Chapter 317: Chapter 317
Li Si and Leng Mochen happily came out of the hospital and went straight to the baby store.
Although they didn’t know the gender yet, both of them were delighted, picking up little bottles, toys, and small clothes and couldn’t put them down.
In no time, they had picked out a big pile of stuff, both for a boy and a girl.
According to Leng Mochen, the plan is, "Prepare with a red heart and both hands!" If it’s twins, that would be even more perfect.
Li Si couldn’t help but roll her eyes mentally, thinking how could all good things come to them ?
Before they could leave the large baby store, Leng Mochen received a call from Long Wu.
"Now have time to take my call?" Leng Mochen didn’t forget what he said to Li Si last night.
"Leng Er, where are you enjoying yourself? Your voice sounds like you’re in a good mood!" Long Wu teased, ignoring him.
Leng Mochen didn’t hide it either: "Sisi’s pregnant, we’re in a baby store!"
Suddenly, there was silence on Long Wu’s end, and after a while, he said: "That’s great news, let’s call Heizi and Xu Er, Shasha, and the others for a gathering at my place! We’ll talk when we meet!" Newest update provided by n͟o͟v͟e͟l͟f͟i͟r͟e͟.net
Before Leng Mochen could say anything else, the call was hung up.
Leng Mochen glanced at Li Si beside him, "Maybe I said something wrong!"
"About the baby?" Li Si guessed instantly.
"Yeah! Long Wu just said to have a gathering at his place, so should we finish buying these first?"
"Okay!" Li Si glared at him speechlessly, wondering who had just gone into shopping frenzy mode. If the store clerk hadn’t kindly pointed out that some things are not usable by newborns, she would totally believe he might actually try to cart the entire store home.
Long Wu’s restaurant.
Leng Mochen and Li Si, Long Wu and Su Meng, Xu Er and Bai Shasha, plus the singleton classmate Heizi.
The group drank heartily at the celebration feast, and after Heizi talked about the details of Qian Rouxuan’s case, he mused, feeling lonely seeing everyone paired up.
"Hey, I mean, you all have beauties beside you, doesn’t anyone think of me?"
Long Wu teased in good spirits: "You, a police elite, still need to find your sense of presence here? I heard that a policewoman has been chasing you for a long time. Giving her a chance is also giving yourself a chance, isn’t it?"
Thinking of that girl, Heizi’s dark face flushed slightly, fortunately hidden by his natural complexion.
"How do I give a chance? Now that Leng Er and Sisi have a child, at least Sisi can manage between them, right? You all know, my job is such that I can be busy day and night, no set hours for work or rest. If I find someone in the same line, should we have kids after marriage? Who will take care of them?"
Everyone understood it a bit, yeah, if it’s one person it’s easy to say, but when two people come together to form a family.
If both are that busy, how does a family stand a chance? Everyone chimed in with suggestions, and Xu Er, being more extreme, suggested Heizi find a girlfriend but not get married.
Meanwhile, Li Si noticed that when Su Meng heard she was pregnant, her gaze darkened.
Su Meng lowered her head, lost in thought, feeling so moved that her brain stopped functioning, overlooking this issue! The child!
She secretly touched her abdomen, perhaps she would never be able to have children again.
Long Wu is still young, even if he doesn’t mind, does his family? Can his mother not care, hearing from Sisi all those things Leng Mochen’s mom did, she also felt that in front of a mother-in-law, a daughter-in-law really ranks behind the son, grandson, and even the sister-in-law.
So what else could she rely on? Only Long Wu’s love for her?
But how long can this love last?
A year, two years, or even five, but what about ten years later? Who can guarantee that this love won’t change, she didn’t even have that confidence for herself, let alone Long Wu.
Li Si held her somewhat cold hand, whispering in her ear: "Meng Meng, I believe you’ll be okay and one day will have a chubby baby!"
She said this to find a chance to ease her up a bit, having sensed that Su Meng had truly forgiven Brother Wu after the incident. But the barrier still existed, and this would require them to gradually eliminate it.
And now, Su Meng’s biggest heartache was her inability to have children, so Li Si also wanted to take the chance to help her out.
