News about Jiang Mei Ling were all over the internet and local televisions. Even so, she purposedly called Midori for a video chat.

The blushing face of Mei with the baby in her arms came into view when Midori answered the call.

"Midoriiiii! Look! My baby is so cute!" She focused the camera on the baby's face.

Midori chuckled. She had a wide smile. "She looks like Shaoting though!"

"You traitor!" Mei pouted. "How could you do this to me?! She's my baby girl! She definitely looks like me!" She jokingly complained.

Midori laughed heartily.

"So, when are you gonna visit?"

Midori's smile stiffened. "Mei, is there another person in the room?"

Mei looked around to be sure. "Nuh-uh...just me and the baby. What's up?" She knew the change in Midori's tone signals a secret about to be revealed.

"I'm pregnant!" Midori's face lit up to a bright smile.

"For real?! Oh my God!" Mei was literally jumping in joy, waking her baby up.

The sound of the baby crying affected Midori as the whirpool of hormones circulate through her system. She would soon have one for herself.

Mei stopped laughing as she pacified the baby into sleep. Then she placed the baby in the crib and went into the hallway to continue their video call.

"Hey, does Aunty know?"

Midori giggled. "Yes."

Mei gasped. "How come ZFC had yet to announce that their CEO had become sashimi?"

Midori laughed. "If my father wasn't there when we told her, he would've been swimming with the fishes right now."

Mei had a hearty laugh. She took a deep breath before asking, "So, how did your husband react when he heard the news? My Shao froze like a statue when he found out I was pregnant." She chuckled.

Midori giggled. "He was crying at the doctor's clinic. Actually, I was crying too."

"Why did you go straight to the doctor? Didn't you buy a test kit first?"

"Have you heard of HP Inc.?"

"Yeah...they were exposed of marketing poor quality test...oh..."

Midori chuckled. "Dan was so furious when we had inconclusive result with their kit...he handled them in a day."

"Tsk tsk tsk...the indifferent CEO could really lose his cool when it comes to you."

"Well, he was certain he could knock me up." Midori chuckled.

Mei laughed, then paused, after realizing something. "If you're pregnant, why are you still staying in City T? Why didn't your husband take you back here?"

Midori's face turned serious. "It's for my protection and that of the baby. With his fake engagement, things are a bit complicated. At least, my mom's here."

"Oh, right. It's Aunty Aoi's turf. No one will actually lay his hand on you as long as you're there. Hmmm...but it's a pity. You can't torture him." Mei laughed.

"What?!" Midori was laughing with her.

Jiang Mei Ling never laughed like this in public because of her image as an actress. However, when it is between her and her best gal, her laughter is in full blast that it was contagious.

Mei wiped a tear from the corner of her eye. Her face was beet-red from laughing. "When I was pregnant, Shao turned into a slave attending to my every whim. It was satisfying!" She was laughing again.

When Midori saw the man behind her bestfriend, she pursed her lips to stop her laughter.

"Who turned into a slave?" the smooth voice of Lu Shaoting drifted into Mei's ears.

She gasped, then turned around to kiss him. "Shao!" She had a bright smile and she looked like a puppy wagging its tail when its owner had just come home.

"Hi, Shaoting!" Midori waved her hand to the camera.

Lu Shaoting gently smiled and nodded silently to greet back.

Mei hooked her arm in his. "Shao, Midori's pregnant!" Her excited voice had a squeal tail.

"Oh, congratulations."

"Thanks. Did Dan not tell you anything?"

Shaoting snickered. "If your husband even ask me out for a drink, it will already be a miracle."

At Midori's end, a servant called from her door.

"Oh, I gotta go now."

"Alright. Take care!" Mei waved goodbye and even sent flying kisses before ending the call.

The servant led Midori to one of the sitting rooms. As the door opened, her eyes widened in disbelief.

"Vanessa?"
