Chapter 718: He Cared for Her the Most
He scooped a portion of pork ribs soup, then scooped up a tiny bit of soup with a soup and carefully brought it to her lips.
He Xiyan turned away and shook her head.
“I’m not hungry. Jiahang, you should keep this for yourself.”
She didn’t feel like eating, neither did she have any appetite.
Chen Jiahang took out his notebook and wrote, “Yan Yan, you have to eat more in order to get better. Eat up, won’t you?”
If she didn’t eat, he wouldn’t either.
Since she couldn’t change his mind, she could only finish the food that he pushed toward her. Then, she pointed at the dishes on the table.
These were all the dishes that he had ordered outside and she guessed that he must have spent quite a bit.
They didn’t have much money, so they could not afford to let this food go to waste.
“Jiahang, you should have some too,” she said.
She didn’t have much of an appetite but she still picked up the packed lunch and ate a few mouthfuls of rice.
She didn’t want to make him worry.
Chen Jiahang relaxed when he saw that she was eating. He continued to put food into her bowl and gave her all the pork ribs.
“That’s more than enough for me! You should have more meat,” she said as she looked speechless at him. He had handed her all the pork ribs and the beef while he only ate some vegetables.
Chen Jiahang smiled at her but continued to eat his tomato omelet.
He was very healthy and strong, so there was no need to eat such nutritious food but Yan Yan had to eat these so that she could get better and they could have a baby.
He finished two vegetarian dishes, then wrote on a piece of paper, “I’ve finished. You should finish the rest of the food.” Then, he showed off this slip of He Xiyan like a child, and watched her like a hawk as she ate.
He Xiyan smiled wryly. She didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry whenever she saw how he was behaving.
She had always known that he treated her very well and also knew that he had always thought of her as his wife. However, she couldn’t bring herself to accept such a ridiculous marriage.
They didn’t hold a marriage ceremony, nor did they collect their marriage license. Their relationship had been based on an illegal transaction, so in the eyes of the law, they were not married.
If the police were to conduct investigations, not only would those terrible human traffickers would be jailed, Chen Jiahang would also have to be charged in court for illegally buying a woman and keeping her prisoner illegally.
She knew that Chen Jiahang had never considered the implications of his actions because he only had the intellect of a child. He lived in a simple world and even assumed that buying a wife was the only way in which the people who lived in their village got married.
Chen Jiahang moved to sit beside her when she finished eating, then took her hand and wrote on her palm, “Yan Yan, I know I’m not smart and that we’re very poor, but don’t worry. I swear I’ll earn enough money to buy you a house one day, buy you beautiful clothes, and be rich enough that you’d be able to eat delicious food every day.”
He Xiyan froze for a moment, then her lashes fluttered and tears formed in her eyes. Crystalline tears could be seen on top of her lashes. Although she treated this man like a child, she couldn’t help but feel touched when she saw how solemnly he had written these promises down.
“Thank you, Jiahang.”
Chen Jiahang shook his head. She didn’t need to thank him since this was something that he should do. Aunty Wang said that only useless men would let their wives suffer with them.
