Xie Shizhu picked up the chopsticks and asked absently: "What book are you reading?"
Shen Zhan raised his eyes and glanced at her, then replied casually: "Criminal law."
Xie Shizhu: "..."
She ignored Shen Zhan, picked up a piece of food, and frowned at the dish she usually loved, but now she had no appetite.
Shen Zhan noticed something strange about her, closed the book and put it aside, got up and went to the kitchen.
Taking advantage of this moment, Xie Shizhu stretched out his arms and picked up the book Shen Zhan was reading just now.
The book is very thick, and it is not about criminal law. The cover says: Pregnancy Care Guide.
She was a little surprised and opened the book. The key points of each page were underlined with a black pen.
Listening to Shen Zhan's footsteps, Xie Shizhu quickly put the book back in its place, pretending that nothing happened, and sat up straight.
Shen Zhan came out of the kitchen, brought a glass of lemonade, placed it gently in front of her, raised his hand and touched her hair, and said softly: "Drink a little, your appetite may be better."
Xie Shizhu said lazily, picked up the cup and took a sip.
After Shen Zhan sat down, he lowered his head and glanced at the position of the book. He noticed that there was a slight deviation from where he had just placed it, and something strange appeared on his handsome facial features.
Xie Shizhu put down his cup, picked up his chopsticks and took two bites. He no longer had any appetite.
Shen Zhan stared at her pale face, his heart tightening slightly. After a long time, he said, "Aren't you going to eat?"
Xie Shizhu was in a very irritable mood. Once she lost her appetite, her mood would fluctuate abnormally. She said with a straight face, "Oh, your back hurts when you stand and talk. How about trying to get pregnant?"
Shen Zhan was silent for a long time and then said: "Take a bite and I'll transfer ten thousand to you."
Hearing this, Xie Shizhu was slightly startled and suddenly gained an appetite. She seemed to be afraid that Shen Zhan would regret it, so she quickly picked up her chopsticks and said, "You're right, I'm going to bankrupt you."
Shen Zhan's thin lips curled up slightly and he nodded slightly.
Xie Shizhu kept counting while eating.
Shen Zhan stared at her eating deliciously, with a smile flashing in his eyes.
After a while, Xie Shizhu finished a whole bowl of rice, and she even doubled the number she remembered.
The system rolled its eyes: [Host, you profiteer!]
"I ate a total of seventy bites, please transfer the money to me quickly!"
Shen Zhan didn't pay attention to her big mouth, picked up the phone and transferred a bill to her.
Xie Shizhu heard the notification that the account had arrived and touched his belly with satisfaction.

Before going to bed at night, Xie Shizhu huddled under the quilt and took the time to look at Shen Zhan.
A desk lamp was turned on in the bedroom, and the orange light shrouded the man, casting shadows on his clear outline.
Shen Zhan, on the other hand, was still holding the book he had just read in the restaurant, his long eyelashes casting shadows under his eyelids. He seemed to be immersed in the book, extremely serious.
Xie Shizhu couldn't help rolling his eyes: "What's there to read in this crappy book?"
Shen Zhan: "..."
He put the book on the bedside table, turned off the light, put his long arms around the woman's waist, and said in a low voice: "Go to sleep."
Xie Shizhu: "Oh."
While sleeping, Xie Shizhu touched Shen Zhan's well-textured abdominal muscles with his hands, breathing a little quickly, and whispered: "Honey, is the court going to be held today?"
Shen Zhan: "..."
System: [Host, you’ve had enough!]
Shen Zhan gently placed his well-jointed palms on her flat belly, and his low, deep voice was a bit hoarse and particularly sexy: "It won't open within three months."
Xie Shizhu frowned irritably, pushed Shen Zhan's hand away, and sat up suddenly, "Who wants to get pregnant with this broken pregnancy?"
Shen Zhan pulled her into his arms again, held her waist with both hands, and whispered: "Bear it."
Xie Shizhu punched his shoulder angrily and closed his eyes with reluctance.
In the middle of the night, Xie Shizhu began to feel uncomfortable again. She frowned, completely lost her sleep, and suddenly felt the urge to cry.
In the last world, she was still killing people with a gun, but this world has started to create people.
And it’s quite uncomfortable.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt aggrieved. She pushed herself up and ran to the bathroom in the bedroom, holding her hands on the sink and retching.
Shen Zhan woke up quickly, got out of bed, and quickly walked to the bathroom. Looking at Xie Shizhu's thin back, his heart was extremely heavy.
Immediately, he walked behind Xie Shizhu and gently caressed her back with his sharply knuckled palms.
Xie Shizhu turned her head and looked at Shen Zhan, her watery eyes were very charming. She wanted to slap Shen Zhan right now.
Shen Zhan took out a piece of paper and wiped the corners of her lips.
Xie Shizhu calmed down for a while, and Shen Zhan carried her back to the bed, covered her with a quilt, and stared at her sideways until Xie Shizhu fell asleep, then he closed his eyelids.

The next day, after Xie Shizhu woke up, he received a call from Lin Wen.
Lin Wen said that she had sent the evidence about Yang Zhi to Lawyer Shen, and asked her when she would withdraw the lawsuit.
Xie Shizhu yawned and said lazily: "When Yang Zhi receives the court summons, it will be the day of your liberation."
Lin Wen was silent for a while and said, "Xie Shizhu, you won't lie to me, will you?"
Xie Shizhu raised his eyebrows: "I, Xie Shizhu, never lie to others."
System: [Huh, I don’t believe it anyway.]
Lin Wen gritted her teeth and believed her for the time being. Moreover, Lin Wen's father was quite powerful. She believed that Xie Shizhu's ability would not pose a threat to her.
"Well, when will you divorce Lawyer Shen?"
Xie Shizhu got up from the bed and said, "Why are you asking me this? Go ask Shen Zhan."
Then, regardless of Lin Wen's voice, Xie Shizhu cut off the call.

In the afternoon, Zhang Ya found Xie Shizhu and asked her to dress more formally. She would take Xie Shizhu back to Zhang's house first.
Zhang Ya said that Shen Zhan would come over in the evening and asked her to go back to Zhang's house with her first.
Xie Shizhu is very unfamiliar with Zhang Zhai. She has only been to Zhang Zhai a few times since she was born. Moreover, Zhang Ya did not mention her parents. She just said that when the time is right, she will take her back to meet her grandma and grandpa.
Zhang Ya arranged for her to change into a long dress that looked cute, and then the driver sent her to Zhang's house.
When the car stopped at the entrance of Zhang's house, Xie Shizhu sat in the car and looked at the villa in front of him...
No, it can be described as a castle.
She was stunned.
Although she had seen many wealthy people, this was the first time she saw such a luxurious residence.
If she, Xie Shizhu, is very rich, compared with the Zhang family, she is dwarfed by the wealth.
The Zhang family is very large, and one needs to drive to get from the front door to the home. After passing through a particularly spacious path, Xie Shizhu could see a dozen nannies busy.
The car finally stopped. Before Xie Shizhu could recover, Zhang Ya had already gotten out of the car. She adjusted her makeup and told Xie Shizhu to behave better later.
Xie Shizhu nodded blankly, and as soon as her hand touched the car door, a housekeeper in a suit opened the door for her and whispered softly: "Miss Xie."
