Chapter 378 - News from the stomach

"Shaoting, wait."

Lu Shaoting stopped what he was doing and looked at her. Seeing that she was getting uncomfortable, he untied her hands and hugged her. Though he wondered, why was it that she looked like she had been reminded of something unpleasant? He didn't ask her. He only kissed her forehead and coaxed her, holding her in his arms like a delicate treasure. "I'm sorry."

"Don't blame yourself. I'm alright."

Just like that, he let her fall asleep in her arms, but he had a manly problem to solve.

The so called good thing that happened in Lu Enterprises was Wan Jia's qualification to start her brand. It was still far from the time she was given but Lu Aotian decided to make her stop her test project. If not, there would be actual competition between two hotels which were both under Lu Enterprises. Although Lu Enterprises had many subsidiary hotels, they were all managed by Lu Shaoting and he had them balanced perfectly. After discussing with his wife and brother, he put Lu Shaoting in charge of Platinum Grand Hotel.

Following this, the insider news about Wan Jia's new brand began to spread under Lu Aotian's orders. However, he had it spread in a restrained manner so it didn't explode into the popular searches. Therefore, most people thought of it as a rumor. After all, any piece of news from Lu Enterprises had always got into the top search rankings within one or two hours.

"What will you name your brand?" Lu Aotian asked her while holding her in his arms.

A flush crept onto her cheeks as she looked at him bashfully. "I already came up with a name. I'll name it MAX."

Judging by her smile and the twinkle in her eyes when she answered him, he knew that it was a heartfelt pseudonym. He could accurately guess the meaning of the M and A. However, what was that X all about? X as in her mother's surname, Xia?

Wan Jia held his waist and buried her head in his warm chest. That was where she felt safest in the world. "When we have a son, I want to name him Xianyu.

Lu Aotian couldn't help chuckling as he tousled her hair. "How can you be so sure that we will definitely have a son?"

"I know we will. Who is to say, perhaps I have one in my belly right now?" She even stroked her stomach as though there was really a little one inside.

Lu Aotian laughed. She was thinking too much. She seemed to have forgotten that her period had just passed a day ago. She was definitely not pregnant. But he didn't want to shatter her fantasy so he kept his mouth shut.

"Aotian, our son will be the most handsome little boy and when he grows up, the most charming man in the world."

Lu Aotian: "Mmh."

Although answer was as indulgent as ever, that was not the same thing going on in his heart. He was actually lamenting: He is not here yet but he is already being a threat to my love. If he is to become the most handsome man, what about me? Can we not have a son?

…

That evening, Wan Jia went to the Lin residence for dinner after being persuaded by her mother. It took a lot of pacification and seduction to get permission from Lu Aotian. She was not sure why, but she felt that he was unwilling to let her out of his sight for a single second. Was there something she didn't know?

As soon as she was home, Xia Rou was the first to complain. "This child, have you forgotten that mommy exists? You have literally shoved me aside these days. I don't even get to see my granddaughter anymore."

Wan Jia stopped her complaints with a hug. "Mom, I have been so busy these past few days. I haven't forgotten about you." How could she say that she had been grounded?

Xia Rou held her hand and inspected it. "Luckily you haven't lost weight. If you had lost even half a pound, I would charge into Lu Enterprises and beat Lu Aotian up."

Her look was inexplicably serious, as though she would really do it. Wan Jia found it comical to picture the scene.

"How is my baby darling? Why didn't she come along?"

Wan Jia felt wronged. You only care about your granddaughter. "She's at the old Lu residence. Her grandfather is not very busy so she went over to play for a while."

"I see. I made your favorite tiramisu. Do you want to try them? You can take some with you later, for my baby darling."

Lin Lihua, at the side, finally spoke up. "I'm saying, why did you call me here? You haven't taken a single glance at me."

Xia Rou gave her a sideways glance. "What's there to look at? Tell me when there's news from your stomach. Then perhaps there will be something to look at."

Lin Lihua felt extremely wronged and rushed to her father who was reading a business magazine on the sofa. "Mr. Lin, look what your wife as done. Your daughter's delicate heart has been shattered mercilessly by her."

Xia Rou laughed at her daughter's antics. "Are you still a little girl going to complain to your daddy?"

Lin Lihua didn't spare her a glance. "Let dad judge who is right. I'm telling you, you will not get away with this."

The Lin Zhou they were waiting for finally spoke. "Delicate heart? Please. My wife is right. We are waiting for news from your stomach."  

"Are you kidding me? I'm not even married yet. Why don't you say the same about Wanwan?" Right after they stopped nagging her to get married, they started nagging about grandchildren.

Xia Rou: "Your sister has a daughter. How can you compare to her?"

Your good friend, Lin Lihua, has just received a merciless blow.
