"Jinxuan." Gong Xueyan placed the meal in front of him and looked at him a few times before tentatively asking, "Are you working on the AC project?"

"..." Lu Jinxuan paused.

He laughed inwardly, thinking Gong Hongming was supposed to be impressive, but it turned out he also needed to rely on his daughter for information.

He put down the newspaper, absentmindedly took a sip of coffee, still without looking at Gong Xueyan, "Yes."

He was always a man of few words, so hearing him respond was confirmation enough for Gong Xueyan. She made up her mind, "So, this project is feasible... the profits must be considerable, right? Have you invested a lot of money?"

"Gong Xueyan."

Lu Jinxuan glanced at Gong Xueyan, his expression serious.

"Hmm?" Gong Xueyan immediately sat up straight.

Lu Jinxuan said sternly, "The Lu Family's rule is that women should manage the inner court well, and they must not inquire about what the men do outside."

"..." Gong Xueyan was taken aback. Did he mean she was regarded as a woman of the Lu Family?

Unexpectedly, Lu Jinxuan added, "Besides, you're not yet a woman of the Lu Family."

"..." Gong Xueyan pouted, "Got it, I won't ask anymore."

Lu Jinxuan ate a little, then got up and left.

Gong Xueyan saw him to the door, and once he was gone, she immediately turned back and called Gong Hongming.

"Hello, Dad."

"Hmm, how's it going?"

Gong Xueyan held the phone, a bit excited, "I found out, Jinxuan doesn't say much, but from what he said, the AC project is worth doing, you can invest with confidence!"

"That's good, now I can rest assured."

Gong Hongming hung up the phone and let out a big sigh of relief. Recently, he didn't know what bad luck they were facing, but the Gong Family's business was being suppressed in all aspects, urgently needing a project to save them. Given the relationship with the Lu Family, Gong Hongming certainly wouldn't miss any information. Indeed, allying with the Lu Family was the right move.

...

"Young master, Gong Hongming has started!"

Tang Yueze burst into the office, full of excitement.

Even Lu Jinxuan couldn't help but smile, "Great, keep up the momentum, let him invest himself to death!" 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"Yes!"

Lu Jinxuan propped his head on his hand, thinking, with something so joyous, shouldn't he celebrate? Maybe give himself a reward! How about secretly going to see Wanwan? Just looking at her photos every day isn't enough, is it?

"Where is she?"

Tang Yueze was taken aback, then quickly reacted, glancing at his watch, "Young master, at this time... Miss Yu should be at the yoga studio."

Tang Yueze knew Yu Sangwan's schedule inside out. Yu Sangwan's routine had been very regular recently, shopping, walking, attending prenatal classes, practicing prenatal yoga, all in efforts to have a healthy baby.

Lu Jinxuan's smile was warm, "Alright, I'm heading out for a while." This was a comprehensive fitness club, with an entire wall in the yoga room made of transparent glass.

Across the aisle was the gym.

As the music finished, the instructor clapped her hands at the front, "Okay, that's all for today..."

Yu Sangwan exhaled and looked up. Her morning sickness had slightly improved recently, which was probably related to regular aerobic exercise. Having just finished, her cheeks were flush with sweat, looking very healthy.

"Wanwan."

At the door, Le Zhengsheng, dressed in gym attire with a towel around his neck, waved and smiled at Yu Sangwan.

Every time Yu Sangwan came, Le Zhengsheng accompanied her. As such, everyone in the class knew him, and seeing him, they smiled and said, "You can come in now, we're done."

"Thank you." Le Zhengsheng smiled and thanked them.

This drew a round of admiration, "I'm so envious that Wanwan has such a caring husband! Look at us, also pregnant, yet there's no sign of our husbands."

Le Zhengsheng was embarrassed by the compliments, scratching his head, "Haha, you're too kind."

"Le Zheng." Yu Sangwan strolled over, "What are you grinning about?"

