22 I Need an Explanation

Her stomach definitely wasn't bloated from eating too much.

In the next second, Shao Yunchen stood up. He spoke to President Ji and the others beside him and then walked towards the washroom with a dark face.

Lu Yao jogged into the washroom, facing the toilet, but didn't spit anything out for a long time. She was actually a little weak right now.

Why did it feel like she was disgusted by the smell of seafood after she became pregnant?

Lu Yao took some warm water and washed her face. When she raised her head, she saw Shao Yunchen standing behind her in the mirror. His eyes were fixed on her, and he looked oppressed.

Lu Yao pretended not to see him and wiped the water droplets off her hands. She wanted to walk past him.

"Lu Yao."Shao Yunchen grabbed her wrist. His face was gloomy, "I need an explanation."

"Mr. Shao, aren't you thinking too much?" Lu Yao felt that her wrist that he was grabbing was burning. She pretended to be calm. "I just ate too much."

Shao Yunchen interrupted her: "This was not the case of eating too much."

His gaze was too sharp, scaring Lu Yao to the point that he shrank his shoulders. Seeing that she was unable to struggle free from his hands, she admitted it straightforwardly, "That's right. I'm pregnant."

The air seemed to freeze. Shao Yunchen stared at her, his expression becoming more and more complicated.

"It's only been a month." Lu Yao knew that with his expression; if she told him the truth, she definitely couldn't keep this child because he doesn't want children.

Lu Yao looked up at Shao Yunchen and smiled faintly. "You don't need to doubt what I said. Mr. Shao, you are always so shrewd when we sleep together. This child is not yours."

Shao Yunchen did not speak and stared intently at Lu Yao.

He won't deny that when he saw Lu Yao admitting that she was pregnant, his emotions became complicated. He did not know how he should face that little life. However, in the next second, Lu Yao told him that the child was not his. His heart was inexplicably frustrated.

In the end, Shao Yunchen released her hand. "Really? Congratulations."

He did not say anything more. After saying that, he turned around and left.

As the bathroom door closed, Lu Yao could no longer hold on. She slid down the wall with her hands holding onto her lower abdomen.

As long as she could keep the baby.

...

Lu Yao's vomiting was more serious. Sometimes she would go to the bathroom and throw up in the middle of the night. After a few days, with her wearing flat shoes, Mrs. Lu finally realized that something was wrong.

Mrs. Lu asked with a serious expression. "Are you pregnant?"

Lu Yao admitted it. Mrs. Lu's faced sunk a little. Finally, she let out a long sigh.

Although Xiang Dongnan often brought Tian Tian to play at their house, she could tell that Lu Yao had no interest in him. Furthermore, Lu Yao and Shao Yunchen just got divorced. So, this child was definitely Shao Yunchen's.

"Mom, I can feel its existence. It's a life." Lu Yao touched her belly as she felt the life that was still young and said, "I want to raise him well and give him the best."

"Then, did you think about what you would do in the future?"

Lu Yao smiled and comforted her mother. "Mom, your daughter is over 10,000 per month, and there is still room for improvement. Are you still afraid that I won't be able to support you and raise your grandchild?"

Mrs. Lu patted her hand. She didn't say anything, but it also meant that she had tacitly approved Lu Yao's actions.

...

When Lu Yao went to find Tian Tian on her day-off, her father Xiang Dongnan was also there.

Xiang Dongnan tried to find a babysitter for Tian Tian, and he decided to stay when he saw Tian Tian's rejection. As long as the company was not busy, he would stay home to accompany his daughter.

Xiang Dongnan gave two cruise tickets to Lu Yao and said, "It's a small prize. I don't think you're doing very well these days. Why don't you give yourself a vacation and go out with your friends?"

"Five days and four nights in Japan?" Lu Yao thought she could go to such a place to see the scenery, but Zhou Linlin would rather stay at home than go out with her.

Tian Tian also came over to see what it was.

Lu Yao smiled and said, "I don't have any friends. How about we go together? I think Tian Tian also wants to go."

Her mood had bee repetitive lately, and going out for a walk might be good for the baby.

Xiang Dongnan nodded. "Okay, then. Let's go together."

After successfully applying for a leave of absence from the company, Lu Yao carried her suitcase with Xiang Dongnan on the cruise ship to Japan.

It was said that the cruise ship was built by a rich second generation of a Japanese company. It had a total of 12 floors, a ballroom pool, and a golf course. "It's like heavens above the earth. It's a tourist cruise."

Lu Yao saw that the room was on the eighth floor, next to the ballroom. It might be noisy at night, so she went to the front desk to exchange the money for the suite on the eleventh floor.

However, after Lu Yao explained why she was here, the receptionist said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Miss. Only our VIP customers can enjoy the service of changing rooms."

"Then can I have a VIP?"

"Sorry, our VIP is limited, but if your friend has a VIP card, you can use it too."

Lu Yao held her waist for a bit. After standing there for such a long time, her waist started to ache, making her heart hurt.

She just wanted to find a more comfortable place. Was it that difficult?

Unable to change suite, Lu Yao left dejectedly.

After leaving the counter, she coincidentally saw Shao Yunchen walk through the glass door. He was wearing a simple long windbreaker. The clothes he wore were also extremely good to look at.

Shao Yunchen didn't seem to notice Lu Yao. He walked straight to the front desk and handed over a card with a low voice.

"Change into another suite."

"Alright." The receptionist took the card from Shao Yunchen and busied themselves with the computer.

In order for the baby to sleep soundly, Lu Yao turned around and walked to Shao Yunchen. She shamelessly asked, "Can I borrow your VIP card? I want to change suites."

Lu Yao was 1.7m tall, which was pretty tall for females. However, when she stood beside Shao Yunchen, she still looked very short.

The man lowered his head and indifferently looked at her, completely ignoring her.

Lu Yao choked in the middle of her throat.

No matter what, they were once husband and wife, and this man refused to lend her his card. This was too much!

Lu Yao gave Shao Yunchen a hard look, then she grabbed the money on the table and left angrily.

The receptionist changed Shao Yunchen's room and handed the card back to him, but Shao Yunchen didn't rush to take it and said, "Help that lady change her suite and say it's free. Only allow her to live there."

After all, Lu Yao was pregnant, even though he wasn't sure whose child it was. He would at least take care of her. After all, staying next to the ballroom will indeed affect her sleep.

When Xiang Dongnan learned that the cruise ship needed a VIP to change the standard room into a suite, he wanted to call his friend and ask.

Unexpectedly, less than half an hour later, the manager on duty from the cruise ship arrived.

The manager handed the room card over to Lu Yao and smiled. "Miss Lu, congratulations. As you are number one lucky star on our cruise, we have decided to change your standard room to the suite on the eleventh floor."

"Really?" Lu Yao felt like she was dreaming as she took the keycard.

However, after hearing from the manager that she could only live in that room, Lu Yao immediately understood what was going on. She didn't say anything and brought Tian Tian along.
