Yu Dong pulled away from Fang Chi and as soon as she pulled away from him, Shen Li and Ye Liu also changed their expressions. Today was a special day for Yu Dong and Fang Chi, they didn't want to ruin it by showing their expressions to her thus even though they were feeling a bit upset about their incapability to get pregnant, they were still willing to put on a smile.

  After all, this was something all mers had to go through once in their lives. But as the two glanced at each other, they were sure of one thing, they needed to get a checkup done as soon as possible because no way in hell were they going to continue living in the dark anymore.

  The two mers clenched their fists and took a deep breath, even though they couldn't get past the hurdle that life has thrown at them, they wanted to know why they couldn't make it past it. Or else they won't be able to sleep at night!

  The door of the back room opened and Xiao Bai who has gone to entertain the guests outside walked right in, though he looked as resplendent as ever but if one were to take a careful look at him, they would see that he was missing the swagger he usually had in his pace. His gaze fell on Yu Dong who was brimming with happiness, he didn't know why but he really didn't like the scene in front of him as much as he should have liked it and that was why he didn't smile at Yu Dong but he did turn to Fang Chi with a smile.

  " Congratulations, I pray that you will give birth to a healthy baby." Xiao Bai's wishes weren't empty, he was genuinely happy for Fang Chi after all he has seen just how many troubles the poor mer had to go through before he could marry Yu Dong, it was just that he was finding Yu Dong a bit of an eyesore at the moment and he didn't know why he was feeling like this.

  "Thank you, brother Bai." Fang Chi smilingly said as he turned to look at Xiao Bai who has come to see him, before he was too shocked but now that he was finally back to his senses, he couldn't help but feel like the entire world was filled with light, even Xiao Bai who was already flashy enough looked like he was an angel descending from the heaven.

  The back door of the room opened and Yu Mai who was playing in the first-floor kitchen came rushing behind him was Chen Mi who was carrying a bowl of porridge. "It's a good thing that the guys in the kitchen were cooking their lunch, so I got this from them." He handed the bowl to Fang Chi as he sat down next to him. "It's not much but I did tell them to well, cook for another batch of seafood porridge in case you can't stomach the shredded chicken one."

  Fang Chi didn't even have to take a bite to know that he wouldn't be able to take a bite of this one either, because the second the smell of the cooked porridge wafted to his nostrils, he gagged feeling like he was being choked on something. And hurriedly put it away, as he clamped his hand on his mouth and shook his head. " I can't… I can't eat it. It smells so bad."

  " It does what now?" Xiao Bai frowned as he picked up the porridge and poked his finger in it before tasting a little bit of it, it tasted fine to him and even the scent was good. Good thing, he tasted it himself or he would have thought that his mers were slacking off while working in the kitchen. " It tastes fine to me."

  Chen Mi was amused as he took the bowl from him and handed it back to Fang Chi. " Of course, it tastes all right to you. You aren't pregnant only those who are pregnant will feel a change in their taste buds." Then he turned to Fang Chi and sternly said, " You have to eat it even if you can't stomach it, or else you won't feel good later on. Every single bowl of grains is really important for a safe and healthy pregnancy."

  Yu Dong felt a pang in her heart when she heard Chen Mi say this, she could feel that he was saying it from his experience. After all, when she wasn't here, the poor guy didn't have any grains to eat much less be picky about it. He must have done his best to swallow whatever he was given without any fuss—— sigh, though she wasn't the one who was responsible for her husbands' terrible past, she still felt like she owed them a lot every time she thought about what kind of life they have been living with the previous Yu Dong.

  Fang Chi too knew that Chen Mi was saying the truth, after all, when he lived with his grandmother, it was rare for him to even get meat to eat in a month, now that he was living a comfortable life, how can he act so picky all of a sudden? He picked up the spoon and was just going to take a bite when it was taken away by Yu Dong. " Dong Dong?"

  " If you can't stomach it there is no need for you to force yourself," said Yu Dong as she turned around and walked towards the exit door. " I will cook something for you, lets's see if you will be able to eat that or not,"

  Then after closing the door of the back room, she walked away to the kitchen on the first floor. She might not be the perfect wife but the least she could do was to let her pregnant husband eat a decent meal that he will be able to stomach.
