The Billionaire's Flash Marriage: Baby, I'm Sorry Chapter 21: Farewell
After a passionate kiss, Kane held Lani for a while before heading to the bathroom for a quick shower. He then descended to the kitchen to prepare dinner. Although Lani wanted to lend a hand in the kitchen, the sweet memory of the lingering kiss and the intimate atmosphere from moments ago made her shy.She sat on the sofa, pretending to be at ease while watching a movie. "Let's eat," Kane announced.While Lani was engrossed in the TV, Kane suddenly appeared from behind, wrapping his arms around her. His warm breath, carrying a faint scent of mint, enveloped Lani, creating a familiar and pleasant aroma."Do you need me to carry you?" Kane whispered into Lani's ear, causing her face to blush rapidly. Lani's response was hesitant, reflecting the inner turmoil she was experiencing."No, it's not necessary. I can manage on my own," Lani stammered.Despite sensing Lani's hesitation, Kane playfully teased her. Without warning, he scooped her up and carried her towards the kitchen, each step
The Billionaire's Flash Marriage: Baby, I'm Sorry Chapter 22: Now I have to demand compensation
When Kane arrived, he found Lani and Aurora sitting in a corner surrounded by scattered wine bottles. The two were talking and laughing.He overheard Aurora teasingly saying, "Men are all scoundrels, Lani. That guy who called you earlier must be a scoundrel. Block his phone number later."Lani nodded, seeming to be intoxicated and only giggling."That's right, there's no good man out there. They're all either stupid or cheaters."Kane hesitated for a moment, unsure whether to approach or not. After a few seconds of indecision, he helplessly walked over to Lani, gently supporting her against his shoulder and tenderly stroking her hair."Lani, let's go home; it's getting late," he suggested softly.Lani blinked, tilting her head to look at Kane with curiosity. "Who are you? Do we know each other?"Kane sighed in frustration, carefully holding Lani tighter as she was about to fall onto the sofa, explaining, "Yes, we're very close. I'm your husband, and I've come to take you home."At thi
The Billionaire's Flash Marriage: Baby, I'm Sorry Chapter 23: There's no man in this world that Aurora can't charm
Lani was kissed into a blissful daze, only recalling the need to call Aurora when Kane got out of bed to prepare a fresh breakfast. Aurora's voice on the other end quickly picked up, its tone light and cheerful as if yesterday's tears and pain were mere illusions."Awake now, Lani? Anything bothering you?"Lani hesitated before responding, still a bit bashful."And how about you? Feeling more relaxed today?""Want to go shopping to lift your spirits? Go ahead, I'll foot the bill."Lani spoke generously, eliciting a laugh from Aurora. She shook her head, showcasing an adept ability to regulate Aurora's emotions. After a day, the atmosphere had become much more comfortable."No need. Stay at home and nurture the bond with your husband.""Oh, right. Yesterday, besides Kane, did anyone come to pick us up? I vaguely remember being brought home by a very handsome man, helping with hotel reservations, even carefully covering me with a blanket.."As Aurora voiced these thoughts, she wasn't en
The Billionaire's Flash Marriage: Baby, I'm Sorry Chapter 24: Pursuing Ryan
A few days later, Aurora proved true to her words and vigorously pursued Ryan. Every day, she persistently texted and initiated conversations with Ryan, often using the excuse of wanting to thank him for escorting them to the hotel to invite him for meals.Lani heard Aurora's tales of this love pursuit every day and had grown accustomed to Aurora's complaints."Ryan is such a cold and boring person. I've made lunch appointments with him multiple times, and he always uses work as an excuse, claiming he has to stay late.""If he wasn't pretending to be busy to reject me, then his boss must be a dictator, giving him an enormous workload."Aurora didn't know how to comfort Lani, so they both lay on the sofa cursing Ryan's boss."Who knows, maybe his boss assigns lots of tasks to Ryan. Being a secretary comes with a heavy workload, and having a boss too demanding will surely make him too busy for lunch."Feeling somewhat comforted, Aurora began to speak."Right, Ryan's boss must be awful,
The Billionaire's Flash Marriage: Baby, I'm Sorry Chapter 25: Why did you come back so early?
She unlocked her phone, swiftly found the trending search, and also located a screen recording of the live broadcast. This morning on the game show, Hebe ended up as the loser and had to carry out a penalty task. The task she drew was to reveal a little-known secret about one of the celebrities participating in the game show that day.Lani furrowed her brows, sensing an impending unease. Indeed, as she watched on the screen, Hebe pretended to be embarrassed, biting her lip and starting to plead with the staff."Can I choose a different task? I only know one secret about Lani, but I promised Lani I would not reveal this."This head-and-tail game of concealment only heightened the interest of the staff and director, who refused to let Hebe choose another task and insisted on her carrying out the penalty immediately. So, Hebe continued to feign innocence, looking directly into the camera with harmless, reddened eyes."Sorry, Lani. It is the punishment of the show, and I have no other cho
The Billionaire's Flash Marriage: Baby, I'm Sorry Chapter 26: Do you want a hug?
Kane, concealing his astonishment, took a moment before approaching Lani and sitting beside her."I checked the hotsearch, those curses, don't keep them in your heart, and don't let them bother you too much. It's okay. No matter what happens, I'll always be by your side.""Do you want a hug?"Afraid that Lani was putting on a brave front to avoid worrying others, Kane quickly offered reassurance. Lani burst into laughter, watching Kane extend his arms and move. Lani embraced him, her voice carrying a hint of youthful laughter."I'm fine. I stopped caring about others' judgments a long time ago.""I've also found a way to make Hebe Pay the price for mistakes."Kane carefully rubbed Lani's back, a low, hearty laugh emanating from his chest."Yes, you're quite skilled. Those who have hurt you shouldn't get to live happily."Lani agreed with Kane's words, happily breaking into a smile. Subsequently, she pulled Kane down onto the sofa beside her, and the two embraced each other while watch

