Becoming The Bigshot's Only Love After Breaking Her Engagement
Chapter 750 - 695: A Son of the Zhan Family Comes of Age
Zhan Yunxiao is extremely worried.
As a man, how could he let his beloved wife go hungry?
This is an unforgivable, intolerable crime.
"Wait, I’ll get you another bowl right away."
Zhan Yunxiao carried the bowl downstairs.
Just as Ye Ningwan and Zhan Hanjue arrived, they saw him coming down with an empty bowl and asked in surprise, "Has Luoluo woken up?"
"Yes, she’s awake. She said she’s hungry, so I’m getting her a bowl of porridge."
"That’s understandable, she’s been hungry for days and fainted from it. Of course, she’d feel hungry upon waking. You should quickly get her a bowl of porridge, she just woke up and can’t eat too much, nor anything too greasy, something light is best," Ye Ningwan advised.
When Yunxiao heard "can’t eat too much," his expression split a little.
"Mom, ’can’t eat too much’... how much is that exactly?"
Ye Ningwan thought for a moment and answered very professionally, "Considering Xia Luo’s physique and usual intake, two bowls would be too much, so no more than one and a half bowls."
Zhan Yunxiao: "..."
"What? She’s eaten a bowl already and still feels hungry?"
Ye Ningwan noticed her son’s odd expression, looked at the bowl again, and saw it was used, frowning as she asked.
"She’s already had three bowls and still feels hungry."
Despite fearing a possible reprimand, Zhan Yunxiao couldn’t help but tell the truth for Xia Luo’s health.
Ye Ningwan: "..."
"You little rascal, are you really thinking? Three bowls and you still let her eat, are you hoping she’ll eat herself to death?"
"But she said she’s hungry, I can’t just leave her hungry."
Zhan Yunxiao got a slap from his mom and felt quite aggrieved.
"She just woke up, feeling hungry is normal. Never mind, I’ll go up and check the situation myself. I told you to take care of her, and is this how you take care of someone? Ridiculous, I better call my student over to look after Luoluo, so she won’t be spoiled by your care."
Ye Ningwan, frustrated by her son’s lack, quickly went upstairs to check on Xia Luo.
Zhan Yunxiao was utterly speechless.
He put down the bowl and said, "I’ll go up to take a look too."
Zhan Hanjue stopped him, "You’re only going to cause more trouble if you go up there now. Your mom’s there, why worry? Right now, that You Mei hasn’t been found, she’s like a ticking time bomb, you’d better find her quickly, that’s the real priority."
"She installed more than one camera in the basement, though godmother destroyed one, there were others that weren’t destroyed at the time. So, she definitely knows we’ve been there and is afraid to go back. But I’ll have people continue watching there, she’s a smart woman, she knows the most dangerous place is also the safest, so she might secretly sneak back," Zhan Yunxiao said.
Zhan Hanjue nodded, "Search the whole city, she left the basement and surely hasn’t gone far. I’ve got people at the airports and stations, police are looking everywhere for her too, hopefully she’ll be found soon."
"I’ll go upstairs for a bit, ask Luoluo, maybe she knows something."
Zhan Yunxiao couldn’t stay downstairs, still wanted to go up to check on his wife.
Zhan Hanjue saw his helpless demeanor and couldn’t help but feel exasperated.
However, he’d been young once too, had fiercely loved someone once.
So, putting himself in those shoes, he could understand his son’s feelings.
"If you want to go up, go ahead, but if your mom scolds you, don’t blame me for not warning you," Zhan Hanjue reminded him.
"Don’t worry, my mom won’t scold me."
Zhan Yunxiao smiled and ran upstairs.
At that moment, he seemed very much like a twenty-year-old boy, full of youthful energy, even his steps were brimming with vitality.
Zhan Hanjue shook his head with a smile, and went off to handle business matters.
In his son’s current state, he surely won’t have the heart for work right now, only concerned about his delicate wife.
Therefore, as a father, he naturally had to take up the responsibility and visit the company more.
Xia Luo had already been critiqued by Ye Ningwan.
When Zhan Yunxiao went upstairs, he saw Xia Luo looking at him pitifully.
Feeling soft-hearted, Zhan Yunxiao quietly asked, "Still feeling hungry?"
Xia Luo nodded.
Ye Ningwan said, "Even if you’re hungry, you can’t eat anymore, three bowls is plenty considering your intake. Eat more, and once you don’t feel hungry, you’ll be overly full. Let me give you a piece of candy, keep it in your mouth, and you won’t feel hungry."
"Thanks, Mom."
One candy is better than none.
Xia Luo was still quite happy, it helped to alleviate the feeling of hunger somewhat.
Once Ye Ningwan left, Zhan Yunxiao quickly lowered his voice and said to her, "A bit later I’ll get you something tasty."
