Chapter 200 An appetizingly voracious appetite
In the restaurant
The table was already laden with all sorts of dishes. Lin Qianqian wolfed them down, stuffing food into her mouth as if she hadn't eaten for days, which really startled Xiao Die, who was standing next to her.
Xiaodie's eyes widened in disbelief. She quickly stepped forward and said, "Miss, didn't you just finish eating? I saw you ate quite a lot just now. How come you're eating so much again like a starving ghost? You need to take it easy and not overeat!"
Lin Qianqian, her mouth stuffed full and cheeks bulging, chewed with difficulty while mumbling, "I don't know why, I just feel hungry. Maybe it's because the baby in my belly wants to eat, hehe~" After saying that, she showed a satisfied smile and continued to eat heartily.
Seeing this, Xiaodie frowned, scratched her head, and still looked confused, completely unable to understand what was wrong with her young mistress.
After swallowing the food in her mouth, Lin Qianqian waved impatiently at Wanqing, who was standing not far away, and shouted loudly, "Wanqing~ another plate of sweet and sour pork ribs, the sweet and sour taste is so appetizing!"
Upon hearing this, Xiaodie hurriedly raised her voice and shouted, "Miss!"
Shen Wanqing also looked surprised. She paused for a moment, then quickly replied, "Oh, oh..." As she answered, she walked quickly towards Lin Qianqian and asked with a worried expression, "Qianqian, why has your appetite increased so much since you got pregnant? Is there something wrong?"
Xiaodie listened from the side, her brows furrowing even more, her hands unconsciously twisting together, her worry becoming more and more obvious, and she muttered to herself, "Yes, Miss's appetite has become so strange, it has never been like this before, I hope something has gone wrong."
But Lin Qianqian seemed to have completely ignored what they were saying. Her mind was entirely on the food in front of her. She kept stuffing food into her mouth, eating and drinking heartily. Her gluttonous appearance was completely different from her usual dignified and elegant self.
Shen Wanqing frowned slightly, looking thoughtful, and slowly said, "Once a woman gets pregnant, the reactions are different. Some vomit all day long, throwing up whatever they eat, and it's heartbreaking to see them suffering like that; others become extremely sleepy, feeling tired all day long, wishing they could stay in bed forever; and still others, like Qianqian now, focus entirely on eating, with such a huge appetite that it seems like they can never get enough to eat."
Upon hearing this, Xiaodie's eyes widened in surprise, and she exclaimed with a worried expression, "Ah? Miss, won't it be bad if you keep eating like this? I've never seen a pregnant woman eat like this before, it's too abnormal!"
Lin Qianqian was stuffing a piece of braised pork into her mouth, her cheeks bulging. As she chewed, she mumbled, "I'm perfectly fine, what could possibly happen? Don't make a fuss." As she spoke, she reached for more food.
Shen Wanqing gently shook her head, then continued seriously, "To be honest, it's perfectly normal to want to eat more after getting pregnant, after all, there's a little baby in your belly, and the nutritional needs are greater. But, Qianqian, your appetite is beyond what most people can imagine. Think about it, we usually eat about the same amount, but now your appetite is almost equivalent to several strong men, and you always seem to be hungry, which is indeed a bit strange. I've heard experienced women say that if a pregnant woman's appetite suddenly becomes abnormally large, it might be a sign that something is wrong with her body and it's sending us a signal, so we can't ignore it."
Upon hearing this, Xiaodie was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth. Her eyes were filled with shock, and she became increasingly frightened. She kept muttering, "Oh dear, what should we do? Miss, please don't let anything happen to you."
Hearing Shen Wanqing's words, Lin Qianqian's hand holding the food froze in mid-air. She was stunned, forgetting to chew the food in her mouth. The satisfied and greedy expression on her face gradually disappeared, replaced by a solemn look. She slowly put down her chopsticks, her hand unconsciously touching her slightly protruding belly, lost in thought, and began to wonder: "Could there really be something wrong?"
Shen Wanqing looked serious, her eyes fixed on Lin Qianqian, and asked with concern, "Qianqian, think carefully, has there been anything unusual recently? Please try to recall carefully."
Upon hearing this, Lin Qianqian was slightly taken aback at first, then frowned and repeated, "An unusual situation?"
She tilted her head back, narrowed her eyes slightly, and began to think seriously, as if she were replaying the past frame by frame in her mind.
After a while, she slowly shook her head and said with a hint of helplessness, "No, it's just that I feel more sleepy than usual, and I always want to sleep."
Shen Wanqing frowned even more, a hint of anxiety in her eyes, and asked again, "Did you come into contact with anything special, or eat anything that would make your appetite so big?"
Lin Qianqian was startled again, and subconsciously repeated, "Something that makes you have a big appetite?" Her expression became a little tense, and she quickly searched her memory. Suddenly, she remembered reading in a book that certain foods during pregnancy could increase one's appetite. As she thought about it, she felt a chill down her spine and her face turned slightly pale.
Xiaodie tilted her head and thought carefully for a moment before quickly saying, "Miss didn't eat anything special. Her three meals a day were no different from usual! Hmm~ right, she only drank the pregnancy-stabilizing soup that Consort Su sent. Nothing else was special."
Upon hearing this, Shen Wanqing's eyes widened, and she asked with a face full of doubt, "A pregnancy-stabilizing soup?"
As if awakened, Lin Qianqian suddenly realized that the scene of drinking the soup for preventing miscarriage instantly flashed into her mind. At that time, she only felt that the soup tasted very special and smelled refreshing. However, after drinking it, her appetite seemed to be out of control and became bigger and bigger. She still felt hungry even after eating so much.
Lin Qianqian seemed to realize something, her face grew even more gloomy, her lips trembled slightly, and she sat there silently without saying a word, but her eyes revealed an indescribable complex emotion, as if she were trapped in deep worry and doubt.
Shen Wanqing and Xiaodie exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with confusion. Then their gazes turned to Lin Qianqian, whose brows were tightly furrowed, as if a knot had been tied between them. Her lips were pressed together, and she remained silent, sitting there quietly, lost in her own thoughts.
Seeing her like this, Shen Wanqing and Xiaodie felt even more uneasy, but they didn't dare to interrupt her. They just stood quietly to the side, their faces full of worry and confusion, their eyes showing concern but also some helplessness. They could only silently watch over Lin Qianqian and wait for her to come out of her silence.
Lin Qianqian secretly wondered: [Could it really be...?]