When the two arrived home, it was a little while later. Initially, when Kane carried Lani, she felt a bit sleepy, but perhaps the cool autumn breeze dispelled her drowsiness. Now, she was awake.After showering, Lani left the bathroom and comfortably lay on the bed for Kane to blow-dry her hair. Kane stood behind Lani, carefully running his fingers through her soft, pleasantly scented hair, using the hairdryer to dry her hair. Lani blissfully narrowed her eyes.Her voice was soft, like a kitten purring."It feels so comfortable. I should have asked you to do this earlier."Kane laughed, putting the hairdryer down and then hugging Lani from behind."Are you still sleepy? If not, I can carry you to the living room to continue watching the movie."As Lani was about to respond, she remembered something, awkwardly running her fingers through her hair and smiling."Can we go to the kitchen and eat something? I'm feeling a bit hungry."Because she was about to film for Director Lee soon, Lan
The Billionaire's Flash Marriage: Baby, I'm Sorry Chapter 28: I'm sure you'll get cursed by everyone
A while later, Lani still had her eyes wide open, looking around in bewilderment."What happened? Did Hebe spread nasty rumors about you?"Seeing the innocence in Lani's eyes, Kane worriedly stroked her hair and pulled her into a comforting embrace."Don't worry. Whatever happens, let's stay calm. You and I will figure out how to handle it together.""Don't care much about what other people say. You are great, and you are the most perfect girl in this world, Lani. I promise."Now slightly more alert, Lani looked at Kane and spoke uncertainly, "It seems there's another hot topic about me. But it seems positive, as Aurora's voice sounded cheerful."Lani grabbed her phone and opened today's hot searches. She quickly found the trending topic about her with the headline "Lani's Rumors Denied by Directors – Hebe's Smear Unfounded?"Curious, she clicked to read and took a while to grasp the unfolding situation.The morning rumors not only smeared her but also affected the reputation of direc

