207 A Post-Wedding One Year From Now (1/2)
”Nothing.” Xuxu shook her head lightly and then nodded. ”I understand.”
She released her grip and withdrew her hand slowly.
Knock knock knock.
Knocking sounds could be heard coming from behind. Yan Rusheng turned around and took a glance at the door which was left ajar. As instructed, the servant brought some food up.
When the servant walked over, Yan Rusheng extended his hand and said, ”Give it to me.”
With both hands, the servant presented the bowl to Yan Rusheng with a humble nod. ”Third Young Master, I'll take my leave.”
The servant left the room and closed the door lightly.
Yan Rusheng looked at the bowl of porridge. It was a bowl of bird's nest porridge that he'd instructed them to prepare earlier.
He stirred it lightly, scooped out a spoonful and brought it towards Xuxu. ”Open your mouth.”
His tone was still as cold as before.
Xuxu was startled and looked at Yan Rusheng without moving her mouth.
”Can't get used to me feeding you?” Yan Rusheng raised his eyebrows. His words were filled with a tinge of ridicule. ”Or do you prefer to be fed by Jiang Zhuoheng?”
Xuxu shook her head and hurriedly wiped away her tears. She stretched out her hands to take over the bowl. ”I'll help myself.”
Perhaps Grandmother's sudden demise had numbed her grief-stricken heart, but she actually showed no traces of sadness or emotion towards Yan Rusheng's mocking ridicule.
Yan Rusheng didn't make things difficult for her and passed the bowl to her.
The temperature of the porridge was just right. Xuxu lowered her head and ate, one sip after another.
You have to eat, you have to take care of your health, you have to... bear children.
At the thought of having children, her hand trembled briefly and her thick eyelashes fluttered slightly like a pair of butterfly wings. She kept the mouthful of porridge in her mouth before letting it slowly slide down her throat.
”I've already discussed the wedding details with your grandfather. We'll hold a post-wedding ceremony one year from now.”
