"Honey, this fish soup, do you want to drink it now or later?"

"Now! If it cools down and I heat it again, it'll lose its original nutritional value, and the fish will get tough and won't taste as good."

"Alright, let me help you up."

Xue Kai reached out to help Lin Ruoyi sit up.

But she stopped him, "No need, I can do it myself. The nurse advised me to move around a bit on my own."

"Alright then, take your time and be careful."

"Mm."

Lin Ruoyi responded and then, with a bit of effort, sat up, leaning against the pillow. She pulled the blanket over her tummy to keep warm.

Xue Kai took the takeout box from the bedside table and placed it on the folding chair in front of her.

He thoughtfully handed her a spoon and chopsticks, then helped open the lid of the takeout box.

Wafts of steam rose from the fish soup, with bits of scallions floating on top, the enticing aroma of fish soup filling the air.

Visually, this nourishing fish soup looked rich yet not greasy, the milky white broth making the pieces of white fish meat appear especially tantalizing among the floating scallions.

The aroma quickly wafted into Lin Ruoyi's nostrils.

She had drunk many fish soups, but none had such a rich aroma.

The key is... it's fragrant but not fishy!

She moved her nose and sniffed carefully.

The aroma made her shamefully crave it.

She picked up the spoon, scooped some fish soup, and put it into her mouth.

Wow!

The fish soup was so fresh, it felt like her tongue wanted to swallow it.

And this freshness wasn't from the dryness caused by too much MSG, but the natural flavor of the food itself.

The fish was delicious too!

Tender and smooth.

Not fishy at all, in fact, it was very flavorful!

Taking a bite of the tender fish and sipping some fish soup, a warmth immediately blossomed from her heart, filling her with happiness.

Her face showed a look of contentment.

Xue Kai watched his wife enjoy herself so much, then looked down at the fish soup with some doubt.

Was this bowl of fish soup really that good?

But...

It was indeed incredibly fragrant.

Back in the store, amidst the mix of meaty and spiced scents in the air, this strong fish soup aroma still stood out among the complex smells.

At the time, he worried that such intense flavor might be due to some strange seasonings, so he resisted the urge to buy an extra bowl.

Now, as he smelled it alone, watching his wife eat blissfully while he couldn't...

Damn it!

This was torture!

Lin Ruoyi inadvertently glanced over and saw her husband eagerly watching her eat, looking utterly tempted.

"Want some?"

"A little," Xue Kai admitted honestly.

"Since you behaved well today, I'll reward you with a bite~"

Lin Ruoyi scooped a spoonful of soup with a piece of white fish and brought it to Xue Kai. Just as he was about to eat it, she withdrew her hand and ate it herself.

Xue Kai: "..."

What happened to giving me a bite?

He realized that his wife's little tease was intentional.

Of course, such playful interactions are essential in life.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore, here, have a sip..."

Curiously, Xue Kai took a sip.

As soon as he tasted a bit of the fish soup, he immediately understood why his wife enjoyed it so much!

He couldn't help but open his mouth wide, consuming a whole spoonful of fish and broth.

Delicious!

Really delicious!

There was no fishy smell, yet the soup preserved the fish's fresh flavor! Though simple, the soup must involve substantial culinary skills.

No wonder his usually picky wife loved this bowl of fish soup so much.

This fish soup truly was exceptional!

"Delicious, this fish soup is amazing, even better than any five-star fish soup I've tasted."

"I regret hesitating earlier, regret stopping myself from buying another bowl, I've actually missed the chance to indulge in such delicacies!"

After finishing the fish soup, Xue Kai couldn't help but internally shed tearful strands of regret.

Even failed projects didn't make him this upset!

"Should I share more with you?"

"No, no, you drink it..."

Even if he craved more, he couldn't take away his wife and child's nourishment!

He secretly thought he must visit Delicious Restaurant the next day to have a bowl, no, to eat his way through their entire menu, to soothe his unfulfilled heart.

After finishing the soup, Lin Ruoyi was still somewhat longing.

Such delicious fish soup was worth savoring even if it didn't have any effect in the end.

"Honey, I really think the fish soup from So Delicious is clean and tastes excellent. Can you bring me a bowl every day after work?" she coquettishly suggested.

"Sure, I'll bring it back for you."

What else could Xue Kai say? Naturally, he agreed with a smile and then glanced at her chest, "Do you feel anything there?"

"How long has it been! Even if it's a miracle remedy, it wouldn't be so immediate..."

"True~" Xue Kai thought about it and found it reasonable.

The full and satisfied Lin Ruoyi yawned, "I'll lie down for a bit. When the nurse brings the baby for a feeding, please wake me up."

"Alright, you sleep first~"

Xue Kai helped adjust the blanket to cover her well.

Seeing her close her eyes to rest, he moved to the sofa, took out his laptop, and began working.

Time passed.

He didn't know how long it had been before a knock came at the door.

The nurse walked in with the baby, "Mr. Xue, you're here too! I brought the baby over, wanting Madam Xue to breastfeed more."

"Baby, did you miss daddy?" he teased his swaddled son, then gently woke his wife, "Honey, time to wake up, our son's here."

Lin Ruoyi opened her eyes, lazily, "Let me hold him."

The nurse smiled, placed the baby next to her, and just as she was about to say, "Even if there's no milk, it's okay, mainly to stimulate breast milk production by having the baby suck," she noticed Lin Ruoyi's clothes were wet.

She paused.

Was this left by someone's husband during a feeding?

She subconsciously glanced at Xue Kai across the room.

The unsuspecting Xue Kai: ???

Just as he wondered if there was dirt on his face, his wife excitedly exclaimed, "Honey, it's here, it's here, the milk's coming..."

"Huh?"

He looked down and indeed saw milk continuously seeping out!

"This... this nourishing fish soup really worked..." he expressed his surprise.

Lin Ruoyi was just as excited, "Yes! It must be the nourishing fish soup that had this effect."

The nurse was baffled by this couple.

"What nourishing fish soup?"

Lin Ruoyi explained the whole thing to the nurse.

The nurse nodded, "That's a good thing, it means this nourishing fish soup is effective for you. Try to drink more in the next few days, and if there's a continuous supply of milk, you can breastfeed."

"Okay, got it, thank you. Please leave the baby here, and could you come back to take him to the nursery in an hour?"

"Alright!"

The nurse nodded and exited, closing the door behind her.

As she headed back to the nurse's station, she encountered the Lactation Consultant coming her way.

"How's Madam Xue? Did she say she needs me to help with lactation?"

"She didn't mention it! I think she doesn't need the help now. Her milk has already come in."

"Really? It's in already?"

The Lactation Consultant was astonished.

"Yes! After having a bowl of nourishing fish soup, it's flowing..." the nurse nodded.

Lactation Consultant: "..."

Just one bowl and it worked...

This effect is indeed impressive~

Damn!

If all mothers started drinking that nourishing fish soup, wouldn't us consultants face a job crisis...

Time to learn a new skill.

After all, learning more skills is always beneficial!
