  The butler had already prepared breakfast when she reached the first floor.

  It was all nutritious food for pregnant women.

  Even though the serving size wasn’t big, the food was delicately plated and one would definitely have a huge increase in appetite just by looking at it.

  “These… Are these specially made for me?” As Shangxin took a glance at the dining table and she pointed with her nose. The surprise in her eyes could very clearly be seen.

  It wasn’t that he had not taken care of her before.

  In the past, Tang Yuansi took care of her every day when he hadn’t been taken to the Tang Family.

  The degree of attentiveness and consideration shown then was the same now he knew that she was pregnant.

  She wasn’t at all unfamiliar to that.

  However, she had not enjoyed such good treatment since the Tang Family had taken him home.

  She suddenly had everything that she had yearned for. However, she felt an unspeakable sense of surreality in her heart.

  Turning around, she stared at Tang Yuansi and did not sit down to have her breakfast immediately.

  “Why? You don’t like it?” Tang Yuansi asked her worriedly.

  A streak of worry flashed past his handsome face.

  He clenched his fists.

  They had indeed been apart for a very long time.

  Even though she had always held a place in his heart; he had prepared all her favorite food from the past, however, he wasn’t sure if they were still her favorites now.

  Seeing that she was standing there motionless, he had started to worry if the food that he had prepared did not suit her taste.

  “If you don’t want to eat any of this, I can tell the kitchen to prepare other food for you…” Just as Tang Yuansi was going to instruct the servants to take the food away, Shangxin suddenly reached out and pinched his face.

  As if once wasn’t enough, she pinched it one more time.

  She mumbled, “Not painful? Seems like it is fake, I was thinking why you are suddenly so nice. Anyway, this face looked pretty legit, I didn’t know if you had put on a face mask or if you had gone for plastic surgery…”


  “…”


  He finally knew the meaning of “the evils we bring on ourselves are the hardest to bear”.

  Reaching out, Tang Yuansi grabbed onto her moving hands. In a low, hoarse voice, he said, “Xin’er, stop playing!”


  “This sentence seems real.” As Shangxin retracted her hands, she lifted her head and stared at him seriously with her huge eyes.

  She still seemed to be wondering if he was the real Tang Yuansi.

  She curled her lips slowly when he did not speak for a very long while.

  “You’re still the same as before, not a single word of bullsh*t would come out of your mouth even after half a day. It seems like you are indeed genuine.”


  Just when she reached out for the chair to sit down, Tang Yuansi reminded her with knitted eyebrows.

  “You’re a lady. Don’t sprout vulgarities.”


  “Okay.” After Shangxin replied obediently, she picked up the glass of milk and took a sip.

  The warm milk tasted very good.

  She gulped down the entire glass before she started on her breakfast.

  A person’s food intake would increase during pregnancy.

  She was eating very quickly and eating way more than before. Tang Yuansi was very satisfied with this.

  As he sat opposite her, he kept staring at her to the extent that he had forgotten to eat.

  “Why have you only taken two mouthfuls? You’re eating so little and your complexion looks worse than mine. People who don’t know better would have thought that I have angered you so much that your heart attack has acted up…”


  Before Shangxin could finish teasing him, Tang Yuansi’s face turned ghastly pale.

  As if he had been exposed, a streak of panic flashed past his eyes.

  However, at the very next second, he hid it again.

  Then, he picked up the glass of milk beside him and nonchalantly took two sips.

  Seeing that she had finished her meal, he instructed the butler to retrieve her coat and led her out.

  “You don’t have regular meals and you also drank alcohol very frequently some time ago. I am worried, let’s head to the hospital first to do a detailed body checkup.” He explained while walking.
