“Why are you home so early?” Shu Pan couldn’t help but ask.
“I’m picking you up to go out for dinner.” Gu Shaoting said righteously.
“Huh?” Shu Pan was puzzled. Why did he suddenly want to eat out?
“He Ming arranged it. He and Xiaomeng are about to leave for the restaurant.” Gu Shaoting didn’t beat around the bush.
“Alright then.” The main reason Shu Pan agreed was that she wanted to see Xiaomeng because she hadn’t told her best friend that she was pregnant.
When the two of them arrived at their private room at the restaurant, He Ming and Xiaomeng were already there.
“Girl, please sit.” Ye Xiaomeng said happily when she saw Shu Pan. She had been really busy with her wedding preparations.
Shu Pan sat down next to Xiaomeng.
“How are the wedding preparations going?” Shu Pan asked with concern. Because she had been through it before, she knew how much hard work it was.
“Don’t bring it up. It’s so tiring that I don’t want to get married anymore.” Ye Xiaomeng always knew how to shock people with her words.
He Ming, who was sitting next to Xiao Meng, was shocked. “Xiaomeng, what nonsense are you talking about?”
“Haha, I’m sorry. It’s just a metaphor.” Only then did Ye Xiaomeng realize what she had said the wrong thing.
“Don’t say such things in the future. You are going to be a mother soon. Be more mature.” He Ming reprimanded. He was extremely sensitive nowadays and got nervous at the slightest sign of trouble.
“Okay.” Ye Xiaomeng stuck her tongue out at him.
Shu Pan nodded helplessly when she heard that. Such friendly duels between these two.
Their dishes arrived. They were having a Kobe beef-themed dinner. The barbequed beef was tender and fresh. Shu Pan and Ye Xiaomeng had never eaten such delicious beef before.
Ye Xiaomeng used to throw up everything she ate and would walk away whenever she saw meat. Now that she was finally in her second trimester, everything she ate tasted good. That was why He Ming had ordered top-grade beef to help her replenish her energy.
Shu Pan’s appetite wasn’t too bad today. Her baby was quite considerate and did not torture her.
“Come, Panpan, eat more.” Gu Shaoting kept putting food into Shu Pan’s bowl. Ye Xiaomeng was a little envious.
She glanced at He Ming, who reacted quickly and picked up a piece of beef for Ye Xiaomeng. “Eat more. You’re eating for two now.”
Ye Xiaomeng was quite touched until she heard his last sentence. She couldn’t help but retort, “Are you asking me to eat more only because of the baby?”
He Ming sighed helplessly. Pregnant women were really hard to please. They were too sensitive and tended to misinterpret words.
“Sweetheart, I care about you as well as the baby.” He Ming coaxed her.
“Hmph.” Ye Xiaomeng did not believe his sugar-coated words.
“Xiaomeng, stop being difficult.” Shu Pan couldn’t stand it anymore. So, this was how her best friend treated He Ming. No wonder He Ming seemed to have lost weight.
“Shu Pan, it’s okay. As long as Xiaomeng is happy…” He Ming said indifferently with a smile.
Shu Pan was suddenly too embarrassed to say more, but she was happy for Xiaomeng. After all, she had found someone who cared deeply about her.
“Panpan, open your mouth. I’ll feed you.” Gu Shaoting leaned over again.
“I don’t want to eat anymore. I’ve had enough meat.” Shu Pan pushed his chopsticks away.
“How is that possible? You haven’t eaten much, and the beef isn’t greasy.” Gu Shaoting tried to persuade her. Shu Pan used to love beef.
“I’m a little sick of it. I can’t eat anymore. I’ll throw up if I do. I would like to have some vegetables and fruits now.” Shu Pan frowned.
“Enough. Aren’t you two a bit much? There are other people here, okay?” Ye Xiaomeng complained.
Gu Shaoting said calmly, “Didn’t you guys disgust me with your lovey-dovey back then? Did I complain?”
Gu Shaoting retorted. He ignored Xiaomeng and turned the lazy Susan to get fruits and vegetables for Shu Pan.
