Chapter 760: Chapter 699: The Zhan Family’s Son Grown Up (Part 2)

Does eating a lot mean there should be restrictions?

Even in ordinary families, that’s unreasonable.

After coaxing Xia Luo to sleep, Zhan Yunxiao quietly left the house.

Once outside, he first called the person guarding You Mei to ensure she was alright before feeling assured.

Then, he made a call to his father.

Actually, Zhan Hanjue had already sent him a message wanting to meet.

But since Xia Luo hadn’t rested yet, Zhan Yunxiao didn’t want to leave her. He waited for her to fall asleep before contacting his father.

"Dad, you were looking for me?"

"Yes, let’s meet. Where should we meet?"

"How about a bar?" Zhan Yunxiao suggested.

Zhan Hanjue: "What bar? I never go to such places. You’ll only make your mother worry. As someone who’s married with children, you shouldn’t frequent such places either."

"Then where do you suggest we go?"

Zhan Yunxiao could only obediently ask his father for a suggestion, even getting a lecture for just wanting to go to a bar.

"A café. It’s quieter there."

Zhan Yunxiao breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it was a café and not a tea house.

He quickly drove there.

Zhan Hanjue saw him arrive alone and scolded him unhappily: "In the future, take bodyguards with you. What if something happens when you’re alone?"

"Dad, I have the ability to protect myself,"

Zhan Yunxiao said with a wry smile.

"Even so, take people with you next time. Don’t make your mother and wife worry."

Zhan Hanjue sternly advised.

"Alright, I understand. I’ll definitely bring bodyguards next time."

Zhan Yunxiao had no choice but to repeatedly assure his father, hoping to end the topic soon.

Zhan Hanjue ordered a coffee for himself but ordered a juice for his son.

Looking at the juice in front of him, Zhan Yunxiao felt a bit flustered.

Does his father still see him as a child?

"Dad, I’m already an adult. I can drink coffee."

"I’m doing this for Xia Luo’s sake. If you don’t sleep well at night, tossing and turning, you’ll also disturb Xia Luo’s rest. Coffee can cause insomnia, unless you’re willing to sleep on the sofa tonight."

"So, what exactly did you want to talk to me about?" Zhan Yunxiao asked.

Zhan Hanjue: "One of the housemaids called your mother, saying you secretly brought food to Xia Luo."

"That’s something I also wanted to discuss with Mom."

Zhan Yunxiao’s expression turned solemn.

"I understand how you feel, but before you talk, take a look at this data."

Zhan Hanjue wasn’t a man of many words and preferred to base everything on data.

So, he showed a set of data to Zhan Yunxiao before discussing further.

Zhan Yunxiao furrowed his brows in confusion. What data could his father be showing him?

Unexpectedly, he found it was Xia Luo’s daily dietary data?

"Is this... Is this all true?"

Looking at the list, Zhan Yunxiao showed a surprised expression.

He had been busy searching for You Mei these past few days and actually hadn’t paid much attention to Xia Luo’s diet.

He did dine with her, but observing her eat daily seemed normal, with nothing unusual.

It was only after he went to work that she apparently ate that much more?

Even though he felt concerned for her, looking at these reports, he knew her eating was not normal.

"Your mother had the maids record her eating habits daily, apart from the three meals, she was having three snacks and two servings of fruit. Yet she still claimed to be hungry. Without understanding the truth, did you think your mother was deliberately mistreating her, not even allowing her to eat her fill?" Zhan Hanjue said.

Zhan Yunxiao lowered his head in shame.

Before knowing the facts, he indeed had such thoughts.

Although it was a fleeting thought that he quickly dismissed, he undeniably considered it.

Zhan Hanjue saw his son’s expression of both surprise and anger.

He couldn’t believe his son really had such thoughts?

"Xiao, you’ve grown up. You’re a husband and a father to others. You’re no longer the child in your parents’ eyes. While we no longer have the authority to intervene in your life, you must understand that in this world, you can doubt anyone’s intentions except for your mother’s. No one loves you more than she does, and no one hopes more for your well-being."

"I understand. I’m sorry, Dad, I was wrong."

Zhan Yunxiao lowered his head in guilt.

Zhan Hanjue sternly warned once again, "This is the first and last time. Remember my words and keep your promise. If you ever doubt my wife again and make her sad, I will not spare you."

"I understand, Dad. Don’t worry, I won’t make such a mistake again. But can you tell me why this is happening? Why is this going on? What exactly is the situation?"

Zhan Yunxiao apologized and promised again, but he was more concerned about Xia Luo’s health.

Zhan Hanjue said, "This is another reason I wanted to talk to you. Your mother now suspects she has developed an eating disorder."

"An eating disorder?"

"There’s anorexia, so naturally there is an overeating disorder. She has developed such a condition. Always wanting to eat and never feeling full, while constantly feeling famished."

"Why does she have this disorder? Is it because of the pregnancy? Dad, will it harm her body?"

Zhan Yunxiao was anxious and immediately asked.

At that moment, he even thought that if it was because of the pregnancy, he would rather not have the child.

Zhan Hanjue said, "Your mother thinks it could be related to the pregnancy, or it might be due to the trauma of being kidnapped and starved for three days, causing a psychological fear. With the hormonal imbalance from pregnancy, it’s generally a combination of reasons. She is actively searching for solutions and plans to find a psychologist to assess her condition. We haven’t told you all along because we feared you might panic. This isn’t a major problem. If there’s an illness, we treat it, whether physical or psychological. With your mother involved, Xia Luo will certainly be fine."

"If Luoluo gives up the child, will she recover her health?" Zhan Yunxiao asked.
