Chapter 938: Finale (10)
Chi Dali was all smiles. “Okay, okay, okay. Quickly wash up and eat.”
Li Beinian immediately pulled Mu Xichen into the kitchen. By the time they came out, the rice had already been served.
Li Beinian sat down and took a bite from the bowl as she asked, “Daddy, why did you suddenly come to Xia Nation? You hadn’t even mentioned it to me.”
“He wanted to give you a surprise, isn’t that obvious?” Tang Xiaoge looked at her reproachfully. “You didn’t even call me to inform me that you’re coming back. I only found out through your brother, you heartless girl.”
Li Beinian protested loudly, “I told Chi Hailang to pass the message!”
“How is that the same? Do the informing yourself next time.” Chi Dali picked up a piece of spare ribs for her. “Eat more. You haven’t been reacting badly to the pregnancy, I suppose?”
“Not really, I’m in good health.”
Li Beinian picked up the ribs and lowered her head to nibble on them. However, before she could finish, a chicken wing appeared in the small bowl in front of her.
After finishing the pork ribs, she had to finish the chicken wing, and then the vegetables… she was kept extremely busy.
So busy that she didn’t even have an opportunity to respond when the elders talked to her.
Tang Xiaoge asked, “Have you been feeling unwell recently?”
Li Beinian tried to mumble with her mouth full.
“She’s been alright,” Mu Xichen interrupted to help her out. “She’s been sleeping and eating a little more than usual.”
“Do you get morning sickness?”
“No.” Mu Xichen recalled for a moment before he answered. “She retched a little after brushing her teeth this morning.”
Li Beinian said, “…I was only choking on my toothpaste.”
“Oh, oh, oh.” Tang Xiaoge said cheerfully. “That shows my daughter’s in excellent health, not reacting badly to pregnancy. It must be that the babies are playing their part and behaving too!”
“Of course, there are two of them!” Chi Hailang took a sip of the soup and said proudly, “The two little guys are sharing the same space growing together. They know how to behave.”
Li Beinian couldn’t help laughing, however, she was famished and decided to let Mu Xichen manage the conversation.
Chi Dali’s culinary skills were superb, this was obvious from Tang Xiaoge’s physique.
It was Li Beinian’s first time eating so happily in days, hence she was all smiles.
As Mu Xichen spoke to the elders, he did not forget to keep her bowl filled.
Li Beinian lowered her head and continued eating. In the end, she couldn’t eat anymore and quickly stopped him.
The moment she had eaten her fill, she felt sleepy.
Li Beinian cleaned her mouth and sat on the sofa, her eyes narrowing.
The man kept the elders happily entertained. Even Will was drawn into participating in the naming of the child, and telling interesting anecdotes about Nico’s childhood.
As the conversation went on, Mu Xichen turned around and noticed that his wife had fallen asleep.
He smiled apologetically and bade the elders farewell before scooping his sleeping wife up in his arms and heading home.
Nico and Will were heading home as well of course, so he sent them to Qing Shui Fu on the way.
All throughout, Li Beinian slept soundly and showed no signs of waking up.
She slept until late the next day, when she was woken up by a phone call.
Li Beinian reached for her phone in a daze. She raised it to take a look at the screen and saw a string of numbers.
There was no note against it.
It could be a nuisance call.
She disconnected the call and lowered her head to continue sleeping.
However, the second call came quickly. It was still the same person.
Li Beinian reluctantly picked it up and drawled sleepily, “Hello.”
“Li Beinian.” It was a familiar voice.
Li Beinian’s ears twitched. “Lin Kerou?”
Lin Kerou sounded like she laughed for a moment before she said,. “Seems like you still remember me. Let’s meet. I know you’ve returned to Guang City.”
