Granny greeted Mo Ran while arranging the food on the table.
A small dining table was set up on the bed, with chicken soup and dishes all neatly placed on it.
"Here, let me feed you," said Gu Yixuan as he carefully scooped up a spoonful of rice and brought it to her lips.
"No need, I can eat by myself." Mo Ran reached out, but he avoided her hand.
"The doctor said you’re fairly weak and need good care for a while to avoid any mishaps. From now on, you don’t need to do anything, just focus on recuperating," he insisted.
"Yes, Miss Mo, just concentrate on getting better," Granny said with a smile.
Mo Ran felt that no matter how weak she was, she couldn’t possibly be so frail as to not even have the strength to hold a spoon.
"But I can still eat by myself."
"No," Gu Yixuan flatly rejected her statement, "from now on, let me feed you when you eat." Newest update provided by novel·fiɾe·net
"Won’t I become an invalid then?" She couldn’t even eat by herself.
Gu Yixuan laughed lightly and said, "How could you be an invalid? I’m just worried about you, concerned that your health might suffer. Ranran, it was all my fault before, I knew you were not well and still, I didn’t take good care of you. But that’s going to change. I’ll take good care of you and our child, not letting any harm come to you."
He started blaming himself again.
Alright, given his persistence, she decided to let it be. His conscience was burdened with guilt, and not letting him do this would probably make him suffer.
With a smile, Mo Ran reluctantly opened her mouth and ate the rice he offered.
Being fed by the person you love is a delicate feeling, a bit of happiness mixed with a sense of being cherished.
Worried Gu Yixuan might get impatient, Mo Ran sneakily glanced at him.
She discovered his expression was concentrated, his movements gentle and cautious, as if dealing with the most serious matter in the world, showing no sign of reluctance.
Feeling at ease, she found it easier to let him take care of her without any qualms.
After dinner, Gu Yixuan held her and chatted for a bit before insisting she lie down to rest. He refused to go to work until she had fallen asleep.
Mo Ran had no choice but to pretend to close her eyes.
In reality, she was only showing very slight symptoms of a threatened miscarriage today, nothing too serious; there was no need for Gu Yixuan to be so anxious.
But his anxiety also showed how much he cared.
He really did care a great deal about her and the baby...
Quietly opening a small slit in her eyes, Mo Ran watched him working with focus and felt immensely happy.
