Chapter 160: I want a husband who can be so caring too

But then he caught a faint scent.

He sniffed carefully and then touched his stomach.

'What's that smell? It's so fragrant!'

Ji Pianran had already woken up by now. In fact, she wasn't sleepy in the afternoon, but she said that to reassure Gu Chen so that he could go about his own business.

Seeing that the clock on the wall pointed to six o'clock, Ma Xiaolan in the bed next to her became a little hungry.

She half-lay on the bed, squinted at her husband who was still giggling at his phone, and complained.

'It's already six o'clock, you've been staring at your phone motionless for a few hours, don't your eyes hurt?'

Hearing this, Ma Xiaolan's husband looked up, and when he saw her sad face, his smile immediately faded.

He glanced at Ma Xiaolan and his tone became a little impatient.

'You're always so nosy! You don't want to keep me company because you don't like me, but you do like to find fault with me for looking at my phone!'

He looked at the wall clock and said, 'It's time for dinner, why don't we go to the canteen together?'

Hearing this, Ma Xiaolan's eyes widened and she instantly flew into a rage.

Could this really be coming from a human being?

She had just been wheeled out of the operating theatre in the morning, and he actually wanted her to go to the canteen with him?

What a good man!

He doesn't care about himself at all!

She took a deep breath and held back her anger.

'I'm not going, you go by yourself. Remember to bring me back a share when you've eaten.'

After all, she was a full-time mother who didn't earn a penny, and her husband usually paid all the household expenses. Even if she was dissatisfied, she had to tolerate him for the sake of the money.

Afterwards, she glanced at Ji Pianran, who was sitting quietly next to her, and said, 'What do you want to eat? Let my husband bring you a meal too.'

After all, they were fellow patients, sharing the same plight!

Ma Xiaolan was being kind, afraid that Ji Pianran would go hungry.

Ji Pianran was sitting on the bed, leaning on the pillow, and when she saw Ma Xiaolan talking to her, she politely gave a smile.

'It's okay, I'm not hungry, I won't eat tonight.'

To be honest, she was still a little hungry.

But Ji Pianran didn't like to trouble others.

She felt that it was fine to go and eat later if she got hungry.

On hearing this, Ma Xiaolan pursed her lips and looked at Ji Pianran with the air of a person who had been there and done that.

'My dear, let me tell you, the cafeteria in our hospital is really very popular, and the good food will be gone if you wait too long. If you want to eat, you'd better go early.'

Ji Pianran had only been admitted in the afternoon and knew nothing about the hospital cafeteria.

But after hearing Ma Xiaolan's words, she blinked and hesitated a little.

What if there is no food left later.

She still needs to have an operation tomorrow and definitely cannot eat, so if she doesn't eat tonight, she is a little worried that her body will not be able to hold on.

After thinking about it, Ji Pianran gave Ma Xiaolan a charming smile and then spoke lightly.

'Thank you, after this bottle of medicine is finished, I will go down and eat by myself.'

Her voice was gentle, but it conveyed a sense of hidden endurance and determination.

It was an indescribable, yet very comforting strength.

Hearing her voice, Ma Xiaolan's husband couldn't help but glance at Ji Pianran again.

This is a good woman!

She is beautiful and understanding, and she doesn't trouble others with anything.

And then look at your daughter-in-law, it's as if she's written the words 'my mother has many problems' on her face.

They say that ugly people are strange, and this is absolutely true.

Not only is this woman pretty and has a great figure, she is also very understanding. She knows that her husband doesn't make a lot of money, so she let him go home early.

But look at his wife, she is the most aggrieved person in the world. She complains about everything, and he has a lot on his plate already, but she makes him take leave to keep her company.

And even when he does, she is not satisfied, and she complains that he is playing with his phone.

He is just sitting there with her, what else is there to do? Why shouldn't he look at his phone?

Everyone else can go downstairs and eat by themselves, but she, Ma Xiaolan, is so fussy, insisting on getting her own food. The food that's brought up the stairs is definitely not as good as if it was freshly made!

Thinking this, he couldn't help but give Ma Xiaolan a cold stare.

Unexpectedly, their gazes met just as Ma Xiaolan's slightly raised her phoenix eyes.

This time, Ma Xiaolan was not happy.

'What? I just asked you to get your own food, and you're making such a scene.

She had been holding back for a long time, but this person not only didn't know how to care for her, but also dared to glare at her. There was simply no love left!

'No, Ma Xiaolan, are you sick? These past few days, I have done everything you asked me to do, but I haven't received a kind word in return. I do everything wrong. Why are you so difficult to please!' Her husband also didn't let her have any peace.

Ma Xiaolan looked at his indignant face and almost laughed in anger.

She widened her eyes and pointed at herself.

'I'm difficult to please? Where am I difficult to please? Just think about how I treated you when you were in the hospital!'

When he was in the hospital, she really took care of him day and night.

She peeled the skin off an apple for him immediately and even fed him his meals bite by bite.

But when it comes to her, all he does is look at his phone, and if she asks him to do something, he just grumbles and nags like an old woman in the street.

Ma Xiaolan's husband looked helpless when he heard this.

'I admit that you are good to me, but am I not good to you? I leave every day before dawn for the sake of this family, working against the sun and the moon, and enduring people's scorn. Have I ever said anything? You were in the hospital. I did everything I needed to do for you. What more do you want?'

'Didn't I pay off the 5,000 yuan your father owed last time? Ask yourself, what have I ever done wrong to you?'

Ma Xiaolan crossed her arms, 'Fine, Tao, you've finally told the truth, haven't you? In the end, you just don't like the fact that I don't earn much money. Don't forget, it was me who begged you to let me stay at home with the kids. If it wasn't for the kids, I, Ma Xiaolan, would never have become a housewife!'

'And I would never let you talk behind my back for a few thousand yuan!'

The two were arguing back and forth, each one sticking to their own point of view.

Then they saw Gu Chen come in from the outside, covered in dust, and because she was afraid the food would get cold, she wrapped it in her arms and held it close to her body.

The silver rim of the small stainless steel box peeped out from her arms, shining.

Ji Pianran saw Gu Chen and froze for a moment, quickly lifting the quilt and putting one foot in her slippers as if she were going to get up.

She said with concern, 'Didn't I say you didn't need to come today?'

She really didn't want Gu Chen to keep running back and forth, it was too much effort.

Gu Chen smiled and took the lunch box out of her arms, 'Lie still, you still have an IV drip.'

After saying that, she put it on the table, and then she said, 'I was worried that you wouldn't eat well. Can the food at the hospital be as good as the food at home?'

Gu Chen opened the lunch box in her hands and put the spoon she brought from home in the creamy pine mushroom porridge.

Then he handed it to Ji Pianran, speaking casually but tenderly.

'This is specially made for you. It's good for the body and fights cancer. Try it, the temperature should be just right, not too hot.'

Ji Pianran carefully held the lunchbox, looking at the soft and sweet porridge inside. His beautiful, watery eyes were full of unspeakable emotion.

He really was too good to him.

So good that Ji Pianran had almost forgotten all the misfortunes of his first half of life.
