Chapter 860
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 .
