Iris sighed, inwardly agreeing with Dom's sentiment despite his dramatic way of expressing it. Her hand subconsciously rubbed her stomach. By next year, she would be giving birth to her and Jin Liwei's twin babies. Indeed, time flew by so fast.

There wasn't really much to rehearse for the wedding so they wrapped up everything by lunch time. Iris and Jin Liwei also didn't require everything to be absolutely perfect. What they both wanted was for all of them to be happy on their wedding day. This was the most important to both of them.

In addition, with a toddler like Little Jun and also the cats participating in the wedding who might or might not be in the mood to perform their very simple assigned tasks, expecting absolute perfection was out of question. There was no way Iris and Jin Liwei would force the children to do something that they didn't want to do. However, the couple still hoped that Little Jun and the cats would at least be in a good mood on the actual wedding day.

Later, the couple and their friends were at a lounge room where a buffet-style lunch had been prepared for them. Little Jun and the cats joined them again.

"How about the wedding planner and the workers?" Iris asked the butler. "Do they have lunch, too?"

"Yes, Mistress. Please don't worry. They are also enjoying a sumptuous buffet right now."

"Good. Thanks for the hard work."

The butler bowed before withdrawing and quietly instructing the other household staff on what to do next.

Iris sat on the farthest seat from the buffet table while waiting for Jin Liwei to get some food for her. Lin Yehan and Yu Mo, the only ones who still didn't know that she was pregnant, noticed this but didn't comment. The two of them only thought that their third brother's level of pampering towards his wife increased another level. He wouldn't even allow Iris to get her own food anymore.

Finally, Jin Liwei returned carrying two plates in each hand. He approached Iris in a slow and careful manner which baffled Lin Yehan and Yu Mo. Those who knew about the pregnancy pretended that everything was normal but also observed the scene.

When Jin Liwei was about a metre away from Iris, he asked, "Are these foods alright?"

She didn't answer right away. "I think so."

It was only then that he sat beside her and gave her one of the plates.

Lin Yehan and Yu Mo looked at one another. Lin Yehan was frowning while Yu Mo just shrugged. Then something happened that made them both shocked.

Iris pushed the plate back to Jin Liwei, covered her mouth, and started to run away. Chen Fei who was sitting near her reacted the quickest. She grabbed a wide-rimmed decorative vase and shoved it in front of Iris who already began vomiting. Jin Liwei was at her side in the next second while Wang Yingjie also stepped forward to monitor her.

Just like before, she didn't really vomit much of anything. However, the rolling heaves of her body were powerful and when she was finished, she was completely exhausted. Jin Liwei carried her to the powder room to refresh herself. Wang Yingjie followed them but didn't enter, waiting outside the door instead.

"W-what?" Yu Mo looked at everyone who didn't look surprised.

Lin Yehan looked like he realized something but kept his mouth shut for now. [This novel is a contracted work with W e b n o v e l . c o m (remove spaces).

When Iris, Jin Liwei and Wang Yingjie returned, Yu Mo ran to them.

"What happened?! Are you sick?!"

Jin Liwei looked at Iris who nodded at him before addressing Lin Yehan and Yu Mo. "Eldest Brother, Fourth Brother, Xiulan is pregnant."

"WHAT?!!!" Yu Mo looked absolutely shocked.

On the other hand, Lin Yehan gave the couple a gentle smile and shook their hands. "Congratulations to both of you! I'm so happy!"

"Thank you, Eldest Brother."

Then Lin Yehan looked around. "It seems that everyone here already knows about it except for me and Fourth Brother."

Jin Liwei explained to him how the others came to know about it.

Lin Yehan patted his shoulder. "Don't worry, Third Brother. I'm not resentful or anything like that. I was just genuinely curious about how the others know about it already."

"Xiao Xiu, you're really pregnant?!" Yu Mo asked after recovering a bit from his shock.

She nodded.

"So that's why you haven't been attending our Systema classes! Only Dom does!"

"I'll attend our classes again when my pregnancy becomes more stable."

Jin Liwei frowned.

"Huh? No way!" Yu Mo shook his hands and backed away from her. "Give birth to my niece or nephew first before you return. If something happens to you on my watch, Third Bro will murder me!"

She sighed, not bothering to reply. Wang Yingjie urged her to eat something. In the end, she could only stomach the soup and some of the steamed vegetables.

Throughout lunch, there were different conversations happening at the same time. Jin Chonglin and Chen Fei were in a serious discussion about his men's line. Sometimes Iris and Long Jinjing would join them if their opinions were sought. However, most of the conversations revolved around the upcoming wedding and everyone's excitement for it.

"Nikolai, would you like some more beer?" Long Jinjing asked in a soft voice where they were sitting together to the side.

Iris, with her great hearing, heard what Long Jinjing said. Her eyes contracted.

"What's wrong, love?" Jin Liwei asked after noticing her unusual reaction.

She whispered to him what she heard. His eyes widened and he also looked at the direction of Lu Zihao and Long Jinjing. Lu Zihao noticed their attention and also looked back at them with a raised eyebrow.

"We'll talk later to your brother," Jin Liwei told Iris. "You can ask him about it by then."

"Okay." She felt curious about why Jin Liwei wanted the three of them to talk again but given what happened last weekend, perhaps he had new questions that he wanted to ask her and her brother.

Then she remembered something. "By the way, where's the person that you want to introduce to me?"