"Nothing..." Le Zhengsheng took off the towel and wiped her sweat, "Why so serious? Look, you're soaked."

"Mm." Yu Sangwan stopped him, "No need to wipe, I'm going for a shower... What about you?"

"I'll go too." Le Zhengsheng supported her, "Be careful."

Yu Sangwan didn't resist. With her severe pregnancy symptoms, she was more cautious than anyone and naturally held his hand, "Let's go."

Looking from a distance, they really did seem like a young couple, one with a particularly close relationship.

Le Zhengsheng escorted Yu Sangwan all the way to the bathroom door, repeatedly reminding her, "Be careful of the slippery floor, and don't shower for too long, it'll get stuffy... it's not good for the baby."

"I know!" Yu Sangwan couldn't help but laugh, "You're so naggy, just like Mom..."

Releasing his hand, she picked up her shower basket and entered the bathroom.

This club's bathroom was quite advanced, with partitioned cubicles.

Yu Sangwan opened her cubicle and was about to close the door when a hand slipped through the crack.

"Hmm? Someone..."

Yu Sangwan opened her mouth only to realize it was a man's arm!

"Ah..." Yu Sangwan screamed in terror as a shadow flashed in, covering her mouth.

"Shh!" Lu Jinxuan, wearing the club's uniform, for a moment Yu Sangwan didn't even recognize him. It was too shocking; what was he doing here?

Lu Jinxuan looked down at her and whispered, "Don't scream, I'll let go of your mouth."

"..." Yu Sangwan blinked, and Lu Jinxuan released his hand.

"Come..." But as soon as Lu Jinxuan released his hand, she immediately started to shout.

What a disobedient little elf!

Lu Jinxuan reacted swiftly, quickly lowering his head to silence her with a kiss.

"Mmm..." Yu Sangwan feebly patted him, but his body was as hard as a wall of steel, completely immovable by her strength.

How could Yu Sangwan possibly match Lu Jinxuan's lung capacity?

He pressed her against the wall, his support the only thing keeping her upright.

While kissing her, Lu Jinxuan held her hand and pulled off his clothes, revealing a toned upper body... his physique could make any woman swoon.

Seeing she might run out of breath, Lu Jinxuan, feeling pity, ended the kiss.

"Lu Jinxuan, are you crazy?" Yu Sangwan glared at him, not daring to raise her voice, "What are you doing here? Wait, that's not important! Get out, I'm going to call someone!"

"Get out?" Lu Jinxuan's lip curled up, "Are you sure?"

"..."

Yu Sangwan froze, eyeing his intoxicating physique, gritting her teeth in anger, "Put your clothes back on!"

If the door was opened and he left through her cubicle, what would people think?

"I won't." Lu Jinxuan smiled smugly, "I'm here to find you, why would I leave?"

"You..." Yu Sangwan was stunned, "How did you know I was here?"

Lu Jinxuan hugged her, carefully avoiding her stomach, brushing his nose against hers, "Silly girl, did you think you could hide from me by staying with Le Zhengsheng? As long as you're in this world, I'll find you wherever you go! Have you forgotten? In the icy world of Antarctica, I never lost you!"

"..." Yu Sangwan was momentarily speechless, "How long will you keep haunting me?"

Lu Jinxuan placed his hand on her belly, his tone exceptionally gentle, "How is this haunting? We're family... we're already bonded by blood."

"Nonsense!" Yu Sangwan, anxious and helpless, frowned and gritted her teeth, "I've told you, this child might not be yours! It could be Le..."

"Stop!" Lu Jinxuan interrupted her and, as a form of punishment, bit her lip lightly, causing her to wince in pain.

Lu Jinxuan warned her, "Watch what you say, the child is mine!"

"How can you be like this?" Yu Sangwan wasn't swayed by him; she refused to believe there was a man who didn't care if the child wasn't his. "You don't believe me, do you? Fine, when the child gets a bit bigger, we can do an amniocentesis! Get a DNA test!"
