Chapter 1374: Chapter 1373: Beloved Little Darling 4
Ye Xingguang hardened her heart, thinking that losing face was better than being scared to death!
She simply let Ye Junqing hold her openly until the thunder ended. But tonight’s weather was bad, with thunder claps echoing occasionally. She didn’t want to leave her husband’s embrace at all.
People at the table curiously asked, "What’s wrong with Mrs. Ye? Are you feeling unwell? You look so pale."
Ye Junqing, while holding her, picked food for her, "It’s nothing serious, she just likes to stick to me. Even at home, she prefers to eat in my embrace."
Ye Xingguang reached out and heavily pinched Ye Junqing’s waist, wondering what nonsense he was spouting.
The others were forcibly fed dog food: "..."
"Mr. Ye and Mrs. Ye have such a great relationship." So good that they didn’t want to eat at the same table.
Ye Junqing smiled but said nothing.
Lin Hanfeng introduced Xia Siyuan to his elders and friends. After a round, seeing her a bit tired, he directly took her to the resting room to relax. He complained to her, "Banquets are exhausting, socializing everywhere. The food looks delicious, but honestly, it’s just so-so. You rest here, I’ll have someone bring you something tastier."
"What tasty food?"
Lately, Xia Siyuan was treating Lin Hanfeng as her gourmet expert. Anything he brought her, she ate with great relish.
Xia Siyuan pinched the flesh on her belly, "At this rate, I might not be able to slim down. I was very slim before I got pregnant."
Pregnancy inherently causes weight gain, and eating well during month confinement. Now, she’s afraid to step on the electronic scale, wearing loose clothes every day, she’s quite worried about her future.
Lin Hanfeng said, "First, recover your health, eat and drink as needed. As for weight, worry about it later."
Xia Siyuan thought it through too; surviving is a priority, dieting can be postponed.
"Then you go attend to your matters outside, I’ll wait here for the food you send over. Tonight there are lots of people, you must have many social engagements, hurry up and go."
After Lin Hanfeng left, within three minutes, lots of delicious food was brought in, each dish seemed really tempting.
Xia Siyuan didn’t focus on her mouth, luckily each plate wasn’t much, just a variety of dishes. It seemed Lin Hanfeng didn’t have much confidence in her self-control either...
She finished eating, took a nap in the resting room, and didn’t know how long she slept. She was startled awake by the thunder.
There seemed to be a handsome figure beside her, playing with a child.
Xia Siyuan rubbed her sleep-deprived head and sat up, realizing that outside the windows, scenes were rushing by. Surprisingly, she was lying in a car, not the resting room.
"Awake? Did the thunder wake you? Go back to sleep, I’ll wake you when we’re home." Lin Hanfeng’s voice was gentle.
"Why am I in the car?"
"The banquet ended, I saw you sleeping soundly and couldn’t bear to wake you."
Xia Siyuan was a bit dazed, "Then how did I end up in the car?"
"Oh, sorry, I carried you without asking for your consent, but your parents were there at the time. They agreed, even allowing me to take you to my house tonight."
"Ah?" Xia Siyuan suddenly stood up, hitting her head on the car roof, grimacing in pain.
Lin Hanfeng tightened his voice, "Why so excited? Didn’t hurt yourself, did you?"
She wasn’t excited; she was clearly shocked, at a loss for words. How could her parents sell her out while she was sleeping?
She’s their biological daughter!
Lin Hanfeng found her embarrassed look particularly amusing, he cleared his throat, "Your parents said we’ve already had a child... um, life is short, enjoy it while you can... Youngsters shouldn’t be bound by rules, just be happy... those were the exact words."
Xia Siyuan: "..."
Do her parents think she’s in the late stages of cancer, not having many days left, so they’re asking her to enjoy life while she can?
