Chapter 161: He actually ate the rice grains at the corner of his mouth!

Gu Chen is so busy, and he is afraid that he is not eating well, so he specially came to bring him lunch.

In the past, this would have been something he would never have dared to dream of.

He really is being too good to himself now.

Gu Chen lowered his head and took out another plastic lunch box from the plastic bag, which contained turbot fish.

He opened the box and placed it on the bedside table next to the bed.

He looked at her smiling face, his eyes full of unfathomable tenderness. Just one look could make a person's soul drown.

'Today I went to the market and happened to meet a seafood vendor. I bought you some crabs and fish. I don't know if you like it or not, but I just felt like buying it. If you don't like it, I'll make you some carp stew tomorrow.'

Gu Chen's voice was not low, but it was very pleasant to hear.

Ji Pianran looked at him, and her heart softened.

After saying that, Gu Chen sat down on the stool next to the bed.

He picked up the chopsticks, lowered his head, and carefully helped Ji Pianran peel off the spring onions and ginger left over from steaming the fish.

He picked out a piece of tender fish and placed it in Ji Pianran's porridge.

'Try it.'

Ji Pianran blinked, and her long eyelashes trembled twice.

The light in her eyes was fine and pretty.

The man in front of her was full of himself and full of eyes.

Although there was also a trace of guilt, after all, it was because of her that he was so tired.

But she had to admit that this feeling was really too good.

So good that it felt a little unreal.

They say that only after suffering can there be happiness, but she never believed that.

She always felt that it was a kind of inspirational words that encouraged people to move on.

In fact, it is useless, just a kind of chicken soup for the soul.

It is just a way to deceive oneself that there is still hope.

But today, she actually really felt that after suffering comes happiness.

This feeling is unprecedented.

Ji Pianran was a little dazed, could it really be that after suffering comes happiness?

Gu Chen was bowing his head as he helped Ji Pianran peel the crab.

Watching his considerate actions,

Ji Pianran couldn't help but smile gently.

Three years of suffering and being misunderstood in exchange for a lifetime of marital harmony and mutual respect, and in exchange for his undivided attention.

She thought naively.

If all of this was destined, then her life had not been a bitter one.

Gu Chen peeled off a crab leg and held it to Ji Bianran's mouth with his own hand.

Ji Bianran didn't expect Gu Chen to eat for her.

She pursed her lips, unable to help feeling a little embarrassed.

A delicate face flushed red, and her already watery eyes took on an indescribable charm from the shyness, looking extremely good.

She moved her mouth corners, and finally opened her rosy little mouth.

The crab steamed with spring water is exceptionally delicious; the flavour is so good that it doesn't need ginger sauce.

Ji Bianran's eyebrows twitched, followed by an appreciative nod. A gleam of joy appeared in her eyes, and she nodded seriously towards Gu Chen, 'Mmm, delicious!'

Watching his daughter-in-law's serious and cute appearance, Gu Chen couldn't help but smile knowingly.

Who said that his daughter-in-law was in her twenties, when she was clearly only eighteen!

She was completely like a lively young girl.

He took out a small bowl he had brought from home, ladled some porridge out of the lunch box, and fed it to Ji Bianran with a spoon.

Seeing her eat the porridge into her mouth, he looked at her with a smile, 'Is it delicious?'

This is matsutake, a precious top-grade ingredient.

Compared to it, crab is not even in the same league.

It's like the difference between pickles and meat.

Sure enough, the moment the porridge entered Ji Pianran's mouth, the unparalleled deliciousness instantly exploded in her mouth.

It was soft and chewy, delicious and tasty. (It was even silkier than Dove.)

Especially the special fragrance that made people want more, which extended for a long time and flooded into her stomach with a strong warmth.

Ji Pianran vowed that this was really the most delicious thing she had ever eaten in her life.

Looking at the milky white, steaming matsutake porridge,

She remembered the days when she and Tangtang had depended on each other for survival.

It was just plain old white rice porridge, but she had saved the thickest part for Tangtang. Although she was hungry too, she only ate the top layer, which was the clearest and thinnest porridge.

Thinking about those hard times, she looked down at the delicious porridge in her hands.

In an instant, her emotions surged.

Ji Pianran couldn't help but feel a slight tinge in her eyes.

The water in her bright eyes quickly condensed, and then bulged into a transparent little bag in her eye socket, like a diamond, shining and moving.

That crystal, however, just wouldn't fall, spinning back and forth in her pretty eye socket.

The sight was simply too beautiful for words.

Although he didn't know what Ji Pianran was thinking, just by looking at her, Gu Chen felt a dull pain in his chest, and his heart almost broke.

This is the person at the top of his heart, the person he wants to protect for the rest of his life.

His heart is filled with nothing but pain.

Nothing but pain.

Gu Chen reached out and gathered the stray locks of hair on her forehead and pulled them behind her ear, then tenderly kissed her forehead with love and compassion.

'Pianran, believe me, everything will be fine.'

His kiss was hot and intense.

His voice trembled a little, but it was incredibly sincere.

Ji Pianran was completely stunned as the heat of his forehead spread for a moment.

She looked up at his face, transfixed.

From this angle, she could only see the smooth line of his jaw and the rolling Adam's apple.

She blinked, her thick, curled eyelashes trembling.

Her chest was beating harder and harder.

He kissed me?

What does this mean?

Is he expressing his love for her?

Gu Chen embraced her in his arms, then looked down at her face. She tilted her head back, staring at him with wide eyes, and a crystal-clear teardrop had fallen from the corner of her eye onto her fair face at some unknown time.

It was clearly a beautiful scene, but Gu Chen happened to see the white grain of rice on Ji Pianran's chin.

He frowned, truly amused and helpless.

His daughter-in-law is really cute. This Ji Pianran, who used to seem so cold, is getting stupider and stupider.

Seeing that he was looking at her, Ji Pianran thought he was laughing at her tears and hurriedly reached out to wipe them away.

However, she was quick, but Gu Chen was quicker.

He reached out and plucked the grain of rice from Ji Pianran's mouth, without hesitation, and placed it in his own mouth.

Wasting food means you'll be born as a donkey in your next life!

Ji Pianran couldn't be born as a donkey.

Ji Pianran's eyelids twitched!

There was actually a grain of rice on her mouth!

She pursed her lips, unable to hide her embarrassment.

So he was laughing at the grain of rice on her face?

This was something only Tantan could do, and it was really embarrassing.

Thinking about it, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and was just about to say something to cover up her embarrassment.

Then she saw Gu Chen's smiling face, with an expression of such happiness and satisfaction that he looked like a contented fox.

She nervously clenched her fair hands together and muttered softly.

'Can I eat that?'

That was right next to her mouth!

She had missed it!
