Chapter 963: 141 Having children is a nuisance!

Lin Yuan slowly opened her eyes, only to see the handsome face of someone close to hers in the dimly lit room.

"Hey, what are you doing? You scared me." Once she recognized that it was Xia Zheng, Lin Yuan rubbed her chest and couldn’t help but laugh and scold.

"Shush!" Xia Zheng quickly covered Lin Yuan’s mouth and signaled her to keep quiet, glancing at Lady Liu’s room to make sure no one had heard before releasing her and whispering, "Don’t talk, I sneaked in. Mother said you need to rest quietly and forbade anyone from visiting you, even Xiao Linshuang has been called to sleep in mother’s room."

"Oh." It was only then that Lin Yuan noticed it was already dark, and Xiao Linshuang was not by her side, "Is it already night?"

She hadn’t expected to sleep such a large part of the day away. Lin Yuan moved her body, which felt somewhat weary from sleep, and it was then that she suddenly realized that her period had indeed started.

It seemed Lao Fan’s medicine was really effective.

Fearing staining her clothes, Lin Yuan didn’t dare to move at all.

Noticing her stiff movements, Xia Zheng asked with concern, "What’s wrong, does it still hurt?"

Lin Yuan shook her head, indicating she was fine, and peered at the jar on the small table in the moonlight, which was emitting a tempting aroma, "What’s that?"

Xia Zheng chuckled mischievously and said in a low voice, "Seeing that you were in so much pain today that you didn’t eat, I made you some chicken soup."

"You made it?" Lin Yuan widened her eyes in surprise.

Xia Zheng, unimpressed by her astonishment, tiptoed to pour her a bowl of chicken soup and handed it to her, "Keep your voice down, if mother finds out I snuck in to see you, she’ll definitely scold me out! Drink it quickly, I heard mother say that it’s important to nourish your body at this time, so I had Lin Yi buy several chickens."

The purchase of the chickens was not the important part, what was truly astonishing was that Xia Zheng had made the soup himself—he had actually cooked?

Taking the bowl of chicken soup, Lin Yuan couldn’t resist smelling it. Although it wasn’t as good as her own cooking, the flavor was still reasonably good. After taking a sip, she smacked her lips and couldn’t help but praise, "It tastes good, did you really make it? Are you sure you didn’t just have Lin Yi bring it back from Fuman Building?"

Lin Yuan cocked her head and looked at Xia Zheng with a teasing, almost laughing gaze.

"Of course, I made it." At that, Xia Zheng’s voice involuntarily rose a few notches, and he quickly covered his mouth, speaking even more quietly, "You were asleep the whole time, so I had Lin Yi go to the kitchen and ask exactly how to make this chicken soup. Hehe, how is it? Isn’t it especially delicious? I guarantee you’ll want seconds after having it once."

Lin Yuan pursed her lips and smiled, generously complimenting, "Yes, it’s indeed quite good."

"Just quite good?" Xia Zheng raised an eyebrow, "I thought you’d be so happy that you’d cry your eyes out and be moved to offer yourself in gratitude!"

Lin Yuan took another sip of the soup, struggling not to let herself burst out laughing. Cry her eyes out and offer herself in gratitude, did she look like the kind of young girl who would be foolish for love?

"Drink it quickly and don’t talk, mother said you can’t eat anything cold, or you’ll get stomach pains again."

With Xia Zheng’s urging, Lin Yuan smiled and quickly finished the chicken soup while it was still warm. Indeed, she hadn’t had much to eat the whole day and was truly hungry.

After draining the bowl, Lin Yuan wiped her mouth and pushed the bowl towards Xia Zheng, "Servant, another bowl, please."

Xia Zheng chuckled, swiftly serving her another bowl and not forgetting to boast about himself conceitedly, "I knew it, with my smarts, how could I not make a good chicken soup? Hehe, if you like it, I’ll make it for you again next time—chicken soup, duck soup, beef soup, mutton soup. Oh right, when Lin Yi went to buy the chickens this afternoon, guess what he saw?"

Lin Yuan swallowed a mouthful of soup, blinking curiously, "What?"

Xia Zheng laughed out loud, his eyes gleaming with mischief, "He saw Lao Fan feeding the horses in the backyard. He was mumbling to himself while doing it, saying something like ’Your urine isn’t that great, but you sure are tasty to eat.’ He also said something like ’I’ll feed you better so that next time you don’t urinate anything too stinky.’ Hehe, what’s gotten into him, suddenly wanting to cozy up to the horses?"

Lin Yuan could no longer hold back her laughter at this, almost unable to keep hold of her bowl. She laughed for a long while before managing to control her voice with Xia Zheng’s repeated urging and told him about today’s pulse diagnosis. At the end, she added, "Of course, I didn’t really put horse urine in it; I was just teasing him, but I didn’t expect him to take it seriously."
