"It's not in vain that he spent so much effort??" These words that He Yiyi left behind were like a poison soup, causing those bad memories to instantly flood in.
Suddenly, Su Jinyi realized that her hands were unsteady while holding the spoon, and she couldn't help but shiver like an old man.
"What's wrong?" It was unknown when, but He Ruiting was standing behind her, "I'm afraid that you won't be able to do it alone, I'll help you."
But Su Jinyi subconsciously dodged, and even threw the spoon in her hand.
Pow!
The collision between the ceramic and the floor attracted everyone's attention.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Na y Lin was the first to walk in. Seeing the broken spoon on the floor, she consoled, "It's nothing, just a spoon. Madam, let me do it.
Su Jinyi barely heard a single word that came from the Na y Lin.
The phrase "it was not in vain that he spent so much effort" lingered in her ears like a magic spell.
Why did He Ruiting say that?
Why did he put salt on her wound?
Did he think her body would not hurt? Can't his heart hurt?!
"Jin Yi, what happened to you?" He Ruiting sensed that something was amiss and asked carefully.
"It's nothing, " Su Jinyi replied coldly."I suddenly feel a little uncomfortable, and won't be accompanying you guys. I still have to wake up earlier tomorrow and leave this place to rest first."
Su Jinyi's words gave He Ruiting a huge shock.
He had thought that Su Jinyi would be able to stay for at least a few more days if he moved out other people.
He had originally wanted to perform well in these few days, and let Su Jinyi change her mind.
He was clearly enjoying his meal just now, how come he suddenly looked like a different person?
He Ruiting was extremely confused, but he could no longer hold out his hand to stop Su Jinyi. He watched her as she slowly walked up the stairs before returning to the dining table.
"Why did sister-in-law go up?" Duan Yunxuan asked.
"Nothing, I'm a bit tired." He Ruiting answered casually.
"Big brother, is sister-in-law unhappy?" Was it because she saw me that she was in such a bad mood? It doesn't matter, I understand. I will have Big Brother Yun Xuan send me back now."
He Yiyi said with a smile on her face. After sshe finished, he stood up and said to Duan Yunxuan: I'll be troubling Big Brother Yun Xuan to send me off.
Seeing He Yiyi being wronged, Duan Yunxuan was not at all pleased.
"Yiyi, sit down. It's not like your brother chased you out, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
"I don't want sister-in-law to be unhappy??" she said in a small, soft voice.
"Yiyi, sit down, " He Ruiting finally opened his mouth, "Your sister-in-law isn't so stingy because of you."
"Alright." He Yiyi sat down with a smile on her face, but her heart was in pain. She did not understand why her brother was so biased towards that woman. She could not tolerate him speaking any good words about Su Jinyi!
"Yun Xuan, Yi Yi, you two eat first. I'll go upstairs to take a look."
He Ruiting could not let his guard down, he wiped his hands and went upstairs.
Seeing that He Ruiting had left, He Yiyi's fingers could not help but twitch, but she covered it up well.
"Big Brother Yun Xuan, you should be more familiar with this house than me, right? Show me around, okay?"
Her pitiful appearance caused Duan Yunxuan's heart to be filled with warmth and love.
"Alright, I'll show you."
He Ruiting walked to the door of Su Jinyi's room and knocked, but there was no response from inside.
He was worried that Su Jinyi had already slipped away without him knowing, just like three years ago!
Thinking of this, he pushed open the door.
Pow!
Su Jinyi coincidentally walked out of the bathroom with only a bath towel wrapped around her body, her white and smooth shoulders looked like jade, but there was still the scar on her shoulder that she stood up for He Ruiting back then.
He Ruiting saw the scar immediately.
In his eyes, those were only signs of deep affection.
However, Su Jinyi did not feel any deep emotions. Her entire body was covered with the words "panic", she was stu ed at first, and then she subconsciously hugged herself. She did not expect to move so much, to the point that she almost tore off her bath towel.
"Why did you come in without knocking?" Su Jinyi's voice was filled with anxiety and complaint.
He Ruiting was stu ed on the spot, it was with much difficulty that he managed to pull the memories from the scar, and only then did he realize what had happened.
"Heh." He couldn't help but chuckle, and wanted to withdraw, but felt that it would be useless. But the next second, he realized something: "Why do I have to withdraw? "The person in front of me is my fair and square wife, on what basis should I withdraw?"
When he thought of this, he immediately felt confident.
"Jin Yi, I knocked on the door, but you didn't hear me. I was worried that something might have happened to you, so I pushed the door open. Second, you are my wife, and I knocked on the door out of respect, but even if I didn't, there would be no problem."
Ever since he brought Su Jinyi back, He Ruiting had always been a man with her tail between her legs. A person who could call the wind and summon the rain in An City was helpless in front of her beloved.
He Ruiting didn't like the kind of person he was.
But love is the hand that wants to touch and retract.
He finally understood this principle.
Su Jinyi did not want to argue with He Ruiting, so she hid in the bathroom and said: "Then please go out, I need you to change my clothes to rest."
No one answered, no one moved.
Su Jinyi thought it was strange, she quietly tilted her head and looked outside, who would have thought she would almost bump into He Ruiting!
He had already reached the bathroom door without a word.
"What are you doing?" Su Jinyi held the bath towel in one hand and blocked He Ruiting's chest with the other, afraid that he would do something rash.
However, He Ruiting's eyes were filled with gentleness???? He stared blankly at Su Jinyi's shoulder as that scar from the past became clear. Back then, she was injured in order to save him.
Sensing He Ruiting's gaze, Su Jinyi also lowered her head to look at her shoulder.
She remembered that time when she had thrown caution to the wind, but at that time, she was very happy. This scar was painful, but no matter how painful it was, it didn't hurt like the one on her stomach.
"I have some medicine to remove scars at home, can I help you apply it?"
Su Jinyi didn't know if she was mistaken, but she suddenly felt that the He Ruiting in front of her was especially gentle, no matter if it was from the corner of her eyes or her words.
"No need. Old Scar, no matter how much more you take care of him, you won't be able to go back."
"I can't go back." These four words, were deliberately said by Su Jinyi, so she wanted him to retreat after knowing the difficulties.
He Ruiting naturally understood once he heard it, but this made him more courageous.
"Jin Yi, can I hug you?"
When he spoke again, he actually made such a request.
Su Jinyi was stu ed in place.
Wasn't she cold enough to him? How could he allow himself to do this to a woman?
Su Jinyi mustered up the courage to look back at him. In those bottomless eyes, all she could see were deep emotions??
