Chapter 199 - 198: Basketball Practice Day
At eight in the following morning, the entire Imperial University went into frenzy when they saw unregistered luxury sedans and three sports cars entered the Imperial University school grounds.
Everyone watched as the door of their cars opened simultaneously. Everyone screamed at the top of their lungs when they saw the four other famous and popular personalities in the business world alighting from their respective cars.
Hua Zhang Wei, Jeong Ho and J or Jin Jie went out of their respective sports cars with their gym bags on their hands as they marched towards Nathan and Eunji who were waiting to personally welcome them.
Eunji was wearing a black Adidas sweat pants and an grey oversized hoodie. She completed her outfit with her white rubber shoes.
On the other hand, Nathan was wearing his navy blue jacket and its paired sweat pants. Just like Eunji, he was wearing a white rubber shoes and his hair was combed in a casual manner.
Even so, he still looked so good. Thanks to his godly visuals.
When his friends reached them, Nathan gave his friends their brotherhood handshake and hug while J walked towards Eunji who was smiling brightly at the former.
His wife's reaction upon seeing J made the Satan to be jealous and was sulking on the corner especially when he felt her hand, which was holding the hemline of his shirt, let go.
Eunji then extended her hand and did their cousin handshake in public.
J then tapped the top of her head which was now uncovered and even messed it a bit making Eunji to groan as she didn't like that someone would mess her hair.
J could only chuckle and smile in the process.
But his smile was short-lived when he heard someone clearing his throat beside them.
J recognized where the sound came from and he acknowledged the person by giving a quick nod in which the latter reciprocated by doing the same.
Seeing their interaction, Eunji smiled deep in her heart.
She could see that the two were on the right track and could be best of friends.
Hua Zhang Wei and Kim Jeong Ho also gave Eunji a quick friendly hug and hurriedly let go when they heard a low growl beside them.
The students who happened to be there together with the curious onlookers gushed in excitement as they could not believe they were able to witness their happy interaction and also seeing them in person the second time.
They were lucky enough to see them during Nathan and Eunji's wedding as these men were busy running their respective business empire, with Mo Jing-sheng's case, a hands on husband at the same time just like Nathan.
They were so happy back then to see them even in a short span of time even from afar but seeing them coming to their school wearing casual clothes and gym bag on, that only meant one thing.
They would be playing with Nathan for tomorrow's basketball match!
Because of this, they were so excited and immediately bought the tickets for the match tomorrow which were already sold out instantly as a result.
It's not a mystery why this happened. Given that these men were born from the top families of the country matched with their supreme visuals, they had garnered a lot of fans. These five men were unexpectedly listed in the top five most handsome men in China outranking the handsome celebrities on the list.
Mo Jing-sheng got out of his car last and then waited for a while as he reached his hand out for his special person to grab.
"Madame Mo!" Someone yelled as she immediately recognized Kelly coming out of the sedan even on a distance.
"Right! She's friends with goddess Kim!"
"Oh gosh! We have been attacked with visuals in both direction! My poor soul could not handle this! This is so much!" One student commented.
As soon as Kelly saw Eunji, she immediately spread her arms as she asked for a hug from her most favorite person not minding that she was already four months pregnant with an obvious baby bump.
Unlike Eunji, Kelly was wearing a knee-length maternity dress underneath her grey trench coat. She was also sporting a curly hair with minimal facial make-up.
She completed her outfit with her black boots.
Eunji copied Kelly's action as she spread her arms wide and welcomed her in her arms.
The two were acting like they had not meet for an entire year.
Kelly showered Eunji with kisses on the cheeks while Eunji could not help but giggle.
The two girls were so lost in their own worlds that they didn't realize two pair of eyes were eyeing on them and were watching their actions with a hint of jealousy.
Jeong Hoe and Zhang Wei could not help but shook their heads as they looked at the two jealous husbands.
"Kelly! Stop!" Eunji said while giggling as she felt ticklish.
After kissing her on the fifth time, Kelly finally listened as she snuggled her face on the space between her neck and shoulder.
Eunji felt like she was at a loss because of how Kelly acted.
She could feel Kelly inhaling her scent deeply.
"You smell so good Eunji-yah! I can't help but keep on smelling you." Kelly honestly answered.
"Babe. Behave. Sister-in-law's-" before Mo Jing-sheng could even continue what he wanted to say, Eunji interrupted him as she said, "It's okay."
Kelly then looked at her husband as she poke her tongue out which made Mo Jing-sheng to shook his head.
Eunji really knew how to spoiled Kelly.
"Let's go. Let's finish the practice early because there will be an event later on and my wife had to prepare." Nathan said which made Kelly to pout in disappointment.
"Killjoy Master Bai!" She mumbled on her breath but Eunji heard her.
They then gave the keys to the waiting valet attendants and followed Eunji and Nathan who was now riding an electric golf cart which would bring them to their practice venue.
Their practice lasted for three hours and they tried their defense and offense formation and moves against their other sub five members of the team who were Nathan's security men.
They were surprised at how their chemistry didn't fade over the years.
Yes. Long before, playing basketball had been their hobby. Though they had never got the chance to join any competition, their skills and foundations of the sports were above average.
