Chapter 1019:1019 Taking Care....
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation | Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Tan Rou told Zhuang Liu about her period. She did not expect Zhuang Liu to remember it because most men could not remember their partner’s period. Many men would get angry when their wives asked them to buy sanitary products. No man should buy these things for women.
“Do my parents know?” Tan Rou asked, “If they still don’t know, don’t tell them. They must have been busy these two days. I don’t want them to be distracted by my matters.”
Zhuang Liu did not tell the Tao family. Even if he told them, it would be useless. Could they share Tan Ron’s pain? Moreover, it was a good time for him to be alone with Tan Rou. He had to seize the opportunity and be a qualified husband.
Tan Rou sent a message to her mother, telling her that she had gone to Zhuang Liu’s house and would not disturb her brother and sister-in-law.
The Tao family took it that they were tired after a busy day and went back to rest early. They did not think too much about it as they would then see her again at night during dinner.
Zhuang Liu didn’t want Tan Rou to go. The doctor had told her not to eat spicy and cold food. It was best to drink more warm porridge to recuperate, so he didn’t want Tan Rou to go to the banquet at night.
However, the moment he opened his mouth, Tan Rou rejected him. “If I don’t show up, they’ll be worried about me. I promise I won’t eat anything there. At most, I’ll drink some hot soup.”
“Does your stomach still hurt?” Zhuang Liu asked.
“Muchbetter,” Tan Rou replied.
Zhuang Liu had no choice but to agree to Tan Ron’s participation in the banquet that night. However, he also made his own request. “You must not drink alcohol at night, and you must not drink any more cold drinks. I’ll get to the kitchen to prepare porridge for you. Is that okay?”
Tan Rou felt warm in her heart. She agreed to Zhuang Liu’s arrangement. “Okay… However, you must not let Dad and Mom find out. I don’t want this to happen on the day of my brother and Tian Tian’s wedding. Moreover, the elderly are more superstitious. If they knew that such a thing happened on this happy day, they would probably be unhappy.”
Zhuang Liu naturally understood this. “Alright, I’ll be careful.”
When it was time for dinner, Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu arrived early. When they arrived, no one else had arrived yet, so Zhuang Liu could arrange for the kitchen to prepare some porridge for Tan Rou.
However, in order not to expose the truth that Tan Rou could only eat porridge, he prepared porridge for everyone. However, the others had porridge with many ingredients, while he and Tan Rou only had the simplest plain porridge.
During the meal, Zhuang Liu had been taking care of Tan Rou. He took advantage of the time when others were chatting and replaced the wine in Tan Rou’s glass with a little warm water. However, as long as someone wanted to drink with Tan Rou, Zhuang Liu would return and drink it for her instead so that she wouldn’t have to drink any.
“Xiao Rou, why aren’t you eating?” Mother Tao was very attentive. She quickly noticed that Tan Rou was only holding his chopsticks and not eating. She asked, “Is the food tonight not to your liking?”
The Tao family was a little nervous. They were the ones who arranged the dinner tonight. If Tan Rou didn’t like it, it would be their dereliction of duty.
“No, it’s alright.” Tan Rou smiled and picked up some steaming boiled prawns and placed them in her bowl. “I ate too much at noon. I don’t feel like eating.”
Mrs. Tao didn’t suspect anything. “You’ll still have to eat some. Otherwise, you’ll be hungry at night.”
Zhuang Liu naturally picked up the prawns from Tan Rou’s bowl and put them in his own bowl. Then, he peeled the prawns for her. “Mom, don’t worry. If Rourou gets hungry tonight, I’ll make her something to eat.”
His words surprised the others because in their impression, the Zhuang family’s third young master had always been a serious person. After becoming the head of the family, they felt that he was even more difficult to get along with. They all thought that Zhuang Liu didn’t need to eat. They didn’t expect him to not only eat, but also cook for himself.
“The head of the Zhuang family knows how to cook?” Tiantian’s mother was surprised.
“Auntie, I’m just a junior here. You can just call me by my name.” Zhuang Liu said.
She couldn’t call Tian Tian’s mother that. Although Zhuang Liu and Tian Tian were of the same generation, he was already the head of the family and was in charge of such a big company. How could she dare to call him by his name?
“I heard Xiao Rou say that Xiao Zhuang is very good at taking care of people. Ah Zhi, you have to learn from Xiao Zhuang!” Mrs. Tao said with a smile.
