Playboy CEO Has a Baby

************

CHAPTER 601

The party went on after. People no longer saw the need to sit since they have been moving from one table to another.

Business discussions amongst businessmen were inevitable. Mothers made efforts to find potential suitors for their daughters, and wives for thier sons.

While others chatted amongst their peers. Amongst everyone, Lisa Wang sat alone, munching away as she watched on.

Every once in a while, she would rub on her belly bump that was now visible even with her gown covering. She was not privileged to move about as she couldn't do so for too long.

The others were being swept away by people wanting to have a conversation. It was hard to dodge them all. And Lisa understood.

Besides, she what is better than being in the company of tasty foods Wang Tingxiao brought for her. So while she basked in that, a group of three ladies gossiped.

"Will you look at that? The so-called wife of Mr Wang Tingxiao," the lady in ash spoke.

"Yeah. Such a foodie. That's so unladylike, the way she eats," said another in grey dress.

"She can't even keep her legs closed. Spreading them like a wh*re."

"I can't believe Wang Tingxiao married her. I mean what did he see in her. She literally has no background."

"You don't say. Li Fengjin and his friends all married from prominent families. She is the eyesore amingst them all."

"A pauper she is," the lady in brown scoffed.

"Look at the clothes she is even wearing. I've never seen such low quality stuff. Take a look at those shoes."

"Like a hand-me-down from her grandma."

"Hahaha."

The ladies laughed and mocked Lisa. The shocking part was that they did not even care if she heard them or not. In fact, they made sure she heard to shame her.

And unfortunately, it was working. Lisa felt like a weed in a garden full of flowers. She looked down at her clothes.

An emerald green off-shoulder, sleeveless dress. It has cold shoulder neckline. The skirt made of satin and the top made of stretchy velvet.

It had a little stones in a minimum amount embedded on the top. It was comfortable and suited to keep her and the baby warm.

Although, she did not find it as shaby as they made it look like, she began to regret not shopping for a better dress.

Her hair was clipped in the middle minimizing the strands that framed her face. The rest was left to fall behind her in curls.

As for her shoes, they were silver flats with a rose decor at the head. She wore matching silver earrings, necklace and a bracelet.

Her makeup was as minimal. She was beautiful. But she was still not acceptable in social eyes.

"This is the reason why I don't like going to parties," she mumbled to herself.

Lisa gently pushed aside the unfinished tray of food. Even if she had the appetite to eat them all, she could not bring herself to.

Not with those ladies watching her.

"Hi there. I thought you might like these cupcakes so I brought you a few," Yang Wenkai placed three different flavoured cupcakes in front of her.

Then he sat beside her.

"Oh, thank you. But you should not have bothered, brother Kai. I'm full," Lisa declined with a small polite smile.

"Are you sure? They taste–"

"She still wants to eat that?"

"Of course she would. Can't you see that she's using it to draw attention?"

"Using cheap means to lure other women's men. How shameless can she be?"

Yang Wenkai frowned at those words his ears picked. He glanced at the ladies badmouthing Lisa and then to the victim. It was obvious their words were getting to her.

"Don't let them get you, Lisa. They are just joblessly stupid," he tried to lift her mood.

"Ah, our soon-to-be mum. Here. I got fruit salad," Li Fengjin and the others joined them.

"You seem moody. What's wrong?" Ye Chaoxiang asked.

"It's nothing. I'm fine," Lisa managed a wry smile at them.

"She's not. Those ladies are talking shut about her," Yang Wenkai told them the truth.

"What? Who?" Yang Chen asked in disbelief.

"Second table to your left."

Just as their eyes turned to see who would dare talk nonsense about their family, Bai Renxiang and Ning Xiaozhi were already behind those ladies.

"What an attention seeker. She doesn't belong here."

"So ugly and dull. She'll dim their lights."

"I think the only person who does not belong here are your three twerp," Bai Renxiang pitched in.

