Chapter 172 - 164: Secret Chamber
"Wife, why are you in the kitchen again?" I said I would handle these things. Why don’t you ever listen? Even if not for yourself, you should think about the baby in your belly. What if you get too tired?"
As soon as he came back and smelled the aroma of food, Lu Aiguo ran into the kitchen and sure enough, Xia Yuan was cooking again. He immediately rushed over to support her and started nagging.
Since Xia Yuan’s pregnancy became more apparent and her belly began to show, such scenes became increasingly common; Lu Aiguo couldn’t help but fuss whenever he saw Xia Yuan doing chores.
"I can’t just sit still all the time, I’m fine, the baby is very well-behaved," Xia Yuan said with a helpless smile. After becoming pregnant, she had slowly become immune to Lu Aiguo’s anxiety. He had his nagging, and she – she did whatever she needed to do as soon as he turned away.
However, to avoid his constant nagging, she still tried to be careful not to get caught in the act. Like today, if it hadn’t been for Lu Aiguo and Shitou coming home early for a while, who would have been able to tell whether the food on the table was freshly made or taken from Lu Yun’s big warehouse?
Although Lu Yun’s big warehouse was never short of ready-made food, given the opportunity, she still preferred to cook fresh meals.
She didn’t think that being pregnant meant she couldn’t do anything. Perhaps it was because she had been consistently taking the Elixir prepared by Lu Yun, beneficial to both pregnant women and the fetus, that she had an easy pregnancy with very minimal symptoms.
Even though Lu Aiguo repeatedly implored Xia Yuan to do less and focus on bookkeeping only, she still took the time to occasionally cook and sew a few items for the baby herself.
