Chapter 692 Still Exposed (2)
Zhao Youlin hesitated for a moment and was about to answer when a piece of fish flew into her bowl and stopped her.
“This fish is quite nutritious. Eat more.”
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 Youlin’s bowl. “You should eat more meat now.”
Zhao Youlin had no words.
His chopsticks spun around and headed for the green vegetable that was the furthest away. “Eat more vegetables. They have balanced nutrition.”
Zhao Youlin had given up speaking. “And this... this... this... you have to eat all of them.”
Zhao Youlin looked at the mountain-like pile of food in front of her.
Mu Tingfeng’s 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 Tingfeng’s way of serving food to Zhao Youlin.
On the other hand, Zhao Youlin usually ate with her family, and before this, she didn’t know that she had been carrying another life in her stomach. Now that she was aware, Mu Tingfeng’s action made her feel a little awkward.
Mu Tingfeng didn’t 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 wasn’t the way to eat!
“Tingfeng, Youlin didn’t hurt her right hand. You don’t have to personally pick up the food for her, right? She can pick them herself. Besides, you’re picking up too much...” 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 didn’t he give her food once? Su Ruixin was jealous, but Mu Tingfeng’s next sentence made her forget about it.
“Is that much?” Mu Tingfeng frowned and looked at the “mountain” in Zhao Youlin’s bowl. He said disapprovingly, “There are two people in Youlin’s bowl now, so the food should be for two people.”
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, “Tingfeng, what did you just say... two people...” could it be what they thought?
“Yes.” Mu Tingfeng’s cold eyes rippled slightly, like a child who had received his favorite toy. Even his tone was full of pride. “Youlin is pregnant, for more than two months.”
There was a saying. “A stone could start a landslide.”The spoon in Su Ruixin’s hand fell onto the table with a thud. A crack appeared on Mu Xiaoyang’s 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 Tingfeng’s 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. “Pregnant... pregnant, really pregnant?! Oh my God, did I mishear it? Youlin is really pregnant again, pregnant. Hubby, Youlin is pregnant!”
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. “You didn’t hear wrong, you didn’t hear wrong. My daughter-in-law is indeed pregnant again.”
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 wife’s emotions. “Don’t be agitated. Our daughter-in-law just went through a lot today. Those armed men didn’t scare her. But at this rate, you’re going to scare her. You’re the one who’s really...”
Mu Xiaoyang’s words successfully silenced Su Ruixin for a while, but soon, she screamed again. “Oh 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?”
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, “Mom, don’t worry. The child and I are fine. The cut was just superficial. It’s not as serious as you think. The doctor also said that there are no problems. We just have to be careful in the future.”
“How 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, I’ll get the butler to invite our doctor over in a while. He’ll give you a good check-up and we’ll ask him for his thoughts.”
“No... There’s no need. We already went through multiple doctors at the hospital. There’s no need for another.”
“How is that the same?” Su Ruixin looked at Zhao Youlin disapprovingly, “The doctors in the hospital only know how to say some pretty words. How would words be useful? It’s better to let our family’s private doctor take a look. We’ll be more at ease.”
Zhao Youlin opened her mouth and wanted to protest more, but Mu Tingfeng stopped her first. “Mom is doing this for your own good. If you don’t do this, they won’t be at ease.”
You still have the cheek to say that! Zhao Youlin rolled her eyes at Mu Tingfeng. If it weren’t for this guy’s big mouth, would Su Ruixin have gone to such great lengths?
Facing Zhao Youlin’s angry glare, Mu Tingfeng remained unperturbed. There was even a hint of pride in his eyes that he didn’t usually have.
Perhaps it was because he saw Zhao Youlin’s ugly expression. Mu Xiaoyang spoke at the right time and pulled everyone’s attention back to the dining table. “We’ll talk about other things later. Let’s eat first.” “Yes, yes, yes, let’s eat first. Youlin, you must be hungry, right? Eat more, eat more.” 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!
