Chapter 311 The pregnant woman wants to eat hot pot
Seeing that the servants were no longer stopping her, Su Yingxue smiled slightly, quickly walked out of the main entrance, and headed towards the gate.
Once outside, Su Yingxue quickened her pace toward the meeting place she had agreed upon with her mother-in-law.
She was filled with anticipation. She had been planning this trip for a long time, and she was determined to enjoy a delicious meal with her mother-in-law.
Thinking that her family might try to stop her, she secretly made up her mind: I can't let them ruin the plan today!
Li Yuzhu's car was already parked not far from the entrance. When she saw Su Yingxue come out, she quickly rolled down the window and called out softly, "Yingxue, come quick, I'm here!"
Su Yingxue walked over quickly, opened the car door, and got in.
Li Yuzhu nodded to the driver, signaling him to start the car, which smoothly drove away from the Tan family's residence.
"Mom, what would you like to eat?" Su Yingxue asked impatiently as soon as she sat down.
Li Yuzhu smiled slightly, a hint of slyness in her eyes: "I'd like to have some herbal tea and some salad. Eating too much oily food during pregnancy isn't good for your health."
She sighed and added, "Xiang Chen has been making sure I eat prenatal meals every day lately, and I've gotten so fat. It'll be a real problem if I can't lose weight after giving birth."
Su Yingxue couldn't help but laugh: "Mom, you're eating too healthily. If Zhengchu knew you wanted to eat these things, he might even praise you."
Li Yuzhu shook her head, her tone firm: "No, I must eat less this time, losing weight is the priority!"
Su Yingxue leaned back in her chair, a hint of envy in her eyes.
Compared to her mother-in-law's health concepts, she herself is more like a child, with only thoughts of eating ice cream, hot pot, spicy hot pot, and various drinks.
She couldn't help but imagine that if Tan Zhengchu knew she wanted to eat these things, he would be so nervous that his eyebrows would stand up, and he might even stop her from leaving the house.
Thinking of this, Su Yingxue couldn't help but laugh out loud, finding the contrast both amusing and endearing.
"Yingxue, what about you? What do you want to eat?" Li Yuzhu turned her head and looked at her curiously.
Su Yingxue smiled mysteriously, deliberately keeping everyone in suspense: "There are many things I want to eat, but it's a secret for now. You'll know when you see them."
After arriving in the bustling downtown area, Su Yingxue and Li Yuzhu slowly got out of the car.
The streets were bustling with people, and the noise was incessant.
Su Yingxue took Li Yuzhu's arm and said cautiously, "Mom, there are too many people here. Let me hold your arm so we don't get separated and you don't fall."
Li Yuzhu frowned slightly, clearly not used to the noisy environment: "It's too noisy here. How about we go to Heji Restaurant? It's quieter there."
Su Yingxue smiled slightly and nodded.
Just then, she suddenly felt the baby in her belly moving violently, as if protesting the noise outside.
She gently stroked her belly and said softly, "Baby, be good, don't fuss. Mommy knows you want to eat something delicious soon too."
She looked up, a hint of doting in her eyes: "This child, I guess, is just as eager as I am to eat delicious food." She couldn't help but laugh as she finished speaking.
"Mom, I'll take you to the best-selling snack shop. Their food is amazing!" Su Yingxue led Li Yuzhu through the crowd to the entrance of a snack shop.
The store was packed with people, and the queue stretched all the way outside.
Su Yingxue joined the line without hesitation, saying as she squeezed through, "Mom, wait for me over there, I'll be out in a bit."
She queued for a long time before finally buying all kinds of spicy hot pot, trendy milk tea, and strawberry ice cream.
Carrying a full load of food, she squeezed through the crowd and quickly returned to Li Yuzhu's side.
Li Yuzhu sat in an empty seat not far away, having waited for Su Yingxue for an hour and a half. Slightly impatient, she muttered softly, "This child, why is she so slow..."
Su Yingxue ran over breathlessly, her face full of apology: "Mom, I'm sorry, the business here is so good, the queue has been long."
Li Yuzhu sighed and smiled helplessly: "Never mind, as long as the food tastes good."
The two carried the food and headed towards Heji Hot Pot Restaurant.
Upon arriving at the restaurant entrance, Su Yingxue said with some concern, "Mom, it seems like all the seats here are booked. Can we still get in?"
Li Yuzhu smiled slightly and took out a reservation card from her bag: "Don't worry, I made a reservation in advance. Besides, I know the owner of this hot pot restaurant. Bringing some takeout food in won't cause any problems."
As the two entered the restaurant, the warmth from the heating instantly dispelled the chill.
The restaurant is elegantly decorated and has a quiet and comfortable environment, which contrasts sharply with the hustle and bustle outside.
Su Yingxue took off her heavy coat, stretched, and sighed, "Oh dear, with such a big belly, I get exhausted after walking for just a short while."
She sat on the soft sofa, eagerly opened the food in her hand, and began to eat heartily.
The aroma of hot pot and spicy hot pot wafted through the air, ice cream glistened in the sunlight, and trendy milk tea emitted an enticing sweet fragrance.
Li Yuzhu sat to the side, watching Su Yingxue wolf down her food, a hint of worry in her eyes: "Yingxue, this has no nutritional value. Are you sure Zhengchu won't be angry when he finds out?"
Su Yingxue looked up, a little bit of spicy hot pot sauce still on the corner of her mouth, and said with a smile, "Mom, it's okay to indulge yourself once in a while. I'll take good care of myself after I give birth, okay?"
Li Yuzhu frowned slightly as she looked at the ice cream, milk tea, and spicy hot pot in front of Su Yingxue: "These aren't very nutritious. How about I order something else for you?"
Su Yingxue shook her head, a hint of stubbornness in her eyes: "Mom, I just want to eat these! Especially ice cream and milk tea, I'm so hungry for them."
Su Yingxue eagerly tore open the ice cream wrapper and took a small bite. The cool sweetness melted on her tongue, and she couldn't help but close her eyes, savoring the wonderful sensation: "Wow, life is so beautiful!"
Then, she opened the milk tea, took a sip, and sighed contentedly.
When she started eating the spicy hot pot, an extremely happy expression appeared on her face, and she even looked like she was about to cry: "It's so delicious, I'm almost crying from the spiciness..."
Seeing Su Yingxue eating so happily, Li Yuzhu was worried that Tan Zhengchu would blame her for indulging her, but she still chose to make Su Yingxue happy.
She said softly, "Yingxue, you are both my daughter-in-law and my daughter. Spoil me if you want."
Su Yingxue was eating spicy hot pot, and she was sweating profusely from the spiciness, with tears welling up in her eyes.
Li Yuzhu quickly stopped her: "Don't eat it, it's bad for the baby."
But Su Yingxue was still not satisfied: "It's so delicious, I'm going crazy with cravings! We finally got out of here, so I have to eat my fill!"
She paused, then added, "But for the sake of the child, I'll only eat this once."
