Exclusive Love: Pampered by the Scheming Tycoon-Chapter 512 - 493: The Old Lady Finds Out About the Pregnancy

Lin Banxia stood there with an expression of guilt, listening to Mrs. Huo’s lecture. But Mrs. Huo didn’t scold her harshly; after saying a few words, she asked the servant to prepare breakfast and bring it over to her.

"Yan Ting has a celebration party tonight. Did he ask you to go?" Mrs. Huo suddenly asked.

"Yes, he asked me to attend with him!" Lin Banxia was eating breakfast when a sudden wave of nausea hit her. She covered her mouth and quickly rushed outside, bending down to throw up.

Mrs. Huo followed her out briskly, worry evident on her face. "What’s wrong? Are you sick?"

"Grandma, I..." Lin Banxia wanted to lie to her, but she didn’t dare to.

Mrs. Huo disliked being lied to, and it showed on her face.

"Could it be... you’re pregnant?" Mrs. Huo, having been through her own experiences, instantly guessed when she saw how pale Lin Banxia looked after vomiting. She beamed with joy as she spoke.

Lin Banxia, knowing she couldn’t hide it any longer, could only nod. "Yes, Grandma, I’m pregnant."

"Really? That’s wonderful news! Banxia, why didn’t you tell me sooner?" Mrs. Huo was overjoyed, her spirits instantly lifting.

Lin Banxia quickly explained, "Grandma, I only just found out recently. I thought I’d wait until the baby was more stable before telling you."

"Look at you—your reaction is so obvious. Do you think you could hide it from me?" Mrs. Huo wasn’t angry; instead, her face was brimming with happiness. She quickly added, "I need to have the kitchen prepare proper meals for you. A pregnant woman needs to eat well and maintain a balanced diet."

"Thank you, Grandma!" Lin Banxia suddenly felt a surge of affection for this elderly woman.

Mrs. Huo glanced at Lin Banxia and found herself warming up to her.

"I didn’t notice before, but you’re actually quite beautiful. No wonder my grandson is so devoted to you." Mrs. Huo, in her good mood, had become much more pleasant and even began complimenting Lin Banxia.

Lin Banxia couldn’t help but laugh. Had Mrs. Huo thought she was very ugly before?

At lunchtime, Lin Banxia’s meal was indeed much more lavish.

By around five in the afternoon, Yan Ting returned home. As he walked in, he saw Lin Banxia sitting on the sofa, looking a little bored. Despite the slight fatigue on his handsome face, it quickly softened into a smile.

"If you’re bored, you can watch a movie. I have a theater room on the third floor," Yan Ting said as he walked lightly toward her.

Lin Banxia stood up and smiled wryly. "I felt nauseous while eating breakfast today, and your grandma already knows I’m pregnant."

"It’s good she knows. That way, she’ll treat you better in the future! She must be very happy, right?" Yan Ting had never intended to keep it a secret from his grandmother.

"Yes, she seems very happy." Lin Banxia smiled softly.

"Come on, I’ll take you to try on your dress!" Yan Ting took her small hand in his large one and led her outside.

"Where are we going?" Lin Banxia asked curiously.

"You’ll find out when we get there!"

They arrived at a high-end custom dress store. Yan Ting had someone bring over an exquisitely beautiful evening gown and placed it in front of her. "Go try it on!"

Lin Banxia obediently went to try it on, but she couldn’t reach the zipper on the back. A large hand came to her aid.

"You look stunning!" Yan Ting’s gaze was glued to her, reluctant to look away.

The pure white lace evening gown complemented Lin Banxia’s naturally fair complexion, making her glow with radiance and brilliance.

She looked like a sacred and pure elf, clean and breathtakingly beautiful.

Lin Banxia stared at her transformed reflection in the mirror. It was true—clothes really do make the person.
