Chapter 2249: Chapter 2080: Secretary Li (Part 3)
"Xianling, it’s not just that I’m doing something for General Zhao. It’s a mutually beneficial arrangement. Last time, it was General Zhao who helped our Dragon Gate. If General Zhao hadn’t informed us, the Corpse Infant would’ve been taken away by the Dark Night Sect, causing big trouble for us in the future." Song Xiaodong said to Chu Xianling.
"But in the end, that Corpse Infant still ended up in someone else’s hands." Sun Yiyi said.
"That woman’s skills are great; even the Young Taoist doesn’t dare to underestimate her. Having the Corpse Infant with her is better, since others couldn’t handle it. Maybe the Dark Night Sect wanted the Corpse Infant but found that they couldn’t win against her." Song Xiaodong said.
"Hmm..."
"But why did Ruonan have the authority to let you out?" Chu Xianling asked Song Xiaodong.
"General Zhao doesn’t have the authority, but someone does." Song Xiaodong said.
"Who?" Chu Xianling and Sun Yiyi asked.
"You’ve seen him." Song Xiaodong said to Chu Xianling and Sun Yiyi.
"Where could we have seen such a big figure?" Sun Yiyi said.
"You definitely have, just didn’t know he’s a big shot."
"Stop keeping us in suspense, it’s time for dinner!" Miao Qingqing said impatiently.
"Old Li, remember when we were in Lop Nur?" Song Xiaodong said.
"Old Li? Him? I remember, but does he really have that much authority?" Chu Xianling asked in surprise.
"Honestly, even now I don’t know what rank he exactly holds." Song Xiaodong said with a wry smile.
"Wow..."
At this moment, Song Xiaoru carefully walked over carrying a pot of soup and said to everyone, "Make some room, don’t get burned!"
A group of women gathered around.
It was the potato soup Song Xiaodong had been clamoring for since morning.
"Sis, this looks too bland, not even soy sauce?" Miao Qingqing looked at the clear soup and asked Song Xiaoru.
"Xiaodong just likes drinking this."
"Wow, Sis, you made so much?" Song Xiaodong also leaned over and saw a big bowl, or rather a big pot.
"With so many people, it’ll be gone with just one bowl per person." Song Xiaoru answered.
"They definitely won’t like it." Song Xiaodong said.
"Then you’ll have it all yourself." Song Xiaoru said.
"Okay!"
At the dining table, the curious group of women still each took a bowl.
"No real flavor, just the taste of potatoes." Miao Qingqing smacked her lips and said.
Chapter 2082: The Whole Family are Chubbies
"Potato soup is simply soup made from potatoes." Song Xiaodong said.
"Hey hey hey, I’ve seen that video too!"
"If you love potatoes, of course you’d love potato soup."
"When we were kids, the family wasn’t well off, potatoes were cheap and filling, so I often made soup for Xiaodong." Song Xiaoru said.
"Didn’t I say you wouldn’t like it, growing up spoiled, how could you like it." Song Xiaodong said.
"Just because someone is wealthy doesn’t mean they stop eating potatoes, does it?" Chu Xianling retorted.
Song Xiaodong also took a bowl, had a sip, smacked his lips, and said, "Sis, it’s really not good."
"Really?" Song Xiaoru also took a sip, tasted it, and said, "Yeah, doesn’t taste like before."
"Sis, haven’t you cooked for ages?" Song Xiaodong asked.
"We have a housekeeper, why should I cook? Her skills aren’t worse than mine, are they?" Song Xiaoru replied to Song Xiaodong.
"Makes sense why it tastes bad." Song Xiaodong said.
"You’re complaining, unlike when you were a kid, now you have a better life and your mouth’s gotten picky." Song Xiaoru said.
"Sis, it really tasted better when we were kids."
....
After the meal, everyone lay back on the sofa, digesting.
"Ugh, going to get fat again." Miao Qingqing said, touching her stomach.
"Why are you worried? It’s just the baby growing." Song Xiaoru said to Miao Qingqing.
"Not just the belly, my waist’s getting thicker too." Miao Qingqing said.
"Xiaodong, can you make a medicine for weight loss?" Chu Xianling asked Song Xiaodong.
"I can."
"Really?"
The group of women sat up, looking at Song Xiaodong.
"Of course, Director Qiao once asked me about it. I told her that fatness isn’t due to excessive nutrition, instead it’s because the body isn’t in good health, so it decides it needs to store fat, hence becoming fat."
"What nonsense! Eat a lot and you get fat, why all the reasoning?" Miao Qingqing asked.
"Believe it or not." Song Xiaodong shrugged.
"Xiaodong, can you make some weight loss medicine for us? We’re really getting fat!" Sun Yiyi also said.
"Gaining weight is normal, honestly. If you’re afraid of gaining weight, eat less and exercise more. Why take diet pills?" Song Xiaoru said to everyone.
"I don’t like exercising..." Sun Yiyi lazily lay motionless on the sofa.
"See, lazy as this, how could you not get fat?" Song Xiaoru pointed at Sun Yiyi and said.
"Sis, you’re also getting fat!" Sun Yiyi said between sleep and awake.
"Really?" Song Xiaoru quickly got up, twisting her waist, examining herself up and down.
"Sis, you’re not fat!" Song Xiaodong said, pinching Song Xiaoru’s waist.
"Let go! I haven’t digested the meal yet!" Song Xiaoru slapped Song Xiaodong’s hand away.
"Sis, your waist was thinner before!" Xiao Yingying said.
"Oh no, our whole family is turning into chubbies." Miao Qingqing said, looking at her belly.
"Why isn’t Xiaodong getting fat?" Li Sijie asked.
"Hehehe, because he exercises with you all every night, how could he get fat." Miao Xuanxuan laughed.
"Well... exercise is mutual, you all move too." Song Xiaodong said.
"We just spread our legs, what’s the exercise in that?" Sun Yiyi turned over and asked Song Xiaodong.
