The incoming call displayed on the mobile phone screen was from the villa.
Taking the phone in his hand, Lu Yuchen lowered his eyes slightly, with a faint expression on his face. He looked at the phone screen, not knowing what he was thinking.
After waiting for a few seconds, he put the phone to his ear and said, "Hello."
"Young Master." Aunt Zhang's voice came from the receiver on the other end of the phone.
Disappointment flashed across his eyes, and the indifference on Lu Yuchen's face became even more serious than before.
"What's up."
His voice was very low, and to Zhang Ma's ears, it always sounded inexplicably gloomy.
"Master, when will you be back tonight? It's already this late. If you don't come back soon, it will be bad for Madam's health if she waits too late."
Under normal circumstances, Aunt Zhang would not dare to ask about Lu Yuchen's whereabouts.
But it’s different now. The young lady is pregnant. For the sake of her health, I believe the young master will not blame her.
Sure enough, the young master, who would usually get angry if you asked one more question, did not get angry today.
"Xinluo is still awake, waiting for me?" Lu Yuchen didn't even know it, the corners of his lips curled up inadvertently.
"Well... yes... the young lady has been waiting for you."
Aunt Zhang's voice was a little hesitant, and Lu Yuchen heard it immediately. The corners of his lips, which were originally slightly raised, were pursed into a straight line again.
He asked coldly: "If she was waiting for me, why didn't she call herself?"
"This..." Aunt Zhang was at a loss for words, trying to explain, "Young Madam... was tired, so..."
He interrupted Zhang Ma impatiently, "Take good care of the young lady, and don't call me if there's nothing else."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Yuchen felt even worse.
He tugged at his tie, walked to the table, picked up a cut cigar and lit it.
After a while, light smoke rings came out of his mouth.
In the smoke, he seemed to see a pretty little face, smiling at him, with delicate cherry lips and misty peach blossom eyes, every detail of which was so touching.
I put out the cigar in the ashtray, and the depression in my heart was even deeper than before.
Tang Xinluo... She's fine.
Just as she said, she obeyed the contract and played the role of Mrs. Lu, a virtuous, generous and sensible woman.
Lu Yuchen's deep black eyes gradually became filled with gloom, and he picked up the phone.
"—Meng Ze, arrange for a popular female star to come up."

The next day, Tang Xinluo got up very early.
She has to go to the court to attend a trial in the afternoon, and she had made an appointment yesterday with Dr. Zhang to come and give her an infusion in the morning.
Tang Xinluo went downstairs and felt that the atmosphere at home was a bit strange today.
Although it wasn't very obvious, she always felt that the servants looked at her with some kind of sympathy and pity.
Could it be that because Lu Yuchen didn’t come back last night, the servants at home started to have wild thoughts
"Young Madam, why are you coming down?" Aunt Zhang didn't expect Tang Xinluo to get up so early. She didn't have time to hide the newspaper in her hand and could only stuff it behind her back.
"Aunt Zhang, what are you holding in your hand?"
"Oh, this is today's newspaper. Madam, you should eat first. Don't be hungry. I'll prepare it for you."
Aunt Zhang fled into the kitchen with the newspaper. Tang Xinluo narrowed her eyes and saw the trick.
After a while, when Aunt Zhang came out with a bowl of porridge, she was so scared that she almost knocked over the bowl.
"Madam, you... don't believe those reports. Those paparazzi are like that, they are afraid that they can't make big news. The young master would never do such a thing!"
Tang Xinluo was holding her phone at this time, browsing today's entertainment headlines.
"Popular female star Lin Shiman had a night out with a business tycoon in City A. They behaved intimately, and it seems that they are in a sweet relationship?!" (To be continued)
