Pei Huai seemed even more nervous as he listened to Jiang Yue's words. Jiang Yue noticed that his hands were secretly fidgeting with the fabric of his cuffs.

Several seconds passed before Pei Huai spoke again.

"President Jiang, I understand what you mean."

It's windy outside, and you're feeling unwell. I've prepared a private room; let's go inside and talk."

Jiang Yue's belly was much larger than that of an average pregnant woman, and she had also lost a lot of weight since becoming pregnant. Pei Huai was afraid that she would lose her balance and fall to the ground, seeing her thin body carrying such a big belly.

"Alright."

Jiang Yue nodded, signaling Pei Huai to lead the way.

Pei Huai walked ahead, not daring to go too fast, for fear that Jiang Yue wouldn't be able to keep up.

He prepared the hotel's best private room.

Once inside the private room, Pei Huai had juice, milk, and some of the restaurant's special pastries served to Jiang Yue, as she was pregnant and couldn't drink tea or coffee.

The service was excellent.

After everything was served, Pei Huai spoke again, saying to Jiang Yue, "Now that President Jiang knows about my child's situation..."

"I won't beat around the bush, Mr. Jiang. To be honest, I wanted to ask you to cook for my son because he might only be able to avoid vomiting if he eats your food."

Jiang Yue: "..."

Lu Yan: "..."

Both of them were stunned by Pei Huai's words.

Seeing that the two of them were looking at him with confusion and bewilderment, Pei Huai touched his nose embarrassedly, lowered his voice and tried to make his voice sound gentle as he explained to them.

"You might not understand what I'm saying, so let me explain. The first time Dongdong ate something and didn't vomit, it was because he drank the milk tea that you, President Jiang, made yourself."

"Isn't that milk tea bought from a milk tea shop?" Jiang Yue asked. It wasn't really made by her; the milk tea these days was all made by the milk tea shop's employees.

Pei Huai shook his head. "That day, a little girl from a branch of the Lu family came to my house to play. She met Dongdong and saw him looking at the milk tea in her hand, so she gave the milk tea to him."

After Dongdong drank it, he didn't spit it out at all. At first, I thought the milk tea was from a milk tea shop, so I went to buy him some. But after he drank two sips, he spit it out again.

Pei Huai sighed softly, "At first I thought it was because the milk tea I bought wasn't the same flavor as the one he drank last time, so I went to buy more. I bought milk tea for many days but still couldn't find one that would make him not throw up."

"Until half a month ago, my mother went to visit the Lu family's old house. When she came back, she brought back half a box of pastries from Grandma Lu's house. Unexpectedly, Dongdong really liked the pastries and didn't vomit after eating them."

My mom said those pastries were made by you for Grandma Lu. When she wanted to take them, Grandma Lu was very reluctant, but when my mom said they were for Dongdong, Grandma Lu reluctantly agreed to give her half a box.

"Later, I also asked the girl who gave Dongdong milk tea last time. She said that the milk tea last time was also made by you. That morning, she went to the Lu family's old house, and you happened to be there. She saw you making milk tea and asked for a cup."

After saying that, Pei Huai looked at Jiang Yue nervously.

After hearing Pei Huai's words, Lu Yan couldn't help but ask, "Is it really that amazing?"

Dongdong only eats my sister-in-law's cooking, but he's never even met her.

Pei Huai said, "I asked Dongdong why he likes eating President Jiang's cooking. President Jiang's cooking has a special aroma. When he eats it, he feels comfortable in his stomach and doesn't feel like vomiting."

“But my sister-in-law is heavily pregnant now, and she can’t come to your house to cook for Dongdong every day.”

Lu Yan was a little worried. If he had known it would be like this, he shouldn't have told his sister-in-law about it. His third uncle and aunt wouldn't even let his sister-in-law pour him a glass of water at home. If they knew he had caused his sister-in-law such a big problem, they would scold him to death.

Pei Huai also felt guilty. If he could, he wouldn't want to trouble Jiang Yue, but Dongdong's condition was really bad because he hadn't been able to eat for a long time, and his life would be in danger if this continued.

Dongdong was the only bloodline of his comrade-in-arms. If anything happened to Dongdong, he could not forgive himself even if he had to die to atone for it.

"I should be able to make something simple."

Jiang Yue thought for a moment and said to Pei Huai, "How about this, I'll try to cook some food for your child these next few days. After a while, I'll teach my cooking techniques to your hotel's chef so he can try making a dish and let Dongdong taste it to see if he still throws up."

She can't keep cooking for Dongdong. After all, she's about to give birth, and taking care of the baby during her postpartum period will be very tiring. She won't have time to cook for a little kid.

Of course, it wouldn't be right for Jiang Yue not to help either; she couldn't just stand by and watch a child starve to death.

Hearing that Jiang Yue was willing to help, Pei Huai's face lit up with joy. "Thank you, President Jiang. As long as you are willing to help Dongdong, I am willing to play the male lead in your TV series. I don't want any salary. I can also invest and sponsor you. I will cover all the expenses during your filming and the post-production publicity."

Pei Huai has no shortage of money.

Lu Yan's mouth dropped open so wide it could fit an egg. He hadn't just found a leading man; he'd found a god of wealth!

Say yes, say yes quickly!

Lu Yan kept giving Jiang Yue meaningful glances; they absolutely couldn't let such a big benefactor get away.

Moreover, Pei Huai is rich, and the Pei family is even richer than theirs.

Jiang Yue looked at Lu Yan's eyes, which were twitching from blinking so much, and said to Pei Huai while suppressing her laughter, "Let's go to the kitchen first. I'll make something simple for Dongdong to eat. President Pei can take it back and see if he will throw up after eating it."

"If you really stop vomiting, then we can talk about what President Pei said."

Since she had helped, Jiang Yue was bound to accept a reward.

Of course, Jiang Yue would have helped even if Pei Huai hadn't mentioned these benefits, but since Pei Huai had brought them up, Jiang Yue wasn't foolish enough to refuse.

"There is a separate small kitchen upstairs. What ingredients does Mr. Jiang need?"

I'll have someone prepare it right now.

Pei Huai didn't let Jiang Yue go to the main kitchen of the restaurant on the first floor. There were too many people there, and Jiang Yue was heavily pregnant. What if she bumped or fell?

Jiang Yue thought for a moment, wrote down some ingredients on a piece of paper, handed it to Pei Huai, and then followed him to the small kitchen upstairs.

Speaking of the small kitchen, it's over fifty square meters in size and fully equipped with all the necessary cooking utensils.

Knowing that Dongdong hadn't been able to eat for a long time, Jiang Yue was worried that if she made food that was too hard, his stomach wouldn't be able to handle it. So she planned to cook him some porridge first, and then make two light snacks.

Pei Huai not only had someone bring over the ingredients, but also had someone call a kitchen helper to help Jiang Yue prepare them.

Jiang Yue only needs to direct from the side and then put the prepared ingredients into the pot. She doesn't have to bend over or wash and chop vegetables, so it's not tiring.
