Started as a thatched house and ended up as a female figure

This time, Madam Wang didn't stop her anymore, but she wanted to help Cheng Wan to the clean room.

"I feel much better now, I can manage on my own." Cheng Wan moved her left arm and leg to show Wang Shi how she felt.

Cheng Wan insisted on going to the clean room by herself. Wang Shi could not persuade her otherwise, so she had to let go, but her eyes followed Cheng Wan's back closely, afraid that she might make a mistake.

Just then, a soft knock came from outside the door.

Thinking it was a maid bringing food, Madam Wang said, "Come in."

The person who came was indeed there to deliver food, but it wasn't a maid from the Zhaoping Marquis's residence; it was Gu Yan.

“Aunt…” Gu Yan said calmly, only his ears were slightly red: “I…I really miss her.”

When Wang met Gu Yan's sincere and anxious gaze, she sighed softly and said in a gentle voice, "I'm hungry too. I'm going to get something to eat. You can take care of Awan here."

"Thank you, aunt."

Gu Yan thanked Madam Wang sincerely.

Even though they weren't married and it was late at night, Wang Shi's permission for Gu Yan and Cheng Wan to be alone together was already a huge breach of the rules.

The reason why Madam Wang could trust Gu Yan so much was because she had seen how Gu Yan treated Cheng Wan.

This affection cannot be faked.

Wang gently patted Gu Yan's arm, turned and walked out, carefully closing the door behind them.

After leaving the clean room, Cheng Wan felt much more relaxed.

“Mother…” Cheng Wan stared blankly at Gu Yan in the room: “A-Yan…”

Gu Yan stood there with the food box in his hand, his gaze fixed greedily and unwaveringly on Cheng Wan.

Wearing an outer robe, his dark hair was scattered messily over his shoulders, and his face was still pale, but he seemed much more lively than during the day.

Cheng Wan was also observing Gu Yan.

She seemed to have lost some weight, and her facial features were sharper, but her usually calm and collected eyes were now churning with too many emotions.

"What are you doing standing there?" Cheng Wan spoke first, pointing to the lunchbox Gu Yan was carrying, her eyes smiling, "Didn't you bring me food? I'm starving."

Gu Yan seemed to be startled awake, and quickly walked to the low table by the bed and took out the food from the lunchbox one by one.

Cheng Wan sat down next to Gu Yan and peeked at the food Gu Yan had taken out.

A bowl of soft and sticky chicken porridge, two plates of refreshing side dishes, and a plate of jujube and yam cake.

Although it was simple, it contained all her favorite foods.

This is what she can eat now.

Gu Yan scooped up a spoonful of porridge, blew on it carefully, and then brought it to Cheng Wan's lips.

Cheng Wan was slightly taken aback, but did not refuse, and obediently opened her mouth and swallowed.

The warm porridge slid into my stomach, bringing a real sense of warmth.

"Why did you come in person?" Cheng Wan stared at Gu Yan's long, drooping eyelashes, her eyes darting around, and teased softly, "Did you miss me?"

Gu Yan paused, then looked up and met Cheng Wan's gaze.

Then, to Cheng Wan's somewhat surprised gaze, Gu Yan lowered his head and placed a kiss on the corner of Cheng Wan's lips.

"Yes, I missed you, I missed you so much..." Gu Yan's voice was low and magnetic, with a hoarse tone that sounded like the dust had settled: "I heard you woke up, and I really couldn't wait any longer."

Cheng Wan's heart felt as if it had been gently bumped by something, leaving it tender and sore.

“I’m fine,” Cheng Wan said, looking at Gu Yan’s slightly red eyes. She repeated herself, this time with even more certainty, “Really, it’s just some superficial injuries. It will be fine after some rest.”

Just a superficial injury?

It's more than just a superficial injury.

Gu Yan's knuckles, which were gripping the spoon, turned slightly white.

He opened his mouth as if to say something, but no sound came out.

Cheng Wan extended her left hand and gently placed it on the back of Gu Yan's hand, which was holding the spoon.

“It’s all in the past, Ayan.” Cheng Wan’s voice was soft, yet it carried a comforting power: “I’m back.”

I am back.

Those four simple words instantly shattered Gu Yan's carefully maintained composure.

Crystalline tears welled up in Gu Yan's eyes and streamed down his pale cheeks.

Cheng Wan gently wiped away Gu Yan's tears, her tone as soft as if she were coaxing a young child: "Don't cry, it breaks my heart to see you cry."

Listen to what Cheng Wan said; she completely coaxed Gu Yan into becoming a wronged, pitiful dog.

The wronged dog repairman is still crying.

But while the aggrieved Xiu Gou was shedding tears, he steadily fed Cheng Wan porridge.

The scene made Cheng Wan want to laugh.

But she held back.

We should always give the dog repairman some face.
