Lin Yuwei spoke while her gaze was fixed on Chu Chenyi. He was indeed less likable than the big yellow dog she hadn't raised yet.
Now, even looking at Chu Chenyi a few more times felt extremely irritating, yet he persisted in clinging to her without any self-awareness. He was truly troublesome. She wondered what method she could use to stop Chu Chenyi from bothering her constantly.
For instance, today, as soon as she returned to Marquis Pingyang's residence and sat down, before she could even finish a cup of tea, Chu Chenyi followed close behind. He was like a tail stuck to her backside, impossible to shake off, and extremely annoying.
Chu Chenyi had never expected that in Lin Yuwei's eyes, his status was even lower than that of a big yellow dog.
Recalling the irritating dog barking ferociously at him, he felt vexed. It happened that the household hadn't had any meat in a while. He decided this was the perfect opportunity to let everyone taste dog meat.
That big yellow dog had been raised quite plumply by Lin Yuwei. It should be enough for everyone in the household to have a hearty meal. With this thought in mind, Chu Chenyi was already planning how to find a suitable reason to get rid of the big yellow dog.
Lin Yuwei remained oblivious to the fact that Chu Chenyi had set his sights on the dog she raised.
Feng Jin stifled her laughter, struggling to hold it in. It was so difficult that tears were almost forced out of her eyes.
She hadn't expected that after only a few days apart, she would truly see Lin Yuwei in a new light. Her skill at retorting had improved significantly; it was truly impressive. Those two sentences were simply masterful.
Suppressing her excitement, Feng Jin secretly gave Lin Yuwei a thumbs-up gesture. If it weren't for Chu Chenyi being present, she would have stood up and applauded.
After being belittled, Chu Chenyi's expression grew even more unpleasant. Sitting there felt like sitting on thorns. He wasn't sure if Lin Yuwei would say anything more astonishing or frightening.
"Let's eat first. If we don't eat now, everything will get cold."
In the end, Lin Yuwei couldn't bear to drive Chu Chenyi away. Considering he was still a prince and her nominal husband, she decided not to pursue the matter this time.
She couldn't let him leave hungry. Besides, the table full of dishes couldn't possibly be finished by just the two of them. So, she magnanimously allowed Chu Chenyi to stay and eat with them.
Lin Yuwei picked up her chopsticks first and placed a piece of fish on Feng Jin's plate: "Sister Feng Jin, this fish was caught fresh this morning. It's very fresh. Sister Feng Jin, please try it and see if it suits your taste."
To prepare this tableful of dishes for Sister Feng Jin, she had used the best ingredients and spent quite a lot of money. However, as long as Sister Feng Jin could eat comfortably, she felt it was worth spending even more money.
It was just a pity that these good dishes were somewhat cheap for Chu Chenyi, considering how thick-skinned he was, like a city wall, refusing to leave.
She couldn't have him thrown out, so she had no choice but to let Chu Chenyi stay and eat.
Lin Yuwei glanced at Chu Chenyi, who was eating with gusto, and couldn't help but roll her eyes. He was eating quite heartily, showing no restraint whatsoever.
"Does it taste good?"
Leaning closer to Chu Chenyi, Lin Yuwei asked with a slightly chilling tone.
"It's not bad. It's just that this Mapo Tofu is a bit too spicy. It's not good for you to eat spicy food now that you're pregnant. You should eat lighter meals."
After taking a small bite of the tofu, he was quite taken aback by the spice. If Lin Yuwei hadn't been pregnant before, he wouldn't have intervened no matter how spicy it was. But now, it was different; she was carrying a child, and everything she ate and used required great care.
Such stimulating food, so spicy, was definitely not to be eaten anymore. It seemed necessary for him to have a good talk with the people in the small kitchen. They had no basic common sense, how could they serve such a dish to a pregnant woman like Lin Yuwei? It was simply reckless.
Chu Chenyi reached out and moved the Mapo Tofu in front of him further away, to a spot Lin Yuwei couldn't reach. He then placed several dishes he considered bland in front of Lin Yuwei.
"I've tasted these dishes just now. They are very light and healthy, most suitable for you now."
Lin Yuwei's mouth twitched uncontrollably. She glared fiercely at Chu Chenyi with an unkind gaze, almost gritting her teeth as she squeezed out a few words: "If you're not going to eat, then hurry up and leave!"
She was kind enough to let him stay for a meal, but instead of being grateful, he became even more demanding and started bossing her around.
He moved away all the dishes she loved and placed only plain, watery meals in front of her. None of them were dishes she liked.
Forget about picking up her chopsticks to eat, even looking at them made her want to vomit. Just seeing them annoyed her immensely. She instantly regretted her moment of soft-heartedness in letting Chu Chenyi stay. She wondered if there was still a chance to get rid of him.
"Eating some light vegetables is good. It increases dietary fiber, which is beneficial for your body."
For once, Feng Jin did not contradict Chu Chenyi. Instead, she followed his words and also placed a chopstickful of green vegetables on Lin Yuwei's plate.
She was pregnant now, and eating lightly would be good for her body and the baby in her womb.
"Sister Feng Jin, why are you saying this too? And what is this dietary fiber you're talking about? I've never heard of it before."
After all, Sister Feng Jin always said surprising things and often spoke strangely. She didn't understand what she meant.
What was this dietary fiber? Could it be eaten? Was it delicious or not?
"Uh... this... this..."
Caught off guard by the sudden question, Feng Jin's mind went blank for a moment. She couldn't think of a suitable response. After hesitating for a long time, she continued: "It's just another name for vegetables. I saw it in a book by chance and thought it sounded elegant, so I remembered it."
In any case, attributing everything to a book was always the right approach. She couldn't possibly go and find the book, and with so many books, it wasn't something she could find quickly.
"In a book... Then why haven't I seen it in books?"
What kind of books was she reading that contained such records? Why had she never read such books before?
"I also forgot which book I saw it in. I've read so many books that I've mixed them up."
Feng Jin's words were by no means a boastful display. She was speaking the absolute truth. The books she had read, stacked up, could fill an entire room.
These were all accumulations of her knowledge, her most precious wealth.
"Is that so..." Lin Yuwei still felt a bit strange.
