"You must be hungry too, go ahead and eat."
Gu Feng opened the food, and Li Xiaoran initially tried to eat like a lady, but after the first bite, her hunger seemed to awaken, and she began to devour the food without caring about her manners.
Gu Feng watched Li Xiaoran eat and suddenly laughed as she was enjoying her meal.
Suddenly turning her head, she caught sight of Gu Feng's warm smile in his eyes.
Li Xiaoran's heart raced again, and she became shy, saying, "Why are you looking at me? Is it really that strange to see me eat?"
"Don't mind me. I just thought of Lan Baobao when I saw you eating. You two really are good friends; even the way you eat is similar! You’re really close!"
"Who eats like her?"
Li Xiaoran pouted and shot Gu Feng an annoyed glance.
Lan Baobao's way of eating had a certain charm that made Li Xiaoran feel inferior.
After thinking for a moment, she asked, "Then, my sleeping posture... it wouldn't be similar to hers, right?"
"Oh, that's not the case. You look much better when you sleep than Lan Baobao!"
Thank goodness! If even her sleeping posture was like Lan Baobao's, that would be too embarrassing!
Li Xiaoran smiled, revealing a pair of dimples. The opportunity to sit next to Gu Feng was rare; aside from the last time at Lan Baobao's wedding, this was a chance she had to cherish.
Taking advantage of the fact that Lan Baobao was still asleep, Li Xiaoran seized the moment to chat with Gu Feng.
He was truly gentle and so talkative; he was handsome and carefree—a perfect partner!
Li Xiaoran was immersed in happiness, wishing that Lan Baobao would sleep like this forever.
After a while, Lan Baobao opened her eyes. As soon as she did, she heard Li Xiaoran's melodious laughter.
"Really? I didn't know there were such things. I really want to experience it; what does it feel like to jump off a cliff!"
"You really are a bold person. Most people would stay far away from such things, and you want to try it!"
"Of course!" Li Xiaoran said excitedly. "The scenery over there is breathtaking; I just want to see it! But those places seem to be for wealthy people like you. I probably need to save seven or eight years' worth of salary just to go once!"
"That's not that exaggerated. Next time I plan to go, I'll let you know, and we can go together!"
"Really?"
"Of course! Let's invite a few more friends to join us; the more, the merrier!"
Li Xiaoran asked playfully, "You won't charge me on the way there, will you? Just so you know, even if you sold me, it wouldn't be worth much; my meat isn't valuable!"
"Haha, I'm not so poor that I need to sell human flesh to survive. Don't worry, I might go next month; just get your visa sorted! I'll let you know in advance!"
"Then it's a deal!"
Lan Baobao listened to Li Xiaoran and Gu Feng laughing and chatting about their travel plans.
She slowly got out of bed and said lazily, "Hey, you two! Where are you planning to sneak off to without telling me? If there's a good place to go, why not share it with me?"
Gu Feng and Li Xiaoran were so engrossed in their conversation that they didn't realize Lan Baobao had woken up. Li Xiaoran immediately glared at Lan Baobao and said, "Oh no! The lazy bug finally woke up! If you don't get up soon, I'm going to take this gentleman away for a nice meal all by ourselves!"
"Hmph, I knew you would forget your loyalty for the sake of beauty! You had a big meal and didn't even invite me, trying to hog it all for yourself. That's so ungrateful, hey..." Lan Baobao squinted at the things on the coffee table, raised her eyebrows, and said, "Did you all eat all my snacks?"
"What do you mean 'your snacks'? Did you pay for them? If you didn't pay, they don't count. I'm eating Gu Feng's snacks! Who told you to sleep for such a long time? I was about to go crazy waiting for you. Enough talk, hurry up and get up!"
Li Xiaoran was not as polite as Gu Feng; she had been waiting on the sofa for a long time. Fortunately, Gu Feng was there to keep her company, or Li Xiaoran would have probably eaten everything in front of her.
She stood up and shoved Lan Baobao's clothes at her, turning back with an authoritative tone and said, "Gu Feng, it's time for the ladies to change clothes; you should step outside for a bit."
"My apologies, I'll step out and wait for you."
Nursing followed Gu Feng out of the room.
As soon as they left, Li Xiaoran spoke at lightning speed, "Lan Baobao, listen up! Gu Feng is taking us to a Japanese restaurant to eat Japanese food. No matter if you want to go or not, you have to come! And you are not allowed to dress more beautifully than me; otherwise, don't blame me for hitting you! Got it?"
