Chapter 943: Finale (15)
Sometimes, death may not necessarily be a tragedy.
Perhaps, this ending was the best ending for some people.
The couple held each other in the silence of the ward.
Knock, knock!
There was someone at the door.
Mu Xichen asked, “Who is it?”
“Mr. Mu, I’m Will.” A slightly croaky voice was heard through the door. He asked, “Is Miss Beinian resting?”
“No, come in.” Mu Xichen wiped Li Beinian’s tears.
Li Beinian pouted and said, “I’m hungry.”
“What would you like to eat?”
“I want to go home.” Li Beinian sulked as Will and Nico walked in.
Besides the two of them, there was also Gu Mingye and another person that Li Beinian had never seen before.
Nico’s heart ached when he saw Li Beinian’s tear-stained face.
He walked towards her, asking, “Beinian, are you feeling unwell? Tell Daddy.”
Li Beinian shook her head and threw a little tantrum, saying coquettishly, “I want to go home.”
“Alright, we’ll go home. We’ll go home.” Nico nodded indulgently and looked at Mu Xichen. “What did the doctor say?”
“She needs some quiet rest, but may be discharged.”
Nico sighed in relief. “Then let’s go home!”
With that, no one delayed any further.
When they got into the car, Nico asked her, “Daddy’s got a few chefs traveling with me this time. They’re really awesome and know how to cook many different types of cuisine. I heard that you’ve taken a fancy to Thai food recently. Daddy found you a Thai chef. Shall we try his culinary skills later?”
Li Beinian sat back in the car seat with her arms around Nico’s and said, “Okay.”
Hence, Will immediately got the kitchen staff to start preparing food.
However, by the time they got home, Li Beinian suddenly didn’t feel like eating anymore.
She looked at the table full of sweet and sour dishes and wrinkled her nose in disgust, saying, “I don’t want to eat these.”
Nico responded with an “ah” and asked patiently, “What do you feel like eating then? We’ll get them to prepare.”
Li Beinian had no idea. She crinkled up her nose and said, “I just don’t feel like eating these. The smell makes me want to puke.”
Will immediately instructed, “Clear the table!”
The servants immediately started moving. In less than a minute, the table was cleared.
Mu Xichen was talking to Gu Mingye and Dylan. Sensing that something was wrong with Li Beinian, he stepped forward and said, “Daddy, let me take her out to eat.”
Nico was a little displeased. “It’s normal for pregnant women to be emotional. Do you know what she wants to eat, since you’re taking her to dinner?”
Even Li Beinian didn’t know what she wanted to eat, so how could Mu Xichen know?
Hearing this, Mu Xichen turned to Li Beinian and asked, “Would you like something sweet?”
“Sweet?”
“Pudding.”
“No.”
“Strawberry-flavored pudding.”
“Strawberry!”
“No, we have to eat strawberry pudding. The doctor said you can’t have just strawberries.”
“When did the doctor say that?”
“This afternoon, when you were sleeping,” Mu Xichen said faintly. It was hard to tell if it was true. “If you won’t eat pudding, then you can’t have any strawberries.”
Nico didn’t like what he was hearing.
What sort of sense did that make?
Wasn’t this man simply bullying his daughter?
However, Nico was soon proven wrong.
After eating two puddings, Li Beinian finally decided that she didn’t want strawberries after all. She called out, “I’ll have another pudding!”
Mu Xichen held back his laughter and said seriously, “No, it’s meal time. You may choose between noodles or rice.”
“Noodles!” Li Beinian thought for a moment. “I feel like having sour and spicy noodles with extra vinegar.”
“Sure, wait for a moment,” Mu Xichen said as he started to roll up his sleeves. “I’ll cook for you.”
