Hidden Marriage: A Heaven-sent Billionaire Husband

1739 My Honor

Wei Yumeng was the only one in the Wei family who treated Lin Xiruo well back then.

Even if He Xuyan had to marry someone from the Wei family, Lin Xiruo would only approve of Wei Yumeng.

However, all of this still depended on He Xuyan’s preferences. He had already chosen Xu Zhiqin, so Lin Xiruo naturally respected his choice.

At the thought of this, she felt that she had let her husband down and owed him a lot.

She got up and walked toward the kitchen. The servants could not help but panic when they saw her. “Madam, why are you here? Is there anything you need?”

“No, I came to take a look.”

“Madam, just let us know if you need anything. We’ll get it ready for you at any time. The smell of smoke here is heavy and dangerous. You should leave first.” The servants all knew that she had been in low spirits in the past.

Afraid that she would fall ill after coming to the kitchen, they tried their best to make her leave as no one could bear the responsibility if something went wrong.

Lin Xiruo just wanted to come in and make soup for her husband. Why were these people ushering her out?

She knew their concerns and said with a smile, “Don’t worry. I’m in good health, and there’s nothing wrong with my mind. Nothing will happen to me. Besides, even if something happens, I’ll explain it to my husband. It’ll have nothing to do with you. Don’t stop me.”

“But what are you going to do, Madam?” a servant asked after realizing they wouldn’t be able to dissuade her.

“I just want to brew some soup. Prepare the ingredients for me and teach me how to cook it.”

“Actually, if you want to cook soup, it’s very simple. Sit aside for a while and we’ll cook it for you. When it’s ready, we’ll scoop it for you.”

After all, they did not dare to let Lin Xiruo do it herself.

Some of the older servants knew that even if Lin Xiruo did not marry into the He family, she was still a precious daughter of the Lin family. She had never cooked before.

If anything really happened to her, no one would be able to escape responsibility.

Lin Xiruo was so angry that she laughed. Did they really think she was a three-year-old child?

However, this also showed that He Jiang had treated her as he had for decades. When she first married into the He family and she wanted to cook egg fried rice for him, she had experienced the same thing.

After He Jiang got up, he went to the gym for a while before returning to his room. Seeing that Lin Xiruo was not around, he slowly walked downstairs.

When he saw a servant, he asked and heard that Lin Xiruo had entered the kitchen.

‘The kitchen?’

He Jiang frowned and walked quickly to the kitchen. Ever since he met Lin Xiruo, she had never been to the kitchen. She wouldn’t step foot in there, and he wouldn’t let her either.

What was going on now? Why did she have to go into the kitchen?

Lin Xiruo finally convinced the servants to take a spoon for her and focused on putting the ingredients into the pot.

The servants stood at the side and served her carefully, afraid that she would make a mistake and hurt herself.

Just as everyone was trembling in fear, they were even more stunned when they saw He Jiang.

What day was it today?

First, Madam came into the kitchen, and then Sir came in too.

What was going on?

He Jiang gestured for everyone to keep quiet. Everyone silently moved aside and lowered their heads to avoid looking at them.

“So you put in the sea cucumber like this?” Lin Xiruo asked with a frown, unable to handle the ingredients in her hand.

Suddenly, there was a familiar aura behind her. A palm reached out and held her hand.

Lin Xiruo was slightly surprised, but she immediately knew that it was He Jiang.

His voice sounded reproachful. “What’s wrong? Why do you have to cook in person?”

“Don’t you like sea cucumber soup? Since I had nothing to do at home, I wanted to learn how to make this soup and cook it for you personally.”

He Jiang said in a low voice, “It’s my honor. But I hope that my wife can spend more time with me and not waste her time on these things.”

The servants were slightly shocked. Even He Jiang had come to the kitchen.

However, they were not surprised by the couple’s love.

Everyone knew that He Jiang doted on his wife. Some of the older servants knew this since the couple got married.

However, at that time, they felt that it was just the beginning. Who could say for sure what would happen in the future?

After all that had happened, they knew now that the couple’s love was genuine and lasting. Even if the world collapsed, it would not change He Jiang’s feelings for Lin Xiruo.

All these years, Lin Xiruo’s condition had been fluctuating. Even if it meant He Jiang had to give up on the consortium’s matters, he would still accompany Lin Xiruo.

The couple’s relationship had never changed.

The servants quickly walked away and gave the couple some space.

Lin Xiruo smiled and turned around. “But I want to cook it for you.”

“Then let’s do it together.” He Jiang nodded. His wife was still gentle and delicate, just like when he first saw her.

Time would change, and time would pass. However, once some things were engraved in one’s bones, they wouldn’t change anymore.

“It’s been hard on you all these years, Hubby.” Lin Xiruo’s eyes were filled with tears. She didn’t know how he spent his time when she was sick.

As if reading her thoughts, He Jiang smiled. “It hasn’t been hard at all. After all, you’ve always been by my side. I always knew that you would definitely get better. That’s why I was always hopeful.”

“Hubby.” Lin Xiruo was extremely touched. She looked at the man in front of her. There were not many traces of time left on his face. He only looked more refined and gentle.

“The pot is almost burning,” He Jiang reminded her with a smile as he kissed her.

After Su Bei finished her call, she went downstairs to look for her mother. She was overwhelmed by her parents’ display of affection.

“I’m sorry. I’m just here to see if there’s anything to eat. Dad, Mom, please continue…” When Su Bei came over, the servants were gone, so she went straight to the kitchen.

Unexpectedly, He Jiang and Lin Xiruo were hugging each other and cooking something.

She and Lu Heting were both people who often showed off their affection to others. She didn’t expect that she would catch her parents’ PDA this time.

He Jiang coughed lightly and let go of Lin Xiruo. The latter’s face flushed red as she coughed awkwardly.

“Su Bei, come over quickly. Try the soup I made,” Lin Xiruo called out to her daughter.

Su Bei originally planned to leave as soon as possible, but He Jiang also said gently, “Come and try it. Your mother spent a long time preparing it.”

Su Bei couldn’t refuse, so she could only go forward and take a mouthful. She frowned slightly and said, “It’s quite delicious.”

“Then you should have a bowl.” Lin Xiruo was very happy. This was the first time she had yielded such good results.

She quickly scooped a bowl for Su Bei and He Jiang.

Su Bei held the spoon and stirred the soup gently.

He Jiang was straightforward. He finished the bowl in two or three mouthfuls. Lin Xiruo then refilled it for him.

He Jiang quickly finished all the soup in the pot.
