Eternal Love: The Billionaire's Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 457 - 450: Miraculous
As Bai Yiran entered the later months of her pregnancy, her morning sickness symptoms gradually subsided. She became less picky about food, eating whatever Sister Liu made, and she was constantly hungry, always appearing not fully satisfied.
By nearly five months, her belly was noticeably large, making it inconvenient to go out and meet clients. The workload in the sales department was heavy, and the pressure every day was immense. Once Bai Yiran’s belly began to show, Leng Yichen no longer allowed her to work.
This time, Leng Yichen was firm, even exerting pressure on Yao Zhiqing.
In the end, Bai Yiran compromised with Leng Yichen. She didn’t want to disrupt Yao Zhiqing’s whole company because of her situation.
Bai Yiran quickly handed over her duties to Brother Zhou. Initially, she planned to resign, but Yao Zhiqing said she would keep her position open, and she could return anytime after having the baby.
Yao Zhiqing’s attitude wasn’t unexpected for Bai Yiran. As long as Bai Yiran was an employee at her company, Leng Yichen would continue to take care of her business.
Besides, Bai Yiran’s performance and work capability were indeed excellent, leaving no reason to lose such talent for nothing.
Thus, Bai Yiran became completely free, turning into a full-fledged couch potato. It seemed like there wasn’t anything meaningful to do in a day except eating.
Unlike her, Lou Jing, also pregnant, was much more at ease. Her café continued operating normally, though she hired a few new waitstaff. Generally, she just stayed at the cashier, leaving the running around to the staff.
In her free time, Lou Jing practiced prenatal yoga. Noticing that Bai Yiran didn’t exercise much but ate a lot, causing her to gain weight rapidly, Lou Jing invited her to join her yoga classes.
Bai Yiran was intrigued, and they arranged for her to join Lou Jing in the next lesson.
After dinner, Leng Yichen went to the study to handle unfinished work from the day. Since Bai Yiran got pregnant, Leng Yichen postponed everything he could, ensuring he got home early to have dinner with Bai Yiran and help her bathe.
Bai Yiran accompanied Xiao Lang in the living room, watching cartoons. Leng Yichen often remarked that Bai Yiran was just a big kid, more focused on the cartoons than Xiao Lang, her emotions entirely tied to the plot, and would occasionally discuss the characters with Xiao Lang — utterly childish.
However, Bai Yiran didn’t feel childish. She enjoyed cartoons more than anything else because they didn’t require thinking — it was her way of decompressing, eventually becoming a habit.
In the bedroom, after her bath, Bai Yiran sat on the bed and mentioned her plan to attend yoga classes with Lou Jing.
"No," Leng Yichen said, lifting the duvet and sitting next to her.
"Why not?" Bai Yiran’s pretty brows knitted slightly. "It’s prenatal yoga; it’s good for childbirth and getting back in shape."
Bai Yiran looked down at her belly, pinched her arm, and said, "I’ve gained weight during this time. If I don’t exercise, I’ll turn into a ball."
The truth was, Bai Yiran felt stuck at home and wanted to find something to do.
In the end, Leng Yichen agreed to her request. He knew she wanted something to occupy her time. Since Li Sha would be accompanying her, and he would have someone follow discreetly; her safety shouldn’t be an issue.
Leng Yichen affectionately rubbed her now chubbier cheeks. "Actually, a bit of fat suits you. It’s more pleasant to the touch."
Mmm, indeed, it was more pleasant to the touch.
Bai Yiran hesitated, reaching out to swat away Leng Yichen’s hand. Instead, she suddenly froze, her hands frantically moving to her belly, her eyes wide and mouth agape, her expression turning odd.
"Girl, what’s wrong with you?"
