Chapter 63 Calling Me Husband
After dinner, Jiang Xu went into the study to study.
There was a knock on the door. He Yanting was standing at the door with a glass of milk in his hand: "Pregnant women need to supplement calcium."
Jiang Xu put down the pen in her hand and looked at him: "You don't have to do so much."
He Yanting walked over, put the milk down, and gently stroked the top of her head with his big hand: "It's only natural to treat your wife well."
Jiang Xu pursed her lips: "It's just a fake marriage."
He Yanting paused, but his expression quickly returned to normal: "Drink it while it's hot."
The milk was at the perfect temperature. Jiang Xu drank it all and He Yanting took the cup and left.
When he reached the door, he turned around and said, "You have to make sure you get enough sleep now and return to your bedroom before eleven o'clock, otherwise I don't mind forcing you to rest."
"knew."
Jiang Xu responded and lowered his head to continue studying.
When she was concentrating, time flew by, and when she looked at the time again, it was five minutes past eleven.
She quickly turned off the computer, got up and went back to the bedroom.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw He Yanting leaning against the head of the bed, with his eyes closed, seemingly asleep.
Jiang Xu couldn't help but slow down her pace and walked to the bedside. She saw that he was holding a book called "One Page a Day During Pregnancy".
She leaned over gently and looked at He Yanting.
Even though that intense and lingering love no longer existed, Jiang Xu had to admit that this was a face that would still amaze anyone even if they saw it for the millionth time.
He has long, black and smooth eyebrows, three-dimensional brow bones, a high nose bridge, thin, rosy and sexy lips, smooth and delicate skin, and no greasy feeling at all. He is as perfect as a cartoon character.
Especially his eyelashes, which were long and thick. When they were in love, she loved to play with his eyelashes.
Jiang Xu was about to get up when He Yanting slowly opened his eyes.
Their eyes met, Jiang Xu's mind went blank for a moment, and he subconsciously stepped back, only to have his wrist grabbed.
He Yanting's eyes were filled with laziness and fatigue, and he spoke in a voice full of magnetism: "If you want to watch, just watch for a while longer."
"Who wants to see you?" Jiang Xu pushed him away.
He Yanting raised the corner of his mouth: "Then what were you doing just now?"
Jiang Xu said, "It just depends on whether you're dead or not. There's been a lot of news lately about people dying suddenly from overwork. If you die, maybe I can get a share of the inheritance."
He Yanting sneered, "If you want a share of the inheritance, you have to replace your marriage certificate with a real one first. Or should we go to the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow?"
Jiang Xu realized that he couldn't win the argument with him, so he shut up.
She placed a pillow between them and lay down on the other side of the bed.
He Yanting glanced at the woman with her back to her, picked up a strand of her hair with his long fingers, and played with it around his fingertips.
"What's going on with your cousin?"
Jiang Xu: "None of your business."
He Yanting lowered his head and sniffed the fragrance on her hair, then said with a half-smile, "They've all gone out to serve drinks. They seem to be very short of money. Can you handle it?"
Jiang Xu said: "I told you, it's none of your business."
"Well, as long as you can handle it, I just want to remind you, don't forget that you still have your husband to rely on."
He Yanting let down his hair and lightly tapped the pillow between them with his fingertips.
Jiang Xu turned her head to look at him: "I also remind you, don't forget that our marriage is fake, you are not my husband."
He Yanting raised his eyebrows: "Want to make a bet?"
Jiang Xu frowned and didn't answer, knowing that there must be another trap.
He Yanting said to himself, "I bet it won't be long before I can make you call me husband."
"Dream on!"
Jiang Xu turned her head away and didn't look at him.
Behind him, He Yanting let out a low laugh: "Ruanruan, you know me. I will definitely accomplish what I am determined to do."
With a snap, the lights went out.
Jiang Xu was a little tired today and fell asleep quickly.
Before falling asleep, she thought that with such a big pillow blocking her way, she would never be able to go to his side tonight.

It was already late at night when Lin Yue, Zhuang Ze and Huo Qi Yu came out of the hospital.
Zhuang Ze looked at Lin Yue's head wrapped in three layers of gauze and couldn't help laughing.
"Lin Er, you have a big head to begin with, and now you're like the real-life Big Head Son. Coincidentally, I have a small head, so I can be your Small Head Dad."
Lin Yue glared at him: "Get lost."
Huo Qiyu said, "I have a sincere suggestion. You should avoid provoking Jiang Xu in the future. Don't you think Fourth Brother treats her differently now?"
Lin Yue sneered: "What a difference! It's all for the shares. When she gets the shares, Fourth Brother won't even look at her."
Zhuang Ze agreed: "No matter how Fourth Brother treated Jiang Xu before, it couldn't be said that he had no interest in her. He simply disliked her. How could he suddenly like her again? To put it bluntly, it was all for personal gain."
Huo Qiyu frowned: "But I still feel it's not right."
Lin Yue patted him and said, "Where are you going to turn your elbow? Jiang Xueruo calls you Brother Qi Yu every day."
He suddenly became interested: "I have a good idea, why don't we make a bet to see whether Fourth Brother cares more about Jiang Xu or Xue Ruo."
Zhuang Ze raised his eyebrows: "What do you think?"
"Aren't you moving into a new house at the beginning of next month?"
Lin Yue chuckled, "Let's find a way to get the two girls together, do some small work, and let Fourth Brother choose."
Zhuang Ze clapped his hands: "This is interesting!"
Lin Yue asked, "How about it, Qi Yu, do you dare to bet?"
Huo Qiyu asked: "What are you betting on?"
Lin Yue thought for a moment and said, "A McLaren can't be less than five million."
Huo Qiyu tsked his words, "Such a big bet? Fine."
"Fuck, are you guys serious?"
Zhuang Ze was surprised, then he chuckled, "Then my housewarming party will be something special. I must spend a lot of money on it."

Jiang Xu had a very rough sleep that night.
It was fine at first, but then it got colder and colder, and she felt very sleepy. In her dream, she was lost in the snow.
Later, after walking hard, crossing mountains and rivers, I finally found a bonfire.
She just wanted to get closer to the fire, closer and closer, and soon her whole body would be warm.
When Jiang Xu woke up the next day, he opened his eyes and found himself lying alone in the quilt. He breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was not like yesterday.
But the next second she found something wrong. She seemed to be lying in He Yanting's quilt.
The pillow that was originally blocking the middle has disappeared.
He Yanting was not in bed either.
Thinking carefully, could it be that the dream I had last night of climbing over mountains and crossing rivers was actually about climbing over my pillow? Then, couldn't that fire be He Yanting?
Jiang Xu was feeling depressed when He Yanting appeared at the door: "Hurry up and wash up, dinner will be served soon."
Jiang Xu quickly covered his head with the quilt.
He Yanting walked to the bedside and patted her gently: "What's wrong? Are you still cold?"
A small gap appeared in the quilt, and Jiang Xu asked, "How do you know I'm cold?"
He Yanting said seriously, "Last night in the middle of the night, you suddenly said you were cold, and you ran into my bed, hugging me tightly and refusing to let go."
Jiang Xu looked hopeless and didn't dare to look him in the eye: "I... I fell asleep and didn't know what I was doing."
He Yanting raised the corners of his lips slightly: "It's okay, I said, I'm very generous, if you want to see me, want to keep me warm, I welcome you anytime."
As he spoke, he leaned over and said into the quilt, "Do you need me to describe to you in detail how you touched me last night?"
"Get out!"
Jiang Xu covered herself with the quilt and screamed in embarrassment.
