days without eating in bed, his debt of 10,000 yuan would be forgiven.

　　If you keep it for six days, 30,000 will be exempted, and if you keep it for twelve days, 70,000 will be exempted.

　　The three days are cumulative. The longer you maintain it, the more rewards you will get.

　　Jiang Huai’s little thoughts were truly grasped by Lu Wusui.

　　His eyes suddenly lit up.

　　From his perspective, this clause does him no harm, only benefits.

　　Isn’t it just about ensuring the bed is clean and tidy?

　　He thought the bed was quite tidy now.

　　For Lu Wusui, it was totally worth it to spend this little money to correct Jiang Huai’s minor problems.

　　”I forgot to mention,” Lu Wusui added, “the standard for keeping the bed clean and tidy is based on my standards. If I don’t think it’s okay, then it doesn’t count.”

　　Jiang Huai was stunned for a moment.

　　Having experienced the previous experience of being played word games by him, how could Lu Wusui let him take advantage of him a second time?

　　”But…” Jiang Huai hesitated.

　　But Lu Wusui didn’t like what he did in bed too much!

　　Lu Wusui remained unmoved.

　　Jiang Huai thought that he probably wouldn’t be staying in the Lu family for long, only a few months, so he just had to endure it.

　　He nodded resolutely.

　　The two parties reached a consensus on this new contract.

　　After he finished signing, Lu Wusui raised the corners of his mouth slightly and leaned slowly on the bed, “These dolls…”

　　Jiang Huai said: “I’ll take it away right away!”

　　Lu Wusui leaned against the head of the bed and easily got Jiang Huai to move all the dolls away.

　　——This was probably the most relaxing and enjoyable victory he had ever had in the battle between him and Jiang Huai in bed.

　　Not only that, Jiang Huai also dusted the sheets before going to bed, trying to make them as clean as new.

　　Lu Wusui nodded reluctantly, “It’s OK.”

　　Jiang Huai tried, “Then today…”

　　”I’ll count it for you, minus 10,000,” Lu Wusui said, “Go to sleep.”

　　Jiang Huai became happier and turned off the lights on his own initiative.

　　I’ve never seen him so attentive before.

　　In the darkness, Lu Wusui closed his eyes and hid his smile.

　　*

　　A few days later, Mrs. Jiang came to see Jiang Huai.

　　In fact, ever since Jiang Huai married into the Lu family, he has had very little contact with the Jiang family.

　　The last phone call was one of the few times they showed concern for Jiang Huai.

　　Although their purpose is not to care about him.

　　This time, only Mrs. Jiang came alone. It was probably because Jiang Qimin knew that he was not popular with his son, so he simply didn’t come over.

　　Coincidentally, Lu Wusui was also at home.

　　Jiang Huai didn’t expect her to come, he was originally painting.

　　He first heard the doorbell ring, and then the housekeeper came in and whispered something to Lu Wusui.

　　Lu Wusui looked at Jiang Huai and said, “Your mother is here.”

　　Jiang Huai blinked, and the hand holding the paintbrush paused. After a long time, he said “Oh”.

　　Lu Wusui felt that his attitude was a bit strange.

　　When he was at the engagement party before, he looked at this family and it didn’t look like a normal family.

　　Of course, in their circle, dysfunctional families are the norm.

　　Only at that time he still suspected that Jiang Huai was approaching him deliberately, and he didn’t pay much attention to it – but now he couldn’t help but pay more attention to it.

　　After Mrs. Jiang was invited in, Jiang Huai’s attitude became even stranger.

　　When Mrs. Jiang saw Lu Wusui, the expression on her face froze obviously, and then she greeted Lu Wusui with a flattering smile.

　　That doesn’t seem like the attitude a mother-in-law or an elder should have at all.

　　In fact, this is not surprising, after all, many people are afraid of Lu Wusui.

　　After the housekeeper served tea to Madam Jiang, Lu Wusui also stood up and said, “Do you need to talk alone?”

　　Mrs. Jiang nodded with an extremely cautious attitude and wanted to say something nice in front of Lu Wusui, but Lu Wusui had already turned his head and left.

　　When there were only two of them left, Jiang Huai put down his paintbrush.

　　He didn’t look at Mrs. Jiang, “Why did you come here suddenly?”

　　Mrs. Jiang suddenly stepped forward and grabbed his hand, “Tiantian, why didn’t you answer the phone?”

　　Jiang Huai tried to pull his hand away, but failed.

　　”Did mom push you too hard?” Mrs. Jiang apologized, “Mom didn’t mean it, but it’s not just mom, your dad is also very anxious…”

　　Jiang Huai lowered his head and didn’t want to talk.

　　Madam Jiang whispered, “Tiantian, is there any movement in your stomach?”

　　Mrs. Jiang was relatively tactful before.

　　Maybe Jiang Qimin has been pushing her too hard recently, so she gradually showed her true colors and pressed harder and harder each time.

　　Seeing that he didn’t answer, Mrs. Jiang became anxious and actually reached out to touch Jiang Huai’s belly.

　　Jiang Huai didn’t react and was stunned for a moment.

　　Mrs. Jiang did not dare to use too much strength. After all, if he was really pregnant, the child inside would be much more precious than her.

　　She pretended to be gentle: “Do you feel uncomfortable here? Have you wanted to eat anything strange recently?”

　　Jiang Huai couldn’t help himself and wanted to wave her hand away.

　　At this moment, Lu Wusui stood at the stairs, his face gloomy and uncertain, “Mrs. Jiang, what are you doing?”

　　Mrs. Jiang was startled and quickly let go of her hand.

　　Lu Wusui walked down the stairs in a few steps and protected Jiang Huai firmly behind him.

　　Looking at the stalemate between these three people, if an uninformed person was present, they would think that he and Jiang Huai were a family.
