Chapter 1246: Why Is It So Easy to Make People Overthink

Chapter 1246: Chapter 1246: Why Is It So Easy to Make People Overthink

Ye Fei nodded, just as she was about to explain, she suddenly heaved dryly.

The force of the dry gag made her bend over instinctively, and Ye Fei subconsciously covered her mouth with her hand.

It was just a dry heave, nothing came out.

Just uncomfortable.

"What’s wrong?" Zhao Gushen quickly pulled over to the side of the road and stopped the car.

He turned to pat Ye Fei’s back while saying, "Let’s go to the hospital."

"Why are you suddenly gagging? Did you eat something bad at school, or are you too tired?" Zhao Gushen asked worriedly, "I noticed you didn’t look well when I picked you up just now."

But he looked at the others, who also looked pale, and thought about the upcoming International Cooking Competition, figuring everyone must be busy preparing.

Zhao Gushen was aware of the rules of the International Cooking Competition.

Zhao Guoxian had already communicated them to him.

So Zhao Gushen roughly knew that this afternoon they must have been busy working on the dishes for tomorrow’s competition.

Seeing everyone looking pale, Zhao Gushen guessed it was due to exhaustion.

But being so tired you vomit is unacceptable.

How exhausted must one be to reach such a point of fatigue?

Ye Fei shook her head, raised her hand to stop him.

She knew what was going on, no need for a hospital visit.

But feeling so uncomfortable, she couldn’t speak, so she simply gestured to stop Zhao Gushen from driving straight to the hospital.

The little one in the backseat anxiously watched Ye Fei, his eyes glistening with concern.

Drawing on his years of watching melodramatic dramas, many dire thoughts flashed through his mind.

They appeared like subtitle banners, streaming across the black screen in his mind, quickly filling it.

Suddenly, the dark screen was filled with four words.

High alert ahead!

Completely covering the entire screen.

The little one unbuckled his seatbelt and climbed down from the seat.

Gripping the seatback of the front passenger seat, he tried his hardest to squeeze his little head between the two front seats.

"Xiao Fei, am I going to have a little brother or sister?" he asked, utterly unexpectedly.

Zhao Gushen jolted, excitedly asking Ye Fei, "Really?"

Ye Fei had Xiao Mo when he wasn’t around.

And he and Ye Fei had both agreed they wanted to give Xiao Mo a sister.

Having little Xiao Mo, such a mischievous little guy, was already enough; Ye Fei feared she couldn’t handle more.

Just imagining two Xiao Mos asking her who among them is the cutest was too challenging.

But Xiao Mo was incredible; she must have saved the whole universe in her past life to have such a lovable treasure.

And yet, she felt... one is enough.

Moreover, of course, the fewer, the more precious.

Ye Fei absolutely wouldn’t admit she feared having another mischievous son.

Zhao Gushen wanted a daughter, thinking they were so much cuter, being all soft and lovely.

Talking in sweet little voices, delicately, with long, soft hair, clinging to him calling him daddy.

Isn’t that so much cuter than a son?

Zhao Gushen had no experience at all in what pregnancy reactions were.

Now reminded by the little one, it was true!

Doesn’t it really look like that?

Zhao Gushen was so excited; hadn’t it been for the cramped space of the car, he would have danced around to show Ye Fei and Xiao Mo.

"Pregnant... pregnant?" Zhao Gushen beamed with joy.

Ye Fei: "..."

Seeing Zhao Gushen so happy, Ye Fei couldn’t bear to crush his enthusiasm.

This little one, his mouth is too quick!

No shadow of the situation at all, yet he says it out loud.

Suppressing her nausea and discomfort, Ye Fei said, "No, I’m not pregnant, I didn’t conceive."

"Then why are you gagging?" the little one asked on Zhao Gushen’s behalf, "Isn’t that a symptom when you’re expecting a baby?"

"..." Ye Fei took the bottled water Zhao Gushen handed her, drank a few sips, then said, "When I was carrying you, you were still in my belly, how do you know?"

"That’s how they always show it on TV," the little one replied.

Ye Fei was once again suspicious of what kind of TV shows the little one had been watching.

In the evenings, she and Zhao Gushen always stayed home to accompany the little one.

However, thinking about it, it seemed they hadn’t been paying close attention to the little one.

During the day, she was attending classes at Changping, and the little one returned home early, around 4 o’clock.

When she and Zhao Gushen returned, it was after seven in the evening.

During this gap, neither of them really knew what the little one was up to at home.

Sometimes in the evenings, at home, Ye Fei pondered recipes, while Zhao Gushen handled work.

Reflecting on this, the time spent watching what the little one was doing seemed very limited.

The little one probably watched quite a few dramas with especially rich storylines during this gap.

Ye Fei silently decided to find a way to set up a kid-friendly mode or settings when they got back to limit this.

If not, the little guy might end up learning a lot.

If it didn’t exist, she’d directly ask Wei Wucai to design one specifically as an option.

Ye Fei put aside her thoughts for now and explained to Zhao Gushen, "No, it’s just that all our team members were confined to a practice room all afternoon, researching the dishes for the competition, constantly tasting and improving them, tasting and improving, just eating made us want to puke without mentioning it. Even with the ventilation system on, it couldn’t disperse the rich aroma of cooking quickly enough."

"If we had an appetite, the aroma would make us crave. But the key is none of us were hungry, and even if we hadn’t tasted it before, after smelling those scents for hours in the afternoon, we nearly gagged just from the smell."

"It’s not just me, you saw everyone else’s faces were ashen when they came out, all of us were overwhelmed by the smell." She even suspected that some went outside and maybe already vomited.

Zhao Gushen: "..."

So not pregnant then.

He unwillingly asked again, "Should we still go to the hospital for a check-up? Even if it’s not pregnancy, you’re feeling unwell, so maybe some digestive aid can help."

"I’ll just get some digestive tablets, hawthorn slices, or sour plums to improve my appetite." Ye Fei really didn’t want to go to the hospital for this small matter.

Zhao Gushen: "..."

Even though Ye Fei kept assuring him she wasn’t pregnant.

But the things she wanted to eat, they sure easily prompted thoughts otherwise.

Ye Fei saw the look on Zhao Gushen’s face and knew he still held onto hope.

Ye Fei had long known Zhao Gushen wanted a daughter.

There was no intention of wealthy families wanting to keep having sons.

Even to inherit the family business, having Xiao Mo was enough.

Zhao Gushen simply wanted to make a complete pair, experiencing the journey from pregnancy to childbirth and caring for a little baby.

Ye Fei also wanted a daughter to accompany the little one.

Otherwise, Xiao Mo would be too lonely alone.

With just him, the only child at home, he’d be spoiled too much.

Ye Fei was worried it might lead the little one to develop a personality that doesn’t like sharing.

Many kids with siblings often know better how to take care of others than single children do.
