Chapter 1252: Chapter 1251: Playing the Lute to a Cow Chapter 1252: Chapter 1251: Playing the Lute to a Cow Bai Lan was momentarily stunned by his words, then took a closer look at him, and found his expression serious and his gaze steady, not wavering.

He didn’t seem to be lying.

“Su Qian is the National Goddess–you didn’t know?” Bai Lan’s voice drew out long.

Zhou Shengting furrowed his eyebrows and then shook his head.

“What does it have to do with me? And how could she be more beautiful than my darling?” Zhou Shengting said earnestly.

Bai Lan couldn’t help but burst out laughing, incredulous, feeling like the sun was about to rise from the west.

This man could now speak sweet nothings.

“But isn’t she the spokesperson for your company?” Bai Lan asked somewhat nonchalantly.

Zhou Shengting knitted his eyebrows, thinking hard for a moment. It seemed that day he recalled a woman being chosen as the spokesperson for a subsidiary.

The advertising department was in charge of that; he wasn’t involved, just happened upon it.

He had no clear memory of what that woman looked like.

If Bai Lan hadn’t specifically mentioned her now, he wouldn’t have remembered at all.

“I haven’t paid much attention, the people below are in charge of following up,” Zhou Shengting said. “Why do you bring her up? Do you know her?”

Zhou Shengting didn’t spend much effort worrying about these things.

After all, they didn’t have anything to do with him.

If he had that time, wouldn’t he rather spend it caring more about his darling and child?

“I don’t know her, but I heard corporate gossip that she admires you a lot,” Bai Lan teased.

“Nonsense, does the company now employ so many idlers? They have time to chat and gossip.”

Zhou Shengting reproached, looking like it was time for some strict management.

They even dared to jest about him.

What was more important was that Bai Lan overheard it, and now that she was pregnant, she was more sensitive. If something went wrong, he would make sure they regretted it seriously.

“Okay, I was just joking. Don’t take it too seriously,” Bai Lan said, genuinely worried he might reprimand the staff.

Zhou Shengting’s expression was still rather dark.

The meal was served quickly, and Bai Lan’s attention was immediately captured by the delicious aromas of the food.

She had completely forgotten the previous conversation, devouring the food as if she hadn’t eaten for days.

One couldn’t blame her manner of eating; she was truly famished. Since becoming pregnant, her appetite had increased tremendously.

After eating, when they returned home and Bai Lan was changing her clothes, she suddenly noticed that her waistline had expanded. Startled, she called out, “Sheng Ting, come here.”

In the living room, Zhou Shengting got a shock, thinking something had happened, and quickly returned to the room to see Bai Lan standing before the mirror in her underwear.

His gaze immediately heated up.

“Why, when you call me in here, is it because you want…” Zhou Shengting walked over and said suggestively.

Bai Lan rolled her eyes at him, knowing exactly what was on his mind.

“No, stop your dirty thoughts. I wanted to say I’ve gained a lot of weight. Look, I don’t even have a waistline anymore,” Bai Lan said despondently.

She couldn’t even bear to look at herself; it was truly frightful.

She was only just pregnant and had a long pregnancy ahead…

Bai Lan really didn’t dare to think about it.

Zhou Shengting actually pretty much couldn’t understand women’s feelings; he thought it was fine. “Where have you gotten fat? I actually think you look a bit thin,” he said.

Bai Lan rolled her eyes at him, feeling like she was casting pearls before swine.

Well, she might as well give up.

She guessed they would never quite see eye to eye in their lifetimes.
