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
Instinctively, Lani stiffened and turned to look at Kane. Her facial expression is both pitiful and amusing. Due to the loud volume of Aurora's voice, Kane had also heard what she had just said.He pulled Lani up by the hand, and they both searched for the phone that was still livestreaming, placed at a distance. Eventually, they understood the reason behind the commotion.During the livestream, Lani used one phone placed closer to capture a close-up angle and read fan comments. The other leaned against the makeup table mirror to capture a broader view. However, when bidding farewell to the audience and ending the livestream, she had only turned off the phone near her.The other phone on the makeup table was still liv
Hebe's post was lengthy, beginning with a narrative of Lani's past from the perspective of a step-sister. She fabricated stories, alleging that Lani had been money-minded since childhood, frequently demanding expensive clothing and shoes from Hebe's mother, often from renowned brands.Hebe then delved into the time they attended the same school. Due to her beauty, Lani was often admired and approached by male classmates, but she only engaged in conversations with wealthy ones. Particularly in high school, Lani allegedly received expensive gifts regularly from her male friends.Although the post was extensive, the essence was a concoction of Lani's past to tarnish her reputation. Firstly, it aimed to create an image of a money-hungry girl who enjoyed seducing wealthy men. Secondl
After the sweet moments of the evening, Kane eventually composed himself, and together with Lani, they went to bed. Perhaps due to the accidents, Lani remained restless, continually tossing and turning, unable to settle down."Go to bed early, sweetie. Don't dwell too much on what has happened. What you need to do is handle everything well in the future," Kane comforted, embracing Lani from behind and gently rubbing her waist. Lani turned around and hugged Kane's waist, murmuring in agreement before slowly drifting into sleep.The next day, Kane woke up early to head to the company while Lani peacefully slept in bed.Kane planted a light farewell kiss on Lani's forehead, carefully turning away from the bed to minimize
After chatting with Aurora, Lani went home to be with Kane. Today, Kane had a meeting with a business partner, so he was coming back late. That's why Lani stayed and played with Aurora until it was late.When Lani arrived home, it was already late, but Kane had not returned yet. Lani comfortably went upstairs to take a shower first, then, as a habit, lay on the sofa waiting for Kane. She waited for about half an hour before Kane returned. Lani runs towards him, reaching out to embrace Kane's neck and swinging herself onto him."Why are you so late coming back? Are you tired?" she asked.Kane carefully held Lani to prevent her from falling, then stepped closer to the sofa and gently placed her down. Lani again turned a
At first, Lani pursed her lips, wanting to say something, but seeing Kane staring at her intensely, she became shy and kept her lips sealed. The current serene atmosphere made Lani feel quite awkward. She adjusted the hem of her skirt slightly and then moved to sit beside Kane."So, what's with the prolonged silence? Why keep staring without saying anything?" Lani asked.The captivating gaze and unwavering look made Lani aware that her current appearance pleased him. Pretending to be at ease, she leaned back, patting Kane's shoulder, and was about to speak when he kissed her.Kane kissed and gently nibbled on Lani's lips. During the kiss, he deliberately traced a path from her lower back down, making her shiver. The s
Lani mostly lounged lazily in bed for the remainder of the day, replenishing her energy. The previous night's inadequate sleep left her exhausted, prompting her to spend the afternoon catching up on rest.Kane, adhering to his routine, took care of household chores, tidying up the living space and handling some tasks, always maintaining a quiet demeanor to ensure he didn't disturb Lani's much-needed relaxation.By the time Lani woke up, it was already evening. When she groggily ventured out to find Kane, she discovered him dressed in a suit in the changing room, appearing hurried as if preparing to head out."Where are you off to?" she inquired.Lani wore a
Lani was no longer comfortable relying on He's assistance with household chores. She rarely adorned herself in the outfits He bought for her, never once swiping his black Kane card for payment. Since the day Kane handed Lani the card, she had never used it for a single transaction.Moreover, she exhibited no signs of jealousy, paying little attention to how intimate He might be with other girls. Despite the significant progress in their relationship lately, Lani's willingness to get close and express love wasn't enough to make Kane feel secure.He always sensed that Lani could depart without needing him anymore.Therefore, since the conversation with the rival concluded, signing the contract, and they returned home, K
However, as an educated and composed individual, Lani wouldn't want to talk to Amory. Both of them being celebrities, any sign of them together would undoubtedly spark an unwelcome scandal if spotted by reporters or anyone else.So, Lani curved her lips into a smile, but the gaze she directed at Amory was as cold as an ice cellar."Want to return to loving me again? Sure!"Amory's eyes gleamed like car headlights, a mixture of anticipation and triumph evident in his demeanor, sending shivers down Lani's spine. At this moment, she was genuinely curious – why did she once love someone so malicious and dreadful, even enduring the pain of infidelity?Thin
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
