Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Yan Xi asked, “Then why did you come back to find me?”

“You’re my wife,” Gu Shen said in a business-like tone. “I should be responsible for you.”

“Just responsible?”

Gu Shen didn’t say anything else. After a while, he felt pressure on his shoulders.

It was Yan Xi who rested on his shoulder.

She opened her mouth to speak. Her voice was soft and gentle, and it was impossible to tell if she was happy or angry.

“From now on, you’re all I have left.”

The family doctor was already waiting at home. The moment Yan Xi returned, she went up to her.

“Madam, let me see your wound.”

Yan Xi lifted up her dress and the bruise came into the doctor’s sight.

“Why did they treat you so brutally?” The doctor did not like Yan Xi, but when she saw the wound, she couldn’t help but feel bad about her.

She examined it carefully and heaved a sigh of relief after confirming that there were no fractures. “I’ll rub these bruises open for you later and apply for some medicine. You’ll be fine in a few days.”

“Thank you.”

…

Yan Xi did not know when she fell asleep. When she opened her eyes again, it was already three in the morning.

When Yan Xi woke up, her hungry stomach protested even more.

In the Yan villa, she only ate a piece of toast. Yan Xi touched her stomach and went down to the kitchen to find some food.

Everyone was asleep except for the lights in the corridor.

Yan Xi went downstairs and suddenly heard rustling sounds coming from the kitchen.

Shocked, she hurriedly switched on the lights and realized that Gu Shen was in front of the fridge.

“What’s wrong? Do you want something?”

“No.” Gu Shen paused. He closed the fridge door and pushed his wheelchair to the side.

When the lights were turned on, Yan Xi saw that he was raising his hand.

She sighed and walked over to open the fridge. She found that on the top layer of the fridge, there were water bottles. She took out a bottle and asked, “Do you want some water?”

Gu Shen pursed his lips. “Mm.”

After drinking a few mouthfuls of water, the hunger in her stomach became even more palpable. Yan Xi put down the water and casually asked, “Do you want to eat something?”

Gu Shen shook his head. He did not trust Yan Xi’s cooking skills.

“There are dumplings in the lower layer of the fridge. You can cook some yourself.”

Yan Xi took out the dumplings and counted twenty. She thought for a while and counted ten more, including Gu Shen’s portion.

“You probably feel hungry at this point as well, so just eat some with me.”

Gu Shen did not answer, but he did not move his wheelchair either. He sat where he was and waited quietly for Yan Xi.

There was a display on the kitchen stove. Yan Xi found the tutorial on cooking dumplings and followed it step by step.

After the water opened, she placed the dumplings inside.

After waiting for a while, the dumplings didn’t all float up. Yan Xi was a little puzzled. She looked at Gu Shen and asked, “How long does this dumpling take to cook?”

Gu Shen hesitated. “Should be fine in a few minutes.”

“Oh,” Yan Xi replied and took out the utensils from the cabinet above, planning to put them inside later.

She opened the lid of the pot and found that the dumplings had already been boiled and the meat stuffing was scattered everywhere.

Yan Xi felt embarrassed, asking, “Do you want some meat soup?”

Yan Xi then cooked another pot. This time, she was very careful and took out the dumplings five minutes later.

The two of them just held their plate of dumplings and did not go to the dining table. One sat on the wheelchair, while the other sat on the floor and ate quietly.

Halfway through, Yan Xi suddenly nudged him, asking, “How is it? My cooking isn’t all that bad, right?”

“It was the cook who made the dumplings.”
