Chapter 288 Apology
Shao Ziyu watched helplessly as the glamorous woman left, unable to catch up, and could only push open the door and go inside with resentment.
Seeing Lai Jinchuan sitting at the table, reading a book, he was immediately stunned, and then asked angrily, "Jinchuan, who was that woman just now? Why did she leave your room?"
Lai Jinchuan looked at Shao Ziyu with a disdainful expression and said, "What are you thinking? I've been reading all afternoon. She wanted to come and get back together with me, but I just rejected her, and she got angry and left. And you just happened to come back!"
"Really?" Shao Ziyu looked at him with some skepticism.
"You don't believe me?" Lai Jinchuan looked at her with a deeply insulted expression.
"Shao Ziyu, I rejected so many women who wanted to date me for your sake, and now you don't believe me? You really disappoint me!"
"I've been so good to you. Last time I even cooked you some plain porridge myself. Last time I even chased away the people who were trying to take advantage of you. Is there anyone in this world who treats you better than me? How can you not believe me?"
Shao Ziyu only asked him one question, but was met with a long string of questions that left him speechless.
He could only apologize helplessly: "I'm...I'm sorry, Jin Chuan. I just saw her come out of your room. You two were alone together, so I got anxious and thought you..."
Shao Ziyu instantly lost his previous arrogance and quickly apologized to Lai Jinchuan.
"Shao Ziyu, can't you use your brain? Don't just think about those trivial things between men and women?"
"Do you know how much I've sacrificed for you? If it weren't for you, would I be sitting here studying so hard, hoping to get into a good university so your parents would accept us being together?"
"I've worked so hard, and you still doubt me?"
Lai Jinchuan looked deeply humiliated as he gazed at Shao Ziyu with a pained expression, his voice filled with grief and indignation.
Shao Ziyu felt even more guilty.
With tears in her eyes, she apologized repeatedly: "I'm sorry, Jin Chuan. I just care about you too much, which is why I get nervous when I see other women getting close to you. You're all I have now. You're so wonderful, and I'm really afraid that someone will take you away from me!"
Lai Jinchuan just looked at her with a hurt expression and didn't say anything.
So Shao Ziyu could only lower her head, apologize repeatedly, and try to appease him by massaging his shoulders and back.
Finally, after more than half an hour of fussing, Lai Jinchuan relented and said, "Alright! I'll forgive you this time because you're sincere in admitting your mistake. But next time something like this happens, don't do it again, blaming us without even asking what happened."
"Ziyu, as you know, I'm very charming, and it's not something I wanted to do. However, because of you, I'm willing to reject all women who want to be my boyfriend, but we still need to have basic trust between us."
Hearing that he had finally forgiven him, Shao Ziyu nodded repeatedly and said, "Jin Chuan, I understand. I will definitely change in the future and will never let you down."
Lai Jinchuan nodded in satisfaction, then rubbed his stomach and said, "Hey, I've been reading all day, I'm so hungry!"
Upon hearing this, Shao Ziyu looked troubled.
If she could, she would like to do what she did a few days ago.
In order to please Lai Jinchuan and Lai Dafeng, he volunteered to cook.
Even if you burned your hands the first time you started a fire, cut your fingers the first time you chopped vegetables, or scalded your hands the first time you cooked, because you had never done it before.
But as long as she thought about it, she was finally living with Lai Jinchuan.
She's cooking for the man she loves—what a blissful thing that is.
Shao Ziyu felt a surge of motivation.
However, inner motivation is ultimately internal.
Now, she walks between the hospital and the Lai family home, and her legs are very sore, and her feet are also very painful from the friction.
Where would I find the energy to cook?
Thinking of this, Shao Ziyu said in a slightly weak voice, "Jin Chuan, I've walked so far today, I'm so tired! Could you..."
A hint of displeasure flashed in Lai Jinchuan's eyes, but he quickly concealed it, then smiled and ruffled her hair, saying, "Ziyu, what are you thinking about! What I mean is, you should go and rest, I'm going to cook! Hmm, you're tired, so go lie down and rest in bed!"
Upon hearing this, Shao Ziyu breathed a long sigh of relief and looked at Lai Jinchuan with gratitude, saying, "Jinchuan, you're so kind, I really like you so much!"
No wonder he's the man she loves most. When she comes home exhausted, he cooks a meal for her himself. She's so happy to be able to eat food made by the man she loves.
Lai Jinchuan chuckled and reached out to pinch her nose: "Silly girl, go to bed and rest! Your husband is going to cook for my silly girl!"
With that, he left the room and closed the door behind him.
The dilapidated door creaked sharply under his movements, then slammed shut with a bang.
But this shrill and unbearable sound sounded like heavenly music to Shao Ziyu's ears.
After all, it was a sign of Lai Jinchuan's care for her!
Shao Ziyu turned and walked towards the thin wooden bed.
Only after moving did I realize that my feet were in excruciating pain.
She slowly moved to the bed and sat down, struggling to take off her shoes, only to find that her socks were covered in blood.
It was shocking to see that his feet were already blistered from the leather shoes.
She tried to take off her socks, but found that they were stuck to her feet. When she pulled them off, the pain brought tears to her eyes.
After struggling to remove her blood-soaked socks, she looked at the wounds that had been blistered and then burst, and tears streamed down her face.
From childhood to adulthood, whenever she went out, she was always picked up and dropped off by a car and driver.
When have I ever suffered like this?
And cooking...
Looking at my hands, where old wounds hadn't healed and new ones had appeared.
In order not to embarrass herself in front of the Shao family, she wore gloves the whole time and dared not take them off, for fear that they would see the injury on her hands.
Give them the opportunity to laugh at themselves.
Although Shao Ziyu herself felt that this was great proof of her dedication to love, how could that group of people who were materialistic and only cared about their own interests understand their great love?
Looking at the injuries on her hands and feet, a resolute glint flashed in Shao Ziyu's eyes, as if she were proving something, or as if she were convincing herself: "You did nothing wrong, Shao Ziyu. Everything you're doing now is for love, and it's worth it..."
