Pregnant and Divorced by My Disabled Husband

Jian Si didn't bother with Lu Youting anymore, spooning soup and rice into Lu Yanbai's mouth bite by bite.

The aroma of the dishes mixed with the fragrance of the chicken soup constantly tantalized Lu Youting's taste buds, making him hungrier as he kept peeking into the lunchbox, thinking that if Xiao Bai couldn't finish it, he could help clean up the leftovers.

After all, Xiao Bai had always been a light eater.

And he didn't really like the dishes.

He probably wouldn't eat them.

Unexpectedly, not only did Xiao Bai eat everything cleanly, but he also looked as if he still wanted more.

"Mommy, the food you make is really too delicious, can you make it for me again tomorrow? I want to eat more! The chicken soup is also delicious, truly leaving a lingering taste, making one crave for more."

This was the highest praise he had ever given.

Jian Si happily agreed.

"Of course! Mommy will make it for you again tomorrow. As long as you want to eat, I can make it for you every single day."

Lu Yanbai loved the words 'every day' the most.

He hugged Jian Si tightly around the waist, burying his little head into her embrace, greedily inhaling her scent: "Mom, you smell really nice."

"Silly child!"

Jian Si indulgently stroked his little head: "It's still early, we just finished eating. Let me take you down to the garden for a stroll, help with digestion, and prevent indigestion."

Lu Yanbai was all compliance to her words.

After nodding vigorously, he put on his shoes and jacket and left hand in hand with Jian Si.

From the beginning to the end, he didn't even glance at Lu Youting, not even giving him a look, as if he were invisible.

Lu Youting's handsome face turned grim as if frosted by the cold.

He felt like his chest was about to explode with anger.

Not giving him anything to eat, huh?

Couldn't he buy his own?

With that thought, he resolutely took out his phone and called Lu Ya.

"Order me a dinner, I want a portion of free-range chicken soup, stir-fried cucumbers, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and stir-fried corn with shrimp."

These were all dishes Jian Si had just made for Xiao Bai.

They seemed really delicious.

Hearing the dishes the boss ordered, Lu Ya fell silent.

Seeing that he wasn't speaking, Lu Youting raised an eyebrow and asked, "Didn't you hear clearly?"

Lu Ya spoke despairingly: "Boss, do you really want to eat these dishes?"

These were dishes the boss usually wouldn't even touch!

Lu Youting furrowed his brows, annoyed, and growled lowly: "If I told you to go, then go!"

Lu Ya dared not ask further and immediately carried out Lu Youting's order.

Lu Ya was very efficient.

In no time at all, the meal was delivered.

Lu Youting had just opened the meal and neatly arranged it on the coffee table, yet before he could even start eating, Jian Si returned with Xiao Bai.

"...??"

Jian Si was momentarily taken aback by the sight of the meal on the coffee table, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

"Is this what you're eating?"

She remembered that Lu Youting never ate these things.

Two years into their marriage, she knew his tastes inside and out from cooking for him.

Lu Youting felt as though he was caught red-handed.

The atmosphere turned somewhat awkward.

Finally, with a guilty cough, Lu Youting said: "Can't I change things up once in a while?"

Jian Si looked at him as if he were a rare animal, almost not believing he would actually eat these things.

Feeling uneasy under her gaze, Lu Youting slowly picked up a piece of the stir-fried cucumber from the bowl and put it into his mouth. At the taste, his facial expression obviously stiffened.

Had it not been for Jian Si watching, he would certainly have spit it right out.

How could it taste so bad?

Where did Lu Ya buy this from?

Jian Si observed his expression with a smile that wasn't quite a smile and kept her gaze fixed on him.

Under her scrutiny, Lu Youting continued to eat, steely and determined, but each bite made his stomach churn.

He was puzzled.

Xiao Bai had seemed to enjoy his meal just a moment ago.

Why was it so disgusting now?

What exactly went wrong?

Seeing Lu Youting's increasingly strange expression on his face, Jian Si teased with a sneer at the corner of her mouth, "Do you know who Xiao Bai takes after?"

The sudden question left Lu Youting momentarily confused, "…?"

Jian Si snorted softly, "He's like you, that's why he's so fussy!"

