"Brother Jin has finally decided to let you out?"
Xiao Yao looked up and saw Gu Yueji walk into the office. She stood up in surprise and then teased him with a smile.
Gu Yueji felt a little embarrassed because Ren Jin had heard from the doctor that the first three months of pregnancy were unstable, so he forbade her from driving to the factory by herself until the baby was three months old. Ren Jin had originally planned to drive her here today, but he couldn't leave the construction site, so he repeatedly told her to drive slowly.
"You've really worked hard these past few months. You don't need to share the profits with me," Gu Yueji said.
Xiao Yao gave her a disdainful look. "Come on, do you think you can tell me so clearly?"
Gu Yueji is still wearing her old clothes. She is still as slim as ever, but her slightly protruding belly can be seen through the close-fitting dress.
Xiao Yao, having no experience, looked at her belly and asked, "How many months pregnant are you?"
Gu Yueji touched her belly. "I'm 15 weeks along, almost 16 weeks."
Xiao Yao was surprised, "It's already been 4 months?"
Gu Yueji looked down, her face full of maternal smiles. "Yes, the due date is at the end of October."
Wow, that's fast!
Gu Yueji sighed, "Get well soon, I've already lost weight from all the stress he's put on me in just four months."
Xiao Yao looked her up and down. "Yeah, everyone else gains weight when they're pregnant, how come you've lost weight?"
"I had severe morning sickness a while ago, and it's only gotten a little better this month, but I still don't feel like eating much."
No one around Xiao Yao had ever been pregnant before, and she didn't know that pregnancy was so difficult. "This little one is so troublesome!"
"Yeah, I really have a love-hate relationship with him." Gu Yueji gently patted her belly, thinking that with his troublesome behavior, his personality was probably just like his father's.
"Let's not talk about the kids. Didn't you say you were making a sample of the trendy design you created today? How's it going? Is the sample finished yet? I came here today to admire your finished product."
Xiao Yao thought of something, looked up at the door, and said, "They're out. Wait a moment, someone will go down to the production workshop to get it."
Gu Yueji was puzzled. Xiao Yao usually went to the workshop herself, so why did she send someone else to get the samples for her today?
However, before she could voice her doubts, a male voice came from outside, "Yaoyao, I've brought the sample back for you."
Gu Yueji smiled as soon as she heard the voice, and when she turned around, she saw Zhong Xuyang carrying clothes as he walked in from outside.
He was dressed in an expensive shirt, watch, and leather shoes, but in his hands was a pile of colorful women's clothing. He didn't find it incongruous at all, and was smiling at Xiao Yao as if he wanted to take credit.
He opened his mouth as if to say something, but stopped when he saw Gu Yueji suddenly appear in the office.
Gu Yueji smiled at Zhong Xuyang, and seeing his hardworking and conscientious appearance, she couldn't help but tease him, "Oh, it's you. Seeing is believing, our handsome and capable free male worker."
After realizing what was happening, Zhong Xuyang smiled back generously and greeted her with "Hello, Boss Gu." He also responded with high emotional intelligence, "It's my honor to work for free under the two beautiful bosses."
Because Xiao Yao had always praised Zhong Xuyang, Gu Yueji had a good impression of him since college—sunny, cheerful, upright, and devoted. However, he had a girlfriend then, and she felt sorry for Xiao Yao. Now, seeing that he had finally fallen in love with Xiao Yao, and that her good friend was finally getting her wish, Gu Yueji was exceptionally happy.
Her gaze darted back and forth between Zhong Xuyang and Xiao Yao. "With such a sweet tongue, it seems you're on the verge of victory."
It's very important to gain the approval of the best friend of the person you like. Zhong Xuyang smiled broadly and said, "Thank you, Boss Gu. I hope to be honored by your kind words."
Xiao Yao glared at the two of them, who were acting out a charade right in front of her. "Can you guys stop treating me like I'm deaf and dumb?"
After she finished speaking, Gu Yueji and Zhong Xuyang laughed even more heartily, and Xiao Yao couldn't help but laugh as well.
Gu Yueji came here not only to see Xiao Yao's popular online styles, but also to check on the production status of her couple's styles.
Last month, the couple's style was officially launched on the online store. On the same day, Gu Jiahui and Sun Xiaohui tried on and showcased the couple's style for the first time in the live broadcast room. The couple's style was more popular than they expected. The first batch of pre-orders has been sold out. The factory is currently producing the second batch of pre-orders.
Gu Yueji calculated that if the online store could maintain this level of turnover, she could earn back the cost of starting the factory within six months.
In fact, the money Ren Jin deposited into her bank account every month was more than enough for her to run the factory, but she never used the money in the account for the factory. Emotionally, she depended on Ren Jin, and she felt that she and Ren Jin were one, but she still hoped that their businesses would be separate. Moreover, she knew that Ren Jin's construction site would cost too much money, so she wanted to save the money for a rainy day.
Just as I was thinking about someone, that person called.
"Honey, are you still at the factory?"
Gu Yueji thought Ren Jin was urging her to go home early. "I'm still at the factory. I'll discuss the trendy product with Yao Yao for a while longer, and then I'll go back. I promise you I'll be home before dark, okay?"
Ren Jin unexpectedly said, "Don't worry, I called a car that's taking me to the factory now. I'll pick you up later and we'll drive home together. Don't drive yourself, okay?"
Gu Yueji exclaimed, "You're here?"
"Yes, I'm on my way. I'm still worried about you driving yourself, so you can wait for me at the factory."
Gu Yueji smiled softly to herself, thinking that this man had already taken on the role of a father ahead of time, treating her like a child.
When Ren Jin arrived at the factory, it was almost dinnertime. Xiao Yao suggested that the four of them go out for dinner together. Gu Yueji thought it was a good idea, since Ren Jin hadn't met Zhong Xuyang yet.
