The Substitute Bride

In the gap between traffic lights, Lu Qichen listened to the voice from the back seat. His face was slightly heavy. After waiting for the red light for more than ten seconds, Lu Qichen kept thinking about what An'an would think if she saw Zhang Lu after returning home.

He didn't want to upset An'an, but at the moment he could only use this strategy to recruit power. After listening to Shen Qing's words for the time being, he only hoped that when he got home, Xia'an would not make too much noise.

The road from the hospital to Jingyuan is not too far, and it is soon to the door.

Xia an heard that Shen Qing was discharged from hospital today. After sending her two children to school, she went to the vegetable market early in the morning to buy vegetables with Song Ma, intending to make a big table of rich dishes for Shen Qing.

It's not about trying to please Shen Qing. It's just that Lu Qichen is caught between them.

She can't help but love Lu Qichen, and always unconditionally compromise for her, even if he doesn't trust himself and doesn't love himself so much.

Xia'an accompanied Song Ma to work in the kitchen all morning. She was sweating. Her clothes were soaked in sweat. She could only bear the heat of the kitchen and her body was wet and dry.

"Ann, you go out and have a rest. I'll be fine in the kitchen." Song Ma looked at the sweat on Xia'an's forehead and couldn't help saying with heartache.

"It's OK, Song Ma, I'll help you, and I want to do my best to make delicious food for her." Xia an wiped his sweat and said with a smile to Song Ma.

Song Ma see this is not good to say any more, a face of complex Dun in situ.

She really didn't understand that an'anming was very kind to Shen Qing and was so kind-hearted. How could Shen Qing treat Zhang Lu as an outsider instead of seeing An'an.

Song Ma shook her head helplessly and continued to cut vegetables.

Finally, she finished a large table of dishes that Shen Qing loved to eat. Xia an was relieved and went to take a bath and changed into clothes.

Xia an just came out of the room when he heard something outside the door. Thinking about this time, Qichen and Shen Qing were almost home, so they hurried to the door.

The door was soon opened, and Xia an welcomed her with a smile on her face. Unexpectedly, she saw Zhang Lu coming, too. Xia an's smile froze for a few seconds before she could react.

Xia'an is really uncomfortable when she sees Zhang Lu again. After all, she can't forgive Zhang Lu's planting and framing her. It is clearly that she first provokes herself, and she also bumps herself to the ground, but she puts the accusation on her head.

However, on second thought, Zhang Lu only came to visit for a short time. After dinner, she left. She had to be patient for a while, and then put away the strange look on her face and said nothing more.

"Congratulations, mom. Welcome home." Xia an tries her best to show her most natural smile. Although the picture of Shen Qing wronging her last time and beating her up in the hospital is still fresh in my eyes, she just wants to have a harmonious family and is not willing to hate these things. She believes that as long as she treats Shen Qing sincerely, she will one day see her own heart.

However, Shen Qinggen didn't give Xia an half face. He turned his head to one side with a cold hum, ignoring Xia'an.

"Mom," Lu Qichen said to Shen Qing in displeasure.

Shen Qing, with a face, opened her mouth to Xia'an: "Why are you still pestering at the door? Don't you want us to go in?"

In fact, there is still a lot of space beside Xia'an to cross the road, but Xia'an still makes a few steps to the side and doesn't want to argue with Shen Qing.

Xia an's retreat, Lu Qichen saw in his eyes, also felt that his mother was a little too much, cast a grateful glance to Xia'an. When Xia'an saw Lu Qichen's eyes, his first reaction was to avoid his eyes.

Since Xia'an left the hospital that day, her relationship with Lu Qichen seems to have a layer of separation. No one dares to touch it easily.

Just as they passed by Xia'an, Xia'an clearly saw Zhang Lu looking at her, and her eyes were full of arrogance.

"The food is ready. Please wash your hands and eat first." Xia an uneasy greeting.

"Ann, it's hard for you." Lu Qichen said to Xia'an, and then naturally took Xia'an's hand and walked to the living room. Xia'an was stunned. For a moment, her brain was blank, and she just walked along with Lu Qichen's movements.

Zhang Lu looked at this scene, the jealousy in his eyes almost gushed out.

The meal was destined to be spent in a depressing and depressing atmosphere. Except for Shen Qing and Zhang Lu who were eating and chatting at the same time, others were as silent as the principle of eating without saying anything.

"Lulu, look at this. It tastes good." Shen Qing kept adding vegetables to Zhang Lu. After a while, Zhang Lu's bowl was like a hill piled up.

"Thank you, aunt Qing. You and Qichen will eat it, too." Then he added some dishes to Shen Qing, and also to Lu Qichen.

Only by the way, Qichen, seeing the momentum, quickly picked up the bowl and subconsciously looked at Xia'an. He looked at Xia'an with an expression of desire and silence. He probably wanted to explain but didn't know where to start.

Zhang Lu was not embarrassed. She pretended to take back his chopsticks carelessly, but the corners of her mouth sank.Xia an looked at them more like a family. She couldn't tell what she felt. She chewed the food numbly and tasteless.

Clearly, she is Lu Qichen's wife, but at this moment, she feels that she is so redundant, just like an outsider.

In the middle of the meal, Shen Qing suddenly put down the bowl in his hand, covered his lips with his palms, and coughed a few times. He succeeded in attracting people's attention to himself.

"I announce one thing. It's not a big deal. It's just that I want Lulu to stay here with me for a while. Xia'an, you can clean up the room after dinner."

Xia'an thought that she had heard something wrong and didn't respond for a long time.

Zhang Lu wants to live at home? Xia'an slowly digests the information, and when she comes back, she is very angry. She can't help but look at Lu Qichen, wondering how he will react, and maybe she has a trace of expectation for him.

It is expected that he can reject Shen Qing's proposal.

Although Lu Qichen had psychological preparation before this, he didn't expect that Shen Qing suddenly put it forward with such solemnity at the dinner table. He could feel the expectation in Xia'an's eyes, but he had promised Shen Qing.

Lu Qichen felt that his voice was dry and hoarse, and he was also reluctant to let Zhang Lu live. However, in the current situation, Shen Qing seemed to know whether she would stop for a while. If she refuted her, she would be able to make a scene at the dinner table immediately.
