Chapter 344 - 343: Greedy
Chen Afu knew that she would have to wait at least three months into her pregnancy before she could go to the kitchen and make the food she loved. She was a foodie and had become particularly picky, not enjoying the meals prepared by the chef at Tang Garden. Thus, she requested Mrs. Hua and two other maids from the kitchen to cook three meals a day for her in Fu Garden’s kitchen; she claimed the water quality seemed a bit better there and the resulting food was more flavorful.
The old master shared her sentiment, he too enjoyed the meals from Fu Garden, and nodded in agreement, commenting, "Indeed."
By evening, Chu Lingxuan hurried home on his fast horse.
Chen Afu and the others, leading Li Xuan and Chu Hanyan and other children, were moving from Fu Garden towards Tang Garden when they saw Chu Lingxuan approaching them from the entrance of Tang Garden.
Upon seeing her father, Chu Hanyan began running towards him excitedly, shouting, "Daddy, daddy, I’m going to have a little brother or sister! Brother said that Mommy will have two at once, just like Sasa."
That’s how rumors spread!
Mrs. Li and the others laughed again, and Chu Lingxuan was even more delighted.
Leading Chu Hanyan by the hand, he approached Chen Afu, smiling brilliantly and asked, "Why aren’t you resting inside? Why are you running around?"
Chen Afu smiled and replied, "It’s boring to stay inside all day, so it’s nice to get out for a slow walk and play with the children. It lifts my spirits."
Chu Lingxuan nodded, he stretched out his arm to support Chen Afu but he realized it might not be appropriate during broad daylight, so he awkwardly retracted his hand and rubbed the back of his head, continuing to laugh.
