"I see." Iris nodded in understanding before asking, "Did my husband invite you over? He told you what happened to me?"

"Actually, no," AJ Zheneres replied. "Liam commissioned Amanpio to create something special for you and told him that you’re pregnant and in bed rest. At first, we didn’t know about it at all but I dropped by Amanpio’s lab at the academy and saw him busy working on the commission. That’s when I learned about what happened to you. I told Ashandra and the others about it and we all decided to go with Amanpio when he delivers the goods to you."

"Oh." Iris became even more curious about what kind of special goods her husband commissioned Amanpio to create for her. She looked at the numerous packages forming a small mountain in the corner of the bedroom.

Amanpio grinned at her before opening one of the packages. Then he pulled out a delicate maternity dress. The cloth had intricate designs printed on it.

Iris gasped, admiring the dress. "It’s beautiful. The art style looks familiar." She looked Ashandra.

"I won the bet!" Theresa Blipsburg clapped her hands. "I knew that Xiulan will be able to recognize Ashandra’s art style with just a look."

"Do you like it?" Ashandra asked.

"I love it!" Iris replied. "Did you make the dress?"

"I did. I painted on the cloth and designed the dress for you."

"Hey hey! Don’t hog all the credit, Ashandra! I’m the one who made the cloth!" Amanpio harrumphed but continued to pull out more clothes from the box. "I created many cloths from different materials. Cotton, silk, satin, even leather. You name it, I have it! What’s special about these cloths are that they all protect the wearer against radiation with 99.99% effectiveness. Unlike other anti-radiation cloths, the ones I made don’t attract EMF at all like an antenna or increase the intensity to other non-shielded parts of the body. My patent for this technological innovation is already pending! You can rest assured that you’ll be protected, Xiulan, because I’m the best! Hahaha!"

Iris became excited after learning the special attribute of the clothes. Then she felt guilty that she hadn’t thought about it herself. Her hands touched her abdomen. It seemed that she still had a long way to go before becoming a responsible mother.

Jin Liwei immediately knew what she was thinking about based on her expression alone. He wanted to hug his wife but her friends were crowding around her, not leaving any space for him. Sighing, he could only join Amanpio in taking out the clothes from the boxes.

Ashandra joined them and showcased her custom designs to Iris and their friends. Oohs and aahs filled the room at the beautiful clothes. There were outfits for almost every occasion. Ashandra even designed several stylish haramaki for Iris that can stretch to accommodate her growing belly all throughout her pregnancy. There were gloves, scarves, hats, socks, coats, even face masks.

AJ revealed, "Ashandra mobilized an army of seamstresses to sew all of these clothes based on her designs just to finish everything as quickly as possible."

"There are still a lot of raw cloths left if you want to have more clothes made," Ashandra said.

Iris’ eyes watered. She felt choked up as she thanked Ashandra, Amanpio, and the others for doing all this for her. Of course, she thanked her husband as well.

"Ah, sweetie." AJ hugged her again. "It appears that you’re really pregnant. You weren’t this quick to shed tears before with just this kind of thing. Don’t worry, Xiulan. This is all normal. I was also extremely emotional when I was pregnant with my baby girl. I almost wanted to murder my husband several times for being such an annoying prick but good thing that I love him so I was still able to restrain myself from actually murdering him. Thankfully, he also loves me so he endured my unpredictable temper."

Iris and AJ shared a sympathizing look that only they could understand. The other women could as well to some extent but only those who experienced pregnancy firsthand would really know what it really felt like.

"My husband also has to suffer from my constant mood swings," Iris said, sighing. She looked at her man and sent him a silent apology with her eyes.

"Don’t worry about it, love," Jin Liwei assured her. "It’s nothing I can’t handle."

"As you should," AJ said with a soft harrumph. "You really should start taking better care of Xiulan. Hopefully Theresa can help control this worrying weight loss."

"Yes, I will," Jin Liwei promised, his expression and tone solemn.

"I’ll do my best to help make Xiulan and her baby healthier," Theresa promised next.

Later, everyone left Iris so that she could rest. Jin Liwei joined her to eat lunch before heading to Jin Corporation. The Cross Academy students ate lunch at the mansion with Grandpa Lu. Enrique Valdez also came over to join them for lunch.

Afterwards, the butler arranged a ride for Amanpio because he wanted to visit Orchidia Beauty to catch up with Alric Bauer. The two shared patents when creating equipment for Orchidia Beauty before. AJ and the other ladies also went with him to take a look at Iris’ company. They were familiar with Long Jinjing and Chen Fei after meeting each other at Orchidia Beauty’s grand launch and Iris and Jin Liwei’s wedding.

The appearance of Ashandra Knightson, the famous artist known for her amazing masterpieces and almost demonic beauty, once again sparked excitement among art fans in the country. Photos of her entering Orchidia Beauty’s company building spread online, prompting numerous discussions among netizens.

Late in the afternoon, another set of photos spread on the internet. It was of Ashandra Knightson chatting with a tall, muscled man with a prominent scar on his handsome face. The two of them looked perfect together with their matching demonic beauty and handsomeness.

The man wasn’t a celebrity but some eagle-eyed people still recognized him.
