Chapter 82: The Familiar Doctor
Han Jiaojiao also felt quite embarrassed and muttered, "I don’t know either, but these past few days, I’ve been feeling restless and uncomfortable." In fact, she also felt that she’d been acting strange recently, wondering if it could be her period coming soon.
Han Yi took her hands and led her to the sink to wash them, saying, "If you’re not in the mood to cook, how about I hire a cook to help us?"
Normally, cooking was Xiao Jian’s responsibility, but Han Jiaojiao often insisted on doing it herself. Han Yi didn’t like to see her struggle, yet whenever he saw how happy she was cooking, the words would reach his lips and then, involuntarily, he would swallow them back down. He probably understood her feelings, her desire to do more and prove herself, but actually... For him, just having her safe and by his side was enough.
In the past, she was the Han Family’s young lady, and that would not change in the future. He didn’t want her life to be bogged down by these endless trivial matters, especially not at her young age. She was still so young, and she should live more freely...
Xiao Jian and Bai Kairui had gone to the labor service center in the morning and should be back by now... Han Yi quickly pondered the plans for what was to come, speaking slowly, "You don’t need to worry about strangers affecting us, we can just have her come over at cooking time."
Han Jiaojiao let him wash her hands, speaking in a soft, sticky tone, "But I want to cook for you."
Upon hearing this, Han Yi felt as if his chest was filled with some kind of emotion, warm and comforting. He whispered close to her ear, "Brother doesn’t want to see you cooking for other men, what should I do?"
Han Jiaojiao pursed her lips, giggling, and stopped twisting around and fell silent.
Yan Xiao paced restlessly in the main hall, constantly listening for sounds from the kitchen. When he heard Han Jiaojiao’s clear laughter, he felt somewhat relieved. He thought to himself that the young girl seemed obedient, but once angered, among all the people in the house, only Brother Han could soothe her. She truly was more familiar with her own family.
"Where are Xiao Jian and Kairui?" Lu Changyuan grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds from the table and started cracking them while asking. It was almost noon, and by this time, Xiao Jian would typically have started preparing the meal, with Kairui assisting him in the kitchen, washing vegetables and such. Yan Xiao would also lend a hand.
