Lu Shaoting held her hand and led her out of the restaurant.

As usual, he opened the car door for her, cautiously helped her onto the car seat and sat beside her, holding her. He contemplated for a while before fastening the seat belt for her.

Then he asked the chauffeur to drive off.

Su Ling watched his actions silently.

Ever since she got pregnant, Lu Shaoting had become overly cautious.

She had wanted to remind him before that she was only a few weeks pregnant. Besides, she was already careful enough and nothing could possibly happen to their baby. But looking at how he put his heart in making her comfortable, and how happy he was to do it, she couldn't bring herself to break his heart by rejecting it.

She could only let him care for her with a warm heart. After the baby was born, she would make sure to be the best mother. But before that, she would be the best wife to him. He deserved the best of her.

When they arrived at the store, he once again stepped out first and helped her out. Then he held her hand and led her into the store.

Since it was a high end store, there were barely any people present.

As soon as they went in, they were recognized. "Second Master Lu, welcome. Second madam, please come in."

The manager lowered his voice while speaking to Su Ling, afraid that Lu Shaoting would be displeased by him calling her "second madam."

On the contrary, the man flashed a very happy smile. "Your boss previously mentioned that he needed an investment, tell him that I approved it."

The manager was stunned. Huh?

Just because he called Su Ling the second madam Lu, the store had maanged to get an investment from Lu Enterprises? The boss would be extremely pleased with him!

As for Su Ling, she liked the sound of this form of address so much that she did not wish to correct the manager.

It was not because the title came with power, it was because it meant that she was already half Lu Shaoting's wife.

Lu Shaoting gave the woman a sidelong glance and squeezed her hand a little. "Honey, when will we get married?"

Su Ling's face flushed and she avoided his gaze. He finally talked about this. "I don't know...if we were to get married before my belly got too big, it would be a bit rushed. Do you wish to wait until our child is born?"

Lu Shaoting had already given this a lot of thought. "I don't care if everyone else thinks our wedding is rushed. All that matters is what you feel about it."

"Then, can I think about it?"

"As you wish my love."

The couple went ahead to check for clothes and toys.

"How can you just put everything into the cart? We don't know whether our baby is a girl or a boy yet!" Su Ling exclaimed. She had only meant to look around. Why was Lu Shaoting going crazy with buying everything? Even girls were not this crazy while shopping!

Lu Shaoting saw an exceptionally beautiful doll. It was the most beautiful doll he had ever seen, the kind that every little girl would want to have. It was unique and the only one of its kind ever made. It had a head of thick brown hair that was wavy. Its eyes were so bright that they almost looked like they would come to life.

When Su Ling saw it, she was drawn to it as well. Which little girl wouldn't love such a doll?

Lu Shaoting picked it from its shelf with a smile. He would simply buy it. If their child was not a girl this time, who knew, the next one may be a girl.

Su Ling had the same thought. Though she wondered, if they never had a girl, what would happen to the doll? If they gave it to some other kid, it would be no different from giving to someone a rejected present.

"Daddy, I want the one with brown hair." A little girl's voice rang out as Lu Shaoting picked the doll.

"Oh...someone else took it first." Saying this, her voice sounded so pitiful that anyone's heart would ache for her. If she was a child who threw a tantrum and cried for the doll regardless, it would have been better. But this was one who knew that if someone else had it first, she could no longer get it.

It made Lu Shaoting's heart ache for her. To make it worse, it was a familiar voice.

"I'll get the creator to make you a similar one. How about that, princess?"

That was a familiar voice too.

Lu Shaoting turned and so did Su Ling. "Bro, you are here too."

Little Jia saw her uncle and her eyes lit up. She ran over with her short legs to hug his leg. "Second uncle, it's you! No wonder your back looked so familiar."

"Second aunty, hello."

Su Ling rubbed Little Jia's head, a smile appearing on her face unconciously. "Hello Little Jia. Have you come to buy toys with daddy?"

"Uh huh." Little Jia peered at the doll she had loved from a distance, the one that was now in her uncle's hands.

Who was second uncle buying the doll for? Could it be... Was it meant for her?

She really wanted to ask, but she couldn't.

After all, her second aunt was pregnant. It was possible that they already knew that their child was a girl, and the doll was for her little cousin.

Asking would make things awkward.

However, her remaining silent made Lu Shaoting feel even more awkward. This doll was for the daughter he really hoped for, and his niece liked it too. What to do, should he let his niece have it?
