Fierce Ex-wife: President, Please Be Careful

Chapter 586: Incident On The Dining Table (2)

Duan Yarong was the first to come back to her senses. She coughed lightly, “Ruixin, I am really glad that you like Yue Yue so much. However, think about An Yue’s current relationship with Youlin and the others. If she really becomes your goddaughter, should Joy acknowledge her as his paternal aunt or maternal aunt?”

“Oh…” Su Ruixin had not thought of that. Now that Duan Yarong brought it up, it had put her in a difficult position.

Seeing her reaction, Duan Yarong’s eyes flickered slightly. She smiled and said, “I say, if you really like Yue Yue, you should bring Joy to visit me and Yue Yue more in the future. It is better than acknowledging her as goddaughter.”

After being persuaded by Duan Yarong, Su Ruixin’s enthusiasm for getting a goddaughter faded away a little. “I guess you have a point.”

Duan Yarong smiled and nodded. A mischievous smirk flashed in her eyes.

She was already upset that the daughter who she had doted on for over a year married into the Mu family together with her precious grandson. The arrival of An Yue had made her feel better. So how could she promise to let An Yue become someone else’s goddaughter?

Fortunately, Su Ruixin did not continue to dwell on this, or she might really get into an argument with her over An Yue.

Zhao Youlin and the others were relieved as well when they saw Su Ruixin was convinced by Duan Yarong. An Yue seemed a little uncomfortable. She did not understand why Su Ruixin would offer to become her godmother out of the blue.

While An Yue was still trying to figure out how to deal with Su Ruixin’s excessive enthusiasm, a familiar voice suddenly came from outside, rescuing An Yue from the awkward situation.

“What are you guys talking about?”

An Yue immediately stood up from the chair and went up to the man.

Han Yichen’s cold eyes softened a lot when he saw An Yue running toward him. He naturally hugged her. He lowered his head and planted a kiss on her forehead. “I am home.”

An Yue blushed and murmured, “Welcome home.”

“Ahem…” Zhao Shunrong, who walked in behind Han Yichen could not help but let out a cough to remind them there were other people present when he saw them.

An Yue was startled when she heard his voice. Realizing what she had done in front of so many people, she instantly blushed.

Duan Yarong’s eyes were full of smiles, though she could not bear to see her daughter-in-law being embarrassed. She took the initiative to help her out, “Alright now. Since you are home, let’s have lunch now. Joy, you must be hungry now. I can hear your stomach growling.”

“I am not!” Joy, who had just been exposed, blushed as well. He grudgingly defended himself in a loud voice.

Several adults were stunned by his yelling. They burst out in laughter the moment they collected themselves.

However, thanks to Joy, An Yue felt less embarrassed now compared to earlier.

The kitchen served the dishes very quickly after they were notified. The Zhao family did not care too much about the formality of dining. After they were seated, they started eating and talking.

Zhao Yulin looked at the second floor and asked in puzzlement, “Mom, isn’t grandpa going to join us?”

Duan Yarong smiled and shook her head. “Your grandfather just happened to be out of town today, so he won’t eat with us. Here, this is your favorite sweet and sour pork. I specially asked the kitchen to make it. Try and see if it is to your liking.”

Zhao Youlin’s eyes flickered slightly. She did not ask what the old man had gone out to do. She smiled as she took the sweet and sour pork that Duan Yarong had picked up for her. She lowered her head and started eating it.

Duan Yarong was chatting with Zhao Youlin, while Zhao Shunrong was talking with Mu Tingfeng and Han Yichen about family matters and business prospects. As for Su Ruixin, she was feeding her grandson with contentment while casually engaging in a small talk with An Yue. The atmosphere at the dining table was quite harmonious and warm, until…

“Youlin, Yue Yue, look at this. This old hen was specially brought over by our kitchen maid Mrs. Liu from her hometown. It is a native farm hen. It is very tonic. Since Youlin came back today, I had asked her to make soup with it for you two to nourish your health. Drink it while it’s warm.”

Duan Yarong pointed to the chicken soup that had just been served and was going to pour a bowl for An Yue, but when An Yue saw the pot of yellow chicken soup, she abruptly stood up from her seat and ran out of the kitchen.

Everyone at the dining table was shocked by the sudden incident. They all stopped talking and looked at each other.

Zhao Youlin was the first to react. She frowned. Then, she got up and went after her.

Han Yichen and Mu Tingfeng reacted as well. They got out of the kitchen after her, leaving three adults and one kid staring at each other.

Zhao Youlin walked behind An Yue. She saw her run into the bathroom, then she heard the sound of retching coming from inside.

The all-too-familiar image made Zhao Youlin stunned for several seconds. She straightened her face and quickly walked into the bathroom to help An Yue breathe smoothly.

An Yue had not eaten much. She finally felt more comfortable after vomiting a little. Her eyes were slightly red. She was about to say something when Han Yichen and Mu Tingfeng rushed in.

“What’s wrong? Are you not feeling well?” After Han Yichen entered the bathroom, he walked straight toward them and held An Yue in his arms. He frowned and asked.

An Yue was shocked to see Han Yichen coming inside. “Why are you here too? I am fine, it’s probably because I have been having an upset stomach lately. I felt a little nauseous when I saw oily food. It is not a big issue. You’d better go back and take care of our guests.”

Han Yichen was dissatisfied with An Yue’s perfunctory answer. He said in a deep voice, “Mom and Dad will take care of them. They can manage.”

After he said that, he looked An Yue up and down. He said with concern, “Are you sure you are fine? You have to tell me if you are not feeling well.”

An Yue blushed slightly, but her smile was a little sweet. “I am fine, really. Don’t make too much of a fuss over this.”

Han Yichen heaved a sigh of relief and was about to say something else when he heard a cough from behind him. They looked in the direction of the sound and saw the somewhat awkward expression on Zhao Youlin’s face.

“Ahem. So, Yichen, can I ask you something?”

“What?”

Zhao Youlin took a deep breath and asked with a serious but slightly embarrassed expression on her face, “Do you remember when was the earliest time you did it?”

“Did what?” Han Yichen slightly frowned. After seeing Zhao Youlin’s awkward and curious gaze, he realized what she meant. He asked without any expression on his face, “Why do you want to know?”

“Don’t ask first. Just answer me!”

Han Yichen gave Zhao Youlin a deep look in the eye and answered honestly, “The night I proposed to her.”

An Yue did not understand Zhao Youlin’s question as well at first, but after hearing Han Yichen providing the time, she understood immediately. Her face turned as red as an apple. She wished she could dig a hole and bury herself in it.

“The night you proposed…” Zhao Youlin paused for a second. Then, her eyes suddenly brightened up. It had been two months since the day Han Yichen proposed to An Yue.. Given An Yue’s current condition, she might be…
