Falling in Love with My Contracted Husband - Chapter 343
Chapter 343 The Way He Loves Her
After a few simple conversations with Tang Yuxin, he hung up the phone. He thought that Tang Yuxin would refuse, but who knew that it would be so easy to agree? He didn’t know if it was really as he wanted the two of them to laugh out their grudges.
The morning sun was shining brightly. The scenery outside the window formed mottled tree shadows in the ward. There were fresh jasmine flowers on the table. An Zixi especially liked jasmine. It was a refreshing smell.
Tang Jin Chen walked into the ward and saw An Zi Xi standing on the windowsill looking down, saying, “What are you looking at?” Her tone was very light, as if she was in a good mood.
An Zixi did not say anything. She only smiled foolishly. She saw Tang Jin Chen wearing a light gray casual coat and trousers. She stood not far away with her hands in her pockets and a faint smile hanging on her face. Her chest seemed to be filled in an instant. She said hesitantly, “I was just wondering if you would come today. It seems like my worries are unnecessary. Fortunately, you came.”
Tang Jin Chen saw that she was wearing a hospital gown and her face showed displeasure. Although the air conditioning in the ward was very warm, it made Tang Jin Chen worried that she was pregnant. “Quickly go to the hospital bed and lie down.”
After saying that, he revealed the lunch box in his hand. This was the preserved egg and lean porridge that the nanny had prepared in the morning.
However, An Zixi hated preserved eggs the most, so when Tang Jin Chen opened the lunch box, she did not reveal the expression of joy that Tang Jin Chen had expected. Her apricot eyes curved and her brows furrowed, as if she had seen something extremely disgusting.
Tang Jin Chen scanned the room in confusion, “What, don’t you like this?”
“I have never liked preserved eggs since I was a child. I will vomit if I eat them.”
She wasn’t lying. She really hated preserved eggs, but seeing Tang Jin Chen’s slightly disappointed gaze, she still took the lunch box in Tang Jin Chen’s hand.
Tang Jin Chen smiled randomly and suddenly realized that although he had been with An Zi Xi for so long, he didn’t even know her basic eating habits.
He couldn’t help but feel a little unhappy about his ignorance. He thought that he was infatuated with her. When she left, he was only angry. He was angry that she had left quietly. He felt that An Zixi had betrayed him and abandoned him.
However, he had never thought about why she would leave.
Originally, he had always thought that he had never truly understood her, never truly seen through what she wanted …
“Forget it. Since you don’t like it, don’t force yourself. Let the babysitter do another portion later.”
An Zixi was surprised to see that he wasn’t angry, so he immediately asked, “Forget it, I can skip the preserved eggs. I can also have some porridge.” An Zixi did not want to see a disappointed expression on Tang Jin Chen’s face. She suddenly had a strange feeling that Tang Jin Chen seemed to have changed since yesterday, becoming less unreachable and unfathomable than in the past, probably because of the child in her stomach.
“I’ll help you pick out the preserved egg.” Thus, Tang Jin Chen carefully picked the preserved eggs out of the insulated lunch box, and then he calmly ate all the preserved eggs he picked out.
She was a little stunned, then smiled and said, “This is the first time I feel that you’re so gentle. I used to help you eat food you don’t like, but now I’m surprised.” Life is an unexpected thing. There are always things that you don’t know or even think are impossible that actually happen.
“After you finish eating, we can go to the mysterious place you mentioned, right?” Tang Jin Chen did not sleep well last night. He was thinking about the place An Zi Xi had mentioned. An Zi Xi rarely mentioned the past to him. If his guess was correct, this mysterious place might have something to do with her past.
An Zixi didn’t say anything. She looked at Tang Jin Chen and slowly asked, “My hand has just finished hitting the bottle. Can you feed me?” It was indeed a bit shameful for a woman to take the initiative to speak. However, her hand really hurt. Because she was pregnant, the hospital was very careful with the medicine. An Zixi’s spirit was very good. However, Tang Jin Chen’s eyes were slightly red as if he had stayed up late for a long time. Her heart was bitter. She felt that the child in her stomach might be a good opportunity.
Tang Jin Chen relaxed his eyebrows. Seeing An Zi Xi’s embarrassed appearance, he felt that it was a little funny. She also took the initiative to act spoiled. She couldn’t help but feel happy in her heart. Tang Jin Chen stretched out his hand to stop the box of porridge.
An Zixi thought that he was going to be angry, so he hurriedly said, “If I can’t do it, then forget it. I can barely do it myself.”
Before he could finish speaking, Tang Jin Chen used a spoon to get some porridge. Because he was afraid that it would be hot, he even blew it. Tang Jin Chen, who had always been showing off his height, actually had such meticulous moments, and it did not seem to match his identity.
“Thank you.” An Zixi blinked his eyes, his face filled with a sweet smile, and his eyes were filled with happiness ripples. If time could be frozen at this moment, it would not be a bad thing.
An Zixi ate the porridge that Tang Jin Chen had taken the initiative to feed. Seeing the few nurses peeking outside the door, he immediately felt his mouth choke. Then, a tragic thing happened.
The porridge in his mouth spat out unexpectedly. Tang Jin Chen’s jacket was filled with rice that An Zi Xi had chewed on. It looked very disgusting.
Those nurses came out of the bee pupa. Just now, they felt that the two of them were a perfect match. Who would have known that this situation would suddenly happen?
“I was so envious of her just now. Even though her boyfriend was so handsome, he was still gentle and considerate in his heart. However, that woman sprayed food on him. Would he be angry and break up in a rage?”
