Side Story.
‘I’m sorry,’ Cheng Yi said.
‘Sorry for what?’ Zheng Jia Ju asked.
‘I’m sorry for injuring your arm,’ Cheng Yi said.
‘My arm is healed,’ Zheng Jia Ju said. ‘It’s my heart you’ve injured.’
‘I’m sorry,’ Cheng Yi. He couldn’t remember Zheng Jia Ju, but he wanted to take responsibility for Zheng Jia Ju and Xiao Nian. ‘Can you give me a chance to take care of you and Xiao Nian?’
Zheng Jia Ju didn’t know what Fei Yan Niao’s ulterior motive was to tell Cheng Yi the truth that she was Cheng Yi’s wife. But if Cheng Yi trusted Fei Yan Niao over her, she didn’t want Cheng Yi to be involved in Xiao Nian’s life.
‘I’m taking good care of Xiao Nian and myself,’ Zheng Jia Ju said. ‘You don’t have to feel obligated to stay. I was married to the Cheng Yi who loves me, and remembers me. I’m not married to you. My husband wouldn’t do anything to hurt me and Xiao Nian. In my eyes, my husband, and Xiao Nian’s father is dead. Mr Cheng, you can go back to living your life.’
Zheng Jia Ju put Xiao Nian into a stroller, and wheeled Xiao Nian away from Cheng Yi.
‘Xiao Bao,’ Qiao Tan Yuan called. She turned around to let Xiao Bao face Gu Jiao Wu. ‘Xiao Bao, look this is your daddy. Xiao Bao, let daddy hold you.’
Xiao Bao buried her small head into Qiao Tan Yuan’s shoulder.
‘Jiao Wu, let’s give Xiao Bao some time to be closer to you,’ Qiao Tan Yuan said.
Gu Jiao Wu was dejected Xiao Bao didn’t recognise him. But he was willing to wait until Xiao Bao grew a little bigger, and get used to having him around.
Qiao Tan Yuan gave Xiao Bao to Mrs Chu, and held Gu Jiao Wu’s hand.
‘Jiao Wu, I’ll take you to rest,’ Qiao Tan Yuan said.
Gu Jiao Wu was feeling fit and healthy. But he didn’t want to worry Qiao Tan Yuan so he followed her to her bedroom.
When Qiao Tan Yuan was making the bed, Gu Jiao Wu walked downstairs to inform Mr Qiao about their wedding plans, and returned to the bedroom at the same time Qiao Tan Yuan came out of the bathroom.
‘Jiao Wu, you can go shower,’ Qiao Tan Yuan said.
Qiao Tan Yuan was about to sit in front of the vanity table, but Gu Jiao Wu obstructed her way.
‘Why didn’t you wait for me to shower together?’ Gu Jiao Wu asked.
‘Jiao Wu, can’t you behave for a bit?’ Qiao Tan Yuan asked.
‘I can’t,’ Gu Jiao Wu said and caressed Qiao Tan Yuan’s bare shoulders. ‘I want you to help me shower.’
‘Gu Jiao Wu… I’ve showered,’ Qiao Tan Yuan said.
‘You can shower again,’ Gu Jiao Wu.
‘You… be sensible,’ Qiao Tan Yuan said. ‘Let me dry my hair. You should go into the bathroom and shower.’
‘I need you,’ Gu Jiao Wu said and carried Qiao Tan Yuan to the bathroom.
‘Gu Jiao Wu, your wound,’ Qiao Tan Yuan said.
‘I’m OK,’ Gu Jiao Wu said. ‘If you care about me then help me shower.’
‘You… then you have to promise that I’m only helping you shower,’ Qiao Tan Yuan said.
‘What can’t I do?’ Gu Jiao Wu asked innocently.
‘Just shower,’ Qiao Tan Yuan said.
