Chapter 562 King crabs.
" Alright, that's enough!" said Madam Zhu as she clapped her hands and directed everyone's attention toward her, Su Wan was really thankful to her for doing so, she was worried that any second later and the family would have divided between a girl team and boy team. Though she didn't care what the gender of the child as long as they come into the world safe and healthy and more importantly without giving her too much pain, yes that was the most important part—— she hated pain the most, it was better than the child will be delivered without much suffering or else she was going to make Lin Yan suffer with her since he was the one who put this baby in her.
Lin Yan shivered instinctively when he felt a sudden chill crawl up his spine, he looked behind him but saw nothing. He scratched his head in confusion, what was that chill? Was he imagining it?
Madam Zhu on the other hand glared from one guilty face to another and snapped. " Who cares whether it is a girl or boy? As long as the baby comes to this world safely, isn't it?" Listening to Madam Zhu's sensible words the entire group of men lowered their heads in shame. That's right, as long as the baby was safe, what was the point of discussing its gender? They should be happy that they were at least getting a baby.
They have been thinking about having a baby, for who knows how long—— and now that Su Wan was pregnant, they were fighting like little children over the gender of the child. They should be ashamed of themselves!
However, before the men even got a proper chance to be ashamed of themselves. They heard Madam Zhu's following words——
" But try your best to give birth to a daughter, will you Wan Wan?"
The men of the family: "….." did she just? She did… right?
Su Wan: "….." Sorry aunt there was nothing she could do now, the gender was already decided the day she conceived this child.
"let's eat," said Zhang Xiaohui when she sensed that another fight was soon going to break. " the food is getting cold, and cold food is not good for pregnant ladies, they should eat warm things."
Only then did everyone snap out of their daze and hurriedly led Su Wan to the dining room. While she was being dragged, Su Wan shot Zhang Xiaohui a thankful gaze, she was really helpful at the moment—— if not, Su Wan was worried another war would have broken out at any moment.
Once everyone settled down around the dining room, Lin Yu looked around and frowned. " Second brother, didn't you say that you brought a rare thing for Wan Wan, where is it?"
" that's right, second brother." Even Lin Rui who was hardly ever aggressive looked at Lin Yan with a smile that was full of mocking. " Did you not say that your gift was better than ours? Where is it?"
Lin Chen who has just taken a sip of his water choked, and Shen Junxi who was beside him frowned though he hurriedly patted his back, worried that if the little brat died because of suffocation. His niece's birthday would be ruined —— though that was what Shen Junxi would have said if anyone asked, the truth was that compared to the other brothers he was a bit sweet on Lin Chen and now Lin Yan too—— since he was the one who gave him the opportunity to become a granduncle.
But this was something that Shen Junxi will never admit to no matter what.
Once Lin Chen stopped coughing he looked at Lin Yan who was low-key trying not to look smug and scrunched up his brows. " Alright, now I am curious too. What is your gift, Second brother?"
Even Lin Jing was looking towards his younger brother though his gaze was more curious than intrusive.
Lin Yan smiled though he tried to act a bit modest, the smugness in his eyes was very clear. He cleared his throat and said," you all remember, that a few days ago, Wan Wan was saying that she was craving King crabs, right?"
As soon as he said that Su Wan's eyes lit up, that's right. At that time she didn't know that she was pregnant and was having cravings, all she wanted was to eat King crabs and was really listless every day, however, she continued to crave that delicacy she couldn't have, it wasn't that the Dong Tong village didn't have crabs, it did but they were too small and the meat inside them wasn't even chewy and delicious.
Lin Chen had caught a few when she said she wanted to eat them but compared to the fresh batch of King crabs that she had in the modern world the small crabs were not doing any justice to the fresh crab meat that she ate.
" You got it? You got that for me?" Though Su Wan got several things ranging from jewellery, clothing and picture frame and whatnot… her priorities have always been decided. To her, the most important thing that was more precious than jewellery and fine clothing was —— GOOD FOOD! She was a foodie and the way to her heart led definitely from her stomach.
When the Lin brothers saw that Su Wan was acting like a child just at the mention of the King Crabs, their faces turned sullen. Damn! Why did they forget that their wife liked her delicious meals more than anything else? What were they thinking looking for this and that, they should have gone hunting for King crabs!
What they didn't know was that Su Wan was only acting like this because of her pregnancy cravings, she —— a pregnant woman who has been waiting to eat King Crabs for days was finally getting her to wish fulfilled, how can she be not excited?
This was something that the brothers would never be able to understand!
