It's Friday again, and Jian Yunong is going home to have dinner with Huo Jincheng.
This time, the long-absent Le Yi is also back for dinner.
Huo's mother asks about Le Yi's husband, Yi Nansheng, and why he isn't joining them.
Le Yi smiles and lies, "He's been very busy lately with the company's listing."
Huo Jincheng's mother doesn't press further.
Huo Liangchen returns with Bai Ru, bringing wedding invitations to distribute to everyone on the spot.
The date is set for next week.
It's urgent and quite pressing.
Grandma Huo can't help but ask if it's too rushed.
Huo Liangchen feels that marrying Bai Ru has already been rushed enough and can't wait any longer. If he weren't worried about the wedding not being detailed enough, he would even plan to get married this week.
The other members of the Huo Family secretly glance at Huo Jincheng.
After all, Bai Ru was once Huo Jincheng's favorite. The Huo Family had firmly opposed her entering the family and was against their relationship. Now, Bai Ru has successfully entered the family by marrying Huo Jincheng's older brother.
Life is truly full of drama.
Mountains and rivers meet everywhere.
Huo Jincheng remains expressionless. After receiving the invitation, he congratulates them. He hands the invitation to Jian Yunong and then holds her hand, saying, "I had Sister Zhang make your favorite Boiled Shrimp."
Jian Yunong smiles and replies, "But peeling shrimp is such a hassle."
How could a foodie find it troublesome?
Jian Yunong is just being playful.
Huo Jincheng understands her meaning, and the smile on his lips grows more indulgent, "Just eat, become a big fatso."
Jian Yunong lightly hums; she doesn't gain weight, okay?
Bai Ru coldly looks on and turns her head away.
At the dining table, a plate of shrimp is served. Grandma Huo smiles and says, "This must be Jian Yunong's favorite, right? I heard from Sister Zhang that these are live shrimp specially bought by Huo Jincheng, right? Huo Jincheng cooks well and is also great at selecting ingredients."
"All learned while abroad," Huo Jincheng says as he peels a shrimp and places it in front of Jian Yunong. She hardly has to lift a finger.
Bai Ru tightens her grip on the chopsticks.
Having been with Huo Jincheng for so long, this man… seems to have never cooked for her even once.
Huo Liangchen is not a talkative person; his way of being good to Bai Ru is simply to serve her food directly.
Bai Ru's gaze falls on the plate of Boiled Shrimp, "The baby inside says it wants to eat shrimp too."
Across the table, Mrs. Huo gives Bai Ru a deep look.
The type of woman she dislikes the most is exactly like Bai Ru.
Too many twists and turns, too many little thoughts, speaking in a cutesy tone, lacking grace and dignity; she is not as good as the previous Daughter-in-law, Bai Yaoyao. Although foolish, at least she was somewhat presentable.
Forget it.
Huo Mu's relationship with her eldest son Huo Liangchen has never been good, after all, she is not his biological mother, so she is too lazy to interfere in his matters.
Huo Liangchen wants to marry Bai Ru and is in a state of giving up, but Huo Mu doesn't care at all.
Huo Liangchen signaled Sister Zhang to bring another plate of Boiled Shrimp.
Sister Zhang hesitated and said, "We already brought two plates today, and we can't serve another one."
All the prepared Boiled Shrimp was on the plate in front of Jian Yunong.
Huo Mu spoke up, "Then just bring that plate over."
In front of everyone, she still took charge and played the role of a mother who could balance everything.
"Old Daughter-in-law is pregnant now and needs to eat more. No matter what, the child cannot be shortchanged."
Huo Mu said this specifically for Jian Yunong to hear.
Marrying Jian Yunong was meant for having children, yet there hasn't been any sign of that so far.
Huo Jincheng leisurely wiped his hands clean and said, "Tomorrow I will personally cook for you."
Jian Yunong smiled brightly, "Great!"
She had already eaten quite a bit; without that plate of Boiled Shrimp, Jian Yunong could still enjoy the other delicious dishes on the table.
After dinner, Huo Jincheng was called into the study by Huo Mu for a lecture.
Jian Yunong accompanied Le Yi for a walk in the garden.
"Bai Ru That person really likes to cause trouble. Don't take it to heart. It's just a pregnancy; as if she's the only one who can get pregnant! Sister San, you and Third Brother should be more diligent; a bad child is bound to happen sooner or later."
Be more diligent?
Fortunately, it was nighttime, and Jian Yunong's face was flushed, so Le Yi couldn't see.
She and Huo Jincheng were already diligent enough; being more diligent was a bit overwhelming for Jian Yunong.
Especially since Huo Jincheng had been mindful of her feelings and had already restrained himself somewhat in that regard.
After sending Le Yi back to her room, Jian Yunong returned to her own room to take a shower.
When she lay down on the bed, Huo Jincheng finally came back.
He took a quick shower and then held Jian Yunong as they went to sleep together.
"Did you eat enough tonight?" Huo Jincheng asked, rubbing her little belly, which felt a bit flat.
"I ate enough." Jian Yunong couldn't help but press down on his hand. "Do you think I'm a pig? You actually let Sister Zhang combine two plates of shrimp into one serving."
"What's wrong with that? If my Daughter-in-law wants to eat, of course she should eat well, enjoy herself, and indulge."
"Then in everyone's eyes, I will only have one impression: a foodie."
Huo Jincheng kissed her neck. "It's fine. Just be yourself in front of family. I think you're great like this."
Be myself?
The fierce gaze of Huo Jincheng's Mother flashed before Jian Yunong's eyes.
"Where does Mother Huo treat her as part of the Huo Family?"
"She doesn't, right?"
But Jian Yunong couldn't say this to Huo Jincheng.
Huo Jincheng's hand moved deeper, grasping all her wandering thoughts. "Since you're not hungry, let's do some exercise."
...
Jian Yunong woke up earlier than Huo Jincheng.
She got out of bed first and unexpectedly ran into a familiar face downstairs.
Chu Ai was sitting on the sofa, excitedly admiring the decor of the Huo Family.
The Huo Family Old Residence was indeed different. These items must be quite valuable, exuding luxury in a low-key manner.
Huo Jinge brought over a glass of water and personally handed it to Chu Ai. "Sister Zhang is already making breakfast."
"Jing Ge."
Jian Yunong called out to Huo Jinge to get his attention.
"Sister San!"
Huo Jinge rushed to Jian Yunong's side, eagerly introducing her. "This is my senior, she's a star, and she's been helping me with introductions for a new play. I'm planning to do the art design for their new production."
Chu Ai stood up. "Hello."
Jian Yunong felt a bit strange inside, but still responded politely.
Jian Yunong slipped into the kitchen and asked Sister Zhang if there was anything she needed help with.
Sister Zhang, having received Huo Jincheng's instructions, was adamant that Jian Yunong should not help in the kitchen to avoid any accidental injuries.
"Third Young Master cares about you; you don't need to do these things. Just wash your hands and wait for dinner," Sister Zhang said as she pushed Jian Yunong out of the kitchen.
Breakfast was quite abundant.
Meiling Porridge was the highlight.
Huo Jinge enthusiastically introduced Sister Zhang's cooking skills and strongly recommended Chu Ai to have a bowl.
As a result, Chu Ai took a sip and immediately spat it out.
Not only that, but she also rushed into the kitchen and leaned over the sink to vomit profusely.
Sister Zhang watched from the side, her expression unclear.
"Young lady, are you pregnant?"
