Chapter 328: I Heard Dogs Barking
Ji Sichen returned with the ice-cream soon.
“Xiao Ruo, you can choose the flavor you like. The chocolate flavor is yours,” he told Yao Tiao as he passed her a tub that had been packed separately.
The woman took the ice-cream from him with a wide beam on her face and tucked into it straight away.
Ye Erruo cocked her brow with interest. She did not remember Yao Tiao telling him that she’d wanted the chocolate flavor!
“I want the blueberry flavor.” The protagonist took the ice-cream from the man happily.
Her man immediately reached and took her hands into his. “You can’t have this.”
As Ji Sichen had said earlier, having spicy and cold food at the same time would overstimulate the stomach.
The poor woman could only watch her friends having a gleeful time with their ice-cream. “It’s very spicy…”
“You can have some water.”
“Just a small mouthful.”
“No way!”
“Xiao Ruo, I suggest you have some water instead.” Ji Sichen could not help taking a dig at her as he gave her a glass of water.
In the end, the woman could only comfort herself with many glasses of water one after another.
“You should stop now,” Mo Jiangye told her tenderly as he reached over and wiped away the oily stain at the corner of her lips.
“There’s still a lot of food.”
“Eat the dishes that are less spicy.”
He had been watching them eat rather than eating during the meal. He was not enthusiastic about hotpot in the first place, but he would oblige by taking bits and pieces of what his wife fed him at most.
“Hey, this bun tastes good!” Ye Erruo picked up one and fed it to his mouth. She had noticed that he wasn’t eating.
I’m not going to bring him to a hotpot meal again!
At the next table, Bo Jinyan’s eyes shone with an unexplained glint as he watched their interaction.
“I was told that pregnant ladies should not have overly spicy food, especially hotpot.”
Mo Jiangye froze before he glared ominously at the other man.
“Mr. Mo, I would advise you to watch out for your wife. Ill health can have a terrible effect on pregnant women. The child may turn out deformed if you aren’t careful,” Bo Jinyan added with a smile.
Son of a b*tch! Is he cursing my son?!
“Oh, wait… If Xiao Ruo is already four to five months into her pregnancy, why is her tummy still so flat?”
The man’s face sank. He was about to flare up when Ye Erruo hugged his arms. “Hubby, do you hear anyone talking?”
“Nope, but I heard two dogs barking away.”
Suddenly, Su Qing Ning appeared on the scene.
“Brother Jiangye!” She walked over to them with a smile. “What a coincidence! I didn’t expect you to be having hotpot here.”
The woman retorted sharply, “Is this a coincidence? Didn’t you tail us all the way here with Grandpa Lin? I thought we had lost the two of you when we didn’t see you after getting out of the car.”
The other girl rebutted with a sour expression, “Ye Erruo, shut your trap!”
“Hi, pretty. Come take a seat over here!” As his lips curled into a mocking smile, Yu Lingfeng moved over and made space for the girl.
She glanced at him, taken aback by his polite presence. She had not met a man who could match Brother Jiangye’s masculinity.
“Do you know him?”
Yu Lingfeng peeked at Mo Jiangye and replied, “No, but you know him, right? I’m giving you a seat so you can have a good talk with him.”
“Thank you!” The woman immediately took the seat closest to the next table.
“Brother Jiangye, you hurt Grandpa Lin’s heart when you stomped off the other night. He has been trying to catch you at your place every day in vain. The weather is cold for an old man now, so he may get sick if he goes on like this…” As she talked, tears brimmed in her eyes and she started to sob softly.
