Chapter 312 Let Me Have One More Bite of Ice Cream
Just then, footsteps suddenly came from the restaurant entrance.
It turned out that Tan Zhengchu was standing at the door.
He strode up to Su Yingxue and blocked the spicy hot pot she was about to put into her mouth.
"Zhengchu?" Su Yingxue looked at him in surprise, not yet able to react.
Tan Zhengchu looked at her coldly, reached out and took away the spicy hot pot, and then prepared to move the ice cream and milk tea on the table: "You are not allowed to touch these things again!"
Su Yingxue quickly tried to cover it up, but Tan Zhengchu already knew what had happened from the maid. His tone was stern: "I received a call from the maid and came specifically to stop you. Why are you so disobedient?"
He reached out to take all the food in front of Su Yingxue, but Su Yingxue quickly ate a few more bites, muttering, "Let me eat a little more..."
Li Yuzhu was surprised by her son's sudden appearance. A little embarrassed, she put down her milk tea and explained softly, "Zhengchu, we just came out for a meal, and this is our first time..."
She felt indebted to Tan Zhengchu, which made her a little nervous when she spoke.
Just then, she suddenly felt the baby in her belly move and couldn't help but gently stroke her belly.
When Tan Zhengchu saw the longing look in Su Yingxue's eyes, he was slightly taken aback, seemingly reluctant to do so.
But when he saw their pregnant bellies, his eyes hardened: "You absolutely cannot eat these things anymore. They're bad for you and the baby. And it's not safe for the two of you to be out together."
Upon hearing this, Li Yuzhu and Su Yingxue both lowered their heads and remained silent.
Tan Zhengchu called over a waiter, his tone cold yet unquestionable: "Remove all the food from the table, and order a nutritious meal for your wife."
His gaze fell on the salad in front of Li Yuzhu, paused slightly, and then added, "Give my mom the same nutritious meal too."
Li Yuzhu had originally planned to use this dining out as a way to lose weight, but Tan Zhengchu's sudden appearance disrupted her plans. She felt a little wronged, but seeing her son's serious expression, she ultimately chose to accept it.
She muttered softly, "Sigh, looks like my diet plan has fallen through again..."
Su Yingxue watched as Tan Zhengchu cleared the food off the table one by one, and couldn't help but pout: "Zhengchu, what brings you here? Weren't you in a meeting?"
Tan Zhengchu smiled slightly, his eyes filled with affection: "I'm the president, so I naturally have the authority to arrange work flexibly. Besides, you and the baby are more important to me, so I can still spare some time."
After saying that, Tan Zhengchu picked up a spoon, gently stirred the nutritious meal in front of Su Yingxue, and said gently, "Come on, open your mouth and take a bite."
Su Yingxue frowned, looking at the bland food in front of her that had almost no flavor, and felt somewhat resistant.
But after being persuaded by Tan Zhengchu, she reluctantly opened her mouth.
Tan Zhengchu patiently fed her, saying softly, "These foods may be bland, but they are very important for the baby's development. Be good, eat more."
Watching from the side, Li Yuzhu's eyes flashed with envy, and she sighed softly, "Yingxue, you are so lucky. If only I had been pampered like Xiang Chen when I was pregnant back then."
Li Yuzhu's eyes were somewhat unfocused as she recalled her difficult pregnancy: "When I was pregnant, my family didn't know. We kept it a secret for the first few months. Back then, my relationship with my family was very strained. Unlike you now, who is pampered by Zhengchu."
Su Yingxue gently held her hand and comforted her, "Mom, things are different now. With Zhengchu here, there's nothing to be afraid of."
Tan Zhengchu continued to feed Su Yingxue, his movements gentle and meticulous.
Su Yingxue suddenly realized that her mother-in-law was still there, and a blush crept onto her face. She said shyly, "Zhengchu, I can do it myself. You're attracting too much attention like this."
Tan Zhengchu smiled slightly and handed her the spoon: "Okay, you eat by yourself, be careful."
Tan Zhengchu looked at Su Yingxue and Li Yuzhu, his tone gentle yet firm: "You two are pregnant now, so your mealtimes can be more flexible. At home, you can have the kitchen prepare food whenever you want. Don't be too restrictive; your health is the most important thing."
Su Yingxue nodded, her eyes full of tenderness: "Yes, I understand. With you here, I don't have to worry about anything."
Tan Zhengchu was relieved to hear this.
"Where to next?" Su Yingxue asked softly, a hint of anticipation in her eyes.
Li Yuzhu smiled slightly, her gaze gentle: "I want to buy some baby supplies for the baby. Yingxue is also about to give birth, so let's pick some out together."
Tan Zhengchu nodded and looked at his mother: "Mom, Dad will be here in about twenty minutes. He has a meeting to finish."
Li Yuzhu waved her hand gently, her tone indifferent: "It's okay, I can manage on my own. I've managed like this for the past twenty-two years."
Li Yuzhu looked at her son with a hint of relief in her eyes.
After getting married, Tan Zhengchu became more humane, knew how to comfort her, and paid more attention to her feelings. She smiled slightly: "Zhengchu, you seem to have become more considerate since we got married."
Tan Zhengchu smiled slightly, his eyes gentle: "Mom, you've worked so hard all these years, let Yingxue and I spend more time with you now."
Su Yingxue chimed in, "Mom, let's go buy baby supplies together when Dad gets here. We have time today."
Li Yuzhu nodded, her eyes full of anticipation: "Okay, let's go together then."
After the meal, Tan Zhengchu accompanied Li Yuzhu and Su Yingxue to the baby products section of the mall.
The mall is filled with a dazzling array of baby products, from strollers to baby clothes, each one is exquisite.
Soon after, Tan Xiangchen also rushed over from the company and joined the shopping spree. Looking at the sizes of the baby clothes, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, how come these clothes are so small? They look so delicate!"
Tan Xiangchen looked at Li Yuzhu with a hint of guilt in his eyes: "Yuzhu, I used to be too busy with work and didn't participate much in childcare activities. Now that I think about it, it's really a pity."
Li Yuzhu gently held his hand and said in a tender tone, "Let's not talk about the past. Being able to stay by your side now is the best compensation."
So the two of them began to carefully select baby clothes and shoes.
Li Yuzhu treated the little one in her belly as her daughter, picking out many pink dresses and shoes, her face full of happiness.
Looking at the baby supplies in front of her, Su Yingxue hesitated, "Zhengchu, how about we get a gender test? That would make buying clothes easier."
Tan Zhengchu shook his head, his eyes resolute: "No, I still want to keep this surprise. It would be very disappointing if the doctor misjudged."
He thought for a moment and then added, "How about this, we prepare some clothes for both boys and girls, so that no matter whether it's a boy or a girl, they can use them."
Su Yingxue smiled slightly and nodded: "Alright, let's buy some of everything then."
