Transmigrated as the Mother of the Abused Male Lead in a Tragic Novel-Chapter 6: Chicken Custard with Sesame Oil

Ding Sha was so anxious that she didn't know what to say. Xiao Jun, who was originally looking forward to her praise, suddenly realized that her expression was wrong, "Dear, what's wrong?"

"Where did you get so much money from?" Ding Sha was worried when she saw so much money, afraid that he had just gotten out and was about to go back in again.

Only then did Xiao Jun realize what she was worried about. He quickly pulled her to sit down and gently comforted her in his arms, "Don't worry, don't worry, I'll tell you slowly."

Xiao Jun thought for a moment to organize his words, "Let me start from when we first arrived here."

"I brought you out of the village and took you so far away from home. And made you suffer so much because I didn't have the ability. I let you suffer poverty by following me."

"At that time, someone found me and told me to take the fall for his boss. As long as I agreed, he would give me a lot of money, at least one million."

Ding Sha was stunned for a moment.

Prior to this, she had imagined many reasons why Xiao Jun was put in jail, and she had also mentally prepared herself in many ways, but she had never thought that he had agreed to take the fall for someone else in order to make money.

When he was in prison, Xiao Jun also regretted it. He thought of Sha Sha and was also afraid that she would be bullied by others.

There was no going back once the bow was drawn. Xiao Jun could only grit his teeth and continue. He was even more afraid that his betrayal would implicate Ding Sha.

He would rather die than let Ding Sha get hurt.

It was not until he missed her so much that he worried about her, and also to give her the money he had obtained, that he wrote a letter. It was only when Ding Sha came that he knew that Ding Sha was already pregnant.

The unprecedented regret made him almost speechless. He could not let Ding Sha suffer the hardship of pregnancy alone, and then go through the torment of giving birth.

He found Detective Liu, who had noticed something wrong and kept trying to persuade him. The two reached an agreement to release smoke bombs so that Xiao Jun could act as bait to catch the gang in one swoop.

Only after confirming three times that there were no fish that slipped through the net did Xiao Jun cautiously retrieve the money he had originally hidden for Ding Sha and returned to this small courtyard.

Xiao Jun swore that he would take good care of Ding Sha and their child.

After listening to his whole story, Ding Sha finally breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did she realize that she was still in his arms, her face slightly flushed as she moved away, "...Then...what do you plan to do with the money?"

Ding Sha didn't know if this counted as ill-gotten gains.

Xiao Jun assured her, "It's all for you to use. Detective Liu hinted that he would turn a blind eye and let me off this once."

Only then was Ding Sha completely relieved, "Then...let's save the money. The baby will need money in the future too."

"Whatever you say." Xiao Jun didn't have any opinion at all.

Ding Sha gently stroked her belly, lost in thought. Xiao Jun's appearance was something the book had never mentioned before. She could feel that the plot had undergone an earth-shattering change for some reason.

But so far, it seemed to be a good thing.

Even if she couldn't escape the fate of difficult childbirth in the end...at least the baby wouldn't become an orphan, right?

After thinking about it for a long time, Ding Sha suddenly realized what time it was and hurriedly got up. Xiao Jun also became anxious when he saw her, "What's wrong, dear? Don't hurry, don't hurry!"

Only then did Ding Sha remember that there was still an obstacle here that prevented her from selling lunch boxes.

"I have to go and prepare the lunch boxes..." Ding Sha was too lazy to bother with him at the moment.

Xiao Jun wanted to object, but seeing the impatience and irritation between Ding Sha's brows, he swallowed his words and said instead, "Don't worry, I'll help you. Don't tire yourself out."

Ding Sha looked at Xiao Jun in some surprise. Xiao Jun gently flicked her beautiful Qiong nose, "I'm your husband, free labor."

Ding Sha raised her hand to touch her own nose, and somehow laughed along with him.

Xiao Jun was very efficient in his actions and unexpectedly skilled in his work. Dishes that usually took Ding Sha a long time to prepare, he finished in about two-thirds of the time.

In the end, Ding Sha did the cooking, but all the other work except cooking was done under Ding Sha's commands as she sat on a small stool to the side.

They arrived at the construction site on time down to the second, just like usual. The brawny construction workers were also eagerly waiting in place.

Then they saw the pretty girl suddenly had a boy next to her, they were surprised but also very jealous and anxious.

Because Ding Sha's cooking was delicious, and she looked as beautiful as a fairy, and she spoke and acted gently, everyone secretly called her the Beauty with Lunchboxes behind her back.

There were no shortage of young men on the construction site who liked her, and worked hard with the hope that one day they would pluck up the courage to confess to her.

If they could marry her...that would be too perfect!

Da Zhuang was still first in line. He looked at Ding Sha, then at Xiao Jun, who was handsome but clearly not easy to provoke. He swallowed and asked, "Miss, is this... your boyfriend?"

It was Ding Sha's first time introducing Xiao Jun to outsiders. Looking at Xiao Jun's indifferent expression towards others that became gentle when he turned to look at her, she said shyly, "He's my husband."

