"Yes." Wang Daya took the things with a smile and turned back to the kitchen.
Yan Rushan walked over to Yuxiu and sat down. He first looked at the fruit platter and juice on the coffee table, then glanced at the empty dessert plate with some snack crumbs on it.
"I'm out now, have you eaten anything cold?"
"No." He answered so quickly that Zhong Yuxiu glanced at him subconsciously. "Really? If you don't believe me, ask Aunt Wang. You can ask her to watch me. I just had some snacks and fruit. I haven't drunk much of the juice yet, and I haven't finished the fruit either."
She didn't seem to be lying, so Yan Rushan nodded and said, "That's good. I'll have more roast duck later."
"Okay." Yuxiu chuckled and said sweetly, "Why did you buy so many roast ducks?"
"It was too late when I got there. Quanjude's roast duck was all reserved, so I went to get it from a friend." He reached out and took the fruit platter, leaned back on the sofa, and ate a piece of the cut apple first. Then he tasted a purple-black grape and frowned. "It's a bit sour."
"It's a bit sour, but it's just right for me." My taste has changed a lot after I got pregnant. I didn't like sour food before, but now I like it.
Yan Rushan put down the fruit platter, looked up towards the kitchen, and saw Wang Daya coming over with a plate.
"Comrade Zhong, Comrade Yan, the roast duck is here, please enjoy." After saying that, he put down the plate of roast duck and turned to leave.
There were two pairs of chopsticks on the plate of roast duck, and it was obvious that it was prepared for her and Yan Rushan.
Yan Rushan picked up the plate and handed it to her. Zhong Yuxiu took two pairs of chopsticks first, keeping one pair for him and saying, "You eat too. It won't taste good if I eat alone."
"You eat first." Yan Rushan put down his chopsticks and had no intention of picking up any more.
Zhong Yuxiu raised her eyes and looked at him. "What's wrong with you? Don't you like roast duck too?"
"I'm not hungry right now."
"Really?" He ate a piece doubtfully, then couldn't stop. After finishing two-thirds of the roast duck, Zhong Yuxiu realized she had eaten too much. She quickly stopped, put her chopsticks on the plate and handed it to him, "You eat the rest."
Knowing how good his appetite was, Yan Rushan didn't think she couldn't eat. "Eat it, there's more in the kitchen. I'll eat it when it's time to eat."
"You eat, I can eat some more when it's time for dinner." He didn't move at all, and she didn't feel comfortable finishing it all by herself.
"Really not eating?"
"No, no."
Yan Rushan curled the corners of his lips slightly, a faint smile silently outlined; he picked up a piece of roast duck meat and stuffed it into his mouth. The crispy texture was very delicious. He looked up at her and said, "It smells so good, the skin is so crispy and flaky."
Zhong Yuxiu swallowed her saliva.
"You really don't want to eat? I've finished eating." Yan Rushan continued to tease her.
"I want to eat." Feeling embarrassed, she covered her face and kicked him, "You did it on purpose."
Yan Rushan chuckled and let her do what she wanted. "I didn't do anything."
Feeling even more embarrassed, Zhong Yuxiu just wanted to slap herself twice on the mouth and let you down.
"Here you go." He placed the plate in front of her. Her shyness made him feel happy. "It was originally prepared for you."
Zhong Yuxiu let go of her hand and raised her eyelids to look at him.
Yan Rushan said, "Here, eat. This half plate is prepared for you. Feel free to eat it."
"Is that so?" Zhong Yuxiu reached out to take it, took it in one go, and smiled at him sheepishly, "Would you like to eat some more?"
"I don't want to eat it. Look how greedy you are." He raised his hand and gently scratched the tip of her nose, with a smile on his handsome face.
Zhong Yuxiu finished the remaining roast duck with satisfaction, returned the plate to him, and went to get the fruit platter on the coffee table. After finishing the meal, she felt her thirst was relieved. When it was her turn to drink the juice, she sipped it slowly, squinting her eyes, and looked very satisfied.
Yan Rushan was in a good mood when he saw this.
At noon, Mr. Yan returned and ate the roast duck as he wished; Zhong Yuxiu also followed and ate half of it, and the rest was eaten by them.
There were still some dishes left on the table because of the roast duck.
Gu Lingguo and Fang Guozhong felt it was a waste to throw it away, and Zhong Yuxiu didn't like to eat leftovers from the previous meal, so they ate the remaining dishes as a snack; there was enough rice at home, and they ate five bowls of rice, with the bottom of a steamer still left in the pot.
Old Master Yan had already moved to sit on the sofa, and Zhong Yuxiu and Yan Rushan also followed him to the hall to talk with the old man.
It was lunchtime, and the old man went to wash up and rest. Zhong Yuxiu and Yan Rushan also washed up and went upstairs to lie down.
"Brother Yan, have the films been sent for development?" Zhong Yuxiu yawned and felt a little sleepy, but she still managed to ask.
Yan Rushan hummed softly, his voice low and dark because he was lying down. "It has been sent. It was sent by Gu Lingguo. You can get it in two days."
"Remember to send it to them." She sometimes would deliberately forget things that she thought were not worth taking to heart, and then she would really forget them.
"Okay, send them a copy after it's developed, and we'll take the rest home and put them in an album." Yan Rushan lowered his head to look at her, kissed her forehead, and asked softly, "After you give birth, I will accompany you to walk around the Great Wall and the Forbidden City, just the two of us."
Zhong Yuxiu nodded and soon fell asleep. She didn't know what Yan Rushan said afterwards.
When she woke up, Yan Rushan was still beside her. Zhong Yuxiu glanced at him sleepily and said, "You haven't woken up yet."
"I'll be with you." Zhong Yuxiu was moved by these simple words. "Go and do what you want."
Yan Rushan shook his head and tried to comfort her gently, "The work has been handed over to Cheng Si and the others. I just need to accompany you well." Nothing else was more important to her.
"I'm thirsty and want to drink some water." He made up his mind, so be it.
"I'll bring you some juice. Do you want some fruit? Or something else?"
Zhong Yuxiu shook her head, "I want a glass of juice."
"Okay, lie down for a while." Yan Rushan put on his clothes and went downstairs. After a while, he came back with a glass of grape juice in his hand. "Here, drink it, it's time to get up."
"Help me." He stretched out his hand lazily.
Yan Rushan held a water cup in one hand and with his free hand, half-carried and half-lifted her from the bed. He helped her drink some juice and laid her down on the bed. He put down the empty water cup and looked at the lazy Yuxiu, whispering, "Aren't you going to get up?"
"Let me be lazy for a while."
"Okay, you can only be lazy for ten minutes. It's time for us to go for a walk outside." Yan Rushan, who always can't help but feel soft-hearted towards his wife, couldn't escape his wife's coquettishness this time.
Zhong Yuxiu pursed her lips and chuckled, then nodded in agreement. "Brother Yan, what do you think? Should we go to the Zhong family's hometown and buy a piece of land?"
"What are you going to do with it? Build a house to live in?"
"Yeah, maybe we can go there in the future."
Yan Rushan shook his head. "It's too far. We can't go there many times. We can stay in a hotel after we go."
"It's always more convenient to have our own house." Zhong Yuxiu thought long-term. "When we go out in the future, won't we have to take our three children with us? Staying in a hotel will always be inconvenient."
