Jiang Yichun found the meal both blissfully joyful and painfully miserable. The joy came from being able to share a meal with his family. The misery, however, was due to the unbearable taste of the food.
Yet, to appease his child's mother, he forced himself to finish the meal. Not only did he down three large bowls of bone soup, but he also drank an entire pot of tea after the meal.
After dinner, Bai Ruozhu stood up, announcing she was taking Dengdeng back to their room to rest. Jiang Yichun also rose, implying his intention to accompany them. Bai Ruozhu shot him a stern look, saying, "Didn't you hear us? We're resting. Don't disturb us!"
Jiang Yichun revealed an embarrassed expression, "I've been traveling and working all night. Don't I also need to rest? Aren't you my wife?"
