Xuxu affectionately patted her head. “You’re the clingiest.”

Su Yue stuck her tongue out at her and let go of Zhou Shuang’s arm. She grabbed Bai Jing and said, “Bai Jing, let’s go in quickly. There seem to be many people.”

Xuxu’s gaze shifted to Zhou Shuang’s belly. She rubbed it and commented, “Your stomach is getting bigger by the day. It already seems larger since I saw you two days ago.”

Zhou Shuang’s belly was larger than Xuxu’s when she was about to give birth to Meowmeow and Yangyang.

It was hard to imagine how huge her tummy would be in two more months.

Zhou Shuang frowned. She pouted and said, “I have to eat so much every day. I’m so fat now.”

Xuxu smiled. “Isn’t it good that you get to eat?”

She imagined that Zhou Shuang’s current lifestyle was worse than a panda’s.

“How is that good?” Zhou Shuang frowned. “The more I eat, the fatter I get. My back hurts from just standing around doing nothing.”

She pounded at her back depressingly.

Every day, it troubled her how she was going to lose weight in the future.

Many women return to their original figures after pregnancy. Would she be one of them…?

Xuxu frowned. “Then don’t eat.”

“I don’t want to either.” Zhou Shuang sighed. “You don’t know how his grandfather stares at me as I eat every day.”

His statement had Xuxu dumbfounded.

It seems like all old people are desperate to have grandchildren.

Back then, Mu Li also forced her to eat all kinds of food, but not to the extent that she stared at her as she ate.

Both of them walked into the banquet hall.

From afar, Xuxu saw Lu Yinan happily chatting with the rest. She stared for a while longer, as though she was observing him.

Then she turned to Zhou Shuang with a look of interest. “So how is it?”

Her sudden question confused Zhou Shuang. “How was what?”

Xuxu raised her eyebrow. “How was it like to stay with the Lu’s?”

Zhou Shuang pursed her lips. “It seems dangerous and complicated.”

Xuxu didn’t understand. “How is it dangerous and complicated?”

Although she didn’t go to the Lu’s often and she didn’t know their family well, she understood Old Master Lu quite well. He was an honest, frank, and cheerful man.

The last time they met, she could tell that he was very pleased with Zhou Shuang, not just because of the kids in her belly.

Logically speaking, Zhou Shuang should have been pampered there.

“It’s just a feeling. Lu Yinan’s sisters don’t seem to like me.” Zhou Shuang looked depressed.

Xuxu frowned. “Yishan is quite nice.”

Zhou Shuang replied, “Lu Yishan is fine, but his older sister and his cousins from abroad doesn’t seem to like me.”

Other than Old Master Lu, Xuxu only knew Lu Yishan. She didn’t know the other members of the family at all.

So, she couldn’t judge the situation. She hugged Zhou Shuang’s elbow and smiled. She comforted, “Old Master Lu is the emperor and Lu Yinan is the heir to the throne. As long as the two of them like you, you don’t have to care about the rest.”

She felt that Zhou Shuang already felt aggrieved to have to stay with the Lu’s when she had no official status. There was no need to appease all of them.

Zhou Shuang bowed her head and mumbled, “He doesn’t like me.”

“Ha…” Xuxu suddenly laughed. She stared at Zhou Shuang’s face.

“Shuang, you’re blushing.”
