Li Miao laughed along. “It’s Zhao Zhan’s good fortune to be able to cook for you.”
Seeing that Madam Qin was not around and Zhao Zhan was busy in the kitchen alone, Li Miao immediately made a decision. “I’ll call Yang Dashan over and ask him to help Zhao Zhan. Your house has to entertain guests at night. If he keeps this up, how long will it take for him before he can have some rest?”
Before Yue Jiaojiao and Zhao Zhan could refuse, Li Miao had already left in a hurry with the pastries.
“Li Miao is really… Always so energetic.”

Yue Jiaojiao took out a square handkerchief and raised her head to wipe the sweat off Zhao Zhan’s forehead. “I’m sorry that you’ll be busy for dinner tonight.”

Zhao Zhan lowered his head and cut the vegetables seriously. “I wonder when Fang Tianliu will be able to rush back.”
At this moment, Fang Tianliu was curled up in the storage space in the cabin with his hair and face unkempt.
Two months had passed.
Li Xiangjun had been recuperating in Willow Village these days. Her face was no longer as sickly and sallow as before.
“Xiangjun!” Yue Jiaojiao carried Zhao Nian in her arms and shouted from outside. She then pulled open the thick curtain and entered the room. “The weather is getting colder. You must not catch a cold.”
The charcoal brazier in my room hasn’t been turned off. Li Xiangjun hurriedly went to the door, wanting to reach out to take Zhao Nian from Yue Jiaojiao’s arms.
“You’re pregnant. You shouldn’t be carrying him.”
Yue Jiaojiao dodged to the side and placed Zhao Nian on the couch at the side. “He’s getting more and more energetic now. Madam Qin and Zhao Zhan aren’t here today. I can’t handle him alone, so I carried him here to let him relax. I heard that you didn’t want the servant that Madam Qin picked for you last time. I’m starting to get worried that you’re not telling me things you need.”
Li Xiangjun hurriedly shook her head. “I’m used to being alone. I’m not used to having someone take care of me. Jiaojiao, it’s already been two months, has Fang Tianliu still not sent back any news?”
Because of Doctor Zhou’s prescription, Li Xiangjun had been sleeping better than before and was much gentler. Compared to before, other than her appearance, her entire temperament had completely changed.
Yue Jiaojiao had never heard her mention Manager Li and his wife in the past few days. She was worried that she would make Xiangjun sad if she asked, so she kept her doubts to herself.
“There was news from Jiangnan saying that they saw Fang Tianliu, but he seemed like he was rushing off somewhere. Before they could even greet him, he had already left and disappeared.
“Don’t worry too much. Since Fang Tianliu is in Jiangnan, it’s only a matter of time before we find him and tell him to come back quickly.”
Li Xiangjun was disappointed. Her stomach had gotten a lot bigger, and she would be giving birth in three months. It would take a month and a half to get back to Willow village from Jiangnan.
“Jiaojiao, I wanted to hide it from Fang Tianliu forever.” Li Xiangjun lowered her head. She placed her hand on her stomach to feel the movements of the little guy inside. “I’m afraid that I might die from dystocia. If I die in a place where no one knows, I can’t imagine what my child will go through in the future.”

A familiar voice came. Li Xiangjun suddenly looked up and stood up. She looked at the person standing at the door, not knowing how to react.
Yue Jiaojiao also turned her head and looked over.
Fang Tianliu was already walking towards them. His gaze was fixed on Li Xiangjun’s stomach before he looked up at her face. “Why are you here?”
His eyes were cold and his tone was full of questions.
Li Xiangjun subconsciously took a step back because of his words. She looked at him in a daze and opened her mouth, “I…”
“Didn’t you get married in Jiangnan?” Fang Tianliu looked into Li Xiangjun’s eyes.
“I personally followed the carriage you used to send the bride off all the way to Jiangnan. What’s wrong? You’re not happy with your husband’s family, so you came back to find me?” The corner of Fang Tianliu’s mouth twitched, revealing a mocking smile. “Do you really think that I’m that st*pid? Why would I let you come and go as you please? Miss Li, you’re not the only smart person in the world.”
“Fang Tianliu…” Li Xiangjun found her voice after a long time. “The child in my stomach is yours.”
She gritted her teeth, not wanting to cry in front of Fang Tianliu. However, her red eyes betrayed her.
