Chapter 296 Su Qingge has been craving sour foods lately
The Rolls-Royce convoy smoothly traversed the night sky of Beijing, finally coming to a slow stop in front of the Lin family's luxurious private residence.
Lin Zhou practically carried and supported Su Qingge as she entered the restaurant.
To welcome them back from their honeymoon, Old Chen specially instructed the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous welcome-back feast.
The table was laden with top-quality seafood flown in from all over the world, including blue lobsters, succulent mantis shrimp, and exquisite sashimi that gleamed with an enticing sheen.
however.
Su Qingge looked at the table of her favorite "delicious" dishes, but her brows furrowed in disdain.
She felt the faint fishy smell provocatively stimulating her nostrils, and the churning sensation in her stomach surged violently once more.
"Take it away, take it away now."
Su Qingge leaned back in her chair, feeling exhausted. Her slender fingertips pressed tightly against the tip of her nose, her voice filled with obvious grievance.
Upon seeing this, Lin Zhou's heart skipped a beat; this extreme reaction was exactly like the "early pregnancy" described in textbooks.
"Old Chen! Is this seafood not fresh?"
Lin Zhou's eyes widened, his tone filled with an unreasonable domineering arrogance born of extreme tension.
Old Chen was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and bent over deeply.
"Young Master, these just arrived an hour ago, they're absolutely top quality..."
Before Old Chen could finish explaining, Su Qingge's gaze suddenly fixed on the few unripe green tangerines in the fruit plate, their peels still showing a raw, emerald green color.
She reached out eagerly, grabbed one, and deftly peeled it open with her fingernails.
A spicy and sour fruit peel smell spread in the air, and those around felt a sharp, tingling sensation in their teeth.
Su Qingge, however, seemed to have obtained some rare treasure.
She casually broke off a piece and put it in her mouth without even frowning, instead revealing the most enjoyable and satisfied expression she had shown in days.
"These oranges are good, do you have any more?"
As Su Qingge ate, she licked her lips playfully.
This scene plunged the previously noisy restaurant into a deathly silence that lasted for ten seconds.
The whole family seemed to be frozen in place, dozens of eyes fixed on the plate of unripe green oranges.
Lin Zhou swallowed hard, feeling like his throat was on fire, and his heart was pounding wildly.
"Qingge, I just tried one of these oranges, and it was so sour it almost made my soul leave my body. You...you really think it's delicious?"
Su Qingge popped another piece into her mouth, speaking as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
"It's just right. I think it's quite sweet. Those seafood smells really too cloying."
It's confirmed.
This is absolutely confirmed!
Nuonuo then imitated Lin Zhou, resting her chubby little chin on the edge of the dining table.
She stared with her clear, large eyes as if observing some mysterious new species, intently watching Su Qingge's still flat stomach.
"Daddy, does the 'souvenir' in Mommy's tummy especially like sour things?"
Nuonuo asked earnestly, and didn't forget to reach out her little hand to try to touch the soft fabric.
"Shh—don't talk nonsense, let your mother eat slowly."
Lin Zhou was even careful with his breathing at this moment, as if even a loud sound would disturb the tiny life that might be developing.
Old Chen was practically about to explode on the spot.
This usually composed butler, who could remain calm even amidst gunfire, was now wringing his hands in a flustered manner.
He paced back and forth in the restaurant, muttering rapidly to himself:
"Quick! Go and cover all the corners and edges of the house with safety strips!"
"Contact the top three postpartum care centers globally! No, get them to bring their best teams to Beijing!"
"Also, look up the best postpartum recovery programs available recently; they have to be the absolute top-of-the-line!"
Old Chen's nervousness instantly infected the entire mansion; the servants all consciously slowed their pace and even restrained their breathing.
Looking at this scene, Lin Zhou felt both expectant and apprehensive.
He took Su Qingge's hand and felt that her palms were slightly sweaty.
"Qingge, let's stop guessing here. Before we go to the hospital, let's confirm it ourselves, okay?"
Su Qingge's heart was actually pounding the whole time.
I had experienced this once before, but that time was seven years ago in a dark and lonely place.
This time, however, she was standing next to the man who could tear the whole world apart for her.
"Uncle Chen, go to that drawer in the study and bring me the red box that we just bought at the airport."
Su Qingge's voice trembled slightly, a result of a mixture of extreme excitement and unease.
Old Chen deftly handed over the unopened box, his eyes filled with the kind and anxious expectation of an elder looking at a younger generation.
Su Qingge took the box, gave Lin Zhou a deep look, and then slowly stood up, supporting herself on the back of the chair.
"I'm going to the restroom."
The restaurant fell into that eerie silence once again.
Lin Zhou stared intently at the tightly closed bathroom door, feeling as if every second was cruelly stretched into an eternity.
He frantically begged and pleaded in his heart.
Even though he is usually an atheist, at this moment he wished he could worship all kinds of gods.
"Old Chen, what should I do to comfort her if she doesn't get the prize?"
Lin Zhou asked somewhat uncertainly.
Old Chen straightened his chest firmly, his tone carrying a fanatical superstition.
"Young master, judging by Madam's craving for sour things, this old servant swears on my entire retirement savings that she's absolutely right!"
Nuonuo sat to the side, obediently swinging her little feet.
"If it's a little brother, I'll take him to fight monsters. If it's a little sister, I'll give her all my little dresses."
Just as the whole family was frantically imagining their future plans.
"Click".
A soft, yet jarring, click of a door lock echoed through the silence.
The bathroom door, which had been tightly closed, was slowly pushed open.
Su Qingge stood at the doorway, the light shining on her face, making her expression appear complex and unfathomable.
She was clutching a thin, plastic-looking stick tightly in her hand.
Lin Zhou suddenly stood up, and the solid wood chair behind him made a screeching sound due to the sudden movement.
He rushed forward eagerly, but stopped abruptly a meter away from Su Qingge.
The intense longing and trepidation that arose from the desire to return home caused this killing god of the Lin family to tremble somewhat in a disheveled manner at this moment.
"Qingge...how is it?"
Lin Zhou's voice was hoarse beyond belief as he stared intently at Su Qingge's cool yet slightly flushed face.
Su Qingge remained silent.
She simply extended her right hand slowly and placed the small stick flat in her palm.
Under that bright, cool white light.
Two bright red, eye-catching, and clearly defined bars lay side by side, proclaiming a certain domineering presence to the world.
Su Qingge raised her head, her peach blossom eyes already filled with glistening tears.
She looked at Lin Zhou, a gentle, radiant smile curving her lips.
"Lin Zhou, congratulations."
"Your 'souvenir' seems to really love the Maldivian sunshine."
After a 0.1 second of silence, the restaurant was completely silent.
"boom!"
The frenzied cheers almost lifted the roof off.
Lin Zhou let out a wild laugh, then violently picked up Su Qingge and spun her around several times.
"I'm going to have a son! Or a daughter! Hahahaha!"
"Lin Zhou! Slow down! Don't startle him!"
Su Qingge laughed and playfully punched his chest, her eyes filled with ultimate happiness.
In this chaotic yet heartwarming moment.
Old Chen had already deftly picked up the phone.
"Feed? Is this Beijing's First Hospital? Seal off the VIP ward on the top floor, immediately!"
The honeymoon is over.
But another magnificent game for the Lin family, concerning the new life, has only just begun.
Lin Zhou put Su Qingge down and gave her a domineering kiss.
"Honey, starting tomorrow, all you need to do is eat oranges."
"Leave the rest to me."
