Chapter 499 - As big as a basketball.

The audience cheered. 

"I almost forgot that my goddess is still a designer. Congratulations Wanwan!" 

"My Wanwan is still the best!" 

"The main point here is, Wan Jia is Elder Qian's disciple?" 

Wan Jia was the most surprised. "Me? But I was not nominated!" 

Hadn't she only nominated Xia Rou, Lin Ye and Xiao Rong? 

Thinking of something, she looked at Lu Aotian. "Is this your doing?" 

Lu Aotian nodded with a smile. " It would be such a waste if the nation's best designer was not nominated. Your master is waiting. Go ahead and recieve your award." 

Wan Jia felt her eyes itch. Did he just call her the nation's best designer? 

She stood up and went to the stage, making everyone awed. Was that a bump? 

"Wait, Wan Jia is pregnant?" 

"No wonder I have heard no news about her for a while. So it's because she pregnant!" 

"Mr. Lu is very lucky. Will it be a handsome boy this time? The first is a little goddess." 

Wan Jia had not announced the news of her pregnancy. Only the employees of MAX and her close family knew about it. Since her employees had signed a contract of confidentiality, they did not leak the news. 

"You rascal, are you letting my disciple walk on her own?" Elder Qian scolded Lu Aotian though his voice was full of happiness. 

Wan Jia restrained a laugh. Lu Aotian was only in the front row. Would anything go wrong with him there? Also, why wasn't Elder Qian surprised? He looked like he already knew about it and was only expecting to see her. Did he already know about her pregnancy? 

If she knew how exactly Elder Qian had been convinced to attend this ceremony as a guest, she would not be very surprised. 

...

Although she had not intended to be nominated for this award and she was surprised, she was still very happy to recieve it. 

"I am proud of you." Elder Qian said, his pride evident on his face as he gave the trophy to her. 

"Who are Elder Qian's other disciples?" Everyone was curious to know. 

Elder Qian thought that if he did not introduce them today, there would be no other chance. 

The organizers did not mind so he mentioned their names. 

"My other disciples are also capable designers in the industry. Xia Rou and Lin Ye." 

Wan Jia had an interesting expression. Such a coincidence was possible? 

...

"Boss, congratulations." Lin Ye was first to tell her when the ceremony ended. 

"We should hold a banquet to celebrate with our CEO Wan." Xiao Rong seconded. 

"I am of the same opinion as Xiao Rong. Little Wan is the best!" Xia Rou chimed in. 

Wan Jia took one look at her mother and her expression darkened. "Can I speak to my mother for a moment? The two of you can go home first."

Lin Ye went to find Yun Xuan who was speaking to someone on phone.

As soon as they left, Xia Rou took her daughter's hand. "Are you missing your mommy so much that you want to go home with me? If that's the case, I will have a word with my son-in-law and ask for his permission. I..." 

"Hold it. Mom, you and Aotian are acting strange. What exactly is going on?" 

"Little Wan, what are you talking about?" 

Wan Jia was even more unhappy. Why was she putting on an act? "You know what exactly you are talking about. You..." 

Wan Jia felt someone hug her from behind and place his palms on her tummy. "What are you chatting about?"

Lu Aotian gave Xia Rou a reassuring look. He would handle this. 

Wan Jia pulled away from him. "I'm glad you are here too. Can you both explain what the both of you are up to?" 

"We.." 

"Ow!" Wan Jia yelped before he had the chance to explain. 

"Wanwan! What happened?" Lu Aotian had worry written all over her face as he held her in his arms. "Are you feeling unwell? Let's go to hospital." 

A flush crept onto Wan Jia's face as her lips curled upwards. "The baby just kicked me." 

She took the hand of the curious Lu Aotian and placed it on her stomach. 

Lu Aotian paid attention as though afraid he would miss it. 

A short while later, the area beneath his arm moved. The baby had kicked again! 

With a heart full of excitement, he maintained his hand there. The baby moved a little more before it stopped. 

By this time, Wan Jia had forgotten all about Xia Rou and Lu Aotian. Whatever it was, Lu Aotian would tell her when he was ready.

"Mommy, is my little brother about to arrive yet?" Little Jia asked as soon as she saw Wan Jia. 

Lately, that was the first question she would ask whenever she saw her parents. She couldn't wait to see her little sibling. 

Lu Aotian rubbed her small head. "Princess, we still don't  know its gender. It's only six months old. I told you before, you can only have a sibling after nine months." 

Little Jia looked at him and stole a glance at her mother's stomach. She then used her fingers to count. "But mommy's stomach is already as big as a basketball. If there is three months left, how big is it going to be? Like a hot air balloon?" 

Lu Aotian laughed. His daughter was too cute. 

Wan Jia speechlessly rubbed her "already big as a basketball" stomach. It was not that big, alright? It could only be considered almost as big as a soccer ball. Could this father-daughter duo be any meaner? 

Little Jia was still curious. Why did babies make their mothers' stomachs grow so big, only to come out so tiny? She had seen how tiny Small Xixi was when she was still a little baby. 

Would her little brother be that tiny as well?
