Chapter 753 A Male

Unedited

.....

After the meeting, the brothers immediately left with Athalia. With the second attack, this is already something that Lily expected. With a huge smile on her face, Lily continued with her day as if nothing happened. Of course, she also did not fail to inform the board about the current situation with the Corneel's company.

The attack was something that even Mr. Rossi did not expect. However, not one of her executives doubted Lily or thought that she was involved in this incident. These executives had been with Lily since she started working for her grandmother. Everyone already knew how, just like her grandmother, Lily would never do an underhanded scheme like harming someone else's business.

However, all this does not matter to Lily. First and foremost, the only reason why she was considering the deal is that she owed it to her subordinates. The money that the company will give them is something that she cannot refuse. Attacking the company behind everyone's back may be underhanded, but if one would think about it, Lily is doing this for her own peace. She already felt that someone was wrong with this company, however, she could not prove it. So, she dealt with it using a way that would not make her look suspicious.

Unpredictability.

That is something that she wanted to uphold above everything else.

At exactly five in the afternoon, Lily left the office to grab some of her favorite golden leaf donuts before she went to see Zhou Jingren. "Mother!" Lily exclaimed when she saw Zhou Dae Un sitting opposite to Jingren. She beamed. "How come you didn't inform me that you are coming? I would have bought more of these donuts." She immediately gave the boxes of donuts to Secretary Go so he could prepare it for everyone.

Zhou Dae Un's eyes instantly turned gentle as she went to hug Lily. "Jingren said you are trying to limit your sugar intake." She kissed Lily's cheeks before she went back to her seat.

"I counted everything. My calorie intake as well as my sugar. I should be good for the day." Lily gave a childish grin. "A person — A pregnant woman who lacks sugar is bad too." If there's a will, there's a way, she thought inwardly while beaming. "Clearly, the doctor said that I can have sweets just not too much."

"You bought three boxes of donuts." Zhou Jingren said, frowning. "Three dozens of donuts."

"It's for you and your secretary." Lily rebutted. "What a stingy boss. I am thinking about your employees and you. This is not just for myself."

This interaction immediately made Zhou Dae Un laugh. "Aiyo… Jingren… don't worry, I will get a box and bring it at home so your father can have a taste of this — what was that again?"

"It's a golden leaf donut," Lily answered. "My favorites. So… you are not staying? Why don't you stay for the night? You and father… I don't think you have spent a lot of time in the mansion with us."

A sigh escaped Zhou Dae Un's lips. "We are so busy these days. Your father — that man is working closely with his cousin for the company while I am taking care of things in Korea and Japan. We rarely see each other these days." She looked at her son and gave him a brilliant smile. "Before coming back, your father and I used to joke how everything will surely change once we reveal ourselves to the world. We expected late nights and a lot of meetings. Well… not seeing each other for days is clearly not one of our plans. But we could not help it."

"Everything has a price, mother," Lily uttered as she eyed the hot tea that Secretary Go served her together with one donut. "Managing a business is difficult." While Zhou Jingren's father is managing their own family business, Zhou Dae Un is also taking care of her family business in Korea. However, Lily had no idea about any business that they had in Japan. "Are you perhaps planning to branch out in Japan?" she asked.

"Oh! No… I am taking care of— "

"My adoptive parent's clan." Zhou Jingren answered. "Tanaka's."

Lily nodded as she made a mental note to ask Yang Mi about this specific clan later.

"Yes, the Tanaka's," Zhou Dae Un sigh. "It's a long story. To be honest… I almost had no energy today. I slept for two hours on the plane from Korea and I am still exhausted. But I have not seen Jingren in weeks… so I dropped by before going back to China. Also… I was hoping to have your permission for a gender reveal party. I mean… you two already know the gender right?"

"Jingren thinks it's a son." Lily pouted "Personally… I don't want to know, but he is starting to call my baby, he." Clearly, Zhou Jingren wanted to have a daughter. So why would he say that it's a son? When he clearly wanted a daughter?

"Why would you say that it's a male?" Zhou Dae Un eyed her son. "Did you ask the doctor? When is the next ultrasound schedule?"

"We told the doctor not to tell us anything," Lily said before she glared at her husband. "Now that you mention it… I think… someone must have cheated and asked the doctor."

"What?" Zhou Jingren chuckled. "No! I didn't cheat."

"Then… why are you so certain that it's a male?"

"I was not sure, alright?" he countered. "It's just that… Your hobbies are weird. If we are having a daughter, it would be reasonable for you to love feminine things, no?"

"That's not how it works." Zhou Dae Un giggled when she heard her son's words. "Where did this reasoning come from?"

"That is very logical reasoning." During her pregnancy, Lily had been very scheming, short-tempered, and very manipulative. She even went as far as learning to shoot. She had been really strong and is just being an alpha. To him, this is a sign that they are having a male son. Was that really wrong to think based on logic?
