Jing Yao wasn’t worried about that. After all, she knew Liang Xun’s secret.

“Don’t worry about that. Liang Xun is definitely reliable.”

Zhu Ling looked at him suspiciously. “How did you know?”

Jing Yao was in a dilemma. After all, sexual orientation was a secret that could not be leaked to many people.

“Why? Are you still hiding it from me?” Zhu Ling glared at her. “If you don’t make it clear, I definitely won’t agree to you living with him.”

Jing Yao hesitated for a moment and emphasized, “I’ll tell you, but you can’t spread it.”

Zhu Ling nodded. “Sure, don’t you trust me?”

Jing Yao stared at her. “Swear that you won’t spread it.”

Zhu Ling frowned. “Why is it so troublesome? Alright, I swear that if I spread this matter, my brother will never be able to find a girlfriend.”

Zhu Ling thought to herself as she swore, Anyway, I don’t believe in swearing.

Jing Yao knew that Zhu Sui had a lot of weight in Zhu Ling’s heart. She believed her and whispered into Zhu Ling’s ear what she thought was Liang Xun’s secret.

Zhu Ling was first shocked, then suspicious. “Asexual? Are you sure?”

Jing Yao nodded quickly. “Yes, he said it himself.”

Zhu Ling snorted and already had a plan in her heart.

She thought that Liang Xun was his brother’s good brother and trusted him with Jing Yao. However, Liang Xun actually deceived her. She had to take revenge.

After lunch, Jing Yao thought of what Liang Xun had told her before he left and took out her cell phone to send a message to Liang Xun.

Zhu Ling sat beside her and glanced at Liang Xun on the screen. She frowned and said, “Why are you so obedient? He asked you to send him a message, and you really sent it to him?”

Jing Yao paused. Thinking about it carefully, what Zhu Ling said made sense. Although Liang Xun did this to ensure the safety of the child in her stomach, wouldn’t she lose her freedom in the future if she listened to him in every aspect?

“Let’s go. I’ll take you out to walk around the mall. You’ve been staying at home for more than a month and haven’t exercised much.”

Jing Yao nodded. Other than going out to buy groceries, she had indeed been at home for the rest of the month.

Liang Xun had already instructed the restaurant to put the meal on his tab. After the two of them finished eating, Zhu Ling and Jing Yao took a taxi and went straight to the mall.

When they were in the car, Jing Yao still secretly sent Liang Xun a message, telling him that she had gone shopping with Zhu Ling and that he shouldn’t send a car over.

Liang Xun thought of the people coming and going in the mall and how chaotic it was. He immediately replied: [There are too many people. What do you want to buy? I’ll get someone to buy it for you.]

Jing Yao replied: [I’m not buying anything. I just want to go shopping.]

Liang Xun was speechless.

At this moment, a female supervisor came to look for him. After giving her instructions, Liang Xun asked, “What do you women usually shop for? Clothes? Cosmetics?”

The female supervisor looked at him in shock at first, but she quickly regained her composure and replied with a smile, “President Liang, both are possible, but actually, we don’t shop at the mall to buy things. We just shop at the mall.”

Liang Xun nodded. Although he did not understand this behavior, he did not say anything.

After the female supervisor left, he took out his cell phone and sent a message: [Be careful. Go home when you feel tired.]

Jing Yao had been feeling nauseous recently and did not dare to look at her cell phone in the car. Hence, she put away her cell phone after telling Liang Xun.

This was the first time Liang Xun had experienced waiting for someone to reply to him. He had to look at his cell phone every few seconds.

Five minutes later, he couldn’t take it anymore and sent another message to Jing Yao: [What do you want to eat tonight? I’ll buy groceries and cook for you.]

Jing Yao leaned against the car to rest. Although she heard the notification, she didn’t look at it. She wanted to look at it after getting out of the car.

There was a traffic jam at this time. The car stopped and moved. The chauffeur always stepped on the brakes and then stepped on the accelerator. Jing Yao felt like vomiting.

After the car stopped at the destination, Jing Yao immediately opened the car door and rushed out. She found a trash can and threw up.

Zhu Ling didn’t look good either. With such driving skills, she almost vomited, not to mention Jing Yao.

She regretted suggesting to come to the mall now. Even so, she couldn’t bear to drag Jing Yao to continue shopping no matter if she could.

Zhu Ling ran to the supermarket and quickly bought two bottles of water. She opened one bottle and rinsed Jing Yao’s mouth. Only when Jing Yao recovered did she pull her to a milk tea shop and sit down.

When they arrived at the milk tea shop, Zhu Ling ordered a cup of iced milk tea and a cup of hot milk for Jing Yao. She then said, “Sit here for a while and send a message to Liang Xun to pick you up.”
