Chapter 106: I Was Hungry Again
As Su Yan bade farewell to Madam Su, she whispered, “Mum, just think about it. Have another child with father.”
Without waiting for Madam Su’s reply, she pulled Gu Ruoyun and ran.
Madam Su was left shouting from behind, “Slow down, don’t fall.”
After they had gone far away, she laughed and scolded, “This child.”
Gu Ruoyun also followed Su Yan’s movements. Su Yan ran far away and giggled, “Do you know what I just said to my mother?”
Gu Ruoyun cooperated and revealed a curious expression, asking, “What did you say?”
Su Yan leaned close to his ear and said, “I said to let her and my father have another child.”
Gu Ruoyun’s eyes darkened and said, “Oh, is that so?”
He picked Su Yan up and said, “Are you hinting that I should speed up as well?”
Su Yan did not understand what he meant. When she finally reacted, she threw a punch at him.
“What are you thinking about? Put me down.”
Gu Ruoyun smiled and immediately carried her into the carriage.
Su Yan carefully looked around and only relaxed when she did not see anyone.
What she did not know was that after the two of them left, Old Master Su and Master Su came out from behind the bushes at the side. They looked at their backs and sighed, “Yan’er’s marriage to His Royal Highness is not bad.”
Master Su nodded in agreement.
The one whom they had looked down on the most had instead become Su Yan’s good husband. It was a good thing that they had not insisted on it.
On that day, Master Su had noticed the marks on Su Yan’s neck the moment they had returned. That was why he had been looking for trouble with Gu Ruoyun, displeased with him.
However, he was still satisfied with this son-in-law in his heart.
Upon returning to the imperial residence, Su Yan rubbed her hungry belly and said, “I’m hungry. I want to eat grilled fish.”
Gu Ruoyun looked at her belly. It had indeed become flat.
However, when he thought about how her stomach had bulged in the afternoon, he was still worried and rubbed it with his hand to make sure that there was no accumulation of food. Only then did he feel at ease.
Su Yan blushed at his actions and said angrily, “What do you mean by this? Are you complaining that I’ve eaten too much?”
Gu Ruoyun replied, “The imperial residence can afford to feed you no matter how much you eat.”
Su Yan scoffed softly and said, “I just want to eat until you’re poor.”
Gu Ruoyun smiled, “Just don’t eat until you’re too full.”
He then instructed the kitchen to prepare a grilled fish. Su Yan then added, “And a shredded sweet potato.”
Gu Ruoyun looked at Su Yan and said with a strange expression, “I’ve raised a little pig.”
Su Yan pounced on him and covered his mouth, “If you’re not willing to raise me, I’ll look for my father.”
Gu Ruoyun took her hand and begged for mercy, “How would I dare? I can’t wait to take care of you for the rest of my life.”
The two of them argued for a while. Su Yan nestled in his arms, rubbed her belly, and sighed.
Gu Ruoyun asked, “What’s wrong?”
Su Yan replied, “It’s all your fault. I’m even hungrier now.”
She then pinched the flesh on her belly. It was indeed a little more than before. She said resentfully, “If I gain weight, will you not like me anymore? Then you’ll find and take concubines. I’ll have to stay alone in an empty room…”
Gu Ruoyun saw that she was getting more and more depressed as she spoke. He cut her off helplessly and said, “You little girl, what are you thinking about all day?”
Su Yan sat up and looked into his eyes. She said seriously, “Gu Ruoyun, if you don’t like me anymore, you must tell me. I won’t pester you.”
Gu Ruoyun’s face darkened and said, “Don’t say such things anymore. Don’t even think about leaving me for the rest of your life.”
Su Yan retorted indignantly, “You’re saying this because you like me now. If you don’t like me anymore, you’ll change how you behave.”
Gu Ruoyun was almost angered to the point of laughing. “I haven’t even done anything yet and you’ve already convicted me?”
