Cheng Nuo didn't say anything, just snuggled into his arms, feeling his gentle movements, and felt numb pain on his face, but he didn't even dare to take a breath, nor did he dare to move.
"It hurts?" He Zikai saw her forbearance and asked.
"A bit." Cheng Nuo answered truthfully.
He Zikai said no more, but the movements of his hands were gentler than before.
After a long time, Cheng Nuo felt that the pain on his face had disappeared and his whole body felt relaxed.
"Zi Kai..." Cheng Nuo called softly.
"Yeah." He Zikai responded.
Cheng Nuo pursed his lips, mustered up the courage in his heart, and expressed the doubt that he had been thinking about for a long time, "That...your sister is the sister Ruirui my mother calls. Where is she...now?"
Cheng Nuo was sure that Sister Ruirui was not in the mansion at the moment, and no one in the He family seemed to have mentioned this Sister Ruirui. He Zikai had never said to himself that the old man was very enthusiastic, and he told himself this during the last chat
He mentioned a lot of things about the He family, but he never mentioned Sister Ruirui.
The movements in He Zikai's hands stopped, and his whole body became stiff.
A few seconds later, He Zikai saw that the blush on Cheng Nuo's face had disappeared, then he put the ice pack aside, wrapped his hands around her, and then answered her.
"When I was eighteen and my sister was twenty-one, she had an accident." He Zikai's tone was very calm, as if he was stating a very insignificant matter, with an indifferent look on his face, "Left...
"
Cheng Nuo was shocked, and instantly understood everything.
No wonder her mother-in-law called Sister Ruirui so excitedly, looked at herself with maternal tenderness, and thought of herself as Sister Ruirui. It turns out... Ruirui... she is no longer here.
Suddenly, something came to Cheng Nuo's mind. He pulled back his thoughts, looked at He Zikai, and asked again, "Then... is mom's illness related to Sister Ruirui's matter?"
He Zikai did not avoid it and replied with the word "hmm".
That memory is dark and painful, and is sealed in everyone's heart, but this woman wants to know that she will not hide it from her.
I want her to come into my life, and I am not sure now whether she has already come into my heart?
Cheng Nuo is very sensible and knows that such a thing is painful for anyone. Asking more questions will only open up the scars and make the person who speaks out suffer.
Cheng Nuo remained silent, put her head on his shoulder obediently, and stayed quietly in his arms.
"Nuo'er." He Zikai suddenly spoke.
"Yeah." Cheng Nuo responded, "What's wrong?"
"Do you regret marrying me?" He Zikai asked seriously.
As long as she says she has no regrets, she will be good to her in the future and in this life forever.
Her performance in front of her mother today was beyond her expectations, and at the same time, her view of this woman had also changed in her heart.
I want to cherish her, I want to...love her.
"..." Cheng Nuo didn't expect He Zikai to ask this question, and was a little stunned for a moment.
After waiting for a while, Cheng Nuo shook his head and said firmly, "I don't regret it."
If you didn't keep your love for Tianyu, what do you have to regret?
When she first married him, she only wanted a simple and peaceful life, and this man gave her such a life. Now, she is quite satisfied.
He Zikai was very satisfied with her answer, and a certain idea was solidified in his heart.
…
The two of them stayed in the living room for a long time before He Zikai carried Cheng Nuo upstairs to rest.
Walking into the bedroom, He Zikai hugged Cheng Nuo and went directly to the bathroom to take a shower.
Cheng Nuo didn't resist. After so long, his body already belonged to him, so why should she resist in front of him?
"Come here, let me see if you're feeling better?" He Zikai was sitting in the bathtub, and as he spoke, he pulled Cheng Nuo next to him.
Cheng Nuo did not move and allowed He Zikai to inspect the wound there.
After He Zikai saw it, he held Cheng Nuo tightly in his arms and whispered, "After you take a bath, I will apply medicine to you."
"Um……"
After taking a bath, He Zikai applied medicine to Cheng Nuo very gently, and then carried Cheng Nuo to bed to rest.
The two of them were lying on the bed. He Zikai finally couldn't help it anymore and kissed Cheng Nuo's lips...
Just now in the bathroom, I was thinking... But considering her body, she kept restraining herself. She would be on the bed now. Even though she knew she couldn't touch it, she couldn't help it in the end...
"Zi Kai..." Cheng Nuo took the opportunity to call out He Zikai, and pressed his hands hard against his chest, trying to tell him not to act recklessly, as his body was not fully recovered yet.
"I won't touch that place." He Zikai knew what she was worried about, so he said nothing and continued to seal the woman's lips.
…
In the morning, Cheng Nuo slept in He Zikai's arms until he woke up naturally before getting up.
Opening his eyes and seeing the man sleeping lightly, Cheng Nuo felt an inexplicable feeling of happiness in his heart.
It's great to see him when you open your eyes...
Stretching out his hand, Cheng Nuo gently stroked the man's cheek. He wanted to touch the beautiful contours on his face.
He Zikai vaguely felt the itching on his face, but did not open his eyes and allowed her to act freely.
I will still give this power to my own woman.
As soon as Cheng Nuo took his hand back, He Zikai opened his eyes.
Cheng Nuo felt a little embarrassed. Did he wake him up?
"Are you... awake?" Cheng Nuo asked, with a hint of laziness and sleepiness in his voice, which sounded very soft.
"Yeah." He Zikai replied, his eyes fixed on her face.
Seeing that her face was no longer bloated, I felt somewhat relieved.
"Then, get up. I'm a little hungry. I'll go downstairs for dinner later." After Cheng Nuo finished speaking, he got up and got out of bed and walked to the bathroom.
He Zikai said nothing and got out of bed to wash up.
After the two of them washed up and had breakfast, Cheng Nuo sat in the living room and watched TV, while He Zikai went upstairs to the study.
There wasn't much going on on the weekend. Cheng Nuo spent the whole morning on the sofa watching TV.
In the study room, He Zikai was sitting at the desk, browsing the documents on the computer.
Suddenly, the mobile phone placed aside rang.
He Zikai took the phone and looked at it. The three words "Song Jingye" were displayed on the screen. He then connected the phone and put it to his ear.
"Hey, Zikai, are you home?" There was a carefree voice on the phone.
"Yes." He Zikai responded and asked, "Are you back?"
"I just got off the plane this morning and went home to say hello to my family. I wanted to meet my new sister-in-law, so I called you." Song Jingye's voice always had a sense of brisk excitement.
Song Jingye is He Zikai's best friend. The He family and the Song family are both well-known families in Sihanouk City, so they have known each other since they were young. They went to kindergarten together until they went abroad to study management. For He Zikai, Song Jingye is the only one worth mentioning.
The brother he trusts, and for Song Jingye, He Zikai is his lifelong friend. (To be continued)
