Against Fate (Eternal Love of Dream/Pillow Book FanFic)

87. The Tea Trio

The next day at work, everyone was discussing about Little President (Feng Jiu and Dong Hua rumoured child). Lian Song was sitting in his office, and he chanced upon the picture that was uploaded last night.

"What?! Feng Jiu is pregnant?! How?!" Lian Song paced up and down his office while thinking about it. Then he decided to summon Si Ming into his office to discuss it.

Not long after, Si Ming knocked on his office door and came in.

"Did you see this?" Lian Song showed Si Ming the picture of Dong Hua and Feng Jiu buying baby stuff.

"What?! Feng Jiu is pregnant?! How?!" Si Ming exclaimed shockingly. Lian Song nodded his head enthusiastically and replied, "That was my first reaction too! We need to get to the bottom of this."

At this point, they still didn't clue in that Feng Jiu was actually buying the baby stuff for Yu Xi.

Then they both decided to summon Su Moye for a tea session to discuss about it. Lian Song immediately called Su Moye on the phone.

Lian Song: Red alert. We have an emergency here. Help is needed.

Su Moye: Roger that. Help is on the way. Lunch?

Lian Song: See you at lunch. Out.

Then they hung up the phone, and the gossip duo headed back to work.

On the other side, Feng Jiu realized that people were giving her weird looks all morning. When she walked into the office building, everyone was giving way to her, and they were also keeping a distance. Even when she walked into the elevator, they all made an excuse not to share the same one as her.

In reality, everyone was just afraid of bumping into her by accident and injuring her.

When she arrived at the office, Dong Hua was already in the office. "Oh! Good morning, Dong Hua! I'll make you a cup of coffee now." She said excitedly.

"Morning, Xiao Bai. I was thinking of getting Iced coffee this morning, would you mind getting that for me at the cafeteria instead?" Dong Hua smiled.

"Of course! Let me start up my laptop first." Feng Jiu smiled brightly. Then she ran out of the office after setting up her work stuff.

When she arrived at the cafeteria, she noticed that there was a long queue for the drinks stall. The moment she stood in the line, everyone 'disappeared' and there wasn't anyone left in the queue.

"What? Why is everyone avoiding me?" She looked around with a puzzled face.

After ordering two cups of Iced coffee, a lady appeared out of nowhere and told Feng Jiu, "Sorry if I'm stepping out of line, but you shouldn't be drinking iced coffee at such a time."

Feng Jiu replied confusedly, "Huh? Why?" The lady smiled politely and replied, "It's bad for your health."

At this moment, her iced coffee was ready to go, and Feng Jiu thanked the lady before walking away. She thought to herself, "That was weird. So it's bad for my health to drink iced coffee in the morning?"

Feng Jiu continued thinking about what the lady said to her while walking into her office. Dong Hua noticed that she was feeling uneasy, and he asked worriedly, "What's wrong, Xiao Bai?"

"No, it's nothing. I just met a weird lady at the Cafeteria. She said that I shouldn't be drinking ice coffee at this time, and she said that it was bad for my health. I wonder why." Feng Jiu shrugged her shoulders.
