Chapter 624: No appetite

After a few days, Xi Ting and Qin Yan were on a dinner party with Xi Ting’s friends. They went to a famous restaurant together. This place was under Nie Zhaoyang.

The married men would order a few dishes based on their wives’ tastes. There would always be some dishes that their wives liked to eat.

Qin Yan did not really like to eat fish and only ate it depending on how it was cooked. She only liked those that did not have a fishy smell. Among so many methods of cooking, she loved to eat the Sweet and Sour Mandarin Fish the most. This kind of appetizing sweet and sour taste was a taste that the others quite liked too.

Xi Ting then ordered some grilled skewers for Qin Yan, along with a Braised Crab in Fishermen’s Style. Because Qin Yan actually was not a picky eater. She liked to eat most things, so the other dishes that other people ordered were quite suited to Qin Yan’s tastes too.

Xi Ting picked a piece of fish for Qin Yan. This fish did not have many bones and almost did not have any fine bones either. But Xi Ting still picked out two pieces of bones after carefully examining the piece before putting it on Qin Yan’s plate.

As for the braised crab, Qin Yan liked to do it herself. And the taste in the crab’s shell was very rich and thick, so Xi Ting did not help her with it.

When Qin Yan picked up the fish, she felt a little weird. She had always liked to eat, but this time, she did not have any appetite. Qin Yan thought that it must be because she ate a lot of mini cakes before.

Luckily, fish was not very filling, so she ate this piece. Unexpectedly, the moment it entered her mouth, a strong, stinky, fishy taste spread out from the fish.

It was not that Qin Yan had not eaten this place’s sweet and sour mandarin fish before; it had always been delicious. When she tasted it back then, it had no fishy taste. She had eaten it in a few restaurants and the one this restaurant made was one of the best. But why was this fishy taste so strong this time?

She watched as other people ate it with no reaction at all.

Xi Ting saw her complexion and asked, "Why? Is it not tasty?"

Qin Yan whispered, "The fishy taste is too strong this time."

She felt embarrassed to say it in front of Nie Zhaoyang, so she’d lowered her voice.

Alas, Xi Ting asked Nie Zhaoyang straight away, "Did you hire a new chef?"

Nie Zhaoyang was shocked by his question. "No, why?"

"The fishy taste of the sweet and sour mandarin fish is too strong," said Xi Ting.

"It can’t be." Nie Zhaoyang had not eaten it. When the dish containing the fish moved in front of him on the rotating food serving tray, he took a piece.

After tasting it carefully for a long time, he said, "No, it’s the same as before. Try some."

Nie Zhaoyang rotated the food serving tray and Xi Ting also tried a piece.

Emmmm...

It did not taste fishy at all. But how did Qin Yan make this mistake?

Xi Ting said confidently, "It looks like my Yan Yan’s taste buds have become more sensitive."

Everybody was dumbfounded.

Qin Yan blushed with embarrassment and did not dare to raise her head. She whispered to Xi Ting because she was afraid that people would think she was being fussy. Now that nobody thought that the fishy taste was too strong except for her, she looked like she was very fussy.

Qin Yan poked Xi Ting under the table secretly. So annoying. Why did he have to say it out loud?

Something crossed Lin Shuang’s mind, and he asked Qin Yan, "When you ate this previously, you did not think the fishy taste was strong, right?"

"Yes. I really liked it when I tried it previously," said Qin Yan.

Lin Shuang had just eaten it and thought that it was not different from the usual taste.

She saw that there was still some stir-fried crab on Qin Yan’s plate, and she said, "Don’t eat the crab. What else do you like to eat?"

"Hmmm... I like to eat spicy food. Hotpot is my favorite," Qin Yan answered honestly.

Coincidentally, they had some fried blood curd, so Lin Shuang passed it to Qin Yan. "You like to eat this, right?"

"Mhmm." Qin Yan still did not really understand what Lin Shuang meant.

Lin Shuang smiled. "Try this, do you like it?"

Qin Yan felt strange. She would eat this occasionally and liked it when she ordered it at this place sometimes.

Qin Yan stretched her arm and scooped up a beef tripe using her chopsticks. She also liked to eat this when eating hotpot. Just like duck blood, it was a necessary dish for eating hotpot.

Surprisingly, after eating it, Qin Yan frowned.

Lin Shuang asked, "Why? Does it stink too?"

"Mhmm, the beefy taste is too strong." Qin Yan felt weird herself. "It shouldn’t be. This is Mala [1]; it should have covered the beefy taste. And when I ate this before, I never thought that it stinks."

Qin Yan could not believe it. Without Lin Shuang saying anything, she took a piece of her favorite duck blood. The moment her tongue touched it, she almost vomited due to the stench.

Lin Shuang said hurriedly, "Okay, okay, stop trying. I think you should go for a checkup at Angel Hospital."

Qin Yan froze and Xi Ting got so frightened that he felt a chill wash over him. He could not be blamed for not thinking of other possibilities. After all, he had only recently experienced that incident where Qin Yan lost consciousness and was almost unable to wake up again. So, the moment he heard about needing to go to the hospital, Xi Ting’s first reaction was to think of the worst-case scenario.

"What’s wrong? Are you not feeling well?" Xi Ting grabbed Qin Yan’s hand.

When Qin Yan felt Xi Ting’s ice-cold hand, she said hurriedly: "I’m fine. I just don’t have much of an appetite today."

"Why didn’t you say so?" Xi Ting became really anxious. "You can’t stomach anything?"

Then that meant she was sick!

"Let’s go. Let’s hurry to the hospital." Xi Ting stood up immediately.

Xi Ting was currently worried. Qin Yan could not stomach her food and had no appetite. Could it be that her stomach had any problems? How could she go on without eating anything?

Do not think that not having an appetite is not a big deal. Anorexia can lead to life-threatening consequences if it is not treated properly. So, Xi Ting did not dare treat this lightly at all.

Lin Shuang did not know why Xi Ting was so nervous. However, seeing his tense appearance, she hurriedly explained, "Relax. I’m only guessing here, but is it possible that... Qin Yan is pregnant? So, when you two go to the hospital, don’t go around in a panic not knowing which department to go to. First, go to gynecology to have it checked."

"Preg... Pregnant?" Xi Ting stuttered.

Just a moment ago, he was worried that Qin Yan’s life was in danger. However, at the next moment, it ended up being that Qin Yan was pregnant. It could be said to be a great sorrow followed by a great joy—a great fall followed by a great rise.

Xi Ting was unexpectedly stunned silent and stayed dazed for quite a while.

Qin Yan was also so startled that she unconsciously held her stomach.

Lin Shuang said hurriedly, "I’m not very certain of it. It’s just a guess. The main point is that when I was pregnant previously, I too experienced great changes to my appetite and couldn’t eat anything with a fishy taste. Additionally, my tastebuds became extraordinarily sharp. I could even taste the slightest bit of fishiness.

"Not every pregnant woman would be like this though. No one reacts exactly the same way. But as it turns out, what Qin Yan is going through now seems more or less just like what I went through at the time. That’s why I’ve got this suspicion," Lin Shuang explained.

However, she was afraid that if Qin Yan’s and Xi Ting’s expectations were raised too high, they would be disappointed if the checkup ultimately showed that Qin Yan was not pregnant.

Lin Shuang did not know how to tell them that though. After all, a pregnancy was a happy occasion. Who would pour cold water onto someone else’s happy expectations? That would be like cursing them to not be pregnant.

Qin Yan noticed Lin Shuang’s hesitation and took the initiative to say to Xi Ting: "Then we’ll go have it checked. But I might not necessarily be pregnant. What if it’s just a stomach upset?"
