After office hours were over, Lu Lijun received a call from his sister.

"I heard all of you are meeting tonight at the pub?" Lu Lian asked, her voice anything but calm.

"Yes, brother Feng is here, so before he returns, he plans to..."

"I am coming as well," she interrupted him.

"Sister Lian, is it alright for you to..."

"I am pregnant, not sick," her voice raised. "Rusheng doesn’t want me to go there, but I am coming. I don’t want to argue with anyone now."

Lu Lijun realized she had already argued with Ming Rusheng. "Well, we can change the place. Instead of a pub, we all can meet somewhere nice, which would be more comfortable for you. Away from noise, smoke, and drinks."

"Hmm, that’s more like it," she calmed down. "Just a few days and I feel sick at home. I want to go out, meet you all, and have some fun. Nice talk, some gossip maybe. It’s like this pregnancy is creating a prison around me."

"I understand," Lu Lijun tried to coax his enraged sister. Surely hormones were making her cranky. "Let me talk to your husband."

"Yes, but make sure to bring Yuyan as well."

"I will."

Lu Lian passed the mobile to Ming Rusheng, and he replied on the call with, "Hmm?" His voice seemed tired, as if the argument between him and Lian had drained him. He could only bear her outrage when he said one line: "Places like pubs are not good for you." And then he called for his own misery.

"Having it bad, brother-in-law?" Lu Lijun teased.

"I will wait for your turn when I will say the same," Ming Rusheng countered.

"You could have suggested what I just did."

"I would have, but only if she could give me a chance to speak," Ming Rusheng sighed.

"Are you complaining about me?" came Lian’s angry voice.

"Not at all, darling. It was all my fault," Ming Rusheng replied to her.

Seeing Ming Rusheng so submissive to his sister, Lu Lijun felt like laughing. His sister could really be dangerous when angry, but now with hormones messing with her, he could only pity Ming Rusheng.

He hung up the call, messaged the new location to everyone, and changed plans. In the evening, everyone arrived at one of the luxury hotels where a grand private room was booked to accommodate many of them. It had a massive lounge area, a fun activity section, and a dining area. It even had a beautiful view of the city through the massive glass walls and the grand balcony.

Everyone had already arrived: the Lu brothers with Jiang Yuyan, An Tian, Jake, Noah, the Wen couple, Xiao Min, and Lu Bao as well.

The moment Lu Lian entered the private room, she saw everyone present and admired the grand room with a beautiful view. "That’s more like it. Now I can breathe fresh air," she said and looked at Lu Lijun, "You sure know what I like."

"It was your husband’s suggestion," Lu Lijun replied, not willing to take the credit for someone else’s work.

She turned to Ming Rusheng, "Is it?"

"Did it make you feel better?" he asked.

"Of course," she said, wrapping her hands around his neck and pecking him on the lips, his

Hands instinctively moving to hold her. "You are, as always, so considerate."

Lu Bao coughed, "You two are making me miss my husband now. Stop already."

"Who told you not to bring your husband then?" Lu Lian looked at her.

"Who said I am not here?" A man entered the door and walked towards Lu Bao, who was clearly happy to see him. She hurried towards him, "Weren’t you on a business trip?"

"I returned early. Saw your brother’s message and hurried here," he replied while hugging her.

"I missed you," Lu Bao snuggled against his chest.

"Now who is showing off?" Lu Lian commented.

"I have not seen him for one week. It’s fine if I cling to him," Lu Bao replied, not letting her husband go.

"I can book a room for you two right away," Lu Lian teased.

"No need. For now, let’s have some fun together," Lu Bao said, guiding Mu Xichen to sit with her.

"Only the decent couple here seems to be our President Lu and his wife. How quietly they are sitting, no show-off," An Tian commented.

Lu Lian walked towards the sofa. "They are used to doing all indecent acts behind the -curtains."

Jiang Yuyan narrowed her eyes at Lu Lian, who replied, "I am pregnant now. I know you can’t beat me even if I anger you. I’m telling you, I am going to take advantage of my pregnancy."

"I will keep an account and will return it all once you deliver the baby," Jiang Yuyan spoke. "This woman is scary," Lu Lian mumbled and sat in her place. "Where is our doctor and his heart patient?"

"They are busy taking care of each other’s hearts, or maybe more," Wen Zac chuckled. "They won’t be coming here for sure."

Lu Lian looked at him, "Where are they? With the news of my pregnancy, Nicky should have been here, jumping over me with happiness."

"I doubt they got the news yet," Ming Rusheng informed. "Jiang Yang is on leave from the

Office."

"Have they gone somewhere?" Lu Lian pulled out her phone. "Let me call her."

"You might end up disturbing them," An Tian commented.

Lu Lian put the phone on speaker and kept it on the table. Rings could be heard with no signs

Of anyone answering.

"I tell you, calls won’t be answered," Lu Feng said this time.

"How dare she?" Lu Lian frowned and dialed the number again. "If she doesn’t pick up, it’s the end of our friendship. She knows the rule, chicks before dicks. She can’t break the rule." "Pregnancy sure gets the best out of women," An Tian chuckled while the others laughed. "Lian, you are pregnant. Use a decent one like-sister before mister." Lu Bao teased. "Don’t teach me. You keep your decency to yourself," Lu Lian gritted her teeth. "She is really not going to pick up..."

Just then, the call was answered, but before a proper ’Hello’ could be heard, a man’s voice

Came through.

"You dare pay attention to phones during sex. Seems like I’m not doing well enough to keep

Your attention from diverting," It was Jiang Yang’s voice.

It caught everyone’s attention, surprised at what they heard.
