“I am indeed very curious about how you were able to buy these things, but since this is your only request of me, I respect your decision and will not ask.”

"Since you've promised me, you can't ask questions, and you can't even be curious. From now on, whatever I make for you to eat, just eat it and don't worry about where it's from."

"You can't ask questions? You can't even have curiosity?"

Su Jinru said seriously, "Yes, if you trust me and respect me, you shouldn't even have curiosity. Haven't you heard the saying that curiosity killed the man?"

"This is my only request of you. If you can't do it, our relationship will be in trouble."

Su Jinru's sudden calmness and aloofness reminded Yuan Wenjie of the first time he met her.

That was her expression and attitude back then.

She wanted to make a deal with him, but remained wary of him.

With his experience, he naturally saw through her thoughts at a glance.

He fell for her at first sight.

This woman is both innocent and mysterious, capable and clumsy.

She seems very simple; you can see right through her.

It also seems very complicated; she seems to have many secrets.

She is sincere and kind to people, yet she refuses to let others get close.

She is very upright and pure, yet she is also enigmatic.

In short, she is a woman who is captivating yet untouchable, seemingly close yet distant, and irresistibly alluring.

Because of his career, he had never considered marriage, but since meeting her, he has unconsciously developed a sense of anticipation and longing.

So he finally couldn't help but ask Minister Ye about her, only to find out that she had been married and divorced and was raising two children alone.

He suddenly understood some of her actions.

He also learned from Minister Ye that she was determined not to remarry.

Given her overall qualities, finding a suitable person to live with wouldn't be difficult, but she rejected many people's overt and covert advances.

So in her eyes, he was always just a business partner, no different from any other passerby.

The more he knew about her, the less he dared to approach her rashly.

Until that day, she called him and asked him to pretend to be her boyfriend.

He was secretly delighted; his chance had come.

So he made that promise: "Wait for me to come back, and then we'll get our marriage certificate."

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. He went on a mission and was gone for three years.

During those three years, only he knew how much he missed her.

So as soon as the mission was over, he immediately came to her side.

He planned that he would never leave her again in this lifetime, and that he would stay with her forever.

He has been in the army since he was sixteen, risking his life for nineteen years. He wants to indulge himself just once, to be selfish for once, and to take her to a place to stay for a long time.

For her sake, I want to give her a peaceful and stable life.

They finally got together, and she only made this one request. Why couldn't he agree to it?

“I swear on my life that I, Yuan Wenjie, will never inquire about where the food in your house comes from, nor will I be curious about it, nor will I have any doubts or investigations about it.”

Seeing that he actually agreed and even swore an oath with his life, Su Jinru knew that he was a man of his word.

She breathed a sigh of relief.

"Alright! I believe you can keep your promise."

The two talked as they arrived at the hospital.

When Dingxiang heard that Su Jinru had arrived, she quickly came out to greet her.

Upon seeing Yuan Wenjie in his military uniform, she asked quickly, "Aru, is this your soldier husband?"

"Yes, his name is Yuan Wenjie."

Yuan Wenjie greeted politely, "Hello, sister-in-law."

Dingxiang smiled and looked Yuan Wenjie up and down.

"Good, good, good! He's a perfect match for our Aru! I never thought that after all these years of hardship, Aru, you'd finally find the best one."

Su Jinru smiled and stole a glance at Yuan Wenjie, noticing a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth.

Su Jinru said, "Yes, in the end we met the best one."

Yuan Wenjie's smile widened even further.

"Go in quickly, let Jin Gui see the good man our Aru found."

Su Jinru and Yuan Wenjie entered the ward.

Jin Gui had heard Ding Xiang's loud, boisterous voice and struggled to get up.

Dingxiang quickly went to help him up and helped him sit up against the headboard.

Su Jinru placed the lunchbox she was holding on the bedside table, then took the fruit from Yuan Wenjie and handed it to Dingxiang.

"Sister-in-law, this is some fruit that Yuan Wenjie bought. He insisted on coming to see Brother Jingui."

Dingxiang looked at the large bag of fruit in surprise.

"My God! This stuff must be expensive! You can't buy it even if you have the money. There's too much of it, let's take some back."

"Sister-in-law, this is just a small token of his appreciation. Please don't be shy. I have more at home."

"This...this is far too expensive."

"It's nothing, it's our first meeting! It's nothing."

Su Jinru then introduced Jin Gui.

"Brother Jingui, this is my man. He came to see you. Are you feeling better today?"

"It's much better than yesterday."

“Aru, you have good taste. This person is quite good. He is so handsome. You can’t find anyone as handsome as him in the whole Daben Township.”

"It's not that I have good taste, it's that I'm lucky. I managed to snag someone like that."

Dingxiang: "Aru is so good at saying things. No wonder she's so lucky! She really struck gold."

Dingxiang and Jingui both burst into laughter.

Dingxiang then asked about Yuan Wenjie's age and family situation, and was even more impressed to learn that he was still unmarried.

"What a coincidence! This is definitely fate. You two, one in the north and one in the south, have been waiting for each other until now. You've finally found your match!"

Su Jinru poured the chicken soup into a small bowl and handed it to Dingxiang.

"Sister-in-law, stop praising him. He's getting embarrassed. Quickly feed Brother Jingui some chicken soup."

"Yes, yes, he can't sit for too long."

Dingxiang was busy feeding Jingui soup.

Su Jinru helped open the lunchbox and put some of the food into the small bowl containing chicken soup.

While feeding him, Dingxiang said, "Aru, your cooking is delicious. Jingui said that eating your cooking helps him recover faster!"

Su Jinru smiled and said, "I'm glad you like it."

“Aru, you make this chicken soup for every meal. This chicken isn’t cheap. I talked to Jingui and we decided to give you some extra money.”

"Sister-in-law, why are you being so formal with me? As long as Brother Jingui gets better soon, it's no big deal to stew a few chickens for him. I can afford a few chickens. Don't mention money to me, or I'll get angry."

Dingxiang said with difficulty, "Aru, you've put in so much money and effort, and you've been taking up your time every day to make it and deliver it to me. How can I possibly accept this?"