Having said her peace, she mercifully averted her gaze, and Lu Youting took the opportunity to spit the scrambled eggs with tomatoes he'd just put in his mouth into the trashcan beside him.

He quickly cleaned up the tea table while Jian Si was in the bathroom bathing Xiao Bai and threw the unfinished food in the garbage bin of the hot water room.

Unable to contain his anger, he called Lu Ya.

The phone had just connected when, without waiting for Lu Ya to speak, he questioned harshly, "Where did you buy this from? Why is it so disgusting?"

"…??" Lu Ya felt wronged and stuttered, "The hotel opposite the hospital."

That was the luxurious five-star hotel that Lu Youting had built especially to take care of Lu Yanbai's diet.

All the chefs inside were carefully selected by Lu Youting and had won international awards.

"…" Lu Youting's throat choked up slightly, "Their skills are too poor; fire them all and find new ones."

Normally obedient to Lu Youting, Lu Ya couldn't help but defend the chefs, "They were meticulously selected by you, and until now, no one has complained. I've tasted their cooking too, and it's quite good. Perhaps you're not used to those dishes. How about I ask them to prepare a few different dishes for you?"

Lu Youting's handsome face tensed, and he knew he was being unreasonable. He took a deep breath and let out the turbid air that was stuck in his chest, "Forget it! It's nothing."

After hanging up, he took several deep breaths to calm himself. As he walked out of the hot water room, he bumped right into Jian Si.

Jian Si was holding a kettle, with the persistent Lu Yanbai by her side.

Their eyes met.

A clear flicker of guilt flashed in Lu Youting's eyes, which he quickly covered up. He frowned, pretending to be displeased, "What are you doing in the hot water room?"

Jian Si lifted the kettle in her hand, looking at him as if he were a fool.

Feeling even more guilt-ridden, Lu Youting snatched the kettle from her hand, "Xiao Bai can't come here. You take him back first, I'll do it."

Jian Si cast a suspicious glance at him, then looked past him to his rear.

Without a sound, Lu Youting stepped aside, blocking her view.

Jian Si gave him a meaningful look, slowly curved her lips into a smile, and walked away with Lu Yanbai.

Unable to guess how long she had been standing outside and how much she had heard, Lu Youting stared at Jian Si's retreating figure, his eyes ablaze with flames, almost wishing he could devour her.

He filled the kettle with hot water and returned to the hospital room.

Lu Youting was out of sorts.

Especially seeing his son, whom he adored deeply, completely ignoring him and concentrating all his attention on Jian Si. He felt an aching jealousy, as if he were superfluous.

After sitting for a while, unable to stay any longer, he stood up to leave.

"Since you're staying here with him tonight, then I'll leave now. I'll come back in the morning."

Jian Si and Lu Yanbai didn't even glance at him, just waved their hands in response.

Lu Youting was close to exploding with anger, his chest feeling like it was stuffed with cotton, the frustration neither dissipating nor easing, excruciatingly uncomfortable. He left with the caretaker, leaving only Jian Si to care for Lu Yanbai.

Waiting for the elevator, Lu Youting ran into Ye Qingqing, who was about to head home after her night shift.

Using a hand injury as an excuse, Ye Qingqing hoped Lu Youting would take her home.

Since it was still early, Lu Youting agreed.

On the way home, Ye Qingqing, sitting in the passenger seat, stared absentmindedly at Lu Youting's profile.

The sharp lines of his face, the high bridge of his nose, the thin lips, the perfect jawline, and the sexy Adam's apple all emitted a seductive charm under the intermittent street lights.

Such an outstanding man—if not for that car accident years ago, if he hadn't been confined to a wheelchair due to leg injuries, and if she hadn't run away from the marriage out of fear he would be incapable—would they now be a sweet and loving couple?

The more she thought about it, the more discontented she felt.

Lu Youting was clearly her man. What right did Jian Si have to intervene? And even think of coming back to compete with her?

Who did she think she was?

Was she even worthy?

Ye Qingqing's heart raced, and she couldn't help but cover Lu Youting's hand on the gear shift with her uninjured hand.

"Youting…"

Her voice was hoarse, carrying an endless allure.

The implication was clear.
