She couldn't shake the feeling that he was smiling too smugly, as if he'd gained some great advantage over her.
But she didn't give it much thought.
"I was injured because of you, so of course you should take care of me!" she stated matter-of-factly.
Rong Shaoze chuckled inwardly, taking care of his wife was something he was only too happy to do, and it provided the perfect opportunity to 'eat her tofu'.
For instance, helping her dress, bathe...
Just the thought was exhilarating.
The next day, when Xiaocong found out his mother's ankle was sprained, he lay in her arms, looking up with concern, "Mommy, does it hurt a lot?"
It did hurt a lot; she couldn't even move it.
But as a mother, she couldn't show weakness in front of her child, nor could she let Xiaocong outdo her.
If he didn't cry after surgery, there was no way she could admit to being in pain.
"Mommy isn't hurting, it will be better in a couple of days, don't worry," she assured him.
