He scooped two spoonfuls from his cup into the coffee cup, stirred it gently for a while, tasted it with the spoon, and thought it was alright before handing the cup to Zhou Xuan.
Zhou Xuan took the cup and noticed a faint red lipstick mark on the rim. He then looked up at Wei Xiaoyu, whose face was radiant and her lips had a subtle sheen. Seeing Wei Xiaoyu's alluring appearance, his heart fluttered. He lowered his head and took a small sip of coffee, using the lipstick mark on the rim of the cup as a starting point.
When you put coffee in your mouth, you first taste a slight bitterness, then sweetness, and finally aroma.
When Wei Xiaoyu saw that Zhou Xuan didn't turn away from the spot where her lip print was, but instead opened his mouth to drink coffee right in front of that print, she couldn't help but smile, her face full of happiness.
Zhou Xuan sipped his coffee, then looked at Wei Xiaoyu's happy expression. A warm feeling welled up inside him. He wondered if this was what happiness truly meant. Although he had lost his memories, he felt that the girl in front of him was the most precious thing he had.
After the waiter brought out the dishes, Zhou Xuan was taken aback. There was crab, steak, lobster with rice, a beef soup, and a yogurt salad. Since Zhou Xuan didn't know English, Wei Xiaoyu ordered a double steak.
Zhou Xuan smiled and shrugged, indicating that Wei Xiaoyu should eat first, and that he would finish his coffee before eating. Wei Xiaoyu didn't try to stop him, picked up her knife and fork, and started eating, devouring the steak, crab, and lobster. Then she started eating large mouthfuls of yogurt and fruit salad. Zhou Xuan watched in astonishment.
When did Wei Xiaoyu develop such a large appetite? At this rate, she'll probably gain weight very soon. Wei Xiaoyu herself seems unaware of this, as she eats while saying to Zhou Xuan, "Why aren't you eating? This fruit salad is especially delicious, sweet and sour, you should try some."
Zhou Xuan shook his head and waved his hand, saying, "No, you eat, I'm not hungry." Seeing Wei Xiaoyu eating like this, with such a good appetite, Zhou Xuan found it strange. He had never seen Wei Xiaoyu like this before. It didn't seem like she was sick, did it? Logically speaking, when you're sick, you shouldn't have a good appetite and be unable to eat. How can someone who is sick eat like this?
By the time Wei Xiaoyu finished eating, Zhou Xuan had also just finished his coffee. After sitting for a while, they paid the bill and left. Once outside the restaurant, Wei Xiaoyu said reproachfully, "Why didn't you eat anything? I ate so much by myself, it was so embarrassing."
Although Wei Xiaoyu said something rather embarrassing, she didn't really mean to blame Zhou Xuan. Then, she muttered to herself, feeling strange, "It's been weird these past few days. I always feel hungry and want to eat, but I get hungry again after eating for a while. It's a strange feeling."
Zhou Xuan was taken aback, and quickly said, "Then let's go to the hospital for a check-up to see if there's anything wrong. If there is, we need to get treatment, so we can't delay."
Wei Xiaoyu opened her mouth as if to object, but her lips moved and she ultimately remained silent. For some time now, she had been trying her best to change her personality, to stop being as willful as before, and to do everything for Zhou Xuan.
They hailed a taxi and headed to the hospital. In the car, Zhou Xuan used his supernatural abilities to examine Wei Xiaoyu's body. Strangely, her bodily functions were all normal, and there was nothing unusual about her blood or aura.
Zhou Xuan felt relieved, but he was not a doctor after all and did not know much about medical skills and pathology. His superpower could heal injuries, but he was not a doctor who understood medical principles. If it was some kind of strange disease, he would not be able to find out. It would be better to go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination.
At the hospital, Wei Xiaoyu and Zhou Xuan were seen by an elderly white doctor with a deep nose and blue eyes. He asked them many questions, and Wei Xiaoyu answered him fluently in English. Then the elderly white doctor smiled slightly, said something in a low voice, and then beckoned a nurse in.
The nurse handed Wei Xiaoyu a small glass bottle. Wei Xiaoyu blushed and went into the inner room. After a while, she came out shyly and handed the small bottle back to the nurse.
Zhou Xuan noticed some pale yellow liquid in the glass bottle, paused for a moment, then suddenly realized, what's so strange about that? It's just a urine test.
A few minutes later, the nurse brought out the test results. Zhou Xuan was a little surprised. How could the test be done so quickly?
The old doctor took the test results and looked at them. Then he smiled and said a few words to Wei Xiaoyu. Wei Xiaoyu was stunned at first, then her face turned red, and then she became excited. She held the report and stared at it for a long time, just in a daze.
Zhou Xuan asked in surprise, "Xiaoyu, what's wrong? You're perfectly fine. I don't believe you have any illness. What's this old doctor saying?"
Zhou Xuan was getting anxious, while Wei Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment before blushing and saying, "Never mind, let's go. I'm not sick, I'm just a little tired. Let's go back and rest."
Zhou Xuan said "Oh," and then added, "I knew it! You're perfectly fine, you can eat and jump all you want, how could you be sick?"
