wife

The huddled silhouette in memory overlapped with the busy back in the kitchen now, and Naying realized that the feeling of peace of mind was watching Xianzi gradually adapt to the current life. Many, although there is still a strange distance between them.

Naying suddenly felt a burst of heat on her legs, and looked down, it was Enbiao who had just woken up and was hugging her, and her pants seemed to be used as a towel by her small face.

"Eunbiao, why are you arguing with Auntie again?" Hyunja who brought out hot soup from the kitchen scolded softly, and then Eunbiao obediently sat down at the dining table, her innocent eyes still staring at Naying.

Naying couldn't help laughing slightly.For some reason, Enbiao seems to have a special hit with her. When she took Enbiao back to Han's house, Enbiao always clings to herself with no one, but now she wants to act like a baby when they get up together.This reminded her of how Minzhu used to call "Mom, Mom" ​​every day when she was a child, and Eunbiao, who went to kindergarten, seems to have inherited her parents' personality of not talking much, and she likes to express her emotions with actions.

Now that Minzhu is boarding outside, there are only the three of them left at home. Fortunately, she has a favor, which can more or less resolve the embarrassment between her and Hyunja.

"eat more."

Seeing Hyunja pushing the plate in front of her with short chopsticks and then hastily retracting it, Naying couldn't help but smile.Xianzi is really good at taking care of people, and she is even more adept at family affairs, but Xianzi even conceals his concern so much, this politeness has formed a gap virtually.

"After I send Enbiao to the school bus to go to work, besides vegetables and eggs, is there anything else I need to buy?" The conversation between them is always so distant and polite. It seems calm on the surface, but it comes from The two sides are not used to and unfamiliar with each other.

Xianzi shook her head, and while helping Enbiao put her schoolbag on her back to tidy up her appearance, she sent the two of them out.

When they got to the door, they suddenly heard Xianzi say, "Be careful on the road."

That gentle voice made Naying's heart flutter, and Hyunja responded with a warm smile.

It seems that for many years, she has never heard anyone send her a word of caution when going out, and no one has ever waited for her at the door.However, the appearance of Xianzi disrupted the routine of her life for many years. The casual warmth seemed to make her feel a sense of expectation for the word "family" besides the responsibility.No wonder Shang Zhen fell in love with Xian Zi, and Na Ying gradually realized that he really received such meticulous care.

"Why are you frowning so early in the morning? Is it because you are not getting along well with Ms. Xianzi?" President Nan asked jokingly as soon as he came in.

"You hope so much that I have problems getting along with Ms. Xianja?" Facing Nam Hyun-pil who knows the whole story, Naying has always kept nothing secret.

"But is there really no problem between you two? Ordinary people would not tolerate this situation." Seeing Naying frown again, Nam Hyun-pil only responded with a wry smile. "Naying, don't you know that I'm still waiting for you? I hope you can marry me, move out of the Han family, and find a way out of the current situation."

Naying said nothing.She knew that Xian Bi had been waiting for her for a long time, and when Shang Zhen lost the news, she was exhausted physically and mentally, and wanted to agree to Xian Bi's marriage proposal.After she decided to go to the UK, Xian Pi also shifted the focus of her career, and asked Xian Pi why she only got one sentence, "I have long wanted to come to the UK to develop my career."

"Let's take a look at this design first, it seems that there are some minor problems." Seeing this, Xian Bi also changed the subject in due course.

The two discussed the details of the design drawing for a long time before finally finalizing it. When discussing the next season's clothing style, Naying opened the bag and looked for it for a while before apologizing to Xianbi: "I seem to have left the manuscript at home. Let me go back and get it, and we can discuss it in the afternoon?"

"Shall I have lunch with you then?"

"Need not."

Naying hardly ever came home around noon, so she never knew what Hyunja would do during this time.When she opened the door of the house, she was greeted with a deserted room, which was indescribably desolate compared to always seeing Hyunja on the sofa, mending or cleaning the table when she came home from get off work.

"Hyunja, are you there?" She called softly a few times, but she couldn't see anyone, so Naying went back to her room to get the design manuscript.When passing Xianzi's room, he heard a few muffled voices.

Naying tried to knock on the door but got no response, so she had to open it by herself. When she entered the room, she found Hyunja's face was pale and her limbs were curled up at the corner of the bed.

