Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu

Chapter 690  Guessing game

The chorus of everybody's claps resounded far and wide. The cheers and excitement reverberated through the air and many fans popped the party poppers in celebration. The reporters clicked multiple pictures and captured this extraordinary moment of the book launch.

A radiant smile illuminated on Ai's face as she looked at the crowd. It in turn brought a pleasing smile on Jun's lips as well. Watching her bask in this moment of glory and achievement was all that he wanted.

"You look beautiful," he whispered.

Ai turned, her light brown pupils swirling with joy. "You look handsome."

He chuckled.

Jun took the mic again and announced that the sale of the book Reborn would soon commence. He requested everybody to move to another hall where copies would be sold. That naturally erupted a frenzy between the fans and everybody rushed towards the hall. It was so chaotic that Jun had to intervene and assure that there were enough copies for everybody, and there would be no problem of running out.

The only remaining personnel were the media reporters who got busy asking Jun and Ai some questions. After that interview was done, Ai's part in the book launch event finally came to a close.

As soon as she stepped down, Guiying Leina, Shui, Xing Bi, Nuo, Chyou - everybody jumped to hug her.

"You were amazing, Ai!" Chyou praised her bright grin. "You looked like a star! Hehe, by any chance, are you interested in joining the film industry? You would go A-listed in no time~"

A hand silently grabbed the back of her dress and pulled her back. "Don't you poach her to your side," Yating snorted.

"Hey, I have the purest of intentions!"

Yating shook his head and heartily congratulated Ai. "Congratulations, Ai. You might not be working in Dream High anymore but everybody there still feels proud of you."

"Thank you, Yating."

"You rocked babe!" Leina squished her cheeks against her too.

Guiying nodded with tears in her eyes. "I am really proud of you, Ai."

Ai squeezed her hand, her heart feeling overwhelmed. It meant a lot to her to hear these words come from Guiying who had strayed far away from her because of their passion for writing. But now those same distances melted away, leaving only pure friendship and respect for each other behind.

Zixin, Yunru and Huan gave their heartiest congratulations as well as Sun Bai who hugged her with joy.

"Of course because she is my talented granddaughter-in-law!" Liu Hai harrumphed with pride.

Liu Chunhua smacked his head. "Your banner was embarrassing!"

"Hey! Don't just blame me. The twins helped me too!"

She glared at the twins, who were trying to escape. "Is this true? Hey! Where are you running off to! Come back!"

Jin sneered, watching the grandmother chase after them with her sandal and not forgetting to record this moment on video. He took a full turn with his phone to capture the running twins until the lens caught Shui in it too. Her bright eyes held a smile that shook his heart. He lowered his camera and looked away.

The parents and in-laws had completely surrounded Ai in a circle, squealing and gushing at her. Jun could only helplessly wait for the excitement to die down so that he could get some quality time with Ai.

Jun pulled Ai back and raised his palm. "Yes, yes now if you all may, I have to discuss some formalities with her regarding this event. So please go ahead and I will join you with Ai later."

Nana pouted. "Are you already stealing her away from us? We didn't even spend two minutes with her."

Jinhai nodded, agreeing to this injustice.

"Hehe~ Does Jun-cute want to do some naughty things with Ai-chan~?"

He received a vicious heel stomp on his foot by none other than Xie Nuying, who threw him a displeased glare. "Can you not act like a hooligan just once?"

He scowled. "Well someone has to when one of the parents is so stiff and rigid! Where is the fun in life if you don't act hoolignanish at times?"

Jinhai's brow twitched.

Isn't his constant mode of operation hoolignanish?

Jun got what he wanted and everybody left from the auditorium, leaving the two love-birds alone. Ai asked, "What other formalities are there?"

He grinned an evil grin and wrapped his arm around her waist. "No formalities. Just an excuse to release you from their clutches~"

"You are becoming more and more naughty," Ai tapped his nose.

He released a troubled sigh. "Well what should I do? Everybody hogs you so much that nowadays, I feel as if I am standing in a queue and have to take an appointment to talk to you. Aren't you becoming so popular?"

Ai sheepishly grinned. "I am a naturally lovable and warm person, so I am famous."

His mouth twitched.

"And…" Ai folded her arms around his neck and with a mischievous glint in her light brown irises, she said, "the number of people in the queue to talk to me is going to increase~ But they will be special so no queue for them~"

Jun's gaze darkened. "Who else is left? Aren't all these people enough already?"

"No, not enough. I am sure you would love the new addition too~" she innocently blinked.

Jun threw her a confused look. "Is this real or are you pulling my leg?"

"It's very real and I am very serious," she nodded.

"Okay, who are they?"

"You take a guess."

Jun frowned. He couldn't understand where Ai was getting at. He thought of everybody within and outside the Liu family but nobody new came to his mind.

"We have everybody covered."

"Nope. Not everybody. There is somebody who hasn't given his debut yet~"

"Give me a hint please."

Ai playfully chuckled. "Well, only one hint. The person will soon be a part of the Liu family."

"Will soon be?" He blinked.

"Now you guess~"

Jun glanced aside, thinking of the possibilities.

Who can be such a person to become a family member but hasn't debuted yet?

Okay so exclude Mom, Dad, the idiot twins, Nuo, Jin, Grandpa, Grandma, Great-grandma, Uncle Jing, Uncle Yukito, Uncle Yukira.

Leina, Xing Bi, Shui and Bro Siying aren't officially a part of the family yet but they have already been here.

He tilted his head questioningly.

Then who?

Okay let's count again. So, Mom, Dad, the idiot twins-

He froze all of a sudden and turned to face her very slowly. Ai recognized the realization in his expression and beamed.

Jun couldn't find his voice as it broke and stammered, guessing the member. "A-are you ta-talking about o-our…child?"

member. "A-are you ta-talking about o-our…child?"

Ai clapped her hands in delight. "Ding Ding! Correct answer! The new naturally lovable, warm and cute member is none other than our child," she held his hands as her own hands slightly shook and said, "I am pregnant, Jun."
