Chapter 240: Both children
It was already late at night when Xie Jianqi arrived.
Seeing how exhausted he looked, Chen Heng quickly prepared his toiletries and personally handed them to him, then put them away after he finished washing.
Xie Jian opened his arms and said, "Madam, please help me undress."
As he got more and more demanding, Chen Heng obediently went to help him undress. As soon as she untied her belt, he hugged her.
Xie Jian hugged her tightly, his voice tired: "Aheng, I'm so tired."
"If you're tired, let's take a break, eat something delicious, talk about something happy, appreciate the flowers, and have a cup of good tea. I'll accompany you." Chen Heng said gently. She knew he was under a lot of pressure during this period.
"Will you always stay with me?"
"As long as you treat me well, I will always be with you."
Xie Jian hugged her tighter: "Okay, I will always treat you well, very well."
After holding her for an unknown amount of time, Xie Jian finally let her go.
Chen Heng told her about Tian Yu's visit.
"Sister-in-law has always been thinking about brother, hoping that he will not betray her after he wakes up." Xie Jian said, "I can only wake brother up, but I can't make choices for him."
Shen Heng nodded. From the conversation between Tian and Yu, she could tell that her sister-in-law was not confident in herself. Rather than saying that she thought her brother would change his mind, it would be better to say that she had no confidence that she could win against Yu.
"Let's talk about something happy. Wu Jin is getting engaged." Xie Jian pulled her onto the bed: "In two days."
Chen Heng was surprised. "It happened so quickly. They got engaged right away. Is the girl's surname Min?"
"You know?"
Shen Heng told about meeting Miss Min that day.
"It should be her."
"Have you seen her too?" Chen Heng asked curiously.
"Wu Jin dragged Xuan Lang and me past her on purpose. He even had a huge argument with Xuan Lang, asking him why he was dressed like a peacock."
"What's the meaning?"
Xie Jian smiled and said, "The girl's eyes were always on Xuan Lang, and she didn't even look at him."
Chen Heng smiled when she heard this, then chuckled softly.
"It's indeed a bit strange. After all, among the three of us, I am the tallest and the best looking, but she only looks at Xuan Lang." Xie Jian said lightly, with habitual suspicion, it was not a big problem.
The next moment, Xie Jian screamed in pain.
Chen Heng pinched his cheek with one hand and said unhappily: "We are already married, you can't have such thoughts in the future." Why are you so narcissistic? If you are good-looking, you should be more self-disciplined.
"I know, I know."
Shen Heng then let him go: "What exactly is going on with this girl?"
Xie Jian rubbed his cheek and said aggrievedly, "I'm from nearby Xiao County and only moved to the Imperial City two months ago. My mother died young, and four months ago, my father was paralyzed by a thief. I have an older sister and a younger brother, and her eldest sister also went insane four months ago. She's the only one supporting the family."
"This girl has had a difficult life." Children from poor families have to grow up early, Shen Heng sighed, and asked curiously, "What does Wu Jin like about her?"
"He said it was love at first sight."
Love at first sight? As for a romantic reason, Chen Heng said, "With such a family background, how could Wu Jin's mother be satisfied?" An open-minded mother would be willing to accept a daughter from a poor family as her daughter-in-law, but if the girl's family was not sound, even an open-minded mother might not be satisfied.
"Mrs. Wu has met that girl. I don't know what they talked about, but Wu Jin said his mother liked her very much."
