Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 1157 - 1159: There’s Something Inside

"Darling, come, have a taste. Chef Jiang said it’s good for your health."

Sitting there, Xiaotian had no mood to eat any pastries. The scene in the courtyard just now had really scared her to death. She was afraid that Guo Feng would find out Li Fugui’s identity and harm him. She only hoped that Li Fugui would stop coming and live his own life.

Seeing Xiaotian in a daze, Guo Feng brought the pastries in front of her, coaxing her like a child, "Look, these pastries look so nice. Have a taste."

Looking at the meticulously prepared pastries, Xiaotian really couldn’t eat, "Brother, I’m not hungry. Why don’t you eat instead?"

"Eat a little, for the baby’s sake. It’s getting late, and you don’t want to be hungry at night." Guo Feng kept persuading.

Faced with Guo Feng’s concern, Xiaotian had to accept, taking a piece of pastry and handing one to Guo Feng as well, "Let’s eat together then."

"Alright." This time Guo Feng accepted. He thought that if he ate with her, maybe she would eat some too.

The two of them ate the pastries together, and Guo Feng kept praising, "This pastry really tastes good, it’s sweet and sour, just the flavor you like."

"Mm." Xiaotian nodded, also finding the pastry quite tasty.

After eating a piece, Xiaotian offered another piece to Guo Feng, but this time Guo Feng refused, "No, you should eat it. It’s specifically prepared for expecting mothers. What would it mean if I ate so much?"

Guo Feng’s words successfully amused Xiaotian, so she pulled back her hand and continued eating by herself.

Savoring the pastries made by Li Fugui, she thought she might not get to eat them many more times.

After taking a couple of bites, she paused; this pastry was different from the one she just ate, there seemed to be something inside.

Seeing Xiaotian pause, Guo Feng asked, "What’s wrong?"

Xiaotian pretended to be calm and said, "The pastry is a bit dry, I’m a little thirsty."

Hearing Xiaotian was thirsty, Guo Feng quickly went to pour water. While he was doing so, Xiaotian quickly glanced at the pastry in her hand, and her heart skipped a beat. There was indeed something inside, it looked like a piece of paper. Frightened, she hurriedly hid the pastry and picked up another piece.

Soon, Guo Feng handed over the water, speaking with care, "Drink up, don’t choke."

"Mm." Xiaotian nodded, took the water, and drank a few sips, but inside, she was filled with worry. Guo Feng had also eaten the pastry just now; would he find out something?

Her heart was racing; she looked at Guo Feng, but he seemed perfectly normal. So she sat there, pretending nothing had happened, and continued eating the remaining pastries.

Knowing the pastries had been tampered with, Xiaotian dared not let Zi Lan take the leftovers as before.

She couldn’t open and inspect each pastry openly, as that would arouse suspicion. Her only choice was to eat them all to check.

Luckily, there weren’t that many pastries prepared.

Seeing Xiaotian devouring the pastries despite reluctance earlier, Guo Feng thought, Chef Jiang’s pastries indeed piqued Xiaotian’s appetite.

Pastries are different from dishes. Dishes made at the restaurant might get cold by the time they reached home and would not taste good reheated.

But pastries are fine; since she likes them and Chef Jiang can’t come every day, he could go to Yuelai Restaurant to have Chef Jiang make some, then bring them back.
