Ye Jiuliang heard this and curved his lips into a smile, "Li Mochan is really loaded."

He raised his eyebrows, humorously saying, "Just enough to keep you."

"Why do I feel like that was an insult?" Ye Jiuliang tilted his body and leaned on him, "Are you implying that I’m a spendthrift?"

Bright as a button, Li Mochan reached out and lightly flicked her nose, "No worries, our family can afford to let you spend for a lifetime."

Ye Jiuliang made a tsk sound and pulled on his arm as they walked inside.

When they arrived at Xiang Tian and Baona’s new home and saw the courtyard filled with sports cars, Ye Jiuliang couldn’t help but want to laugh.

It seems like everyone was in sync today, all gathered.

Stepping up the stairs, Ye Jiuliang reached out to press the doorbell.

Not after a short wait, the door opened.

"Boss."

The crisp voice carried a hint of surprise, and the decibel level inevitably rose.

Ye Jiuliang hooked her lips, her gaze drawn to the slightly protruding belly, "Baona, it looks like you’ve missed telling me some good news."

Baona’s cheeks turned a little red, and she raised her hand to touch her nose, somewhat shyly.

"Boss, don’t tease me."

The people inside heard the noise and swarmed out.

"Boss."

"Boss, what brings you here?"

"Boss, why didn’t you let us know you were coming? We would have picked you up."

The noisy voices were overlapping, and Ye Jiuliang had no chance to interject a word.

Xiang Tian noticed Li Mochan had arrived too and immediately switched to being serious, "Sister-in-law is good."

As the words were spoken, the surroundings instantly fell silent.

The others, looking at Li Mochan, had their excited smiles suddenly turn restrained, their hands not knowing where to rest.

The voice was surprisingly uniform, "Sister-in-law is good."

Li Mochan’s cold brows knitted slightly, somewhat dissatisfied with the title.

"Heh." Ye Jiuliang burst into laughter, not bad, not bad, this title suited her just fine.

"Don’t just stand around here, let the boss in first and then we can chat," Baona tried to ease the weird atmosphere.

The crowd parted, clearing a path.

Ye Jiuliang, never one to be reserved, walked into the house holding Li Mochan’s hand.

"Boss, what would you like to drink?" Xiang Tian asked as he moved towards the kitchen.

Sitting on the sofa, Ye Jiuliang reached for a bottle of mineral water, "No need to fuss, water is fine for us."

"Boss, when did you arrive?" Baona asked, supporting her belly as she slowly sat down.

With the baby, her hurried ways also became moderated.

Ye Jiuliang took a sip of water, "Last night."

"Boss, that’s really not cool, you got married and didn’t give us wedding candies," Lin Yan said with a hint of grievance.

Gao Yang chimed in, "Exactly, boss, what about the promised wedding candies?"

"What’s the rush?" Ye Jiuliang glanced at them with her light eyes, her red lips slightly curved, "You’ll naturally get them at the wedding. There will be plenty of wedding candies and drinks for you, just make sure to have your gifts ready for me."

When the topic of gift money came up, the group of money-lovers reflexively covered their pockets.

Once again showcasing their team spirit, "Boss, we’re broke."

Xiang Tian rolled his eyes, these money-grubbers.

Just now they were crying poor to him, now they were crying poor to the boss again.

"Driving a sports car while being broke?" Ye Jiuliang sneered, striking at the heart of the matter.

To protect his own wallet, Lin Yan blurted out a lie, "Boss, we rented it."

Ye Jiuliang grabbed a cushion and threw it at him, "Stop pretending, those of you who didn’t bring your share of the gift money are in for a beating."

Catching the cushion, Lin Yan’s eyes crinkled with laughter, "Boss, you’re so violent, be careful not to scare your sister-in-law away."

Ye Jiuliang tilted her head and looked at the person beside her, "Would I?"

"No," Li Mochan curved his lips slightly, his deep and magnetic voice filled with indulgence.

The others elongated their voices and began to tease.

Ye Jiuliang gave them a sidelong glance, "That’s just jealousy."

Baona laughed along, "Boss, shall we go upstairs for a chat?"

Ye Jiuliang raised an eyebrow and stood up, "Let’s go."

She had just taken a step when she suddenly remembered something and looked at Lin Yan and the others with a mischievous smile, "Your sister-in-law is pretty good at playing games; you guys might want to challenge her."

At her words, Lin Yan and the rest exchanged looks, feeling somewhat cowardly when their gaze shifted to Li Mochan.

Upon reaching the upstairs, Baona pushed open the bedroom door, "Boss, come in and have a seat."

Ye Jiuliang followed her in and glanced around, the corners of her lips curving up, "Having a wedding really is different, huh? The room’s decorated with red roses."

At this, Baona blushed, "Boss, you’re never serious."

Sitting on the sofa, Ye Jiuliang propped her head up with one hand and curiously asked, "What does it feel like to have a baby?"

After thinking for a moment, Baona smiled sweetly, "It’s magical and very joyful. At first, I didn’t even realize I was pregnant. I slipped accidentally when I was at Xiang Tian’s celebration feast, but fortunately, there was no harm done and the baby was fine."

Ye Jiuliang listened quietly, and suddenly her tone shifted, "Boss, you’ve been married for so long, when are you planning to have a baby?"

Confronted with her teasing smile, Ye Jiuliang remained calm, "We’re working on it."

"Boss, you’d better be more careful, don’t be like me and not know you’re pregnant, it’d be bad if you accidentally hurt the baby," Baona said softly.

Ye Jiuliang’s gaze grew more intense, Baona’s words echoing in her ears.

Not aware of being pregnant?

Her period didn’t come last month, could it be...

Ye Jiuliang reached for her own wrist, holding her breath and focusing.

Unsure of Ye Jiuliang’s actions, Baona was completely baffled, "Boss, what’s wrong?"

Ye Jiuliang pressed her lips tightly together, her face gradually turning peculiar, and if one looked closely, the tips of her fingers pressing on her pulse were trembling imperceptibly.

So much had happened last month, she had no time to consider anything else, plus her appetite and rest had all been fine with no abnormalities; she hadn’t even considered the possibility of pregnancy.

What’s worse, she’d been out playing a lot recently, even drinking alcohol, without feeling the slightest discomfort.

If not for Baona’s words just now, she might not have even thought of the possibility.

The child that Li Mochan had been longing for had arrived, joining their lives without their notice.

Ye Jiuliang’s nose tinged with acidity as uncontainable joy roared within her.

Looking at her silent demeanor, Baona became worried, her voice lowered, "Boss, what’s wrong, don’t scare me."

Ye Jiuliang’s lips parted slightly, her voice hoarse, "Baona."

"Hm?"

"Pinch me."

Baona doubted her own ears, "What?"

Ye Jiuliang held out her arm in front of her, repeating, "Pinch me."

"Boss, I get scared easily, don’t frighten me," Baona said with a trembling voice, seeing Ye Jiuliang’s dazed expression for the first time.

"Well, I’ll go call your sister-in-law over."

Just as she was about to get up, Ye Jiuliang suddenly grabbed her, "Don’t go."