Su Meng quickly pushed her away, her face red as she lightly tapped her nose, whispering back: "Such nonsense!"
Li Si looked at her with a teasing smile: "Slip of the tongue! Not just about having babies, Brother Wu needs to put in some effort too!"
Su Meng’s face turned beet red; what had come over Sisi? There was a table full of people, surely someone with good ears could overhear.
Just then, Long Wu with sharp ears happened to catch it, seeing his heart-throb in that shy but willing state, he felt antsy as a cat scratching, wondering when he could put in that effort. May his good days come soon, little Long Wu is too suffocated...
Su Meng glared at Li Si: "Sisi, you’ve turned bad!"
Bai Shasha hurriedly chimed in for support: "Finally found a comrade in the trenches! Si, we have to learn good! Even if not for others, you have to learn for my godson!"
This Sisi was truly different now, her teasing with Xu Er left no room, sometimes she was stumped by her.
The little lass, who knew who she learned it from and became so snappy.
Li Si intentionally whispered in her ear: "Who said the baby in my belly is your godson? It might be a girl! And how am I not behaving? When I meet your Mrs. Bai, I have to tell her that you have found someone special!"
"Hey, hey, don’t say anything yet, I’m not sure where things stand with him? Good Sisi, we’re best friends, aren’t we?" Bai Shasha quietly pleaded, not wanting to tell her mom about Xu Er too early.
Because she had not fully accepted him yet, it was too soon to say anything now.
Moreover, thinking of the dramatic gossip opportunity missed yesterday, since Xu Er didn’t think to take her to witness it, she decided her trial period had to be indefinitely extended.
"Fine! Seeing as you plea so earnestly, I’ll give you some face!" Li Si said with a mischievous eye roll, just now Bai Shasha was complaining she didn’t take her to watch the exciting drama.
However, she suggested giving her two big movies later to let her showcase her skills. Bai Shasha immediately lit up spirited as if injected with excitement.
The eager sparkle in her eyes made Li Si feel a chill up her spine.
Bai Shasha thought of the chance to acquire firsthand information soon, beaming with a smile, "Goddaughter would be even better, I’ll braid her hair every day!"
"With braids all over?" Li Si laughed and nudged her, thinking she doesn’t know her Bai Shasha well enough, she’d need utmost patience to still braid after a while!
"You’re ruthless!" Bai Shasha stuck out her tongue, making Xu Er beside her feel how cute she was, finding her more likable the more he spent time with her.
But why did she keep glaring at him? It seemed he hadn’t done anything wrong, right?
Poor Xu Er still didn’t know he was being blamed.
Just then, Bai Shasha’s phone on the table buzzed, it was a text message.
After reading it, Bai Shasha’s expression subtly changed, and Li Si quickly used her eyes to ask what was wrong.
Bai Shasha simply handed the phone to Li Si silently, who picked it up and saw the sender was Jia Yuejing, with just one line, ’Your ex-boyfriend is interviewing at my company! Shasha, should I hire him or not?’
Li Si marveled at how small the world was, meeting acquaintances just around the corner. She whispered to Bai Shasha, "What do you think?"
"That’s his business, it has nothing to do with me!" Bai Shasha’s eyes flickered with disappointment; she didn’t expect him to interview at Jia Yuejing’s company. Since the breakup was complete, she wouldn’t remain entangled.
Li Si directly replied for her: "Use him if you want, don’t if you don’t!"
After putting down the phone, everyone quieted down looking at her, and Li Si cheekily smiled: "Just a text message, come on, you guys drink and I’ll have a drink! To our milestone victory! Cheers!"
The pregnant woman has the final say! Whatever she says goes!
On the other end, Jia Yuejing read the text message, feeling amused, looking at the waiting HR manager, "Let’s try him for three months first! If it works out, keep him; if it doesn’t, let him go!"
"Okay!" The HR manager replied respectfully.
Jia Yuejing waved them off, picking up Cao Yufan’s resume again, looking at the youthful photograph, he curled his lips, thinking how weirdly connected they were! (To be continued.