Lan Baobao had just woken up and hadn't even processed what was happening when a piece of clothing was shoved into her arms.
While her mind was still spinning, Li Xiaoran's face suddenly loomed large in front of her, glaring angrily as she said each word clearly, "Did you hear what I just said?"
"I... I heard it clearly. I absolutely won't dress more beautifully than you, and no matter if I want to eat or not, I will definitely go!"
"Good! I'll be sitting here waiting for you; make it quick!"
What on earth is happening? Xiao Xiao's expression just now was really scary. Did she take the wrong medicine again?
Lan Baobao quickly changed into a sweater and a pair of casual jeans.
After changing quickly, she washed her face and pulled her hair up into a bun.
After quickly putting on a pair of flat shoes, Lan Baobao deliberately pulled out a very obedient smile and said, "The world's number one beauty, Li Xiaoran, I am ready to go at any moment!"
Li Xiaoran looked up and down at Lan Baobao.
This outfit, on her, really was quite unremarkable!
However, that smile was perhaps a bit too radiant.
Li Xiaoran pinched Lan Baobao's cheek and said, "We are going out to eat now, so you are not allowed to smile so brightly, understand?"
"I... I'll try to understand!"
Today, Li Xiaoran might have encountered some unexpected incident when leaving home and hurt her head!
Lan Baobao thought this in her heart, but she couldn't say it out loud because she knew all too well what kind of punishment awaited her if she offended Li Xiaoran. Lan Baobao kept this thought to herself and would never dare to speak it out!
After going out, Gu Feng drove while Nursing accompanied them. The four of them went to a nearby Japanese restaurant together.
Since finding out she was pregnant, Lan Baobao had been avoiding greasy food, but she seemed to still love Sashimi, often asking them to bring her some.
Fortunately, Gu Feng had booked this Japanese restaurant so she could enjoy the freshest Sashimi.
"Wow, what a beautiful place! It looks stunning from the outside; the decor here is amazing. The owner is really impressive!" Li Xiaoran loved places with character like this.
As soon as they entered, she couldn't help but praise it.
Meanwhile, Lan Baobao was staring at the sushi on the rotating platform, swallowing her saliva.
Salmon Sushi, Eel Sushi, super luxurious Sashimi Platter...
Wow, this is simply amazing!
“Mr. Gu, the meal you requested is ready. Can I prepare the Sashimi for you right now?”
“Sure, let's start with a serving of salmon!”
Lan Baobao couldn't wait any longer and answered on behalf of Gu Feng.
Gu Feng nodded, and the chef began slicing through a fish with his knife, creating piece after piece of soft salmon Sashimi that lay gently on a plate filled with crushed ice. The chef then took out a shellfish the size of a head from a container.
Lan Baobao had no idea what it was, but when the chef started slicing it, she wished her tongue could turn into that knife so she could taste the deliciousness immediately.
“Hey, Baby, control your drool; it's not like we're not going to let you eat!”
Li Xiaoran saw her face nearly pressing against the knife's edge. The chef looked frightened, almost as if Lan Baobao could become the freshest Sashimi!
“But... it looks so tempting!”
“You'll get your chance to eat; just sit down for now!”
Li Xiaoran forcibly pulled Lan Baobao back and watched as the chef prepared Sweet Shrimp, Arctic Clam, and Yellowfin Tuna. After everything was ready and the sushi was served, he placed the Sashimi right in the center of the sushi platter.
“The ingredients used today are all top quality. Please enjoy!”
With that, the chef walked out of their private room.
Lan Baobao was already drooling over the food: "Can I start eating?"
"Can you not look so greedy?" Li Xiaoran retorted.
Lan Baobao pointed to her belly and said proudly, "It's not me who's greedy; it's the baby in my belly who is very hungry. He keeps telling me he wants to eat, so... I won't hold back!"
Watching Lan Baobao devour the high-end sushi in big, meaty chunks, Li Xiaoran couldn't help but think.
Actually, having a child isn't such a bad thing.
At least being gluttonous has a reason, and being lazy has a reason too. Even if her figure changes, she can still find an excuse. A child really is a universal shield!
Li Xiaoran secretly glanced at Gu Feng.
Seriously, even when eating, he looks that handsome. It feels like Gu Feng could eat a raw chunk of bloody meat and still look just as charming.
After some playful banter, Li Xiaoran and Lan Baobao had already lost count of how much they had eaten.
With Gu Feng's financial backing, there was no need to worry about anything!
