When Xing Lixuan appeared, the live chat exploded with comments.

Chili Chicken: Was that fleeting figure Xing Lixuan?!

Green Beans: It's him!

Durian Candy: What did Xing Lixuan call Yu Antong?!

Glass Beads: OMG~ "baby", such an endearing name, I can't even!

Dimple: Just hearing Xing Lixuan say "baby" made me scream with excitement, I can't stop grinning!

Born Rich: Xing Lixuan's voice is so captivating, even more so than the SSS-tier characters I've spent real money on!

Papaya Meat: Clearly, Xing Lixuan has often helped Yu Antong in the kitchen.

Fried Lima Beans: Who would have thought the usually stern and authoritative Xing Lixuan had such a domestic side?

As Yu Antong stir-fried the pork with green peppers, he completely forgot he was still on live stream, saying, "Let's skip the broccoli today; store it in the fridge."

The spicy crayfish just out of the pot wafted an irresistible aroma, making Yu Antong crave a bite, but he was too busy cooking to attend to it.

He said to Xing Lixuan, "Honey, can you peel some crayfish for me? I'd love to taste it."

"Open your mouth." Xing Lixuan promptly peeled one and fed it to him, followed by several more.

Sweet Rice Wine Balls: Oh my! Yu Antong's voice is so charming! Did he forget he's still on live stream?

Crossing Bridge Rice Noodles: Yu Antong is a genius. Who can resist that intimate and sweet, yet genuine tone? No wonder Xing Lixuan spoils him!

Craving Mooncakes: Even I, a girl, can't match him. I wish I had that MAX lethal charm!

Sticky Rice Ball: I want such an adorable guy too!

Glowing Ruby: They were already so sweet on "The Culinary God Has Arrived!", but off-screen they're 100 times sweeter!

Spare Key: I also want to eat crayfish, and be fed by someone!

Spare Key: Do I deserve this? Can I charm like Yu Antong? I don't! I'm just worthy of crying with my sour lemon!

Pan-Fried Bun: Proof! Yu Antong's weight gain is definitely because of Xing Lixuan’s pampering!

Glittering Crayfish: Hahaha, confirmed! I saw it and even took a screenshot.

After relishing several spicy and flavorful crayfish pieces, Yu Antong contentedly smacked his lips. A moment later, he suddenly remembered he was still broadcasting!

Oh no! The daze of love! How could he forget about it?

Yu Antong abruptly looked towards the top left.

"What's wrong?" asked Xing Lixuan.

Yu Antong had placed his phone on a cabinet. From Xing Lixuan’s viewpoint, it was obscured behind the solid wooden cabinet wall, making it invisible.

Grimacing as if he had a toothache, Yu Antong turned off the stove, "I forgot I was still streaming."

Saying that, he took down the phone. Now, the comments were all too clear.

Delivery Person: Stop eating, or you'll turn plump!

Oranges Are Priority: Hahaha, sexy streamer gaining weight live!

Double Yellow Lian: Did you forget you're the culinary star? You're supposed to be cooking, not doing a mukbang!

Seven-second Fish: Hahaha, Yu Antong totally forgot he was streaming!

The viewer count on the top right of the live stream screen was over 5,000 and still rising.

Why are there so many viewers?

Yu Antong realized that at some point, many more viewers had joined. They had recognized him, and many were commenting on his weight!

He exclaimed, “I haven’t gained weight! If you keep saying I have, I’ll get mad!”

The audience thought he was joking, and the comments flooded in even more energetically.

Urgent Meeting: Yes, yes, you haven't gained weight; you've just become pleasantly plump!

Unified Stance: Alright, alright, we get it. You haven't gained a pound. Not at all, hahaha~

ChubbyChub: Is that even fat on our dear Antong? It's the embodiment of Chef Yu's culinary skills and the boundless love from CEO Xing!

ChubbyChub: Oops, I mean on our darling Moon [dog face emoji].

CluckCluckChicken: Okay, Moon, we'll stop teasing [covering mouth laughing emoji].

Yu Antong frowned, feeling a tad annoyed with these mischievous fans, but couldn’t do much. Handing his phone to Xing Lixuan, he said, “Look! They’re saying I’ve gained weight. Did I really?”

