Chapter 693 Chain Reaction (1)
The butler could not help but smile as he listened to their conversation. He took a glance at the dishes on the table, thought for a moment, and quickly returned to the kitchen. He instructed the cook to add a few more appetizing side dishes.
Zhao Youlin did not escape the fate of being surrounded by people. Su Ruixin’s sparkling eyes stared at her for the entire meal as if she had seen gold. Zhao Youlin was so depressed that her appet.i.te was quickly dying. After hastily swallowing the mountain of food in front of her, she refused to touch the food that Mu Tingfeng and family had brought over. Even so, Zhao Youlin did not disappoint the public… she had eaten her fill!
After the meal, Su Ruixin did as she said and called the private doctor of the Mu family to check Zhao Youlin inside and out.
The former master of the Mu family, who was overseas, called the doctor immediately after he was a.s.sured that Zhao Youlin was really
fine.
The former master had gone abroad to recuperate a few months ago. He was still a little confused when he received Su Ruixin’s call. He finally understood why Su Ruixin was so excited after hearing Su Ruixin’s incoherent explanation.
After a few seconds of silence, he ordered his men to book the plane tickets immediately and prepared to return to the country as soon as possible!
Zhao Youlin was shocked. She quickly s.n.a.t.c.hed Su Ruixin’s phone and advised, “Grandfather, you don’t have to come back. I’m fine, and so is the child. Anyway, it’s going to snow over at your place in a month’s time. We can bring Joy over by then.”
The former master fell silent again. It took him a long time to force out a single word. “Yes.” Zhao Youlin heaved a sigh of relief. The way she looked at Mu Tingfeng was filled with even more pain.
“It’s finally over.” Zhao Youlin lay on the wide and soft bed and let out a sigh of relief.
The enthusiasm of Su Ruixin and the Mu family’s servants was really hard for her to handle. Fortunately, Joy was brought over by his Aunt Su Qing to play on that day and would only come back tomorrow. Otherwise, the house would be even more chaotic.
Mu Tingfeng could not help but smile helplessly as he looked at her from the bedside.
Zhao Youlin seemed to feel the gazes of the people around her. She turned her head and saw Mu Tingfeng’s smiling eyes. Her face darkened. She suddenly straightened her body and reached out to grab Mu Tingfeng’s belt. She pulled him down to face her. “Stop laughing already. You still have the gall to smile. If it wasn’t for you, I would have…”
“What?” Mu Tingfeng was a little surprised that Zhao Youlin suddenly pulled him over. However, this surprise didn’t last long before it turned into a gaze full of ridicule. Mu Tingfeng looked into Zhao Youlin’s eyes at a close distance and said in a low voice, “You didn’t want them to know?”
Zhao Youlin felt a little awkward. “Not really. I just didn’t want them to know so soon.”
Although she was thrilled to have a child, this news had struck her too abruptly. She was still in the process of getting over it. She needed some time to adapt, not have so many changes happen all of a sudden…
Mu Tingfeng seemed to have seen through her thoughts. He sighed softly, lowered his head and pressed it against her forehead. He said softly, “They have to know. They are very happy and they care about you.” “I know they care about me, but there’s no need to be so exaggerated, right?” Zhao Youlin mumbled. For her mother-in-law’s case, it was probably because of her past with the original Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng. She felt inexplicably guilty towards her and joy. Ever since she entered the house again, Su Ruixin’s att.i.tude towards her had been exaggerated. Now that she had a child, she would not leave her alone. Zhao Youlin could not bear it.
She was not some fragile porcelain doll. Did she have to be so careful? It made her feel uncomfortable all over.
Of course, there was another reason. The child was already more than two months old. She, Mu Tingfeng, and especially her, as the mother of the child, did not have any sense of self-awareness at all. They even foolishly picked fights with others.
Fortunately, she had always been in very good shape. Even after torturing the child, she was fine. Otherwise, it could have turned into a lifelong regret! She did not know how to explain it to the elders. Fortunately, fortunately…
“There’s nothing wrong with them fussing over you. You are now the biggest treasure in our family. If possible, my mother would like to wors.h.i.+p you and not have anyone else touch you. What happened today is just the tip of the iceberg.”
Zhao Youlin was embarra.s.sed. She held her forehead helplessly and said, “This is going to be bad, right? I’m just carrying a child. It’s not like I’m carrying a mountain of gold. Is there a need to make such a fuss?”
Of course! In their eyes, the little thing in your stomach was much more important than any mountain of gold or silver.
Mu Tingfeng thought so in his heart, but he didn’t show it on his face. Anyway, she would soon understand the meaning of his words. It was better to experience these things first-hand to understand the mystery behind
them.
Mu Tingfeng said nothing else. He laid on the bed with Zhao Youlin’s hand. After hesitating for a moment, he reached out to touch Zhao Youlin’s stomach.
Zhao Youlin was shocked, but she didn’t stop him. She only watched Mu Tingfeng’s movements with her bright eyes.
The b.u.mp that had only been there for more than two months wasn’t particularly obvious. It was just that Mu Tingfeng now hugged Zhao Youlin to sleep almost every night, so he would more or less notice some differences. For example… Zhao Youlin’s waist was a little thicker than when they had just gotten married.
However, Zhao Youlin had been eating a lot recently, and the changes were too subtle. Before this, Mu Tingfeng had only thought that Zhao Youlin had gained a little weight, so he hadn’t thought of it that way. Now, he touched her belly. Thinking of the child they shared, Mu Tingfeng felt his heart swell up. Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng had been together for so long. How could she not see the complicated feelings in Mu Tingfeng’s heart? She smiled slightly, held Mu Tingfeng’s hand, and took the initiative to lean over to kiss Mu Tingfeng’s lips.
Zhao Youlin’s kiss separated immediately. When Mu Tingfeng came back to his senses, Zhao Youlin had already laid back on the bed.
Mu Tingfeng’s deep eyes darkened. He leaned over and held Zhao Youlin’s face. “Thank you.”
Zhao Youlin couldn’t help but laugh. She also reached out to touch the side of Mu Tingfeng’s face and said in a low voice, “Silly, we don’t need to thank each other.”
Two people, one life, one marriage.
Mu Tingfeng’s eyes lost their focus. He couldn’t hold it in any longer and leaned over to kiss Zhao Youlin’s lips.
The two of them hugged each other intimately and stuck close to each other, carefully and solemnly.
The night was hazy. The breeze of late autumn blew past the curtains by the side of their room, bringing with it a series of tinkling sounds. The warmth and beauty of the room was something that no one could bear to break.
