Why do you keep in touch with him

However, for some reason, she felt that the Xiao Rou today looked a little different than before.

She looked at it again and again with furrowed brows, causing Xiao Rou to reveal a confused expression — — Elder sister, what are you looking at?

Perhaps she was too surprised, because the gestures were too big, revealing her stomach.

She immediately realized that something was wrong and cried out in alarm, ”Your stomach, how come your stomach is so small?”

Counting the time, it seemed like six months had passed. She had seen five to six months of pregnant women before, and their stomachs were usually very obvious by then. Even if they weren't usually fat women, their stomachs were clearly protruding at this time.

However, the Xiao Rou in the video was completely different, her stomach was around the same size as the last time they met.

One had to know that the meeting between the two of them had been pushed back to two months ago.

This was strange, and what made her realize that something was wrong was that now that Xiao Rou had a child, logically speaking, her body would become round and smooth, but she did not. Although her complexion was not bad, her eyes had a different look from before.

Only now did she completely believe in Shangguan Zhe's words, and understood where his worry came from.

Xiao Rou's expression changed. It's fine, I'm just not born to be fat.

”Is that so? I don't think the baby looks the same. Did you go to the hospital? ” She clearly stated her worries.

Xiao Rou immediately nodded her head — Yes, the last time I went to check it out, the doctor said that the child was very well, and told me not to worry.

”That's good.” She breathed a sigh of relief and said, ”Oh right, I bought you a present. I'll give it to you when I get back.”

Xiao Rou immediately said — What present, I am already very happy that you can be my bridesmaid. There is no need to buy presents.

She looked at her innocent eyes and confidently said, ”Of course I want to buy it. Isn't it more polite?”

Before, Xiao Rou had only given her a piece of jewelry, and even now, she still did not dare to take it out. It was because it was too valuable, and because of that, she had only thought of going over to take a look when she saw Jewelry Store yesterday and picked out a present for her.

Xiao Rou beamed — Okay then, next time I'll see how good your eyes really are.

She suddenly felt shy. Her bracelet was far inferior to the one that she had given to her.

She gave a light cough and said, ”Don't hold too much hope, my gifts aren't very valuable. They can't be compared to your collection.” Xiao Rou was a rich woman, she had known this for a long time.

Xiao Rou smiled until her eyebrows curved, the gloomy temperament from before had disappeared.

They chatted for a while longer before reluctantly turning off the video.

Before she closed the door, she couldn't help but remind Lin Zixuan, ”You should be more careful with your body. It looks like you didn't eat anything good in Lin Family, so you should just live with your brother from now on.

She kept feeling that something was wrong with Xiao Rou's appearance, but she kept denying it. No matter how she thought about it, she could only use this method to remind her.

Xiao Rou's eyes seemed to flash with tears. She was alarmed and was about to look more carefully, when she suddenly stretched out her fingers and the scene turned pitch black — the video was closed by Xiao Rou.

She thought about it for a while, feeling that something was wrong. She felt that at some point in time, Xiao Rou's smile seemed to be forced.

Only now did she deeply understand Shangguan Zhe's worry and why he had to bring Xiao Rou back.

Could the people of Lin Family be very bad to her?

Logically speaking, she wouldn't, but Lin Zixuan was dead set on her.

No matter how she thought about it, she couldn't understand. She only furrowed her brows until she felt a pair of eyes that couldn't be ignored fixated on her. Only then did she seem to wake up from a dream and raise her eyes to look at those eyes.

She saw Si Lianye looking at her strangely, and couldn't help but to ask him: ”What's wrong?”

He shook his head slowly. ”Who are you talking to? Le Le? ”

She hesitated for a bit and wanted to say Xiao Rou's name, but suddenly thought of Shangguan Zhe's hostile relationship with him. Although she wasn't afraid that he would think that she was betraying him, it was still better for him to know less about this kind of thing that would easily arouse his suspicions.

So she chose to lie, ”Yeah, Le Le and I were talking, and he was arguing about listening to you.”

In a split-second, she seemed to see a cold glint in his eyes that made her heart turn cold. She was shocked as she looked over and found that the smile in his eyes was still there, as if she had been mistaken.

She asked him, ”What's the matter with you? You aren't going to speak? ”

He chuckled and shook his head, then pushed the bracelet towards her. ”Here, show me this. It must be very pretty.”

A complicated look flashed across her face when she heard this. She slowly picked up the bracelet. The three large diamonds on the bracelet sparkled brilliantly and looked very pretty.

Recalling what she had said to Shangguan Zhe this morning, she made up her mind. She would put the bracelet back, push it back to them, and say, ”I'm sorry, you should take it back to give to your mother.” Because of all the things that had happened, she couldn't say what she had said.

Si Lianye's expression instantly darkened. ”Why don't you like it?”

She shook her head. ”I like it, but it's not something you can have just because you like it, is it?”

She smiled at him.

His face was covered with a layer of frost. He put his hand on the box and slowly tightened his grip. In the end, she could almost see the veins on the back of his hand, making him seem very excited.

She looked at him in surprise. ”What's wrong?”
