Chapter 692 - Still Exposed (2)
Fierce Ex-wife: President, Please Be Careful
Zhao Youlin hesitated for a moment and was about to answer when a piece of fish flew into her bowl and stopped her.
âThis fish is quite nutritious. Eat more.â
Zhao Youlin was speechless. Before she could react, his chopsticks reached for the braised meat on the side. The largest and most delicious piece of the dish was placed into Zhao Youlinâs bowl. âYou should eat more meat now.â
Zhao Youlin had no words.
His chopsticks spun around and headed for the green vegetable that was the furthest away. âEat more vegetables. They have balanced nutrition.â
Zhao Youlin had given up speaking. âAnd this... this... this... you have to eat all of them.â
Zhao Youlin looked at the mountain-like pile of food in front of her.
Mu Tingfengâs actions not only scared Zhao Youlin, but everyone else at the table.
The two of them usually spent time alone outside, and rarely came back to eat. This was the first time they had seen Mu Tingfengâs way of serving food to Zhao Youlin.
On the other hand, Zhao Youlin usually ate with her family, and before this, she didnât know that she had been carrying another life in her stomach. Now that she was aware, Mu Tingfengâs action made her feel a little awkward.
Mu Tingfeng didnât care about what the others thought. At that moment, he was in an extremely good mood, so he picked up a bunch of dishes for Zhao Youlin.
Su Ruixin could no longer stand it. Although she did say that Zhao Youlin should eat more and fatten up, eating more wasnât the way to eat!
âTingfeng, Youlin didnât hurt her right hand. You donât have to personally pick up the food for her, right? She can pick them herself. Besides, youâre picking up too much...â It was too much! It was as if the whole table was meant for Youlin.
After all, Mu Tingfeng was her child. He had come from her very womb. Why didnât he give her food once? Su Ruixin was jealous, but Mu Tingfengâs next sentence made her forget about it.
âIs that much?â Mu Tingfeng frowned and looked at the âmountainâ in Zhao Youlinâs bowl. He said disapprovingly, âThere are two people in Youlinâs bowl now, so the food should be for two people.â
Zhao Youlin covered her face silently, unable to look directly at him. Su Ruixin and Mu Xiaoyang were stunned on the spot. They looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
After a long while, they seemed to have suddenly understood something. They stared at the two of them with wide eyes and said with a trembling voice, âTingfeng, what did you just say... two people...â could it be what they thought?
âYes.â Mu Tingfengâs cold eyes rippled slightly, like a child who had received his favorite toy. Even his tone was full of pride. âYoulin is pregnant, for more than two months.â
There was a saying. âA stone could start a landslide.âThe spoon in Su Ruixinâs hand fell onto the table with a thud. A crack appeared on Mu Xiaoyangâs expressionless face. The Old Butler, who was fresh out of the kitchen and about to come over to serve them, was also stunned when he heard Mu Tingfengâs words. He stood there in a daze and looked at Zhao Youlin in surprise.
Silence spread across the dining table. In a split second, Su Ruixin stood up as if someone had accidentally pressed a switch. She was so excited that she could not even finish her words. âPregnant... pregnant, really pregnant?! Oh my God, did I mishear it? Youlin is really pregnant again, pregnant. Hubby, Youlin is pregnant!â
Su Ruixin pulled her husband up as she spoke, as if she wanted him to help her prove that she had not misheard it.
Mu Xiaoyang quickly pulled Su Ruixin to his side to prevent her from doing anything too extreme due to her excitement. âYou didnât hear wrong, you didnât hear wrong. My daughter-in-law is indeed pregnant again.â
Zhao Youlin listened to the conversation between her parents-in-law. She lowered her head and wished she could bury her entire face in a bowl and remain there. What was with this inexplicable sense of shame? She was only carrying a baby in her stomach. Why did it feel like the whole world was overjoyed? This did not make sense!
Mu Xiaoyang tried his best to calm his wifeâs emotions. âDonât be agitated. Our daughter-in-law just went through a lot today. Those armed men didnât scare her. But at this rate, youâre going to scare her. Youâre the one whoâs really...â
Mu Xiaoyangâs words successfully silenced Su Ruixin for a while, but soon, she screamed again. âOh my God, why did I forget about that? Yuelin, are you alright? I heard from your mother that you had a fight with armed men today. Did you hurt anything other than your arm? Is the child alright? Do you need to go for another check-up?â
Zhao Youlin had already expected that she would have to go through a lot of trouble once she heard about this. She spun angrily at Mu Tingfeng and threw him a scathing glare before turning around to smile awkwardly and say, âMom, donât worry. The child and I are fine. The cut was just superficial. Itâs not as serious as you think. The doctor also said that there are no problems. We just have to be careful in the future.â
âHow can I not be worried? You guys have been married for a few months. It has not been easy to conceive, yet you actually got into a fight! No, Iâll get the butler to invite our doctor over in a while. Heâll give you a good check-up and weâll ask him for his thoughts.â
âNo... Thereâs no need. We already went through multiple doctors at the hospital. Thereâs no need for another.â
âHow is that the same?â Su Ruixin looked at Zhao Youlin disapprovingly, âThe doctors in the hospital only know how to say some pretty words. How would words be useful? Itâs better to let our familyâs private doctor take a look. Weâll be more at ease.â
Zhao Youlin opened her mouth and wanted to protest more, but Mu Tingfeng stopped her first. âMom is doing this for your own good. If you donât do this, they wonât be at ease.â
You still have the cheek to say that! Zhao Youlin rolled her eyes at Mu Tingfeng. If it werenât for this guyâs big mouth, would Su Ruixin have gone to such great lengths?
Facing Zhao Youlinâs angry glare, Mu Tingfeng remained unperturbed. There was even a hint of pride in his eyes that he didnât usually have.
Perhaps it was because he saw Zhao Youlinâs ugly expression. Mu Xiaoyang spoke at the right time and pulled everyoneâs attention back to the dining table. âWeâll talk about other things later. Letâs eat first.â âYes, yes, yes, letâs eat first. Youlin, you must be hungry, right? Eat more, eat more.â Su Ruixin, who had thought that Mu Tingfeng was exaggerating just now, said, not only did she not think that what Mu Tingfeng did just now was wrong, she even joined the feeding team, wishing that she could feed the entire table to Zhao Youlin.
Zhao Youlin felt like putting up a white flag. She was really going to be fed like a pig!
