In the end, she couldn't forget where she was.

Wang Xiaofei didn't dare to go too far.

Previously, when nobody had any claim over anyone,

it was fine to fool around a bit.

But now that her good friend has landed the guy,

secretly seducing her man would seem rather immoral.

Feeling anxious, Wang Xiaofei sneaked back to her seat.

Nobody noticed anything unusual about her because everyone was busy sharing first-time pregnancy tips with their good friend, Xia Ruyi.

After all, they've all been through it.

Everyone chimed in, and Xia Ruyi nodded along repeatedly.

She thought to herself that their experiences probably wouldn't be of much use to her, because she was being taken care of by a highly experienced nanny the whole time.

Of course, she wouldn't dare say such low EQ words out loud.

She gratefully thanked her sisters for their selfless advice.

"By the way, have you decided on a name for Ruyi's baby yet?"

Chen Xingru asked with a smile.

Xia Ruyi paused for a moment.

She had asked him more than once, but he always said there's no rush; it wasn't time yet.

So...

Xia Ruyi rubbed her belly and replied, "No hurry, the baby is only a month old, we'll decide after it comes out, not to mention we haven't even checked if it's a boy or a girl."

"Why not get it checked?" Chen Xingru glanced around, noticing Sun Dasheng wasn't there, she continued, "There's a world of difference between a boy and a girl, especially in wealthy families like theirs; only boys can inherit significant wealth."

"Yeah, Sister Xingru is right, you should pay more attention to this." Other sisters chimed in to advise.

"Haha... you're overthinking it, he told me that boys and girls will inherit equally in the future," Xia Ruyi said with a smile.

The ladies said, 'That's great' out loud, but inside they laughed at Xia Ruyi's naivety.

In wealthy families, there's always a "throne to inherit," how can boys and girls be the same?

It's completely different, really.

This was their conclusion after watching countless bossy CEO dramas.

In these stories, evil in-laws always tear apart the female lead for having a daughter.

Ugh...

Thinking of this, they felt that Xia Ruyi's innocence was going to cause her to suffer a lot.

Because she simply can't compete with those evil mothers-in-law.

She's no match at all.

At this moment, the maid came over: "Madam, dinner is ready, you may start."

"Okay, you can go, we'll be right there." Xia Ruyi instructed the maid, then turned to her good friends, "Let's go, it's your first time visiting my home, please make yourselves at home, just like usual."

Like usual? That's a joke.

That's what the ladies muttered to themselves.

Because being wealthy is freaking nice.

Even having meals is done with people waiting on you.

They were genuinely envious.

This is the ultimate pursuit for women, isn't it?

Ah! Ah!

Why wasn't it me who hit the jackpot that day?

They began to daydream, one by one.

After dinner.

They lingered for a long time at the house.

Only then did they reluctantly leave.

Xia Ruyi was in a great mood today.

It was the first time her friends had praised her so much, and it felt fantastic to be in the spotlight like that.

Sun Dasheng was also in a good mood today.

The ladies were very considerate, each making an effort to chat with him, afraid that he would feel neglected at home.

He felt the ladies' broad-mindedness.

So big... cough cough, I mean, so warm.

.....

"Are they all gone?"

"Yeah."

"Then come in, don't just stand in the doorway getting cold." Sun Dasheng domineeringly picked her up and carried her to the couch inside.

"Oh..." Xia Ruyi buried her head in his chest, feeling an indescribable sense of security.

At that moment, a thought popped into her head: the baby in her belly really was her lucky star.

If not, how could she have risen so quickly, living a life her friends envied?

A life of ease, unimaginable for a girl who came from the countryside, slaving away for capitalists in the big city.

"Thank you!"

The sudden gratitude made Sun Dasheng slightly pause.

Then he smiled and patted her head, "Why so formal with me?"

But thinking back, they'd only known each other for just a few days.

In those short few days, he had mostly been mingling with those ladies.

They hadn't even spoken much together.

No wonder she seemed so unfamiliar and polite with him now.

Feelings do require some time to develop properly.

Sun Dasheng didn't do anything else, he specially stayed home to chat with her.

They talked about her past: family, work, and if she had ever been in love.

When it came to dating, Xia Ruyi blushed, "I never dated anyone."

"How's that possible? As pretty as you are? No one pursued you in school? I don't believe it!" Sun Dasheng shook his head.

A pretty girl claiming to be reserved, having never been intimate, he believed, because there are plenty of such girls. (Not a high proportion, but with a large population base)

But a pretty girl saying she's never dated? He couldn't believe it at all, because it's simply not in line with human nature.

And pretty girls have lots of admirers.

Even if most of them are average, there must be a few outstanding and handsome ones, right?

"I was really ugly during school," Xia Ruyi said.

"Oh? How ugly, let me see." Sun Dasheng became interested.

Xia Ruyi took out her phone and showed him a photo.

Wow, that's like a whole new person surgery!
