As Kane had predicted, in the days that followed, Hebe's family no longer came to look for her, and the lives of the two eventually returned to peace. In recent days, Kane's foot gradually healed, with only slight swelling and redness remaining, but Lani remained as cautious as ever, not allowing him to move around too much.So, these recent days, the two spent most of their time lying on the sofa, watching TV, and embracing each other for rest. Director Lee's film had started filming, so occasionally, Lani would go to the set to shoot, while most of the remaining time was spent with Kane.Thus, every time Lani went to film, Kane would return to his home to tidy up a bit. He felt that his relationship with Lani had gradually stabilized, and now Lani wouldn't go so far as to divorce him if she found out his true identity.Therefore, Kane decided to tell the truth to Lani soon. In these days, Kane had ordered a ring that Hebe had designed during their time together, and it would be read
Reminded of yesterday, Lani blushed. The night before going to bed, Kane had kissed her for a very long time, moving from one kiss to another, making her lips swollen, and he didn't stop. Feeling a bit overwhelmed, Lani hid under the blanket, and it wasn't until later that Kane finally ended those dense kisses.Pretending not to hear, Lani tilted her head, hiding her reddened ear. Kane chuckled in a low voice, deciding not to tease Lani further.The latest film directed by Lee has commenced filming steadily. As a result, Lani finds herself occupied. This development coincides with Kane having ample time to refurbish his home in preparation for her arrival. The vibrant rose garden that Lani adores is already in place, and he has even hired someone to install a swing in the garden so that Lani can enjoy the refreshing breeze whenever she pleases.Moreover, given Lani's fondness for the jewelry from the brand "J," Kane has gone the extra mile by acquiring the entire recent collection rel
After the conversation with Maris, Kane returned to Lani's home. Lani hadn't returned yet. Kane remembered that she mentioned participating in a new game show broadcast this morning. In haste, Kane grabbed his iPad and opened the live-streaming page.The game show featured celebrities experiencing the life of ordinary people. Apart from Lani, there were four other female actors whose names Kane didn't know. The show seemed to have just begun as the staff was starting to explain the rules for today's challenge.Today's challenge for the five participants was to work as employees at a bubble tea shop for two hours. They had to wear masks to ensure fans wouldn't recognize them, and the winner would be determined by who sold the most bubble teas. The person bringing in the highest revenue for the tea shop would be declared the victor, while the loser would face a penalty – drinking an entire large cup of lemon concentrate.Kane furrowed his brows as he gazed at the large cup of lemon conc
In the evening, Kane talked to Lani about his upcoming business trip to country L, scheduled for two days later. The business trip to country L was real, but Kane chose not to disclose his intention of conveniently obtaining an engagement ring for Lani while there.Rarely did they find themselves leisurely together like this upon learning that Kane would be away on business for three consecutive days. She narrowed her eyes, embracing Kane and burying her petite face in the comfort of his chest, displaying a demeanor."Do you have to be away for so long? Then, I'll miss you terribly."Even though they currently shared their days at home, Lani had grown accustomed to having Kane around. The thought of Kane being absent for three days left her somewhat disheartened."I haven't left yet, you know. It's a bit early to talk about missing me. Save that line for when I'm at the airport; I like hearing it."Kane tightened his embrace around Lani, his hand resting on her shoulder, gently pattin
Meanwhile, on this side, Aurora stood by Ryan, reminding him to eat regularly and dress warmly for the chilly weather in country L as they embarked on a business trip with his boss. Although the two had not officially become a couple, their relationship had grown closer. At least Ryan was no longer as aloof towards Aurora as he had been initially, so she deliberately bid him farewell before he left to surprise him."But hasn't your boss arrived yet? It's almost time for the flight to take off," Aurora inquired."I still want to see his face. I've seen his back, strikingly similar to your friend Lani's husband. I want to see if their faces resemble each other," Ryan responded.They were practically the same. Fortunately, Aurora only saw his back; if she had seen his face, she might have uncovered the secret. Aurora didn't notice any stiffness in Ryan's expression or any sighs of relief, so she earnestly told him that the back of his boss and Lani's husband looked alike. She even mentio
"I just want to ask, what is Kane's true identity?" Lani tried to suppress her anger and politely inquired. Until now, she knew nothing about Kane's background, thinking he was just an ordinary employee. However, her explanation was unbelievable. Moreover, Lani felt Rachel's disdain for her, though she didn't know why.Rachel merely scoffed and calmly revealed Kane's true identity to Lani. Despite being mentally prepared, Lani was still shocked to hear Rachel speak. No wonder Rachel looked down on her when she visited her home. After all, Kane was the wealthiest billionaire in the city, and his monthly pocket money could probably buy two houses like the one Lani was living in.The disparity between them was too vast."No need to feign shock. I've seen people like you a lot. Pretending not to know about Kane's wealth, approaching him, trying to win his affection to become the wife of a billionaire and enjoy a luxurious life.""But you should know that you're just an ordinary person, no
Lani could swiftly adjust her emotions, so within a day, she had returned to her lively self.After packing her things into her suitcase, she comfortably joined Aurora on the sofa to play games together. Aurora seemed concerned that Lani might still be lingering in sadness, so she occasionally glanced at Lani's expressions. This cautiousness made Lani burst into laughter."I'm fine now. My emotions are much more stable. Knowing Kane's true identity made me realize I don't deserve him, and I also feel that this relationship shouldn't continue," Lani explained."So, I don't need to be overly sad or regretful. Anyway, the time I spent with Kane was quite harmonious. Let's consider it the beautiful final memories of us," she added.Aurora sighed in relief, deciding not to bring up that topic again. After playing games, the two lay on the bed. At this moment, Aurora remembered a det
Perhaps due to indulging in too much wine yesterday, Lani finds herself still not entirely clear-headed at the present moment, her mind swirling. She blinks repeatedly to dispel the lingering sleepiness, responding with a cold tone."I think, when it comes to the reasons, perhaps you are the one who knows best, billionaire Kane?"Lani doesn't want to beat around the bush any longer, desiring to speak plainly and end her relationship with Kane. She sits up, leaning against the headboard, and immediately catches the alarmed tone in Kane's voice."Lani, please, things aren't as you think. I didn't intentionally hide this from you."When Kane hears the mention of "billionaire," his mind feels hollow, his ears ringing suddenly, and his heart races beyond control. His anxiety reaches a point where his speech falters, and his words become muddled."Listen to me, Lani. Before, I didn't want to reveal my true identity because I wanted to marry a wife to please my mother. Initially, I wasn't se
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
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
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
