...Several dishes were rearranged on the table. Ye Ningwan put Xiaoxing's favorite shrimp dumplings in his bowl. Xiaoxing opened his mouth wide and stuffed the whole shrimp dumpling into his mouth.
"Awoo!"
Then he squinted his eyes and chewed with a look of enjoyment, his actions and expressions exactly the same as Ye Ningwan's just now.
Ye Ningwan brushed a stray hair from Xiaoxing's forehead, looking at Xiaoxing with a gentle expression in her eyes.
"Is it tasty?"
Little Star nodded vigorously and said.
"Delicious! As expected, there are so many delicious foods in China. My mom and I have never eaten anything this good when we were abroad."
The little guy has a Chinese stomach; he can't get used to foreign food and still prefers Chinese cuisine. Unfortunately, Chinese restaurants abroad are often disappointing. In the end, Little Star's favorite food is still Ye Ningwan's cooking.
The little guy has been very happy since returning to China.
Especially during this period, Tang Ruanruan took care of the two brothers, making them delicious food every day in different ways. Little Xingxing especially liked this Aunt Ruanruan who could cook and was gentle and considerate!
Of course, compared to Mommy, Aunt Ruan Ruan is second, and Mommy is first!
Mommy will always be number one in his heart!
Ye Ningwan smiled, patted Little Star's head, and coaxed her softly.
"Once Mommy is done with everything here, I'll cook something delicious for you and Yuyu, so you can eat your fill!"
Little Star immediately understood what Ye Ningwan meant from her words.
He swallowed the shrimp dumpling, looked at Ye Ningwan with some disappointment, and asked with a wronged expression.
Aren't you coming back with me?
Ye Ningwan shook her head helplessly.
"Not today, we'll have to wait a while. During this time, you and Yuyu will stay with Aunt Ruanruan. Be a good girl and don't run around anymore, okay?"
It must be said that although Little Star is mischievous, he is also a very sensible and considerate child.
He nodded and said to Ye Ningwan.
"Okay, then Yu Yu and I will stay home and wait for Mommy to come back. Mommy, you must come back soon!"
Ye Ningwan felt incredibly guilty, but she couldn't say anything to Xiaoxing. She could only rub the little guy's head. The little guy, unlike before when Pei Fengzhi touched his head, actively brought his head closer and rubbed it against Ye Ningwan's palm a few times, being incredibly well-behaved.
Suddenly, footsteps sounded at the door, and Jiang Yinglin's voice could be faintly heard.
Ye Ningwan was shocked; she had almost forgotten that Pei Fengzhi had bought her a small cake!
At this moment, Ye Ningwan's first thought was that she must not let Pei Fengzhi know about Xiaoxing's existence, because the Pei family would not allow their lawfully wedded daughter-in-law to be a woman who had given birth out of wedlock and had two children out of wedlock.
Ye Ningwan didn't care how the Pei family treated her, but she wouldn't allow anyone to harm her child in any way!
These two children are her only family now, and they are her life!
Without even thinking, Ye Ningwan picked up Xiaoxing, lifted the tablecloth, threw the little guy under the table, and then whispered sternly to him in the last few seconds.
"Hide well! Don't let anyone find you!"
The little star blinked and nodded vigorously.
"Yes, Mommy, don't worry!"
The little star huddled obediently under the table, just like an adorable little puppy.
Ye Ningwan was charmed by him, but this wasn't the time to reminisce about how adorable her little one was. She immediately put down the tablecloth and sat down herself, trying her best to block out the little star under the table.
Almost simultaneously, the door to the private room was pushed open, and Ye Ningwan immediately sat up straight, turning her head to feign surprise.
"You're finally back!"
At the entrance of the private room, Pei Fengzhi and Jiang Yinglin were together. Pei Fengzhi had a cake box on his lap, which should be the mango and peach mille-feuille cake he bought for Ye Ningwan.
Jiang Yinglin did not enter, but instead scanned the private room before fixing his gaze on Ye Ningwan's face with a meaningful look in his eyes.
Ye Ningwan felt a little nervous and subconsciously clenched her fingers, her nails almost digging into her palms.
Could Jiang Yinglin have discovered something?
Fortunately, Jiang Yinglin simply left and spoke to Pei Fengzhi.
"Ninth Master and Madam, please enjoy your meal. I'll head down now."
Pei Fengzhi waved his hand.
"Go."
Pei Fengzhi's wheelchair was pushed in front of Ye Ningwan, and the door to the private room behind them was closed again.
Pei Fengzhi placed the cake box on the table, glanced at the newly served dishes, and then, while unpacking the cake box, smiled gently at Ye Ningwan.
"Aren't you full yet? Would you like the restaurant to make you a few more dishes? It's not just Cantonese food here. Just tell us what dishes you want, and the chef can make them too."
Ye Ningwan smiled and shook her head, her gaze fixed on the cake that Pei Fengzhi was unwrapping, a look of longing on her face.
"No need, I've eaten enough, I want cake!"
Pei Fengzhi's gaze softened, and a faint smile appeared on his usually aloof face as he took out a whole eight-inch mango and peach mille-feuille from the cake box.
"I bought an eight-inch one. If we can't finish it, we can take it home. Don't force yourself to eat it. We can freeze it and eat it tomorrow."
Pei Fengzhi reached out and touched Ye Ningwan's belly, then whispered.
Don't try to hold yourself together.
Pei Fengzhi's hands were slightly warm. He pressed them against Ye Ningwan's stomach and gently massaged it, one massage after another, with just the right amount of pressure, making her feel very comfortable.
When Ye Ningwan thought about the little one under the table, she felt embarrassed to be so close to another man in front of her son. She immediately grabbed Pei Fengzhi's hand to stop him from rubbing her belly.
Ye Ningwan spoke to Pei Fengzhi with slight unease.
"I'm not full, you don't need to do this for me."
Seeing how shy she was, Pei Fengzhi couldn't help but laugh. He grabbed Ye Ningwan's hand and pulled her forcefully into his arms.
Ye Ningwan stumbled and landed on Pei Fengzhi's lap.
"So proactive?"
Pei Fengzhi leaned down and got close to Ye Ningwan. His extremely handsome and perfect face was right in front of Ye Ningwan, so perfect that there wasn't a single flaw.
Ye Ningwan's face flushed red with embarrassment. She subconsciously leaned back, her back hitting the corner of the table, causing a slight pain. Meanwhile, Pei Fengzhi leaned over and pressed down on her. The two were extremely close, their breaths mingling, almost kissing each other.
Ye Ningwan's gaze wandered, avoiding eye contact with Pei Fengzhi. Her eyes darted around and she spotted the cake placed to the side, immediately scooping up some cream with her hand.
"This cake looks really good, it looks delicious, would you like to try some?"
