CH 18

Shan Yi smiled and tucked her hair behind her ear. When she looked up again, there was a serious expression in her eyes. “You’re not allowed to regret it.”

Shen Tiantian was startled by Shan Yi’s seriousness and hesitated for a moment before nodding.

Shan Yi suddenly laughed and said hoarsely, “Baby, do you understand the true meaning behind my words?”

Shen Tiantian blinked her eyes and took a while to realize what she meant. Her face turned red.

It definitely wasn’t what she had thought.

Seeing her shy expression, Shan Yi knew that she had figured it out. She chuckled and said, “I’m just joking.”

She was teasing her again.

Shen Tiantian pouted and glared at her.

She knew that Shan Yi wasn’t joking, and she knew that some things would progress naturally. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to have a closer relationship with the CEO, but she was still somewhat afraid.

Perhaps it was because she didn’t have a deep impression of that night that she didn’t particularly care about it. But after establishing a relationship with Shan Yi, she became afraid that she would mind.

She felt that she wouldn’t be able to bear the sight of Shan Yi leaving, even if there was a faint possibility.

So she chose to conceal it.

Shan Yi took note of all the changes in Shen Tiantian’s expression and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Shen Tiantian hurriedly said, “It’s nothing, I’m just a little hungry.”

“I overlooked it.” Shan Yi lightly chuckled, sounding somewhat self-reproachful, “I forgot to remind Shan Xu to take you out for a meal first.”

Speaking of this, Shen Tiantian said, “The company isn’t far from my house. Your brother must be tired from shuttling back and forth. Let’s not trouble him anymore.”

She was in a relationship with Shan Yi, but having her girlfriend’s younger brother pick her up and drop her off every day felt strange to her.

Although it might sound ungrateful to say so, she really didn’t want to trouble others.

Shan Yi was taken aback for a moment, “I’m sorry, I neglected your thoughts. But you haven’t been feeling well these past few days, so let him continue to pick you up for now.”

Shen Tiantian didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, “I’m already fine.”

Just as Shan Yi was about to say something, a knock on the door interrupted them. It must be the hotel’s room service delivering breakfast. Shan Yi said to Shen Tiantian, “I’ll open the door first.”

“Okay.”

Shan Yi casually placed her phone on the pillow and as she got off the bed, it slid down slowly along the indentation. The phone stood upright, facing the door, partially covered by a white blanket, revealing half of Shan Yi’s head.

She didn’t know what they said, but Shan Yi stepped back a bit, and then another person wearing a professional hat appeared on the screen. She vaguely heard her say thank you.

Shen Tiantian could only see half of Shan Yi’s face, and couldn’t see anything more below.

She went to the kitchen with her phone in hand, preparing to make a simple dinner for herself. She glanced at the screen from the corner of her eye and stopped her hand that was about to open the refrigerator. She quickly looked back at her phone, but by then, Shan Yi had already closed the door and come back.

For some reason, she felt that Shan Yi’s half-profiled face looked somewhat familiar.

Shan Yi picked up her phone, looked at her background, and said. “Are you preparing dinner?”

Shen Tiantian didn’t have time to think about it, so she opened the fridge and saw that there were only a few bottles of drinks and a pile of face masks left inside. Helplessly, she said, “Yeah, but I don’t have any ingredients. I might have to order takeout.”

Shan Yi recalled that she had cooked the only piece of steak left in the fridge that day, and she had been with her these past two days, so Shen Tiantian didn’t have the time to go grocery shopping.

She smiled and asked, “What do you want to eat? I can have Four Seasons Hall deliver it over.”

Shen Tiantian licked her dry lips, her eyes filled with desire, “Is that possible?”

It wasn’t even eight o ‘clock yet and the Four Seasons Hall always had good business. They were probably already too busy to handle more orders. How could they have time to deliver takeout?

“It’s okay, I’ll have someone deliver it.”

Shen Tiantian thought about it and declined. “Let me ask Wanjun if she wants to go out for dinner.”

Shan Yi respected her decision, “Okay.”

“Aren’t you going out?” Shen Tiantian asked softly.

Shan Yi looked at the time on her phone and nodded. “It’s about time.”

“Then I’m hanging up.”

Shan Yi hummed. “Don’t you want to give me a farewell kiss before hanging up?”

“Tch …” Shen Tiantian almost choked on her own saliva. She was speechless, “You’re not even here.”

Shan Yi looked at her with a slightly aggrieved expression.

Shen Tiantian:……..

The CEO actually knows how to sell her charm!!

Does her image of abstinence still matter?!

