Chapter 9 (Part 2)

She had previously read several physiology books, one of which was called "Health China Campaign - Rural Health Knowledge Series: Health Care." This book mainly covered how pregnant individuals should take care of themselves and some precautions during the childbearing period.

Since learning about Li Zhenguan's pregnancy, she had read this book again. Regardless of whether she liked this person or not, since she had decided to take on this responsibility, she wouldn't back down or be timid. Within her capabilities, she would try her best to do the best she could.

She had always been that kind of person.

While ordering, Li Zhenguan heard Wang Zhao's voice and looked up, meeting her gaze.

Wang Zhao asked, "Have you finished ordering?"

"Yes," Li Zhenguan put down the menu. "I've ordered four dishes. Crab roe lion's head meatballs, steamed shad with rice wine, Longjing shrimp, and chicken broth with shredded tofu."

Wang Zhao couldn't help but glance at Li Zhenguan upon hearing this. He still had a smile on his face and asked, "What's wrong?"

She came back to her senses and also smiled, casually saying, "Nothing, it's just quite a coincidence. Our tastes are very similar." Then she turned to the waiter standing nearby and said, "For the main course, we'll have Yuhua tangyuan with scallion pancakes."

After saying this, she looked back at Li Zhenguan, "Is there anything else you'd like to order?"

He shook his head, "This is enough."

As the waiter was leaving, the tea had also been replaced with warm plain water. She checked the temperature before pouring a cup and placing it in front of Li Zhenguan.

The man softly said, "Thank you."

Wang Zhao suddenly found this interesting.

Throughout their interaction, it was clear that the two of them weren't very familiar with each other, yet they were already at the point of marriage. Even though she was mature and usually decisive, she couldn't help but feel a sense of unfamiliarity at this moment.

It was as if a train was running on its tracks when suddenly a fork appeared ahead, and after hesitating for a moment at the junction, she made a decision.

Sometimes, she would also doubt herself, wondering if her current decision was the right one, if the track she had chosen was the correct one. Of course, this wouldn't affect her, but occasionally she would feel momentarily lost.

Wang Zhao believed that most people would feel the same way.

In the end, they didn't finish all the dishes they ordered. During the meal, Li Zhenguan went to the bathroom once, and when he returned, his complexion didn't look good. After that, aside from drinking a few sips of water, Wang Zhao noticed that he barely touched his chopsticks again.

She thought for a moment and understood. He was about three months pregnant now, likely still experiencing morning sickness.

She hadn't considered this thoroughly enough.

So, she quickly finished her own dinner, ate a few more bites, and then stopped. She had the remaining dishes packed up by the waiter.

Standing up, she said to the pale-faced man, "Let's go."
