Chapter 64: It’s Not Like He Wants to Eat It!
Thinking that he could eat an extra portion of the baby’s dessert in the future, Du Suilan had a little more anticipation for the future.
Perhaps having a baby really wasn’t so bad?
“Hubby~~~”
Du Suilan was eating fruit, his little mouth calling out sweeter than the tribute fruit itself, “If we have a baby, can the baby have two portions of dessert?”
“No.”
Nie Yao didn’t allow too many extras outside of mealtime.
Especially for a baby.
He certainly couldn’t have any.
Hearing this, Du Suilan, who had been happily planning for two portions of dessert ten months later, instantly turned to stone and dried up.
“Why!! The baby is so small, how can he grow up without eating sweets!”
Du Suilan insisted on fighting for the rights of the little thing in his belly.
“It’s all gone now.” Nie Yao told his wife to stop licking the spoon; the quota for sweets had been used up for the day, and he wouldn’t get any more.
In addition, “Even if there is a baby, he can only drink milk. No sweets, don’t even think about it.”
He gently flicked his wife’s forehead.
Which made the big baby glare at him angrily.
“You’re abusing a pregnant man!”
“You’re pregnant?”
“None of your business!” Du Suilan turned his back, clasping his hands. “Bad Hubby, I wouldn’t tell you even if I was!”
Nie Yao was used to this routine whenever he wouldn’t let him have more sweets.
He thought to himself: Fortunately, there’s no baby, otherwise, it would be too pathetic for the baby to have its food supply coveted by its A-die before it’s even born.
“Alright, alright, I’m the bad one. Big Baby, don’t be angry, I’ll give you fish for dinner.”
His wife had been liking fish more and more recently.
Nie Yao had long run out of the fish he raised. Fortunately, his father-in-law had several fish ponds, and Nie Yao sent people every day to fetch fresh ones.
The fish his father-in-law raised were of many varieties and good quality.
Nie Yao was even thinking of having someone learn how to farm fish.
“I want to eat eight fish!” Du Suilan thought: Four for me, four for the baby, that’s just right. He counted on his fingers, “Two steamed, two braised in soy sauce, two stewed into soup, and two grilled!”
“And I want Little Maizi to make them!”
Little Maizi was a good cook.
His wife wanted to eat meals made by him every day now.
This included the days when Little Maizi was supposed to be resting; the top chef hadn’t had a day off recently. Nie Yao gave Little Maizi a red envelope and a small overtime gift.
Little Maizi, who was already diligent and hardworking, was ecstatic. Every day, he had endless energy and ideas, able to create twelve dishes, two soups, and one dessert for His Imperial Majesty in a variety of ways.
“Chew, chew, chew~”
“Chew, chew, chew~”
Du Suilan was eating the tender, boneless fish, his cheeks puffed out. “Since you started eating with me, Little Maizi’s cooking has gotten even better.”
Just as others worship gods and Buddhas, Little Maizi worshipped Nie Yao.
And very devoutly.
Therefore, cooking for him would unleash a different kind of power.
Du Suilan: “He wasn’t this amazing before!”
Du Suilan tilted his face slightly.
He offered a terrible idea, “Had I known he still had room for improvement, I should have put more pressure on him earlier. If he didn’t cook well, I’d chop off his head!”
“Alright, Wife, eat your meal.”
Nie Yao pinched his mouth, telling him not to say such things.
Who eats a chef’s food and talks about chopping off their head?
Wife, you’re truly getting too outrageous.
“I wasn’t really going to chop it!”
Du Suilan was angry. He wouldn’t let him kill, and he wouldn’t even let him talk about it?
How annoying!
He stepped fiercely on his husband’s foot, and Du Suilan, in his fury, ate two more large bowls.
“Wife, what did the Imperial Physician tell you earlier?” Nie Yao was a little worried. “Are you really okay?”
“I’m fine!”
So what if he ate a few extra bites, what could possibly be wrong?
Du Suilan urged his husband to quickly debone the fish; his bowl was already empty!
“Ji Fanshan said I’m perfectly fine, I just need to eat more good food to nourish myself. It’s best to have a bowl of sweet soup, a bowl of ginger milk curd, a bowl of… What are you looking at? That’s exactly what he said!!”
He casually distorted the doctor’s orders, yet self-righteously claimed that was the truth.
Nie Yao retracted his gaze, his hands never stopping at picking out fish bones.
“The doctor told me you need more rest and appropriate exercise.” Of course, you need nourishment too, but you need tonics to nourish the body.
Not sweets.
Eat fewer sweets!
Nie Yao: “Wife, what did I tell you? How can a good baby lie?”
“I’m not a baby!” The baby is in my belly!
“Why not?” Nie Yao placed the fish meat into his bowl. “You are my baby. Good baby, hurry and eat, or it won’t taste good when it gets cold.”
“Hmph!”
Du Suilan “oowed” and took a big bite.
The fish was tender, coupled with Little Maizi’s miraculous cooking skills… this fish died a worthy death!
Actually, Du Suilan used to only eat the best small part of the fish, often requiring a whole vat of fish for one platter of food.
The small pieces of fish meticulously carved out by the imperial chef were almost always boneless.
But now, Du Suilan preferred the ones with bones.
The fish deboned by his husband tasted delicious no matter what!
“I didn’t lie!” Du Suilan just really wanted sweets. He felt it was due to the pregnancy. It was the baby in his belly who was craving, making him desperately want to eat.
“Anyway, it’s not my fault!”
“It’s all your fault!”
If it weren’t for his husband, how would the baby have ended up in his belly?
So it was all his husband’s fault!
Finding a legitimate reason, Du Suilan became more assertive, “You should let me eat three portions of dessert!”
Nie Yao’s large hand covered his wife’s soft palm, pressing down on the three fingers he held up.
“Wife, I have a surprise for you.”
“What surprise? Give it to me quickly! I want to see!”
“You can’t see it now, only after dinner.”
Fine.
Du Suilan stopped worrying about dessert and obediently ate his meal.
After eating, he was dressed even more roundly than in the daytime.
“I don’t want to wear this! I can barely walk!” Du Suilan didn’t want to walk by himself and reached out for a hug.
Nie Yao wanted to hug him too.
But his wife hadn’t exercised enough, so he absolutely had to walk.
“Shall we link arms, alright?” Nie Yao said it would be very romantic for a couple to do this. “Two people in love taking a stroll in the night… Think about it, isn’t it quite nice?”
Du Suilan thought about it.
He thought his husband was right.
“Then I want to stick close to you!”
“No problem.”
It was already completely dark outside.
The deep night carried a chill.
Nie Yao and his wife were tightly nestled together, strolling outwards.
“It’s so quiet~”
Du Suilan hugged his husband’s arm and closed his eyes.
He felt so safe.
As long as he was with his husband, nothing was boring. Even if they argued for half a day over a bite of food, he found it extremely interesting.
“Love you, Hubby~”
“I love you too, Wife.”
“I super love you!”
“Me too.”
“Say you super love me!”
“I super love you, Wife.”
“I want to hear it again.”
“I super love you!”
…
Nonsensical dialogue became sweet and delightful when said with the one he loved, filling him with joy.
Du Suilan began to like these slow walks with his husband.
He voluntarily suggested they do it again tomorrow.
“Good, we’ll come tomorrow too.”
Nie Yao took his wife to a spacious and open stable.
“I’m so nervous~ Hubby, what exactly are you going to show me?”
