Wan Jia hugged him fondly. "Thank you my love. You should go back to Lu Enterprises now."

"Are you sending me away right after having your way again? You really like burning your bridges." His expression was that of complaint, as though he had been awfully wronged.

"You need to go back to work. Do you think that if you are no longer the hardworking Lu Aotian, I will still want you?"

"I dare you to say that again." Lu Aotian gazed at her dangerously.

"If you are no longer hardworking, I will not..hey! I'm still pregnant." She pushed him away. How could he still kiss her?

"Who was it that said that pregnant women cannot be kissed." He went for her lips as soon as his voice fell.

She still struggled to push him. "The doctor said…"

"Hm? He didn't say I cannot kiss you, did he? If he did, then he must be a quack." He did not stop kissing her.

After accepting Lu Shaoting's proposal, Su Ling was the happiest woman in the whole world.

She would often space out, looking at her ring and touching it.

"One more look and I'll take it away." Lu Shaoting warned.

He had been having lunch with her but all this while, she had not been looking at him but at a lifeless ring instead? Which man woild accept this?

Su Ling retracted her gaze quickly and looked at him.

How could her man be so mean? Someone should give him something he values so much, and see if he doesn't look at it all day.

Well, there would be such a thing; their little baby. But that would be months later.

For now, Su Ling could only try hard to tear her gaze away from her hand, with a pouty expression.

She changed the topic. "What took you so long to propose? I was almost starting to think that you did not intend to marry me at all."

Lu Shaoting chuckled. She was not the only person who found him strange regarding this. After watching Su Ling for a while, Lu Tongyan had understood her better and realized that she was a nice girl. So he had started nagging Lu Shaoting to propose to her.

He even once said to his second son that if he did not propose soon enough, some other man with a sweet tongue might appear and run off with Su Ling.

That, coming out of the mouth of the man who had initially been dead set against Su Ling, had been quite comical.

Lu Tongyan was not the only one who was nagging him. Henry Blanc had also asked him about it a few times.

Only Lu Aotian seemed to understand him about this and had kept his mouth shut.

He looked at Su Ling and answered seriously, "I wanted to propose all the tension in the family had settled down."

Su Ling was probably wondering since when there was tension in the Lu family.

Well, since Lu Shaoting did not exactly tell her everything, it was hard for her to know everything that was going on in the family.

Although Lu Aotian and Wan Jia did not walk around showing it on their faces, they were extremely worried about their daughter's condition.

Any pair of parents would be worried. Any family member would be unsettled. How could anyone have a clear mind when the first heir of the family was terminally sick?

Well, in some families, the younger brother would be happy with such a situation because if the first son's heir died, the family company would probably be inherited by second son's offspring.

However, in Lu Shaoting's situation, it was hard to tell. Su Ling and Wan Jia seemed to have gotten pregnant within a very short time frame. One could not be sure whose child would be born first.

Who was to say, perhap's Little Jia's sibling would still be the eldest grandson if something happened to Little Jia?

Of course, the main point was worth remembering. Lu Shaoting had never coveted the company. Even if his child did not take it over, he would still not mind.

He had long accepted the fact that Lu Aotian made a better CEO than him, thanks to his seniority in the family as well as his capabilities, and if his nephew or niece was older and better than his child, he would accept this too.

Not to mention, he loved Little Jia so much that he wished more than anyone that the little girl would be cured faster.

All forms of treatment were after all only temporary and although she had never lost a strand of her hair and she was still strong thanks to Qian Li's pill, the condition was still worrying.

Until Wan Jia got pregnant, until the doctor confirmed that the fœtus was safe and healthy, their tension decreased by at least firty percent.

Well, it had not fully disappeared because anything could happen.

The baby could be lost, or it might as well not be a match for Little Jia. But since the chances of such things happening were extremely minute, there was no longer anything to be worried about.

Lu Shaoting could still claim to have proposed when the tension in the family calmed down. More importantly, there was no longer distress in his heart.

With his sister-in-law pregnant, his heart was filled with newly found hope. His little niece would be alright. Not only that, he would have another nephew or niece too. Double happiness.

Su Ling stared at her fiancé who was lost in thought. A smile had started surfacing across his lips. She looked down.

Was he daydreaming about how much he adored his niece, Little Jia, again?
