Bringing the Nation's Husband Home

Qiao Anhao’s mouth went wide in shock as she glanced at Lu Jinnian in disbelief.

After a moment, she asked, "How did she die?"

"She bit her tongue, committing suicide." After a short pause, he added, "She died yesterday and the burial was done that night."

It was actually the day before, on their wedding, but Xu Jiamu had pushed the date forward by one day.

Qiao Anhao remained silent.

Han Ruchu had done many bad things - she had killed their child, caused Qiao Anxia to never have children, made Lu Jinnian commit suicide... The more she had thought about it, the more she had wanted to murder her... But now that she was really dead, she couldn’t help feeling sympathetic.

Regardless of circumstances, death is never a good news. Qiao Anhao lost the mood to shop, heading back to Mian Xiu Garden with Lu Jinnian.

On the way back, she sighed. "I never expected her to die just like that, even though in the past I really wished she would just drop dead."

Lu Jinnian remained silent, focusing on the road ahead.

-

After the wedding, Qiao Anhao only had one job - have a smooth pregnancy.

Qiao Anxia also had one job - rest until she was alright.

Lu Jinnian moved the majority of his work home, and ever since Qiao Anhao became pregnant, he specifically employed Madam Chen, who had served them previously when they were acting as a couple.

As for Xu Jiamu, he resumed his work three days after his mother passed away.

Everyone seemed to be living peacefully, putting everything behind them.

Seven days after Han Ruchu passed away, Xu Jiamu headed over to the cemetery to buy her some incense and to place a bouquet of flowers. When he was back to Su Yuan apartment, it was already 9 pm.

When he opened the apartment door, he heard sounds from the television. Lifting his head, he glanced over at the living room. Song Xiangsi was huddled on the sofa with a light blanket covering her. The image was comforting, so with his lips lifting into smile, he placed his car keys on the cabinet before walking over.

"Have you eaten?" Only after he asked did he realize she was already asleep.

‘Isn’t it still early... How can she have fallen asleep?’ Xu Jiamu mumbled internally.

Subconsciously, he knelt down to stare at her face.

After a long while, he stood up and carried her to the bedroom gingerly. After placing her on the bed, he tucked her in. Just then, she opened her glazed eyes and asked sleepily, "You’re back?"

"Mmh."

Song Xiangsi sat up. "Have you eaten?"

Xu Jiamu shook his head.

"I left you dinner, it’s in the flask." Song Xiangsi turned, preparing to get up.

Xu Jiamu reached out to stop her. "I’ll do it, you should sleep."

"It’s okay, I slept enough." Due to her pregnancy, she was often asleep so it didn’t matter whether or not she slept now.

Xu Jiamu followed her out of the bedroom. He leaned against the dinning table, staring as she heated the food. Unknowingly, his lips curled upwards into a smile.

Even though Song Xiangsi had already eaten, she sat with him as he ate.
