"I……"
"Trust in your husband's abilities," Jiang Tingzhou interrupted her with a confident tone. "Half an hour. If I don't do it well, then you can teach me, okay?"
Xu Wan stood to the side, watching the man clumsily crack eggs into the pan. She wanted to laugh, but her eyes welled up with tears.
As she grew up, she hadn't experienced such intimacy for a very long time.
It allows her to completely relax, both physically and mentally.
Xu Wan waited in the living room for twenty minutes before Jiang Tingzhou brought out two plates.
One plate contains two ugly-looking sandwiches, while the other plate contains sandwiches that look much better.
Jiang Tingzhou pushed the plate next to Xu Wan, "Try the sandwich your husband made for you."
“Okay, try the sandwich my lawyer husband made for me.”
Jiang Tingzhou sat opposite her, eating the few failed attempts by himself.
As the heir to the Jiang family business and president of Tianwei Group, Jiang Tingzhou had always enjoyed the best of everything.
Even sandwiches are meticulously prepared for him by a top chef using the finest ingredients.
Xu Wan was unaware of these things, but seeing the man's failed attempt at eating the sandwich, she felt a little embarrassed. "How about we switch to something else?"
"No need, of course I'll give you the good stuff," Jiang Tingzhou said naturally.
Xu Wan's eyes suddenly felt a little sore.
She lowered her head and ate her sandwich silently, barely managing to hold back her tears. She lowered her head and whispered, "Jiang Tingzhou, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hide my mother's situation from you."
"Yes, I know."
"Are you... really not bothered? If you are, you can just tell me. I'm fine with it."
Xu Wan was already used to being bothered by others.
Because of her mother's situation, those people didn't even want to be her friends, let alone have a close relationship like husband and wife.
"Xu Wan," Jiang Tingzhou stretched out his arm, took the woman's hand, and asked, "Shall I take you to meet my parents? Then we can discuss the wedding arrangements. Perhaps I also have something to attend to..."
"No……"
Xu Wan was startled and withdrew her hand, saying nervously, "How about we wait a little longer? We can tell your parents when our relationship is more stable. After all, given my family's situation and our whirlwind marriage, let's wait a bit longer."
Jiang Tingzhou understood the woman's concerns and didn't force her. "Okay."
That night, Xu Wan still had a nightmare.
"Shameless! Don't think you can get away with it just because you fooled my son with your vixen-like face!"
"I will not allow the daughter of a murderer to set foot in our house!"
"What kind of good daughter can a murderer raise? She's just a liar, and sooner or later she'll end up in jail just like her mother!"
The mother of the senior who pursued her back then stood at her doorstep, pointing her finger at her and cursing her like this.
The senior student stood behind his mother, without saying a word.
But gradually, the face of the senior's mother in the dream became distorted and blurry, and the people behind her also changed.
The senior's face transformed into Jiang Tingzhou's face.
She could vaguely see the eyes behind the transparent lenses; the former gentleness was gone, leaving only indifference.
"Stop talking! Stop talking!"
Xu Wan suddenly woke up with a start!
As she sat up in bed, Jiang Tingzhou came in through the door, pulled her into his arms, and wiped away her tears with his thumb. "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."
"Jiang Tingzhou."
Xu Wan felt the warmth emanating from the man's chest.
I feel both nostalgic and terrified.
"Yes, I'm here."
Jiang Tingzhou patted her back like he was comforting a child.
Xu Wan asked, "You...you haven't told your parents about our marriage yet, have you?"
