Indulging Mrs. Lu-Chapter 858 - 855: Never Compete with a Pregnant Woman for Food

It was already eleven o’clock at night when they returned to the mansion.

Lu Jinyang leaned wearily on the sofa with his eyes closed, thinking about what Xiao Yiting said today. He truly didn’t know how to start the conversation with Xiao Qing.

Even if it were him, it would take time to accept such a complex family relationship; no one can digest these shocking family connections in a short time.

Suddenly, there was a sound of metal falling from the kitchen. Lu Jinyang abruptly opened his eyes, looked towards the kitchen, and immediately stood up to walk over.

Xiao Qing was in the middle of cooking noodles and accidentally knocked the lid off. She was startled herself. She sighed and shook her head, preparing to bend down to pick up the lid, only to find a large hand reached out faster than she did.

"Jinyang~"

"Mm." Lu Jinyang placed the lid back in its place, glanced at the noodles in the pot, and asked, "Are you hungry?"

"Mm." Xiao Qing was a little embarrassed, "Lately I’ve been waking up hungry at night, so I wanted to eat a little before sleeping to get a better rest."

Lu Jinyang just stood there looking at her, separated by a belly as big as a ball. He looked at her with guilt, "I’m sorry, there’s been too much going on recently, and you’ve had to bear the burden."

"What are you talking about?" Xiao Qing chuckled, "Nanny Zhang is at home. I just didn’t want to wake her up to cook, so I did it myself."

"You go rest in the living room; I’ll take over."

"Ah?"

"I’m hungry too."

"..."

Seeing Lu Jinyang already walking to the pot, Xiao Qing laughed and stood at the kitchen door watching him.

Lu Jinyang noticed out of the corner of his eye that she was standing at the door without leaving, so he let her stay there. Five minutes later, he walked out with a steaming bowl of noodles, "Let’s go, let’s eat."

"Mm." 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Her belly was growing day by day, and the baby needed more nutrients daily. Xiao Qing used to eat very little, but now her appetite was a bit bigger than before, though it could only match Lu Xinyun’s.

Noticing Lu Jinyang watching her, Xiao Qing picked up some noodles with chopsticks and passed them over, "Want some?"

He shook his head, "I’m not going to fight a pregnant woman for food."

"..."

After eating the noodles, Xiao Qing wanted to take the bowl back to the kitchen, but Lu Jinyang stopped her and walked over to pick her up by the waist.

She exclaimed, "What are you doing? Put me down quickly."

"Didn’t you say you get hungry fast? I’m carrying you upstairs to save your energy."

Perhaps it was just Xiao Qing’s imagination, but tonight Lu Jinyang seemed different from the busy version of him in the past few days. No matter how much he cared for her before, he always seemed a bit stretched thin. But now...

Xiao Qing didn’t ask.

Back in the room, he let Xiao Qing down and went to the bathroom for a quick shower. Xiao Qing watched as the man appeared before her in the blink of an eye, feeling quite speechless.

Mr. Lu, are you sure you’re clean?

Lu Jinyang saw the look in her eyes and knew she doubted him. He smiled and slipped into bed, pulling her into his arms, "If you’re unsure if I’m clean, you can smell and find out."

Xiao Qing gently nudged him, "You’re being improper again."

"Mm, being proper for too long makes me not want to be proper anymore." Saying that, his large hand gently touched her belly, "How many months left?"

"Almost there. The doctor said once it’s full term, we can choose a day for a C-section."

"Does it have to be a C-section?" He remembered Leng Yixing saying there’s no pain comparable to a caesarean.

Xiao Qing turned around to face him, "What’s wrong? Generally, if the first child is born by C-section, the second one usually has to be. Sigh~ I initially said I didn’t want a C-section, but the position of the two babies wasn’t good."
