24 You Even Let Her Go Out Alone

"Yeah." Lu Yao stuffed the food in her mouth and replied frankly, "That's why I want to eat sour food."

"..."

Xiang Dongnan facepalmed after confirming that Lu Yao wasn't joking with him. "You only said that you wanted me to act with you, you didn't say you're pregnant. Does Shao Yunchen know?"

"I know, I just met him in the swimming pool just now. I didn't tell him how many months the baby was." At this point, she moved slightly and looked at him with an embarrassed and apologetic expression. "Sorry, I was afraid that he would suspect, so I said it was yours."

After all, she didn't get his consent, and their relationship was just ordinary friends, she felt a little embarrassed.

She didn't expect Xiang Dongnan to be silent for a while. After a while, he looked at her seriously. "Yaoyao, if you don't mind, why not... let's try it."

Lu Yao was so frightened that her face almost fell into the soup plate.

"Senior Brother, don't misunderstand. Brother Dongnan, I didn't mean that." Lu Yao coughed and quickly pulled out a tissue to wipe her mouth, she said embarrassingly, "I just wanted to keep the child. At that time, the situation was urgent, and I couldn't help saying your name. Don't think too much about it."

Xiang Dongnan's face didn't look like he was joking at all. His eyes were calm and honest. "I'm serious. You have to bear a heavy burden in raising a child, I can take responsibility for all of that. I respect your opinion and I won't force you. Answer me when you've decided, I'll wait."

Tiantian seemed to understand Xiang Dongnan's words. She rubbed her head against Lu Yao with anticipation, wishing that Lu Yao could agree to her father's proposal.Lu Yao pursed her lips and didn't say anything.

Honestly, after divorcing Shao Yunchen, she didn't plan to find anyone and get married again. It was too tiring to manage a marriage. But Xiang Dongnan was right. It's a big burden to raise a child. Moreover, there are two elder people on top of her. She wasn't sure how much she could handle in the future.

Touching her belly through her clothes, she could even feel the baby's heartbeat, beating with her heart.

After a long while, she made up her mind and nodded in frustration."Okay... I will consider it."

Xiang Dongnan smiled and looked at Tiantian with a sigh of relief.

In the next two days, Lu Yao didn't encounter Shao Yunchen on the cruise ship. Maybe the cruise ship was too big. She often took Tiantian to go on various floors in the afternoon, so it was strange that she did not meet him.

On the morning of the third day, the cruise ship arrived in Osaka. The sightseeing tour also ended.

Lu Yao and Xiang Dongnan got off the cruise ship together. They saw Shao Yunchen's shadow in front of them. After getting off, he leads a few people in the car which soon disappeared.

The hotel sent a car to pick up Xiang Dongnan and Lu Yao. She sat in the car and watched the scenery whizz past outside the window. The houses weren't very high, but the streets were clean and tidy, giving people a very comfortable feeling.

She had been at the sea for a few days, and it seems she hadn't been to this place yet.When they reached downtown, she called for the car to stop.

"Senior Brother, you and Tiantian go to the hotel first. I want to take a walk around." Lu Yao took out her camera from her travel bag, she smiled and said, "I finally made it here. It's such a pity not to take photos."

"No, you're pregnant. I'll go with you if you want to walk around." Xiang Dongnan said worriedly. He insisted on accompanying Lu Yao.

Lu Yao rejected him with a helpless smile. "It's only been two months. It's not like I can't walk. I'll take care of my own safety. Besides, I have a phone."

"Alright, be careful then. Call me if you need anything." Seeing that she was persistent, he could only give up.

"Alright, bye."

After waving the car goodbye, Lu Yao walked slowly along the street admiring the scenery. When she saw good signs or buildings, she would stop and take a few photos.Lu Yao's mood gradually improved as the sun was not too high and the warm rays shone on her body.

Although she doesn't understand Japanese, she would always meet some tourists who can speak English. She asked which restaurant had the best delicacies, then she excitedly went to the restaurant with her camera.

When she finished eating and came out of the ramen noodle shop, she noticed that it was already dark, and the streetlights were brightly lit. There were a few stalls on the streets in a distance, and it was bustling with noise and excitement.

"I've been walking around for too long." Lu Yao raised her hand to check her watch, her delicate eyebrows slightly raised.

Afraid that her Senior Brother would be worried, she quickly took out her phone from her bag, intending to give him a call.

She pulled out her phone and saw that it had been turned off. She searched her bag and found that there were only five thousand yuan left.

Lu Yao stood on the side of the road at a loss of what to do.

With a sigh, she looked around and saw a convenience store nearby.

…

Xiang Dongnan waited until 7 o'clock in the evening. Seeing that Lu Yao still hadn't come back yet, he called her. However, he couldn't get through and was worried.

After settling Tiantian in his room, he picked up his jacket and left.

As he passed by the lobby on the first floor, he spoke to the receptionist in English, "Room 207, there is a five-year-old child. I have an urgent matter to attend to, so I'm a bit worried. Please keep an eye on her for me."

"Yes, sir."

In the end, Xiang Dongnan remembered something. He took out his phone and open the photo album, "I have a friend named Lu Yao, this is her photo. If she comes back later, please ask her to call me."

"…"

At this moment, the hotel door opened, and a slender figure walked in with a group of people. They were going to take the elevator when they vaguely heard the conversation between Xiang Dongnan and the receptionist. He frowned and walked over."What happened to her?"

Xiang Dongnan was shocked. He turned around and saw it was him. He frowned but didn't hide it and said, "She said she would walk around, but she hasn't returned yet. Her phone can't be reached."

Although Shao Yunchen was Lu Yao's ex-husband, and since he had asked, it would be faster to find her with the two of them.

The man's expression immediately darkened. With a heavy tone, he said, "This is Japan and she doesn't speak Japanese, and she's pregnant. You even let her go out alone?"

Previously, although he doesn't often go back to their apartment, he occasionally drove with Lu Yao to buy groceries, he found her very confused. She couldn't even distinguish between north, south, east, and west when she crossed the road, let alone in this foreign country.

The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. A hint of anger rose within him.

He passed the luggage to the person behind him and whispered a few words. The person nodded and quickly brought the other to the elevator.

Shao Yunchen took out his phone. He looked at Xiang Dongnan and said in a cold voice, "Where did she get off? Tell me the address."