The three ladies jolted in shock. Bai Renxiang and Ning Xiaozhi walked to stand in front of them. Their eyes halting daggers at the ladies.

"Tch. Look at the ogre calling the swan ugly. How ironic," Ning Xiaozhi did not care to mince her words.

They came out raw and sharp like knives. Bai Renxiang placed her right hand on her waist and scoffed.

"I still can't believe there are people as jobless as these three. Look at them..."

"It's no wonder they say birds of a feather flock together," Ning Xiaozhi eyed them from too to bottom- sizing them with her eyes.

"I know right. You call her dull but you three are ones dressed in colours that spell how dim and dull your lives are," Bai Renxiang's words sliced through their skins.

The three ladies were unable to say a word.

"This is birthday celebration for heaven's sake not some funeral."

"Maybe they got the wrong invitation, Xiaozhi. Despicable," Bai Renxiang scowled.

"It's no wonder they are single. Men like ours and Lisa's husband will never look their way," Ning Xiaozhi mocked.

"If I was a man I would never let my eyes behold such things."

"You–"

"It's nuisances like you three that bring shame to social circle."

Bai Renxiang glared at them before slipping her hair as she turned. In that vein, her hair whipped the lady in an ash coloured dress.

Gasp

"Let's go, Xiaozhi," Bai Renxiang called out as she walked to the table were Lisa and the others sat.

Ning Xiaozhi snickered at them. "You for served, b*tches."

The three ladies stood there with disbelief and shame. Did they just get burnt like that? Damn!

A few persons who were close by and heard everything could not help but laugh.

"That is what you get for messing with other people."

"They talked as if they were better than Wang Tingxiao's pregnant wife."

Not being able to withstand the disgrace, the three ladies scurried out of the event hall while hiding their faces.

Meanwhile Wang Tingxiao returned to Lisa with a glass of juice in hand, only for him to see her so down.

"Hey. Darling what's wrong?" He dropped the juiced and squatted in from of her. "Lisa."

"She is like that because of what people are saying," Li Fengjin told him.

"And what are they saying?"

"Bad stuff," Li Fengjin replied. "But don't worry the girls are taking care of it?

"Oh, Lisa," Wang Tingxiao sighed.

"I should have stayed at home. Now I'm ruining the party for everyone. I'm an eyesore," Lisa choked a sob.

"No, you are not. You are beautiful and perfect just the way you are. And you can't always be at home when I attend parties like this. Your place is by my side not in the house," Wang Tingxiao said.

"But-"

Wang Tingxiao shook his head to stop her. "You shouldn't listen to the words of worthless people, darling. Just listen to me and our family."

"Lisa, are you okay? Don't mind any of the things those girls said," Bai Renxiang said as she placed her hands on Lisa's shoulders.

"Yeah. You are queen. Nothing less. So don't mind people. When you have a good man like Tingxiao, people are bound to be jealous. Even ugly ducks," Ning Xiaozhi added.

Lisa nodded and sniffed. Wang Tingxiao sighed and took out a handkerchief from the inner pocket of his suit jacket.

"Let me," he carefully wiped her eyes that were clouded by tears. "There now. I love you and that is all that matters, okay?"

"Hmm," Lisa hummed and nodded like a child.

Wang Tingxiao smiled and pecked her head. He then sat one seat away from her and took one of her legs.

"Does your foot hurt? Are the shoes tight?" He inquired while taking off her shoe and massaging her foot.

"It hurts but only just a little bit."

"Just relax and let me take care of it."

Lisa nodded again. When she raused her eyes from her foot in his palms, she met with the teasing eyes of their friends. She blushed and looked away.

"Awwn! So sweet," Ye Yumi cooed.

"I know right. Tingxiao is such a caring man," Bai Renxiang said.

"Uh-huh. Lucky Lisa," Ning Xiaozhi added.

"I definitely will, love."
