Chapter 1413: I'm Not Craving Anything, Don't Wrong Me

~4 min read 711 words

When Instructor Guo brought Wang Sangyu over, little Chen Tiantian was happily munching on a date cake made by Liu Chuxue.

The moment she saw them enter, she stopped eating the date cake and ran straight to them: "Mom, Dad."

Liu Chuxue, who had been lying on a rocking chair under the osmanthus tree, sat up: "Instructor Guo, you're back?"

Instructor Guo caught Tiantian, who was running toward them, and smiled at Liu Chuxue: "Yes, we're back. Your sister-in-law and I came to pick up Tiantian. We've really caused you trouble."

Fu Yan Cheng, who had been cooking in the kitchen, walked out: "You know what happened, right?"

After Instructor Guo nodded lightly, he handed Tiantian from his arms into Wang Sangyu's: "Tiantian, play with Mom for a while. Dad needs to talk to Uncle Fu about something."

Tiantian was very well-behaved: "Okay, Tiantian will be good."

Looking at his daughter's smiling face, thinking of how she had almost been snatched away, and recalling those people's schemes, he struggled to suppress the murderous intent in his heart: "I've read those interrogation records, and I feel the matter isn't that simple."

Fu Yan Cheng glanced at the innocent-looking little girl smiling beneath the osmanthus tree and gestured for Instructor Guo to enter the kitchen.

Fu Yan Cheng continued what he had been doing: "I think the same as you. I've already sent people to investigate, and I believe we'll have results soon. I just can't figure out why their target was that little girl, Tiantian."

The two chatted in the kitchen for quite a while. By the time Fu Yan Cheng's lunch was nearly ready, Instructor Guo finally wrapped up the topic: "Alright then, I'll take the two of them, mother and daughter, back first. We can talk about the rest later."

Hearing his words, Liu Chuxue said: "Yan Cheng's lunch is almost ready too. Why don't you eat before you go? I promised Tiantian I'd make steamed dried hairtail for her."

Tiantian had almost forgotten about it upon seeing her parents, but when Liu Chuxue mentioned it, she suddenly remembered again, staring longingly toward the kitchen.

Wang Sangyu quickly spoke up: "We've already prepared the meal at home. With such hot weather, it won't keep, so we won't..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Fu Yan Cheng walked out carrying a small bowl of steamed hairtail: "Here, take this back for that little glutton to eat."

This made everyone happy.

Wang Sangyu looked and indeed saw it was hairtail: "With such hot weather, where did you buy this?"

Liu Chuxue smiled at the small bowl of steamed hairtail and felt hungry too: "During the Canton Fair, I went to the seaside and brought back some dried goods from there. Only this little bit remains. I actually wanted Tiantian to try it today, but mainly, I'm the one craving it."

Hearing her say that, Wang Sangyu laughed outright: "I'm afraid it's the little babies in your belly who want to eat."

Actually, she knew Fu Yan Cheng and his wife had made this specially for their daughter out of concern for Tiantian's fright the day before: "Quickly thank Uncle Fu and Auntie Fu."

Although Chen Tiantian kept staring hungrily at the bowl of steamed hairtail, upon hearing her mother's words, she still said softly: "Thank you, Uncle Fu, Auntie Fu."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Instructor Guo finally left with his wife and daughter.

Fu Yan Cheng had just seen his wife's craving look: "Go sit down. I'll bring the food out right away to satisfy your craving."

Liu Chuxue wouldn't admit it: "I'm not craving anything. Don't wrong me."

Fu Yan Cheng's lips curled up: "I was wrong. My wife isn't craving anything; it must be those three little rascals in your belly who are craving it."

Even though Liu Chuxue wore loose clothing, her nearly five-month pregnant belly was indeed quite large: "Do you think my belly has grown too fast recently? It's almost as big as someone eight months pregnant. Should I eat less?"

Fu Yan Cheng placed the food in his hands on the table: "You're eating for three people now, so where's the excess? Once these few days are over, I'll take you for your prenatal checkup."
