Chapter 146 - Your tummy is big

"Have you lost them?" A woman, sitting on the backseat of the car asked. Her face was covered with the shadow in the car. She was tapping a finger on her leg.

"Yes madam." The driver said.

Lu Mello's men followed them earlier after finding out that their boss was being followed.

The woman sighed heavily, "I can't believe that she's pregnant."

It has been so long since she last saw Shi Enxi. She was actually surprised when she saw her in that restaurant earlier.

Aside from being married to Lu Mello, she was now pregnant with his child.

While she was busy in her thoughts, she was snapped out when she heard her phone rang.

She took it from her bag and answered it, "Hello?"

"Mom, it's getting late. Where are you?"

"I'm on my way home, sweetheart."

...

The next day, early that morning, Shi Enxi woke up like she usually did to start her routine exercise although this time, Lu Mello accompanied her all throughout which she greatly appreciated.

"Here." He handed a towel to her.

"How long will you be at work?" Shi Enxi asked as she wiped her sweat with the towel he gave her.

"A couple of hours but don't worry, I'll be back after lunch."

"Can I come?" She asked as she turned her head to him.

He blinked a few times, "What are you going to do there?"

"Wait for you?"

"Won't you be bored?"

"I can just watch some movies or read some books while waiting for you, you know." She didn't have anything to do at home so she might as well waste her time in his office.

"I guess that's fine." He held her waist to support her, "Come, let's clean up."

...

Arriving at the company building, the employees ended up looking at Lu Mello and his wife. It has been months since Shi Enxi visited the company so most of them were surprised to see her pregnant.

They all knew that Shi Enxi has a terrible personality so no one dare tried to meet her eyes.

Shi Enxi waited in her husband's office. She was behaved and didn't make any problem for anyone.

While reading a book, she fell asleep on the couch and this was the scene that Lu Mello reached when he returned to his office after attending a board meeting.

They said that pregnant women liked sleeping so he decided not to disturb her since they have all the time they needed in the afternoon.

He placed his coat to cover her body before he went back to his desk. Before he started reading on some doc.u.ments, he decided to send a message to someone.

After a while, a knock was heard and Lu Mello's secretary entered, bring the food he ordered inside.

It was almost lunchtime so when the food that Lu Mello ordered arrived and was placed on the coffee table, the scent of the food entered Shi Enxi's nostrils and woke her up.

"Oh, you're finally awake." Lu Mello said with a smile. "I've already ordered food for our lunch. We can eat it here." It would save the trouble of walking around for his wife as well.

Shi Enxi felt her stomach grumble and this made her chuckle, "Xiao Xue is hungry."

"Of course he is." He chuckled. Lu Mello reached out to the container of winter melon and opened it before giving it to her.

...

Shi Enxi and Lu Mello were looking at the kid's item in the department store. From baby cribs to clothes to toys to children's picture books.

While they were in the toys section, Shi Enxi saw a familiar face, it was none other than When Zhou, the child actor. He was looking at some toy car while he was being followed behind by his bodyguard.

Wen Zhou was surprised to see Shi Enxi there when he saw her. Of course, he knew who she was since she was with Fan Xiao Yao during the audition.

"Is Yaoyao-jijie with you?" This was the first question that the child asked when he approached her.

Shi Enxi raised a brow at his rudeness. He didn't even greet her first when he saw her.

"I wonder. Can you see her standing beside me?"

Wen Zhou pouted, "I'm not blind."

"I never said you are." She huffed.

"Hon, have you decided on what to buy?" Lu Mello asked as he approached his wife from behind. 

Shi Enxi pointed at the whole aisle of socks for babies. "I want all of these."

Lu Mello: "..."

When Zhou's eyes landed on Shi Enxi's baby bump, "You're tummy is big."

"Yes, I just ate a whole baby that's why it's big."

The child looked at her in horror, believing her words.

Lu Mello turned to the child his wife was talking to. His eyes widened in surprise when he saw him there. "You..."

"Mello, meet Wen Zhou, a big fan of Xiao Yao." Shi Enxi introduced to which the child ended up blushing shyly.

He didn't deny that he was a fan. He was getting along so much with Fan Xiao Yao and was liking her to the point where he became her fan.

"Jijie1 ... Do you know what's Yaoyao-jijie's favorite food?" The boy shyly asked.

Shi Enxi scoffed. And now he's acting all cute just to have his way on her? Did he think that she's the type of person who can be easily deceived by his cuteness?

"She likes carrots. Just give her anything with that flavor."

"Really?" Wen Zhou's eyes sparkled in delight which made him look adorable in Shi Enxi's eyes.

"If you're planning on stealing her heart, you have to work hard." She patted his head, "She's already taken."

Wen Zhou's smile became stiff. "Yaoyao-jijie... is taken? B-But she said that she will wait for me!"

"Really?"

He nodded his head frantically, "Yes!"

While Shi Enxi was teasing the little boy, Lu Mello was quietly looking at their interactions.

If Wen Zhou didn't show up, he might have forgotten something important that happened in his past and how Wen Zhou is connected to Shi Enxi. Big siste
