Chapter 225: Have A Baby! (1/2)

Tian Rou was about to flip the table upside down. But Baldy, who was sweating buckets as she asked her question, couldn’t stop himself but start snorting at Lu Chenzhou’s answer. “Darling, if you’re going to ask Boss Lu if he has money, then you’re just courting disaster.”

Tian Rou’s shame turned to anger at his words. “Can you be any more shameless?! Who’s your ‘darling?’”

Baldy had clearly grown accustomed to his role as a henpecked husband, as he obediently and meekly replied, “You’re my darling, of course. Don’t be so jealous, darling. I’m not doing that badly myself. If you want a hundred million dollars or something, I can give it to you too.”

“......”

The crowd all looked on jealously, and some people even surreptitiously patted their own empty wallets.

Tian Rou had managed to become public enemy #1 in an instant, causing everyone to turn their gazes toward her. Despite the fact that both she and Baldy had a pretty good alcohol tolerance, they too were half-drunk and stumbling around by the time the gathering concluded.

Cheng Xi and Lu Chenzhou helped send everyone away, until only Baldy and Tian Rou remained behind. Cheng Xi drove them all back, but halfway through the drive, Tian Rou grabbed the front passenger’s seat and said, “Cheng Xi, you’re too disloyal! You let us get this drunk while you’re still sober enough to drive.”

Cheng Xi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at Tian Rou’s lamentations. “What would you rather have it be like?”

“I want to continue drinking, of course.” Even when Tian Rou was this drunk, she knew how to act pitifully to pull on her heartstrings. “You don’t know how lonely I was when you left, and now that Lu bastard’s gone and seized you before we could even have a heart-to-heart talk! I don’t care anymore! You were the one who reached out to me today, so you’re the one who has to accompany me!”

Cheng Xi glanced at the person who started grinding his teeth as soon as Tian Rou said “lonely” through the rearview mirror, smiled, and said, “Don’t you already have Baldy? Why do you need me to accompany you?”

Rou waved her hand dismissively as she boldly replied, “What’s he to me? Men are just clothes to be worn and discarded, but you’re as important to me as my limbs!”

All right, even Cheng Xi couldn’t save her from Lu Chenzhou now.

Tian Rou refused to go back home, stubbornly sticking to Cheng Xi. In the end, Cheng Xi brought Tian Rou and Baldy back to her apartment.

When they all arrived at Cheng Xi’s apartment, Cheng Xi originally wanted to have them stay in the apartment next door. Cheng Yang hadn’t been staying there these past few days, so there was more than enough space in there for the two of them. However, unexpectedly, Lu Chenzhou walked ahead and opened up the door to Cheng Xi’s apartment.

She hesitated for a moment before smiling and dragging Tian Rou inside with Baldy’s help.

After they all entered, Cheng Xi went to have a “heart-to-heart” talk with Tian Rou in the study while Lu Chenzhou and Baldy stayed behind in the living room, drinking tea. Baldy was at a loss for Tian Rou’s behavior, and he tactfully apologized in her place. “Sorry, my girlfriend’s not very thoughtful.”

Lu Chenzhou grunted nonchalantly, his face cool.

The atmosphere was a little awkward. In truth, ever since Baldy had found out that Lu Chenzhou was mentally ill, his attitude towards him had changed slightly. Baldy was curious about the details, but he was even more afraid of asking, and he hadn’t even dared to go find Lu Chenzhou during these past few days.

Lu Chenzhou wasn’t stupid and quickly noticed Baldy’s pensive gaze. He poured him a cup of tea. “What’s the matter?”

His tone was cold, but Baldy was very surprised that Lu Chenzhou was considerate enough to initiate a conversation with him. Perhaps Tian Rou had influenced him, but he took the cup of tea and straightforwardly asked, “Are you really suffering from a mental illness?”

As soon as the question left his mouth, Baldy wanted to slap himself, but Lu Chenzhou actually nodded and said, “Yes, that’s right.”

“......”

Baldy looked at him in a daze.

Lu Chenzhou lifted his head, returning the look. “What’s the matter? Are you scared?”