Though he has been monitoring his weight during his pregnancy and has indeed gained some, it’s hard to notice it in the mirror daily. In Yu Antong’s mind, it’s not him gaining weight; it’s his son growing!

It’s not him becoming plump; it's the little one getting bigger!

Scrolling through the comments, Xing Lixuan responded stoically, “He hasn’t gained weight.”

The audience caught a glimpse of Xing Lixuan’s deep, stern gaze, and felt a sudden chill, as if they were being silently warned.

Oranges Are Priority: He didn't gain weight! How could our culinary god possibly become fat?

ChubbyChub: It must be the phone's fault! Trash camera, making our culinary god look plump!

CluckCluckChicken: Forgive me, CEO Xing, it was a typo! Blame the darn autocorrect!

Pan-Fried Bun: For the record, my account was hacked earlier! Those previous comments weren't mine!

The tide of comments swiftly turned, with netizens creating various excuses, though there were still some brave souls venturing opinions.

DragonSlayerSword: Even with your high-powered rose-colored glasses, CEO Xing, one shouldn’t distort the truth! (I've clashed with the top tycoon of Jiang City, I’m practically in his league after rounding up.)

Concerned Old Man: Buddy, you shouldn't be saying that, better delete it!

DragonSlayerSword: What if I don’t delete it? Come ban my account! [cheeky face]

Concerned Old Man: "Meeting Live" is under the Jiang Yue Group! CEO Xing is the president of Jiang Yue Group. Think he can't ban you?!

DragonSlayerSword: What?! My apologies, CEO Xing! Please forgive me! [falling on knees]

Band-Aid: Farewell, Sword. If you need anything in the afterlife, let us know in a dream. We’ll collect funds to send it to you.

CrispyChicken: Ah, didn’t heed the elder's advice, now look at the cold outcome.

Concerned Old Man: Young people always riding the wave, and look, they've drowned now!

...

Xing Lixuan handed the phone to Yu Antong, reassuring him, "You haven't gained weight. You're at the healthiest weight."

"I'm never going live again!" Yu Antong took the phone, ending the livestream.

RedJadeHall: "Antong, I apologize, please don’t end the strea..."

Before the viewers could type their pleas, they were forcibly removed from the stream.

Yu Antong pocketed his phone, "Let's eat."

Xing Lixuan embraced him, cupping his face and bending slightly, "You're not upset, are you?"

Seeing Xing Lixuan's concern, any annoyance Yu Antong felt dissipated. Standing on tiptoe, he kissed Xing and smiled, "Not really, just irritated they all said I've gained weight. It's hard to spill the truth!"

Xing Lixuan felt a pang of guilt. He somewhat regretted letting Yu Antong bear their child, exposing him to undue stress.

Tightening his embrace, Xing Lixuan promised, "Just this once. I won't put you through this again."

Yu Antong quickly made a play for more affection, "As long as you know my struggles. You better pamper me more, love me and never rebuke me!"

Xing Lixuan retorted, "When have I ever rebuked you?"

"Plenty of times! Remember when I said I wanted to travel? You told me to sleep and dream about it. And when I wanted to learn driving? You joked about me being lucky not to have a pilot's license," Yu Antong recounted with feigned indignation.

"Sounds like you're the one holding grudges! And to think, without me, you'd be forever single with that temper," Yu Antong's playful manipulation was unmatched.

Xing Lixuan playfully silenced him by placing a finger over his lips, "Seems you're the petulant one here, huh?"

One shouldn't be too indulgent; it only leads to more tantrums.

Though Xing Lixuan spoke sternly, his voice dripped with tenderness.

Yu Antong grinned, wrapping his arms around Xing Lixuan's waist, "I've always been this way; you knew that from day one."

Rubbing against him, Yu Antong's intimacy stirred feelings in Xing Lixuan, making his heart melt.

Affectionately patting Yu Antong's head, Xing Lixuan whispered with a soft chuckle, "My little darling."

Yu Antong's lips curled up uncontrollably. Men truly needed a touch of training. At first, Xing Lixuan was hesitant to even address him endearingly, but now he had a plethora of nicknames for him.

If it weren't for his current physical condition, Yu Antong would've engaged in a passionate "battle" with Xing Lixuan.

Author's Note: Antong: haven't gained weight, swear!
