The mood in the entire room instantly became peculiar.
Feeling embarrassed, Ye Erruo pulled her hand away from her husband and tried to get up and sit on the chair beside him instead. Alas, how could the man possibly allow her to do that?
His arms stayed tight around her waist and trapped her in his embrace while he said into her ear in warning, âDonât wriggle about, Baby Ruo.â
Sheâd better behave herself and obediently stay in my embrace.
Complex feelings surged within Bo Jinyan as he studied the couple. âXiao Ruo, is your relationship with your boyfriend that steady?â
Mo Jiangye corrected the other man with a satisfied smirk. âMind you, Iâm her husband, not her boyfriend. Also, I remember telling you before that my wifeâs name is Ye Erruo.â
Lawyer Zhangâs eyes suddenly glinted. He could sense that something was going on here.
Is this man Bossâs love rival? Is he interested in sister-in-law?
Bo Jinyan let out a low chuckle in response. âThe two of you arenât married yet.â
âPardon? Need I remind you that sheâs always by my side?â
Pfftâ A mouthful of tea spurted out of Yao Tiaoâs mouth.
Cough, cough, cough, cough... âSorry. Please excuse me.â
Ye Erruo was speechless.
The man, who was fiddling with his wifeâs hand, spoke up. âThereâs no need for you to be concerned, as weâll be holding our wedding ceremony in a few months. After all, my son will get a lot bigger in her stomach by then, so weâll have to do it as soon as possible.â
Pfftâ The tea that Yao Tiao had just taken another sip of was once again spurted out. Thank God she managed to turn her head in time to spray it on the floor this time.
Even Ye Erruo was stunned. Son? What son? Why am I not aware of this?
âBoss, is sis-in-law pregnant? Why didnât you tell us?â That piece of news filled the lawyer with surprise and excitement.
Thatâs fast. Way too fast, in fact.
I didnât expect Boss to have both a wife and a child. What a complete surprise!
âSo what if I had told you earlier?â
âT-Then... I would have prepared a bigger red packet for you.â
Mo Jiangye rested his chin on Ye Erruoâs shoulder and, in an utterly gentle voice, said, âYou can always prepare another one when the child is born.â
The woman placed her hand over his and turned her head in his direction to shoot him a glare. However, she ended up feeling baffled, as his tender, loving gaze was fixed on her.
âLawyer Zhang, order the food.â The corners of his lips were surreptitiously lifted in smugness.
Lawyer Zhang, however, was holding his phone and secretly snapping photos of the couple. Even at the risk of getting a tongue-lashing from his boss, he wanted to preserve images of this lovey-dovey scene. Thus, he threw the menu to Yao Tiao instead.
âYou do it.â
Yao Tiao dumbly reached out for the menu.
âXiao Ruo, you...â Bo Jinyanâs gaze, which was filled with complicated feelings, landed on her stomach.
Ye Erruo gritted out in response, âYes, Iâm pregnant.â
Her husband placed a big smooch on her tender cheek when he heard that. Now that he was on cloud nine, there was a marked improvement in his attitude and tone as he spoke to Bo Jinyan.
âYao Tiao, order a bit of everything because we have no idea what Mr. Bo prefers.â
âOh, okay.â
âI donât know where you live either. Give me your address so I can send you our wedding invitation. You should come and give us your blessing,â Mo Jiangye said in an infuriating, annoying tone.
The corners of his wifeâs lips twitched. âDidnât you come to his house last time?â
âOh, Iâve forgotten where it is.â
â...â
âNever mind. Itâs enough that you remember. Weâll definitely remember to send an invitation to you, Mr. Bo.â
There he goes, floating off in his daydream. Heâs gone completely batty.
Son? Only he can come up with something like that.
Bo Jinyanâs eyes grew dim. âIsnât it too early to know the childâs gender?â
