"Do you want to shower on your own, or should I carry you to the bathroom?" Kane remained beside Lani, affectionately stroking her hair and caressing her face to help her calm down. Lani continued to breathe heavily, adjusting her breathing after their intimacy.Perhaps she was still upset as she had asked Kane to stop, and he hadn't paid attention."If you keep ignoring me, I'll just carry you into the bathroom and shower you myself," Kane whispered near Lani's ear in a husky tone, intentionally lowering his voice, which sounded even more seductive after their recent intimacy. Lani quickly pushed him away, accidentally brushing against his warm chest.Kane wanted to tease Lani, so before she could withdraw her hand,
Nevertheless, despite feeling frustrated, Lani sat down for breakfast with Aurora. The food was prepared by Kane, including sandwiches, fried eggs, and bacon – all of Lani's favorites.She happily finished a plate of food before heading to the studio with Aurora. Along the way, Lani didn't forget to text Kane, expressing how delicious the meal was."Why did you wake up so early? You could have slept for another half an hour; there's still plenty of time," Kane quickly replied and was surprised that Lani was already on her way to the studio so early. Lani sighed quietly and explained that it was all because Aurora had called her up too early."No worries. If you don't have work this afternoon, you can go home and
When Lani and Aurora posted this video, they found it amusing and adorable, lacking any notable features. However, fans discovered its unique charm and flooded the comments with praise."Lani has this adorable habit of puffing up her cheeks when she eats. It's so reminiscent of a tiny hamster.""Her eyes sparkle, blinking with sweetness when she sees food. I want to know which food brand she's advertising so I can order some.""Lani looks so delicious when she eats. If this ad airs, I'll place an order.""Doesn't anyone else find it adorable when Lani shakes her head while eating? I've replayed the video 10 times, and my head unconsciously shakes with hers.
Aurora nodded and left, reminding Lani to schedule a workout session with the personal trainer for tomorrow. Lani picked up her phone from the table, casually texting her trainer, Anna, before resuming her leisurely TV-watching on the sofa.It took Aurora about twenty minutes to return, carrying a bag of ice cream and coke. She placed two bottles of coke and two ice cream sticks on the table, storing the rest in the fridge. After putting away the ice cream, she approached Lani, her voice mysteriously hushed."Can you guess who I ran into at the supermarket just now?"The route from Lani's house to the supermarket passed through a famous shopping center.The area was well-known, and encounters with familiar faces from the showbiz industry were not uncommon when Lani and Aurora went out.Lani threw out names of famous actors and singers, but Aurora shook her head each time, claiming none were correct. Growing more curious, Lani hugged Aurora's arm directly, coaxing her."Don't make me g
After Lani finished showering, wearing only a thin silk outfit, Kane approached her from behind, crossing his arms and asking seriously."What if a man comes to invite you for a drink now?"Lani looked at Kane's serious face as if he were on official business and responded."I will refuse. I will say that my husband does not allow me to drink with strangers."Kane still hadn't dropped the topic."What if he's very handsome?"Lani burst into laughter, suddenly feeling Kane's current thoughts were childish. She smiled and looked straight
The conversation among the girls mostly revolved around family, work, and husbands. Nelly and Helen, in particular, were very interested in Lani's work, constantly asking questions."So, normally, you don't have to go to the company and sit for 7 to 8 hours a day like us? You only go to work when there's a schedule?" Nelly asked, sipping her wine with admiration in her eyes. The thought of being at the company every morning, sometimes working overtime, made her feel weary.Lani nodded, and Helen chimed in."A life of freedom like that is so good. If I were as beautiful and talented in acting as Lani, I'd want to be in showbiz too."From Lani's work, they gr
After the exhausting dance session, the four friends returned to the private room to enjoy drinks. Nelly and Helen, who had danced at a distance, were unaware of the incident involving Lani until they entered their private room."That's horrible! How could he do something that makes others nauseous?" Nelly clenched her fists, expressing her anger. Helen, more composed, looked at Lani before gently asking, "Are you okay? Were you scared when it happened? Did you feel disgusted when he touched you?"Lani nodded sincerely. "When I realized his hand was on my waist, I felt truly disgusted. Fortunately, Kane appeared just in time."Reflecting on the recent situation, Lani still felt a slight tremor. Nelly, angered, tighten
The next day was a weekend, and when Lani woke up, she noticed Kane looking at her with love. Remembering the memories of the previous night, especially Kane's satisfied and content smile, she felt anger welling up. Finally, Lani decisively kicked Kane."Hey, don't be so angry. People often say women become angry after marriage because their husbands can't satisfy them at night. Are you dissatisfied with me?"Kane held onto Lani's leg while caressing her smooth white legs, making Lani blush. She was surprised. Kane had a naughty side hidden beneath his mature and cold exterior."Don't say nonsense here, hm? Now I want to fight you. Do I need a reason?"Lani
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
