23 Swimming

The eleventh floor and the lower level were simply not the same class. The entire walls on the eleventh floor were filled with famous and valuable oil paintings. Even the interior of the suite was fabulous, it has an enormous French window, and outside was the endless sea.

Xiang Dongnan met a business partner on the cruise ship, and the other party kept asking him to have a chat.

He had no choice but to ask Lu Yao to take care of Tiantian.

Lu Yao smiled and told him to go ahead and talk about business, "Relax, I will take good care of Tian."

She packed up and took Tiantian to walk around the cruise ship.

The restaurant on the cruise ship was very big. It serves different food delicacies from various countries. After being pregnant for two months, Lu Yao especially liked to eat soup. She especially loved the sour Spanish soup. She drank quite a few bowls in a row.

At this time, Tiantian pulled Lu Yao's clothes.

"What's the matter?" Lu Yao asked following Tian Tian's gaze. It turns out that a few kids wearing a bathing suit just entered the restaurant. They were going for a swim after eating.

Lu Yao understood. She smiled and ask, "Do you want to go swimming?"

Tiantian nodded with great desire.

Lu Yao asked the staff where the swimming pool was and asked the chef to help her pack a box of sour plum cake before leaving.

The swimming pool was on the deck and its open air. There were quite a few kids playing around. The cabinet beside held all kinds of swimsuits and swimming rings.

Lu Yao was afraid that Tiantian wouldn't be able to swim. She wanted to put a swimming ring on her. Unexpectedly, Tiantian jumped into the water and floated out again after a few seconds, giving her a sweet smile.

Seeing this, Lu Yao told Tiantian to go and play. She was pregnant and she felt sore for standing for a very long time. She found a beach chair to sit on and ate the sour plum cake that she packed. She feels extremely well.

Gradually, many beautiful women came to swim, wearing all kinds of swimsuit and showing off their figure.

Lu Yao looked at the beautiful women, then looked down at her arms and thighs that had gained weight from eating too much, especially, her round stomach. Her heart was aggrieved.

Her figure was out of shape when she became pregnant. Would she age several years after giving birth?

Lu Yao angrily stuffed the sour plum cake into her mouth. Vaguely, she seemed to hear a familiar female voice, similar to Shao Yunchen's assistant, which was a bit coquettish.

Lu Yao looked towards the direction of the sound. Not far away from her, Fu Xuezi was holding the man's arm and shaking it on a beach chair.

"Boss Nian, can you consider the development of the western suburbs?"

"Alright, I'll consider it."

After making sure that the other party was not paying attention to her, Lu Yao took out her phone to record a video of the two people. For some reason, she felt a little angry for Shao Yunchen's clumsy eyes for choosing a woman.

She thought Shao Yunchen had found a good woman. Huh, it turned out to be a courtesan.

The two of them had been intimate with each other for quite some time before they finally left. They didn't notice Lu Yao spying at them. Lu Yao removed Shao Yunchen's number from the blacklist and was going to send the video recording.

When she was about to send it, she hesitated.

No matter what, she already divorced Shao Yunchen. If she sent this video to him, would he say that she was being nosy?

Should I send it or not?

Just when Lu Yao was hesitating whether to send it or not, she saw Shao Yunchen in the crowd. He had changed into casual clothes and was walking towards her in large strides.

Lu Yao held her phone in one hand and stuffed it into her bag. She lay down and pretended to read a magazine.

After Shao Yunchen came over, he crossed his arms and he sat down beside her. He casually asked, "Where's Xiang Dongnan?"

"Talking business with someone."

Hearing that, Shao Yunchen frowned. "He's talking about business with someone leaving you alone here?"

Lu Yao felt strange.

How come she doesn't even see Shao Yunchen a lot when they were married? They also didn't talk much. Why did she see him a lot after the divorce? They even talk a lot.

"I'm lying here and I'm comfortable." Lu Yao retorted coldly. "He's much better than someone who only comes home once a week and treats his house as a sleeping place."

After being suppressed by Lu Yao, Shao Yunchen's face turned even darker. He glanced down and saw her stomach being stretched by her clothes. The suspicion and confusion in his eyes were obvious.

After he left the bathroom that day, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something wasn't right.

The two of them had been divorced for less than two months. It was impossible for Lu Yao to have a relationship with Xiang Dongnan so quickly, moreover, getting pregnant. He guessed that the child was most likely his!

Lu Yao felt that his eyes were burning, so she covered her stomach with her hands.

Did he find out something?

Shao Yunchen asked casually, "When did you move into Xiang Dongnan's house?"

"After the divorce."

"After the divorce?" Shao Yunchen frowned and asked, "When did you know that you're pregnant?"

The smile on Lu Yao's face faded.

This man had dominated the conversation, leading her into the trap step by step.

Of course, Lu Yao was not that stupid. She replied calmly, "This has nothing to do with you, Mr. Shao. After all, we are done."

"Lu Yao, how many months is that child?" Shao Yunchen was obviously impatient. His manner of speaking was as if he was interrogating her.

"Mr. Shao, you're bored." Lu Yao said. "You asked me in the bathroom before and now you're asking me again. Are you bored?" I still remember what was written in our contract."

Shao Yunchen stared at her, and the corner of his mouth slowly curved down.

Yes, he said he wouldn't have children for four years because he was afraid of the burden of the divorce. But if Lu Yao really became pregnant, he didn't say he wouldn't be responsible.

He hoped from the bottom of his heart that the child belonged to him and not from the other men. Although he said that they should separate after the divorce and not disturb each other, he became more agitated after the divorce.

Especially when he returned to their previous apartment. It was empty. There was not a single trace of her makeup, clothes, or even a single trace of life. It was as if his heart was completely empty.

In fact, Lu Yao mentioning Xiang Dongnan from time to time makes him very upset.

"Excuse me, Mr. Shao. I'm leaving first." After all, he was from the business world and Lu Yao couldn't beat him. She was afraid that if she said a few more words, she might reveal some inkling of herself, so she excused herself to leave.

When Xiang Dongnan returned around 8 PM, Lu Yao followed him to the restaurant to have another meal.

She didn't know why, but she always feels hungry after getting pregnant. She often had to eat a few meals a day, and sometimes she would get up in the middle of the night to eat before going to bed.

Xiang Dongnan had drunk some wine with someone earlier, so he didn't have any appetite to eat. He just watched Lu Yao and Tiantian eat.

Seeing that Lu Yao was only eating sour noodles and sour soup, and was able to smell the sour smell across the table, Xiang Dongnan joked, "You can even eat such sour noddles and sour soup, are you pregnant?"
