After getting off work, Lu Wanling packed her things and walked out of the office with Mei Yaqin.

When they ran into some colleagues, the two greeted each other naturally as usual.

Then some female colleagues would walk with Lu Wanling and Mei Yaqin.

This evening, as we were walking and chatting together, a female colleague suddenly looked Lu Wanling up and down and asked curiously, "Sister Ling, have you gained weight recently?"

These words instantly made Lu Wanling the center of attention among her colleagues.

Lu Wanling felt a sense of fear as everyone stared at her.

However, she quickly calmed down, looked down at herself, and then looked up with a helpless and even somewhat sad expression, saying, "I've gained weight again. I didn't notice it when the weather was cool, but recently it's been hot and I've been wearing less and less clothing, so I've realized that I've really gained a lot of weight."

When Lu Wanling said that, her colleagues all laughed.

Another female colleague said, "Wanling looks great now. She can't be called fat; she looks prosperous. That's a sign of good fortune."

Upon hearing this, Mei Yaqin said, "Of course she's well-off! Wanling's husband is a big boss now, so of course he's fattening her up."

Lu Wanling immediately patted Mei Yaqin and said, "Sister Mei, why are you making fun of me too?"

Then Lu Wanling added, "What kind of big boss is Haidong from our family? He just runs a small business and is always busy. He doesn't come home until very late at night."

Mei Yaqin and her female colleagues laughed after hearing this, and some of the younger female colleagues were also a little envious.

Mei Yaqin teased softly, "Is it because your husband is coming home later and later that you're feeling lonely and having trouble sleeping at night, Wanling?"

These words immediately surprised the female colleagues, but then they all burst into laughter.

Lu Wanling laughed and reached out to pull Mei Yaqin, saying, "Sister Mei, you're going too far. Are you showing off to us that your husband takes good care of you every night?"

Lu Wanling's words instantly created a somewhat ambiguous atmosphere among the female colleagues.

The older, married female colleagues all laughed and joined in the joke.

The young, unmarried female colleagues all blushed as they listened, too embarrassed to even interrupt, and could only listen and laugh along.

The laughter and chatter of a group of female colleagues naturally aroused the curiosity of other male colleagues.

When a male colleague, who was curious about this, came over to ask...

As a result, he was directly driven away by his older female colleagues.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way. This is a women's conversation. What are you men doing getting involved?"

"Exactly, what are these little kids listening to about women's topics?"

"If you come over and eavesdrop again, we won't be so polite."

Mei Yaqin went even further, saying, "Those old men, don't even think about coming over to eavesdrop. If you dare to come over, believe me, I'll slap you across the face!"

It must be said that Mei Yaqin is indeed quite fierce in many ways.

In addition, the other married and older female colleagues shared the same indignation, which naturally frightened the male colleagues so much that they dared not approach, even if they were curious.

They chatted for a while longer, and the topics they discussed were naturally restricted.

Fortunately, the people we talked to were all women, and most of them were married.

However, it made several unmarried young women blush with embarrassment.

In the past, Lu Wanling would definitely not have wanted to talk about this kind of topic, but now that she's talking about it, people are no longer focusing on whether she's fat or not, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, Lu Wanling is now almost five months pregnant, and her belly has already started to show.

Fortunately, Lu Wanling had prepared in advance. She had been eating a lot during this period, so her weight gain was not so obvious.

After chatting for a while, I noticed that several of the young girls seemed a bit embarrassed.

Lu Wanling said, "Alright, alright, look at all of you, talking about this in public. It makes the young lady embarrassed. How about this, I'll treat everyone to crayfish tonight?"

Upon hearing that Lu Wanling was going to treat everyone, all the older female colleagues immediately agreed.

"Great! I've never eaten at Wanling's restaurant before."

"I went there for dinner last weekend, and it was really crowded in the evening."

"Yes, I went there on a weekend last time, and there were so many people eating there in the evening. If Sister Ling hadn't been there and had her husband arrange a table for us, we probably would have had to wait a long time."

Several of my young female colleagues also wanted to try it.

Mei Yaqin concluded with a smile, "Since everyone wants to go, let's go together. We're going to make sure Wanling has a good meal tonight."

Lu Wanling said, "It's okay, go ahead and eat. Eat as much as you want, and let Haidong of our family pay the bill."

At this point, an older female colleague joked, "Wanling, can you make that decision? Don't let your husband scold you when you get home tonight, or we'll be in big trouble."

The young female colleague asked with some concern, "Sister Ling, why don't we chip in the money?"

Hearing her young female colleague say this, Lu Wanling laughed and said, "Don't listen to my nonsense. I'm the one in charge in my family. How dare your brother-in-law talk back to me? Go ahead and eat. It's on me tonight."

Mei Yaqin added, "Yes, yes, don't worry, your brother-in-law spoils your sister Ling."

So Lu Wanling and a group of female colleagues left the office and headed towards Feng Haidong's crayfish restaurant.

Although Lu Wanling and her colleagues got off work relatively early, when they arrived at the restaurant, they found that several tables were already occupied inside, and there were still some people choosing shrimp at the entrance.

Seeing so many people, my colleagues were also quite surprised.

Two female colleagues, especially those visiting for the first time, exclaimed, "So many people? Business must be booming!"

Mei Yaqin said, "So now you know who to curry favor with at work, right? You should curry favor with Lu Wanling, she's the boss's wife now."

Lu Wanling lightly tapped Mei Yaqin again, then said to her colleagues, "Don't listen to Sister Mei's nonsense. Don't be fooled by the large number of people; the prices we're selling at aren't high. We still owe the bank loans, and we don't even know if we can make it to the end of the year."

After Lu Wanling said that, several of her young female colleagues became somewhat worried.

"Sister Ling, your family is really amazing to dare to take out a loan from the bank."

"Yes, having a loan can put a lot of pressure on people."

The other female colleagues also felt sorry for Lu Wanling at this time, and couldn't help but worry about her repayment of the loan.

Lu Wanling said, "There's nothing we can do. The business has already started, so we can only keep going. We can only try our best. It's just that my husband Feng Haidong is really having a tough time right now."

After saying this, Lu Wanling smiled and greeted everyone: "Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Although things are still a bit tough right now, I can still treat everyone to a crayfish feast. Let's go in quickly, otherwise there really won't be any seats left. Don't worry, everyone, eat more and have a good time."

When Lu Wanling smiled, her colleagues smiled too, temporarily putting aside their other matters, and stepped into the crayfish restaurant with her.
