"Honey!" Jiang Can finished her soup but still felt a little hungry. She looked at him shyly and said, "I'd like to eat something else."
Huo Zhixing immediately served her the food that Fu Xiuyu had brought.
"Honey, am I eating too much...?"
"No!" Huo Zhixing laughed, "I'm already thankful that you don't want airplane food right now!"
Jiang Can smiled as well, but all these soups and broths were made by Fu Xiuyu strictly according to the postpartum meal standards, and were completely bland without any seasoning.
Although I was quite hungry, I lost my appetite just looking at these dishes.
"What's wrong, honey?"
“These…” Jiang Can hesitated before speaking.
She was never one to want to cause trouble for others.
She was being taken care of, especially since her mother-in-law had prepared loving postpartum meals for her, so she felt embarrassed to make any more demands.
Huo Zhixing was meticulous and saw through the problem at a glance.
He tasted each dish, but none of them had any flavor. Then he looked up at her, chuckled, and said, "Don't you like it?"
Jiang Can forced a smile, picked up her spoon, and prepared to start eating.
Huo Zhixing stopped her.
Then, mysteriously, he pulled a small bottle out of his pocket.
Jiang Can's eyes lit up, "You brought salt with you?!"
"These things have absolutely no taste, how are people supposed to eat them?"
As he spoke, he was about to sprinkle salt into it.
Jiang Can quickly grabbed his hand, "Mom said, you can't!"
"Who else said that?"
"And... my parents also said so." Jiang Can's voice lowered.
Yin Ruohong and Yin Wenxi also told her that postpartum women must eat a light diet. If they consume too much salt, their breast milk will be unhealthy and will harm the baby.
“They all said it’s not allowed.” Jiang Can looked at him seriously.
A hint of tenderness flickered in the man's deep eyes. "But I said, yes!"
"Knowledge and Action..."
"I asked the doctor, and adding just a little bit is fine." He smiled indulgently, dipped the tip of his chopsticks into a few grains of salt, and gently sprinkled them into the food.
This tiny amount brought Jiang Can, who had been feeling tasteless, a taste of happiness.
"As long as the amount isn't large, it won't affect your milk supply." Huo Zhixing rubbed her hair and fed her spoonful by spoonful.
“Can Can, my mom is also a first-time grandma, so she might be overly nervous about many things. For example, with the food, she heard that new mothers can't eat salt, so she made it without any salt at all... Don't be angry with her.”
Jiang Can felt a warmth in her heart, and her eyes reddened slightly.
Fu Xiuyu was used to being pampered, and even Huo Zhixing had never eaten her cooking. But now she was personally cooking for her daughter-in-law and spoiling Jiang Can like a daughter.
Why would Jiang Can be angry with her?
Huo Zhixing took care of her feelings in every way and was considerate of the changes she experienced before and after giving birth, which made her suddenly want to cry.
Some say marriage is a woman's second chance at life.
Jiang Can felt that her reincarnation was so lucky that she must have saved the galaxy in her past life.
"Can Can, what's wrong?" Huo Zhixing anxiously wiped away her tears. "You can't cry during your postpartum period, or you'll get sick!"
“I didn’t cry…” Jiang Can smiled, tears still clinging to the corners of her eyes, then she nestled against him affectionately, “I just feel… this life is too short.”
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"I don't want to be your wife only in this life." She looked up at him. "I want to be your wife in the next life, and the life after that, forever and ever."
Huo Zhixing spoke softly in her ear, "Didn't we already agree on this? No matter what life we're in, we'll be husband and wife and never be apart."
At this moment, Huo Junyu in the cradle opened his eyes, his dark eyes staring intently in this direction.
His little face was blank, completely unaware that his parents were showing affection in front of him.
So he burst into tears, begging for attention.
Huo Zhixing hurriedly went to coax him. Now he was a very experienced dad and knew that Huo Junyu had just eaten milk and wouldn't be too hungry, so he touched his diaper.
Sure enough, as soon as I put my hand in, I felt something warm...
Huo Zhixing laughed: "What a generous gift my son gave me!"
Jiang Can smiled gently, rummaged through the diaper bag by the pillow, found some hand-sewn little clothes, and asked Huo Zhixing to dress his son in them.
"Sang Qing did all of this." She said thoughtfully. "Sigh, I wonder how she is now."
When Jiang Can gave birth, her whole family came, except for Nie Xin.
“Today is the fifth day,” Huo Zhixing said in a deep voice. “According to Officer Will, Sang Qing has completed all the procedures and will be escorted to the border by special personnel tomorrow.”
Where is Nie Xin?
Huo Zhixing shook his head.
"Actually, if Nie Xin is willing to bring Sang Qing back to Southeast Asia, it wouldn't be too difficult for him to get a proper identity based on his connections with the royal family."
“But the premise is that Nie Xin is willing to do it.” Huo Zhixing looked at her. “Wife, don’t worry about them. Sometimes these things depend on fate.”
...
Sang Qing finally left the room.
These past few days, she's either been interrogated or forced to sign and fingerprint various documents. Right now, she's facing five or six heavily armed police officers, all staring at her expressionlessly.
Such scenes had appeared in her dreams many times, and each time she was awakened by fright.
But this time, she was completely calm.
Officer Will slowly walked over and nodded to her.
Sang Qing also gave him a grateful smile.
Thanks to this kind officer, the police officers haven't made things too difficult for her these past few days.
Officer Will dismissed his men and spoke with Sang Qing alone.
The two stood facing each other in silence for a long time before Officer Will's first words were full of apology: "Sorry."
Sang Qing was taken aback, and quickly said, "Don't say that, I should be thanking you!"
"I really can't do anything about your immigration status. The only thing I can do is force you to leave the country."
Sang Qing smiled bitterly: "You've already done so much for me..."
“By the way,” Officer Will chuckled, “Mrs. Huo has given birth to a boy, and both mother and child are doing well.”
After he finished speaking, he took out a photo on his phone and showed it to her.
Sang Qing was very happy; this was the happiest she had been since she was locked up in the police station.
"I...Is it possible for me to see them one more time? I don't mean anything by it, I just want to thank them in person. I'm leaving England, and I don't know where I'll be going. I'm afraid I'll never see them again in this lifetime..."
Officer Will's smile froze, and after a long pause, he slowly said, "No."
This answer was exactly what Sang Qing expected, and she forced a smile.
I can't see Jiang Can, and I can't see Nie Xin either.
She and they were from completely different worlds.
But no matter where they are in the future, she will silently pray that God will bless them.
"Officer Will, it's time." The officer knocked on the door.
Sang Qing bowed to him again and resolutely walked towards the door.
