864 Is My Sister Sick? (2/2)

”Then why…” Then her eyes widened as she realized something. ”Oh! Is she perhaps…pregnant?”

Lu Zihao didn't answer her. However, she understood that his silence meant that it wasn't his place to reveal something that held such importance for the couple. She could only wait for her little sister and soon-to-be brother-in-law to tell her the news themselves. Right now, she and Lu Zihao watched what was happening in front of them, both feeling helpless seeing their sister suffering like this.

Iris' bout of morning sickness in the lounge room soon passed. She regained her composure and energy after sipping fresh, hot ginger tea that the butler delivered as per her doctor's recommendation.

She and Jin Liwei also took that chance to finally tell Long Jinjing that she was pregnant. Long Jinjing became a little teary but her congratulations to the couple was genuine. She also promised not to tell anyone, including Chen Fei.

Iris sighed. ”I don't mind if you tell her. She's our friend, anyway, so I know that she'd keep my pregnancy a secret.”

Long Jinjing shook her head. ”It's not my place to tell others about your pregnancy.”

”Alright. Thanks, Big Sister.”

The group chatted with each other for the entire afternoon. Then they headed to one of the nearby smaller dining rooms for an early dinner just before sunset.

This time, the food seemed agreeable to Iris and she was able to eat her fill. Jin Liwei looked relieved to see her eating like normal.

After dinner, the trio—Iris, Jin Liwei and Lu Zihao—excused themselves and made their way to the couple's suite for their important talk.

Before leaving, Lu Zihao grabbed Long Jinjing and gave her a quick but firm peck on the lips, causing the sparkly-eyed Dom to squeal and fan himself with his perfectly manicured hands. Long Jinjing turned red while Lu Zihao didn't care.

”Hang out with your friends and the kids for now,” he told her. ”I might be late to come back, so you can head to my room first if you feel sleepy. Ask your friends to lead you there. They know where it is.”

”Okay,” she whispered. ”I'll wait for you.”

He nodded and followed Iris and Jin Liwei.
