Chapter 130 - Chapter 130: Chapter 130: A Bit Worried (2/2)
“Are you full?” Han Yu asked, holding his daughter-in-law who had eaten until her stomach was round, now leaning into his embrace. He didn’t ask Su Wenyue to eat more, as usual, because she had truly eaten enough for the day, several times her normal amount of food, including quite a few greasy dishes. Han Yu worried that eating too much might upset her digestion. He even started to massage her stomach but was subtly pushed away by Su Wenyue.
Su Wenyue dared not let Han Yu randomly massage her stomach, which was carrying a precious little one. Although Han Yu was gentle in his touch, she couldn’t be completely at ease, fearing a careless move might harm the baby inside her.
Seeing Su Wenyue massaging her own stomach after warding off his hand, Han Yu thought she really must have eaten too much. So he took her for a walk, which actually helped since she had indeed overeaten. After eating so much at dinner and sleeping heavily, she often felt hungry, which had become her most noticeable pregnancy craving. Unable to resist the sight of a table filled with delicious food, she had let herself go. After walking, though, her stomach felt much emptier, and by bedtime, she was feeling hungry again.
“Daughter-in-law, what’s wrong?” Han Yu, who was preparing his hunting gear for the trip to the mountains, had returned to the room to take off his robe and go to bed. He noticed that Su Wenyue, who had appeared to be asleep, was now sitting up. Initially, he thought she needed to use the restroom, but it turned out she was hungry and wanted something to eat.
Normally very composed, Han Yu’s mouth twitched a bit at this point. He remembered his daughter-in-law had eaten quite a bit that evening, having already consumed several times her usual amount during dinner, and on top of that, two cakes. How could she be hungry again?
In fact, Su Wenyue had often been hungry lately, and Xiao Xi had prepared cakes for her, knowing that if the meals were not to her taste, she might eat less. So it was normal for her to have some cakes to fill her stomach. But her hunger today seemed especially pronounced.
“Daughter-in-law, are you really hungry again?” Han Yu asked uncertainly, afraid he had heard wrong, that his daughter-in-law couldn’t be hungry again.
“Of course I am. Hurry up and get me the cakes from the cupboard,” Su Wenyue demanded urgently, her voice sounding as though she had been starving for ages. As Han Yu handed her the cakes, she began to eat them without even lifting her head.
Han Yu quickly poured a cup of water for Su Wenyue and began to pat her back gently.
“Daughter-in-law, take it easy. No one is fighting you for the food. Don’t choke. Here, have a sip of water!” Han Yu said, bringing the cup to Su Wenyue’s lips instead of handing it to her, a gesture that showed their natural intimacy.
After eating one cake, Su Wenyue felt less hungry and slowed down her eating. She chuckled to herself, realizing that her manners had been a bit rough just now.
Under normal circumstances, even with the increased appetite due to pregnancy, Su Wenyue wouldn’t get hungry so easily. Today, however, she had spent a considerable amount of energy; after dinner, she had taken a long walk, which also burned through some energy. Even after a big meal, her quick digestion is why she became hungry again so quickly.
To Han Yu, Su Wenyue’s behavior seemed quite unusual, and a slight worry showed on his face, but he didn’t let it show in front of her.
Han Yu hadn’t considered the possibility of his daughter-in-law being pregnant, since pregnancies in his older sisters-in-law hadn’t come easily. Su Wenyue hadn’t been married into the family for long. He thought maybe something was wrong with her health. Although Doctor Lin had treated Su Wenyue when Han Yu took her to the Su Family, he was still worried, thinking that if she continued to feel this way, he would take her to The City to see another doctor.
