Cheng Shishi only understood now why Wu Jingjing suddenly changed her attitude back then, stopped opposing her, and started studying seriously.

It turned out to be because of what Bai Yiran said...

During that time, Cheng Shishi stayed up all night thinking of strategies to handle Wu Jingjing. In the end, she was defeated by one sentence from her elder sister.

Cheng Shishi suddenly felt it was ironic for her to stay here as a teacher, her entire face darkening.

"I’m going to get some food." Cheng Shishi stood up, making a large movement, causing the chair to make a loud noise that drew attention from the entire restaurant.

"Aunt Yi Ran, let’s go get some food too. Dad, you stay and watch the bags!"

As she spoke, Wu Jingjing tried to pull Bai Yiran up, her movements somewhat rough and urgent. Wu Chengzu frowned and scolded, "Wu Jingjing, what are you doing? Be careful of her stomach!"

Only then did Wu Jingjing realize Bai Yiran was pregnant, and she quickly gentled her actions, "I’m sorry, Aunt Yi Ran."

"It’s okay..." Bai Yiran stood up with one hand on her lower back. Actually, her body was still light, and she didn’t have any difficulty moving. "Jingjing, what did you just call me?" 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

"Aunt Yi Ran!"

Wasn’t it Sister Yi Ran? Why did it suddenly become Aunt?

When Bai Yiran saw Wu Chengzu and Wu Jingjing, she felt like leaving. She knew Leng Yichen was wary of Wu Chengzu, and if he knew Wu Chengzu was at today’s gathering, he would definitely be upset.

However, the person who invited them today was Cheng Shishi. Bai Yiran had no way to just leave like that, caught in a dilemma momentarily.

Soon, the various delicious foods successfully shifted Wu Jingjing’s attention away from Bai Yiran, making her dart around like a little rabbit near the dining table.

Since Bai Yiran was pregnant, her movements weren’t as agile. She wandered near the Western food counter, seeing what she might want to eat.

"Long time no see." Wu Chengzu’s voice suddenly sounded beside her.

Bai Yiran looked up, not knowing when Wu Chengzu had come to her side. Looking towards the dining table, Cheng Shishi had already returned with food, periodically lowering her head and looking around, unsure of what she was searching for.

"Long time no see." The smile on Bai Yiran’s face was slightly unnatural.

"Are we still friends?"

"Hmm?" Bai Yiran looked at Wu Chengzu, clearly seeing her reflection in his eyes. She didn’t understand why Wu Chengzu suddenly asked such a baffling question.

"I’ve always considered you a friend, Yiran."

Bai Yiran smiled but didn’t speak.

Cheng Shishi sat at a distance, observing Wu Chengzu and Bai Yiran.

The expression on Wu Chengzu’s face was one Cheng Shishi had never seen before; he was genuinely smiling. He would smile at her too, but those smiles were always superficial, lacking any emotion.

Bai Yiran suddenly lost her appetite, haphazardly picking some food and preparing to return to her seat. As she passed the cold buffet area, her foot suddenly slipped, causing her entire body to fall backward.

"Ah!" Bai Yiran screamed. If she indeed fell, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Fortunately, Wu Chengzu was right beside her and quickly caught her, supporting her back with his sturdy arm to steady her.

At that moment, both of them dropped their trays to the ground.

The restaurant staff rushed over, "Are you okay?"

Bai Yiran was still in shock, her entire face turning pale.

Wu Chengzu glanced at the floor. Bai Yiran had just stepped in a puddle of water, which had leaked from the seafood dining table.

"What’s the matter with you? She’s pregnant! Do you know what would happen if she fell?" Wu Chengzu instantly became furious, his aura filled with a menacing hostility, "If anything happens to her child, not even your entire hotel could compensate!"
