"Um... yeah, we meet again, what a coincidence." I raised the juice in my hand as a gesture of acknowledgement. Since they didn't have any ill intentions, I had no reason to ignore them. Then, I greeted Nicholas Scott once again, "Nicholas Scott." Nicholas Scott raised his glass and smiled, "I thought you wouldn't come, but Shannon must have convinced you." "Well... this dress suits you very well, it's beautiful, and it fits perfectly, right?" I hesitated for a moment, feeling that his words sounded a bit strange, but I still replied, "It fits well." Nicholas Scott nodded, looking very pleased. Gu Xingchen lightly shook the glass in his hand and elegantly took a sip. He casually asked, "Miss Zhong, did you come alone? Why isn't Han accompanying you?" I was still lost in my thoughts about the dress when Gu Xingchen asked me. I hadn't reacted yet, but at that moment, James Dalton's voice interrupted. Following the sound, I noticed that he and Scarlett Williams had also arrived, a few steps behind Nicholas Scott and the others. "It's so lively here. Oh my, Liliana Zanetti, your belly has gotten so big. How could Dominic Hartnell let you come to this kind of party alone?" "Ah! I know, you came secretly, right? Be careful, Dominic Hartnell will be furious if he finds out." I glared at James Dalton. Can't this guy speak properly? He's the CEO of the company! What do you mean secretly? Am I not entitled to some personal freedom? He's speaking as if I deserve to be scolded. This is just too much. Shannon, who had been invisible all this time, stepped forward and hooked her arm around my shoulder, saying, "James Dalton, Liliana Zanetti and I were invited by Flash. This is normal networking for work. Even if Dominic Hartnell finds out, so what? Why should he get angry?" I pulled Shannon back a bit, afraid that she would get angry and argue with James Dalton. "Alright, he was just joking." Shannon has always had a hot temper, and now she's also dissatisfied with Dominic Hartnell. James Dalton's words were like stepping on a landmine. Although there were no reporters at today's wrap party, it wouldn't look good if they really started arguing. But fortunately, Shannon listened to my advice and didn't say anything more. As for James Dalton, he completely acted as if he didn't care and turned to talk to Gu Xingchen. From their appearance, it seemed like they had known each other for a long time.It's normal to think about it. After all, James Dalton and Dominic Hartnell are brothers, so it's not surprising that they know Gu Xingchen. "Melissa, when did you come back? You didn't even notify me. If I hadn't come to the banquet today, I wouldn't have known. I'm sad." Listening to these sweet words, I couldn't help but twitch the corner of my mouth. James Dalton... He's so used to flirting with women whenever he sees them? Gu Xingchen didn't mind at all and smiled like silver bells, responding, "You're overreacting. I'm not one of your little beauties." "I've been back for a while. Didn't Han tell you? I saw him a while ago." James Dalton held his chest, pretending to be angry, and said, "That jerk Dominic Hartnell only thinks about his own pleasure!" I closed my eyes and didn't want to look anymore. Otherwise, if I look at James Dalton a few more times, I'm afraid I'll kick him. Still thinking about his own pleasure. Is he trying to cause trouble or imply something? Gu Xingchen smiled and looked at me casually, saying, "Stop joking. Han's fiancée is here. I don't want to be blamed." With that glance from her, I instinctively clenched my hand, feeling a bit uncomfortable. But I couldn't show it, after all, Gu Xingchen's words seemed to be considering me and Dominic Hartnell. James Dalton smiled brightly and winked at me, "Liliana Zanetti isn't so petty." I suddenly felt a sense of helplessness. He said all the good and bad things by himself. At this moment, Scarlett Williams, who had been standing silently beside us, placed her wine glass on the table and said, "You guys chat, I'll excuse myself." Just as Scarlett Williams turned around, Gu Xingchen called her name and also put down her glass, "Are you going to touch up your makeup? I need to go too, let's go together." "Miss Zhong, see you later." I was taken aback for a moment. I was surprised that she would say something to me alone. Out of politeness, I could only nod in response. After Gu Xingchen and Scarlett Williams left one after another, only Nicholas Scott and James Dalton remained. I looked at these two flamboyant men and greeted, "If you're not leaving, then sit down. Standing like this is too conspicuous, and my legs are tired." Oh, speaking of which, I feel like shedding a tear of sympathy. I don't know if other pregnant women are like me or if it's because I'm carrying twins, but I just get tired easily. It's only been five months, and my legs have started to swell a bit. This morning, I experienced my first leg cramp since becoming pregnant.I was abruptly awakened by the pain early in the morning, it was truly tragic. When Shannon heard me complain about my sore legs, she got a little nervous and quickly pulled out a chair for me to sit on. "You should have told me if you were tired. Uncle and Auntie promised to take good care of you. You can't... Oh, Liliana Zanetti, what's wrong? Don't scare me, what's bothering you?" Oh my, does it have to be like this? Why does it hurt so much when I have a leg cramp? "My leg... cramp... quickly, Shannon, help me massage it, I can't reach..." I pointed at my right leg, grimacing in pain, my eyes squinted. After a while, the throbbing pain subsided a lot, and I felt much better. I couldn't help but praise, "Shannon, well done, the pressure was just right, I feel much better now." "Um... Liliana Zanetti, it wasn't me..."As I listened to Shannon's hesitant words, I opened my eyes in surprise and was immediately startled. I saw Nicholas Scott squatting down, holding my leg in his arms, massaging it one by one, with a particularly focused expression. "That's good, leg cramps are normal during pregnancy. You should drink more bone soup, it's good for you and the baby." Nicholas Scott's words shocked me, and I instantly pulled my leg back. The movement was a bit sudden, and due to inertia, I leaned back and accidentally bumped into Shannon. "Please slow down, ma'am, you're scaring me!" Oh my goodness, am I going to have a heart attack? Forget about Shannon, I feel like I'm about to have a heart attack! Nicholas Scott, the actor, the heartthrob, are you really massaging my legs in front of everyone?To make matters worse, Gu Xingchen also returned at some point, and as soon as I glanced up, our eyes locked. Gazing into her joyful eyes, my heart suddenly began to race, and I felt inexplicably anxious.
