Ji Xiaosong walked out of the supply and marketing co-op, grocery basket in hand, as the warm sun washed over her.
She touched her still-flat belly, a smile unconsciously gracing her lips.
'Triplets...'
Xu Weidong said he was "just guessing," but she knew for a fact it was true.
Just as she was lost in thought, a sharp voice cut through the air from behind her.
"Well, if it isn't Ji Xiaosong."
Ji Xiaosong stopped in her tracks and slowly turned around.
Ji Hongmei stood a few steps away, dressed in a brand-new blue work uniform. Her hair was impeccably styled, and her lips were painted a garish red.
She looked Ji Xiaosong up and down, her gaze finally settling on her stomach. Her eyes were as cold and venomous as a viper's.
"I heard you're pregnant?" Ji Hongmei forced a smile. "Congratulations."
Ji Xiaosong's eyes narrowed, but she put on a simple, guileless smile. "That's right. My Weidong is just so happy about it."
