Chapter 51 - The Empress is 'Pregnant'

Buuurp~

Having eaten and drunk her fill, Long Yue leaned back in her seat, patted her round, bulging tummy, and contentedly let out a satisfied burp.

Lin Fan and the surrounding patrons were all stunned. Most of the eyes in the entire buffet restaurant were fixed on her.

From the moment she entered the buffet restaurant, for nearly a full hour, she had been eating continuously without stopping at all!

If the boiled and grilled meat wasn't ready, she would first eat the cooked food. After finishing the cooked food, she would supplement with desserts and fruits. She drank eight cans of soda alone!

Although she didn't eat all the food in the buffet restaurant, the beef and lamb in the cooked food and frozen meat sections were basically wiped clean by her alone.

Her originally slender waist was now bulging as high as a small hill, looking as if her clothes were about to burst…

In her current state, if she were to take a bus or subway, even a child would have to give up their seat for her...

“I'm full, let's go~”

After resting for a short moment, Long Yue pushed herself up from the table and slowly stood up.

She was so stuffed from eating that she had difficulty walking; she needed to hold onto the wall with every step.

Afraid she might lose her footing and fall, Lin Fan quickly went to her side to support her.

“Even if it's a buffet, you don't have to force yourself to eat until you're this stuffed.”

“What are you talking about? This was a meal that This Empress spent over a thousand yuan on. Of course I had to get my money's worth!”

Long Yue grumbled in dissatisfaction as she shuffled her feet carefully, turning the blame back on them:

“It's you two who ate so little, making This Empress have to eat your share to get the money's worth back as well.”

Lin Fan: “…”

Zhou Yan: “…”

The sudden accusation left both Lin Fan and Zhou Yan speechless.

She was obviously the one who wanted to eat, so how could she blame it on them…

Besides, the two of us were busy boiling and grilling meat for you the whole time, what time did we have to eat...

“Thank you for your patronage, the deposit will be automatically returned to your account shortly…”

The waitress at the buffet restaurant's front desk dazedly watched the three of them leave, her gaze fixed on Long Yue's large, protruding belly. She looked back at her own restaurant with a confused expression.

Her place is a buffet restaurant, right? Not an OB-GYN clinic...

How did she go in as a slender, slim young lady and come out with such a big belly…

“Let's find a place to sit down and rest for a bit first.”

After leaving the buffet restaurant, Lin Fan helped Long Yue to a random outdoor milk tea shop in the shopping center to sit down.

They had only intended to sit down and rest for a moment, but when Long Yue saw everyone around her with a cup of milk tea, she was suddenly tempted.

“I'm going to buy a cup of milk tea, what do you guys want?”

“You can still drink more?!”

Lin Fan and Zhou Yan looked at her in great shock, afraid that she might actually stuff herself to death by accident.

“Hmph, it's just this much. Don't you underestimate me!”

Long Yue snorted, turned, and walked to the front counter of the milk tea shop. After briefly Browse the menu above, she placed her order:

“Hello, I'd like one Slightly Tipsy Milk Tea.”

“Uh…”

The milk tea shop employee looked at Long Yue's belly, and with a troubled expression, said apologetically:

“I'm sorry, ma'am, but the Slightly Tipsy Milk Tea contains alcohol. Pregnant women cannot drink it, and we are strictly forbidden from selling it to them…”

“Hah?!”

Long Yue's expression froze. When she processed it, her pretty face flushed crimson, and she flew into a rage from shame and embarrassment, demanding:

“I am NOT a pregnant woman, okay!”

“Take a closer look! Where do I look like a pregnant woman!”

The employee timidly pointed at Long Yue's round, bulging belly.

“But your belly…?”

“Hah! This is just from accidentally eating a little too much just now! It's not because I'm…!”

Long Yue patted her own large belly, explaining with a blushing face.

She was about to die from anger!

Being mistaken for the Demon Sovereign's woman when she was out was one thing, but now she was actually being treated like a pregnant woman!

She's never even been married, okay!

The employee was skeptical, unsure if what Long Yue said was true or false, and for a moment didn't dare to agree to the sale.

After all, could a normal person really eat until their belly got this big?

“Alright, alright, stop making a scene. Let me take over.”

Lin Fan stepped forward, half-pushing and half-coaxing Long Yue away from the counter. He then returned, held up his fingers to the employee, and ordered:

“Two lemon teas, please, and one Slightly Tipsy Milk Tea.”

“Oh, okay.”

The employee quickly placed the order on the screen and then turned to start making the drinks.

Since the person ordering had changed to an adult man, they naturally had no reason to refuse.

Because there weren't many people ordering, the three milk teas were quickly prepared.

Lin Fan carried the three drinks back to the table. He handed a cup of lemon tea to Zhou Yan, and then passed the Slightly Tipsy Milk Tea to Long Yue.

“Here, yours.”

“Mmm… thanks.”

Long Yue took the milk tea and, while still sulking, took a few gentle sips.

In the Immortal Realm, she occasionally had to attend banquets, so she had drunk a lot of alcohol and could hold her liquor well, but this was her first time trying a milk tea mixed with alcohol.

The rich, fragrant flavor of the milk tea mingled with the faint, tipsy aroma of alcohol. The two flavors combined to create a rather unique sensation in her mouth.

On account of the milk tea tasting pretty good, she reluctantly decided not to pursue the matter of the employee's rudeness to her.

“Lin Fan, is it really okay for sister-in-law to be drinking like that…?”

Seeing Long Yue down half the milk tea in a few gulps, Zhou Yan couldn't help but lean over to Lin Fan, concerned.

She ate so much at the buffet just now, and now she's downing a large cup of milk tea, an alcoholic one at that. A normal person would have thrown up long ago…

“It's fine. If she likes to drink it, just let her drink.”

Lin Fan glanced at Long Yue, and after a moment's hesitation, chose to indulge her.

The kid just got her salary today and is happy. Eating a bit more, drinking a bit more, a little revenge spending is normal…

“Alright then, I'll go get the car and bring it over.”

“You two sit here a while longer. When I'm out, I'll send you a message, and you and sister-in-law can just come find me by the roadside. I'll drive you guys home first.”

Since Lin Fan had said so, Zhou Yan didn't say anything more. He got up and went to the parking lot to get the car.

“Mm, thanks a lot.”

Lin Fan said his thanks and sat there, keeping Long Yue company as she drank her milk tea.

Buuurp~

Long Yue let out another satisfied burp and looked reluctantly at the last mouthful of milk tea left in her cup.

No, I can't… It feels like I really can't drink anymore…

“If you can't drink anymore, don't force it. Let's just leave the rest.”

Lin Fan saw her struggle and tried to persuade her.

“Who says I can't drink anymore? I'm just taking a little break, that's all!”

Long Yue's delicate brows furrowed, and she continued to sip at her straw.

This 'Slightly Tipsy Milk Tea' cost several tens of yuan!

This was bought with real, hard-earned money. It can't be wasted!