“Hurry up and go to work. Isn’t it a good thing for you guys to gossip? Otherwise, why would that young miss do such a embarrassing thing?”
The nurses were still gossiping, but there was a different scene in the ward.
Tang Jin Chen looked at his jacket that An Zi Xi had spat out. An embarrassing look appeared on his face. An Zi Xi was eager to bury him in the ground and never come out again. He could only wipe him with a napkin and explain in a good voice, “Sorry, I really didn’t mean to. Don’t be angry.”
He wasted his tenderness and affection. On the contrary, An Zixi kept apologizing like a little sparrow, which allowed Tang Jin Chen to regain his calm. However, there was still a hint of disgust in his eyes.
“Alright, don’t wipe it. Your clothes have been torn by you.” Tang Jin Chen opened his thin lips and said slowly.
“Then you’re not angry? I didn’t mean to.” An Zixi revealed the expression of a little woman. She looked very cute and cute. When she was angry, she was like a little tiger that had been angered. When she was quiet and spoiled, she was like a little kitten that flattered her master.
“How can you see that I’m angry? However, can you rest assured that I’ll finish my meal? This porridge will be cold soon. How can I eat it?”
An Zixi clearly felt that he was angry just now. If it was normal, he would have described the expression of his anger just now, but seeing his calm eyebrows and the rising corners of his mouth, I suppressed my thoughts of retorting.
“Good, good, good. Can’t I continue eating my porridge?”
Tang Jin Chen touched her hair and secretly said in his heart, “This is a good mother.”
The ward rippled with a beautiful aura. The nurses lying outside the door couldn’t help but become messy as they looked at the pampered pair inside.
Not only was this man handsome, even his chest was so magnanimous.
“I’m so jealous. I really want to have a boyfriend like that. It’s really too happy to accept me unconditionally and satisfy me.”
“Happiness is also someone else’s. Let’s not talk about it anymore. I’m going to buy some dog food now.”
A few nurses stared at the happy couple inside with eager eyes.
Arrange for discharge from the hospital, Tang Jin Chen took An Zi Xi out of the hospital. After staying in bed for several days, she immediately felt refreshed. She did not like hospitals since she was young, not only because she was afraid of injections and the strong smell of disinfectant, but also because of death. The hospital was filled with the aura of death. Although the obstetrics and gynaecology department was welcoming newborns every day, there were no fewer patients who died on the operating table.
Deep in the shade of the forest in the distance, a few old men were working out. A child was jumping happily with leather tendons. There were jumping spots of light on the treetops. Today was a fine day. An Zixi looked at everything in front of him and took a deep breath. He blinked at Tang Jin Chen, “Do you know where this place is?”
Tang Jin Chen held An Zi Xi’s small hand and shook his head in confusion. The place they drove all the way to was the suburbs of the city. It took them two hours to get here from the hospital. In addition to the traffic jam, it was originally arranged in the morning and it was noon in the blink of an eye.
Tang Jin Chen looked at his watch. It was already twelve o’clock.
“Let’s find a place to eat first. You must be hungry after driving for so long.”
An Zixi couldn’t wait to take him to that mysterious place. Then, he shook his head and said, “I’m not hungry, let’s go now.”
Tang Jin Chen looked at her face and then became cold. “You still have a baby in your stomach. Remember that you are not alone now and you will have three meals on time in the future.”
“You’re not a human. Alright, alright, I know. Let’s go eat.” Seeing Tang Jin Chen’s tense face, An Zi Xi showed weakness for the first time and pulled his arm towards a crowded place.
That was also her memory, The path in his memories remained unchanged, An Zixi suddenly felt that even if she closed her eyes, she would not get lost in this land. Although she could not remember when she had come here last time, every flower and grass were filled with a familiar smell. The sapling she had personally planted had now grown into a towering tree, as if time had left traces of growth here.
Long memory, An Zixi managed to find the street smoothly. Starlight Street. This was her favorite place. When she was a child, she always felt that this place was the most beautiful thing in the world. It was because there was an old grandfather who sold sugar gourds, an uncle who sold stinky tofu, and the cold drink sister who gave her an ice cream. However, when she saw the scene in front of her, An Zixi shed tears in disappointment.
“Why are you crying all of a sudden?” Tang Jin Chen saw her tearful eyes and asked with concern, “I was fine just now. Did you feel uncomfortable?”
When she saw Tang Jin Chen, she cried even louder and pointed at the street with trembling shoulders. “I grew up here all the time. Tang Jin Chen, do you think those people who sell things look more honest and realistic than the big cities?”
This was her childhood in memory. She had grown up in an orphanage since childhood. She didn’t have any extra pocket money, but she was always willing to shuttle around the street with her friends. She didn’t know if those people in her memory were still there. Tang Jin Chen held her hand and felt her excitement. She felt a little painful in her heart.
Tang Jin Chen followed An Zi Xi all the way to the center of the street. There were many uncles and aunts who sold vegetables here. They did not come to sell vegetables because they were short of money, but because they were bored.
Next to the orphanage was the nursing home. The old man and the old lady liked to get up early and sell vegetables like this. However, they sat there for a whole day. Sometimes, the vegetables would turn yellow if they were not sold out due to bad luck.
“See this? I used to eat ice cream here.” She thought back to her kind sister, but unfortunately, she did not think of the appearance of her sister, which was still fresh in her memory.
Tang Jin Chen followed her gaze and saw that the cold drink shop in An Zi Xi’s mouth had now turned into a hotpot restaurant.
“Perhaps there’s already been a wave of people here.” She murmured.
