Return of the Antagonistic Lady Boss

Chapter 886: Chapter 860: Suspected Pregnancy—Dayi Draws Attention

This little mischievous fire in Qian had kept Yu Minglang from exploding until they reached the restaurant. Xiaoqiang decided that he would have her chant that stuff for him later... hehe!

With such impure thoughts, Yu Minglang hugged Qian as they entered the private room.

All the dishes were served, just waiting for these two.

”What took you so long? Why are you so late?” Mr. Yu was already impatient.

His eldest son had recently been feeling unsatisfied after meals; it was growth time. What would happen if his wife went hungry?

”Had some errands—hey, why are we eating crayfish?”

Yu Minglang thought they would have a grand feast today, but the exquisite table was merely adorned with over a dozen dishes, the most eye-catching being the large bowl of fragrant spicy crayfish in the center.

The spicy crayfish, an accessible dish, outshone the surrounding sea cucumber and abalone. The crayfish soaked in red oil was mouthwatering.

”Your eldest son wanted some, so we ordered a serving.”

The hotel didn’t have it, so the waiter took a taxi to buy it from a street stall.

”Why is your eldest son eating all sorts of strange things lately? Could she be pregnant?” Qian asked casually.

This sentence silenced everyone at the table.

Qian was stunned herself after uttering it.

Eh...?!

Everyone’s gaze shifted to the eldest son’s belly. Mrs. Yu’s eyes lit up.

There hadn’t been the sound of a baby crying in the house for a long time. Could it be a joyful event?

The eldest son, belatedly, touched her stomach, ”It can’t be, can it?”

Mr. Yu was also stunned; he had taken precautions.

Although officially married for years, the eldest was still in school, and they hadn’t had time to hold a banquet. They planned to do so after the eldest graduated.

It was unsuitable for her to attend school while pregnant, especially since the eldest son planned on pursuing a PhD after finishing graduate school. They already had Panpan.

Could it have happened that time?

Both Mr. Yu and the eldest remembered simultaneously.

”No, it can’t be, it’s only been a few days...” The eldest son stuttered, holding her belly.

”Oh! A few days!” Xiaoqiang and Mei synchronized in surprise, even nodding in agreement.

”Normally, there shouldn’t be any reaction in a few days... Just to be sure, take a test when you get home.” Mrs. Yu refused to let go of the hope and even confiscated the eldest son’s Sprite.

The eldest son’s eyes almost welled up with tears.

Eating crayfish without Sprite is far from living life.

”Just to be safe, you shouldn’t drink these carbonated beverages. Qian, you take care of it!” Mrs. Yu boldly passed the Sprite to Qian.

Qian grinned, and under the jealous eyes of the eldest son, poured the Sprite into a glass, put on gloves, grabbed a crayfish, and enjoyed it, still managing to jab at the eldest.

”Come on, come on, let’s give this suspected pregnant woman a glass of boiled water—perhaps you shouldn’t eat crayfish either, just sniff them?”

The eldest son was utterly shocked.

No Sprite, and now no crayfish?

As promised, solidarity and shared struggles?

Promised to be as close as siblings, but now Qian was enjoying crayfish and soda while the eldest looked on pitifully.

In crucial moments, it’s only the genuine husband who comes in handy. Mr. Yu felt too sorry and peeled a shrimp tail for her.

But such eating couldn’t satisfy the peculiar cravings of the eldest; proper eating involves engaging both hands—in one a shrimp body, in the other a claw, sucking all the juices from the shrimp body, licking fingers clean. Otherwise, what’s the point of eating? The goal is the bold momentum to devour the land!

But now, because of Qian’s joke, they couldn’t enjoy their shrimp, losing many pleasures in life.

Brother couldn’t resist the pout of the eldest and considered peeling another one, but Mrs. Yu stopped him.

”Don’t eat too much chili; it’ll cause heartburn.”

”Eating one more shouldn’t cause that much heartburn?” Brother defended the eldest.

”You’re incredible; never seen such a careless expectant father.” Mrs. Yu rolled her eyes at her son, but didn’t notice the eldest’s shoulder flinch.

Suddenly, the red-hot crayfish lost its appeal.

The eldest suddenly recalled.

Brother mentioned he might not like children... Last time asked if he wanted one, he straightforwardly said no!

”Eat one more.” Brother handed food to the eldest.

The eldest shook her head.

Looking at Brother’s familiar expression, it didn’t look like a joyful one.

Then look at Panpan beside him, the same icy expression...

The heart went cold.

Do they both dislike new life so much...

The meal took the eldest from anticipation to sadness, viewing the red crayfish sauce with tragic hues, feeling life filled with sorrow.

Qian quietly observed the scene, including Mr. Yu and his son’s expressions, and the eldest’s sorrowful gaze, taking it all in.

How much fate can bring together such a miraculous couple, tsk tsk tsk.

Turning to look at her own somewhat dim Xiaoqiang, shaking her head.

”What’s up?” Yu Minglang asked while picking food.

”Suddenly, you look more pleasing to the eye.”

”What?” Xiaoqiang was confused, what’s going on?

Women’s hearts are as hard to grasp as needles at the bottom of the ocean.

Qian pouted, though Xiaoqiang sometimes acted foolish, at least not as disappointing as Mr. Yu, who lacked common sense, causing frustration.

The most despairing for a woman is a man’s lack of reaction.

A surprise reaction is somewhat expected, be it joy or excitement, but anything other than joy isn’t accepted.

Mr. Yu was typically like that, not showing emotions. His ex-wife Wang Xiaohong divorced him because Brother never expressed anything, always silent.

The eldest wasn’t usually chatty, but not as extreme as Mr. Yu.

If pregnant, hormonal changes would alter mood, causing irritability and anxiety. Poor emotions of pregnant women directly affect fetal quality.

So maintaining a pregnant woman’s happiness is beneficial for both mother and child.

If so...

Qian removed the plastic gloves used to eat shrimp, elegantly wiping her hands as she casually spoke.

”Mom, when carrying the four siblings, were your tempers the same?”

”Different. When carrying your older brother, there was no reaction, could eat and sleep normally; carrying the twins had more symptoms, nausea for months, this troublemaker Yu Laomao revealed his naughty nature in the womb.”

Yu Minglang rolled his eyes, ”How do you know it was me being mischievous? You carried two, why not say it was Xiaoxi causing trouble?”

To prove he was a good child, he could even sell out his sister, showing his shameless nature in his eyes.
