"You're keeping your pregnancy a secret?!" Chairman Mao's jaw dropped after hearing Shen Yuan out.
Shen Yuan didn't react to the blatant disbelief on the old alpha's face. Instead, he calmly elaborated. "Well, not entirely a secret. My husband and I decided to let our inner circle in on it—you, and the few lucky folks who dropped by. As for everyone else? Let's just say the staff got the 'zip it or else' memo."
"That's quite the move—I didn't see it coming," Chairman Mao said after a moment of thoughtful silence. "I thought you'd use this chance to show off in front of Mo Lihua. I mean, if my math is right, it was her little scheme that led to this beautiful gift."
Shen Yuan scrunched his nose with a smirk. "Oh, I'd love nothing more than to slap her with the irony of her own scheme. But I'm a loving parent just as much as I'm a passionate hater. And this time, I'm choosing to be a parent. I will keep my baby a secret to keep my baby safe."
He instinctively caressed his belly.
