Chapter 179 : Yaoyao’s Grievance

Once the storm passed, Lu Yunyao returned to campus.

She had expected to face many pointed stares, but to her surprise, she received concern from some classmates.

“Lu Yunyao, are you okay? We heard about what happened online. It turns out you were slandered by bad people.”

“I knew it! People at our school couldn’t possibly mistreat animals, it must be false!”

“My friend and I cleared things up for you. Only those with a few screws loose are still spreading rumors. Don’t take their words to heart.”

“Take care of yourself, don’t let this make you anxious. That’ll only give those petty people satisfaction.”

Lu Yunyao felt a wave of gratitude swell in her heart.

“Thank you, everyone. Thank you.”

“No need to thank us, we’re classmates. It’s the least we can do.”

Although every school has a few annoying individuals, most people are genuinely kind at heart.

It’s just that, without encountering any issues, it’s hard to see who’s good and who’s bad.

In the afternoon, there was a physical fitness test, but Lu Yunyao, due to her special circumstances, didn’t have to participate.

However, she and Fang Yanran went to the school store together to buy a lot of water, drinks, cakes, and fruit to share with those who had spoken up for her.

“Lu Yunyao is really nice, she doesn’t act like a spoiled rich girl at all.”

“Yeah, look at Yao Xuan’er and Gu Qingyu, all high and mighty, they look down on us ordinary people.”

“Lu Yunyao is much better, she feels like a friendly neighbor, gentle and kind.”

Lu Yunyao touched her little belly.

Could it be the baby bringing her good luck? Recently, her social life had improved a lot.

After returning to the Fu family villa, Lu Yunyao shared this with her Mr.

“Mr, do you think the baby is a little lucky star? Ever since they arrived, my relationships have improved!”

Fu Sichan pinched her cheek.

“You’ve always been someone people care about.”

With such a good personality, who wouldn’t want to be friends with her over time?

Only those with ulterior motives would fear her light and avoid being around her.

“Come eat.”

Although there were only two of them dining, the table was filled with a sumptuous array of dishes, each one exquisitely prepared.

Lu Yunyao was surprised. “Aunt Liu, why did you make so many dishes?”

Aunt Liu wiped her hands with an apron and smiled.

“Ma’am, I didn’t do this alone, I worked with a few others in the kitchen. Since you haven’t had much of an appetite, Mr. Fu instructed us to prepare more dishes to suit your tastes.”

Now that they had moved to the Fu family villa, there were easily over twenty servants attending to them.

Preparing this big spread was a piece of cake.

Lu Yunyao couldn’t help but be amazed; she had never lived such a luxurious life.

Even when she visited the Lu family, it had never been this extravagant!

Could it be that her Mr was even wealthier than the Lu family?

But he had said he only had a little money.

“What are you thinking about? Eat up, it’ll lose its flavor if it gets cold.”

Fu Sichan gently tapped the back of the little girl’s head with his chopsticks.

Lu Yunyao covered her head. “Mr, don’t do that!”

“Why not?”

“If you keep tapping my head like that, the baby will become stupid!”

“Let them be stupid, anyway, they won’t be as smart as their dad.”

Lu Yunyao was both annoyed and amused.

“Mr, you’re so narcissistic!”

Fu Sichan picked up a damp cloth, took her hand, and carefully wiped her fingers clean.

“Hurry up and eat, don’t let the baby go hungry.”

“Oh.”

Lu Yunyao lowered her head and started picking at her rice.

“Mr, I want to eat sashimi.”

Fu Sichan frowned. “Why do you suddenly want to eat sashimi?”

“I heard Li Siyu mention it today. I’ve never had it before.”

“What kind of sashimi do you want? I can have the kitchen cook it for you.”

Lu Yunyao pouted. “If it’s cooked, then it’s not sashimi anymore!”

Fu Sichan’s expression turned serious.

“Do you remember you’re pregnant? You can’t just eat sashimi whenever you want.”

What if there were parasites in it? That would be a big deal.

“Alright.”

Lu Yunyao’s eyes reddened, and she lowered her head, feeling dejected.

That night, the villa was brightly lit.

Fu Sichan sat in the living room handling work and glanced at the time; it was already midnight.

“Has Madam gone to sleep?”

The butler replied, “Madam has already gone to bed.”

Fu Sichan went upstairs to take a shower but didn’t return to the master bedroom, instead, he settled in the study next door.

In the pitch-black room, Lu Yunyao opened her big eyes, tossing and turning unable to sleep.

Feeling wronged, she hugged her little blanket tightly.

Why did it always seem like her Mr. cared more about the baby than about her?

Did her Mr treat her well just because she was his wife and the future mother of his child?

Lu Yunyao knew she shouldn’t be thinking like this, but she had always felt a bit insecure.

Plus, Bai Xuan’s appearance made her realize just how ordinary she was.

Bai Xuan came from a noble background, having lived in comfort since childhood, always an object of envy.

Not to mention, she was a top student who could keep up with her Mr.

And what about her? She was just a broke college student with nothing.

In recent days, her Mr. hadn’t been sleeping next to her.

Did he already find her unappealing?

A flurry of thoughts flashed through Lu Yunyao’s mind, but she forced herself to clear away the chaotic ideas and shut her eyes, trying to force herself to sleep.

No, she needed to think about the baby and get to bed earlier.

The next morning, when Lu Yunyao woke up, she had dark circles under her eyes.

Fu Sichan thought she had stayed up late reading novels.

There had been instances like this before.

With a stern face, he scolded, “What time did you go to bed last night?”

Lu Yunyao yawned, her head almost buried in her bowl.

“Eleven.”

Fu Sichan, concerned for her health, couldn’t help but sound a bit harsher.

“Do you know you’re pregnant? Were you up late reading novels again, or listening to music? Why didn’t you go to bed on time?”

Hearing this, Lu Yunyao’s tears began to fall.

“Mr, please don’t scold me anymore.”

“I know I’m pregnant, and I’ll take good care of our baby. But you and Grandma only care about the baby, no one cares about how I feel.”

Grandma would occasionally call, her concern always focused on the baby in her belly.

When Mr. got home from work, he reminded her daily that she was pregnant, insisting she eat the best meals.

Did only the child deserve their care? Was she unworthy of concern?

Lu Yunyao cried, her shoulders shaking.

Fu Sichan felt a sharp pang in his heart.

He realized his recent mistake.

Both he and Grandma had been too focused on the baby, neglecting Yaoyao’s feelings.

After all, she was still just a young girl who had just turned eighteen.

Fu Sichan’s stern expression softened as he gently wiped away her tears with a tissue.

“Little girl, don’t cry. I was wrong.”
