Pregnant and Divorced by My Disabled Husband

22: Chapter 22: The Ex-Husband Saw the Video with the Cute Baby 22: Chapter 22: The Ex-Husband Saw the Video with the Cute Baby When Lu Youting returned to the ward, Jian Si was holding Lu Yanbai and chatting.

“Mommy, do you know?

When you weren’t by my side, I missed you and looked at the photograph.

Every time I looked at it, I felt like you were with me.”

Jian Si looked at the photograph carefully tucked under the pillow by Lu Yanbai, her nose tingling slightly and her eyes almost welling with tears.

“Xiao Bai, I’m sorry for not being by your side all these years!

Do you blame me?”

Lu Yanbai shook his head, “I don’t blame you, Mommy.

I know you must have had your own things to handle, and now you are back, aren’t you?”

His understanding moved Jian Si profoundly.

“Don’t worry, Mommy will never leave you again and will always be by your side.”

Lu Yanbai nodded vigorously, his eyes forming crescents, his little chubby face flushed and incredibly adorable.

This scene gave Lu Youting an unusual feeling.

Suddenly, he thought that if every day could be like this, it wouldn’t be too bad.

He pursed his lips and said solemnly, “Can Xiao Bai go home after his injection?”

“Huh?” Jian Si looked at him, slightly puzzled by his question for a moment.

Lu Youting walked over, rubbing Lu Yanbai’s head, “He hasn’t been home in a month since he was hospitalized!

Qingqing said it’s best that he shouldn’t leave the hospital.

But I know he doesn’t want to stay here.

If it doesn’t affect his treatment, I hope he can sleep at home at night and return to the hospital in the morning.”

Jian Si frowned, “Ye Qingqing said he can’t go home?”

Lu Yanbai pouted, dissatisfied, “Yes, Aunt won’t let me go home!

But I don’t want to stay in the hospital; I want to go home.”

Jian Si scoffed internally, “He can go home!

As long as we are careful, it should be fine.”

Hearing that he could go home, Lu Yanbai was so excited that he almost jumped up, “Yes!

That’s great, I can finally go home!

Mommy, you should come back with me!

I don’t want to be away from you.”

Jian Si paused, “Me?

Go back with you?”

Thinking she was reluctant, Lu Yanbai’s eyes immediately filled with tears, resembling a pitiful little bunny.

“You don’t want to?”

Unable to bear seeing him disappointed, Jian Si reluctantly agreed and then looked at Lu Youting: “Director Lu, may I go?

If not, I could take Xiao Bai to stay at my place.”

Lu Yanbai looked hopefully at Lu Youting.

Lu Youting stiffly twitched his lips, haughtily uttering two words, “Whatever.”

“That’s great, Daddy, I love you to death!” For the first time, Lu Yanbai hugged Lu Youting and planted a big kiss on his face, leaving him covered in saliva.

Lu Youting wiped the saliva off his face, suddenly feeling that this arrangement might not be so bad, as it would keep Jian Si under his watch while giving him a chance to investigate C, and also please his son.

After the treatment, Lu Yanbai finally returned to his long-missed home.

Lu Youting had urgent documents to deal with, so he went to the study as soon as he got home.

Having not returned for five years, everything here had been renovated.

Except for the housekeeper, Xiang Sister, all other servants were now Ye Qingqing’s people.

Seeing Jian Si and Lu Yanbai walking in hand in hand, Xiang Sister thought she was seeing things and rubbed her eyes fiercely.

When she realized her vision was clear, her eyes immediately reddened.

“Lady, you finally came back!

The young master has been thinking of you every day.”

Standing in the grand hall on the first floor, Jian Si also felt as if she were in a different world.

She had never imagined she would be able to return here one day.

“Xiang Sister, long time no see.

How have you been over these years?”

Tears welled up in Xiang Sister’s eyes as she nodded continuously, “Very good, very good!

How have you been, Lady?”

