Chapter 782 They Genuinely Care About You

Seemingly thinking of something, Aunt Liu smiled at the mention of An Xia.

Bai Jingshu simply nodded, "Sure."

At that, Aunt Liu sighed and glanced into the room, asking, "Is she doing okay?"

"She suffered some superficial injuries, but now, she's out cold from exhaustion and hunger."

"That child, I told her to eat something earlier, but she insisted that she wasn't hungry." Aunt Liu couldn't help but frown.

Bai Jingshu had asked Aunt Liu to make some food for An Xia when they had just arrived home, but the young woman didn't touch any of it and insisted that she wasn't hungry.

Now, it was evident that she was indeed famished; she was just enduring it. However, she didn't have to behave like that.

After telling him to look after An Xia, Aunt Liu left.

While Bai Jingshu carried the tray inside, An Xia, who was on the verge of falling asleep, woke up after smelling the aroma of chicken congee.

Aunt Liu had prepared a simple meal: a bowl of chicken congee, a plate of greens, and soft pastries.

An Xia's sense of smell became especially sensitive as she was famished at this point.

At that, she climbed out from under the blanket only to feel rather chilly. She looked down in response, only to find herself stark naked.

She grabbed the blanket at once and wrapped herself tightly. Her mind had cleared up a little as well at this point, and she glared angrily at Bai Jingshu. "Why didn't you dress me?"

Meanwhile, Bai Jingshu was busy taking the food from the tray and placing it on the table. Upon hearing her complaint, he looked up at her and defended himself, "I hadn't had the time."

An Xia's face turned crimson when she remembered that he had just bathed her, but very quickly, she was distracted by the fact that her hair was dry. At that, she asked, "Why didn't you wash my hair?"

In response, Bai Jingshu glanced at her and said, "How about I help you eat your meal as well?"

"Bai Jingshu!" An Xia threw a pillow at him.


However, he smiled, for he knew his new wife was merely throwing a tantrum out of embarrassment.

He wasn't angry at all. Thinking of her hunger, he decided not to tease her anymore. He found her some pajamas, sat down by the bed, and went to pull her blanket.

"Y-Y-You…" An Xia stuttered, freaking out. He's not going to dress me, is he?!

Seeing that she stuttered and was unable to form a coherent sentence for a long time, Bai Jingshu decisively pulled back the blanket and helped her dress.

When he finally looked down to check on An Xia, he found her face as red as a ripe tomato, making him unable to resist kissing her on the cheek.

Then, he picked her up and said to her as though coaxing a child, "Time to eat!"

Has he gone mad?! An Xia mused.

After sitting down, An Xia awkwardly said, "I can sit by myself…"

The thing was… she had nothing but pajamas on.

She didn't dare to tell Bai Jingshu she wanted to put on underwear. Ultimately, she decided to get it herself later, as for now, food.

Bai Jingshu kept her on his lap and in his arms. She genuinely couldn't accept being in this position.

"Alright." Bai Jingshu didn't make things difficult for her and placed her in the chair before sitting across from her, riveting his gaze on the young woman.

Feeling much more at ease, An Xia began eating heartily.

She looked up inadvertently, and having suddenly thought of something, she asked him, "Have you eaten?"

Bai Jingshu shook his head. "Not yet."

He barely ate anything from the moment she was kidnapped. Even now, he didn't feel hungry. Instead, his heart was filled, content at the fact that his beloved was now eating before his eyes, unharmed.

He used to scoff at those who were content with love alone, but now, he was one of them.

As long as An Xia was by his side, right in front of him, he felt content. Hunger and cold seemed to fade away.

Of course, An Xia was oblivious to his nonsensical thoughts, and she didn't pay him any more attention either, wholly focused on filling her stomach.

After she finished eating, Bai Jingshu started clearing the plates.

"You go to sleep first. I'll take these dishes downstairs," he said and then left with the tray in his hands.

His tall and straight figure disappeared outside the door. After the door "thumped" shut, An Xia finally came back to her senses.

She sneaked into the wardrobe and found some underwear to put on before returning to bed.

Alas, she found it difficult to fall asleep when she closed her eyes.

She thought Bai Jingshu would return soon, but he still had yet to return after she waited for a while.

She thought about going out to find him, but she was afraid of running into other members of the Bai family and making things awkward. So, she could only wait.

…

After taking the dishes to the kitchen, Bai Jingshu paused when he passed Bai Yeqi's room. He raised his hand and hesitated for a moment before making up his mind and knocking on the door.

No one responded from inside, so Bai Jingshu spoke up. "It's me."
