After Huan Qing Yan closed the shop, Little Treasure dashed out to Wang Niu Niu’s place to play.

Shortly after Huan Qing Yan closed the door of the shop, sounds of knocking were heard.

Huan Qing Yan released her divine sense and was surprised to see that it was Guard Captain Liu!

She opened the door of the shop again.

Before she could ask anything, Guard Captain Liu tried to pull Huan Qing Yan’s sleeves to bring her out.

However, before he could get close to Huan Qing Yan, her figure blurred and distanced a couple of meters away from him.

Guard Captain Liu was surprised, he did not expect Huan Qing Yan to have reacted so quickly and for her body to move that sharply.

However, this was not something he could currently ponder about.

He excitedly said, “This sister. Your Steam Layered Cake is truly exceptional. My wife has been vomiting everything she ate before today, only when she ate your Steam Layered Cake did nothing happen.”

Huan Qing Yan could not help but recall that she had morning sickness when she was pregnant with Little Treasure as well.

This man only acted so rudely because he adores his wife!

That was why Huan Qing Yan decided not to fuss about what happened for now.

If not, she would have retaliated against this male stranger who did such invasive actions at her.

“I am happy that the food from our shop has helped you. Please continue to buy more tomorrow.”

Guard Captain Liu displayed a bitter face, “This sister, I cannot wait till tomorrow. Can you please help me today and take a look at my wife? We have been married for ten years without a child, causing people in and out of the home to gossip about her, she had it very tough as well! Now that she had finally gotten pregnant, she treated the pregnancy as something even more important than her life. If her morning sickness results in the loss of the baby, she might not want to continue living.”

When Huan Qing Yan heard Guard Captain Liu’s words, she could not help but recall her deep motherly love for Little Treasure after he was born.

This triggered her heart of compassion.

“May I ask if you have sought a doctor’s advice before?”

“I did, but it is useless. I know your family is new to this town and I have not interacted much with you, but please. My house really needs this child to be born… I can give you money, as long as you can help nurse my wife’s body and allow her to safely give birth to the baby, I am willing to pay ten silvers! I can give one silver as down payment first…” Guard Captain Liu was out of ideas.

Ten silvers were equivalent to one year’s worth of hard work as a guard escort.

The last time he returned home was a month ago. At that time, Lord Treasure Snack Bar has yet to open.

Guard Captain Liu learnt that his wife was pregnant during the midst of an escort, and excitedly rushed back home over multiple nights. Only to see the scene of his wife continually vomiting…

He had invited Doctor Zhou of this town to take a look, but it was useless. All the doctor replied was that this was normal behaviour and she would be fine after vomiting.

Yet when he saw his wife’s expression and state, it did not look like regular vomiting at all. During that moment of helplessness, he learnt that Lord Treasure Snack Bar sells delicious food that could nurture the body. That was why he came visiting to try his luck. In the end, after returning home with the Steam Layered Cake, his wife peacefully consumed the food without vomiting.

That was why he returned back in a hurry.

Huan Qing Yan was silent for a moment, “I do not need the money. I am also not a doctor, all I know is to make some snacks. I cannot guarantee that I can cure your wife and can only take a look at her first and try cooking some food suitable for pregnant women to eat.”

Guard Captain Liu displayed a disappointed expression, but after some pondering, it was indeed the truth. It was already good enough that the other party was willing to take a look at his wife.
