Chapter 1615: Chapter 1615 - Can’t Wait Any Longer

The servants stocked the kitchen with various supplies immediately. There was barely any room left in the fridge.

“That’s more than enough. Please don’t buy anything else for the time being.”

Jing Xi felt that they had got enough supplies for a whole week. With Auntie Lan taking care of the boy, she started cooking for him right away.

Since he was still not feeling well, she decided to cook something light today.

It was seafood congee along with yummy side dishes.

Inside the room, Little Grape smelled the food and asked, “Grandma Lan, what is Auntie Xiaoxi cooking for me? It smells so good!”

Auntie Lan smiled and poked him slightly on his nose. “It indeed smells good. She’s definitely cooking something yummy for you and the little eater in you.”

“I can’t wait any longer!”

“OK. I’ll go check it out for you.”

Auntie Lan peeped into the kitchen and said, “The little one said he couldn’t wait any longer.”

“Sure, sure. It’s almost ready. Coming soon.”

Jing Xi poured the congee into a bowl and plated the dishes. Then she put them on a tray and brought it to the boy.

Auntie Lan opened the foldable table and helped her place the dishes on top.

Little Grape sat up and sniffed the dishes. “Wow! They smell so good!”

“Come on, let me help you.”

Auntie Lan held the bowl and spoon and was about to feed him.

But Little Grape hesitated and turned to Jing Xi. “I want Auntie Xiaoxi.”

“Fine, fine. Here comes Auntie Xiaoxi.” Auntie Lan laughed and gave the bowl to Jin Xiaoxi. “Xiaoxi, here you go. Thank you.”

“No worries. Let me take care of it.” Jing Xi took the bowl and told Auntie Lan before she started, “Auntie Lan, I made our dinner too. You can go have yours first. When you finish I’d imagine I will almost be done here.”

“Oh, thank you! I didn’t know you also prepared mine!”

Auntie Lan was surprised. They had to have dinner in turns so as to take care of the boy. Therefore she went gratefully to have her dinner first.

When Auntie Lan was back, Jing Xi had almost finished feeding the boy too.

Little Grape had a very good appetite. He finished the seafood congee and most of the side dishes. He enjoyed whatever his Auntie Xiaoxi cooked for him.

Auntie Lan came back to see this and was shocked again. “Who said our little prince was picky? See how much he had today!”

“Indeed, I think he’s got quite an appetite!”

Jing Xi wondered if it could be because the royal chefs did not find what the boy really liked.

They applied high cooking standards for the royal family, but forgot about the true meaning of cooking. To please people’s taste buds was the highest standard.

Jing Xi stayed in the hospital until evening came. Then she had to head home.

“Sweetheart, Auntie has to go home now.”

Seeing her getting ready to leave, Little Grape became nervous and got hold of her clothes in a rush. “Why? Don’t leave! Auntie Xiaoxi!”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Auntie is not leaving, I’m just going home. I’ll be back tomorrow.”

“But why?”

“Because I’ve got a little boy at home too. He’s also waiting for his mom. If I don’t go home he will be scared.”

Hearing that Auntie Xiaoxi was going home for her little boy, Little Grape felt very jealous. He wanted a mother like Auntie Xiaoxi. He wished that she could always stay with her.

“But... what if you don’t come back tomorrow?”

Little Grape was more worried about not seeing her again.

“No way. I promise you, I’m coming back!”

“Seriously? Let’s do a pinky swear!”
