The hotel where the Viper stayed was a high - class one. The hotel staff were used to seeing foreign guests like him. Although the Viper didn't seem very friendly and was rather cold, and he even brought two men in black with him, looking dangerous no matter how you saw it, but after all, the customer was God. Even if he was dangerous, he was still their guest.
"Here's your room card, sir." The receptionist said in standard American English.
After taking the room card, the Viper walked straight into the elevator.
He had booked the presidential suite on the top floor of the hotel. The two men behind him handed the luggage to the Viper and then obediently stood guard at the door of the presidential suite.
The Viper took a look around the Chinese - style presidential suite. It was okay, but he didn't quite like the layout. However, the location was good. He could see the night view of City T from the floor - to - ceiling window.
"Not a bad city." The Viper murmured to himself. Then he poured himself a glass of red wine at the bar. Standing in front of the floor - to - ceiling window, looking at the bustling traffic below, he felt quite pleased.
Right, it was time for him to make some contacts with the local underworld forces.
...
Su Yuze would often stare at Su Rou's belly these days because her belly was starting to show. Although it was still not very obvious, since Su Yuze was always with her, he could surely notice it.
"Xiaorou'er, does your belly seem bigger?" Currently, the thing Su Yuze liked most was to record Su Rou's pregnancy process.
"I don't think so." Su Rou looked down at her belly. Maybe because she saw it every day, she didn't notice any difference.
Su Yuze gently touched her belly and said for sure, "It is bigger."
"Does that mean the baby is developing healthily?" Su Rou asked.
"Yeah."
"Actually, sometimes I really want to know if it's a boy or a girl."
"If you want to know, we can ask the hospital to do a gender test during the next prenatal check - up." Although the hospital didn't advocate this, if the family insisted, it wasn't difficult to find some connections to know the gender.
Moreover, he didn't have the thought of preferring sons over daughters. He even hoped for a daughter, a daughter just like Xiaorou'er. He would love her very much.
Su Rou thought about it. This proposal was really tempting. But... "Let's not do it. We'll know in ten months." This could also be a surprise for them!
"Okay."
Aunt Wang brought the dishes to the table. Seeing the soon - to - be parents staring at the belly, she looked at them amusedly. "Young master, young miss, it's time for dinner."
"Okay."
Su Yuze helped Su Rou stand up. "Come on, let's go have dinner." Now Su Yuze attached great importance to meals. He wouldn't let Su Rou miss a single meal.
Looking at the dishes in front of her, Su Rou had a great appetite. Su Yuze kept picking up dishes for her. "Eat more."
Aunt Wang also lovingly looked at Su Rou. The food she cooked was all Su Rou's favorites. Su Yuze didn't even need to consider it. Besides, Su Yuze wasn't picky about food. He could eat anything. The most important thing was seeing Su Rou eating so happily. That made him feel content.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Aunt Wang quickly put down the rag. "I'll go open it."
When the door opened, it was Liu Rulan. She looked a bit embarrassed at Su Yuze and Su Rou who were having dinner. "Uh, you haven't had dinner yet?" It was almost seven o'clock. Why were they just having dinner?
Originally, Liu Rulan planned to come to find Su Yuze at this time, but in this situation...
"Obviously." Su Yuze actually didn't like being disturbed when they were alone.
Su Rou also stopped eating. She looked at Su Yuze and then at Liu Rulan. "Auntie, do you have something to talk about?"
"Um..."
Just as Liu Rulan was about to speak, she heard Su Yuze say, "Xiaorou'er, eat first."
"Yes, you eat first. Don't mind me." Liu Rulan wasn't an unwise person. After hearing Su Yuze's words, she immediately said, "I... I'll wait for you in the living room."
Seeing her walk directly into the living room, Aunt Wang looked at Su Yuze in surprise for a moment. Su Yuze nodded slightly, and Aunt Wang took the order to go and pour tea for Liu Rulan. Su Yuze continued to pick up dishes for Su Rou. "Xiaorou'er, don't look over there. Eat well."
The living room wasn't far from the dining room. Su Rou poked her rice bowl with chopsticks and whispered, "Is she here to ask you for money?"
"Most likely."
"Does she have to come to our home for it?" Su Rou couldn't understand.
"Heh..." Su Yuze gave a soft laugh. "Don't mind her. You just eat. I'll handle this."
"Okay."
Liu Rulan sat in the living room. Without Su Yuze's permission, she didn't dare to turn on the TV casually. So she could only sit there with the tea in her hand, in a daze. Occasionally, she could hear some soft conversations from the dining room, which made her feel really uncomfortable. Su Yuze only spoke to Su Rou so gently. To others, he was like an iceberg.
There were only two of them, but why did they take so long to eat? It seemed that Su Yuze was always picking up dishes for Su Rou and persuading her to eat more... Still eating? Was Su Rou becoming a glutton?
When Liu Rulan finished her third glass of water, Su Rou walked into the living room, picked up a sky - blue water cup on the tea table and started to drink water. Liu Rulan looked at her. Finally, they were done eating. "Xiaorou, you have a really good appetite."
Su Rou glanced at her. "Is Auntie complimenting me?" But why did it seem like there was something else in her words?
"Hehe, yes. You used to have a very small appetite." Liu Rulan said with a smile. "And you seem to have gained a bit of weight..." Saying this, Liu Rulan's eyes glanced at Su Rou's abdomen, with a trace of inquiry and certainty in them. She was already the mother of two children. If she couldn't tell this, she would have been a failure as a mother.
Was Su Rou pregnant?!
"Xiaorou, are you..."
After Su Rou finished drinking water, she turned around and walked up the stairs. "Auntie, talk to Brother Ze. I won't bother you."
"Ah, okay..."
Su Yuze watched her go up the stairs and gently reminded her, "Be careful."
"I know. You go." Su Rou smiled at him.
Liu Rulan sat on the sofa, watching Su Yuze walk over slowly and sit opposite her. "Have you discussed it with Su Hongyu?"
"Yes." Liu Rulan nodded. A sense of helplessness welled up in her heart because of this decision. Su Hongyu almost broke off with her.
