Chapter 258: Is it still possible to want a husband like this?

Xie Jing looked at the small courtyard. Compared with the military camp, it was just an inconspicuous little corner.

And his wife only walked around twice.

He looked down at his wife, who looked aggrieved, as if he had bullied her.

"Aning, you only walked around twice, which is the time it takes you to gnaw on two chicken legs."

Jiang Youning paused when she heard this, looking at Lingxi Courtyard, how could she remember walking three times?

"But I can't walk anymore."

Usually, her coquettishness was still useful.

Xie Jing was determined to let her walk more.

"Aning, the baby is due in a month. Just hold on. It won't hurt that much then."

Jiang Youning felt her legs go weak when she heard that. She held Xie Jing's arms tightly with both hands and put all her weight on him. Thinking about giving birth, she couldn't help but sigh, "Why is it women who give birth and not men? Pregnant women suffer more!"

Xie Jing was a little helpless when he heard that, "I also want to know why women give birth? It would be nice if I could replace you."

Xie Jing had been on the battlefield for many years and suffered countless injuries. Sometimes when medical supplies were in short supply, he asked Wen Xianyu to save the anesthetic for the soldiers, and he directly removed the arrow without anesthesia.

He could still endure the pain of giving birth.

Jiang Youning felt better after hearing that. "I'm glad you have this intention."

Xie Jing rubbed her head with his big hand. "Aning, keep walking."

Jiang Youning glanced at the big hand on her head. Why did she feel like she was being coaxed by a cat?

Accompanied by Xie Jing, Jiang Youning walked two more laps and then called for a break.

Xie Jing had no choice but to tempt her with delicious food.

"Aning, walk five more laps, and I'll ask Chuntao to make you grilled fish."

Jiang Youning's mouth was full of food when she heard about grilled fish. She hadn't eaten grilled fish for a long time. It was fine if she didn't mention it, but she wanted to eat it as soon as she mentioned it.

Grilled fish is spicy. Not to mention the third trimester, Xie Jing also controlled her from eating spicy food in the middle trimester.

She asked uncertainly, "Husband, do you keep your word?"

Xie Jing said, "Of course, when have I ever lied to you?"

Jiang Youning thought of the grilled fish, it was too delicious. If she couldn't eat it today, she would have to catch fish with Li all night tonight.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Then let's keep walking."

Xie Jing raised his lips, "Yeah."

Under Xie Jing's personal supervision, Jiang Youning gritted her teeth and walked five laps. After she finished walking, she hugged Xie Jing's waist and refused to let go, "Husband, I can't do it anymore, carry me back quickly."

Xie Jing looked at Jiang Youning hanging on him, smiled helplessly, bent down and picked her up horizontally.

The moment she was picked up, Jiang Youning's softened legs were relieved.

She hugged Xie Jing's neck tightly. Even though she was exhausted, she didn't forget to remind him, "Husband, don't forget the grilled fish. I want to eat it quickly."

Xie Jing knew she was greedy when he heard that, and still agreed very readily, "Yeah."

When he was about to go up the stairs, Xie Jing saw Chuntao not far away and ordered, "Go grill a fish, less spicy."

Jiang Youning was a little unhappy when she heard less spicy, "Husband, grilled fish needs to be spicy to taste good."

Xie Jing looked down at her and said only one sentence, "Did you forget that you were constipated last time?"

Jiang Youning was stunned when she heard that. Thinking back to the last time she was constipated, it was indeed very uncomfortable, especially when she was bulging her belly.

It was all hell on earth.

Xie Jing said again: "The wound heals and the pain is forgotten."

Jiang Youning pursed her lips, buried her face in his chest guiltily, and then said in a very low voice: "For this mouth, it is worth the hardship."

Xie Jing: "..."

Chuntao works very quickly, especially when it comes to cooking. She never lets Jiang Youning wait too long, and always serves the food on the table as quickly as possible.

Sitting on the stove, Chuntao soon brought the baking tray to the table.

Jiang Youning watched the grilled fish in the baking tray sizzling and smoking, and the aroma filled her nose. She swallowed her saliva, but why is this fish so small?

She raised her head and looked at Xie Jing, "Husband, this fish is not yet an adult, right?"

Xie Jing glanced at the fish in the baking tray. It weighed about eight taels, which was actually enough for a woman.

He looked at his wife again. With her appetite, it was a bit insufficient.

"If it can be sold, it means it can be eaten."

Jiang Youning: "..." She felt that Xie Jing was playing word games with her.

But at the moment, eating grilled fish was the most important thing.

Jiang Youning picked up the chopsticks and was about to reach in, when she saw Xie Jing holding the chopsticks and reaching into the baking tray faster than her, picking up most of the grilled fish and putting it in his own bowl. She was shocked.

"Husband, it's not good for you to do this, is it?"

Xie Jing raised his eyes and glanced at Jiang Youning, "What's wrong with it?"

Jiang Youning pouted, it was such a small fish, and you took most of it, and I just tasted it and it was gone. For

two people to eat, it must be at least three pounds, right?

She looked at Xie Jing angrily as he used chopsticks to pick out the fish bones, and seriously suspected that he deliberately chose the smallest fish, and then he ate most of it, so that she could only eat a little.

Then didn't she walk five laps in vain?

"Husband, you will bring harm to the baby if you do this."

Xie Jing seemed to be interested when he heard it, and asked, "How did I bring harm to the baby?"

Jiang Youning said sternly, "You are not trustworthy."

Xie Jing smiled and said nothing, and continued to pick out the fish bones.

Seeing his indifferent look, Jiang Youning couldn't help but complain again: "Only the governor is allowed to set fires, but the people are not allowed to light lamps."

Jiang Youning was indignant and put her chopsticks into the baking tray again. Before she could pick up the grilled fish, there was a bowl in front of her, and that bowl only had fish meat.

She looked up at Xie Jing in surprise. She had just mistakenly thought that Xie Jing was eating by himself, but she didn't expect that he was giving it to her.

Xie Jing asked: "What's wrong?"

Jiang Youning's almond eyes curved, "My husband is really too considerate."

Xie Jing chuckled: "What did you just say?"

Jiang Youning paused and said with a smile: "Next time, let's grill a big fish, three pounds. I can't eat it alone."

Jiang Youning said this while picking up the grilled fish with the bones removed and eating it with relish.

Xie Jing looked at her and shook his head helplessly.

A fish quickly went into Jiang Youning's stomach. She took the wet handkerchief handed over by Xie Jing and wiped the oil stains on the corners of her mouth with some reluctance.

It would be better if the fish was bigger.

Today, Xie Jing accompanied his wife for a walk as usual. They had walked eight laps and Xie Jing had no intention of stopping.

She couldn't help but question, "Husband, didn't you give me roasted rabbit if I walked eight laps? Don't tell me you only walked six or one laps, I counted."

The implication was, don't fool me.

She hadn't eaten roasted rabbit for a long time and was craving for it.

Xie Jing said, "You have to walk nine laps today."

Jiang Youning was a little unhappy, "Why?"

Xie Jing seriously calculated the account.

"Rabbits are bigger than fish, don't you think I should walk one more lap?"

Jiang Youning paused after hearing this, and compared fish and rabbits in her mind.

Really, after getting pregnant, my brain is a little insufficient.

"It seems to make sense."

I haven't been in a good mood these two days, and I type as slowly as a turtle. Alas!
