Chapter 1204: You Look Perfect
The third branch of Sister Hua’s Gourmet Shop had just opened to considerable fanfare.
Naturally, Gong Xin had arranged for two of the biggest and most outrageously extravagant floral baskets money could buy. And since the office was unusually quiet that afternoon, she didn’t hesitate to take the opportunity to slip away.
With the blessing of her bemused supervisor, she was off on a mission to see her beloved soul sister, Gu Zi.
It had been over six months since they’d last laid eyes on each other, and when Gong Xin finally caught sight of Gu Zi again, she was momentarily stunned into silence.
"Gu Zi!" she gasped, blinking in disbelief. "What exactly have you been eating in the capital? You’ve... ballooned!"
Gu Zi rolled her eyes at her friend’s characteristic lack of a filter and gave her a once-over of her own.
Gong Xin, with her now-long hair and a touch of understated makeup, exuded a newfound femininity—softer, more elegant. There was less of the tomboyish energy, and in its place, a quiet maturity. She looked like a woman on the cusp of romance—or perhaps already deep in it. Plumper, fairer, and glowing... it was obvious someone had been feeding her well. No doubt, Jin Long’s doing.
Feigning solemnity, Gu Zi lowered her gaze to her rounded belly and murmured in a mock-conspiratorial tone, "Baby, remember this moment well. Auntie Gong Xin can’t even recognize you when you’re in the womb. When you’re born, don’t bother recognizing her either, all right?"
