Hong Kong Film: Jimmy? Please call me Councillor Li

Chapter 299 Huang Lei is Pregnant

"Seeing is believing, Mr. Li is truly a man of exceptional talent."

"At this age, I think it's hard to find another person in Hong Kong who has achieved what Mr. Li has."

Kungfu Private Kitchen
Ke Zhidong's eyes were filled with undisguised admiration.

He wasn't flattering or fawning; these were his heartfelt words. He had lived most of his life, was nearly fifty, and had served as the head of the Security Bureau for several years.

He admitted that he had seen too many ups and downs, but it seemed that he had only met one person like Li Jiayuan in his entire life.

The only one, in his early twenties, who started from scratch and built a company into the now-famous Hong Kong Island Home Group.

I only spent two years building a multi-billion dollar conglomerate. Although he didn't understand much about the business world, he knew how difficult it was to achieve such an unprecedented and unparalleled feat.

He had long wanted to meet this legendary business genius.

"Director Ke, you flatter me. I'm just an ordinary businessman."

Li Jiayuan took a sip of red wine, his smile warm and friendly.

He was actually quite interested in this Ke Zhidong. He had someone investigate Ke Zhidong, and the guy's background was very obscure and somewhat mysterious.

Most importantly, he was able to get a position in the Security Bureau, which was only established a few years ago.

In such an important institution, the first person to take office must be of paramount importance. Therefore, Ke Zhidong's identity, background, and origins are worth investigating.

He was happy to have this opportunity to meet the person and wanted to get to know him better. Having more friends meant having more options, and it was never a bad thing.

"The bakery you mentioned is right here!"

Main Street
Ruan Mei and Huang Lei held hands
Today, Ruan Mei took Huang Lei out shopping, mainly to find a bakery. As a Hong Kong Island shop-hunting expert, Ruan Mei has no other hobbies besides eating and drinking.

"Go a little further ahead, the pancakes at that shop are really delicious, I was here last time."

"Here we are, right here."

"May your family be happy and your life be complete."

Huang Lei looked up at the shop in front of her.

The shop is quite large, and the decoration is okay. It's just an ordinary bakery; at least from the outside, there's nothing special about it.

You can smell the delicious aroma coming from inside as you stand at the door.

"There's nothing we can do about you."

"let's go."

Ruan Mei happily pulled Huang Lei into the bakery.

The bakery only had one employee, a middle-aged woman who was a little plump, wore glasses, and had a very kind face.

"Hello, what would you like to order?"

"Hello, the lady I bought cakes from last time, is she not here today?"

Ruan Mei looked around, feeling somewhat disappointed. He still wanted to talk to that person; the pastries she recommended last time were all delicious.

"They've all gone out to deliver goods today, so I'm the only one in the shop now. Just call me Aunt He. I'll recommend whatever you'd like to eat."

"OK."

At 8 PM
Li Jiayuan returned home.

After having dinner with Ko Chi-tung, another legislator invited him to dinner, which annoyed him.

This guy's goal was simple: to win her over so she could run for legislator in this election and then join them.

Li Jiayuan, of course, did not agree. He stated directly that he would participate, but would not take sides, as he had no intention of getting involved in the dispute between the two factions.

The meal ended unhappily, but Li Jiayuan wasn't worried at all, as he had a system of election slots.

Just find some connections to help him get nominated; there's no need to worry about what those people think.

There are plenty of people without a team or group; he's not the only one.

"You're back! Come and try this."

In front of the living room sofa and coffee table, Ruan Mei held the biscuits she had bought that day, her mouth greasy.

Li Jiayuan tried a sesame cake and was amazed by its deliciousness.

"These sesame cakes smell so good, they taste just like the old ones. Where did you buy them?"

"Is it delicious?" Ruan Mei hummed. At that moment, Huang Lei also came out of the room in a nightgown, which made Li Jiayuan swallow his saliva.

"Cough cough, it's so hot, I'm going to take a shower first."

Huang Lei rolled her eyes shyly. This naughty guy, he's already having wild ideas as soon as he gets back, but he definitely won't get his way today.

"You can't eat anymore, you've already eaten a lot today. Go take a shower."

"Oh"

Huang Lei slapped Ruan Mei on the head.

After Li Jiayuan finished showering, he went straight to his room. Huang Lei was in front of the dressing table, hugging him as usual.

When she pressed her face against his, Huang Lei gently pushed him away.

"Not today."

"?"

What the hell? I've already taken my pants off, and you're telling me this?

Besides, if he remembers correctly, his wife's period isn't today.

Li Jiayuan held Huang Lei's hand and asked softly.

"are you uncomfortable?"

"Should we see a doctor?"

Huang Lei sighed and gently tapped Li Jiayuan on the head.

"You're the one who's sick. I... I went for a checkup today, and the doctor said..."

Huang Lei paused again halfway through her sentence.

"say what?"

"The doctor said I'm pregnant."

"Hi, pregnant? I thought you were pregnant..."

"etc.!!!!"

"What did you just say?!"

Li Jiayuan suddenly jumped out of bed, grabbed Huang Lei's shoulders, his eyes wide open, his mind filled with only the few words Huang Lei had just said.

His rapid breathing betrayed his inner turmoil.

He's going to be a dad!
This news was too heavy for Li Jiayuan; it was no less than dropping ten atomic bombs on the island.

For him, who had no parents, family was a very distant concept. It was only after he met Huang Lei that he gradually began to look forward to the existence of a family.

But he was still completely lost about this unfamiliar future, and he was not yet ready to welcome a new life.

So when Huang Lei mentioned her pregnancy, his first reaction was one of unfamiliarity, followed by surprise and joy, because he was about to have a child.

Huang Lei touched her belly, quite pleased with Li Jiayuan's reaction.

Actually, she was also very anxious. She was also a child who needed to be taken care of, so how could she take good care of another child?

Being a mother for the first time was a very complicated experience for her, and she didn't know how to explain it to anyone.

Fortunately, she wasn't alone; she had Ruan Mei, who could help her take care of the child.

She didn't feel comfortable leaving her child with someone else, and she didn't want her parents to take care of the child either. Zhongtian Group was a large company, and her mother also had her own company, so she didn't want to trouble her family.

Moreover, if she leaves the child with her family, wouldn't she be unable to see her child often?

There's no need to worry about that if Ruan Mei takes care of the child; firstly, she's trustworthy, and secondly, they can live together.

"Do you think it will be a girl or a boy? I heard that there is now technology that can detect the sex of the child in advance."

"It can't be that fast, she's not even showing yet. I hope it's a boy."

Huang Lei has already started imagining what it will be like after the child is born. If it's a boy, he'll definitely look like Li Jiayuan and won't be bad-looking in the future.

No, their whole family is good-looking, so their children will definitely be very good-looking.

Huang Lei prefers boys, but Li Jiayuan hopes the child will be a girl.
