The Sweetest Medicine - Chapter 362

“She wouldn’t normally, but today’s different. I drank a lot of alcohol and you’re pregnant. How could she leave a drunkard with a pregnant woman?”

“You don’t look drunk. Just go down and walk around. Your mother will naturally realize that you’re fine.”

“Then what about tomorrow when the cleaner comes up to clean the room. In one glance, she’ll be able to tell that the bed next door has been slept in. For that to happen on our wedding night, don’t you think she’d tell my mother?” Lu Xuechen said with a distressed expression.

The wedding night was definitely a sensitive topic. Why hadn’t she taken this into consideration when she agreed to stay here?

Lu Xuechen looked at Lin Jiayu’s troubled expression and laughed lazily, “You are a pregnant woman, what can I do to you?”

Lin Jiayu didn’t think of Lu Xuechen as a beast.

So, after a moment of silence, she said, “You need to understand that we are just a contract marriage. Since you already agreed not to let our parents know, then I will uphold my responsibility as well. I just hope you can understand me. Even if you don’t touch me, men and women should still keep a distance…After tomorrow, I hope we can immediately move out of here.”

Lu Xuechen leaned against the bedside table and said with deep meaning, “Did you think my mother would let you move out when you’re pregnant?”

“Are you trying to say that we can’t move out until the child is born?”

How could she allow that? Lin Jiayu would never agree, “You didn’t say that before. You said you’d find an excuse to move.”

Lu Xuechen shrugged his shoulders helplessly, “I still haven’t found an excuse. I’m also in a helpless state.”

Lin Jiayu moved her lips. She wanted to speak, but she didn’t.

Back when they drafted the contract, they had agreed that during the contract period, they would be filial towards each other’s parents and not let them know about their agreement.

Mother Lu was kind, passionate, and friendly. She thought Lin Jiayu was honestly pregnant with Lu Xuechen’s child, so she cared about the mother and child a lot.

The thought of it made Lin Jiayu feel a little guilty.

“No longer than a week,” Lin Jiayu set a time limit. She had previously agreed to 3 days, but she had now added another 4 days.

“Then where are you sleeping tonight?”

After speaking, Lin Jiayu glanced at the sofa in the room.

Her meaning was clear: if Lu Xuechen refused to sleep next door, then he would have to sleep on the sofa. Lu Xuechen glanced at the sofa and said indifferently, “I’m sleeping on the bed, of course.”

On the bed? Then where was she sleeping? Lin Jiayu’s expression sunk as she said coldly, “What about me?”

“On the bed as well.”

“No.” They were just a contract couple. In other words, they were fake.

“We are married and everyone knows you’re my wife. So, regardless of whether I do anything to you, that is now your title. No one cares if we’ve actually done anything. Don’t worry, I won’t touch you. I’m not a beast that would attack a pregnant woman.”

Lin Jiayu wanted to say something else, but Lu Xuechen’s phone suddenly sounded.

Lu Xuechen pulled out his phone and had a look. All of a sudden, he turned serious. He took a quick glance at Lin Jiayu and walked out with his phone in his hand.

Lin Jiayu looked at the man with curiosity.

She saw guilt in the man’s gaze.

What was he feeling guilty for? Who was calling? Why was he so secretive? Was there something that he couldn’t let her know?
