Ye Zhen quietly said, "Zhouzhou, you've been at home for so long and haven't gone out to see dad, right? Mom will take you out to go see dad later. Does that sound good? Your dad leaves early and comes home late to earn money for your infant formula and diapers. We should go see him and deliver some yummy food and drinks to him, right?"
After saying that, she sighed. "While we're there, he can clarify the matter of mom being the third party. Otherwise, you'll carry the title of the third party's son. That sounds so unpleasant to hear. Your dad is so lackadaisical and unconcerned about matters like this. What can I do? I can only deal with it myself. Mom doesn't want to bring you with me, but mom doesn't feel at ease leaving you alone at home.
"Mom is so pitiful. I just finished my one-month recuperation period and now I have to roll up my sleeves and handle this matter. When you grow up, you have to protect mom, okay?"
The baby, who was sleeping soundly, smacked his lips and turned his head, leaving Ye Zhen with only a view of the back of his head.

At 11:30 AM, Aunty Yue brought the lunchbox over to Ye Zhen. Zhouzhou had slept two hours. He had been fed milk and had his diaper changed. Because Ye Zhen was taking Zhouzhou out, Aunty Yue had prepared a lot of things: clean diapers, clothes, infant formula, milk bottle, and a stroller.
"Madam, the car has been prepared. Do you want to give the Young Master a call?"
Ye Zhen was holding Zhouzhou. The weather seemed just right. "Call him and ask if he's at work. Don't tell him I'm going over there. I don't want a long-winded message."
Aunty Yue smiled. "Okay, I'll have someone make the call now."
Ye Zhen checked the temperature on Zhouzhou's little hand. Seeing him looking at the sunshine and excitedly kicking his legs, she kissed Zhouzhou's chubby little face. "Okay, okay, mom will take you outside now."
Aunty Yue was behind them with the items she had prepared including the stroller. Ye Zhen held Zhouzhou and got into the car that would take them to Lu Corporation.

The driver was experienced at his job and had gone through special training. On the flat road, he drove the car steadily and evenly. Ye Zhen, who was sitting in the back seat and holding Zhouzhou, didn't feel the slightest sway. It was if she was walking on level ground.
Lu Beichuan had gotten a call from a household servant that someone would be bringing lunch over at noon.
He normally didn't eat lunch on time, but since Ye Zhen had specially sent someone over with lunch, he would definitely set aside time in his schedule for it.
Around noon, Lu Beichuan got Ye Zhen's call. She said she was downstairs with Zhouzhou and they were waiting for him.
Startled, Lu Beichuan's eyes twitched. He strode out of his office as swift as the wind. He didn't even care to put on a coat before going out. "Why did you come?"
"I brought Zhouzhou with me to bring you lunch. Are you touched, Mr. Lu?"
Lu Beichuan's eyes kept twitching. He couldn't help raising his voice. "Just stay there. I'll come down to get you!"
As a few employees passed by him, they greeted him. Hearing his words, they blinked in surprise.
Hearing his nagging voice, Ye Zhen pouted. Without a better option, she said, "It's not like I don't have legs... Fine, I'll stay in the car to wait for you. Happy with that?"
After saying that, Ye Zhen hung up.
There was a Rolls Royce along with two BMWs parked outside of the office building. It was noon, and the cars attracted a lot of attention. Security guards also went forward to shoo off these cars. Before they did that, they inquired about the identity of the passengers. The driver informed them and sent away the security guards.
CEO Lu's wife had come here to see him. Who would dare chase her away?
Even if the car was driven into the company's lobby and stopped at the front desk, there would be no complaints.
The elevator chimed when it reached the first floor. Lu Beichuan rushed out of the elevator. He was dressed formally with a white shirt and a vest over it along with shiny leather shoes. He hadn't even taken the time to put on his suit jacket. He strode towards the doors where the car was parked.

It was currently lunch break, and the employees were leaving the office building in small groups. The luxury cars that were parked outside attracted many people's attention. But although they were curious, it wasn't enough for them to stop them in their tracks.
After all, luxury cars weren't that uncommon in the most prosperous city.
No one was allowed to stay parked here for too long. The security guard stepped forward to ask and found out that it was actually CEO Lu's wife!
This news caused many people to start whispering into each other's ears.
Everyone in the company knew that CEO Lu had gotten married and his wife had given birth. During work hours, there would always be some people gossiping about it. They had also discussed in private about potentially specious information they had read on messy forums and also who was CEO Lu's true love. Was it Mrs. Lu or Shen Weiyin?
If Mrs. Lu was truly CEO Lu's true love, then why hadn't he taken her out to any public events after their wedding? But if they were to say Shen Weiyin was CEO Lu's childhood sweetheart and true love, CEO Lu didn't seem like someone that would let himself suffer any grievances.
The excessive grudges and grievances that existed among prominent families that were written in tabloids were too terrifying. They just casually chatted about it during lunch when they were bored. It didn't matter if it was real or not. It was just entertaining anecdotes to chat about with a cup of tea or after a meal. Still, no one dared to openly gossip about their boss in front of him.
They were surprised to see that Mrs. Lu had come to the company.
A lot of people raised their heads to get a look at Mrs. Lu, who so many people had talked about.
When Lu Beichuan walked out of the elevator, his eyes were sharp like arrows and knives and his expression was calm. He strode towards the front doors.
The group of employees that encountered him all moved to the side. They nodded and respectfully greeted Lu Beichuan, "Hello CEO Lu."
Lu Beichuan ignored them. All of his attention was captured by the conspicuous Rolls-Royce parked outside of the building.
When he had gotten Ye Zhen's call, his heart had almost fallen out. He was very anxious.
This woman always made him worry. She was out running about when her one-month recuperation period had just ended. What would he do if something happened to her?
Lu Beichuan sighed and stopped by the car door.
The driver saw Lu Beichuan's expression and promptly lowered his head. He secretly questioned what was the difference? CEO Lu's attitude towards his wife was fine when they were at home. Why was he acting so differently when they were outside?
The driver didn't dare to say anything.
Standing in front of the car door, Lu Beichuan leaned over and opened the door. He very carefully helped Ye Zhen, who was holding the baby, out of the car.
Ye Zhen had only taken one step out of the car and leaned out when Lu Beichuan tightly wrapped his arm around her waist. That force was just the right amount for Ye Zhen to stably step out of the car.
Ye Zhen tilted her head back to look at the skyscraper that could claim to be the third tallest building in the city. She sighed. The Lu's were truly very rich. This skyscraper towered in the clouds, too imposing.
Lu Beichuan looked at her profile. His tone softened, "Why did you come?"
Ye Zhen tilted her head and smiled at Lu Beichuan. "I brought Zhouzhou with me to bring you a lunchbox. Mr. Lu, aren't you touched?"
This type of sweetness mixed in with his worry gave Lu Beichuan mixed emotions. However, seeing the smile on Ye Zhen's face, he swallowed down the words he wanted to say. He glanced at the sleeping baby in Ye Zhen's arms. "Zhouzhou's asleep? Let me hold him."
Ye Zhen put Zhouzhou into his arm. Lu Beichuan held Zhouzhou with one arm and kept the other arm around Ye Zhen's waist as they walked into the building.
Behind them, the driver closed the car door. Seeing how intimate they looked from the back, he sighed in relief.
He had thought CEO Lu's attitude towards his wife had changed. But no, that wouldn't make sense. The two of them seemed stuck at the hips when they were at home. He had overthought.
