Leng Mohan never thought that Luo Jiaojiao's hesitation was because she hated the tedious process of removing fish bones.
She wanted to eat, but she didn't want to face this small challenge. If someone else had said that, he might have ignored her and let her solve it on her own. It didn't matter if she didn't eat. If she didn't eat, he could eat more. Why would he find fault with her? Her idea was too naive.
Luo Jiaojiao buried her head in the table, not even daring to look Leng Mohan in the face.
However, Leng Mohan somehow picked up the fish and gently placed it on the lid of the lunch box.
He carefully picked out each fish bone, as if he was doing something extremely important. Yes, this was the person he married, and he had promised to give her a comfortable life. What was picking out fish bones? He was willing to do these little things for her, as long as she was happy.
A piece of tender fish meat, taken right from the belly of the fish, is spotlessly white and contains almost no annoying fish bones.
Leng Mohan carefully examined it and confirmed that it was correct before gently placing it in front of Luo Jiaojiao. This was his small reward for her helping him collect the clothes.
Luo Jiaojiao looked at the fish in front of her, her eyes flashing with disbelief. She looked up at Leng Mohan, and couldn't believe that this always cold man would actually pick out the fish bones for her. Her heart was filled with joy, as if she had found an unexpected treasure.
"Why are you looking at me? Eat quickly." Leng Mohan's tone was still cold, but his eyes revealed a hint of imperceptible tenderness.
Luo Jiaojiao picked up the chopsticks and savored the fish meat carefully. The delicious taste spread in her mouth, making her want to eat more.
After finishing the fish, Leng Mohan stood up and said to Luo Jiaojiao, "It's not completely dark yet, I'll take you to see our new house. You can imagine how to decorate it, and when I'm done, we can move in together."
After hearing this, Luo Jiaojiao's eyes flashed with anticipation.
Luo Jiaojiao caught the meaning of his words, which was that he only planned to take her to see the house today, and the subsequent visits would have to wait until the house was tidied up.
She stared at Leng Mohan, her eyes full of seriousness and expectation, "I can also contribute, and then we can tidy up our new home together."
When Luo Jiaojiao said "our new home", Leng Mohan felt a warm current in his heart. He was finally no longer alone, but had a home of his own, a home built together with her.
However, although he was touched, Leng Mohan decisively rejected her kindness.
"No one has lived here for a long time. There is dust and dirt everywhere. I'm afraid you can't stand such an environment. If the dust triggers an allergic reaction and you fall ill, I'll have to take care of you, which will be troublesome. I know some people do get allergic reactions due to excessive dust, but it seems that you don't have any concerns in this regard. If you really come to help, I'm afraid it will only cause more trouble."
"Forget it. I'll ask my comrades to help me when the time comes. If they come to my house for a meal, we can get things ready faster. In this way, we can also complete the move faster."
"Then...can you let me observe outside, and then take action when my help is really needed? I will be obedient and just follow your instructions, how about that?" Luo Jiaojiao still wanted to observe from the side, maybe she would really be useful later.
