When Zhou Mingchen returned home, he found that Xia Lu had already gone to bed. He pushed open the bedroom door and saw her lying quietly on the bed, her breathing steady, as if she had been asleep for a while.
He glanced at his watch. It was not yet ten o'clock; she usually wouldn't rest so early.
"Madam might have done too much during the day and got tired," said Aunt Zhang, "She's been dieting lately."
Although she hadn't gained much weight during her pregnancy, Xia Lu's figure had still changed somewhat. It would take some effort to return to her previous shape, but he wasn't surprised.
Hearing the sound of running water from the bathroom, Xia Lu opened her eyes and sat up. Turning her head, she saw Zhou Mingchen's phone lying silently on the bedside table. She inwardly lamented his lack of caution. He just left the phone there so brazenly without worrying about Miss Hong sending another message that she might see. Or maybe he wasn't afraid of being discovered by her at all?
