After all, Liang Xun was rich and handsome. He definitely had a lot of women around him. Furthermore, he had said that he was not interested in women. It should be quite tortuous for him to encounter such a situation.

Jing Yao didn’t mind being his shield.

Jing Yao lived in an old apartment building. There were all kinds of people living here.

When Liang Xun followed her back to get the household register, he realized that this place was very noisy. It was impossible to rest well here.

Jing Yao was pregnant now, so she had to rest well.

Moreover, he had spent so much effort to get a legal relationship. He definitely had to seize the opportunity to get along well with her.

The car stopped in front of the apartment building. Jing Yao thanked him and got out of the car, followed by Liang Xun.

“Liang Xun, I’m here. Thank you.”

Liang Xun raised his eyebrows. “I’ll accompany you to pack your things. We’ll move today.”

Jing Yao thought that a marriage certificate was enough, but now she had to move?

“I’m worried about you staying here,” Liang Xun added.

Jing Yao was stunned.

Liang Xun seemed to know what she was thinking and explained, “This place is not safe. It’s not suitable for you to stay here in your current situation. I need to ensure its safety.”

As Liang Xun spoke, he looked at Jing Yao’s stomach.

Jing Yao followed his line of sight and looked at her lower abdomen. Her lower abdomen was very flat and nothing could be seen.

It had to be said that Liang Xun’s reason was irrefutable.

But …

Jing Yao bit her lip. “My phone and wallet are still with Zhu Ling. She will definitely come to me tonight.”

Liang Xun said indifferently, “Ask her to send them to my house.”

“Your house?” Jing Yao thought Liang Xun meant that this place wasn’t safe and he would rent another place for her to live.

“Jing Yao, we’re already married,” said Liang Xun.

“Contractual marriage,” Jing Yao reminded him.

Liang Xun said, “No matter what kind of marriage it is, it’s a fact that we’re married. You’re afraid that the child won’t be legitimate after he’s born, but if we live separately after we get married, this child will suffer from many rumors in the future.”

Jing Yao had nothing else to say.

“But Zhu Ling… Alright, I’ll go get them myself tonight.”

Liang Xun sized up her carefully and finally understood what she was worried about.

He said helplessly, “Jing Yao, we can’t hide it. Zhu Ling will find out sooner or later.”

Jing Yao twisted her fingers. “I’ll tell her one day later if I can.”

Liang Xun was amused by her serious and scared look. “Are you that afraid of her?”

Jing Yao nodded. “That’s Zhu Ling. If she knew about this, she would eat me up.”

Liang Xun could tell that the two of them had a good relationship and were close friends.

He admitted that he was a little jealous. No matter what kind of relationship it was, to be able to go both ways was something he looked forward to.

When Jing Yao rented this place, she moved in with her bag, so she didn’t add too many things. It wasn’t difficult to pack them up.

In less than an hour, everything was put away. Jing Yao took Liang Xun to the landlady on the first floor.

Jing Yao was the landlady’s regular target every month, so she was quite familiar with Jing Yao. Seeing Jing Yao coming with a man, she instantly knew what she was here for.

“Refund the lease?”

Jing Yao was scared by her urging. Every time she saw her, she would be a little scared. Hearing the question, Jing Yao nodded quickly like a student who was called by a teacher in class.

“Alright, wait for me to calculate it for you.” The landlady took out her notebook and flipped to Jing Yao’s page.

“The deposit is 3,000. I can refund it to you, but I can’t refund the remaining rent for this month. When you rented the house, we agreed that we would refund the rent at least half a month in advance. You came at the last minute, so it’s not easy for me.”

Jing Yao pursed her lips and nodded, enduring the pain. Although it was the truth, her heart still ached.

She even wanted to discuss with Liang Xun if she could move out after the rent expired this month.

Liang Xun had been secretly sizing up Jing Yao. Seeing Jing Yao’s distressed and helpless look, he actually found her a little cute.

After leaving the landlady’s house, Jing Yao held the 3,000 deposit that the landlady had returned and was in a bad mood.

Liang Xun asked, “How much more should she refund your rent?”

Jing Yao looked up at him and calculated in her heart. Then she stretched out two fingers. “2,000.”

Liang Xun nodded and took out his wallet. He counted 2,000 yuan in cash and handed it to her.

Jing Yao didn’t take it and just looked at him in confusion.

Liang Xun said, “I was the one who suggested that you move now, which resulted in you losing 2,000 in rent. I should be responsible.”

Jing Yao blinked. Although she felt that it was a bit far-fetched, she still reached out to take the 2,000 cash.
