BXBX NOVEL Chapter 77 - Could She Be Pregnant?
Yao Zizhou had smelled the soup when he came to the table just now, it should be hot and sour soup. But he remembered that Ming Liuyi used to hate eating sour food, so it seemed very strange that there was hot and sour soup today. He put down his chopsticks and waited to see Ming Liuyi’s reaction, but she did not have any reaction. She only said thank you to He Xiang, then picked up the bowl and took two sips.
Ming Liuyi even praised it, “Old Zhang is really amazing. He can even make such good soup. You should all try it, don’t stand on ceremony.”
Yao Zizhou immediately frowned. Although he had always felt that Ming Liuyi had changed, this change was a bit too great—even her tastes had changed. If it was in the past, never mind tasting the soup, just having this dish present was enough to have Ming Liuyi flip the table and fly into a rage.
Yao Zizhou said to He Xiang again, “Mr. He, what fruits are there on the table?”
He Xiang was extremely confused. Why would the president ask all these out of the blue? Even though he felt dubious, it was not right to question the president. The first thing a secretary had to know was to observe and execute the president’s orders. As long as the president gave the order, he had to do it and never ask questions.
He Xiang looked at the fruits on the table and immediately said, “Watermelon, plums, peaches—”
Before He Xiang could finish, Yao Zizhou interrupted him. There would certainly be many fruits on the table, but there should not be any fruit here as sour as the plum. In the past, Ming Liuyi was very picky about her food. If a watermelon was not sweet, she would scold the housekeeper who bought the fruit.
Yao Zizhou decided to test her some more, so he casually said, “My wife likes to eat sour things. Mr. He, get a plum for the madam.”
At this, Ming Liuyi also grew suspicious, but she did not say anything. She just took the plum from Mr. He and put it aside. Fruits should be eaten after meals, and at this moment, her meal was not done yet. Old Zhang’s culinary skills were really superb, and every dish was delicious.
Yao Zizhou did not hear the sound of Ming Liuyi eating the fruit, so he said, “Why aren’t you eating the plum?”
Ming Liuyi was quite exasperated, and could only take a bite of the plum. Although she knew that Yao Zizhou was overbearing, she did not expect him to show it this much. He was even controlling what she ate.
‘Is this the desire for control from a superior’s perspective? Wouldn’t everything I do from now on also be controlled?’
Swallowing the plum in her mouth, Ming Liuyi looked at Yao Zizhou and said indifferently, “It’s not bad. It’s just a little sour. Did you want me to help you try?”
Yao Zizhou fell silent. Not only had Ming Liuyi’s personality changed, but even her tastes had changed. This was too strange.
Yao Zizhou had tried to test Ming Liuyi, and the other subordinates were all growing confused. ‘What is the president trying to say? The madam liked to eat sour things a lot. Could it be that she’s pregnant?’ A few of them were very shocked. The president was usually very cold and aloof, so they really could not connect the president with the idea of fatherhood.
The subordinates took another look at Yao Zizho. Thinking of his current physical condition, they could not help but give him a thumbs-up in their hearts. He was already in such a state, but he was still so strong. No wonder he was the president. He was simply a role model for their generation.
After dinner, Ming Liuyi saw the secretary and the others off. She felt very tired.
She pushed Yao Zizhou back to the master bedroom, and let Zhao Qiang help him shower. Ming Liuyi also wanted to go back to her own room to shower. After a whole day, her body reeked of sweat. Before she left, she seemed to have thought of something, so she turned around and walked to Yao Zizhou’s side.
She looked at him and said to Zhao Qiang, “You’re in charge of only helping the master bathe. I’ll deal with the skin care products later.”
Yao Zizhou heard Ming Liuyi was about to leave again, and knew that she was going to go back to the other room. His mood had instantly darkened, but then lightened again when he heard Ming Liuyi’s words. Zhao Qiang also let out a breath of relief. He had felt the pressure around his master slowly drop, but then it suddenly got better.
After Ming Liu Yi finished her bath, she dried her hair and packed her things, moving them back to the master bedroom. Yao Zizhou had already finished his bath and was lying on the bed. Hearing the sound of Ming Liuyi running back and forth, the corner of his mouth curled up slightly.
Yao Zizhou suppressed his joy and deliberately said to Ming Liu Yi in a very cold tone,”Moving back and forth so much, you don’t seem to mind the trouble. But you shouldn’t have moved in the first place. It was unnecessary.”
