Chapter 106: Will I Become Infertile If I Eat This?

~8 min read 1,443 words

Han Yangting was also looking at Bai Shuruo.

His expression looked very gentle, and he agreed without a second thought: "I think that's fine, let's hold a birthday banquet for Ruoruo."

"..." Bai Shuruo was dumbfounded.

Han Dongbei also became excited.

He knew it; he had to start with Bai Shuruo. She was Han Yangting's treasure, and Han Yangting was Ye Caiyue's treasure.

Since Han Yangting agreed, Ye Caiyue would naturally agree as well.

Because she was going to have a birthday, Bai Shuruo continued to live in the Castle.

Han Yangting went to the company to work during the day and only returned at night.

She had nothing to do during the day, so she browsed major car forums and learned that she was being discussed on the forums, and there was more praise than questioning, which naturally made her happy.

That day, Han Jiani and Han Jiaren came to Castle No. 1 again, saying they were afraid she was bored at home and wanted to take her out to play.

"Cousin-in-law, I have a friend throwing a party, why don't you come out and play with us? I'll introduce you to some friends; they are all from the Beishi circle," Han Jiani said.

Bai Shuruo naturally would not go. She and they were not from the same world to begin with. Going there rashly would not only be awkward, but she might also be mocked for trying to climb the social ladder of the Han Family, so she decisively refused: "No, I still have some work to finish on hand."

Han Jiaren said: "If you don't want to go out, that's fine too. Why don't we just play on the lawn, throw a frisbee, and treat it like a picnic? You haven't tasted our Castle chef's craft yet, right? Today there is a batch of fresh caviar, and strawberries flown in by air. Our chef is skilled at making desserts, and the strawberry cake is top-notch. Don't you want to try it?"

It was hard to refuse such kindness, and since it was inside the Manor, Bai Shuruo felt that if she didn't have a good time, she could return at any time.

After Bai Shuruo agreed to go out, it wasn't long before a picnic mat was set up on the lawn, and drinks, desserts, snacks, and fresh flowers were all laid out.

Everyone from Number Two Castle came, as if it were a festival. Each of them was dressed very decently; even the three-year-old little boy wore a suit and a bowtie, and the little girls wore snow-white princess dresses.

Only Bai Shuruo was wearing casual clothes. She thought they were just having a picnic at their own Castle and didn't need to be so particular. She didn't expect that she had been too careless. Compared to this group of people, she really was like a Cinderella.

Fortunately, she was used to this feeling. Having seen her family decline since childhood, she had long tasted the warmth and coldness of human relationships, and she didn't care about these things.

"Cousin-in-law, come sit here," Han Jiani greeted her.

Bai Shuruo walked over generously and sat down.

"Try this strawberry cake, it's fresh out of the oven," Han Jiani said.

Bai Shuruo saw that the strawberry cake was made very exquisitely, with a very beautiful rose made of cream, which she quite liked, so she took it and tasted a bite; it was indeed delicious.

"It's good, right? We specifically used less sugar," Han Jiaren said, "You won't get fat from eating it."

Bai Shuruo said: "It's delicious."

"Then try this truffle chocolate ice cream," Han Jiani handed her another cup of ice cream.

This ice cream was served in an exquisite glass cup, with a layer of black truffle sprinkled on top.

Bai Shuruo said: "But I haven't finished the cake yet."

"It doesn't matter, you should taste everything first to see what suits your taste. If it's not good, you don't have to eat it."

Just as Bai Shuruo tasted a bite of the black truffle ice cream, Han Jiaren introduced another one to her: "Try this burger. It has Kobe beef, Swiss Gruyère cheese, and Himalayan rock salt inside, paired with French foie gras, lobster, and truffle."

Bai Shuruo thought to herself: Are these two young ladies really not here to show off their wealth?

Fearing that she would waste the snacks, she insisted on finishing the ice cream and cake before eating anything else.

While she was eating, Ms. Qu asked her again: "Ruoruo, you and Yangting have been living together every day recently, right? I see that you two are very loving."

Bai Shuruo blushed and said: "It's alright."

"Then you'll be able to have children soon. In a family like ours, you have to hurry, otherwise, I'm afraid there will be variables," Ms. Qu said, "After all, there are many people outside eyeing Han Yangting."

Bai Shuruo hurriedly said: "Big Brother Han said there's no rush."

She always felt that the people from the Second Branch were particularly concerned about whether she would have children.

Thinking of this, Bai Shuruo felt that the ice cream in her hand was no longer tasty. Her thoughts drifted away, and she thought of those domestic drama series, fearing that they might have poisoned the cake to make her unable to have children.

Seeing that she stopped eating, Han Jiani hurriedly said: "Cousin-in-law, hurry up and eat."

Bai Shuruo hesitated.

Han Jiaren said from the side: "Cousin-in-law, are you worried that we poisoned it? This is the Manor, it's all our own family; even if we wanted to harm you, we wouldn't do it at a time like this."

Bai Shuruo thought in her heart: That's hard to say. Those palace dramas all show poison being administered silently, and in the end, the person becomes sterile.

But then she thought about it again and felt it shouldn't be the case.

However, one really must be cautious when eating.

"Ruoruo, so you're here. I've been looking for you for a long time."

Just as Bai Shuruo was about to continue eating, Han Dongbei came over excitedly.

It was said that when Han Dongbei was young, he was a particularly sharp-tongued angry youth with a distinct personality, fearing neither heaven nor earth, but in Bai Shuruo's eyes, he was now just a middle-aged man who liked to please others.

"Why are you eating ice cream? Didn't Yangting tell you not to eat cold things this morning? Cold things are not good for your body, put it back quickly," Han Dongbei put her ice cream back on the mat.

"The strawberry cake won't do either, it's too sweet, you'll age quickly. Your mother-in-law doesn't like these things at all."

"But you can eat this fresh strawberry," Han Dongbei gave Bai Shuruo a fresh strawberry.

Bai Shuruo: "..."

Fresh fruit was indeed safer to eat.

Seeing Han Dongbei's protective attitude, Ms. Qu couldn't help but smile: "Big Brother, you are really good to your daughter-in-law."

Han Dongbei said: "Sister-in-law, are you trying to say that I'm better to my daughter-in-law than to my wife? Sigh, I know I was foolish when I was young. Coming back this time is to make it up to them. In any case, I will protect everyone in my family as much as possible, and of course, that includes you all; you are also my relatives."

After saying this, Han Dongbei looked at Han Jiaren, who was eating ice cream, "Jiaren, you shouldn't eat this ice cream either. Summer hasn't arrived yet, and eating these things easily causes diarrhea."

Han Jiaren: "..."

Han Dongbei turned and asked Bai Shuruo: "Ruoruo, do you know how to play frisbee?"

Bai Shuruo said: "No."

"It's very simple, I'll teach you."

Bai Shuruo felt that compared to these people from the Second Branch, it was still safer to be with Han Dongbei, so she hurriedly stood up and said, "Okay, but I am very clumsy, so I will have to trouble Dad to put in the effort."

The people from the Second Branch watched gloomily as Bai Shuruo and Han Dongbei started playing with a frisbee.

There was also the hamburger that Bai Shuruo had not taken a single bite of.

That piece of bread was the real star.

Two days later, Bai Shuruo's birthday party arrived.

It was another massive scene of social death.

Although Han Dongbei came from a noble background and had been pampered since childhood, perhaps because of his trip to Africa, his aesthetic sense had plummeted.

He had actually booked an Africa-themed birthday party for Bai Shuruo.
