Chapter 377: Chapter 377 A Bit Hard to Please_1
Ruan Tianling opened the lunchbox, inside were steaming dumplings and her favorite pumpkin cakes.
He held up a pumpkin cake to her mouth, intending to feed her.
The aroma from the pumpkin cake was just inches away, yet Jian Yufei had no appetite.
She turned her head slightly, “I don’t want to eat, you eat it.”
“You cannot not eat. If you don’t eat, the child in your stomach needs to. You have to balance nutrition for the baby to develop well.” Ruan Tianling made a convincing argument, and Jian Yufei had no choice but to eat.
She reached out to take the pumpkin cake and ate it without him feeding her.
After finishing one, Ruan Tianling gave her a dumpling. Jian Yufei took a bite, revealing the mushroom and pork stuffing.
Suddenly, the aroma made her lose her appetite.
Struggling to swallow the dumpling in her mouth, she tossed the rest into the lunchbox, “I don’t want to eat anymore.”
“You’ve eaten so little? Have another one.”
“I really don’t want to eat!”
Ruan Tianling opened a box of milk, inserted a straw, and handed it to her: “Have some milk.”
Jian Yufei pushed his hand away, her delicate eyebrows furrowed, shaking her head to indicate that she didn’t want it.
Ruan Tianling wasn’t mad, he set the milk down and asked her: “What do you feel like eating, we’ll go buy it now.”
“I don’t want to eat anything, I just want to sleep.” Jian Yufei looked out the window, her small face half buried in her oversized clothing, and fell silent.
Ruan Tianling saw her pale face and understood that she really didn’t have an appetite.
He sighed. Pregnant women indeed were a bit difficult to take care of.
Sometimes, they craved strange things; other times, they refused to eat anything. Their appetites were entirely dictated by the baby in their belly.
Thankfully, the baby in his house didn’t cause much trouble, at least not waking up in the middle of night wanting to eat something, or craving ice cream in the dead of winter.
Cu Haoyan had once shared with him that when his daughter was still in his wife’s belly, she was extremely high maintenance.
In the middle of the night, while he was sleeping soundly, his wife would wake up, craving this food or that.
Often he would have to get up in the middle of the night, drive to get her food.
But who would be selling food in the middle of the night?
Just to get something to eat, he would spend more than an hour outside. Finally, when he got back with the food, Gong Mei had gone back to sleep and did not eat anything.
Although Cu Haoyan was driven to despair, he still treated it like a sweet burden.
The most unbearable thing for Cu Haoyan was that Gong Mei craved ice cream, even in the cold of winter. A pregnant woman eating ice cream in winter was not a joke; what if something went wrong?
However, Gong Mei insisted on eating it and refused to eat anything else if she could not have her ice cream.
When Cu Haoyan shared these experiences with him in private, he did it in a deeply vicissitudinous way, even clapping his shoulder expressing sympathy for his future.
At the time, he only chuckled dismissively not taking it seriously.
The child in Jian Yufei’s belly was indeed his, but he’d arranged for many people to take care of her, so Cu Haoyan’s experiences wouldn’t affect him.
His appointed staff would take good care of her; there was no need for him to do so personally.
However, now, Ruan Tianling was somewhat envious of Cu Haoyan.
He also wanted to do something for Jian Yufei, but he didn’t need to think to know she wouldn’t need him to.
Suddenly, Ruan Tianling had an epiphany, realizing that some experiences, even for him, were extremely rare and hard to come by.
With a thoughtful expression, he looked down and picked up the leftover dumpling that Jian Yufei hadn’t finished, and stuffed it into his mouth.
