Chapter 1318: Chapter 1345: Listen Carefully

"Jiang Tian, listen carefully, as long as you’re in this house, I won’t come back. As for my parents, you’d better keep your mouth shut.

You know well enough what you should say and what you shouldn’t. I don’t want to be disturbed by anyone, and if you dare to complain, don’t blame me for being rude!"

The man’s words, as cold as an ice hammer, seemed to knock on the heart, bringing a chill that seeped into the bones.

Jiang Tian bit her lip. She understood Lu Xingshen’s intention—he wanted to draw a line with her, not to have any contact.

So, for the past two months, she had been putting on a facade, pretending before Liu Qian that she and Lu Xingshen were getting along harmoniously. Actually, this quiet state was quite good; he wasn’t bothering her, and she could focus on nurturing her pregnancy.

But her parents were coming tomorrow night, and if Lu Xingshen didn’t show up, how would she explain this?

Jiang Tian was feeling particularly down now. She wanted to contact Lu Xingshen, but sadly realized that she didn’t even have his phone number.

When she was at her wit’s end, suddenly, the sound of a car horn came from outside.

Jiang Tian’s eyes lit up. She stood up with her pregnant belly, and excitedly rushed towards the door, but because she was running too fast, she lost control and fell towards the ground when she reached the entrance.

"Ah!"

Jiang Tian exclaimed, instinctively protecting her belly.

The next second, the door clicked open. As Lu Xingshen came in and saw the scene, with the pregnant woman falling to the floor, his heart raced, and reflexively he reached out to catch her.

Jiang Tian thought she was doomed, but just before hitting the ground, her arm was firmly grasped and pulled back.

She fell into the man’s steady embrace, with the air heated from impact, raising her gaze to meet his dark eyes.

Lu Xingshen quickly released her, speaking coldly,

"What are you doing? Are you trying to stage an accident here, hoping to sue me later?"

The warmth around Jiang Tian quickly faded, and she shook her head, "No, it’s not, I was careless."

Lu Xingshen glanced at her big belly, his fingertips still feeling the softness from the accidental brush against her waist and abdomen. He discreetly rubbed his hand, hung his coat on the rack, and walked into the living room with his tall figure,

"Running while pregnant, do you think your life is too long, or are you trying to kill the fetus yourself?"

Jiang Tian, like a student who made a mistake, followed behind him without speaking.

Lu Xingshen felt inexplicably irritated, spreading his legs as he sat on the sofa, intertwining his fingers between his legs, his voice cold and sarcastic,

"Since you didn’t want this child, what was the point of pretending back then? Wasn’t it just to marry into the Lu Family."

"No, no, it wasn’t." Jiang Tian didn’t expect that her accidental fall would lead Lu Xingshen to imagine so much, her eyes reddening with urgency, "I just slipped, I promise to be careful next time."

"Why are you promising me? Do you think I care about you?"

Lu Xingshen squinted, straightening his upper body and casting a cold glance at her, his tone almost bitterly sarcastic, "Miss Jiang, I hope you have some self-awareness. You mean nothing here, and even if you and that fetus die, it has nothing to do with me.

I’m back tonight not to see you, just to get some documents and take all my things with me, as the air polluted by you is nauseating with every extra second I spend here."

Jiang Tian listened to his words while biting her lip, not knowing why it hurt so much inside.

Later on, Lu Xingshen came here every day—what a turnaround!