In an instant, Da Zhuang felt as if he heard many hearts shatter.

He couldn't help but look back at the queue of young men behind him and sighed to himself.

However, he didn't show anything on his face, but smiled and praised them for looking good together.

After hearing these words, Xiao Jun's face, which had been cold all this time, suddenly softened a little.

He had Ding Sha sit on the chair he brought to rest, then turned around and crossed his arms to occupy the main battlefield for selling lunchboxes.

One by one, the young men looked at Ding Sha longingly, glared at Xiao Jun, but it didn't affect their buying food and going to the makeshift dining area set up by their crew to enjoy the delicious meal.

Today was rushed, so Ding Sha didn't make anything too complicated.

A tomato and egg stir-fry, with red and yellow neatly arranged and looking delicious. The tomatoes were sweet and sour, and the eggs were large pieces that were very tender and flavorful.

A shredded pork with green peppers, the peppers turned a deeper green after being sautéed in hot oil, and the thinly sliced ??marinated pork was plentiful and long, combining to create an irresistible aroma.

Finally a cold cucumber salad, dotted with bright red chili powder, still with that refreshing spicy and appetizing flavor.

The only downside was that it was very dangerous for the rice, leaving one feeling unsatisfied at the end.

After Xiao Jun sold all the lunchboxes, he tidied up and prepared to take Ding Sha home to rest.

Ding Sha was actually a little introverted, and didn't always know how to handle other people's concern. She was a little confused, but she was indeed a little tired, so she still followed Xiao Jun's suggestion.

As soon as they returned home, Xiao Jun settled her in a reclining chair in the yard, poured a cup of warm brown sugar water beside her, and brought a small blanket to cover her, "Rest first? After I finish cleaning up, I'll take a walk with you."

Although it was an inquiring tone, it was an uncompromising attitude.

Ding Sha had no choice but to obey and lie down, blowing the warm summer breeze, and rocking drowsily.

Seeing that she had closed her eyes, Xiao Jun also lightened his footsteps. His hands and feet swiftly tidied up the somewhat dirty kitchen, then patrolled around and secretly made a mental note of what else needed to be added in terms of furniture.

When everything was done, he looked back and saw Ding Sha's forehead beaded with sweat, knowing that she was not sleeping well, so he sat down on the small stool next to her with a fan.

Carefully and gently fanned her with the fan.

As if he could never look enough at her tranquil and beautiful sleeping face.

Ding Sha only felt that this was the most reassuring and comfortable sleep she had since transmigrating into the book. She was not hot, and her body did not feel heavy either.

When she woke up groggily, she saw Xiao Jun still sitting next to her, fanning her with the fan.

"Xiao Jun?" Sleepiness had not yet dissipated, and Ding Sha's words were a little hoarse.

It was so cute that it made Xiao Jun's heart fill with love.

"I'm here." He said softly.

"What time is it now? Why didn't you wake me up?" Ding Sha rubbed her eyes coquettishly.

The sunset slanted to the west, and the horizon was dyed red by the sunset glow. One look and you could tell it was getting late.

"It's almost seven, time for dinner," Xiao Jun said as he helped her sit up, his fingers running through her loose hair. "Hungry?"

Ding Sha felt her stomach. She really was starting to feel a bit hungry.

Xiao Jun touched her forehead and then her cheeks, making sure she didn't have a fever before standing up. "Wait for me."

Ding Sha watched his retreating figure blankly, feeling a little confused.

Soon after, Xiao Jun returned with a small bowl.

"Eat up," he said, crouching down and bringing the bowl up to Ding Sha.

"What is this?" Ding Sha asked curiously, reaching out to take it but Xiao Jun dodged her grasp.

"It's hot," Xiao Jun told her. "I'll hold it. You just eat slowly."

Ding Sha lifted the lid and was hit with the salty aroma of boiled eggs mixed with soy sauce. The fragrance of sesame oil could also be detected, along with the red of tomato chunks sprinkled on top.

It made her mouth water just looking at it.

Ding Sha immediately felt a surge of appetite. She eagerly scooped up a spoonful and shoved it into her mouth.

Hot and tasty.

She opened her mouth to let out air, but couldn't bear to spit the egg custard back out.

Afraid she might burn her tongue, Xiao Jun brought his hand to her mouth. "Spit it out, spit it out..."

Ding Sha stubbornly shook her head and swallowed it down after a few chews.

Seeing her staring pitifully at him like a greedy little kitten, Xiao Jun couldn't help but laugh.

"Is it too hot?"

Ding Sha covered her mouth and nodded.

"It's so tasty, Xiao Jun."

But she still scooped up another spoonful and stuffed it in her mouth, savoring it with relish.

There wasn't much in the bowl, and she soon finished it all. Xiao Jun washed the bowl and came back, crouching beside Ding Sha with a hesitant look.

"Dear, let's go to the hospital tomorrow for a prenatal checkup, alright?"
