Chapter 32: I Should Work Harder

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Recently, Shen Jiao felt that something was wrong with her. She was not particularly busy every day, but somehow she felt very tired. She wanted to sleep all day, and yet she was in a depressed state.

As soon as she lay down, she began to have endless nightmares. When she woke up, she was covered in sweat.

Shen Jiao’s mental state had visibly decreased, and she had become haggard.

She had asked her family doctor to come over and check on her, but she didn’t see any results. He only said that she was suffering from a weak body and that she had been staying at home alone for a long time, so she might be suffocating.

Luo Yu could tell that something was wrong with her, so he wanted to take time off from work and take her out for a vacation.

However, Shen Jiao refused. “Now that the Luo Group has just been handed over to you, everything is on the right track. I don’t know how many people are watching you. In particular, you’ve just snatched Luo Lan and her daughter’s shares. Do you think they will be willing?”

She was afraid that if Luo Yu made any mistakes now, both of them would immediately retaliate.

Luo Yu looked at her and did not talk about work. He only had her in his eyes. “But I’m worried about you.”

Shen Jiao calmly analyzed the situation. She pressed her temples, forcefully drove away the tiredness in her head, and gave Luo Yu a bright smile. “I’ve just been a little sleepy recently. There’s nothing else. You don’t have to worry too much.”

“Sleepy?”

Luo Yu’s eyes looked up as if he had thought of something. His gaze fell on Shen Jiao’s stomach and his expression became a little subtle. “Have you felt nauseous recently?”

“You think I’m pregnant?” Shen Jiao burst out laughing. She waved her hand and looked at Luo Yu sarcastically. “You’ve not worked hard enough. How can it be so fast?”

Luo Yu narrowed his eyes and his expression instantly became gloomy when he heard that. “You think I don’t work hard enough?”

He suddenly leaned over and scooped Shen Jiao up from the sofa. He carried her and walked into their room. “It seems that I should work harder.”

Shen Jiao’s lips curled into a charming smile. She raised her eyebrows and put her arms around Luo Yu’s neck. She flirtatiously snuggled into his arms and said, “Okay, then let me see how hard you work.”

…

Shen Jiao still felt that there was something wrong with her, so she asked the family doctor to prescribe some medicine for her. Following that, her symptoms eased, so she did not take it to heart anymore.

Luo Yu gave Shen Jiao a week’s observation time. If she still felt uncomfortable after a week, she had to listen to his arrangements.

That night, Luo Yu did not go home because he had to work overtime for the company. Shen Jiao ate dinner alone, and she felt bored without Luo Yu to accompany her. Madam Zhao, who was in charge of the dinner, suddenly brought a big bowl of fragrant ginseng black chicken soup and handed it to Shen Jiao.

“Young Madam, I see that you haven’t been feeling well recently. Today, I have specially brewed ginseng black chicken soup for you to nourish your body. Drink it while it’s hot.”

Madam Zhao enthusiastically handed the bowl to Shen Jiao and advised her to drink the soup.

Madam Zhao was in charge of the food in their family. She was an old lady that Luo Yu had specially brought over from the old house. Her cooking skills were very good.

Shen Jiao leaned over to take a sniff and exclaimed, “It really smells good.”

“I’ve brewed this soup for six hours. I thought you would definitely like it.” Madam Zhao looked at Shen Jiao with a smile and once again urged her to drink it quickly.

Shen Jiao took a sip and was immediately convinced by the delicious taste of the chicken soup.

She had never tasted such delicious chicken soup before..
