Chapter 234 Gathering Virtue
Chapter 234 Gathering Virtue
One sentence was enough to comfort him; I seriously suspect he did it on purpose.
But it was too late to say anything.
My face turned bright red, and I initially rejected him.
But Jiang Yichen's technique was simply too good.
I knew he was a great masseur when we got married for the first time; he even learned it specifically for me.
But I've never had a massage in the bathtub.
However, I quickly and comfortably forgot about it.
Jiang Yichen's hands were large and calloused, and they felt exceptionally comfortable when he rubbed them against my back.
"My wife's back is so beautiful."
Jiang Yichen speaks without restraint.
I tried to reach out and cover his mouth, but he grabbed my hand.
"Can't I even tell the truth?"
I was furious and embarrassed, so I decided to turn my back on him and never look back.
His large hand touched my bone gaps. "You're so thin. Just tell me what you want to eat, and I'll have the nanny arrange it."
"Know it."
I found him too long-winded, so I simply closed my eyes and ignored him.
Jiang Yichen stopped talking and applied just the right amount of pressure, which made me relax comfortably.
I was on edge a few days ago, but now I feel so comfortable that all I want to do is sleep.
I had closed my eyes and didn't want to look at him, but I ended up falling asleep.
In my hazy state, I saw Jiang Yichen pick me up and wrap me in a bath towel, as if afraid I would get cold.
"Wife."
"Hmm?" I responded vaguely.
"You've really ruined my life," he said with a wry smile.
I didn't understand what he meant. I naively thought he was referring to my kidnapping.
They put me on the big bed, and I slept even more soundly.
I had many dreams.
I dreamt that Zhao Ning kidnapped me again, and he stabbed me in the stomach with a knife. I was in so much pain that I couldn't scream.
I dreamt that I was trapped in a dark environment, and no one answered my cries for help.
A head was still stuck in his stomach, and blood was gushing from his lower body.
I screamed Jiang Yichen's name and burst into tears in fear.
I don't know how much time passed, but he descended from the sky and picked me up.
He patted my back and told me over and over that I was okay.
Finally, I dreamed that the baby was born, and he held me and called me "Mommy".
I held him in my arms, and Zhao Ning stood not far away watching us with a repentant smile.
When I opened my eyes again, it was already the morning of the next day.
After I finished washing up and went downstairs, I saw Jiang Yichen chatting with his grandmother on the sofa.
When they saw me coming over, they both focused their attention on me.
One person helped me sit on the sofa, while the other told me to hurry up and eat breakfast.
"No need, I'll get it for you."
Jiang Yichen quickly brought breakfast and milk to me, and even fed me in front of my grandmother.
I was flattered and overwhelmed. I glanced at my grandmother's ambiguous gaze, blushed, and pushed her away, saying, "I can do it myself."
Jiang Yichen insisted, "I'm used to serving the young lady. If you don't let me do it, I won't do it."
I was reminded of the past.
In the early days after we got married, Jiang Yichen treated me so well it was outrageous.
Later, fearing he wouldn't be able to persevere, I deliberately made things difficult for him. But Jiang Yichen never complained, and no matter how embarrassing my requests were, he always complied.
I took all of this for granted. I never even said thank you.
"Thank you." Perhaps feeling that saying this now would make our relationship seem a bit awkward, I added at the end, "Husband."
How shameless! I regretted saying it as soon as I finished speaking.
Grandma saw how lovey-dovey we were and left with the nanny.
Before leaving, he couldn't help but joke, "I'm getting old after all. Seeing young people so in love these days makes me envious."
After breakfast, Director Zhang called Jiang Yichen.
He was feeding me fruit after my meal, and I overheard their conversation.
Zhao Ning still wants to see me.
Jiang Yichen refused without even thinking.
Thinking about the dream I had last night, I tugged at Jiang Yichen's sleeve, indicating that I wanted to go.
Some things should be put to rest.
Jiang Yichen was helpless, but he still respected my idea.
After hanging up the phone, he had a sour face the whole way to the police station.
"What are you doing?"
Jiang Yichen parked the car and pouted when he heard my question. "I feel like I'm sending my wife to meet her ex-husband."
I smiled and kissed him on the cheek.
"Don't worry, I already have you. With such a good and handsome husband, who else could possibly be as good as me?"
Jiang Yichen looked smug, covering his mouth and secretly enjoying himself, which made me feel both love and pity for him.
Upon entering the police station, I was taken to the visiting room.
Zhao Ning's hair had been shaved off, and he was wearing prison clothes, looking completely ashen.
Only when they see me do their faces light up.
"You came."
"Is your head alright?" I asked with concern.
After all, I hit him on the head with a vase.
Zhao Ning smiled and said nonchalantly, "On the contrary, I should thank you, you pretty vase, for shattering my beautiful dream."
We smiled at each other, whether it was my nightmare or his dream. In the end, it was all just a dream, and it's all over now.
He stopped smiling and apologized to me earnestly: "I'm sorry, I was too selfish. I just... liked you too much, I really wanted to be with you, but I didn't expect to hurt you."
"But I listened to everything you said to me that night, and I've thought about it for a long time. I called you here today to say sorry. Now that I've said it, I sincerely hope you can be happy."
I nodded. In the end, Zhao Ning had taken excellent care of me these past few days; he hadn't really hurt me.
As I came out of the visiting room, I called out to Director Zhang.
"I think there's a procedure called a letter of leniency, which can help reduce his sentence."
Perhaps not expecting me to bring this up, Director Zhang paused for a moment, then hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, I didn't expect Miss Gu to have such a broad perspective."
I smiled, signed the letter of understanding, and then left the police station.
As soon as he stepped out, Jiang Yichen came up to him with displeasure.
"Why did it take you so long? Did you have so much to talk about with him?"
So sour...
I deliberately teased him, "Yeah, actually, looking back on those days, I was quite comfortable being served by him."
Jiang Yichen released my hand, clutched his chest, and began to groan.
"What happened? Did you aggravate your wound? I'm so sorry, so sorry." I rushed over to check.
He seized the opportunity and leaned in to kiss me on the lips.
When we parted, I took a bite, not too hard, not too soft.
I pushed him away in pain.
"punish."
Jiang Yichen tapped me on the head.
I glared at him. "We didn't talk for long, it just took a little time to sign the letter of understanding."
As we were talking, the two of us got into the car.
Jiang Yichen asked, puzzled, "Why should I forgive him?"
I touched my stomach and looked at the police station getting further and further away from me. Perhaps Zhao Ning was watching me from one of the windows of that towering building.
There aren't that many unforgivable things in this world.
I used to be so good to Jiang Yichen. But after the bankruptcy, besides my closest relatives, he was the only one who stayed by my side.
"Let's just consider it... doing good deeds for our baby," I said to him with a grin.
