This makes her feel a little ashamed.
She was crying a moment ago, but now she's eating with gusto. This doesn't seem right, does it?
But there's nothing she can do.
The food really is delicious, and that special aroma drifts straight up to her nose. She feels that if she doesn't take a bite, she won't be able to settle her mind.
Ma Xiaolan swallowed, her brows knitted, her expression on her face seemingly full of confusion.
It was clearly just a bowl of porridge, but how could it smell so good?
It was really strange. If it had been something else, she could have understood.
If porridge could smell so good, what kind of good things had been put in it?
Seeing her expression of hesitation, Ji Bianran smiled, then looked apologetically over at Gu Chen.
'I'm still on an IV drip, so why don't you take the bowl for her?'
Hearing that she had to take the bowl,
Ma Xiaolan didn't refuse this time either. She sniffed, reached out and handed Gu Chen her own bowl from the cabinet by the bed.
She looked a little embarrassed.
'Then I'll trouble you. I don't eat much, just a few mouthfuls.'
Screw him, that son of a bitch must have gone out to eat. Why should he go hungry when he can eat?
She comforted herself mentally, trying to tell herself that it was fine, that it wasn't that she was greedy, but that she didn't want to give the bastard a bargain.
Gu Chen took the bowl and served her a bowl from the lunch box she had brought, before politely handing it to Ma Xiaolan.
Luckily, she had made a lot, otherwise he would really have had to hesitate.
'My wife is right, people are made of iron, and rice is steel, and you only have the strength to think about other things when you're full,' he said politely.
Afterwards, he generously handed Ma Xiaolan a crab.
It wasn't that Gu Chen was enthusiastic, it was really because his wife had spoken.
He did this entirely to make his wife look good.
After all, no one could say that his family was stingy, and that they had only given themselves a bowl of porridge for dinner.
Ma Xiaolan looked at the crab that Gu Chen handed her and, surprised, accepted it.
To be honest, she really didn't expect it. She didn't expect Gu Chen to be so generous with her, and he even gave her crabs.
Thinking about how she just asked her husband to help Ji Pianran make a meal, she couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.
She didn't get her meal, but she got to eat the meal that the husband of someone else brought her.
She was not the kind of person to be cheeky, and at this moment, she was even more angry.
At the same time, she couldn't help but unconsciously envy Ji Pianran.
What kind of life is that? Not to mention how good-looking she is, her husband is also so good to her. Did he save the galaxy in a previous life?
She smiled at Ji Pianran.
'You're lucky, unlike me. They say that a woman's first life is given to her by her parents, and her second life is her marriage. You've met such a considerate husband, so you should treasure him.'
These words came from the bottom of her heart. Ma Xiaolan really meant them.
If her husband were half as good as Gu Chen, she would give him her life.
Unfortunately, she really shouldn't think about it, because the more she thinks about it, the more depressed she gets!
As the saying goes, people can be so envious that it makes you feel like dying.
Gu Chen couldn't agree more with this, and he laughed.
'I think marriage is about cherishing and supporting each other. It has nothing to do with fate. If it has to do with being related to a celebrity, it's not my wife's good fortune, it's my wife's good fortune to have met me. It's only because she's so good that we've met.'
Ji Pianran had silently sacrificed for the family for three years, working hard without complaint, and had been teased for three years.
Even until the very last moment, she did not want to burden herself or Tangtang.
She was like a weed, flexible and strong.
If she can be such a daughter-in-law, what reason is there for me to treat her badly?
After listening to Gu Chen's words, the old lady in the bed opposite Ma Xiaolan's brightened her cloudy eyes and couldn't help but give a thumbs-up.
'She has a sense of awareness, not bad!'
As for marriage, I have really argued for half my life, quarrelled for half my life, and fought for half my life.
It wasn't until now that the earth has buried me up to my neck that I have realised the truth, and I didn't expect Gu Chen to understand it at such a young age.
This kid can do it.
'You're absolutely right. Marriage is half about love and half about management. You can't always expect the other person to do things for you and keep giving, while you just take. In the long run, no matter who it is, it will get tiring. After all, it's a lifetime commitment.'
'Only by cherishing, caring for and supporting each other can you go further and last a lifetime!'
These were the honest words of the older woman, who was simply trying to persuade Ma Xiaolan.
Don't be so emotional and say divorce so easily.
In fact, the word divorce is very hurtful. Saying divorce is like denying everything about the other person, along with their past, which is beautiful. It's too cold-blooded and heartless.
Ma Xiaolan also knows that Auntie is right, but she is just angry.
The truth is true, but the grievance is also true.
She didn't know what to say, so she just lowered her head and silently took a mouthful of porridge in her bowl.
Who knew that this bite would instantly change her expression.
'It's delicious, so delicious!'
This porridge, it smells good and tastes even better.
The rice is delicate and soft, and there is a lingering freshness.
This is a taste she has never experienced before.
To be honest, the family's situation can be considered quite good. Her husband is not a millionaire, but their family is at least considered to be slightly well-off.
She has eaten all kinds of delicacies, lobsters and abalones, during the New Year and other holidays.
But compared to this bowl of plain congee, all those things that I once thought were the most delicious tasted much less appetising.
When she heard Ma Xiaolan praise Gu Chen's cooking, a faint, fleeting trace of pride appeared on Ji Pianran's usually gentle face.
Her Gu Chen is really amazing. Gu Chen's cooking is just delicious!
No arguments here!
'He's always been a good cook,' Ji Pianran said with a smile.
Gu Chen was also happy to hear his daughter-in-law praise him, 'As long as you're willing to eat, I'll cook for you forever!'
These were his true words.
Seeing the two of them start to show off their affection again, the old lady couldn't help but smile.
'Okay, I get it, you're the best in the world, if you keep going, the girl next to you is going to break up too!'
Ma Xiaolan was already jealous enough to want a divorce, so she really couldn't say anything more!
The girl in the bed next to her heard her talking about herself and instantly blushed.
She looked at the old woman excitedly.
'Oh, auntie, don't say that, I don't even have a boyfriend, so what's there to break up?'
Afterwards, she glanced at the couple Ji Pianran.
If her future boyfriend could be as good as this older brother to his older sister, that would be great.
Then she would be so happy, she could probably smile in her sleep.
I just don't know if I'll be as lucky as my big sister.
It was already dark, and the five of them were chatting happily in the hospital room.
At 8 o'clock the next morning, Ji Pianran was wheeled into the operating room on time.
Gu Chen sat on the cold bench outside, feeling more nervous than ever.