Aurora drove Lani back home. On the way, she received a call from Ryan. His voice was urgent as he explained that he had forgotten an important document at home and needed it for a meeting at the company. He asked if Aurora could conveniently swing by his place, pick up the document, and bring it to the office. Ryan's urgent tone worried Aurora, but she reassured him. "Don't worry. Just wait for me a moment. I'll drive to your place right away." Although aware of what was happening, Lani still pretended to be surprised. She looked at Aurora's worried face and asked, "What's wrong? Does Ryan have something urgent at the company?" Aurora nodded, explaining briefly, "Ryan forgot an important document at home. I'll take you home first. Then I'll drive to Ryan's place to bring him the document." Lani nodded, comforting Aurora. "It's okay. Stay calm. Ryan's work is more important. You drive to his place first." Aurora nodded. Along the way, Lani would occasionally glance at Aurora. He

The next day,Lani went shopping with Aurora. Her belly had grown, causing her previous clothes, especially the fitted dresses that accentuated her curves, to no longer fit comfortably. So, she strolled through the mall with Aurora to buy some looser-fitting dresses to wear at home."Hey, do you think I need to buy clothes for my dear daughter in advance?" Lani gestured towards the store across the street. "There's a children's clothing store over there that has beautiful clothes. I want to buy some for my daughter."Aurora nodded. "Sure, let's go. I also want to buy a few dresses for my goddaughter."Lani and Aurora enjoyed their shopping spree, picking out quite a few outfits for the newborn baby girl. It will ship to Lani's house.Lani looked excitedly at the staff who was wrapping the tiny clothes in a delicate box."They're so beautiful. I'm sure my daughter will love them."Rubbing her belly, Lani smiled as if she were talking to the baby. "My little Ice Cream, do you like these
The Billionaire's Flash Marriage: Baby, I'm Sorry Chapter 177: We'll stand by to calm him down
When it came to naming their child, Kane felt helpless with Lani. She always insisted she was carrying a daughter, citing her intuition as always correct.So from time to time, Lani would come up with a few names for her daughter and then ask Kane what he thought of them.It wasn't the first time Kane looked helplessly at Lani."How can you be so sure you're having a girl?" he asked.Lani mysteriously smiled. "That's a mother's intuition.""But you didn't answer me, did you? How do you feel about the name Ice Cream? Or maybe we should name our daughter Strawberry?"Lani wanted to give her child this name for a simple reason. She loved ice cream, especially strawberry ice cream. Yet during the early months of pregnancy, Kane didn't allow her to eat ice cream, so she wanted to name her child Ice Cream as an expression of her fondness.Lani seemed to like this name, giggling as she rubbed her belly. She was pregnant three months along. It had grown a little larger, and she rubbed it exci

After their conversation, Kane urged Lani to have breakfast. He prepared a table full of diverse dishes for her, including chicken congee, salad, egg sandwiches, and milk. Lani looked at the spread in amazement."I won't be able to eat all of this. It's too much," Lani remarked.Kane gently stroked her head."It's okay. Eat as much as you want. You haven't been eating much lately due to morning sickness, so I cooked dishes to help you eat more."The three of them sat down for breakfast. And Kane kept adding more food to Lani's plate."Have another piece of sausage. It's delicious.""The salad is also tasty, with a light and refreshing flavor. Can you eat a bit more?""Do you want some more congee? I'll get you a little more. The chicken is cooked so tenderly; it tastes amazing."Lani ate until she was comfortably full, rubbing her belly."It's all because of you. I'm so full I can't get up anymore," Lani joked.Kane chuckled, lifting Lani carefully and leading her to the living room.

