Chapter 194 Fetal Movement
That afternoon, Dongfang Yuning woke up and suddenly missed the spicy and fragrant hot pot base and crispy tripe from Fuxing Hot Pot Restaurant.
She tugged at Nangong Ye's sleeve, her eyes wet, like a kitten begging for food:
"Husband~ Ning'er wants to eat hot pot~ Let's go to a restaurant~ The kind that's lively~"
Eat at home?
no!
There is no such atmosphere!
Nangong Ye's brows instantly twisted into knots.
Going to a hot pot restaurant?
There were so many people talking and the smoke was thick, if there was a collision...
"Ning'er, we can make it in the mansion. My husband, can you ask them to bring the pot to the room?"
He tried to negotiate.
"No~"
Dongfang Yuning pouted and started to act like a spoiled child.
"I want to go to the store! I want to feel the hustle and bustle of the crowd! Husband~ Ning'er hasn't gone out to play for a long time~"
She shook his arm in grievance.
"If you keep being depressed, Ning'er and the baby will get depressed!"
System 118:
[The host's acting is off the charts! The 'pregnant woman's depression' warning has been issued! The prince can't handle it anymore!]
Dongfang Yuning was very proud:
[That's right! I've won the 'Lucky Star Theater Lifetime Achievement Award'!]
Nangong Ye looked at her pitiful little appearance, and when he heard the word "depression", his heart suddenly tightened.
What he feared most was that Ning'er would be unhappy. After much hesitation, he finally gave in.
"Okay, go."
He sighed helplessly and compromised.
"But you must follow your husband's arrangements."
"Yeah! Ning'er is the most obedient!"
Dongfang Yuning's mood suddenly turned from gloomy to cheerful, and she smiled like a sunflower.
So, half an hour later, Fuxing Hotpot Restaurant welcomed the quietest wave of customers since its opening.
When the prince and princess arrive, the place is naturally cleared with the highest standards.
The secret guards took control of the entire hot pot restaurant and the surrounding streets a stick of incense in advance.
All outsiders in the store (including other customers) were "politely" asked to leave and received a coupon for "50% off next purchase" as compensation.
The kitchen and waiters have been strictly checked to ensure absolute safety.
Nangong Ye held Dongfang Yuning in his arms and went straight to the best private room on the third floor.
The view here is wide, the environment is elegant, the sound insulation is excellent, and it has been carefully inspected countless times, even the window cracks have not been spared.
In the center of the private room, a specially made oil-free simmering hot pot was bubbling with steam.
On one side is the milky white bone soup, and on the other side is the spicy hot pot with boiling red oil and fragrant aroma.
The long tables around were filled with slices of meat as thin as cicada wings, juicy vegetables, various hand-made meatballs, and the fresh tripe that Dongfang Yuning had been craving.
"Wow!"
Dongfang Yuning was carefully placed by Nangong Ye on a specially made wide chair with thick cushions. Looking at the table full of ingredients, his eyes were shining.
Nangong Ye had no interest in delicious food.
He first tested the stability of the chair, then adjusted the cushions behind her to make sure she was comfortable.
Then he picked up the silver chopsticks and personally boiled the food for her.
"Tripe, it's all up and down. It's done. Ning'er, try it."
He carefully prepared a piece of tripe, dipped it in her favorite sauce, and brought it to her mouth.
"The shrimp is ready, be careful with the heat."
"The lamb slices are very tender."
He served her attentively, but he hardly touched his chopsticks. All his attention was focused on Dongfang Yuning, and he kept observing her expression, fearing that she would feel uncomfortable.
Dongfang Yuning ate with such relish!
The stimulation of the spicy hot pot caused beads of sweat to appear on the tip of her nose. Her little face was flushed from eating and she squinted her eyes in satisfaction.
System 118: [Ouch! So refreshing! This is the taste! Host, spicy hotpot YYDS! Points +1 (Exchange for pleasure points)!]
Dongfang Yu was so spicy that he hissed but couldn't stop breathing:
[So delicious! 118, I feel like the pups are cheering too! Wait... they seem to be moving a little more happily?]
Sure enough, the little guys in my belly seemed to be activated by this delicious food and started punching and kicking to express their excitement.
"Ouch!"
Dongfang Yuning cried out softly and covered his stomach.
Nangong Ye instantly felt like he was facing a formidable enemy! His face turned pale, and his chopsticks fell to the table with a "clack".
"What's wrong, Ning'er?! Are you feeling unwell? Do you have a stomachache? Or is it because of the spicy food? Have some bone soup to calm you down!"
He was frantically serving the soup, his voice trembling.
Dongfang Yuning looked at his nervous expression, feeling sweet and funny in her heart, and quickly grabbed his hand:
"Don't panic, my dear husband. It's okay! It's the babies. They seem to like hot pot too. They're kicking me in there! They're kicking me so hard!"
She took Nangong Ye's hand and gently pressed it on her bulging belly.
Nangong Ye's hand trembled slightly, and he could clearly feel the powerful fetal movement under his palm.
Those were two vibrant little lives, his and Ning'er's flesh and blood.
A strange feeling surged in my heart, a mixture of the joy of becoming a father for the first time and the worry that still could not be dispelled.
His palm caressed very gently, his voice low and gentle:
"Be good and don't bother your mother."
I don’t know if his words had any effect, but the noise inside really died down.
Nangong Ye breathed a sigh of relief, only to find that he had a layer of cold sweat on his back.
