Chapter 231 - 231 Fl.u.s.tered Yun Xixi

"Oh. Pregnant. So that's why...?!" Yun Xixi felt like she heard her boss wrong. 

'Pregnant?! Already! Wasn't it just a month ago that boss had married that man? It was not that long and yet this already? Isn't this too much? Wait, if I remember correctly, if boss is pregnant and if her vomitting in the past was because of that, then that only meant that...'

At the realization, Yun Xixi's eyes widened in shock and turned to her boss who seemed calm and acted as if this matter does not concern her at all. This only made the suspicion she had to be confirmed. "Eh?"

October looked at Yun Xixi's reaction and thought that it was cute. "Yes."

After saying that, October went out of the ladies' room as if nothing had happened. She heard rapid footsteps following behind her and did not wait for her.

"Director, so that means..." Yun Xixi swallowed the words she was about to say out loud. 'That means that boss got pregnant out of wedlock?'

Noticing the realization written on Yun Xixi's face, October can only nodded again to confirm, "Yes."

"Director..." Yun Xixi does not know what to say about this. She thought that her boss, who was so perfect and incredibly beautiful, was forced to get into this marriage by that devil-like man. That must be it, right? Right?! The boss does not want to get married with that man but was forced in the premise of the baby?

The baby...

"Follow me to my office."

As soon as October arrived in front of the entrance of her office, she was immediately greeted by the anxious and pale-looking Assistant Yu who was sweating bullets since a while ago. 

"Young madam, are you okay? Do you want me to call a doctor? No, let's go to the hospital immediately." 

October only waved her hand in dismissal. "There's no need for that."

After saying this, she passed by Assistant Yu who was still worried about her health and Yun Xixi was following her closely looking very fl.u.s.tered.

She paused by her door and said, "Tell my husband that their's no need for him to worry. This is just normal sickness during pregnancy. Also, tell him that I was happy with his thoughtfulness."

And the door closed with only Assistant Yu standing there in front of October's door with a dazed and stupid look on his face. It was only after a few moments before he had recovered his bearing. He fished out his phone from his pocket and instantly dialed the number of his boss. It did not take long before the call was connected.

"Speak." Lexus' voice was so cold and deep as if it was a voice from the depths of hell, cruel and bloodthirsty. It was so bone-chilling that Assistant Yu shrinked his neck.

"Yo-young master, the young madam said that she was okay and that there's no need for you to worry." He said carefully, treading slowly in the thin glass of a floor of his boss' patience that with a slight mistep, he would lose his life.

'Not to worry? How can I not?' Lexus frowned. He did not like what October had just said to him. He felt that it was just too indifferent as if it was not a problem at all. 'That silly woman.'

"Also,..." Assistant Yu swallowed a lump in his throat with difficulty before continuing to say, "She appreciated your thoughtfulness in buying her that fruit."

"..." Lexus

Assistant Yu waited for a few more seconds but the person on the other end was still silent. This only made his heart become more restless than it already was.

He could not wait any longer, so he called slowly and softly, "Young master?"

"Nevermind. Just get back here." He said dismissively before ending the call while pinching his nose. He really was helpless with his wife. 

October was someone who grew up too independent. This also made her mold into a cold beauty without much emotion. This was the fortress that she had put up around her to protect herself from the people who would harm her. However, thinking about this made Lexus bitter and sad. 

Lexus wanted to be relied on more. Although she was starting to do that, to him, a doting husband, that was not enough. He wanted to spoil her, pamper her, drown her with his kindness and love. 

'Ah. I really am crazy.' He told himself with a bitter and helpless smile on his face. Still, this depression of his slowly vanished. 

"I'll just make you so happy for the rest of your life, wifey. I'll never let you go."

Both were silent. They just stared at each other. Seeing that Yun Xixi was opening and closing her mouth as if she was about to say something but could not, October finally opened her mouth to break the silence.

"If you have something you wanted to ask, ask. I'll answer it." She calmly said, making sound so trivial to her. "Also, you can dispense courtesy. You are my friend so you can just call me however you like."

Well, it really was not that she planned making her relationship and pregnancy a secret to everyone. Sooner or later, it will be exposed, especially since her belly will start to grow as weeks and months will pass. Just that, she does not know when and how she would disclose this kind of information to the public, especially to the employees in her company.

"Uhm..." Yun Xixi hesitated for a moment before finding her voice to ask, "How...many months are you pregnant, Director? Uh...B-Berry?"

Yun Xixi's face instantly became crimson as she called her boss so informally. It felt weird coming from her mouth but it does not sound so bad.

"That. Straight to the point, huh." October nodded her head. "I'm already three months pregnant." 

"Ah? Thu-three months?!" She exclaimed rather loudly at this. She did not believe it but looking at the serious look on her boss' face, she knew that she had just heard was true.

"When? Hu...how? Wait, no. That's not it. I know how you did it. No, no, no. That's not important eveb though it is. I'm confused. I'm sorry. Just..." Yun Xixi was so fl.u.s.tered and her mind was so messed up she could not think straight and her mouth's just tumbling around.

"Calm down." October felt like she had a headache from the rattled Yun Xixi in front of her. Although it was fun and amusing to watch, right now was not the time because of how awful she felt just awhile ago. 

"First, it was an accident. Second, we were strangers but he pursued me. Third, we got married a few months ago. And yes, that wedding ceremony was just formality to appease both sides of the family." October silently looked at Yun Xixi but finally regretted to say all those stuff in one go because it seemed like Yun Xixi's mind just literally stopped functioning. 

'Was that really too much of an information?' October doesn't know and just chose to wait for Yun Xixi to process those information up. Well, she was not impatient.

She shrugged her shoulders and started to work.
