Chapter 298 - 18 Another One_2
Shen Chi heard the words and his expression eased slightly. As he raised his head to say something more, he realized that Lin Xiaoguai had already fallen asleep. He swallowed the words he was about to say, stood up carefully to cover her with the blanket, and tiptoed out of the room.
As soon as Shen Chi stepped out, he saw Luo Yufang already waiting outside the door. She saw him and quickly asked in a low voice, "Is Wanwan asleep?"
"Mm," nodded Shen Chi. "Grandma, can you stew some soup? She’s bound to be hungry when she wakes up."
Lin Xiaoguai’s pregnancy had progressed, and she often woke from leg cramps, sleeping poorly at night and needing to catch up on sleep during the day. However, her appetite was growing.
"Do I need you to tell me that? I’ve been cooking a pot of chicken soup on the stove," Luo Yufang retorted with a glance.
"I was just saying," Shen Chi remarked awkwardly, then added, "Wanwan fancied some Zhajiang noodles yesterday. Is the sauce ready?"
"It’s ready. I remembered. I made it early this morning and will make it for her tonight," Luo Yufang said, a touch of impatience in her voice.
Shen Chi touched his nose, realizing that grandma thought he was being a nag.