"What's wrong? Are you uncomfortable?"

Hyun Jae was startled by someone, obviously startled. "You... why are you back at this time?"

Naying put her hand on Hyunja's forehead, luckily she didn't have a fever. "Are you sick? Shall I drive you to the doctor?"

Xianzi blushed instantly. "I'm fine, just lie down for a while and I'll be fine. This problem happens once a month, but today it's suddenly very serious..."

Na Ying understood, and asked after a while as if she remembered something, "So you were feeling unwell this morning?"

"It's not morning yet..."

With a slight sigh in her heart, Naying understood that Hyunja had a stubborn personality, so she didn't say much, and just quietly left the room.

After a while, he came back again with a cup in his hand.

"This is hot cocoa, it will taste better if you drink it sweet." Seeing Xianzi try to sit up and carefully sip the cup of hot cocoa, the color on his face seemed to recover a little. "feel better now?"

Hyunja nodded, drank the hot cocoa and went back to sleep before Naying took the cup to the kitchen.

After washing the cup and putting it back in place, Naying opened the refrigerator to help Hyunja get something to eat, but got up in a daze until an exclamation came from behind.

"You haven't gone back to work yet?"

Naying didn't answer, she just asked Hyunja, "What do you eat for lunch?"

"...Eat whatever you want."

The two were silent for a long time before Naying finally broke the silence. "From now on, I will go home to eat at noon, can you help me prepare lunch?"

"But..." Hyunja wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Naying.

"Let's go out for lunch. The refrigerator at home is empty, isn't it?"

"Xianpi, I'm off work first." When the time came, Naying began to pack her things.

"It's so early today?" President Nan asked in surprise.

"Maybe I will leave work this early in the future." Naying walked to the door and turned around again. "Also, Xianbi, you don't have to wait for me to have lunch with you in the future."

When they got home, the people who were sitting on the sofa stood up quickly when they heard the door open. Seeing that it was Naying, they lowered their faces and said nothing.

Naying felt faintly angry in her heart, but she couldn't express it.

She doesn't like Xianzi's birth status, and seems to position herself as a servant of the family.Did Xianzi not eat at noon when she was away?Why make yourself so humble?Since she decided to live with Xianzi, there should be family equality between them, instead of rushing around like a wronged little daughter-in-law.

"I'll help you warm up the soup." Xianzi wanted to take something from her hand, but she held it.

"You don't need to be busy, I put the things in the refrigerator, if you feel uncomfortable, sit and rest."

Hyunja sat restlessly on the sofa until a cup of hot cocoa was stuffed into his hand.

"It's very cold today, drink something hot to be warmer." Naying wrapped her hands around the coffee cup, enjoying the heat brought by the coffee. "Letting you tidy up the house by yourself every day is hard work. I will try to come back as soon as possible to help when I am free. We are family and we should be considerate of each other."

"But you're busy with work..."

"I can take the design drawings home and make them again." Naying wanted to smile after she finished speaking.In the past, she always used the excuse that the design drawings were not completed and tried her best not to go home. Now it is rare for her to commute to and from get off work on time. If her mother-in-law or uncle finds out about this, she will probably stare wide-eyed in disbelief.

But only in this way can she be sure whether this Xianzi who only takes care of others but never takes care of himself eats on time.It's just verbal warnings that won't be effective, and she will be obedient only if she takes action. This is the experience she has gained from many fights with Xianzi.

"What are you going to cook tomorrow?" She asked in a good mood, only to see Xianzi draw the rim of the cup with his fingers, and suddenly raised his head.

The clear eyes were reflected in her pupils like this, and it was only after looking at her from such a close distance that Xianzi's eyes were crooked, like a kitten, and if she acted like a baby, she might be as greasy as a cat.

"Do you want to eat?" Hyunja spoke in that cautious tone again, she reached out to hold the restless hand that was circling around the rim of the cup, and slowly shook her head after realizing her gaffe.

She wanted to tell Xianzi, don't use such a sincere tone to her again, her heart will be very panicked.As for the feeling of being lost, she couldn't say.

