After looking at her watch, it was indeed time to eat. Besides, she was pregnant with her baby and couldn't leave her baby hungry. With this thought, Mi Ruo followed him into the restaurant.
When ordering, Li Yan looked at the menu and asked softly, "Honey, is there anything you particularly want to eat today?"
Since she was pregnant with her second baby, her appetite has not been very good since the first three months, and her morning sickness has been particularly severe. After finally waiting for the first three months to pass, Mi Ruo's appetite has improved, but it is not as good as before.
She has a good appetite like other pregnant women. For this reason, Li Yan ordered Granny Shi, who was in charge of the kitchen, to change the menu every day and make sure to make dishes that would appetize Mi Ruo.
Mi Ruo looked at the menu, frowned and said, "I don't know, how about... can you order it for me?"
This was exactly what Li Yan wanted. He nodded with a smile, pointed directly at the menu and poked at it, and told the waiter, "I want this, without Sichuan pepper...and this, without pepper...the juice must be freshly squeezed."
Yes, it cannot be mixed with water...and use more lemon for this..."
The waiter was very professional. After quickly writing down Li Yan's request, he turned around and hurried to the kitchen.
Ten minutes later, all the dishes were served. Mi Ruo looked at the large table of sumptuous dishes and was stunned, "Li Yan, why did you order so many?"
"Not much, just what you usually like to eat."
Mi Ruo stared blankly at the dining table and murmured, "Three fresh tofu soup, shrimps with broccoli, braised lamb chops with kudzu root, king oyster mushrooms in abalone sauce, candied pumpkin, white silk crucian carp soup, cuttlefish stewed chicken..."
I counted with my fingers, my God, ten dishes and one soup were served!
"Eat quickly, isn't it all your favorite food in the past? By the way, I heard that this can induce lactation. Try it." As he said that, Li Yan had already scooped a spoonful of soup into Mi Ruo's bowl.
Mi Ruo opened her mouth wide and was stunned. This is... too exaggerated!
The wife of the two couples at the table next to her happened to be pregnant. She pointed at Mi Ruo and Li Yan and said to her husband, "Look at how considerate my husband is to his wife. He also knows what recipes are good for inducing lactation."
, what about you? If you were half as good as him, I should be snickering!"
Mi Ruo heard this and was really dumbfounded.
Since the food was already served, she couldn't just throw it away without eating it, so she obediently picked up the bowl and chopsticks and started eating.
Not to mention, these meals are really delicious. Mi Ruo only ate them in small bites at first, but later she ate them with great pleasure.
When he was about to finish eating, Mi Ruo suddenly raised his head and asked Li Yan, "By the way, the New Year is almost here. How do you plan to spend New Year's Eve?"
Mi Ruo originally wanted to spend New Year's Eve with Li Yan and her daughter Cindy. During the three years she spent in Provence, France, none of the neighbors had the custom of celebrating New Year's Eve. Now that she has returned to Nancheng, she wants her daughter to
Get used to the domestic lifestyle.
Moreover, this year was the first time that their family of three celebrated the New Year in China. She wanted Li Yan and Cindy to have a happy and special New Year's Eve.
Unexpectedly, Li Yan said, "New Year's Eve?"
"Yeah," Mi Ruo nodded lightly.
He counted the days with his fingers, frowned and said, "What should I do? A Biao and I happened to be on a business trip to the French branch that day. There is a very important project that I need to discuss in person."
Seeing a look of disappointment on Mi Ruo's face, Li Yan frowned and asked, "What's wrong? I'm not at home. Will you and Cindy be disappointed?"
Mi Ruo was stunned, this was obvious, but Li Yan's face was calm.
She suddenly remembered that Li Yan never seemed to have the habit of celebrating New Year's Eve. The reason was probably because he had spent ten years in Fumo City during his childhood and had forgotten many customs. According to A Biao, Li Yan later
After returning to China, he inherited a huge industry and became very busy, with almost no free days.
He is always so busy...
Mi Ruo looked at Li Yan's handsome eyebrows and was worried.
He suddenly raised his head, saw her eyes, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's okay, you should eat something too." Mi Ruo shook her head, looking as if nothing had happened.
——
At three o'clock in the afternoon, after returning to the CEO's office on the top floor of Yanhuang Group, Li Yan began to read the plan attentively, while A Biao stood upright next to him.
He suddenly remembered something and looked up at A Biao, "New Year's Eve...how are you going to spend it?" Unable to think of what words to use to express what he meant, Li Yan used Mi Ruo's words.
"Ah?" A Biao was obviously stunned. He was thinking about other things, and he didn't expect Li Yan to suddenly ask such a question out of nowhere.
After coming to his senses, he replied, "I haven't thought about it yet, but... I remember when my parents were alive, they would get together to eat dumplings every New Year's Eve."
"Eating dumplings? I forgot that you are from the north." He nodded and looked out the window, his thoughts wandering.
Li Yan had almost no memories of festivals in his childhood. After he left Demon-Fighting City and returned to China, his parents had also passed away, so his memory of New Year's Eve was not very good.
In the impression, the servants always prepared sumptuous Western-style meals for him to enjoy, but he was the only one sitting on the long dining table...
Seeing that he was absent-minded, A Biao suggested, "President, I think the meeting that day should be postponed. We can find a way to make up for it in France, but New Year's Eve only happens once a year. This is the time for you, your wife, and
It’s the first New Year’s Eve after the little miss’s reunion.”
Li Yan moved slightly, nodded, and said, "Okay, you can make some arrangements for me. Oh, by the way, don't tell my wife yet."
Hearing this, a look of understanding appeared on A Biao's face, "Okay, I know you want to give your wife a surprise."
He smiled but did not answer or comment.
A few days later, it was finally the night of New Year’s Eve.
In the evening, patches of snowflakes started to fall from the sky without warning. It is rare to see snow in this place in Nancheng. The snowflakes this time were not only new, but also the heaviest in so many years. Many people went out to watch the snowflakes.
Beautiful scenery at this moment.
The snowflakes are as light as feathers. Occasionally a gust of wind blows, and they dance gracefully, so beautiful that people forget to breathe.
Mi Ruo looked at the dancing snowflakes outside the window and felt like she wanted to run out and dance. However, she knew that her body would not allow it. If she accidentally fell, she would hurt the baby in her belly.
But Cindy didn't care so much. She ran out of the villa happily and laughed in the garden that turned into white.
Mi Ruo felt extremely happy when she saw this scene. The only flaw was that... Li Yan was on a business trip and he was not at home tonight.
Just as she was thinking about it, a car slowly drove into the villa, and the car lights shone into the living room from the window. Mi Ruo felt happy and got up and ran out of the door.