He picked up the chopsticks again and continued feeding, but the tension in his eyes had not completely faded.
In order to ease the atmosphere, Dongfang Yuning began to chatter to him about the benefits of hot pot, how to eat various ingredients, and even talked about the interesting things about eating hot pot in the past. Of course, in her words, it became "what I heard when traveling abroad."
Nangong Ye listened quietly, his eyes gently falling on her lively little face.
As long as she is happy and safe, everything is fine.
Just as the hot pot feast was drawing to a close, Dongfang Yuning was touching his round belly and contentedly drinking the spiritual spring water that helped him digest his food, when suddenly there was a slight commotion outside the private room, as if there were the sounds of women crying and arguing.
Dongfang Yuning’s “melon-eating radar” instantly started beeping!
[118! Quick! What's going on outside?!]
[Ding! Here comes the melon! Simple scan: A pair of mandarin ducks sneaked into the private room next door, seemingly for a secret meeting, but were caught red-handed by the woman's fiancé and his men! A 'caught in the act' drama unfolding! Points +20!]
118 The report was concise and to the point.
[Caught in the act?!]
Dongfang Yuning's eyes widened.
[So exciting?! Quick! Record the video! This is all material!]
She was so excited that she almost stood up and peeked at the door.
Nangong Ye’s brows immediately furrowed.
He also heard the noise outside. What bad luck!
It actually disturbed Ning'er's meal!
He was just about to order the secret guards to "clean up" it, but he saw that the eyes of his little wife in his arms were surprisingly bright, and she looked eager to try, as if she couldn't wait to go out and administer justice (and watch the fun) herself.
He held her down helplessly:
"Sit still and don't go."
At this moment, the quarrel outside became louder and louder, and it seemed that there was a fight, which made the door of their private room clang loudly.
"ah!"
Dongfang Yuning was startled by the sudden noise.
Nangong Ye’s eyes froze instantly!
A terrifying coldness emanated from his entire body!
Disturbing Ning'er?
court death!
He stood up suddenly, and was about to explode——
[The host remains calm! The situation escalates! The fiancé, who has a bad temper, tries to hit the adulterer, but accidentally overturns the broth! The scalding hot oil spills all over the adulterer! He's screaming! The scene is in chaos!]
118 real-time report, excited tone.
Dongfang Yuning slammed the table and laughed wildly in his mind:
[Hahahaha! Karma! Serves him right! He cheated on me! Now he's truly an adulterer! What a waste of that pot of red oil...]
Her thoughts were flooding the screen like crazy, and she didn't notice that Nangong Ye, who was holding her, stiffened almost imperceptibly for a moment.
Oil-splashing adulterer?
Ning'er...is that what you think?
This wording... is fresh and appropriate.
Also, the voice in her head (118) seemed to be reporting something.
Although I couldn't hear the specific content, that unique, excited tone...
A hint of doubt flashed across Nangong Ye's deep eyes, but it was quickly replaced by anger at the noise outside.
No matter what little secrets Ning'er has, the most important thing now is to solve the trouble outside and not let these dirty things pollute Ning'er's ears and eyes!
He gently put Dongfang Yuning back on the chair and said softly:
"Ning'er, please sit down for a moment. Your husband will be back soon."
After saying that, he turned around, his face instantly becoming so gloomy that water could drip out of it.
The moment the door of the private room was opened, the icy cold eyes and powerful pressure made the people who were jumping around outside the door freeze instantly, like chickens with their necks strangled!
"Drag him out."
Nangong Ye's voice was not loud, but it was filled with chilling murderous intent.
"Anyone who disturbs the princess will be severely beaten with fifty sticks and thrown out of Yanmao Port, and will never be allowed to set foot in it again!"
The secret guards appeared like ghosts and efficiently gagged those people, including the adulterer who was screaming in pain from being scalded, and quickly dragged them away to clean up the scene.
The whole process was quiet and quick, as if nothing had happened.
Nangong Ye closed the door again, isolating himself from everything outside.
When he turned around, his face returned to the gentleness he had shown when facing Dongfang Yuning:
"It's okay, Ning'er, shall we go home?"
Dongfang Yuning was still a little unsatisfied, but seeing her husband's unquestionable eyes, she could only nod obediently:
"Well, go home."
[Alas, I didn't eat all the melons... But the 'oil-splashing adulterer' scene is a famous one! It was worth it!]
She thought happily in her heart.
Nangong Ye listened to her regretful yet satisfied voice, and a helpless smile flashed in his eyes.
His Ning'er...what a little funny guy.
He carefully picked her up again, holding her firmly in his arms, walked down the stairs step by step, and started on the road home.
As for what happened to those who were dragged away?
Who cares.
It was the greatest mercy of His Royal Highness Prince Yong that he did not chop Ning'er, who had disturbed him, into pieces on the spot.
Dongfang Yuning, leaning on her husband's warm chest, listening to his steady and strong heartbeat, and touching the baby in her belly who occasionally moved mischievously, felt that life was perfect.
[Ding! This trip to the hot pot restaurant has earned you +10086 food satisfaction points, +20 gourmet points, and +MAX Prince's favor points!]
Overall rating: SSS! Host, where should we go to eat next time... ah no, where should we go to eat melons?]
118Summarize in a timely manner.
Dongfang Yuning (sighing with satisfaction):
[Wherever there's a big melon, there's my lucky star princess! Let's go!]
