"I...I didn't." Su Nanyu subconsciously released the knife from her hand.
Finally, Su Nanyu bent down and picked up the knife again, saying softly, "I just wanted to wash the knife and then peel an apple for you."
Yes, that was his initial thought, but while washing the knife, looking at the sharp blade, the idea suddenly popped into his mind again.
If Wan Ge hadn't suddenly appeared, he might have actually made a move.
“That’s fine, but I’m still quite full. Shall we each have half?” Wan Ge held out her hand to him, and Su Nanyu immediately took it. With his other hand, he held a small knife and then sat down to peel an apple for Wan Ge.
…
Su Nanyu couldn't sleep again that night, tossing and turning.
Looking at Su Nanyu tossing and turning, Wan Ge patted the spot next to her and said, "Ayu, do you want to sleep next to me?"
Su Nanyu immediately shook her head! "No, I'll sleep here, it's fine."
Su Nanyu didn't want to sleep in a separate room from her, but he was also afraid of acting impulsively and of accidentally crushing her and their child, so he laid a mattress on the floor and slept there.
With him around, Wan Ge can feel more at ease. In addition, he can take better care of Wan Ge, and she can just say so if she needs anything.
"Wange, go to sleep. I'll fall asleep soon." Wange is pregnant and so tired with her big belly. I absolutely cannot keep tossing and turning and wake her up.
Wan Ge didn't argue and quietly closed her eyes.
…
Wan Ge's pregnancy and childbirth went very smoothly; otherwise, Su Nanyu would definitely have been out of control again.
Madam Su held the child in her arms, while Su Nanyu sat on the edge of the bed, holding Wan Ge's hand tightly.
Wan Ge could feel that his hands were sweaty, and she could see the marks on his palms: "What happened to your hands?"
Su Nanyu lowered her head and softly replied, "I...I didn't. I was just too nervous and clenched my fist. I'm sorry."
"Didn't I tell you not to be afraid? Have you applied the medicine? Can I apply it for you?"
Su Nanyu originally wanted to say it was okay, but seeing her worried look, she finally nodded in agreement.
Wan Ge disinfected the other person's wound, and of course, all the tools were brought over by Su Nanyu.
…
When the child started kindergarten, Su Nanyu still didn't look for a job. He had decided to stay with Wan Ge like this. If his parents needed anything, they could come to him. If not, he would make some simple investments and wouldn't need to go to work often.
Seeing the two of them living such an easy life, Madam Su suddenly felt a little envious. Why make things difficult for herself? She also wanted to live such a life. She didn't want to wait until her grandson grew up before she could enjoy such a life.
So she found a trustworthy and highly capable person to act as her agent, and she began to live a relaxed and simple life.
Occasionally, I would pick up my grandson, take him out to play, and then send him back to kindergarten the next day.
Wan Ge was particularly happy to agree, since Mrs. Su would be taking care of the child, allowing him and Su Nanyu to enjoy some alone time.
Su Nanyu would certainly not refuse such a thing, and even wished that her mother could take her for a few more days.
Mr. Su, seeing this situation, couldn't stand it anymore. He did the same thing as his wife, sticking to her every day, and joining her when Mrs. Su was with her grandson.
…
Su Nanyu rarely engaged in self-harm afterward; in fact, it almost never happened. Especially after his children grew up, they hardly needed his care anymore. He could do whatever he wanted with his wife, even though it had always been like this.