At dinner time, with Enbiao's cute eating appearance, the atmosphere is much more relaxed.She watched Xianzi wipe Enbiao's mouth carefully, and then babbled about a lot of rules. After getting along for a day, the things she said to Xianzi were not as much as Xianzi was talking about now.

Sending Enbiao to the study to study, suddenly heard Enbiao calling mother. "I don't understand this, how do you pronounce it?"

She stood outside the door and listened for a long time before she heard Xianzi say, "This mother doesn't know how to do it either. I'll go to school tomorrow and ask the teacher if I'm okay?"

When she took a closer look, she realized that it was an English letter.

First, she patted the back of Hyunja's hand, revealing a reassuring look in Hyunja's eyes, before Naying sat down beside Eunpyo. "Mom is not feeling well today. Let mom go to rest first. Auntie will teach you, okay?"

Eun Pyo nodded and began to repeat Na Young's pronunciation.Out of the corner of Naying's eye, she caught a glimpse of Hyunja leaving the study, and gently closed the door behind her.

After Eun Pyo finished her homework and went to bed, Na Young saw Hyun Ja coming out of the door and called out, "Hyun Ja, are you staying at home all day?"

Hyunja nodded.

"Have you ever been to a nearby supermarket? There are also many Koreans living here."

Hyun Ja just raised his eyes to look at her and said nothing more.

In fact, she knew that Xianzi was afraid of strangers, since they went to the restaurant together at noon, she could see the stiffness of their limbs.Then Xianzi must have spent a lot of courage when he came to find her, because timidity and bravery actually exist in the same soul.

"It's been a tiring day today, so you should take a good rest."

After a few days, Na-young quietly places a document in front of Hyun-ja. "I signed you up for the language center's weekday courses. After lunch, I happened to drop by and pick you up."

Although he was used to the strength in his opponent's bones, Xianzi was still taken aback by the sudden news.

"Language barrier in a foreign place is a big trouble. In addition, I also hope that you can have your own life and don't have to stay at home every day." Looking at the shocked expression on the other side, Naying said calmly.

The short chopsticks, which were originally pushing the plate, suddenly hooked the plate back to the other end of the dining table.

Naying thought, this is a good sign, at least Hyunja has reacted.

"I feel good at home." The chopsticks stretched out again, and another small dish naturally disappeared within Naying's arms.

"If you want to move out with Eun Biao in the future, don't you also need to learn English?" Seeing Hyun Jae's expression changed instantly, Na Ying hurriedly explained: "Please don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to drive you away, I just hope that you can also be independent and handle these things."

"No, I seem to have disturbed you for too long."

"Xianzi," Naying also emphasized her tone. "I said it's okay, we are a family. Because it is a family, I want to think more about you. I don't want to see you locked in the house all day. I don't want to see you afraid to go out because you are afraid of being born. I don't want to see you. You live frowning every day. I want you to be happy, you know?"

Naying extended her chopsticks to stop the dish that Hyunja was about to drag back. "Xianzi, please trust me. I have already agreed with the language center. The people there are very kind. I will accompany you later and pick you up after class. I don't want you to have any A tinge of unease or displeasure."

"Why?" Hyunja's voice was low. "Do you want to do so much for me?"

"We're a family, aren't we?" Naying said with a smile, "Besides, in the Han family, only you and I don't have the surname Han. I forgot about Enbiao. His surname should be Min. The father he knows has always been called Min." Yongtai."

Xianzi also laughed when he heard it, which eased the atmosphere a little.

Naying regained her serious look and looked at Hyunja. "Please trust me, okay?"

After a long time, I saw Xianzi nodded slightly.

When Naying is driving, she still likes to keep a cup of hot coffee in the car.It's not for drinking coffee, but to remind myself that there is still warmth around me. When Zai Minzhu or Shang Zhen go out, there is no hot coffee on that journey.

"Drinking too much coffee is bad for your health." Xianzi reminded her softly as soon as she got into the car.

"When the car is waiting for a red light, I put my hand on the hot coffee, as if I feel the warmth of someone beside me." Na Ying was rarely excited. "Hyunja, will you go to the supermarket with me from now on?"

Seeing the other party's uncontrollable smile, Xianzi nodded subconsciously, and then gently turned her head away.

If Xianzi agrees, maybe he won't have to buy so much hot coffee in the future.
