Chapter 1712 - Troublesome Pregnant Woman
Shen Fanxing raised an eyebrow and smiled in confusion.
“You want me to come with you? Are you sure?”
Bailey nodded. “Is there anything inconvenient?”
Shen Fanxing sneered coldly. She was leaning against the sofa with a fruit in her hand.
‘Inconvenient?’
Was there no one more free than her now?
She said that she wanted to pick fruits for her grandmother as a form of filial piety, but it was inconvenient in her current state?
She lowered her eyes to hide her expression before saying,
“Do I look like someone inconvenient to you now?”
Bailey forced a stiff smile. “That’s good. Let’s go together.”
Shen Fanxing placed the fruit in her mouth and sat up straight. She stared at Bailey for a long time before her lips curled.
“It doesn’t matter if I go. I’m just worried that I’ll meet another driver like the last time. It’s not worth it if I don’t return this time.”
She brought up the past.
Bailey’s face froze.
Queen Yulia’s face darkened.
“I can eat the fruits or not. Fanxing, stay at home obediently.”
Shen Fanxing smiled at Bailey and said, “The weather is indeed quite cold. This is a chance to show my loyalty! Next time… it won’t be too late.”
Shen Fanxing paused for a moment, but Bailey didn’t mind.
“Since you have something on, forget it. I can do it myself…”
With that, she stood up.
Just as she stood up, her body swayed slightly and she looked like she was about to fall to the ground.
“Bei Lei! You’re still sick, why are you fooling around?!” Ye Jingyun sounded anxious.
Bailey shook her head and said, “These few days are the best time for the fruits to ripen. It’s a pity to miss it. Besides, I’m staying at home. It’s better to do something for Grandma.”
What beautiful words.
Even Shen Fanxing was touched.
“Fanxing, come with me.”
The one who spoke was Ji Fengmian, who had been silent.
Her sudden voice attracted everyone’s attention.
Bei Lei and Ye Jingyun looked at her warily.
She calmly made a mark on the document before saying slowly,
“You have nothing to do anyway. Why don’t… you go out for a walk?”
Ji Fengmian looked up at Shen Fanxing.
The mother and daughter stared at each other for a while before Shen Fanxing frowned and nodded.
“Alright, since you’ve personally invited me, there’s no harm in going.”
Bailey’s lips curled into a sincere smile.
“Let’s go then.”
Shen Fanxing nodded and asked, “Do you mind if I bring another person?”
Bailey frowned and was about to reject her when Shen Fanxing beat her to it.
“Picking fruits is physical work after all. One more person means one more helper. Moreover, I’m indeed worried about going out with you alone.”
Bailey didn’t know what to say.
There was a momentary awkwardness in the room.
Shen Fanxing walked out of the room first.
When Bailey followed her out, she realized that a woman had already followed Shen Fanxing.
The woman was slender and wore a white down jacket. She was holding a black leather suitcase that didn’t match her clothes and figure.
She frowned, but seeing that she had only brought one woman, she didn’t say anything else.
The three of them walked towards the palace gates.
“Fanxing, wait for me…”
Bailey struggled to follow behind the two of them. When they finally reached the entrance of the palace, she suddenly called out to them.
Shen Fanxing raised an eyebrow and paused.
Bailey caught up with them, breathing heavily.
“Sorry, I’ve been… not feeling well recently, so can I walk slower?”
“If you’re not feeling well, why don’t you stay at home…”
Tang Jian saw that Bei Lei’s face was red and her voice was hoarse.
Before she could finish speaking, Bailey’s legs gave way and she collapsed to the ground.
“Hey!”
Tang Jian bent down to look at her.
Bailey lifted her heavy eyelids. “Sorry, my head is really dizzy now…”
“I’m afraid I can’t go to the manor! But… Fanxing, can you help me go? I have to pick the red bananas and oranges. Father has to inform him to come back… Otherwise, I won’t be able to explain to Grandma…”
Shen Fanxing crossed her arms and looked down at her.
“You want me to go alone? I thought you had thought of another trick to torture me on the way. It seems that I was overthinking.”
Bailey said weakly, “You… you’re thinking too much. Grandma is very unhappy with me now. How can I do anything to make her angrier? It won’t do me any good, right?”
Shen Fanxing’s eyes darkened.
After a long while, she smiled sarcastically.
“…Then rest well. After all, it’s something arranged by Grandma. Someone has to complete it.”
Bailey smiled weakly. “Thank you… for your hard work.”
Shen Fanxing pursed her lips and turned to leave.
Tang Jian was speechless.
Bailey said, “I can go back myself. You can accompany her first. Thank you.”
Tang Jian helped her up.
Bailey watched as Shen Fanxing and the woman got into their car.
When the car started, a cold smile appeared on Bailey’s sickly face.
–
In the car, Tang Jian looked at Shen Fanxing in confusion.
“What are you thinking? What good can happen when that woman calls you? You actually agreed to come out with her?”
Shen Fanxing asked, “Is she really sick?”
Tang Jian paused. “Yes, my body is indeed hot. It doesn’t seem fake.”
Shen Fanxing smirked and said calmly, “Three days. She had a cold for so long. It’s a miracle that her brain isn’t damaged.”
Tang Jian asked, “Are you saying that she did it on purpose? But why did she put on this show?”
Shen Fanxing adjusted herself into a comfortable position.
“Of course not to make it easy for me. What good could come from her searching?”
Tang Jian’s face darkened. “You knew there was danger and you still took the initiative to fall into her trap?! Do you believe me when I call your husband?”
Shen Fanxing glanced at her and said, “Go ahead. Anyway, my mother asked me to come. He should settle scores with her.”
The corners of Tang Jian’s lips twitched. “…Then why are you still going now?”
“Of course I’m going. If I don’t, wouldn’t it be a waste of the good show that the mother and daughter have rehearsed?”
Tang Jian looked up at the sky and let out a long sigh. She rubbed her forehead and said angrily, “Are you crazy? You know that there’s a tiger on the mountain, but you choose to go there?”
Shen Fanxing closed her eyes and snorted. “Yes, I’ll be Wu Song this time.”
Tang Jian gritted her teeth. “Wu Song? The pregnant Wu Song?”
Shen Fanxing was speechless.
“Goodnight~~ The big babies who voted won’t gain any weight tomorrow!!! Happy Mid-Autumn Festival~~”
