Chapter 118: When Did You Start Liking Me?
"Brother Han, what's wrong?"
Han Yangting said, "Don't rush to pack yet, come over and let me hold you."
Bai Shuruo knew he was in a bad mood because of her grandfather's situation, so she obediently walked over to him and sat down.
Han Yangting stroked her hair and said again, "Ruoruo, thank you for coming back with me."
Bai Shuruo thought to herself, aren't we family? Why do family members always keep thanking each other?
"Brother Han, you're being too formal."
Han Yangting said again, "Apart from my mother, Grandfather is the person closest to me. He watched me grow up from a young age and taught me many things, which is why I am who I am today."
"Brother Han, do you mean that you will be living in Beishi for the long term, right? That's fine, Grandfather's condition is what matters, you should stay."
"But, I also can't bear to be away from you. You and Grandfather are both the most important people in my life." Han Yangting buried his head in her neck, looking quite pitiful.
Bai Shuruo felt his closeness and his heartbeat. At that moment, her mind went blank because he said she was important.
"Brother Han, am I... important?"
"Can't you feel it?" Han Yangting looked at her and asked earnestly, "Ever since we got married, haven't I been attentive enough to you?"
Bai Shuruo thought about it carefully; he was indeed very good to her, but she always had doubts.
"Brother Han, I've always had a question: are you good to me because I am your wife, or because of... me as a person?"
She finally asked it, then bit her lip and looked at him.
Han Yangting also stared into her eyes and asked solemnly, "Do you think I'm good to you because I married you, and that no matter who I married, I would be good to her?"
Bai Shuruo nodded.
Han Yangting said helplessly, "Why do you have such thoughts? Can't you just feel it with your heart?"
She considered it carefully, then shook her head: "I can't feel it."
His kindness wasn't gradual; he started being good to her as soon as they got their marriage certificate, not in stages, so she felt it would be the same no matter who he married.
Han Yangting must have been angered; he couldn't help but kiss her fiercely, then looked at her and said, "Bai Shuruo, I like you, why can't you see it?"
Bai Shuruo was at a loss. She first shook her head, then asked, "Th-then tell me, when did you start liking me?"
Han Yangting said without hesitation, "Love at first sight."
"Th-that would be when you and Grandfather first came to propose," Bai Shuruo said.
Han Yangting moved his mouth, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
"Brother Han, then what did you like about me back then?" Bai Shuruo asked again.
Han Yangting's expression remained helpless, and he said, "Maybe it was because you were pretty."
"Where am I pretty?"
He thought about it carefully, "Then it's that you have a big chest."
"Brother Han, you're annoying."
"Is it that your skin is fair?"
"It's not fair either."
"Your legs are long."
"I'm only 164, how are my legs long?" Bai Shuruo argued.
"I think they're long, so they're long."
She wanted to say something more, but was cut off by Han Yangting kissing her fiercely.
It was unknown how much time had passed before he finally let her go and said, "Ruoruo, stay by my side and keep me company, okay?"
Perhaps it was because she was intoxicated by the moment, or perhaps she was so kissed she couldn't find her bearings, but she actually nodded.
"No matter where I go, you'll follow, can you?"
Bai Shuruo's reason finally returned a little, and she was thinking.
Her only ties in Fengcheng were Bai Shunan, and Lin Wanfen and Bai Shuhua could barely count, but none of these people needed her indispensably. Meanwhile, the Han Yangting in front of her was her husband, and after being together for so long, she had grown accustomed to his kindness.
She nodded.
He pulled her little finger: "Then let's pinky swear, cross my heart, it won't change for a hundred years, whoever breaks it is a puppy?"
"Brother Han, you're so childish."
Han Yangting held her on his lap and said, "You've already promised me just now, you're not allowed to go back on it."
Only then did she say, "But, my sister's company..."
"I think, you're just doing design work, it's the same wherever you work. Design good things, send the drawings to them, and you can have remote meetings with them. Ruoruo, I've treated you as the most important person, you can't even agree to this for me?" He looked pitiful again.
Bai Shuruo softened and said, "Then I have to tell my sister."
"Tell her, she will agree."
Bai Shuruo hugged Han Yangting's neck, still unable to believe it: "Brother Han, do you really like me?"
"You're doing it again. If I didn't love you, why would I want to stick to you every day? If I only treated you as a contractual wife, I would have left after getting the certificate; why would I stay in Fengcheng with you all this time?"
Bai Shuruo felt very excited inside.
However, she was a bit insecure: "Brother Han, then your taste isn't very good. From childhood to now, not many people have pursued me; I'm not the kind of girl boys would like."
He couldn't help but pinch her little face: "Silly girl, what you're like has nothing to do with other people. As long as I like you, that's enough."
Then he leaned in close, pressing his forehead against hers and nudging her repeatedly.
"Brother Han, it tickles... don't... hee hee..."
"You little scatterbrain, always doubting my feelings for you. Watch how I deal with you."
"Ah, don't... hahaha!"
The room was very lively.
Whether it was because Han Yangting had returned or because the Han Family Medical Team was skilled, Han Weimin's body was recovering quite quickly.
By the third day, he was already able to sit up and eat on his own.
During this period, people from the Second Branch also took turns coming to visit.
Han Chunqiu paid a hypocritical visit and said a great deal of concerned words, but seeing that Han Weimin was recovering well, he was clearly somewhat disappointed.
Han Jiani and Han Jiaren also wanted to come up to visit, but they were blocked by Ye Caiyue, who said that Han Weimin needed rest and it would be better not to see him.
When Han Weimin's body had recovered for the most part, Han Yangting had to start getting busy again.
Early this morning, Bai Shuruo opened her eyes and saw Han Yangting standing in front of the mirror, wearing a light gray suit.
He had broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and being tall and large, he wore the suit in a way that made it look incomparably noble.
He was a natural clothes hanger; everything he wore looked good.
Han Yangting saw through the mirror that Bai Shuruo had woken up, and he couldn't help but call to her, "Ruoruo, come here."
"Brother Han, why are you up so early?" Bai Shuruo let out a yawn before walking toward Han Yangting.
Han Yangting was originally a very self-disciplined person, but recently he had been sharing a room with Bai Shuruo every day, and since Bai Shuruo loved to sleep in, it caused Han Yangting to start getting up late as well.
"Help me tie my tie." He took her hands and placed them against his chest.
"But I don't know how," Bai Shuruo said.
"It's very simple, I'll teach you," Han Yangting said.
Bai Shuruo couldn't help but wonder aloud, "You clearly know how to tie it yourself, yet you still want me to do it."
He looked down at her and smiled, "This is a romantic gesture."
"But I can't learn it, it's too hard." Bai Shuruo wanted to leave, but was pulled back by Han Yangting.
"Ruoruo, you please me, or you help me tie my tie; choose one."
Bai Shuruo: "..."
