Chapter 719 - Bitter Question
Chapter 719: Bitter Question
“I’ve eaten. There’s no need for you to busy yourself.” Truthfully, Fang Shaohua hadn’t had dinner yet. He only said so because he did not wish for her to worry.
He changed into a pair of slippers and saw that her face was bare without any make-up. Her skin was fair and soft, and her five features were very beautiful. Why hadn’t he ever noticed that she was so beautiful?
She wore a pink set of pajamas with cartoon prints on it. It made her appear slightly mischievous and adorable.
His gaze lingered on her for a moment.
Sun Jiamu poured him a cup of tea and sliced some fruit onto a plate for him. “Drink some hot tea and have some fruit first.”
She then turned to head into the kitchen. A moment later, she stepped out with a plate of freshly prepared fried rice. She handed it to him. “Even if you’ve had dinner, you should still eat something.”
In fact, she knew that he had yet to eat. He was likely afraid of troubling her.
It was only 6:30 in the evening and he had just returned from abroad. It was unlikely that he had the time to eat on his way back.
Fang Shaohua glanced at her for a moment. He felt that she was very considerate. He received the plate and began to eat the fried rice that she had personally prepared.
The two of them sat in silence.
Sun Jiamu headed into the bathroom in the main bedroom. She washed the bathtub before filling it with hot water. She then found a clean set of pajamas and placed it on the towel rack. “Hubby, go take a bath after you’ve eaten. The trip must have been tiring. Take this opportunity to relax.”
“En.” Fang Shaohua’s voice could be heard from the living room.
Sun Jiamu came out again and took the empty plate from him. “Do you want a little more food?”
She placed the empty plate in the kitchen. The part-time worker would come by tomorrow to wash it.
Fang Shaohua stepped into the main bedroom to see that the tub was filled. He glanced at the towel rack. She had even thoughtfully prepared his pajamas for him.
He took off his clothes and took a long bath.
Twenty minutes later, Fang Shaohua stepped into the bedroom in his pajamas. Sun Jiamu saw that his hair was wet. She reached for the hairdryer to help him dry his hair.
He frowned. “I’ll do it myself.”
“It’s alright, I’ll help you.” She smiled.
“I said I’ll do it myself!” He was used to being taken care of by anyone, especially women!
Her expression stiffened for a moment. She handed the hairdryer to him. “Sure.”
Her backview was slightly gloomy as she left the room. His heart ached strangely. “Jiamu…”
She turned back with a smile to ask. “What is it, Hubby?”
“I’m just not used to being taken care of. In the future, you don’t have to do these things for me.” After all, she was a daughter from a wealthy family. These weren’t things she was supposed to do.
Sun Jiamu felt extremely bitter.
Aside from all these things, what else could she possibly do for him?
She was his newly wedded wife, but he did not even desire intimacy between them.
As he dried his hair in the room, the noise from the hairdryer interrupted the quiet in the apartment.
Sun Jiamu sat in a daze on the couch.
During the past two years, she had learned that Fang Shaohua was a very loyal and stubborn man.
Fang Xinxin had left a very deep mark on his heart. She wasn’t certain if she could ever obtain his love in this lifetime.
She really wanted to ask him whether he really slept with Fang Xinxin.
If it was true, even if this was in the past, she realised that… the possibility alone left her heart bleeding.
Right now, Fang Shaohua and her were like strangers who had married.
She was afraid that if she asked, their weak and awkward relationship would fall apart.
She also did not dare to ask Fang Xinxin about this. She was afraid that she would lose her only good friend.
Hence, she could only swallow this bitterness down.
