Yuan Zhen didn't like Jiujiu to begin with because of how she stuck to Ling Xiao. Now that Jiujiu said that she was pretentious, Yuan Zhen's face darkened instantly.
However, Ling Xiao was right in front of her. Even if she was mocked, Yuan Zhen didn't say anything.
Jiujiu was the boss behind Yipin Vegetarian Restaurant. She had a private room in Yipin Vegetarian Restaurant.
Jiujiu brought Ling Xiao and Yuan Zhen directly to the private room. After the three of them sat down, Jiujiu immediately said to the waiter, "This sister is pregnant. Get the kitchen to make something light and send it up."
After Jiujiu finished speaking, she smiled at Yuan Zhen and said, "Although it's normal to vomit during pregnancy, it's better to reduce the pain. Don't you think so?"
Jiujiu's words were all for Yuan Zhen's sake, but every word reminded her that she was pregnant and had a child in her stomach. This child wasn't Ling Xiao's. She had no chance.
Yuan Zhen hated Jiujiu in her heart, but she could only say gratefully, "Thank you for your concern, Little Sister."
Jiujiu looked at Ling Xiao shyly. "After I marry the general in the future, I'll also have a child. I'm also preparing myself in advance. Don't you think so, Big Sister?"
Most women in the boudoir.
Men would be shy when they saw them, let alone confessing in front of so many people.
People like Jiujiu who said that she wanted to bear Ling Xiao a child in front of him were very rare.
Yuan Zhen had lived for so many years, but this was the first time she met a woman as shameless as Jiujiu. For a moment, she didn't know what to say. She could only say with a stiff face, "Yes."
After receiving Yuan Zhen's agreement, Jiujiu smiled brightly at Ling Xiao. "Does the general like a boy or a girl?"
Ling Xiao went to the battlefield at the age of 13. When he killed for the first time, he didn't tremble. When his father passed away, he carried the flag of the army with his young shoulders.
However, at this moment, when he heard Jiujiu ask him if he liked boys or girls, he felt his body tremble slightly.
Ling Xiao wanted to open his mouth and tell Jiujiu to stop talking nonsense, but when the words were at the tip of his tongue, he really couldn't bear to do it.
Because he also wanted to have a child with Jiujiu.
It didn't matter if it was a boy or a girl.
Yuan Zhen originally thought that Ling Xiao would refute, but he did not expect that Ling Xiao would only glance at Jiujiu before lowering his head to drink his tea.
Yuan Zhen was shocked.
She was the wife of one of Ling Xiao's subordinates. Naturally, she saw Ling Xiao often and knew his personality very well.
Therefore, Ling Xiao's change surprised her even more.
Ling Xiao was obviously attracted to Jiujiu.
The dishes were quickly served.
However, it was split into two.
The food placed in front of Yuan Zhen was very bland, but the food placed in front of Jiujiu and Ling Xiao was brightly colored and tasty.
Jiujiu looked at the shocked Yuan Zhen and explained with a smile, "Older Sister is not feeling well and should not eat greasy food. I am at the age of my body, so I am not fit to eat with Older Sister."
After Jiujiu finished speaking, she picked up a piece of fish and placed it in Ling Xiao's bowl. "This is the squirrel fish that I specially ordered them to make. General, try it."
The fish's skin was fried golden and crispy, but the meat was tender and snow-white. Just looking at it was very tempting.
Ling Xiao picked up the piece of fish that Jiujiu gave him and put it into his mouth.
The crispy shell and tender fish meat even had a hint of sweetness in his mouth.
He had eaten squirrel fish before, but this one was his favorite.
Seeing Ling Xiao eat the fish that she picked up, Jiujiu immediately asked, "How is it? Is it good?"
Jiujiu's eyes sparkled like two little stars. They twinkled and were exceptionally adorable.
Ling Xiao smiled instantly. "It's delicious."
After receiving Ling Xiao's affirmation, Jiujiu instantly smiled and picked up all the dishes that she thought were delicious for Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao ate them one by one and met Jiujiu's sparkling eyes as he said, "It's delicious."
Jiujiu chuckled. "As long as it's delicious."
It was clearly a table, but Jiujiu and Ling Xiao were talking and laughing, while her side was cold and cheerless. Especially when all the food in front of her was bland soup, Yuan Zhen felt even worse.
Murderous intent rose in her heart.
After the meal, Yuan Zhen said that she was tired and wanted to go back.
Ling Xiao wanted to send Yuan Zhen back, but Jiujiu hugged his arm.
Jiujiu said stubbornly, "No, I don't want you to go."
Jiujiu wrinkled her little nose and looked stubborn, like a tsundere cat. It was impossible to reject her.
Ling Xiao said to Yuan Zhen, "I'll get someone to send you back."
Hearing Ling Xiao say that, Yuan Zhen's face stiffened. "It's fine. I'll go back myself."
Yuan Zhen got into the carriage and quickly disappeared from Jiujiu's sight.
Looking at the disappearing carriage, Jiujiu said to Ling Xiao, "I don't like her. Stay away from her in the future."
Jiujiu boldly and straightforwardly said why she didn't like Yuan Zhen. Ling Xiao could only explain, "She just lost her husband and now has a child. I have to take care of her."
"You're not the father of her child. Besides, doesn't she have other relatives?"
Of course she did, but …
"She has some conflicts with them and can't go back. She can only stay here with me." Seeing Jiujiu wrinkle her nose and eyebrows because of his answer, Ling Xiao chuckled.
What a child.
"She lives in the east courtyard. She's very far away from me."
"She can't be far away from you." Jiujiu said stubbornly, "Why don't you send her to the manor outside the city and send a few more people to serve her?"
Jiujiu smiled sweetly. "Firstly, it's quiet outside the city. It's good for the baby. Secondly, I'll be at ease if she's far away from you."
Jiujiu stated her idea clearly.
She really made it impossible for anyone to reject her.
Seeing Jiujiu blinking her big eyes and waiting for his answer, Ling Xiao explained softly, "She's carrying my subordinate's posthumous child. Because she was frightened when she came here, the baby's position is unstable. She must be kept by my side and carefully looked after."
Seeing Jiujiu's face scrunch up because of his words, Ling Xiao hurriedly promised, "When her baby's position is stable, I'll tell him about her going to the manor. How about it?"
After receiving an affirmative answer, Jiujiu smiled.
Seeing that Jiujiu was happy, Ling Xiao instantly heaved a sigh of relief and smiled with Jiujiu.
Jiujiu said that she wanted Ling Xiao to accompany her out to play, but in reality, they were just walking along the river.
When they reached the small bridge and looked at the flowing water below, Jiujiu looked at Ling Xiao and asked, "General, when are you going to marry me?"
After Jiujiu's passionate confession just now, and now being asked by Jiujiu when he was going to marry her, Ling Xiao only felt like his heart was being hammered by a sledgehammer, making thumping sounds.
The surrounding air heated up with his heartbeat. Ling Xiao lowered his head to look at Jiujiu.
Jiujiu also had her head lowered. He could only see the tip of her small nose and her thick, black, fan-like eyelashes.
