Chapter 1431 - 1433

Gong Ruini looked at the table full of her favorite dishes and felt delighted.

Zhao Xuran noticed his wife’s radiant smile, knowing today’s meal was all her favorites.

Zhao Xuran didn’t care about the hygiene of picking up food, he kept serving Gong Ruini.

Normally, Gong Ruini would have remarked on the hygiene, but now, she was just focused on eating.

Gong Ruwen knew that since his sister got pregnant, her appetite was incredible.

He just hadn’t expected her appetite to be this huge.

At this moment, Gong Ruwen understood why their mom was so worried.

"Sis, slow down a bit." Gong Ruwen meant to remind her to eat carefully, as no one would take the food from her.

If possible, Gong Ruwen would say, "Sis, maybe don’t eat anymore," worrying she’d become a big fatty the way she was wolfing down the food.

Even Gong Ruini was startled by her own appetite, she couldn’t believe she could eat so much in one meal.

Gong Ruini knew she shouldn’t be eating so much, but she was just really hungry.

At first, seeing Gong Ruini gobbling down food made Zhao Xuran happy, and he kept serving her more of her favorite dishes.

But then he was shocked by her eating style, "Ni Zi, maybe we should stop here today?"

It wasn’t about saving money, but was it really okay for his wife to eat so much?

Gong Ruwen had been wanting to speak up, worried Zhao Xuran might disagree. But hearing Zhao Xuran say it, he quickly followed, "Yeah, maybe stop eating."

"If you like it, we can eat out again tomorrow." It was rare for his wife to enjoy a meal so freely; they shouldn’t make her retreat back.

Gong Ruini was a bit reluctant since there was still a lot of food, but thinking about how much she just ate, it was indeed a bit scary if she continued.

Despite how angry Gong Ruini was with Cai Meina’s previous words, to say she wasn’t affected at all would be lying.

"Go out to eat again tomorrow?" Gong Ruini and Gong Ruwen spoke out simultaneously.

The former was all smiles, while the latter’s expression wasn’t so great.

"Really." Zhao Xuran didn’t care about Gong Ruwen’s displeased look.

Anyway, his next question was even more ruthless, "When are you planning to leave?"

"You came to check on Ni Zi’s health, now you’ve seen it." Zhao Xuran bluntly suggested Gong Ruwen and the others leave.

Zhao Xuran couldn’t guarantee what might happen if they stayed any longer.

If it were just some oversight, Zhao Xuran could endure it since it was for their good, but their interference was really excessive now.

Gong Ruini was taken aback hearing her husband’s words, looking at Zhao Xuran in disbelief.

Though feeling a bit guilty towards parents and Gong Ruwen, if she had to choose, Gong Ruini would definitely choose to let them go.

These days, the pressure was immense; every bite was monitored, even though she’s a pregnant woman.

How could they call her fat in front of a pregnant woman, seriously, which pregnant woman isn’t a little chubby?

It seemed like Zhao Xuran was really pushed to his limits, otherwise he wouldn’t have spoken up even if he was frowning before.

Gong Ruzhi was thrilled to hear Zhao Xuran finally asking that question.

Lately, Gong Ruzhi knew his sister’s family wasn’t having an easy time, but was he having it good either?

In fact, he was having a miserable time; he couldn’t play on the computer freely, as mom would frown and ask about homework if she caught him playing.

Finally, when the parents went downstairs to sleep, he could code happily, but then big brother would watch over him and rush him to bed as soon as it was time.

There was an attempt to sneak onto the computer late at night, but he got caught by big brother, and then the computer was taken into their room at night.

With the parents gone, not saying he could stay up all night, at least no one would constantly ask about his school grades.

"I do want to leave, but you know some things aren’t resolved." Gong Ruwen sighed helplessly, he wanted to leave too.

Watching Gong Ruini display endless public affection, Gong Ruwen was unsure about Gong Ruzhi’s thoughts, but he, with a girlfriend, was really struggling to keep calm.

He wasn’t without a girlfriend, so why stay here watching all this PDA from Gong Ruini?

But it wasn’t easy to leave, at least they needed to resolve the messy matters first.

Still unresolved matters? Gong Ruini was quite surprised; hadn’t everything necessary been asked and investigated, just waiting to go back home and start things?

Why was there still talk of unresolved matters, Gong Ruini felt truly confused, wondering if there were any major unresolved issues.

Gong Ruini kept assuring herself she hoped it wasn’t something major, otherwise, how long would it take to slowly investigate and solve it before they could retreat?

No matter what needed handling domestically, the plan was for Gong Tao to fly back first, while Gong Ruwen and Cai Meina remained.

It was fine if big brother stayed, but not mom, otherwise, Gong Ruini felt she’d be more than just a typical pregnant woman tragedy.

"Don’t worry, such things won’t happen again." Zhao Xuran promised with a frown.

If Gong Ruzhi hadn’t found out, Zhao Xuran wouldn’t have known such an issue was related to him.

"Just because you say it won’t happen doesn’t mean it won’t." Gong Ruwen wasn’t convinced, even though it sounded like the fault of the other party spreading false information.

But if someone hadn’t emitted unnecessary male hormones, why would there even be such behavior?

More importantly, they found out in time and quickly resolved it, but would they always be so lucky next time?

"Heard that brother-in-law is quite popular among girls at school." Gong Ruwen, in a moment of impulse, forgot that they’d previously agreed not to let Gong Ruini know.

Gong Ruini was full and didn’t want to think too hard; it was exhausting, okay?

But why did her brother’s words sound so off this time, as if they were tinged with jealousy?

"Brother, what’s wrong? Did you see someone confessing to Xuran?" She hadn’t seen this in the United States, but it had happened at university.

Of course, that was just Gong Ruzhi’s imagination, yet Zhao Xuran was really popular domestically, otherwise, no one would’ve disapproved of Gong Ruini so much back then.

Zhao Xuran was displeased, they had agreed only a few of them would know about it, no need for Gong Ruini to know.

Not expecting Gong Ruwen to spill the beans regardless, Zhao Xuran wasn’t worried about his wife getting angry.

He was worried that his wife might become eager with curiosity about this or that upon hearing it; see, her eyes had already changed at this point.

Gong Ruwen wasn’t surprised by Gong Ruini’s question, he had thought it through and felt she needed to know.

Though Gong Ruzhi was still in the United States promising to watch over, Gong Ruwen didn’t trust it.

If the kid could really keep watch, then the previous incidents wouldn’t have happened.

No matter how many people help to watch, having your own guard up is more effective.

But why was Gong Ruini’s reaction so different from what he had imagined?
