Chapter 188 : Remind Yaoyao

The weekend weather was lovely, and Lu Yunyao and Ye Wanqing went out shopping.

Ye Wanqing cheerfully said, “Yaoyao, it’s been a while since I’ve seen you.”

Lu Yunyao teased, “Yeah, Wanqing. Tell me the truth, have you been dating my brother every day?”

Ye Wanqing’s cheeks flushed slightly as she awkwardly coughed twice. “Ahem, I’ve only seen your brother about seven or eight times recently.”

“Just seven or eight times? It sounds like your relationship is progressing quickly. Am I going to have a sister-in-law soon?”

Ye Wanqing’s face turned redder. “Don’t talk nonsense, it’s still too early.”

But she knew deep down that Lu Yunyao was right. The two families already had a marriage agreement, and she got along so well with Lu Shao that it was likely they would settle on marriage this year. If the elders were a bit more eager, they might even get married this year.

“Yaoyao, have you gotten a bit fuller?”

Lu Yunyao felt a bit shy. “Really?”

She was pregnant and had been taking in a lot of nutrients lately, so her face indeed didn’t look as frail as before. However, she hadn’t told Wanqing about her pregnancy yet.

“Yeah. You used to be too thin; you look better this way, not too fat or too thin.”

Lu Yunyao touched her face. Was it really that noticeable? Si Yu and Yan Ran had also said she looked better now. Could this be the glow of motherhood?

After walking a few steps, Ye Wanqing suddenly bent over, holding her stomach in pain.

“Ow, I got my period, it hurts so much.”

“Let’s find a place to sit and rest for a bit.”

The two of them went to a nearby garden restaurant and sat in a quiet private room to talk.

Ye Wanqing kept drinking hot water, but her face still turned pale from the pain.

“Yaoyao, do you get stomach pains when you have your period?”

Lu Yunyao shook her head. “Wanqing, actually… I’m pregnant.”

“What? You’re pregnant?”

Ye Wanqing’s eyes widened in shock, momentarily forgetting her stomach pain.

Lu Yunyao nodded shyly. “Yeah, I wanted to tell you a while ago but hadn’t found the right opportunity.”

“Yaoyao, this is such a surprise! I can’t believe you’re having a baby.”

Ye Wanqing was too stunned to care about her own discomfort.

“Can I touch your baby?”

“Of course.”

Ye Wanqing carefully touched her belly, quickly retracting her hand after a moment. “I’m so scared I’ll hurt them.”

Lu Yunyao smiled, not minding at all. “It’s fine, babies aren’t that fragile.”

After all, this was also Mr.’s baby. Mr was so healthy and tall, their child would surely be strong.

Ye Wanqing sincerely said, “Honestly, in my eyes, you’re still a child. I didn’t expect you to get pregnant so soon.”

“But being pregnant is a good thing! As your aunt, I need to prepare lots of baby formula and gifts for your little one.”

Lu Yunyao gently touched her belly, a strong sense of happiness swelling within her.

How wonderful it was that this child, even before being born, had already garnered so much love and anticipation.

Her baby would surely be cherished and nurtured.

“Yaoyao, have you told your family about your pregnancy yet?”

Lu Yunyao shook her head. “Not yet. I plan to tell my parents and brother the next time I go home.”

Ye Wanqing couldn’t help but laugh at the thought. “I can guarantee your brother’s expression will be quite something.”

After finally getting his sister back, their family hadn’t even had a chance to dote on her before the cunning CEO Fu swept her away!

Not only had he taken her away, but she was already pregnant so soon!

Wouldn’t that drive Lu Yunbei mad?

Ye Wanqing confidently said, “If your husband were anyone else, your brother would definitely give him a good beating.”

Unfortunately, that person was Fu Sichan.

Fu Sichan was a man at the top of the pyramid, with a single thought, he could reshape the powerful families of Bei City.

Lu Yunbei might want to confront this brother-in-law, but sadly, he wouldn’t dare!

Lu Yunyao didn’t quite understand her words.

She tilted her head in confusion and innocently asked, “What do you mean? Is my brother really scared of Mr?”

But Mr was so gentle and caring; why would her brother be afraid of him?

Ye Wanqing mysteriously blinked and left her in suspense. “When your eyes are opened again, you’ll understand everything.”

By then, Yaoyao would surely have a huge surprise waiting for her.

—

That evening, back at her place, Ye Wanqing applied a facial mask while scrolling through her phone.

She came across a recent post from Bai Xuan.

Bai Xuan’s caption read: “Finally achieved my wish, I’m closer to my moon.”

Ye Wanqing clicked on the picture and was shocked to see it was a staff badge from Fu’s Group!

Employees of large corporations have their own badges to access doors and elevators.

But wasn’t Bai Xuan from the Bai family? How could she have joined Fu’s Group?

Feeling puzzled, Ye Wanqing commented, “You’re working at Fu’s Group now?”

Bai Xuan replied, “Yes, thanks to CEO Fu for giving me this opportunity for experience.”

Ye Wanqing pressed on with her questions: “Do you know CEO Fu?”

Bai Xuan shyly replied, “Mm-hmm, CEO Fu is my senior, and I always call him ‘senior brother.’”

CEO Fu… wasn’t that Yaoyao’s husband?

Bai Xuan’s words seemed to imply she was quite familiar with Yaoyao’s husband.

Ye Wanqing removed her facial mask, feeling a bit unsettled.

She had initially thought that Bai Xuan was a refined and well-mannered heiress.

But after the incident where Bai Xuan encouraged her to date a male model, almost leading to her breakup with Lu Shao, Ye Wanqing became more wary of her.

“What kind of ‘senior brother’… sounds so insincere, he must not be a good person!”

“But Yaoyao is pregnant now. Should I tell her about this? Ugh, it’s so complicated! I’m so conflicted!”

“Why can’t this Bai Xuan just be honest? The Bai family has their own company, why does she need to work at someone else’s husband’s company?”

And on top of that, she had to post on social media bragging about it, saying she was “closer to my moon.”

Puh! Is that really your moon?

That’s her best friend’s moon! It belongs to Yaoyao!

How could a toad like her dare to covet someone else’s moon?

This woman clearly had ulterior motives, she might want to take advantage of Yaoyao’s pregnancy to elevate her own status.

No, I need to think of a way to subtly warn Yaoyao.

Even if I know Bai Xuan can’t succeed, this situation is just too irksome, I can’t stand it!
