The King's Enchanting
Chapter 1721 - 1735: Striving to Make a Baby (8)
Yu Zexiao unexpectedly found himself being pushed from the bed onto the floor by her, his butt hurting. Watching his energetic wife run off to order books online, he was dumbfounded.
Having a baby... The most important thing is I have to do the work, hey!
----------------
Jian Anning acted quickly, saying she needed to do some proper research. The next day, she bought a pile of "Pregnancy Guide" books. Then, she skipped dinner and locked herself in the study, earnestly studying how to make babies.
Round one: Diet.
Starting from lunch the next day, the Yu Family adopted a completely different menu.
Light, low oil and salt, lots of vegetables, lots of fruits. Jian Anning, holding the "Pregnancy Guide," ran into the kitchen to instruct the housekeeper on the new cooking rules.
Okay, he understood the light diet rules, and the Yu Family could comprehend them too. These days, food needs to be healthier, and Jian Anning’s "healthy eating" didn’t overly spoil the taste, at most it refined things a bit.
But.
"Honey, what is this?" Yu Zexiao hid to one side, pinching his nose tightly. In front of him was a plate of—green leek stir-fried shrimp, emitting a strong—pungent "aroma," he instantly wrinkled his nose, feeling utterly miserable.
"Leeks!" Jian Anning explained with a grin: "Leeks boost kidney health and enhance male vitality, nourish the liver and spleen, promote circulation, and aid digestion. Best for men!"
Yu Zexiao’s face darkened instantly: "Which of the four effects you mentioned do you think I need?"
Enhance vitality, aid digestion—Is she mocking him? Yu Zexiao was displeased, especially since, with his cleanliness, the smell of leeks was enough to make him wish he were dead!
"Honey, eating more of this helps with pregnancy!"
The word "pregnancy" instantly knocked Yu Zexiao down. Fine, pregnancy, pregnancy, he gritted his teeth and pinched his nose, preparing to shovel leeks into his mouth.
When the child he has doesn’t listen, let’s see how he smacks his little butt!
However, Yu Zexiao’s "pettiness" was not to be underestimated. At dinner the next day, a large pile of vinegar-soaked garlic appeared right in Jian Anning’s bowl.
Jian Anning, much like Yu Zexiao, couldn’t stand the taste of garlic, especially vinegar-soaked garlic! As soon as she saw it, she stepped back two steps, pinching her nose tightly, unwilling to breathe: "Where did this come from?"
"Of course, I prepared it for you!" he grinned: "Honey, didn’t you say you have a slight cold these days? Afraid to take prescription medicine that might harm the body? Well, eat some garlic! Don’t worry, I checked, during the pregnancy preparation period, eating a little garlic is fine. How about this, I won’t push you, you just eat three cloves of vinegar-soaked garlic every day! Come on, try one!"
"I won’t!" Jian Anning felt nauseous as soon as she touched that stuff, how could she eat it? But Yu Zexiao picked up the garlic and stepped towards her, still wearing a gleeful smile.
Jian Anning knew exactly that he was retaliating for the leek incident yesterday, so today he came up with the "eye for an eye" tactic!
Though born from the same root, why must we harm each other?
"Alright, then from now on, you don’t have to eat leeks either."
