Eternal Love: The Billionaire's Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 446 - 439: Reversal

Luna, disregarding the occasion, blurted out the words, turning the previously harmonious atmosphere awkward once again.

Leng Liewei’s eyebrows furrowed again after hearing Luna’s words, which had originally relaxed.

His daughter-in-law is pregnant, and he, as the father-in-law, is completely unaware, and the news is brought to him through others. Isn’t this clearly telling outsiders that he, Leng Liewei, is not valued by Leng Yichen and his wife, to the extent that he isn’t informed of such a major event as a pregnancy?

Luna observed Leng Liewei’s face grow sullen once more, her eyes flickering towards Bai Yiran. No matter what, she couldn’t let Bai Yiran find favor with Leng Liewei; otherwise, the chances of her niece marrying into the family would diminish.

Bai Yiran raised her eyebrows slightly; truly, it never ends, this Luna is truly annoying! A fierce glint shimmered in her clear eyes, yet she maintained a smile on her face.

"Dad, it’s not that I didn’t want to inform you about this," Bai Yiran’s voice was soft and pleasant to hear, "Your birthday is coming up in a few days, and I was originally planning to tell you then, to surprise you. I know about your relationship with Leng Yichen, but after all, that’s our own family matter. Behind closed doors, we’re always a family; where’s there room for so much overnight grudges? It’s really unnecessary to bring it out in the open." As she spoke, Bai Yiran sighed, "Now it seems there won’t be any surprise, but instead I’ll receive complaints."

After Bai Yiran finished speaking, Luna’s face tightened slightly. Anyone could hear that Bai Yiran’s words were meant to criticize Luna for not considering the occasion.

Sure enough, after hearing Bai Yiran’s words, Leng Liewei glared at Luna with disgust, the warning and aversion in his gaze enough to make Luna tremble.

Luna bit her lip resentfully, glaring venomously at Bai Yiran, yet she dared not say anything further.

Bai Yiran’s words were skillfully spoken; even if the relationship between Leng Liewei and Leng Yichen wasn’t good, these were their own family matters. Even if the father and son were at odds, the surname outside was still Leng, and it truly wasn’t necessary to disgrace themselves openly.

A well-rehearsed meal turned into a family drama because of Luna’s outburst.

"Let’s toast to the President’s wife being pregnant! Everyone, let’s toast to her!" The wife of one of the shareholders, seeing the awkward atmosphere, immediately stood up and raised her glass to ease the tension, "Mrs., you’re pregnant, so you don’t have to drink. We’ll toast you."

Although the words were spoken this way, Bai Yiran couldn’t be unaware; she couldn’t drink alcohol, but she could replace it with water.

As soon as the glasses were put down, the door to the private room opened again, and a woman with an alluring figure walked in, her voice crisp and soft, "I’m late, who was it that said they’re pregnant?"

Upon hearing the voice, Luna’s body trembled, her eyes filled with shock as she looked at the woman standing at the door of the private room.

Qi Hui!

No one present expected to see Qi Hui here, except the Leng Family, who knew that Qi Hui was now with Leng Liewei, living in the Leng Family’s house every day. Everyone else still thought of Qi Hui as Huamei International’s former marketing manager and remembered the explosive scandal from the previous wine reception.

Standing at the door, Qi Hui glanced around the room, finally fixating her gaze on the calm Bai Yiran. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Bai Yiran discreetly lifted her eyes, glanced briefly at Qi Hui, then looked away, a faint smile lingering at the corner of her mouth.

Luna, weren’t you trying to disgust me? Now it’s your turn to enjoy yourself.
