Chapter 262 Cocktail Party

"Okay, I'll keep that in mind. But there seems to be another ball coming up soon, and I heard it's invited a lot of celebrities from the fashion world and wealthy families. The person in charge from Chuxia's side will also be there. Do you want to go and take a look?"

"We'll see how things go then. I'm heavily pregnant right now, so it's not convenient for me."

Lu Wanxing said helplessly.

"Okay, nothing is more important than the baby in your belly right now. You still need to take good care of yourself."

Rong Jing looked at her belly, which was much bigger than he had seen before.

It is naturally much less convenient in terms of movement.

Previously, Lu Wanxing wouldn't usually be invited to these kinds of parties, but now that Chu Xia's side has sent someone in charge—someone who's in the industry—it's natural that they'd like to get to know their rival.

Lu Wanxing nodded and continued to read the documents in a comfortable position.

Lu Wanxing was so busy that it was noon when Aunt Chun from her family called her, and that's when she finally realized what was happening.

"Miss Lu, aren't you planning to come back for dinner?"

"Yes, Aunt Chun, I was busy here, so I forgot to tell you. You can eat lunch by yourself, so you don't need to wait for me."

"good."

After I finished talking to Aunt Chun, Rong Jing had already delivered the meal.

"You're here, let's eat first."

Lu Wanxing put down the documents, stretched her shoulders, then got up and walked around, washing her hands as she did so.

Only then did he sit down to eat again.

"Are you alright? You've been sitting here all morning."

"It's alright, my lower back is a little sore, but I'll get used to it."

Lu Wanxing waved her hand. "After this stage of pregnancy, sitting for long periods is definitely not good; it easily causes back pain."

However, since she wasn't pregnant, she couldn't let anyone touch her, so she basically had to rely on herself to get through it.

After finishing her meal, Lu Wanxing had almost finished her work and was ready to go home to rest.

"You can handle the rest of the work yourself. I'm going home to sleep."

"No, I have a lounge here. You can go in and rest."

Rong Jing looked at her with a reluctant expression.

"No, I'm not used to sleeping in unfamiliar beds. Also, don't even think about taking advantage of another pregnant woman. I need to rest."

Don't think Lu Wanxing can't see through his thoughts. Doesn't he just want him to stay and continue handling the work?

I'm not going to fall for that.

Rong Jing touched his nose somewhat guiltily.

"Alright, I'll have the driver take you home. Don't drive on the way; it's dangerous for you to be pregnant."

Rong Jing ultimately dared not go too far.

He got up and saw the person out.

Lu Wanxing stayed at home in the afternoon. Since she was alone, she didn't feel bored or anything.

Aunt Chun was thinking of getting Lu Wanxing to go out for a walk, but she was too lazy to move and just stayed on the sofa reading.

Bo Sinian had always known about her whereabouts.

Aunt Chun would report to him from time to time, but even so, he would feel a little sad if he didn't see Lu Wanxing for a day.

So he could only get news from Aunt Chun from time to time, and he could also find out what she had done that day.

After dinner, Lu Wanxing went back to her room. Aunt Chun asked her to get up and go for a walk together, but Lu Wanxing refused because it was too cold.

In the end, there was nothing we could do but let her be.

The colder the weather, the more lethargic she felt, especially since she was naturally sensitive to the cold.

Now I almost want to stay in a heated room 24 hours a day.

When Bo Sinian called Aunt Chun, Aunt Chun was talking about Lu Wanxing's reluctance to go out for a walk.

"Then you should keep an eye on her more often. Even just walking around at home is fine. Now that her belly is big, she needs to exercise more. By the way, how is her mood? Is she obviously unhappy or anything?"

Aunt Chun thought for a moment, then shook her head.

"No, not really. She's still eating and watching TV as usual. I didn't notice anything wrong when she came back from outside. It's just that since I arrived, Miss Lu seems to like sleeping a lot, but it's normal for pregnant women to sleep more."

Aunt Chun told Bo Sinian everything about Lu Wanxing, down to the smallest detail.

Bo Sinian fell silent before the story was finished.

I originally thought Lu Wanxing would be sad or unhappy, but the two of them are currently in a cold war, or it's just her doing it alone, but her mood doesn't seem to be affected at all.

This left Bo Sinian feeling somewhat frustrated.

Does this woman really not care about herself at all?

Do you really want to see other women around him?

The mere thought of this possibility made him feel uneasy.

"Okay, I understand. Just let me know if anything happens on her end."

After saying that, Bo Sinian hung up the phone.

His expression was already quite bad, and he seemed to be on the verge of becoming irritable.

I desperately need a place to vent.

But in the end, I could only distract myself with work.

This is tough on the company's employees.

Assistant Ding was complaining a few days ago that the president left work early, and now he wants to beat up his own ungrateful self from those days.

Wouldn't it be great to leave work early?

It's better than being in the company at 8 or 9 pm now.

If the boss doesn't leave, it's not a good time for me, as his assistant, to leave either.

It's heartbreaking to even talk about.

Lu Wanxing stayed at home for the next few days, occasionally walking around the living room and practicing yoga. She spent most of her time at home and disliked going out even more.

It wasn't until Rong Jing sent the invitation that the invitation arrived.

Lu Wanxing started calling Lin Qiao to ask her to accompany her to the cocktail party.

Lin Qiao is still in the entertainment industry. Learning more about people in the fashion world might be helpful for her career in the future.

That's why Lu Wanxing brought her along.

She didn't wear anything particularly expensive at the moment, since she was pregnant and staying warm was the most important thing.

So she wore a minimalist black dress and draped a fur coat over it, making her look incredibly elegant.

"I said you really have the air of a noblewoman now, making me feel like I can't reach you."

Lin Qiao, standing to the side, couldn't help but tease her about her outfit.

"Right? That's exactly what we want—to look like someone can't afford to be near us."

Lu Wanxing said with a smug look on her face.

This will be the two people picked up by the Han family's driver.

Heading straight to the party venue, which was being held in a villa, the attendees included fashion companies from both China and abroad, as well as executives and celebrities.

Many people came, and Lu Wanxing's arrival attracted a lot of attention.

She was wearing a mask, which only revealed her lips and somewhat rounded chin.

Even with a mask on, the aura she exuded still made everyone wonder which wealthy family's wife she was.

However, since no one knew each other, no one came up to say hello.

However, some people recognized Lin Qiao. Seeing that she was a female celebrity in the entertainment industry, they immediately guessed that she might be a friend or something.
