Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56After finishing the gift exchange, Maris poured a steaming cup of tea for Lani, pretending as if Kane didn't exist, and enthusiastically shared Kane's childhood stories with Lani.
"Ever since he was little, he liked to project this aloof demeanor, always wearing a serious expression, eyebrows furrowed as if he were an old sage."
"Many girls loved him, but his icy demeanor frightened them, causing their spirits to waver. I used to worry that he'd never get married, reach this age, and never fall in love with anyone."
Maris took a sip of tea, glanced at Kane, and continued.
"Fortunately, he eventually found you. Though he had expressed the desire to meet you

In the afternoon, Maris and Lani sat on the garden swing, chatting and enjoying tea. Maris's garden has numerous fragrant lavender flowers, a sight that Lani admired and praised continuously."If you like, just tell Kane. I can have him plant a lavender garden indoors for you," Maris suggested, pouring a fresh cup of tea. Lani shook her head, expressing that she loved the flowers in her indoor garden and hadn't considered planting new ones."Lani, would you like to hear about Kane's childhood? It wasn't as easy as you might think," Maris inquired, taking a sip of tea while her gaze looked into the distance. She could sense a certain hesitancy in Lani when it came to Kane's background, an unease in fully embracing him.

Perhaps witnessing the intimacy between Kane and Lani in the afternoon, Maris decided not to invite Lani to the movies in the evening. She opted not to let Lani go to the cinema, stating that she would go alone, leaving Kane and Lani to enjoy their time together comfortably.Although Lani naturally wanted to accompany Maris to avoid loneliness, Maris insisted."No, I prefer watching movies alone. Besides, my private driver will take me to the cinema and bring me back. I don't have to drive anywhere myself."Feeling reassured, Lani let Maris go with a smile.Min hinted that she needed to return home to look after her child, and Kane readily agreed. Thus, onl

This morning, Lani needed to shoot an advertisement for the latest clothing collection of a promising local fashion brand called "Be U." The scene was relatively simple. She had to collaborate with another famous singer, Jessica, and the two would portray close friends going shopping at the mall.Upon entering the Be U store, they were captivated by the beauty and sophistication of the dresses. Continuously trying on various outfits, they showcased the most striking pieces from the latest collection in front of the mirror. Finally, the scene concluded with both of them comfortably holding a stack of clothes from the brand at the cashier, engaging in conversation and praising the beauty and fit of Be U's clothing.The scene was straightforward, so Lani thought she could wrap it u

Jessica lightly tapped her fingers on the chair, occasionally throwing provocative glances at Kane and Lani. Upon witnessing this, Lani could only sigh. Perhaps Jessica had no idea of the impending troubles in her life.Once Mike answered the call, Jessica immediately played the victim."Mike, the actor shooting the ad with me bullied me and even called her husband to join in cursing me. You must protect me," she pleaded.As soon as Mike heard this, he let out a cold snort and responded swiftly."Who is it? Quickly tell me her name. I'll help you contact the director to replace the actor and shoot the ad with you."It wasn't the first time Mike had pulled such a maneuver, so he spoke with expertise. Aware of this, Jessica intentionally raised an eyebrow, glanced at Lani boastfully, and continued in a soft, melodious voice that sent shivers down Lani's spine."It's Lani and her husband. What's his name? Oh, right, it's Kane. You must help me kick Lani out of the studio. You have no ide

Kane remained seated, arms crossed, observing Jessica kneeling. Then, he glanced at Lani beside him. His expression immediately softened, and his tone became warmer."Lani, how do you feel now? Are you no longer angry?"Initially, Lani just wanted to say a few words to make Jessica uncomfortable, but Kane directly posed this question. However, she wasn't enthusiastic about humiliating others, so she nodded."Yeah, I feel fine now."She wasn't overly angered by Jessica's initially arrogant words, finding them rather amusing than infuriating. Seeing Jessica kneel in front of everyone now seemed like a bit of initial frustration fading away.

Curiosity consumed Lani about what transpired after she and Kane left, prompting her to call Aurora that evening to inquire."You have no idea how Jessica's fate unfolded. When you and Kane left, many staff members laughed and mocked her. They predicted she would vanish from the entertainment industry, so find some remote countryside to disappear into soon.""Jessica couldn't bear it and wanted to retaliate. However, due to kneeling for too long, her legs went numb. When she finally stood up, her knees buckled in pain, crashing onto the floor. It was agonizing.""She couldn't confront anyone on the staff because of the overwhelming film crew presence, in the end. Jessica could only resentfully grab her bag, bowing her

After Lani finished brushing her teeth and descended the stairs, Kane and Lani had breakfast together before cuddling on the sofa to watch TV."The Wind Whispers Beside Us, You Come to Me" is a school romance film. In the movie, Lani plays a sophomore medical student named Floral, who is beautiful and pure. To make Lani look younger, the makeup artist applied a light and gentle tone, enhancing her features to appear softer and more adorable.She looked every bit like a university student. It was a look that resonated well with Lani. The first scene in Episode 1 shows Lani moving into the school dormitory.Along the way, she accidentally bumps into the male lead, Caelan. This collision causes the water bottle in Caelan
The Billionaire's Flash Marriage: Baby, I'm Sorry Chapter 71: Livestream
In the evening, Lani had to go live from home to chat with her fans. The fans' reactions to the film were positive, and Aurora hoped that Lani could interact more with the fans to increase her popularity. Therefore, Kane went to the book room while Lani sat in the streaming room. Wanting the fans to have a clearer view, Lani live-streamed with two phones, one placed in front of her and another positioned further away to capture the overall scene.Seated at the makeup table, she gently blossomed a smile at the camera as she began. Due to the prior announcement of the livestream in the afternoon, a large audience tuned in. Just five minutes into the session, the comment section was already filled with praise from fans."Today, Lani looks stunning without makeup. The long, pastel d

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
