Chapter 1221: Chapter 598: Pregnancy Makes You Silly for Three Years

Zuo Yuqing nodded, her gaze falling on her daughter, who was already asleep in her arms. She spoke, "The immigration application has been submitted, we’re just waiting for the approval now."

She had actually decided on this a long time ago. Once she finished filming this movie, she planned to quit the entertainment industry and devote her time to caring for her daughter.

Since her uncle and aunt didn’t have children, they had long ago given her a significant portion of their shares in the Zuo Group. Now the couple had retired, entrusting the Zuo Group to someone trustworthy to manage. Zuo Yuqing still received a considerable amount of annual dividends.

Anyway, if it’s not a few hundred million, it’s at least one or two hundred million.

This amount is much more than what she earns from filming each year, more than enough for her and her daughter to live on.

So, she didn’t plan to continue acting. Filming really left her no time to spend with her daughter, and she had already missed two years of her daughter’s growth.

Lu Jingchen, however, didn’t show much of a change in expression. On the other hand, Song Qiao appeared utterly confused.

Zuo Yuqing is planning to immigrate abroad?

Won’t that make it even more difficult for Chu Munan to pursue his wife and daughter in the future?

Should she tell Chu Munan about the daughter between him and Zuo Yuqing?

For a moment, Song Qiao was caught in a dilemma again.

Nevertheless, Lu Jingchen noticed the change in his wife’s expression and could see what was on Song Qiao’s mind. He just secretly held her hand, signaling her not to overthink.

His gaze returned to Zuo Yuqing, and Lu Jingchen asked, "Then about your marriage... is it resolved? Do you need my help?"

Zuo Yuqing smiled faintly and shook her head, "No need, we’ve already completed the divorce procedures. It’s just that the public isn’t aware yet. When we got married, we had already agreed on this, so there weren’t too many complications during the divorce. Besides... he has already gone after the girl he likes, so I’ve stepped back accomplished."

After all, she was still rather grateful to that man since he protected her and her daughter.

Lu Jingchen responded with a slight nod.

Song Qiao’s mind felt somewhat chaotic; today’s influx of information was too overwhelming for her to digest.

Oh dear, her brain started to hurt.

...

Until they sent Zuo Yuqing off, Song Qiao stood beside Lu Jingchen, her face showing a mix of laughter and tears. She said, "There has always been a saying online, ’One gets silly for three years after pregnancy,’ I feel it’s not accurate. Otherwise, it might be because I gave birth to twins, making me silly for even more years."

Otherwise, why does it feel like my intelligence hasn’t fully returned to its peak condition?

Lu Jingchen tilted his head and looked at his young wife, speaking amusedly, "So you’re saying your two pregnancies left you a little silly now?"

Song Qiao immediately expressed her dissatisfaction, glaring at him with her eyes, "You’re the silly one."

Lu Jingchen chuckled softly twice, then bent down slightly to steal a kiss on her cheek and whispered, "Alright, my little silly one, isn’t your husband here for you? Even if you remain silly, I will always protect you."

Lu Jingchen’s words made Song Qiao feel warmth in her heart, but also felt something wasn’t quite right.

After a moment of thought, as Lu Jingchen took her hand and walked toward the nearby Maybach, she snapped back to reality and pinched Lu Jingchen while gritting her teeth, "Did you say I might remain silly? Lu Jingchen, you’re sleeping on the couch tonight."

"Don’t do this, without holding you, I won’t be able to sleep."

"I don’t care, you’re sleeping on the couch tonight regardless."

"Alright, when we get home, I’ll see if you still make me sleep on the couch."

"Lu Jingchen, you’re such a rogue..."

The two started playfully teasing each other right in the street, just like ordinary couples would. Some passersby recorded the scene and uploaded it online.

Song Qiao never imagined that her playful moment with Lu Jingchen on the street would end up trending, with a few-minute video. Although their conversation wasn’t audible, creative netizens directly dubbed them.

Song Qiao only found out about this the next day, seeing the video almost made her laugh and cry.

The comments on that Weibo post had surpassed ten thousand, and the latest post on her and Lu Jingchen’s Weibo too had well over ten thousand comments.

...

Tan Shuya woke up the next day, met with glaring light, and felt pain on her wrist, making her frown involuntarily.

At first, she hadn’t fully come to her senses, but once she did, she instinctively turned to look around the hospital room, only to find that the person she wished to see wasn’t there, causing her tears to suddenly fall.

Song Qiao had returned to Lu Jingchen’s side, and last night, upon hearing this news, she felt both angry and upset, and during her neediest moment for support, she heard Jiang Yingjie had gone to H City to find Song Xi.

This made her suddenly feel as if the whole world had abandoned her, leaving her mad and agitated. With Jiang Yingjie by her side, she knew there was no hope with Lu Jingchen anymore. Eventually, in a fit of desperation, she tried to end her life by slitting her wrist.

However, she had timed it, knowing when the nurse would come check on her. What she hadn’t anticipated was her hand shaking, causing the fruit knife to cut deeper than planned, nearly killing her.

Not seeing Jiang Yingjie, Tan Shuya assumed he was still in H City and hadn’t returned.

The hospital door opened and footsteps resonated, followed by a hoarse voice asking, "You’re awake?"

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Tan Shuya’s eyes snapped open and she saw Jiang Yingjie standing before her. She immediately sat up and wrapped her arms around his waist, burying her face against his chest, "I thought you weren’t going to see me anymore, I thought I’d never see you again. When I was about to die last night, I realized you’re the one I can’t bear to leave."

Her voice was filled with sobs, crying miserably, looking utterly heartbroken.

Jiang Yingjie’s body stiffened in response.