Remembering her days in Country A over the years, Jian Si’s eyes darkened slightly, and she managed a strained smile, “Everything has been fine, just missing Xiao Bai, day and night.”

Xiang Sister comforted her, “Rest assured, the sir has taken very good care of the young master and has changed a lot for the young master.”

Jian Si gave a self-deprecating laugh and said nothing.

If they had taken good care, he wouldn’t be riddled with illnesses.

Congenital heart problems are one thing, but what about the depression and stomach issues?

The two initially wanted to spend more time together, but Jian Si was dragged upstairs by Lu Yanbai.

“Mommy, I’ll first show you the room to familiarize you with it, then I’ll take you around.

Daddy built a wisteria trellis in the yard, and it looks so beautiful when it blooms.”

“Wisteria?”

Jian Si was slightly surprised, a misconception flashing through her mind, and then she found the idea ridiculous and quickly dismissed it.

No.

Impossible.

Lu Youting would never plant wisteria because of her.

He never knew she liked wisteria.

After Lu Yanbai had shown Jian Si around the house, he pulled her to the garden, where a fifty-meter long wisteria trellis stretched before them.

To ensure the wisteria was always flourishing, Lu Youting had spent a fortune on a temperature-controlled shed.

During the blooming season, the shed automatically retracted; during the other three seasons, it would rise automatically, adjusting the temperature based on the weather.

At that moment, under the operation of the temperature-controlled shed, the wisteria bloomed vibrant and glorious, a sea of purple flowers swayed gently in the breeze, their fragrance overwhelming, a beauty that was hard to look away from.

“When was the wisteria planted here?”

“It’s always been here!”

Jian Si: “…??”

So, it had been planted for a long time already?

Lu Yanbai took Jian Si around the yard, which not only had wisteria but also several date trees, now heavy with crisp, sweet fruits.

“Daddy loves eating winter dates the most, he always picks them himself when they’re ripe.”

Jian Si felt a moment of daze.

If she wasn’t sure that Lu Youting had always liked Ye Qingqing, she might have suspected that he liked her.

Because Lu Youting never touched common fruits like winter dates.

Wisteria and winter dates were her favorite.

Jian Si chuckled self-deprecatingly, dismissing the absurd thought from her mind, and then continued to stroll in the yard with Lu Yanbai.

After lunch, she took him back to their room for a nap.

Lu Yanbai, excited and energetic, took a while to fall asleep.

Once Lu Yanbai was asleep, Jian Si tiptoed to the balcony to make a video call to Jian Sichen.

It took a long while for the call to connect, and Jian Sichen appeared on the screen, his eyes droopy and heavy as if they were filled with lead, his speech weak.

“Mommy, what do you need?”

Jian Si asked with concern, “Baby, are you very tired?”

Jian Sichen shook his head: “It’s not because of Mommy.

It’s all because of that jerk Dad.

His employees chased me all night long, and I didn’t get a chance to sleep.”

He was only supposed to pin the trending search and use a bot to power off and sleep.

But that jerk Dad went out of his way to pull the trending search.

To keep up the heat, he had to stay at his computer all night, which exhausted him.

Jian Si couldn’t bear to disturb him further: “Okay, then you rest well, I’ll talk to you later.”

“Okay, muah, I’ll hang up now!” Jian Sichen nodded listlessly, puckered up to kiss the screen, then dozed off again before even hanging up the call.

Jian Si couldn’t help but laugh silently.

Just as she was about to end the call, a chill suddenly ran down her spine.

She turned around sharply and saw Lu Youting standing behind her unawares, causing her to break into a cold sweat, uncertain of how much he had heard or knew.

“You, when did you get here?”

Lu Youting’s dark pupils locked tightly on her, shimmering with an inscrutable cold gleam: “Who were you video calling just now?

Why does he look exactly like Xiao Bai?”

Jian Si’s heart skipped a beat, sinking down sharply, she thought to herself in alarm.

It was over, Lu Youting really had discovered it.