Shen Tiantian felt that one day she would be seduced to death by Shan Yi.

No matter if it was the domineering CEO who asked for a kiss or the cute CEO who was easy to push down, she could not resist.

She couldn’t refuse. Under Shan Yi’s gaze, she pouted and made a kissing expression, then abruptly hung up, and the screen returned to the chat page.

A few seconds later, Shan Yi sent another message, reminding her to go eat.

Shen Tiantian replied in a confused manner, saying she’s going to find Liu Wanjun.

Liu Wanjun didn’t respond to the message, and Shen Tiantian was really hungry. She didn’t plan to wait for her and grabbed her bag and left.

Perhaps due to her recent illness, her appetite wasn’t great. She even felt like throwing up after drinking a bowl of shrimp congee.

After filling her stomach a bit, Shen Tiantiian saw that it was still early, so she walked to a nearby supermarket to buy some groceries.

As she passed the snack section, Shen Tiantian looked at the dried plums on the shelves and suddenly felt her mouth water. She inexplicably grabbed two cans.

She thought to herself that she could eat one during her idle time at work.

She pushed the shopping cart and stopped at the yogurt section. After hesitating for a while, she picked up two rows of Yakult.

After wandering around for an hour, Shen Tiantian finally decided to go to the checkout counter.

When she got home, she couldn’t wait to open one can of dried plums and put one in her mouth. Her cheeks were so sore that she was about to drool.

It was sour and satisfying at the same time.

She ate while playing with her phone, and Liu Wanjun had already replied to her message, asking her what was wrong.

She replied with a simple “nothing”, and at that moment, Kang Jiaya sent a message in the group chat. Both of them coincidentally returned to the group chat.

Kang Jiaya: I’ll be back in China for two days next Saturday and Sunday. Make sure to keep those dates free.

Shen Tiantian: Got it, Director Kang.

Liu Wanjun: Okay, I’m free anytime now.

Shen Tiantian asked: You don’t have work?

Liu Wanjun sent a mysterious smile and followed up with a text message: I’m pregnant, and the pregnancy isn’t very stable, so my husband asked me to resign.

The explosive information silenced the group for several seconds.

Kang Jiaya: ?

Shen Tiantian: So soon?!

Liu Wanjun: Yes, it’s been almost two months.

Shen Tiantian looked at Liu Wanjun’s words and couldn’t process. She and Mr. Lin had only been married for a month, which meant that Liu Wanjun was already pregnant before they got married.

Liu Wanjun was going to be a mother!

They grew up together, from their childhood years to the present, and now the first person to get married is pregnant.

She couldn’t imagine their lives with a child in the future.

She also wanted to give birth to a daughter for the CEO.

Shan Yi was so good-looking, their daughter would definitely be beautiful.

However, she also knew that this was probably impossible.

Although the technology is advanced now, the failure rate was still quite high, so she didn’t dare to have any expectations.

Shen Tiantian sincerely congratulated: Congratulations, Junjun.

Kang Jiaya: I’m going to be a godmother?!

Liu Wanjun: Yes, you’re all going to be godmothers. Get ready with the gifts.

Shen Tiantian chuckled and quickly typed a few words: Is it a boy or a girl?

Liu Wanjun replied: It’s only been two months now, so we can’t tell yet.

Kang Jiaya: I like girls.

Shen Tiantian: I like both.

Liu Wanjun: Mr. Lin also likes girls. He said that if this baby is a boy, we’ll have a girl in the next pregnancy.

Shen Tiantian: Because daughters are like little cotton-padded jackets ~

Kang Jiaya: It’s a lover from a previous life. Be careful.

Liu Wanjun: So what? The baby still has to come out of me. As long as I don’t allow it, any little or big lover of his will be out of luck.

Shen Tiantian: Hahahahahaha.

Kang Jiaya: I lost.

Liu Wanjun: After giving birth to this one, I’ll close up the shop. Any little lover can go elsewhere.

Shen Tiantian shook her head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. She didn’t know where Liu Wanjun had learned these words.

Closing up shop?

The topic of Liu Wanjun’s pregnancy was discussed in the group for the entire evening, from names to future girlfriends.

When she left the chat, it was already midnight, and there was a pile of preserved plum pits on the table from what she had eaten.

She was stunned, realizing that she had unknowingly consumed half of the palm-sized preserved plum can, feeling no sourness at all, only that her mouth was very dry and salty. She walked barefoot to grab a bottle of cold mineral water and drank more than half of it before feeling better. However, her tongue still had a slightly salty and sweet taste.
