Birth of the Devilish CEO: So what if i'm a Lady?

Chapter 229: The reveal (surprise gifts)

"I am sure that Ge'er will find it before the time is up. I trust my Ge'er," Xiao Bai said reassuringly. Just like Xiao Bai had said, Lie Ruge sat down resting her back on the chair after she had found the remaining two accessories that belonged to Yi Lan.

"Sister-in-law, are you certain that these are all the things you think belong to third bro? I would advise you to check again," Tan Fan said in order to confuse Lie Ruge.

"I am sure of it, so just call the darn result," Lie Ruge said fiercely.

"Bravo sister-in-law! If all ladies have keen eyes like you, I'm sure that they would easily recognize their husband in a crowd of one thousand people. I am so surprised. I see why the both of you are perfect for each other," Tan Fan said bewildered as he applauded Lie Ruge.

"I told you that Ge'er would definitely win," Xiao Bai said delightedly.

"Yeah, you did," Yun Yi said, feeling very relieved. Tan Fan signalled the person in charge of the music to play a piece of music for them to lighten the mood in the room. The reason he told them to play the music was that he wanted the newlyweds to relax for some time before they moved to the next item on their list. After dancing for thirty minutes the music was turned off.

"Ok everyone, it's gift time. I know that third bro and sister-in-law do not lack anything since they have the money. But as friends, we've got to shower them with gifts even though they don't lack anything. This is to show them that we love and care about them and I know that you guys are capable of showering them with the best gifts, since all of you are all business tycoons," Tan Fan said smiling. Tan Fan did not have to say any other thing before all of them knew what was expected of them. They had already brought the gifts they wanted to give the newlyweds so they just handed it over to them. Most of the gifts were documents containing land ownership or buildings while others were car keys. Yi Lan and Lie Ruge were so engrossed chatting with each that they did not care what any of them gave them. They were so grateful that all of them were able to attend their wedding. Some of their guests were supposed to be on business trips to one country or the other but they paused everything just to make their presence known on this important day of their lives.

"Third bro what are you waiting for? Where are your gifts for our pretty sister-in-law?" Yi Lan asked curiously after everyone had presented them with gifts.

"Anthony Figeland island," Yi Lan exclaimed.

"Anthony Figeland island? What is that? Is it the name of the latest car or house?" Tan Fan asked innocently.

"What? This is a lie? Do you mean to say you bought the whole island for sister Ge'er?" Jiang Xue exclaimed dumbfoundedly.

"Yeah, I did. It is Ge'er dream island so I bought it for her as a wedding....," Lie Ruge immediately kissed him before he could complete his words.

"Thank you, hubby," Lie Ruge said overjoyed.

"Anything for you wifey," Yi Lan said smiling back at her.

"Yi Lan is totally crazy. How could he afford to buy that priceless treasure just as a wedding gift for his wife? This is so unbelievable," CEO Fang said in surprise, but his friend immediately stopped him from speaking further in fear that Yi Lan might overhear him since he was very loud.

"Ok, ok third bro has defeated all of us here by giving sister-in-law such a priceless gift. Sister-in-law, what is your gift for third bro," Tan Fan asked eagerly.  Yi Lan looked at Lie Ruge with great anticipation in his eyes when Tan Fan asked her about her gift for Yi Lan.

"Hmmm... my gift is very special, it is only meant for him to hear no one else," Lie Ruge shocked everyone with her words.

"Come on Mrs. Yi, let's hear what your gift is," Everyone echoed in unison.

"Ge'er stop being so secretive and tell us what the gift is," Xiao Bai said displeased.

"If there is nothing else for us to do, can we leave now?," Yi Lan asked sternly, everyone immediately kept quiet when he spoke. They all knew how scary Yi Lan can be if anyone dared to annoy him.

"The newlyweds must be damn tired right now. So they are excused but that does not mean that the party ends after their departure," Tan Fan said as he signalled for music to play. Yi Lan assisted Lie Ruge out of the room after Xiao Bai, Xiao Min, Jiang Xue, Tan Fan and Yun Yi had bid them goodbye. On getting outside, Xu Feng and Fei Yan who were previously in the room were now waiting for them outside. Xu Feng was permitted to stay behind while Fei Yan took the couple home. Yi Lan had suggested they spend the night over at one of their hotels, but Lie Ruge suggested they went back to the Mansion since it would be stressful for them to go back to the Mansion the next morning in order to prepare to leave for their honeymoon which was the next day. After they had freshened up and were now lying down on their bed, Yi Lan initiated the conversation.

"Ge'er, what about the gift? I thought you were going to give it to me after we arrived home, but you didn't. So where is it?" Yi Lan asked anticipatingly.

"Close your eyes for three minutes and I will bring the gifts before you, but you are not allowed to peep or else I won't give it to you again," Lie Ruge threatened. After making sure that his eyes were tightly closed. She walked into the dressing room to get whatever she wanted to give Yi Lan and resurfaced after two minutes.

"You can open your eyes," Lie Ruge said stretching forth her hand. Yi Lan collected the thing which was in her hand and examined it. The mini picture was quite small so he could not guess what it was.

"Ge'er, what is this? I can't really tell what it is so can you explain it to me?" Yi Lan asked ignorantly.

"It's the scan result which shows that I am pregnant. That means you will be a father very soon," Lie Ruge explained smiling charmingly at him. Yi Lan was dumbstruck, he thought maybe he heard her wrong so he decided to ask her again.

"You said what?" Yi Lan asked, staring into her eyes.

"I said you will be a father in about seven months," Lie Ruge shouted loudly for him to hear. Yi Lan hugged her instantly after she had cleared his doubts.

"Wow! I will be a father very soon. This is great," Yi Lan said caressing her flat tummy affectionately.

"Since when did you know about the pregnancy," Yi Lan asked when he had come back to his senses.

"Today makes it nine days since I have known that I was pregnant," Lie Ruge exclaimed shyly.

"What? How were you able to keep it a secret from me for that long?", Yi Lan asked in surprise.

"When I heard the news, I thought that it would be the best wedding gift that I could ever give you so I told mum and dad about my plans and they immediately agreed to it. She has done everything to make sure that you didn't suspect that I am pregnant. And that is the reason she always visited us often. She and dad just wanted to make sure that the baby and I are alright," Lie Ruge disclosed the truth to him.

"I should have suspected it when mum and dad kept on visiting us when they rarely did that since I have always told them not to visit you whenever they missed you. What about the others, do they know about the baby," Yi Lan asked.

"Of course not. I didn't tell them because I was afraid that they might blow off my cover. It was a surprise gift for you and I didn't want anyone to ruin it," Lie Ruge said caressing his face.

"Thank you so much for your gift, wifey. You are the one who presented me with the best gift I have ever received. Your gift has made me very happy. Starting from today, I will be the best husband and father in the world," Yi Lan said before he kissed her forehead passionately
