Chapter 1305: Chapter 1304: Dig One’s Own Grave, No Way to Live Chapter 1305: Chapter 1304: Dig One’s Own Grave, No Way to Live Bai Lan also knew this was the greatest punishment for a woman.

Without a reputation, how could a woman continue to live?

She guessed that now, if she were to go out, she would become the target of everyone’s pursuit and commentary.

Bai Lan sighed, but then felt Su Qian wasn’t worth sympathizing with. When Su Qian treated her like that, she should have anticipated this outcome.

It was truly self-inflicted, irredeemable suffering.

A complete case of getting what she deserved.

Right then, Zhou Shengting walked into the bedroom and saw Bai Lan with her phone, thinking she must have seen it too and actually didn’t want to hide it from her.

“Why don’t you sleep a bit longer?” Zhou Shengting asked with a furrowed brow.

“Do you think I’m a pig, able to sleep that much? I’m not sleepy anymore. I’ve already slept for several hours.” Bai Lan looked outside, guessing it was already noon.

“That’s fine. You can rest more. Are you hungry? Why don’t you get up and eat something first?” Zhou Shengting walked over, sat on the edge of the bed, and gently took her hand.

“Uh-huh, I am actually a bit hungry. Sorry, Hubby, for causing you to worry and messing up your business trip too,” Bai Lan said with a hint of self-reproach.

Ah, it was all because she trusted people too easily; now, Zhou Shengting’s work had also been delayed.

“As long as you’re fine, that’s what matters. Luckily, the baby is strong too. You two are the most important. Don’t worry about other things, okay? Silly.” Zhou Shengting stroked her head as he spoke.

“Okay, I’m getting up,” Bai Lan said, making a move to rise.

But Zhou Shengting was quicker, lifting her by the waist.

“I can walk by myself. Doing this at home is so embarrassing,” Bai Lan protested quietly.

Yet, as if he hadn’t heard her, Zhou Shengting carried her to the dining table, causing Auntie Zhou, who was nearby, to smile.

Bai Lan did seem really hungry, drinking congee and eating quite a bit of food, which made Zhou Shengting very happy.

“Do you have plans for the afternoon?” Zhou Shengting asked.

“None, I originally wanted to go back to Mom’s, but that’s off the table now. By the way, did you explain the situation to them?” Bai Lan suddenly remembered, speaking anxiously.

“They’ve already called, and I told them you had something urgent and would go back in a couple of days,” Zhou Shengting assured her.

“That’s good, then. I’ll go back tomorrow.”

“I’ll accompany you then.” This time, Zhou Shengting was genuinely a bit frightened.

In the afternoon, Bai Lan didn’t go out; instead, she stayed home reading books to pass the time.

Zhou Shengting was in the study dealing with some documents.

Just then, Mother Zhou called, “Sheng Ting, are you at home? Bring Bai Lan back for dinner tonight.”

Zhou Shengting was surprised, “Mom, is something wrong?”

His mother wasn’t the type to call them home for a meal without a good reason, and he knew her well.

“Uh-huh, it’s been a while since I’ve seen Bai Lan. As a grown man, you don’t take care of her enough,” Mother Zhou said.

So that was the matter.

“She’s doing fine, but we’ll come back tonight.” It had been a while since their last visit.

“Okay, I’ll have the staff start making soup,” Mother Zhou said cheerfully.

Her son still cared deeply about her feelings.

Zhou Shengting continued working until about four-thirty when he returned to the room to see Bai Lan was still sleeping, and she was sleeping soundly.

He couldn’t bear to disturb her, so he sat by the bed and watched her.

Only when she woke up did he tell her about going home for dinner.

Bai Lan scolded him for not waking her up earlier.

Going over so late, she reckoned her mother-in-law would be unhappy again.

Sigh, in truth, Bai Lan was still quite afraid of going back.
