Flash Marriage, Deep Love-Chapter 349 Jingjing, Are You Pregnant? (2)

"Just had dinner with Jingjing, so I’m late." Shen Lingxing glanced at Mi Jing, then coldly said to Yao Xinchen.

"Ha."

Upon hearing this, Yao Xinchen forced a smile and then asked Shen Lingxing, "Were you afraid that what I prepared wouldn’t suit Miss Mi’s taste?"

"Yeah, that was a concern." Shen Lingxing’s bluntness made Yao Xinchen feel a bit embarrassed.

"..."

Are you here to ruin the mood?

Mi Jing glanced at Shen Lingxing, then sneakily looked at Yao Xinchen. Seeing the awkward silence between them, Mi Jing smiled to break the ice, "Miss Yao, do you run a wedding dress company? The wedding dresses on those models are all very beautiful."

"Mm." Yao Xinchen gave a short nasal sound, her attitude cold and devoid of any warmth.

"..."

Mi Jing was at a loss for words, thinking, do you have to be so hostile? She was only trying to help ease the awkwardness!

Since Yao Xinchen didn’t welcome her, Mi Jing didn’t want to impose herself, so she shifted her gaze and looked elsewhere.

Aunt Su!

To Mi Jing’s surprise, her casual glance among the unfamiliar faces landed on someone she knew.

"Lingxing, Aunt Su is here too." Mi Jing broke the silence again and turned her gaze to Su Aiping, who was already walking toward them with a smile.

"Jingjing, Lingxing, what a coincidence! You also know Miss Yao?" Su Aiping held a wine glass in one hand and a small bag in the other. Her demeanor was graceful, her smile warm, still kind and approachable as ever.

Hearing this, Mi Jing just smiled without responding. Shen Lingxing, still serious as ever, gave a symbolic nod before Su Aiping started speaking, as a greeting.

Originally, Mi Jing wanted to distract Shen Lingxing and dissolve the awkward atmosphere, but Su Aiping’s arrival only made it more awkward.

Not being very familiar with Su Aiping, Mi Jing felt a bit reserved in such a setting and didn’t know what to talk about. Judging from Shen Lingxing’s lukewarm attitude, he didn’t seem familiar with her either. The four of them stood together in silence, making each passing second feel magnified in discomfort.

"Jingjing, you seem to have gained some weight since the last time. Are you pregnant?" Su Aiping, seemingly oblivious to the awkward atmosphere, looked at Mi Jing with delight and said something that caught Mi Jing off guard.

Pregnant?

No way! Shen Lingxing always takes precautions!

Startled, Mi Jing reflexively sucked in her stomach, feeling a bit embarrassed, "Maybe I’ve just been eating a lot lately."

"Haha, being able to eat is a blessing." Su Aiping glanced at Yao Xinchen with a look of indifference before smiling and saying, "My friend is over there, I need to go. You all continue chatting."

As soon as Su Aiping left, the awkward atmosphere remained, especially when Mi Jing noticed Yao Xinchen’s gaze on her stomach. Mi Jing sucked in her stomach even more, almost forgetting how to breathe.

"You go ahead and take care of things. I’ll take Jingjing outside for a walk."

Noticing Mi Jing’s discomfort, Shen Lingxing decisively spoke up. As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around, leading Mi Jing towards the garden outside.

Phew—

As soon as they exited the side door of the venue, Mi Jing’s body relaxed instantly, finally able to breathe freely!

"No need to hold in your stomach." Shen Lingxing looked at Mi Jing, his eyes showing tender pity that even the night couldn’t hide.

"I’m fine." Mi Jing smiled lightly and then muttered with a bit of remorse, "I shouldn’t have eaten so much."

"How about going home?" Shen Lingxing knew Mi Jing didn’t like such occasions and didn’t want her to suffer, so he thought about leaving.

Home?

Mi Jing froze for a moment, looking at Shen Lingxing in surprise.

It doesn’t seem right to leave just after arriving! Besides, if Shen Lingxing didn’t want to attend Yao Xinchen’s party, he wouldn’t have come, nor would he have made her dress up for it.

"I’m really fine." Mi Jing smiled reassuringly, "After a little rest, I feel much better, let’s go back inside."

Re-entering the venue, Mi Jing’s gaze was quickly drawn to the wedding dresses on the models. She had to admit, Yao Xinchen’s party was not only lavish but also exquisitely arranged.

Looking around, beautiful women in wedding dresses occupied every corner. Some stood frozen and wooden, others smiled warmly, some were cold as ice, and others were charmingly lively, showcasing the various aspects of feminine beauty to the fullest. It was no wonder that some men occasionally cast their gazes at them during conversations.

Unlike the men appreciating the beauties, most women’s gazes were on those beautiful and luxurious wedding dresses, admiring, marveling, and even feeling a tinge of melancholy...

"These wedding dresses are so beautiful, but their design style seems to be trying too hard to imitate Kaelina’s, giving off a counterfeit vibe." After scanning the venue and taking in all the wedding dresses, Mi Jing couldn’t help but comment.

"You know Kaelina?" Shen Lingxing was a bit surprised, turning his head and lowering his eyes to look at Mi Jing.

"Well, not exactly. She’s Ruanruan’s idol. I used to hear Ruanruan talk about her often and watched many of her works with her. Wow, she’s..." Mi Jing suddenly paused, then, as if realizing something, asked, "Why do you ask? Do you know her?"

"She’s the wife of the foreign business partner I mentioned before, and she’s also the designer of these wedding dresses." Shen Lingxing said calmly.

Oh my god!

Kaelina is actually the designer for Yao Xinchen’s company! Doesn’t that mean...

"Miss Yao is the rumored sole heir of the Ai Tu Group?" Mi Jing was stunned as she voiced her guess.

Hearing this, Shen Lingxing raised an eyebrow, confirming Mi Jing’s speculation.

Incredible!

Previously only seen and known from magazines or news, these people had quietly entered her life.

"When is your next meeting with that foreign business partner?" After a moment of astonishment, Mi Jing quickly regained her composure and thought of Ruan Pianran. If there were a chance to see Kaelina, Ruanruan would be absolutely thrilled!

"Next month." Jelson had returned to the US due to important matters at the headquarters and wouldn’t be coming to China anytime soon.
