The sun had completely set, but the island in the middle of the lake was brightly lit.
As Shen Muzhi approached, he saw that Xiang Zhilan was sitting opposite him with Han Shizhao, Ye Jinyan, and Rong Shaoan. She even had a smile on her lips, which was nothing like the coldness she showed when she was facing him.
We argued over such a trivial matter this afternoon, and she left without even telling him. Now she's smiling at other men.
Although he already knew from his mother that arranging a blind date was just a test for Zhi Lan, Han Shizhao and the other two had no idea about it.
But Xiang Zhilan is still in a misunderstanding. She's smiling so brightly. Does she really think that Xiang Zhilan is choosing a husband right now?
"Muzhi, it's been a long time." Ye Jinyan and the other two greeted Shen Muzhi.
Xiang Zhilan was stunned. She didn't expect that the three of them seemed to be very familiar with Shen Muzhi. She originally thought that Shen Muzhi only knew Ye Jinyan at most.
She belatedly realized something was wrong. All three of them were friends with Shen Muzhi, so how could they possibly be going on blind dates with her? So all of this was just a joke by Bo Qingyun.
She even used this incident to anger Shen Muzhi. Now that she thinks about it, she was probably just a joke in his eyes. Who would be stupid enough to accept a pregnant woman on a blind date?
Seeing that the two of them were being awkward and ignoring each other, Ni Sitian got up and gave him her seat, bringing them together.
"Zhi Lan, you don't seem to have gained any weight." Fu Wenwen held her face and said to Xiang Zhi Lan with a troubled expression, "I've already gained seven or eight pounds."
Ni Sitian smiled and looked at the two of them; it was indeed quite obvious.
“You gave birth a month earlier, so it’s normal to be a little chubby. You can lose weight after you give birth,” Xiang Zhilan said with a slight smile.
"You're so lucky, giving birth to twins at once, how efficient is that?" Fu Wenwen was extremely envious ever since she learned that Xiang Zhilan was pregnant with twins.
Xiang Zhilan smiled and asked about her medical examination. The two then chatted enthusiastically.
Unable to get a word in edgewise about the pregnancy, Ni Sitian looked towards Xu Jiayue, who was chatting happily with Ye Jinyan, while Pei Yang was handling three people by himself and getting along very well with Xu Jiayue's friends.
Han Shizhao, Rong Shaoan, and Shen Muzhi were talking about topics she couldn't understand, like guns and weapons.
Xu Tingchuan and Gu Chen talked about a recent breach of contract by a partner company, and Xu wanted to entrust Gu with handling the matter.
Ni Sitian had arranged the gathering herself, but she was all alone and no one paid any attention to her, so she had to fan herself and grill food for everyone.
"Why aren't you chatting with Zhilan and the others?" Xu Tingchuan came over and helped her grill something.
“They were talking about their pregnancy experiences, but I’m not pregnant,” Ni Sitian said casually, then immediately realized her mistake and quickly tried to salvage the situation: “That’s not what I meant, and I don’t really want to get pregnant.”
Xu Tingchuan put his arm around her shoulder and patted her gently, then lowered his head to focus on grilling. He knew how envious she was of Xiang Zhilan and the others being pregnant; in fact, it wasn't that she was completely unable to get pregnant.
The prerequisite is that he first tells her the truth: she is the one who is infertile, and he is not. Then they try various methods.
He had read some information and knew that the treatment process was not easy, that it might not be cured, and that the psychological pressure might even lead to depression. He couldn't bear to see Ni Sitian suffer.
But she wanted to get pregnant so badly, shouldn't he trust her a little more? Maybe she's strong enough to handle this outcome.
He's been thinking about this a lot lately, but he can't seem to make up his mind. He's worried that she'll be upset, blame herself, and won't be able to handle it.
