Yan Shixiu: "Then, should I be thankful for Miss’s affection?"
Shi Lan: "I can hear you’re not too willing, but Yan Shixiu, as long as I want something, I must have it."
Yan Shixiu, on the other end of the phone, felt a jolt in his heart, his lips curling with a hint of mocking lightness: "A mere commodity— as you wish."
This time, Shi Lan didn’t respond, and only before going to bed did Yan Shixiu receive a reply from her.
Shi Lan: "I don’t see you that way."
Shi Lan didn’t know why she had this dream, or more accurately, this memory. When she awoke, it was still dark outside, the leaves rustled, blown by a strong wind. At that moment, she was nestled in Yan Shixiu’s arms, quietly listening to his strong heartbeat.
Perhaps it was the mid-stage of pregnancy that made her become hungrier. She wanted to get out of bed to find something to eat, but as soon as she moved, Yan Shixiu woke up.
Shi Lan was somewhat taken aback.
Running his fingers through his hair, Yan Shixiu propped her against the headboard: "Would noodles be okay?"
Shi Lan nodded her head.
Shi Lan watched him get up and disappear into the bedroom. Before long, a simple yet nutritious bowl of noodles appeared before her. Dıscover more novels at ɴovelfire.net
"Uncle Yan." Shi Lan called out as she ate her noodles.
Shi Lan shook her head: "I dreamt about before our marriage, in a past life. You told me, ’A mere commodity— as you wish.’"
Yan Shixiu became a bit more alert and looked at her, wiping the corner of her mouth with his hand, smiling: "Didn’t you reply? ’I don’t see you that way.’"
"Yes, and the second half of that, ’You’re not a commodity, you’re the person I want to have.’ If you’ve heard me say anything vague or seen me give any ambiguous attitude, I can give you all the answers now."
Yan Shixiu touched her head and shook his head: "Having you by my side now, is the best answer. The Miss, after getting pregnant, has become fond of acting spoiled."
"I love it to death."
Shi Lan laughed, her appetite opening up. But fearing she would gain weight, she restrained herself to eating only half, then passed the other half to Yan Shixiu. The couple embraced once more after finishing a bowl of noodles in the middle of the night.
Pregnancy must make one more emotional.
The boss felt that she hadn’t quite been herself lately.
The next day, the couple went to Shuangshi together. Shi Lan first settled the affairs at Peak, then planned to check on the progress, wanting to see Zhou Yi’s latest situation. However, she was really too sleepy and ended up curling up in Yan Shixiu’s arms to sleep.
Yan Shixiu handled contracts with one hand while holding Miss with the other. The baby bump was getting bigger, and Miss was more inclined to sleep.
At that moment, the manager of the planning department knocked on Yan Shixiu’s office door, holding an event proposal. It was the task assigned by him the day before, and he wanted the results today.
Upon hearing the knock, Yan Shixiu instructed Xun Yinghua to let the person in but to keep their voice down.
Unaware of the situation, the manager carefully pushed the door and entered, but at the moment of entry, their eyes widened.
There was a big living person sleeping in the President’s arms, and that... that small belly...
On usual days, Shi Lan wore loose windbreakers that made it hard for people to notice her pregnancy. But now, only wearing a fitted brown sweater, the protrusion of her belly was undeniable.
The manager felt as though she had stumbled upon some juicy gossip, suddenly covering her mouth with her hand.
So, the couple she shipped had already made a baby?
She had discovered an earth-shattering secret!
She was so excited she felt like scratching the walls!
