A Warm Wedding and A New Bride of Young Master Lu

Chapter 1055 Pass the Test?

Xiao Guoshan immediately made a phone call and asked someone to launch an investigation. He found that the evaluator was the nephew of the chairman of J&F.

Originally, Xiao Guoshan only knew that J&F’s financial situation was in dire straits. He had his eye on the company’s worth, so he wanted to buy it.

The evaluator also told him that J&F was poorly managed and if he took over, it would definitely be able to bring him a considerable amount of wealth.

In fact, as Shen Yuechuan had said, J&F, which was heavily in debt, was about to be a shell company.

Once Xiao Guoshan signed the purchasing contract, the chairman of J&F would be rid of this hot potato and extricate himself from a difficult situation.

This was probably the reason why the evaluator lied to him.

Xiao Guoshan smiled and stopped talking about buying J&F. He motioned to everyone at the table and said, “Let’s eat and put aside work for now.”

“Yes!” Xiao Yunyun picked up the food repeatedly while complaining, “Talking about work at the table is disrespectful to the food. I’ve never done that!”

This time, not only Xiao Guoshan, but Su Yunjin also could not help laughing. The atmosphere in the private room lightened considerably.

In order to show her respect for the food, Su Yunjin followed suit, picked up her chopsticks and started eating. She urged Luo Xiaoxi, “Eat more.”

Luo Xiaoxi pointed to the plate in front of her. There was already a lot of her favorite food on it.

However, the food was not picked by her.

Probably because they had been married for a long time, Su Yicheng knew her tastes very well. Nobody knew when he started picking the choicest morsels and placing them on her plate.

Every time she ate, no matter what she wanted to eat, Su Yicheng would pick it and place it on her plate.

Luo Xiaoxi smiled with happiness and satisfaction. “Auntie, don’t worry. Yicheng won’t leave me hungry! Besides, I eat a lot now!”

“Pregnancy will improve your appetite.” Su Yunjin thought for a moment and asked, “Xiaoxi, how is your appetite now?”

...

When it came to the topic about her appetite, Luo Xiaoxi could not help laughing.

The doctor told Su Yicheng that this was a critical time for her when it came to her diet. In any case, she had to ensure she followed the nutritionist’s list so that she and the fetus had enough nutrition.

When she wanted to play tricks on Su Yicheng, she would pretend to have a poor appetite and look piteously at Su Yicheng, as if she was depressed about this pregnancy.

When Su Yicheng saw that she was unhappy, he would immediately try every means to coax her to eat.

What was really alarming was that the doctor told Su Yicheng that women were usually more sensitive during pregnancy, and it was easy for them to suffer from depression. As a husband, he should spend time with his wife and help her through this difficult period.

Su Yicheng was scared out of his wits by the word “depression”, so he researched into information about perinatal depression. After reading some articles, he was aware of the seriousness of perinatal depression. Later, he went to Lu Enterprises and asked Lu Boyan if he had any relevant experience.

Lu Boyan was his usual brusque self and told him sharply, “A capable husband will not let his wife suffer from depression during her pregnancy.”

In other words, the fact that Su Yicheng came to ask about it meant that he was still far from being a capable husband.

Su Yicheng probably thought that as long as he made Luo Xiaoxi happy, she would not suffer from depression.

After returning home, Su Yicheng would usually try to compliment her, saying things like, “Xiaoxi, you look better when you are pregnant”. He would praise Luo Xiaoxi a hundred times a day in various ways.

Luo Xiaoxi remembered very clearly that once, his assistant went their house to get some documents and happened to hear Su Yicheng praising her.

The assistant never knew that Su Yicheng could be smooth-tongued, so he was stunned and stood rooted at the door as if he had been struck by lightning. After a long while, he said hesitantly, “Did I come to the wrong place? Is this my boss’s house?”

Su Yicheng heard his subordinate’s voice and turned around unhurriedly. In an instant, he reverted to his usual cold and business-like persona.

Only then was the assistant certain that he was not in the wrong place. He stammered, “Boss Su, I’m here to get some documents. I... I didn’t mean to interrupt you in your praise for Mrs. Su. I’m stunned.”

Luo Xiaoxi almost burst into laughter.

She had thought that Su Yicheng would feel more or less embarrassed after being caught by the assistant, and he would not praise her so enthusiastically in the future.

In fact, in addition to praising her, Su Yicheng also began to reduce his contact with women.

The assistant said more than once that since Luo Xiaoxi was pregnant, Su Yicheng had never been alone with women.

Even if there was only a young woman at an ordinary dinner party, Su Yicheng would only attend with his male assistant in tow, and he would never linger over dinner. As soon as it was over, he would go home immediately. Then he would tell Luo Xiaoxi intentionally or unintentionally that he was only comfortable when he was at home because his wife was at home.

Luo Xiaoxi knew that Su Yicheng was trying to make her happy.

She felt great and was happy to receive all his compliments. For the most part of each day, she was always smiling and showed no signs of depression at all.

The happier she was, the more Luo Xiaoxi wanted to tease Su Yicheng. It had become the highlight in her life to scare Su Yicheng.

