Chapter 549 - 548: Mass Release 28

Chapter 549: Chapter 548: Mass Release 28

Feeling better, Xu Niannian felt her body overflowing with energy, and she approached everything with high spirits and vigor.

The baby was already six and a half months along, and if it was going to be a nine-month pregnancy, she still had three months to go until the delivery.

It was only after she got pregnant that Xu Niannian realized pregnancy wasn’t actually ten months—it was closer to nine.

She had always heard about pregnancy lasting ten months, so she thought it really took a full ten months before giving birth.

After hanging around the shop for a while, a regular came in to pay the bill. This wasn’t just anyone; it was Zhao Zhigang, the young director from Gang City.

He had given Xu Niannian his phone number, but she had never called.

The main reason was that Zhao Zhigang never mentioned what he did for a living.

Seeing Xu Niannian, Zhao Zhigang showed a moment of surprise and politely said, "Long time no see."

Xu Niannian: "...Long time no see."

Um, were they that close?

They’d only met once before, so why did he sound so familiar, like he was an old friend?

Internally criticizing, Xu Niannian kept a pleasant smile on the outside.

Then she saw Zhao Zhigang glance at her belly and oddly comment, "You must be due soon, right?"

"Um... still over three months to go," Xu Niannian replied, even though she wasn’t close to him. Since the guest had already initiated the conversation, Xu Niannian couldn’t just give him the cold shoulder.

Zhao Zhigang seemed very surprised, then smiled warmly, "Are you expecting twins?"

Xu Niannian: "..."

It seemed everyone thought her six-and-a-half-month belly was unusually large.

As if she was eight or nine months along.

She smiled and nodded, "Yes, twins."

Zhao Zhigang paid and then left, but before he did, he asked, "Do you have any interest in movies?"

Xu Niannian blinked, not even considering the possibility that he might be a director and thinking he was inviting her out to watch a movie. She pointed to her belly and said, "They’re not interested."

What she meant was, I have babies now, it’s not appropriate for me to go to the movies with a single man.

Zhao Zhigang clearly froze for a moment, then seemed to realize something and suddenly chuckled, "I think we will have an opportunity to collaborate."

With that, he left.

Xu Niannian was bewildered, couldn’t help but look up at the sky, hand supporting her belly.

Do people nowadays all like to speak in riddles?

Or had she truly become dumber after getting pregnant?

She didn’t understand, didn’t understand at all.

Forget it, it’s too brain-racking to think about these things. Instead of wasting time on this, she might as well focus on how to make money to support the child.

Xiaochun mentioned that many customers at the shop were asking when her restaurant would open, and Xu Niannian felt the need to expand her culinary research.

To bring new dishes to the shop for customers to try, keeping their appetites hooked all the time.

But she wouldn’t use the same dish to do so.

She wasn’t worried in the slightest that customers would forget the taste of Liurong Bao.

After all, with food, once you’ve tasted it, even if several years pass without eating it again, the flavor is not easily forgotten.

If anything, the longer you go without it, the more you crave it.

Just like how she always longed for the food from her hometown.

Unfortunately, she couldn’t go back and could only make it herself.

After touring around the shop, Xu Niannian went back home.

Before heading home, she stopped at the market to buy some vegetables, planning to whip up a delicious meal as a treat for herself and her family.

She had been home for over half a month, and with her pregnancy progressing, her family was reluctant to let her work, keeping her away from any chores.

But she could tell that whether it was the old master or Jin Yu and her other younger siblings, they were all missing the food she cooked.

Every time they watched her eat, they looked like they had so much they wanted to say but held back.

Especially the old master—the most obvious. According to Nanny Zhao, the Butter Sauce that she had made for the old master had run out half a month ago.

The old master missed it constantly.

The Butter Sauce Xu Niannian made with Space Creek Water was not a concern for the old master’s health, even if he ate a lot of it.

In fact, it only made him healthier.

And so, the old master had grown even more fond of it.

Out of stock these past few days, the old master during meals would act like a child, poking his bowl with chopsticks, sighing for a while, poking again, and sighing again.

A few days ago, Jin Nanxi and Ye Qin joked behind his back, saying the older the old master gets, the more childlike he becomes.

Xu Niannian bought perch and some other small items.

Although it was a bit difficult with her pregnant belly, doing it once in a while was still manageable.

After a major shopping spree at the market, Hu Yue, the so-called bodyguard, turned into a porter, carrying everything for her.

There was also a flapping chicken, sending feathers flying; some even landed on Hu Yue’s hair, prompting him to scold the bird in all seriousness, "Be solemn."

Chicken: "..."

Xu Niannian: "Pfft."

Maybe it was her assertive aura, but after kicking up a fuss for a bit, the chicken quieted down and tucked in its wings, as still as a dead bird.

Xu Niannian was stunned by this scene.

So this was a strategy that worked.

This chicken could probably win an Oscar for Best Chicken Actor in the future.

Hu Yue was quite pleased with the chicken’s sudden compliance, finding it to be a good, sensible chicken.
