Chapter 759: Chapter 699: A Son of the Zhan Family Comes of Age

Zhan Yunxiao was startled and turned his head to look at the servant with displeasure.

"The Young Madam is the mistress of this house, not a prisoner. Do we need to get your permission for what she eats?"

"It’s not that I don’t allow it, it’s that the Madam doesn’t allow it."

The servant explained with great grievance.

Zhan Yunxiao frowned.

He knows his mother well, and she is not a demanding person.

She is very understanding towards outsiders, but why is she so different with Xia Luo?

A surge of displeasure rose in his heart, but he didn’t want to criticize his mother in front of the servant.

"I understand, I will explain this to my mother, I’ll take the food up first. If she asks, I won’t let her blame you."

Zhan Yunxiao insisted on taking the food upstairs.

The servant certainly didn’t dare stop him, only stood and watched him leave.

However, after Zhan Yunxiao went upstairs, she immediately called Ye Ningwan.

"Madam, I’m sorry, it’s not that I didn’t stop him, it’s that I didn’t dare stop the Young Master. You know very well the Young Master’s temper; if I continued to stop him, he would be very angry."

"I understand, you’ve done very well in this matter, leave the rest to me to handle," Ye Ningwan said.

Hanging up the phone, she furrowed her brows and pondered.

Zhan Hanjue came over and hugged her from behind.

"What’s troubling you so much? Tell me, maybe I can help."

"It’s about your son again."

Ye Ningwan felt uncomfortable in his embrace and pushed him away irritably.

"Xiao? What’s wrong with Xiao?" Zhan Hanjue asked in surprise.

Ye Ningwan said, "I don’t know if I should tell Xiao about Xia Luo’s situation. I’m afraid if I tell him, he’ll worry, and also afraid that Xia Luo will have a psychological burden."

"So it’s that matter," Zhan Hanjue said, "I think you should tell them. They’re already adults and soon to be parents, they have some capacity to endure. If we keep protecting them blindly, they’ll never grow up."

"It’s easy for you to say, but I can’t bear it in my heart," Ye Ningwan sighed.

"If you don’t want to say it, I’ll tell them. I’ll explain it," Zhan Hanjue said.

Ye Ningwan’s eyes brightened: "That’s a good idea, let’s go with that. You’ll tell Xiao."

Zhan Hanjue: "..."

Watching Ye Ningwan leave happily, why does he feel like he’s been set up?

Anyway, as long as his wife is happy, it’s okay to be set up.

Someone has to be the villain, naturally, it should be him.

Meanwhile, Zhan Hanjue brought the food upstairs, and Xia Luo’s eyes lit up.

"I’m starving, I’m starving. Hurry and give me the pastries. Peel the fruit for me, cut it into small pieces, okay?"

"Eat slowly; no one is going to take it from you. I’ll peel an apple for you."

Zhan Yunxiao watched tenderly as Xia Luo wolfed down the pastries, and quickly took out a fruit knife to peel the apple for her.

He cut it into small pieces as she requested.

Xia Luo had already gobbled up a piece of pastry in a few bites by then.

After finishing the pastry, she started to eat the fruit.

She used a fruit fork to eat slowly, taking small bites, quite different from how she ate the pastries.

Zhan Yunxiao laughed and said, "You were so rushed with the pastries, I thought you were really hungry. Now you’re acting quite refined."

"You don’t understand," Xia Luo sighed, "I was really hungry earlier, wanting to devour it all at once. But luckily, eating a bit relieved it, now I’m much better. So the fruit must be eaten slowly because there’s only this much; if I eat too fast, I’ll still feel hungry."

Zhan Yunxiao: "..."

"Luoluo, I’m sorry, I’ve been busy looking for You Mei these days and didn’t know you weren’t getting enough to eat. It’s my fault, I’ve scolded the servant and will talk to my mother too. I can’t let her be so harsh on you."

Zhan Yunxiao hugged his beloved wife tightly.

He wished to give her the best in the world.

But he let his beloved wife go hungry?

Just thinking about it makes him want to punish himself.

"Don’t say that, Mother wasn’t harsh on me, don’t blame her. It’s my fault for eating so much; that’s why Mother had to have the servants limit me."

Xia Luo quickly explained to him with guilt.

However, the more she said, the more Zhan Yunxiao felt he owed her.

No matter what, how could he let her go hungry?

She doesn’t weigh much; how could she eat too much?

Even if she eats more, it’s reasonable. She’s pregnant and should eat more.