Lani thought that compared to her, Kane was calmer and more composed about her pregnancy. He acted cautiously, protecting and caring for her well, always rational and reliable. But it seemed that Lani was somewhat misunderstanding. Compared to her, Kane sometimes seemed more childish.For example, at present.After dinner, they sat on the sofa and watched a movie. Roger called. He recounted the busy past few months abroad working on a successful collaborative project and was now back in town.Kane turned on the speaker. So Lani could hear Roger's excited voice."Haven't seen you in a few months, how about going out for drinks? Me, Leo, and Ryan will be there. Come here for some fun."Kane made a noise of surprise, asking, "Huh? What? Are you congratulating me?""You know I'm about to become a father? How could you know that?""Yeah, that's right. Lani's been pregnant for two months now."Not only was Roger shocked on the other end of the line, but Lani was also surprised. She rubbed h

The days of rest for Lani have arrived. Compared to her, Kane seems even more tense.Lani sleeps until noon, waking up in Kane's embrace. Kane will smile at her, gently rubbing her belly."Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? Are you tired?" he would ask.Lani has explained many times.She's not even two months pregnant yet.And her belly is still flat as usual. But Kane enjoys touching Lani's belly. He claims he can feel the baby growing inside her when he touches it.Lani is sure this is just Kane's imagination, but she doesn't have the heart to disillusion him and make him sad.She shakes her head and reassures him that she's fine.Kane helps her sit up, carefully takes her hand, and leads her off the bed, then guides her into the bathroom to brush her teeth.Kane hands her a cup of warm water, helping her get toothpaste and massaging her scalp."I'll go downstairs to make breakfast for you. Come down when you're brushing," Kane says.Lani nods drowsily.As she descends the stairs,

The female doctor emerged with the results. Though the scene mirrored what had happened a few minutes ago, the emotions of the three were now quite different.They anxiously watched the doctor, who seemed to want to smile. She looked kindly at Lani."Congratulations. You're six weeks pregnant," The doctor said.Lani's mind was sluggish. The chaotic sounds swirling around her left her bewildered. She stared blankly at the doctor, unable to react. Her lips moved as if wanting to say something, but no words came out.Sensing Lani's daze, the doctor approached and placed the result paper into her hand."Rest well and avoid high-intensity work like you've been doing," the doctor advised, glancing at Aurora and Kane sitting nearby."You two are Lani's husband and close friend, right? Take good care of her. The first few months of pregnancy are crucial. She needs plenty of rest, a balanced diet, and should avoid..."The doctor proceeded to give a series of instructions for pregnant women. Au

In the following days, Lani must balance shooting her film and meeting Ryan to plan their engagement. Despite her busy schedule, Lani remained cheerful and relaxed.After finishing a scene and resting in the dressing room, Lani would look at Aurora, who was giggling mischievously."What's so funny? Why are you laughing so happily?" Aurora asked, surprised, as she touched Lani's face, her expression dreamy."It's a secret," Lani replied mysteriously.Aurora thought Lani's laughter might be due to stress from filming, so she didn't pay too much attention to it.Then, one day, while filming, Lani suddenly raised her hand to signal a break and rushed into the restroom to vomit.Concerned, Aurora followed her and found Lani standing in the restroom, exhausted, with her head hanging over the toilet but unable to vomit anything. Aurora rubbed Lani's back to make her feel more comfortable."What's wrong? Are you feeling very uncomfortable?" Aurora asked anxiously."I don't know what's happeni
The Billionaire's Flash Marriage: Baby, I'm Sorry Chapter 171: I can wait however long it takes for you
Lani relaxed and enjoyed herself in the following days until she received a phone call from Ryan."Lani, could you help me with something?" Ryan's voice sounded nervous and anxious, making Lani tense up. She asked in surprise, "What's going on?"Ryan hesitated for a while, not knowing where to start. He sounded flustered. "It's a long story. I can't explain it in a few sentences. Can you meet me? Let's meet at the coffee shop near your house!""And also, please keep it a secret from Aurora. Don't let her know we're meeting," Ryan added.Lani agreed, and Ryan said they would meet in an hour.After hanging up, Lani looked puzzled and asked Kane. He was sitting beside her, "What's going on? Ryan sounded very serious."Kane stroked Lani's hair and calmly looked at her. "I guess Ryan wants you to help him plan a proposal to Aurora."Kane conveyed a lot with just a short sentence. And Lani understood.She exclaimed, realizing that was why Ryan had asked her not to let Aurora know about the
