Chapter 37: Filing for Marriage After Discharge

“Brother Yunhan, my mom made you bone soup again today. She also made meatball soup. She knows you’re injured and need to be careful about what you eat, so she only used salt and no other seasonings. Don’t worry, you can eat it.”

Wu Xiuxiu walked towards Jiang Yunhan with a bright smile, showing him the lunchbox and thermos she was carrying.

“Your mom always makes me delicious food. She’s really good to me, her son-in-law. I’ll definitely go to your house and thank her properly after I’m discharged!” Jiang Yunhan laughed.

Hearing him call himself her son-in-law and her mother his mother-in-law, Wu Xiuxiu felt a little shy. Her cheeks flushed pink. Seeing her like that, Jiang Yunhan found her adorable and wanted to kiss her cheek.

Jiang Yunhan glanced at Cheng Xuping, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes.

This kid had no sense at all. Didn’t he see his little wife had arrived? Why wasn’t he leaving? Staying here like a light bulb, so inconsiderate and annoying.

Cheng Xuping wasn’t stupid. He noticed Jiang Yunhan’s gaze and knew he should leave discreetly.

“Captain Jiang, Xiuxiu, I’ll go outside. Call me if you need anything.” Cheng Xuping said and quickly left the ward.

The moment the door closed, Jiang Yunhan looked at Wu Xiuxiu’s still rosy cheeks, which were so cute and tempting. He leaned forward and pressed his lips against her cheek.

Wu Xiuxiu was stunned. Her eyes widened. He actually kissed her!

Even though it was just her cheek… it was the first time he had ever kissed her!

Wu Xiuxiu’s face flushed even redder. She blushed and scolded him, “You… how could you do that?”

“You’re my fiancée, and I’m your fiancé. After I’m discharged, I’ll file for marriage and apply to the army to marry you. Then you’ll be my wife. What’s wrong with kissing your cheek?”

Jiang Yunhan laughed nonchalantly. He even touched the spot he had just kissed, thinking, this little girl’s face is so tender, like bean curd.

Wu Xiuxiu had never been treated like this by a man before. Whether in her previous life or this one, Jiang Yunhan was her first boyfriend and the first person to kiss her. This made her even more shy.

She tried hard to suppress her shyness and changed the subject, saying, “Hurry up and eat. It’ll get cold if you don’t.”

She opened the thermos first and picked up the cup on the bedside table. It was Jiang Yunhan’s water cup, and it was empty now.

She poured half a cup of bone soup, “Drink some soup first. Then eat after you’ve had some soup.”

Jiang Yunhan nodded, but when Wu Xiuxiu handed him the cup, he didn’t reach for it. He looked at her with a puzzled expression and said, “I want you to feed me!”

Wu Xiuxiu was embarrassed again. “Your hands can move, can’t you lift the cup yourself? Why do you need me to feed you?”

“Because I like you, so I want you to feed me!” The man grinned at her again, looking completely justified.

Before Wu Xiuxiu could say anything, he reached out and grabbed her hand, gently shaking it. “Xiuxiu, please, feed me! I beg you, good Xiuxiu, good wife!”

Wu Xiuxiu was a little surprised and a little taken aback. She never dreamed that the man would be so clingy. She couldn’t handle it.

“Don’t call me wife, we’re not married yet… What’s with the ‘good wife’ stuff, you’re so shameless!”

Wu Xiuxiu scolded him, but she opened the lunchbox, took a spoon, and scooped some soup to Jiang Yunhan’s lips, fulfilling his wish.

Jiang Yunhan curled his lips, smiling happily. After taking a spoonful of soup, he said, “Thank you, wife, you are truly my good wife!”

“I told you not to call me wife, we haven’t gotten married yet!” Wu Xiuxiu called out shyly.

“So, does that mean I can call you wife once we get married?” Jiang Yunhan asked with a smile.

Wu Xiuxiu was too embarrassed to answer, remaining silent. She only scooped up another spoonful of braised pork bone soup and fed it to him.

“If you don’t speak, I’ll take it as a yes.” Jiang Yunhan said while drinking the soup. “This soup is so delicious, your mom’s cooking is amazing. You should have some too.”

Wu Xiuxiu didn’t refuse. Earlier, she had seen her mom braising the pork bone soup, and the aroma had made her mouth water. She had been wanting to try it.

Seeing Wu Xiuxiu use the same spoon she had used to feed him, scoop up a spoonful of soup, and bring it to her mouth without any hesitation, Jiang Yunhan was overjoyed. He beamed with happiness.

After taking a sip of the soup, Wu Xiuxiu thought, “Mom’s braised pork bone soup is really delicious. It tastes even better than yesterday’s.”

Yesterday, Ding Hongjuan had braised pork bone soup, and Wu Xiuxiu had also had some, but she had eaten it at home.

Although Wu Xiuxiu felt that today’s soup was better than yesterday’s, she didn’t feed herself anymore. Instead, she fed it all to Jiang Yunhan. After all, the soup was specifically brought for Jiang Yunhan, and he was still a patient who needed to replenish his strength.

After feeding Jiang Yunhan the soup, Wu Xiuxiu urged him to eat his meal. However, he insisted she feed him again, acting cute and spoiled. Wu Xiuxiu couldn’t resist his cuteness and agreed to his request.

“Xiuxiu, you didn’t eat lunch today either, right? Let’s eat together. You feed me a bite, then feed yourself a bite…

Let’s just use one pair of chopsticks, don’t use two pairs like before. After all, we already shared a spoon.” Jiang Yunhan suggested.

Previously, when his significant other had eaten with him, they had each used their own pair of chopsticks. But today, he not only wanted his significant other to feed him, he also wanted to share a pair of chopsticks with her, to make them even closer.

Wu Xiuxiu fell silent again, her face slightly flushed. After using the chopsticks to pick up a meatball and feed it to him, she immediately picked up another meatball and fed it to herself.

Seeing this, Jiang Yunhan felt as sweet as if he had eaten candy. His little wife was truly the best, agreeing to anything he asked!

“Xiuxiu, your mom’s meatballs are so delicious. Feed me another one.” Jiang Yunhan happily ate the meatball and wanted another.

Wu Xiuxiu immediately fed him another meatball, followed by a bite of rice.

“Xiuxiu, I want to eat the tomato and potato stir-fry. Feed me.” The man pointed at the tomato and potato stir-fry in the lunchbox.

His mother-in-law had prepared several dishes, including meatballs, tomato and potato stir-fry, scallion tofu, and dry-fried green beans.

Wu Xiuxiu immediately picked up some tomato and potato stir-fry and fed it to him. He praised how delicious it was and urged Wu Xiuxiu to try some tomato and potato stir-fry too. This time, Wu Xiuxiu didn’t refuse. She ate some of the tomato and potato stir-fry, not minding at all that they were using the same pair of chopsticks.

As he said, they had already shared a spoon, so sharing a pair of chopsticks wasn’t a big deal. After all, they were getting married soon and would become husband and wife. They should get closer and deepen their feelings.

However, sharing a pair of chopsticks and eating bite after bite together still made her feel a little shy. At the same time… a little sweet.

Thinking about this, Wu Xiuxiu blushed again. She couldn’t let anyone know what she was thinking. It was embarrassing!
