Chen Lihua waved back at her two sisters-in-law with an excited smile on her face.

"Awww. Look at that smile. Sister-in-law, you look more mature now. In some week's time, we would all be welcoming you to motherhood." Liu Dongmei teased.

​​

This was indeed a habit of hers!

Chen Lihua smiled without saying anything.

"How are you Lihua?." Liu Huiling asked.

"I'm fine."

"How is the baby, and I hope it's not disturbing you a lot?." Liu Huiling asked.

"The baby is fine, just been giving me troubles all day." Chen Lihua replied with a smile on her face.

She didn't look like someone who was getting troubles from the baby.

"That's the way it is at this stage. The baby has few more weeks before it comes into this world, soon, you will be able to relax." Liu Huiling assured her.

"Lihua, can you let us in on the baby's gender? We are curious." Liu Dongmei asked as she smiled brightly.

"Sorry Sister Mei, but I can't tell you." Chen Lihua said, rejecting her politely. Then she continued.

"If you would like to know the baby's gender, you have to come for the baby shower next weekend."

"Hmmm! Alright, I will be there. But don't be surprised if I find out the baby's gender before then." Liu Dongmei said.

"Don't worry, I will not have any problem with it." Chen Lihua replied.

"Dongmei, I guess you have something to say to us, but I hope it has nothing to do with going to the club?." Liu Huiling reminded.

"Ah! I almost forgot about that. Yes, I have an important announcement to make, and No, no clubs this time around. Our wife is still heavily pregnant."

'Our wife?.' Chen Lihua thought 🤔 with question marks above her head.

"I have a whole plan drafted out for us. This summer, we are going to the Maldives to spend a weekend." Liu Dongmei revealed with an excited smile on her face.

"That's a nice plan!." Liu Huiling replied, seemingly interested.

"Wow! 😮 that will be great! But I think I will be an exception." Chen Lihua said as she glanced at her baby bump.

"Don't be in low spirit, you are coming. It's just a little getaway for us, away from our children and parents." Liu Dongmei said.

"Sister Ling, Sister Mei, don't you think the Maldives is too far? We can just use the pool in my house." Chen Lihua said suddenly.

If Liu Dongmei and Liu Huiling were together at this moment, they would have exchanged glances.

"Sister-in-law, don't be old-fashioned like my brother, we are going to the Maldives, and that's final." Liu Dongmei announced as Liu Huiling chuckled softly.

She was seriously having fun with this kind of conversation where has to see everyone's facial expression.

But then, she spoke up. "Lihua, Maldives is not far, so you don't have to worry about long-distance travel and the discomfort that comes with it especially in this condition."

"Sister Ling, I wouldn't mind traveling whether I'm pregnant or not. But the problem with this is that Longwei will not allow me to leave this City till I deliver our child." Chen Lihua revealed as she caressed her baby bump.

"That wouldn't be a problem. I'm sure he will do anything you ask of him." Liu Dongmei said while nodding.

"The case is different now. He doesn't agree to everything I request for." Chen Lihua complained.

That's true. Although Liu Longwei would do anything for her, that did not include risking her comfort.

He always weighed the pros and cons before making a decision.

"I don't think it would be difficult to convince him. You just have to whine like a child and charm him with your smile, he will certainly agree. And besides, he would be going for a long business trip soon. He can't afford to leave you in the house all by yourself." Liu Dongmei responded.

"That will be a little difficult. These days, I can't seem to charm or seduce him, it's not working. The baby seems to be more important in his life than I am." Chen Lihua said to them.

"Huh 😨 😕! Lihua, has your charms started failing? July do your best. You can wear a sexy nightdress and seduce him at night, I'm sure he will fall it." Liu Dongmei advised.

"What are you teaching her?." Liu Huiling asked from the side.

"An enchantment." Liu Dongmei said as she put her attention on Chen Lihua.

"Sister Mei, I doubt if that will work. Longwei has refused to touch me. He is scared of hurting the baby, so I don't think that trick would work on him." Chen Lihua disclosed to them.

That's the absolute truth. Since the last time and only time they had sex while she is pregnant, Liu Longwei promised himself not to touch her till she delivers their baby.

He is indeed scared of hurting their baby, because the last time they had sex, she was uncomfortable and even cried out.

He didn't want any of that to repeat itself. He could be celibate for a while and get the reward later.

These days whenever Chen Lihua got touchy, he would avoid her with so many excuses until he told her about the promise he made.

Chen Lihua was happy at first. But as weeks passed by when she needed his touch, he denied her of it.

And when she took the reins, he refused her.

Now telling her to try seducing him in a sexy dress would not work because Liu Longwei jas already programmed his mind not to touch her till she gives birth.

"Lihua dear, don't bother yourself a lot. I will talk to Brother Longwei on your behalf, he would surely allow you to go with us to the Maldives. Liu Huiling assured her with a smile on her face.

"Yes, Lihua, talk to him as well and leave the remaining work for us. And get ready for the travels, because I have a lot of activities for us to participate in.
