Chapter 306: 306: She refuses to eat the food he brought for her_1
It turned out it had been a nightmare.
Jian Yufei lifted her hand to rub her forehead, calming her emotions and coldly asked him, “Why are you here?”
“I came to see my child!” Ruan Tianling tidied his clothes, towering over her and said, “What nightmare did you have? Why were you screaming ‘let me go, I don’t want this’?”
“I forgot.” She said tranquilly, looking somewhat worn out.
Ruan Tianling knew she was lying, but if she didn’t want to talk, he couldn’t force her to spill it out. Besides, it was just a nightmare, he shrugged it off as commonplace, nothing suspicious there.
“Aunt Li said you haven’t eaten dinner. Get up now and eat, don’t starve my child.”
Jian Yufei looked up at him. There was only one lamp switched on in the room. Its light was dim and murky. Ruan Tianling’s eyes were hidden in the shadows, she couldn’t figure out his thoughts.
“I don’t want to eat, please leave now, I want to rest. Also, don’t come in without my permission in the future. If you can’t manage this, then I will move out immediately.”
Ruan Tianling suddenly regretted his actions, feeling as though he had deliberately come here just to be provoked.
This woman was so very infuriating, if she wasn’t carrying his child, he wouldn’t tolerate her arrogance.
“Get up and eat. If anything happens to the child, see how I deal with you!” He said coldly, then abruptly turned around, pulled open the door and headed out to instruct Aunt Li to bring something to eat to Jian Yufei.
Soon, Aunt Li came in with a steaming bowl of dumplings, followed by Ruan Tianling.
First, Aunt Li placed the dumplings to the side, fetched a small table and placed it on the bed, then placed the dumplings on the table.
“Miss Jian, these are dumplings that Young Master specially brought back from Royal Meal. I just cooked them, they’re fresh. It’s really yummy, you should try.”
In the blue-and-white porcelain bowl, there were about a dozen glistening, translucent dumplings. The dumpling skin was thin but resilient, revealing the filling inside.
The soup was made from simmered bone broth. A few pieces of green onion were sprinkled on top, it was fragrant and enticing.
Ever since Jian Yufei became pregnant, her appetite hasn’t been great, she doesn’t fancy anything.
Yet, these dumplings were somehow tempting. She was eager to eat them, especially since she had skipped dinner that night, she felt even hungrier. Her empty stomach was embarrassingly aching.
Both Aunt Li and Ruan Tianling were watching her, they clearly caught the fleeting flash of hunger in her eyes.
They assumed she would start eating soon.
However, after staring at the dumplings for a few seconds, she looked up at Aunt Li and said, “I don’t want dumplings, I want noodles. Aunt Li, could you make me some noodles?”
“Miss Jian, the dumplings are really good, you should taste them first. I’m sure you’ll like them.” Aunt Li said with a comforting smile, thinking how stubborn Miss Jian could be at times.
If you want to eat something, then just eat it. Why starve yourself? Besides, the Young Master is concerned about the child in her belly, there is no need for her to reject his concerns.
Ruan Tianling, standing aside, turned slightly pale. He knew she wouldn’t take the food he had brought her so easily.
“I don’t want dumplings. Never mind, I’ll go and cook something myself.” With that, Jian Yufei moved to get up from the bed.
“If she doesn’t want to eat, fine! Take it away, go make her some noodles.”
