Chapter 374: Chapter 374 Planning to Take Action Chapter 374: Chapter 374 Planning to Take Action Not until Lu Yichen and Zhong Niangyao had left did Lu Chenran truly breathe a sigh of relief. After thinking for a while, he still turned his head toward Zhong Mengxuan and spoke, “I probably won’t be going to the villa during this period. If you feel lonely, just go back to your own home and stay for a few days.”

The color drained from Zhong Mengxuan’s face. She reached out and grabbed Lu Chenran’s sleeve, her voice tentative, “Chenran, why would you suddenly decide this? Is it because of what just happened–”

She wasn’t a fool; she could clearly see that Lu Chenran’s decision was because of what Lu Yichen had just said. Right now, she absolutely loathed Lu Yichen and Zhong Niangyao. If it hadn’t been for them, Lu Chenran wouldn’t be making this decision now.

Yes, Long Jiarui was pregnant. But precisely because Long Jiarui was pregnant, she couldn’t afford to let go of Lu Chenran!

Long Jiarui was originally Lu Chenran’s lawful wife, and once the child was born, her status in the Lu Family would surely rise greatly.

She was already at a disadvantage. If she didn’t take advantage of this time to firmly hold on to Lu Chenran and try to get pregnant herself, then what kind of status could she talk about in the future! Of course, what she most wanted to do was to cause Long Jiarui to have a miscarriage. But that was so difficult, and up until now, she hadn’t found an opportunity.

Now, after the commotion caused by Lu Yichen, even the chances to see Lu Chenran were going to decrease. What opportunities could she speak of then!

“If you want to talk, talk properly. Don’t just grab at people when we’re outside.” Lu Chenran hurriedly pulled away Zhong Mengxuan’s hand, saying, “If we get photographed again, it’ll just cause another uproar.”

With a face full of sorrow, Zhong Mengxuan looked at Lu Chenran, even her voice carrying a whine, “Chenran, are you starting to despise me?”

Seeing the sorrowful look on Zhong Mengxuan’s face, Lu Chenran felt a twinge of pain, but having just been warned, he also didn’t dare to be too physically intimate with Zhong Mengxuan in public. He still stood there but softened his tone a bit.

“Mengxuan, you know that’s not what I mean. I just think that it’s better for us to keep a low profile at the moment. And, Third Uncle wasn’t wrong. Now that Long Jiarui is pregnant, I should also consider her feelings somewhat, shouldn’t I?”

“But–” Zhong Mengxuan was full of grievances, “Don’t you need to consider my feelings? Long Jiarui has her status, and everyone in your family is protecting her. But I only have you.”

As she spoke, Zhong Mengxuan looked up at Lu Chenran, her eyes filled with reliance.

Lu Chenran indeed felt touched, but thinking of Lu Yichen’s warning, he could only speak in the end, “Mengxuan, aren’t you the most sensible one? The situations simply can’t be compared right now. I can’t let things get too ugly with the Long Family, can I?”

His words left Zhong Mengxuan speechless and unable to refute. Finally, she could only nod reluctantly.

“Alright then, I won’t be by your side for a while, so take good care of yourself! If you get skinny, I’ll be unhappy, you know?”

At this point, she knew she couldn’t be confrontational. Otherwise, she would incur Lu Chenran’s disdain. Now, she had almost completely fallen out with the Zhong Family, and her only reliance was on Lu Chenran. No matter what, she had to cling to Lu Chenran to continue living this way of life.

Plus, she was very clear on what kind of words could arouse a man’s pity at this moment.

“I understand.” Lu Chenran reached out, pinched Zhong Mengxuan’s nose, and then spoke, “I will take good care of myself. You take care of yourself too. Wait, I’ll transfer five million to your account. Since I can’t accompany you these days, go shopping and buy whatever you like!”

A flash of brightness crossed the depths of Zhong Mengxuan’s eyes, but her face remained aggrieved, “Compared to the money, I would much prefer that you stay by my side. As long as I can see you every day, I would be willing to live however meagerly.”

Lu Chenran was deeply moved, “Since it’s for you, then spend it well. I like it when my woman spends my money.”

Zhong Mengxuan said nothing, but when she looked at Lu Chenran, her eyes were filled with adoration and dependence.

Such a gaze greatly satisfied the vanity in Lu Chenran’s heart, and also deepened his protective desire for Zhong Mengxuan.

Yet, in a place where Lu Chenran couldn’t see, the depths of Zhong Mengxuan’s eyes flickered with a chilling hatred, directed toward Zhong Niangyao.

On the other hand, Zhong Niangyao didn’t care much about Zhong Mengxuan’s thoughts, but she was somewhat surprised that Lu Yichen would utter such words.

“You even bother with Lu Chenran’s affairs.” Zhong Niangyao was puzzled, “I didn’t expect, you still had that bit of uncle-nephew affection for him!”

“What he does isn’t my concern,” Lu Yichen spoke indifferently, “but Zhong Mengxuan by his side seems to have quite the hostility toward you!”

“Huh?” Zhong Niangyao was taken aback and then laughed, “So you did this for me! Actually, there’s no need. I never took Zhong Mengxuan seriously.”

“But, such an annoying fly buzzing around is quite bothersome, isn’t it?” Lu Yichen looked at Zhong Niangyao and raised his eyebrows, “This is also a warning for Zhong Mengxuan.”

“After this incident, she probably hates me even more,” Zhong Niangyao said with a laugh, shaking her head, “Well! Even without this incident, she’s already hated me to the bone.”

She felt quite innocent too! She thought she had never proactively provoked Zhong Mengxuan, yet Zhong Mengxuan always regarded her as an enemy. It was unknown if there was something wrong with her brain.

“She should hold back a bit,” Lu Yichen said, “She’s merely Lu Chenran’s mistress, but being too high-profile could easily displease Lu Chenran’s mother, as well as the Long Family.”

An understanding flickered in Zhong Niangyao’s eyes, “It seems someone is planning to make a move against her!”

“Lu Chenran’s mother is already planning to take action,” Lu Yichen continued, “But she won’t target Zhong Mengxuan. Such methods are too low-class for her; she disdains using them.”

Zhong Niangyao blinked, “Looks like Zhong Mengxuan is going to have a tough time.”

Not targeting Zhong Mengxuan didn’t mean letting her off easy. Precisely because she wasn’t the direct target, the approach could only be crueler. This time, Zhong Mengxuan had truly shot herself in the foot.
