Chapter 1204: You Look Perfect

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The third branch of Sister Hua’s Gourmet Shop had just opened to considerable fanfare.

Naturally, Gong Xin had arranged for two of the biggest and most outrageously extravagant floral baskets money could buy. And since the office was unusually quiet that afternoon, she didn’t hesitate to take the opportunity to slip away.

With the blessing of her bemused supervisor, she was off on a mission to see her beloved soul sister, Gu Zi.

It had been over six months since they’d last laid eyes on each other, and when Gong Xin finally caught sight of Gu Zi again, she was momentarily stunned into silence.

"Gu Zi!" she gasped, blinking in disbelief. "What exactly have you been eating in the capital? You’ve... ballooned!"

Gu Zi rolled her eyes at her friend’s characteristic lack of a filter and gave her a once-over of her own.

Gong Xin, with her now-long hair and a touch of understated makeup, exuded a newfound femininity—softer, more elegant. There was less of the tomboyish energy, and in its place, a quiet maturity. She looked like a woman on the cusp of romance—or perhaps already deep in it. Plumper, fairer, and glowing... it was obvious someone had been feeding her well. No doubt, Jin Long’s doing.

Feigning solemnity, Gu Zi lowered her gaze to her rounded belly and murmured in a mock-conspiratorial tone, "Baby, remember this moment well. Auntie Gong Xin can’t even recognize you when you’re in the womb. When you’re born, don’t bother recognizing her either, all right?"

The words hit Gong Xin like a thunderclap. She suddenly remembered—Jin Long had mentioned something about Gu Zi being pregnant! She squealed with glee, her eyes lighting up as she turned to Gu Zi’s belly like it was a holy relic.

"There’s a little one in there?! Oh my God—of course I recognize you, sweet baby! Auntie Gong Xin will buy you every toy under the sun, you hear me? Every last one!"

Gu Zi couldn’t help laughing, "All right, all right. Enough fooling around. But tell me—what made you drop everything and come running? Don’t tell me it’s just to see me?"

Gong Xin shot her a mischievous smile. "You know me too well. Of course I missed you, but... I’ve also got some delicious gossip. About your dear adoptive father, Gu Shan. Want to hear it?"

Gu Zi leaned back lazily. "Let me guess. Gu Shan has an illegitimate son. The child is with Li Li. And now Gu Shan’s divorcing Zhang Mei and backstabbing Lin Miao so he can clear the way for Li Li and the love child to move in?"

Gong Xin made a dramatic face, sulking as she cracked open a sunflower seed. "Ugh, you ruin everything. How do you always guess the punchline? There’s no fun in telling you things!"

In truth, it wasn’t exactly a mystery. Gu Shan had been entangled with Li Li for quite a while, and the moment she got pregnant, he’d been itching to dump Zhang Mei. The only reason he hadn’t was because Zhang Mei had stubbornly refused to sign the papers. That woman, honestly—how had she not seen the storm brewing? How could she not have taken precautions? freewebnσvel.cѳm