When the nutritionist made a list of recipes for Luo Xiaoxi, he tried his best to control the intake of calories. However, due to the growth of the fetus, Luo Xiaoxi’s weight inevitably increased.

But the increased weight did not show on her limbs or face, so it did not affect her appearance at all.

However, when she saw the number on the weighing scale, Luo Xiaoxi broke down immediately and kept asking Su Yicheng, “Am I getting fatter? Is my calf as thick as my thigh?”

Su Yicheng looked at Luo Xiaoxi thoughtfully. After thinking for a moment, he nodded in agreement and said, “It seems that you are indeed a little heavier.”

Luo Xiaoxi was used to being praised by Su Yicheng. When she first heard what he said, she suspected that there was something wrong with her ears.

After he repeated what he said, Luo Xiaoxi finally dared to believe that there was nothing wrong with her ears. Su Yicheng was indeed complaining about her.

Luo Xiaoxi was so angry that she pounced on Su Yicheng, as if she wanted to fight him desperately.

Su Yicheng caught Luo Xiaoxi and held her in his arms. He asked in a low voice, “Do you know which part I’m talking about?”

Luo Xiaoxi looked down at herself and spoke in an arrogant way, “You’d better be talking about my breasts!”

Su Yicheng glanced at that part of her body and shook his head. “I’m sorry. No!”

However, except for the breasts, Luo Xiaoxi could not accept that the other parts of her body became heavier.

“Su Yicheng!”

Luo Xiaoxi screamed and was so angry that she could not speak.

Su Yicheng smiled, pressed his forehead against Luo Xiaoxi’s, and said, “Xiaoxi, you are getting heavier and heavier in my heart.”

Luo Xiaoxi was stunned and suddenly felt that her ears were full of Su Yicheng’s last sentence “Xiaoxi, you are getting heavier and heavier in my heart.”

“Getting heavier and heavier...”

To be honest, Luo Xiaoxi did not like these four words, but she had to admit that she liked the whole sentence.

If she got heavier and heavier in Su Yicheng’s heart, her weight gain could almost be ignored.

Su Yunjin had been waiting for Luo Xiaoxi’s answer. After a long while, Luo Xiaoxi still did not respond.

Upon closer inspection, she found that Luo Xiaoxi was lost in her thoughts.

What was even more obvious was the happy smile on Luo Xiaoxi’s face.

Su Yunjin had also shown this kind of smile when she was young. It was a smile belonging to those who were nurtured by love.

Su Yunjin was not in a hurry. After a while, she called again, “Xiaoxi?”

Luo Xiaoxi came to her senses and said with a bright smile, “I’m totally different from Jian’an. She couldn’t eat anything, but I can eat everything.”

“That’s good.” Su Yunjin smiled. “You’re not picky about food, so you and the fetus are well-nourished. Jian’an had a hard time when she was pregnant.”

“Oh, by the way-” Xiao Yunyun suddenly thought of something and put down her chopsticks. “Where are my cousin and cousin-in-law? Why didn’t they come?”

Su Yicheng said calmly, “Boyan is busy today.”

Shen Yuechuan was also one of the insiders. He said lightly, “It doesn’t matter even if they didn’t come today. Tomorrow is the first day of the New Year. We can have dinner together.”

“Tomorrow?”

Xiao Yunyun thought to herself, “Tomorrow is our wedding day. We will indeed have dinner together!”

Xiao Guoshan also said in support of Shen Yuechuan, “Yes, no hurry. I’ll stay in City A for a while.”

Xiao Yunyun did not realize that there was a conspiracy at all. She nodded and said in agreement, “Yes, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future!”

She admitted that at this time, she was more worried about her father’s test for Shen Yuechuan.

Shen Yuechuan was also a little worried.

He would test someone in terms of physical strength and IQ.

If Yunyun’s father did the same thing, he could pass the IQ test, but in terms of physical strength... he was afraid that it would be a little difficult for him.

Shen Yuechuan was a little nervous during the meal.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Guoshan did not ask Shen Yuechuan any questions until the end. He just talked about business with him without showing any signs of making things difficult for him.

More than an hour later, the meal was officially over.

Xiao Guoshan stood up, looked at Shen Yuechuan and said with a smile, “It was a good meal. Yuechuan, you’re so considerate.”

Then he looked at Su Yicheng and continued, “Yicheng, take Xiaoxi home to rest. Yuechuan, you haven’t recovered yet. Go home and take care of yourself. Yunyun, shall we take a walk? I haven’t been back for many years. Many places here have changed, haven’t they?”

Xiao Yunyun was a little uncertain, so she subconsciously looked at Shen Yuechuan.

Shen Yuechuan gave Xiao Yunyun a look, indicating that she should listen to her father.

He was going to marry Xiao Yunyun tomorrow. If the operation went well, he and Xiao Yunyun would be together for the rest of their lives.

However, for Yunyun’s father, from tomorrow on, he would give away his daughter whom he had raised for many years, to him.

It was natural for Yunyun to spend more time with her father.

Anyway, they were not in a hurry.

At this time, Shen Yuechuan was eager to find out whether he had passed the test or not.
