Chapter 57 - Leaving the door open for him
Seeing that He Ruiting had returned, Su Jinyi would always go up and help her take the briefcase, then casually take off his jacket.
Every time He Ruiting asked her how come she didn't sleep earlier, Su Jinyi would reply: "I've been infatuated with a TV show recently. Since I have nothing to do at home, I might as well watch more."
He Ruiting would always reprimand her a little, wanting her to rest early. He just pretended not to hear him. Su Jinyi wasn't chasing after the TV show, she was waiting for him to return home.
Isn't it only right for a husband and wife to be together? Su Jinyi thought like this. She knew that the relationship between them was built on a contract, but He Ruiting had done so many things for her, and she had always been adding to his trouble, so he did not hate her for giving up on him. Thus, Su Jinyi also wanted to do something for him.
The only thing she could do now was to learn how to be a proper wife first. Although she didn't know how long their relationship would last, she was now her wife. Leaving the door open for her husband was a normal thing to do. No matter how late He Ruiting returned, Su Jinyi had to wait for him.
On this day, because He Ruiting could not refuse a social gathering, he came back a little late, and his body still reeked of alcohol. When he entered the door, he subconsciously looked towards the living room.
He Ruiting changed his shoes and walked over, and saw that Su Jinyi was lying on the sofa, and had fallen asleep at some point. He laughed softly, took off his jacket and placed it by her side, then squatted beside her. Looking at her sleeping appearance, He Ruiting felt that a piece of softness had already spread throughout his heart.
How could he not know that the reason why this little girl insisted on sitting here every day was to wait for him to return home. Thus, he would try his best to come back earlier every day. In these past two days, he seemed to be accustomed to Su Jinyi waiting for him. The moment he entered the door, he would subconsciously look over, and the moment he saw her sitting here watching TV, he felt very warm. This was a feeling he had never experienced before.
His heart was so full that it felt like it was about to spill out. This action of hers made him feel that there was a trace of concern in this house. Every day, he would think about going home early, what his family was doing, if she was obedient, if she missed him.
He Ruiting gently lifted her up and walked to his main bedroom. He placed her on the bed, covered her with a blanket and took some clothes to take a bath. That night, He Ruiting hugged the person in his embrace as he slept exceptionally well, the smile on his face even when he fell asleep.
In the morning of the next day, when Su Jinyi woke up, while He Ruiting was still sleeping, she was a little surprised as she covered her mouth that was about to scream.
But when she finally got out of his arms and landed on her feet, she realized that her shoes were not beside the bed, so how did she get on last night? Furthermore, she realized that this was He Ruiting's room. She thought back to the night before she fell asleep. She could only remember watching TV in the living room and waiting for him to come back. And then there was no 'then'.
"Where are you going so early?" Just as Su Jinyi was lost in thought, He Ruiting reached out his hands and pulled her into his embrace again.
"If you don't get up, you'll be late for work." Su Jinyi stiffened her body, she did not dare move recklessly.
"Who's going to criticize me for being late?" He Ruiting looked at her in a beautiful mood. The moment he opened his eyes in the morning, he would be able to see her by his side. This kind of feeling would cause He Ruiting's mood for the entire day to become extremely beautiful.
"Me!" Su Jinyi thought for a bit, then pointed at herself with one of her fingers.
"Well, I had to get up and go to work, so as not to let Madame criticize me." He Ruiting smiled as he sat up. However, before he got up, he glanced at Su Jinyi, lightly kissed her forehead, and left a sentence, "Wake up early and see Madam by your side. The entire world has lit up." He went to the bathroom.
Su Jinyi's reaction was a little slow as she touched her forehead, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled up. Actually, the moment she opened her eyes and saw him by her side, she felt very satisfied.
This was the first time Nanny Lin saw the two of them going downstairs together. With a smile on her face, she went up and asked, "Mister, what do you want to eat with Madam this morning?"
"I'd like a glass of juice, a sandwich, an egg, and a sausage." Su Jinyi thought for a while, then said to Nanny Lin.
"What about you, sir?"
"That's good as well." He Ruiting glanced at Su Jinyi, and then said to the Nanny Lin.
"Alright." Nanny Lin replied with a laugh.
"Thank you, Nanny Lin, for your hard work." Su Jinyi didn't forget to thank the Nanny Lin.
"Of course."
and Su Jinyi sat at the dining table. Uncle Xu had already placed the newspaper on the table on time, He Ruiting would read the news everyday, while Su Jinyi sat at the side, quietly watching him read the newspaper.
Very quickly, the Nanny Lin brought the breakfast over. Su Jinyi drank a mouthful of fruit juice and was about to eat, but seeing that He Ruiting was still reading the newspaper, she extended her hand and snatched it away. She said with a serious face: "Reading the newspaper during dinner will affect your appetite."
"Yes, Madam's lecture is correct!" He Ruiting laughed helplessly, and then obediently began to eat his breakfast.
The Nanny Lin watched the interaction between them and laughed very happily. Their progress was very good.
After breakfast, He Ruiting had to go to the company, she was still staying at home, but not long after she left, she received a call.
It was Su Yuancheng.
Su Jinyi stared at the caller ID for a while, then pressed the answer button.
"What a great feeling." Su Yuancheng who was on the other end of the phone, sounded a little old, "Are you busy?"
"What's the matter?" Su Jinyi didn't want to talk too much with her father.
"Um, how have you been getting along with He Ruiting? Are you all right? " Su Yuancheng carefully said with a hint of concern.
"What does that have to do with you?" When Su Jinyi heard He Ruiting's name coming out from his mouth, he felt that wouldn't have anything good to do with him.