They were also surprised that J was able to keep up with them.
Nathan, since he was the tallest, he played as the center. While J and Mo Jing-sheng were the forwards and Jeong Ho and Hua Zhang Wei were the power point guards.
After the practice, everyone were sweating heavily making Eunji and Kelly to avoid them because they stink.
They didn't smell bad though. They still smelt fresh like the flowers in the garden but these pregnant women decided to avoid them as they pushed their respective husbands to take a shower following the others too.
They changed into their fresh casual clothes and walked out of the gym's locker room to join the others.
As they gathered, the group decided to have lunch first before they could continue their schedule. They then went to the cafeteria to have lunch.
"Finally! I'll get the chance to eat in this famous cafeteria for the first time!" Hua Zhang Wei said as he looked around.
Who wouldn't? The cafeteria was no ordinary cafeteria and could even compete with those world class restaurants out there.
Eunji and Nathan chuckled because of Young Master Hua's antics.
Nathan guided the rest to the second floor as usual where they had their own table prepared with servers waiting.
There were a few students eating on the other tables on the second floor together with their parents who had been accompanying them since this week long founding anniversary started.
The fathers who were businessmen made a quick nod as they acknowledged the arrival of these young generation highest executives of their respective companies. They knew these men were there to have fun and not for business based on their casual clothes and they respect that.
This week long anniversary was like a family week for them.
A way for the parents and their kids to bond even in a short amount of time.
The five understood their intentions and they acknowledge them by making a polite nod.
After all, these men around here were heads or top executives of their own companies and were their senior when it comes to experience.
The group finally settled on their respective seats accordingly.
On Eunji's right was Nathan while on her left was Kelly. On Kelly's left side was Mo Jing-sheng. On the other side of the table was J, Jeong Ho and Hua Zhang Wei.
But there were still two empty seats on their table which made the group to be curious.
However, their questions were answered in no time when Alice and Iris came into view followed by the Leads of the film and Director Li.
"Alice! Iris! Come!" Eunji called the two out.
Holding her hand, Alice dragged Iris as she approached Eunji's table.
Eunji wanted the couple to eat with them as she wanted to make sure that Alice was fine after their talk with Magnus yesterday.
She wanted to observe her behavior and see it for herself if she was indeed okay.
Nathan already had an idea about it as she told him yesterday about what happened between Alice and Magnus.
"Hi EJ! Hi everyone!" Alice greeted them.
Iris on the other hand greeted Eunji, Nathan and J respectively.
"Mistress! Master Boss! Chief!"
Eunji frowned when she heard Iris' formal greeting.
"Iris, I told you to call me Eunji or EJ, right? If I hear you calling me so formal again, I'll ask Alice to punish you." Eunji warned making the latter to be nervous.
"I sincerely apologize Mis- Eunji! It's only out of habit."
"It's okay. I'm just teasing you. But remember that we're family here. You're already a part of this big family." Eunji smiled warmly towards her afterwards.
"Join us for lunch, will you?" Eunji finally expressed her intention.
Alice looked at Iris and then to the gorgeous men around the table.
She then paused when she looked at Kim Jeong Ho and the latter did the same.
Though they had met before during Nathan and Eunji's weeding, they didn't get the chance to talk. But that was not the first time they had talk.
"Have you two met before Nathan and I's wedding?" Eunji directly asked them.
She herself was aware that Alice and Jeong Ho didn't get the chance to talk during their wedding because the latter was not feeling well as she was also trying to avoid Magnus that time.
"Yeah. We did. Remember the day I told you my late father arranged me to meet someone? That's Mr. Kim."
"What?!" Hua Zhang Wei being Hua Zhang Wei exaggerated his reaction which caught up the attention of others.
Realizing what he had done, he then looked around as he made an apology.
Who would have thought that these rich men were so polite?
"That's right." Jeong Ho confirmed. And then he made it clear for everyone.
"But we made into a mutual understanding that we should oppose on that arrange marriage. I could tell that she was so against the idea of marrying me and based on her reason, she wanted to find love. And I guess she had finally found it. I'm so happy for you Miss Floyd." Kim Jeong Ho said.
"Thank you Mr. Kim. I hope you'll find the woman for you just like I did with Iris." Alice reciprocated and looked proudly at Iris.
"Then that's more reason that you should join us." Eunji butted in the conversation.
"Yeah. Come. Eat with us." Nathan agreed with his wife.
"Thank you Eunji, Master Bai." The couple thanked them and then settled. Jeong Ho decided to sit on the center so Alice and Iris could sit beside each other.
And with that, their lunch was served and they felt hungrier when the servers unveiled them one by one.
Having three pregnant women on the table, the food being served were all healthy and very nutritious for the baby.
But just like the last time, Eunji would always have the urge to vomit when she smelt the smell of the dishes being served on the table.
Because of this, she immediately rushed towards the toilet to vomit.
"Is she going to be okay?" Kelly asked Nathan.
"Yes. She'll be fine and could eat her food after she's done with her vomiting business. Which would lead me to excuse myself because I have to go and follow her." Nathan then wasted no time to stand up and followed her.
Alice and Kelly could only follow the couple with their eyes.
They were glad that their morning sickness and crazy cravings were gone completely.
