When Gu Yu Cheng heard Su Rui say that she wanted to eat potato chips, his expression visibly froze.
“Hold on.”
“Don’t.” Noticing that Gu Yu Cheng was about to get up, Su Rui hurriedly pulled him.
“I just said it casually.” She blurted without much thought and it was more of a complaint.
Besides, she was not supposed to eat fried food now that she is pregnant.
Even if she could eat them, where can they find potato chips at this time of the night?
“I know.” Gu Yu Cheng said in response as he leaned down and gently kissed Su Rui’s forehead. He wiped away the sweat that emerged from her head and added, “I’ll go see what food I can prepare for you.” Su Rui nodded her head after hearing Gu Yu Cheng’s words.
“Thank you, hubby.” Su Rui said softly.
Probably because she just cried, Su Rui’s voice was still a bit nasal and soft, making one’s heart soften unconsciously.
……
Dr. Zhang is the family doctor hired by the Gu family.
When Dr. Zhang received a call from his employer late at night, he thought that someone was sick.
In the end, he answered the call and heard Gu Yu Cheng asking a question very seriously, “Is it alright if an eight-month pregant woman eats potato chips?”
though he was considered a relatively authoritative doctor and his practice as a family doctor was more compromise, he does not specialize in obstetrics and gynecology or anything relating to the area of childbirth. So how could he dare to blindly answer?!
Dr. Zhang silently complained in his heart.
However, with good professionalism, Dr. Zhang still took into account what he knew and looked it up on the internet before answering this question.
“A pregnant woman’s mood is also very important during pregnancy. So if your wife wants to eat them, she can have a few.”
“But potato chips are high in fats and additives. Hence, it is fine to try them and not recommended to eat too much.”
Hearing Dr. Zhang’s words, Gu Yu Cheng nodded his head and thanked him.
After he ended the call, he changed his clothes and got ready to go out.
Mother Su and Father Su are old, and they were originally light-sleepers.
Plus with Su Rui, their daughter—who is in the later stage of her pregnancy—at home, Liu Yue does not sleep deeply.
Therefore, Mother Su still noticed Gu Yu Cheng’s movements even though it was very soft.
“What’s wrong?” Father Su asked as he was woken up by his wife.
“I am not sure if it’s Rui Rui that woke up. I’ll go and check. It’s fine. You can sleep.”
Mother Su put on a robe and came out of the bedroom.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw GuYu Cheng downstairs, ready to go out.
“Yu Cheng?”
“Mum.”
Seeing Gu Yu Cheng walking towards the door, Mother Su asked with a surprised expression, “You’re going out at this time of the night?”
After observing for some time, she really believed what Su Rui said that Gu Yu Cheng would never cheat when his wife is pregnant.
On one hand, it was a matter of character.
On the other hand, Gu Yu Cheng’s eyes are practically glued on Su Rui. Being tormented by a pregnant woman, he would be very capable if this man had the energy to cheat.
Going to the office this late?
It doesn’t seem like it.
It can’t be that he is going to the office dressed like this, right?
After seeing Gu Yu Cheng still in his loungewear trousers Mother Su pondered.
Before she could figure it out, she heard Gu Yu Cheng say, “Rui Rui is hungry. I’ll go and buy her something to eat.”
Mother Su’s brow furrowed when she heard Gu Yu Cheng’s explanation.
“What item do we not have at home that you have to go out in the middle of the night to buy?”
“Potato chips.”
(Snort) We really don’t have this at home.
But…
“Rui Rui said that she wants to eat potato chips?”
“En.”
“How is that okay? Potato chips are so unhealthy. She has put up with it for the past few months, can’t she just endure it for one day?” Mother Su said disapprovingly.
“And it is the middle of the night and the supermarkets are closed. Where are you going to buy them for her?”
“I won’t let her eat too much. I will just feed her a few pieces to satisfy her cravings,” Gu Yu Cheng said. After a pause, he added, “There should be a 24-hour convenience store nearby.”
Looking at Gu Yu Cheng’s insistent face, Mother Su slightly knitted her brows and she didn’t speak further.
“Then you should drive and go and come back quickly. It’s fine if you really can’t find it.”
“Don’t buy too many!” Mother Su emphasized, “There is sweet soup in the kitchen. I will heat it up for her to eat.” The potato chips will just be served as a token and not really for real.
“I know, mum.” Gu Yu Cheng agreed and left the house.
Mother Su waited till Gu Yu Cheng left the house, before she sighed.
These two people are also going to be parents. Although we are concerned about their children’s affairs, we can not interfere too much under the pretext of concern.
Otherwise, we would really be disliked.
(Sigh) Potato chips it is then.
When I was pregnant with Rui Rui, I was obsessed with KFC. I even secretly went to the shop behind my family’s back and ate them for a long time.
Wasn’t Rui Rui born healthy anyway?
