Xiao Beiguo stood up, and Su Xiaowan subconsciously asked, "Where are you going?"

"I'll go get you something to eat. You didn't eat anything last night. If you don't eat something, you won't be able to sleep well in the middle of the night."

Su Xiaowan felt a surge of sadness in her heart. He actually still remembered it.

When they had just gotten married, one night she was in a bad mood and didn't eat, and she was so hungry that she couldn't sleep in the middle of the night.

Later, Xiao Beiguo endured the severe winter and got up to make her a bowl of noodles.

"What's wrong? Are you not used to it?"

Xiao Beiguo just thought that she was upset because of what happened that night, so he stroked her face and said, "I'm not leaving. I'll stay in the outer room."

"Well, I'm fine."

Watching Xiao Beiguo stride out, Su Xiaowan's eyes became a little moist. She blinked to stop the tears from falling.

Xiao Beiguo came in with a bowl of seafood porridge, which was still steaming.

"This was made by someone in Nancheng. I put it outside to keep it warm."

Xiao Beiguo stirred it with a spoon and blew at the same time.

After blowing for a long time, he scooped a spoonful and handed it to Su Xiaowan's mouth, "Try it and see if it's still hot."

Seeing how attentive he was, Su Xiaowan couldn't help but smile and reached out for the bowl. "I'm not Xixi and I don't need someone to feed me. I can do it myself. You can eat a little too."

"It's okay, I'll eat later. Your fingers are all peeled, just lie down and wait."

Only then did Su Xiaowan notice that some parts of her fingertips were rubbed raw.

"The doctor gave me some medicine. It will be painful for the next two days. Don't touch water. Rest well at home when you get back."

"It's okay, it's just a broken skin, it will be fine in a few days."

Su Xiaowan was numb from the pain and didn't feel much. Now her fingertips felt like radish heads, extremely red and swollen.

"Be obedient. The weather is cold now. If you don't take good care of yourself, you might get sick if you catch a cold later."

Xiao Beiguo handed the porridge to her mouth. Su Xiaowan opened her mouth and ate it. It was fresh, fragrant, soft and glutinous, and tasted great without any fishy smell.

"How about it?"

"It tastes very good and sweet. You can try some later."

Xiao Beiguo hummed and fed her one spoonful at a time. Soon, the bowl was empty.

"I'll serve you another bowl."

"No, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep well at night if I eat too much." Although Su Xiaowan was not very full, her appetite was not very good at the moment.

"Okay, I'll get you some water to wash your face."

Song Nancheng had someone send a set of clothes over before, and he helped change them.

"Go eat something first. You probably didn't eat much tonight."

Su Xiaowan looked at the faint dark circles between his eyebrows. Xiao Beiguo had not had a good rest these days.

Something like this happened again tonight, and he must feel very bad.

"I'm fine, I'll eat later."

Xiao Beiguo got up and fetched some water, washed Su Xiaowan's face, and carefully scrubbed her fingers.

Watching him scrubbing carefully, afraid of hurting her, Su Xiaowan felt warm in her heart.

"What do you think about what happened tonight, Brother Nancheng?"

She didn't want to let this matter go.

"Xiao Wan, Jiang Beiting is Mayor Jiang's son. Even if we call the police, there's no way this matter can be resolved."

"Do you mean to just let this matter go?" Su Xiaowan still had some expectations in her heart.

"We can't just let it go like this, but reporting this to the police will only make it go away."

Xiao Beiguo held her in his arms, his voice choking, "Xiao Wan, with my current abilities, I can't make Jiang Beiting pay a heavy price."

"But believe me, I will make him pay the price in other ways. I won't let you suffer these grievances in vain tonight."

Su Xiaowan asked in a tearful voice, "What are you going to do? Jiang Beiting does deserve it, but if you don't let the police handle it and you solve it yourself, you will be breaking the law."

She really wanted to vent her anger, but she couldn't let Xiao Beiguo get hurt because of her.

"Don't worry about that. For you and Xixi, I will be fine. But as a man, I can't let my woman get hurt so badly and do nothing!"

"Xiao Wan, believe me, I will make sure he gets the retribution he deserves."

Leaning in Xiao Beiguo's arms, listening to his strong heartbeat, Su Xiaowan's eyes were filled with tears.

"Well, I believe you."

With his words, she was satisfied even if the final result was not satisfactory.

That night, Su Xiaowan slept very uneasily, and the scene of the banquet kept appearing in her dreams.

Several times she struggled, cried and shouted in her sleep.

Xiao Beiguo hugged her tightly, looking at the frightened and helpless expression on her face, the anger in his eyes almost reached its peak.

He kept comforting Su Xiaowan. He hardly slept the whole night, so that when he woke up the next day, his eyes were bloodshot.

Song Nancheng had someone prepare a sumptuous breakfast. Seeing that Su Xiaowan was in much better spirits, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Sister Xiaowan, after breakfast, I'll ask the driver to take you back. I'll take care of what happened last night and give you an explanation."

"Brother Nancheng, thank you. This will be a difficult matter. If it doesn't work, forget it."

Although Su Xiaowan really wanted Jiang Beiting to pay the price, she was also well aware of her own abilities, and she also knew how difficult it was for ordinary people to seek justice these days.

And only a few people actually witnessed what happened last night, so it is extremely difficult to convict Jiang Beiting.

"Don't worry about this. I will find a way. I have disliked Jiang Beiting for a long time. It's time to teach him a lesson."

Song Nancheng told Mayor Jiang about this last night. His attitude was good, but that doesn't mean he will accept it.

If Jiang Beiting didn't surrender himself, he would no longer give him face.

"Nancheng, Mayor Jiang has been here for a long time and has deep roots. Please don't be so open about this to avoid causing you trouble."

Xiao Beiguo knew that he really wanted to seek justice for Su Xiaowan, but he couldn't let Song Nancheng offend people openly.

"I treat you as my brother and Xiaowan as my sister. She has suffered so much injustice. If I, as the eldest brother, am afraid of this and that, am I still worthy of being the eldest brother?"

Song Nancheng was firm in his attitude, "I will definitely ask for an explanation for this matter. Sister Xiaowan, go back and have a good rest."

Knowing that he couldn't persuade her, Xiao Beiguo didn't say much. After having breakfast, he took Su Xiaowan back home.

Song Nancheng also asked people to pack up a lot of desserts and other food.

When they got home, Su Xiaowan and Xiao Beiguo got out of the car and saw Li Qian coming out of her house, limping.

Su Xiaowan's face immediately darkened, and she asked in dissatisfaction, "What are you doing in my house?"

"Of course I came to look for the North Country."

Li Qian had actually been waiting in the yard for quite a while.

She just wanted to see if Xiao Beiguo really hated Su Xiaowan.

Seeing his eyes full of bloodshot and full of pride, she knew that he would never believe Su Xiaowan!

"Beiguo, haven't you figured it out yet? Su Xiaowan is not a woman who is content with what she has."

"She used such despicable means to hook up with Mayor Jiang's son last night. She will definitely do so again in the future. Do you still want a woman like this?"
