Chapter 1425 - 1427

"Wow, such a sumptuous meal." Gong Ruini was amazed by the dishes coming up one after another.

It was truly as rich as it could be, and her stomach, which had already started to protest, was now sounding its strongest objections.

In the past, when Gong Ruini heard the protesting sounds from her stomach, she would feel quite embarrassed.

Now, Gong Ruini was more thick-skinned, as it wasn’t her who was hungry, but the baby.

But since the baby is small and can’t express her thoughts, she has to rely on her mom to speak for her.

Zhao Xuran heard his wife’s stomach constantly protesting, and without caring for table manners, said, "Mom and Dad, let me serve some food for Ni Zi first."

At this time, Ni Zi would only not be hungry if there were a problem.

Zhao Xuran realized that he was really foolish; he clearly had snacks in his bag but forgot to give them to Ni Zi, indeed he was quite upset by Gong Ruwen today.

Even though he successfully proposed, Zhao Xuran really wouldn’t want to mention the process if he could because it was too embarrassing.

Zhao Xuran proceeded to pick various foods that Gong Ruini likes as well as those she doesn’t, but which are nutritious, for her.

"I don’t want to eat carrots." Gong Ruini looked displeased as carrot was about to enter her rice bowl.

In her previous life, she didn’t say she liked carrots very much, but at least she wasn’t the kind that hated them much. However, in this life, she sincerely couldn’t make herself like them.

In Northeast during the winter, where vegetables were scarce, aside from cabbages and dried vegetables, carrots that are easy to preserve were naturally kept quite a bit.

The result was that during winter, Gong Ruini ate a lot of carrots.

At that time, she had no choice but to eat them, so she could only swallow them back with a stiff neck.

But now there are so many choices, who would be willing to eat such tasteless things.

"Brother Xu Ran, the baby doesn’t like carrots." Gong Ruini didn’t think using her own name could help her avoid eating carrots.

Ni Zi was resisting eating carrots with various excuses, all increasingly clever, "Is it you who doesn’t like to eat them, or the baby?"

"I’ve read about it and asked the doctor; even if the baby doesn’t particularly like carrots, it would still eat a bit every day."

"This way you can supplement carotene."

Ah, this guy was secretly reading a book and Gong Ruini was quite displeased, "Aren’t there those pills that supplement this?"

Gong Ruini suddenly remembered about the names of vitamin supplements during this time, hence she spoke vaguely.

"Can you randomly take medicine?" Cai Meina was furious on the side, "You were picky with food before, it’s okay since it was only about you."

"But the current situation is different, you are two people."

Cai Meina turned to Zhao Xuran, "Don’t pamper her, thinking she’s so capable."

"By spoiling her like this, you are actually harming her."

"Those vitamin tablets sound good, but do they really benefit the body?"

"I just know that medicine is three parts poison."

"Since you can supplement vitamins through food, why not do it through eating veggies, as if vitamin tablets are free."

My goodness, Gong Ruini was lectured so authoritatively by Cai Meina that she couldn’t lift her head; actually, she wanted to say, isn’t buying vegetables also spending money?

Moreover, swallowing a vitamin pill would unknowingly supplement so many vitamins, which is far better than eating vegetables.

The problem is, can she say this? Gong Ruini was certain that if she dared to express that idea, Cai Meina would definitely suppress her with numerous words.

It’s better to be honest; as smart as Gong Ruini, she of course knew how to choose, sitting quietly in her seat listening to Cai Meina’s lecture.

Though Zhao Xuran would occasionally make concessions, he wouldn’t yield on many crucial issues.

Unexpectedly, without causing unhappiness by standing against his wife, his mother-in-law stood up first and scolded Gong Ruini into being quite obedient, which gave him a sigh of relief.

"Mom, I understand, I won’t be soft-hearted." Zhao Xuran gave Gong Ruini a look of helplessness, indicating his reluctance.

Hmph, I’m not looking at you, who doesn’t know what your real intentions are? If it weren’t for Mom, Gong Ruini didn’t believe that Zhao Xuran wouldn’t put carrots into her bowl.

"It’s true, your acting skills are getting stronger; train a bit more and you could go acting." Gong Ruini indignantly put the carrots in her bowl into her mouth.

Anyways, she has to eat eventually; might as well finish them early.

Zhao Xuran watched as Gong Ruini angrily stuffed carrots into her mouth, feeling a bit helpless as well.

How could he not know why Ni Zi disliked carrots, isn’t it because she had eaten too many of them in her childhood, leading to her rejecting these vegetables?

Previously, Zhao Xuran didn’t take it seriously; if his wife didn’t like them, she didn’t like them—it’s not as if she doesn’t have the right to dislike certain dishes.

But the current situation is somewhat special, if Ni Zi doesn’t eat it’s okay, but if it affects the baby, what then?

Zhao Xuran watched Gong Ruini eat the carrots today with quite some motivation, or rather watched by others; even if she didn’t want to eat, she had to force herself, so he thought if he should add more carrots.

But after thinking for a moment, he decided to give up; she’d already been enraged previous times, if he added more, he’d worry this girl might completely rebel.

Zhao Xuran gave up on having Gong Ruini continue eating carrots, but Cai Meina didn’t give up.

Gong Ruini barely cleared the carrots from her bowl, thinking she could finally eat the meat she loves, only to be scared by carrots appearing in her bowl again.

How did they show up again? Humph, told you not to give Zhao Xuran face; see, once you retreat a step, someone starts to invade inch by inch.

"Ah, I don’t want to eat." Gong Ruini raised her pouty mouth, "It’s important to supplement carotene, but today’s amount should be enough."

"Enough? Meat is good, but you can’t eat too much of it," Cai Meina used to think now that conditions were better, eating more meat was fine.

But seeing her daughter gain weight swiftly over recent days, Cai Meina couldn’t help but feel various kinds of worry.

"Ah, well, I.." Gong Ruini knew that she had been eating quite a bit of meat these days.

But wasn’t it due to the special circumstances, like she is a pregnant woman, who naturally needs to eat all sorts of items to supplement energy, otherwise how would the baby grow?

"You need to eat more, but vitamins should be supplemented as well; if you keep eating meat, I truly worry you’ll become a pig." Cai Meina said something that completely shocked Gong Ruini.

Pig? Oh my God, Gong Ruini was terrified by Cai Meina’s words, if not for Zhao Xuran seeing the situation was bad and holding her tightly, she was truly going to fall off the chair.

From childhood to adulthood, Gong Ruini knew she wasn’t the slender type, but she definitely wasn’t a pig; how far she was from pig standards was unknown.

Unexpectedly, she just became pregnant not long ago and already she heard such an earth-shattering statement.

Gong Tao naturally heard Cai Meina’s words too, Gong Tao slightly angrily tugged at Cai Meina, "How could you speak like this."

"Look at how you scared Ni Zi."

"Ni Zi, don’t listen to your mom, you’re not fat, you have a baby." Gong Tao really didn’t understand why Cai Meina spoke so excessively.

Their own daughter wasn’t eating out of her own will, but because the baby in her belly was demanding to eat.

If it weren’t for the in-laws and the son-in-law being present, Gong Tao would have wanted to ask Cai Meina if she’s really Ni Zi’s biological mom, how could a biological mom speak so unkindly.
