Hearing Yuan Tiantian say this, Bai Ying immediately protested. He also wanted to go out for a stroll, but was mercilessly rejected by Yuan Tiantian.
"If you go out too, who will take care of the shop?"
Bai Ying didn't say a word, but his little eyes would drift towards Sheng Jing from time to time. The meaning was obvious. However, probably because of Sheng Jing's powerful combat ability, he didn't dare to say it explicitly. Yuan Tiantian laughed.
"Take good care of the shop. I'll bring you back a cake when I return!"
Yes, this muscle - bound man Bai Ying was actually crazy about cakes. Since he ate a small cake brought back by Yuan Tiantian one time, he had fallen in love with them. From time to time, he would beg Yuan Tiantian to buy some. It was inaccurate to say "some". Bai Ying could eat a ten - inch cake with his bare hands without feeling sick of it!
"Okay..."
At 2:30 p.m., Sheng Jing rode his electric bike again and followed behind Yuan Tiantian. But this time, they weren't going shopping. Their destination was the county hospital.
There weren't many people in the county hospital in the afternoon. Yuan Tiantian took Sheng Jing to the obstetrics and gynecology department. She was here for a prenatal check - up today, and Sheng Jing was just going to be her tool for this time. After all, she was pregnant out of wedlock, and the marital status could be seen on these network - connected devices. She couldn't lie. So Yuan Tiantian had the nerve to ask Sheng Jing to be her scapegoat boyfriend.
Sure enough, seeing that Yuan Tiantian was pregnant out of wedlock, the obstetrician asked if the father was here. Yuan Tiantian quickly nodded and then pointed at Sheng Jing sitting on the chair diagonally across the corridor. He also saw the look Yuan Tiantian gave him and nodded back at her.
"His family doesn't agree with us for the moment, but the baby is innocent. We've both decided that no matter what happens to us in the future, we'll definitely give birth to the baby and take good care of him."
Yuan Tiantian said it seriously. The obstetrician, being a parent herself, nodded in agreement with Yuan Tiantian's words and then wrote out a form for her. However, she still advised Yuan Tiantian to persuade the boy's parents as soon as possible. Yuan Tiantian quickly nodded.
In the B - ultrasound room, the check - up went smoothly. The fetal heartbeat and胎芽 were both there, and the baby was 8 weeks and 3 days old, which was a bit over two months.
Since it was Yuan Tiantian's first pregnancy, she took the report and went back to the outpatient department. The obstetrician saw the report and said everything was okay. But she reminded Yuan Tiantian to register for the pregnancy file before 12 weeks. She also asked Yuan Tiantian some questions and found out that she hadn't started taking folic acid yet. So she prescribed some and told Yuan Tiantian to take it for at least 12 weeks.
Knowing that the baby was doing well, Yuan Tiantian felt relieved. But thinking about registering for the pregnancy file, she wasn't quite sure. She had a household registration in City B and didn't know if it would have any impact. Yuan Tiantian was lost in her own thoughts and didn't notice the strange look Sheng Jing gave her. After Yuan Tiantian left, the obstetrician had a chat with Sheng Jing.
The content of the chat made Sheng Jing confused. How did it suddenly turn to the need to persuade his family and think more about the small family?
What was all this about?
When they got out of the hospital, Yuan Tiantian got on her electric bike and was about to go to the cake shop to buy a cake for Bai Ying, but Sheng Jing blocked her way.
"Let's have a talk?"
Looking puzzled, Yuan Tiantian listened as Sheng Jing asked two questions. One was the reason for bringing him here, and the other was about what the obstetrician had said to persuade him. After hearing this, Yuan Tiantian's face instantly flushed red, and she looked at Sheng Jing sheepishly.
She didn't expect the obstetrician to be so enthusiastic that she actually went to talk to the "main character" about the story Yuan Tiantian had made up!
"Hehe..."
Yuan Tiantian gave a silly laugh, then scratched her head and briefly told Sheng Jing about the situation. Finally, she said embarrassedly,
"So, I brought you here today just to be a tool, like a shield."
Sheng Jing understood and didn't dwell on it. He didn't really mind Yuan Tiantian's little use of him. However, what made Sheng Jing's heart stir a bit was that when he heard Yuan Tiantian say that she was set up and didn't know who the father of the baby was, there was an inexplicable commotion in his heart, which raised doubts in Sheng Jing's mind.
On the way back, Sheng Jing kept thinking about this but couldn't find an answer. Finally, he suppressed his doubts. Maybe one day, it would be solved automatically.
When they got back to the shop, Bai Ying was watching videos on his phone and laughing happily. His sense of humor always puzzled Yuan Tiantian. He could laugh for half a day just watching Animal World. Was it some special emotional expression of the same species?
After Bai Ying finished a cake, it was around 4:30 p.m. Yuan Tiantian went into the kitchen to get busy. The dinner customers would start coming after 5 p.m. The first customers tonight were Aunt Xia. As soon as 5 o'clock struck, she brought her four - year - old grandson into the food store.
"Yangyang, what do you want to eat?"
After they sat down, Aunt Xia asked her grandson lovingly. The little boy swayed his legs and said in a milky voice,
"Eat eggs!"
Aunt Xia knew he was talking about the eggs bought from Yuan Tiantian. Her grandson had come back the day before yesterday. Since he took his first bite of the eggs on the first day, he had completely fallen in love with them. He had eaten ten eggs in three days. Aunt Xia brought him here tonight just to let him try something different and see if she could buy some more eggs to take home.
Seeing stir - fried eggs with cucumber on today's menu, Aunt Xia ordered one. Then she gritted her teeth and ordered a braised eel, a plate of fried rice with lard and eggs, a plate of plain white rice, and a glass of room - temperature lemonade. This meal cost quite a bit, but seeing her grandson eating happily, Aunt Xia felt it was worth it.
"Grandma, it's so delicious!"
Aunt Xia smiled and stroked her grandson's head. The little boy was conquered by the delicious food and ate while shaking his head.
"I'll come to grandma's house again in the future!"
The food at grandma's house was so delicious. Yangyang thought in his heart that he would come more often in the future. Aunt Xia couldn't stop nodding. Usually, when her son brought her grandson back, the little boy would start crying to go back after staying for a day or two. It was impossible not to be sad. Seeing the estrangement between her and her grandson, how could she not be heart - broken? But this time was different. The eggs from Yuan Tiantian's food store made Yangyang not mention going back even once in these few days.
Just now, he even said he wanted to come to his hometown. Aunt Xia was so excited that she felt grateful to Tiantian's Food Store.
Bai Ying, this rough guy, didn't feel the warm emotion between the grandmother and grandson, but Sheng Jing did. Then he thought of his master and felt a bit sad. His master must be very worried when he found out he was missing. It was a pity that he couldn't go back now.
Suddenly, there was a quarrel outside the shop.
Bai Ying and Sheng Jing quickly went out to have a look. They saw a middle - aged man and woman pulling at each other. The woman looked very angry, while the man was looking at her pleadingly.
"Li Ming, no wonder the child has been so well - behaved this time when he came back and didn't call me to go back. It turns out your mother took him to eat junk food!"
"I've told you many times not to take the child to these fly - infested restaurants. They're not clean at all!"
Hearing what the woman said, Bai Ying and Sheng Jing immediately frowned. This woman's words were really too offensive!
Yuan Tiantian happened to come out to get something. Hearing the woman's arrogant words, she ignored Aunt Xia's embarrassed look and walked straight to the door. She said coldly,
"This fly - infested restaurant doesn't welcome you. Get out!"