On the way back, Wei Xiaoyu suddenly said to Zhou Xuan, "Zhou Xuan, do you know what the driver said when we came here?"
Seeing Wei Xiaoyu's smiling yet expectant expression, Zhou Xuan chuckled and replied, "How would I know? It's all because I didn't study well back then. If I had good grades, I probably would have understood."
Zhou Xuan was just saying it casually; Wei Xiaoyu was waiting for him to ask on purpose. She was sure she would tell him herself if he didn't ask. Sure enough, when he said that, Wei Xiaoyu's face showed a slight disappointment. After a moment of silence, she said it herself: "That driver said... said I'm very pretty."
Zhou Xuan readily replied, "I suspected that was my guess from the start, and it turned out to be true. You could tell from the driver's expression and eyes."
Wei Xiaoyu chuckled and said, "So you figured that out? But could you guess what the old doctor just said?"
"This...?" Zhou Xuan pondered for a moment, still unable to guess. The old doctor's words and the driver's words did not even have the same tone, so it should not be what he said. Besides, the old doctor looked very old and did not look like a young man with a lecherous appearance. Could it be that Wei Xiaoyu really has some kind of illness?
But looking at Wei Xiaoyu's rosy complexion and joyful expression, she didn't seem like someone who was sick at all.
"I really can't guess..." After a while, Zhou Xuan still couldn't guess, so he could only shake his head and answer, letting Wei Xiaoyu tell him herself. If he couldn't guess and didn't ask, Wei Xiaoyu would definitely tell him herself.
Wei Xiaoyu bit her lip, but held back from saying anything. When the car arrived at the hotel, she and Zhou Xuan went into the hotel lobby and took the elevator. As the elevator indicator slowly rose and there was no one else around, Zhou Xuan noticed that Wei Xiaoyu's expression was becoming increasingly shy. It was really strange. What was wrong with her?
Prince Thuruk had no scheduled activities today and was meeting with an old friend, so he didn't need many guards. The wealthy in England have always been heavily guarded, so Zhou Xuan wasn't brought along and was only summoned for crucial occasions.
Prince Tuluk was afraid that Zhou Xuan would feel that he couldn't live without him, so a little distance would be better. If Zhou Xuan didn't bring it up himself, that would be even better.
Zhou Xuan himself certainly wouldn't bring it up; he didn't want to be in the spotlight for everything.
After returning to his room, Zhou Xuan closed the door and then used his special ability to carefully check whether there were any eavesdropping or surveillance devices in the room. Fortunately, there were no surveillance devices in the room, including the bathroom.
Zhou Xuan wondered what the old doctor had said to Wei Xiaoyu. He pondered for a while but couldn't figure it out. He chuckled and demurred, saying, "I can't guess. Tell me."
Wei Xiaoyu blushed, her shyness intensifying. After a moment of embarrassment, she still managed to say, "Zhou Xuan, do you know... you're going to be a father!"
Zhou Xuan didn't react for a moment, and was stunned for a moment. When he understood the meaning of those words, he suddenly became excited, even more excited than Wei Xiaoyu herself, and even became somewhat incoherent: "You... Xiao... Xiaoyu, you... are you telling the truth?"
Wei Xiaoyu no longer hesitated, but nodded and said seriously, "It's true. The doctor confirmed it at the hospital just now. The test results show that I... I'm five and a half weeks pregnant."
Wei Xiaoyu was referring to what the doctor had told her. At the hospital, she had also been somewhat skeptical and hadn't quite grasped the meaning. Later, she realized that what she was saying now was exactly what the doctor had said. Zhou Xuan's mind didn't immediately process this either. Five and a half weeks and one month and ten days—the meanings were the same, but his immediate reaction was completely different.

Chapter 495 An Encounter in a Foreign Land
"I'm going to be a dad, I'm going to be a dad..." Zhou Xuan murmured, his mind a blank, unsure whether it was happiness or panic. This event had come so suddenly that he wasn't prepared at all.
However, seeing Wei Xiaoyu's excited and happy face, Zhou Xuan felt a strange excitement, but also a heavy feeling. Xiaoyu was pregnant, which meant he would have an extra sense of responsibility. Even if they were living apart, it was still a small home, and he was the pillar of the family. What would happen to Xiaoyu if something happened to him?
Even Wei Xiaoyu, who always seemed strong and tough, appeared fragile in Zhou Xuan's eyes. Seeing her clutching her lower abdomen in a blissful state, her eyes filled with maternal tenderness, Zhou Xuan suddenly felt a warmth in his heart.
Yes, he felt the urge to be a father, a thought he had never had before. At that moment, tenderness welled up in Zhou Xuan's heart.
Wei Xiaoyu's face was full of happiness. In Zhou Xuan's eyes, she was just an ordinary little woman.
Seeing Zhou Xuan's stunned expression, Wei Xiaoyu suddenly said, "No wonder I've been feeling hungry all the time these past few days, constantly wanting to eat. It turns out... it turns out... it's for two people."
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Eat whatever you want. If you still want to eat, I'll buy it for you, okay?" Zhou Xuan quickly comforted her. She's a good girl, she likes to eat delicious food, but she's afraid of getting fat and losing her figure. She's always been in a state of anxiety and fear.
