His movement was too abrupt.
Yu Sheng had almost no time to react before her forehead collided squarely with his shoulder.
Even through the fabric of his clothes, she could feel how hard his bones were.
Recalling that night when he pressed down on her, it had been just as heavy—his bones aching her body sorely.
Yu Sheng let out a muffled groan, raising her hand to rub her forehead as a wave of dizziness washed over her, making her feel as if she might collapse at any moment.
Wen Zhuqing, who had initially intended to press further, was startled by her reaction.
His arms stiffened slightly as he supported her, quickly guiding her to sit on the sofa.
“Where does it hurt? I’m sorry, I…”
How could he have forgotten? She was pregnant now.
He lifted his hand, his warm palm resting on the girl’s forehead, patiently massaging it gently. “Are my bones too hard? Did I hurt you?”
Uh…
Yu Sheng felt too embarrassed to speak, pursing her lips and not even daring to meet Wen Zhuqing’s gaze.
Even though there was no emotional foundation between them, they had, after all, shared an intimate relationship.
And they were already married.
As adults, in such an ambiguous atmosphere, it was all too easy to act impulsively.
Yu Sheng shot an angry glare at Wen Zhuqing, the flicker of resentment in her eyes not escaping his notice.
As if suddenly remembering something, Yu Sheng placed her hands on her hips and puffed out her flat stomach. “Hmph~”
The meaning was unmistakable.
Wen Zhuqing naturally understood the implication of her gesture and chuckled softly, tapping her forehead lightly with his finger.
“Hmm, is Mrs. Wen trying to hold the emperor hostage to command the nobles?”
Yu Sheng: …Yes, she was going to take advantage of her pregnancy to get her way!
Grrr!
The little girl had no idea how utterly adorable she looked in Wen Zhuqing’s eyes at that moment.
When the secretary knocked and entered, carrying numerous bags of items, he carefully arranged them one by one.
Wen Zhuqing glanced at the abundance of food before him, then at Yu Sheng.
Although none of it suited his taste, he had read online guides: to become a good husband and father, he shouldn’t interfere with a pregnant woman’s dietary freedom.
After all,
During morning sickness, being able to keep food down was already an achievement in itself.
At the sight of the delicious food, Yu Sheng immediately forgot about the earlier incident with Wen Zhuqing and happily began to eat.
Meanwhile, the employee group chat at Wen Corporation was going wild!
[Is the news about Young Master Wen getting married true???]
[Ahhh! The Living Yama is actually getting married? I thought he’d end up alone!]
[I’m so curious, really, what kind of woman could possibly tame him!]
The secretary, using a secondary account, timidly chimed in:
[I heard Mrs. Wen is already pregnant!]
That single remark stirred up a storm.
The discussion in the group escalated to another level. Initially, he had expected many female employees to think Yu Sheng wasn’t worthy of Wen Zhuqing.
Or that some might sarcastically imply Yu Sheng was leveraging her pregnancy to marry into wealth.
It wasn’t that he assumed the worst in people,
But wasn’t that how it always played out in TV dramas and novels?
To his surprise, the focus of the discussion turned out to be: [I believe it! Getting off work early today and having a team dinner must be Young Master Wen’s way of rewarding us!!!]
[“Believer is willing to go vegetarian for three days, praying all deities bless Young Master Wen and his wife with lasting love till old age.”]
[“I believe in love again, but I still won’t step into the Matchmaking Temple!”]
[“Sprinkling flowers, wedding candies”]
[“Woohoo, so happy”]
Reading the group chat messages, the secretary silently facepalmed.
Just as expected.
Contemporary young people would fervently ship fictional couples, but when it came to themselves, they’d kneel forever before the God of Wealth.
Thinking this, he quickly opened a photo of Guanyin Bodhisattva and bowed in prayer.
“Since Young Master Wen registered his marriage, his mood has clearly stabilized significantly. For the safety of all employees in the company, please Bodhisattva, keep these two firmly together!”
After having lunch in Wen Zhuqing’s office, Yu Sheng contentedly patted her full stomach and let out a satisfied burp.
Then, holding her phone, she lazily slumped onto the sofa.
Before Wen Zhuqing could say anything, she had already fallen asleep by the time he turned around.
Wen Zhuqing called Aunt Jiang with some concern to inquire, learning that Yu Sheng had been this sleepy recently, basically dozing off right after meals.
“Young Master, don’t worry. This is normal during pregnancy – it means the baby is developing well!”
Only then did Wen Zhuqing feel relieved.
He fetched a blanket to cover Yu Sheng, watching the delicate face of the young girl still wearing a faint smile in her sleep.
He couldn’t help but curl the corners of his mouth upward.
If he hadn’t learned from Aunt Jiang that the Yu family had come to trouble her again today, Wen Zhuqing wouldn’t have known she was hiding so many worries in her heart.
“So why didn’t you tell me?”
Was it distrust, or…?
While Yu Sheng was sleeping, the secretary knocked and entered, presenting Gu Chen’s profile to Wen Zhuqing.
“Apologies, but since Madam looked at Young Master Gu somewhat unusually today, I took the liberty to investigate some information about him.”
Having stayed by Wen Zhuqing’s side for so many years, he naturally had his exceptional qualities.
Wen Zhuqing glanced through the materials, and when he saw terms like “childhood sweethearts” and “engagement arrangement,” he directly slammed the documents hard onto the desk.
The next second.
The young girl on the sofa seemed disturbed in her sleep, stirring slightly, her furrowed brows showing her discomfort.
Wen Zhuqing hastily picked up the documents again, carefully observing Yu Sheng, and only relaxed after confirming she hadn’t been awakened.
His gaze turned cold as it fell upon the documents.
Gu Chen?
Wen Zhuqing patiently read through all his information before letting out a light laugh.
Not worth worrying about.
“Hmm, you did well. Double your bonus this month!”After leaving the office, the secretary quietly gave himself a cheer gesture.” He knew it – Young Master Wen’s attitude toward Madam was completely different!
Hehe!
From now on, if any issues arise, just go cling to Madam’s side – definitely the right move!
Gu Chen had just returned to the country and wanted to discuss cooperation with Wen Zhuqing, but today he couldn’t even get an audience with him.
As he stepped out of the elevator, the corner of his eye seemed to catch a very familiar figure.
At this time, Yu Sheng should still be at school.
Why would she appear at Wen Corporation?
Must be his imagination.
After leaving Wen Corporation, he sent several messages to Yu Sheng but received no reply, and her phone was unreachable.
“Yu Sheng, I know you’re still angry with me, but I’m sorry—the one originally engaged to me was the eldest daughter of the Yu family.”
“Jiao Jiao’s health is rather delicate. If you must vent your anger, direct it at me instead.”
