Lanni grabbed Xiehan’s hand under the table. He understood her gesture and squeezed hers. "On second thought, it’s too early to think about names. We will do it at our own pace." He announced, so everyone went silent about the suggestions at the tip of their tongue.
She was not trying to keep them out of it. It just felt uncomfortable and for some reason, it was as if not everyone was happy with the news of her pregnancy. Was she being paranoid? She didn’t know yet, but she couldn’t afford to take any risk.
Wen Lin was friendlier, offering her more food every few minutes.
