Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
When Master Zhai called his son, Zhai Zhongshen was in a meeting with his senior management and executives.
Master Zhai did not call Zhai Zhongshen often. However today, he asked his son to send photographers his way as fast as possible.
Upon receiving this request, Zhai Zhongshen helplessly suspended his meeting and instructed his assistant to follow Master Zhai’s orders.
A short while later, several photographers arrived at the Zhai Residence.
And an hour after that, a freshly made menu appeared in front of Jian Yiling.
!!
The menu was definitely freshly made because it had been printed not long ago. Therefore, if you touched the paper, it would still be warm.
Each dish on the menu was also accompanied by an image and text.
When Jian Yiling saw the menu, she no longer knew how to make decisions.
Zhai Yunsheng came over and glanced at the menu in Jian Yiling’s hands.
Jian Yiling immediately looked at him with helpless eyes.
The message in her eyes obviously stated: A Sheng, please help me. I don’t know what to pick.
Originally, she assumed Zhai Yunsheng would help her. However, Jian Yiling’s assumption was too naive. His comment initiated a verbal war.
“Don’t eat Sichuan cuisine. It’s too spicy. Your throat will feel uncomfortable.”
Upon hearing this, Grandma Jian and Grandpa Jian immediately said: “What are you even saying? Baby girls like spicy foods whereas baby boys like sour foods. If she wants to eat spicy foods, it proves that she’s going to have a daughter! If that’s the case, how can you stop her from eating spicy foods?”
“There’s no scientific basis for that,” Zhai Yunsheng calmly replied.
Jian Yiling nodded when she heard this. There was indeed no scientific basis or proof for that comment.
“So what if there’s no scientific basis? I gave birth to three sons! And every single time, I wanted to eat sour foods!” Grandma Jian exclaimed. She used her own personal experience as proof and evidence.
No one here had any experience in childbirth! Therefore, no one could argue against her words.
“I want to eat pickled fish,” Jian Yiling interrupted.
“Ahh, why are you craving sour foods?” Grandma Jian commented sadly.
“That’s incorrect! Pickled fish can be spicy as well!” Grandpa Jian hurriedly added.
It was hard to determine whether pickled fish was sour or spicy.
Grandma Jian hurriedly asked her granddaughter: “Darling, do you want the chefs to make you something sour or spicy?”
In her mind, Jian Yiling wanted to say sour.
However, she did not want her grandma to be disappointed.
When Master Zhai noticed Jian Yiling’s dilemma, he stated: ‘Well, we can just ask the chef to make two portions. One being sour and the other being spicy!”
Either way, Master Zhai was happy he was finally going to have a great-grandchild.
He didn’t care if it was a baby boy or girl.
In fact, he would be delighted if Jian Yiling gave birth to twins or triplets. In his mind, the more the merrier.
“But if she can’t finish eating everything, we’ll be wasting food,” Grandma Jian reminded.
“We won’t be wasting food. If she can’t finish eating everything, we can just ask her brothers to come over. And if they can’t finish, just call Yiheng over,” Grandpa Jian said. If Jian Yiheng came over, there wouldn’t be any leftovers.
Upon hearing this comment, the corners of Master Zhai’s lips twitched a bit. Were the Jian brothers adopted or something?
“It’s alright. You don’t have to call them over. We can just ask our servants to have some of the food as well,” Master Zhai said.
He didn’t want to trouble his granddaughter-in-law’s brothers.
“You don’t need to feel bad. They’ve eaten Yiling’s leftovers ever since they were young. By now, they’re used to it,” Grandpa Jian stated nonchalantly.
When Master Zhai heard this, he silently told himself that he wanted to say such a thing during his lifetime.
He wanted a group of great-grandchildren gathered around him. If his great-granddaughter couldn’t finish her food, he would order his great-grandsons to eat the leftovers.
Ah… Just thinking about such a scenario made him happy.
In fact, he wanted to impulse buy more toys! He was going to fill the entire house with toys!
Even though the bulge in Jian Yiling’s belly was still small, Master Zhai had already prepared two baby rooms.
