Chapter 597: Chapter 597: Good, Let’s Take a Bath (1)_1

But she didn’t want to burden him... His life shouldn’t be altered by her regrets. His life should involve having children of his own... He’d lost so many, too many loved ones. He should have his own baby to heal and accompany him.

Because she liked him, liked him too much, she really hoped for his well-being... She also tried her best to bring good to him. But who would have guessed that, in the end, she would be the one causing the most damage in his life.

Her imperfections shouldn’t be his burden... Moreover, he’d have to bear this burden for a lifetime.

But after all, she’s not a saint. Her love for him is real, but she can’t achieve that selfless level of love, she can’t let him go to give him a perfect life. That afternoon, she was simply thinking that if she really left him and he got a new wife who birthed him children... With just that thought, her heart ached so badly that she couldn’t breathe. She was so jealous she could commit murder, she wanted to tear apart that imaginary new wife and feed her to dogs.

She’s upset for his sake, yet uncertain about what she should do, so she immerses herself in housecleaning, the only way she can keep herself from thinking.

Lost in her thoughts, Xia Wan’an was led back to their second-floor bedroom by Han Jingnian.

Her clothes were dirty, her hair a mess, her bare feet were colder than her hands, and even her calves were icy cold.

After they entered the room, Han Jingnian went to the bathroom first, adjusted the water temperature, filled the tub for her, and then laid out clean pajamas and a hairdryer in the bathroom. After that, he gently said to her, "Let’s take a bath first, okay?"

The gentler he was, the guiltier and more miserable Xia Wan’an felt.

Seeing her silence, Han Jingnian didn’t get angry. He led her to sit on the bed, then squatted down in front of her, looked up at her with even more patience and said, "If you don’t want to take a bath, then... how about I get some hot water for you to soak your feet?"

Xia Wan’an still said nothing, but her fingertips trembled a little.

Despite being slightly obsessive about cleanliness, he didn’t mind the messiness of her hair. He pushed the hair blocking her view behind her ear, then said in a sweetly coaxing voice, "Cold starts from the feet. Even if you don’t care about your health, having cold feet is uncomfortable, right? It’ll be much better if we soak our feet..."

After saying quite a bit, the usually silent Han Jingnian added, "I’ll go get the hot water for you now, okay?"

Having said that, Han Jingnian’s fingertips lightly brushed Xia Wan’an’s cheek, then he stood up, ready to get the hot water for her.

As he turned around, the hem of his clothes was grabbed by her.

Feeling the pull on his clothes, Han Jingnian looked back at her, "What’s wrong?"

Xia Wan’an was moved by his rare patience and mild temper. She finally said her first words since meeting him that evening, "I want to take a bath."

Han Jingnian, upon hearing her words, was visibly relieved, "Okay, let’s take a bath."

’We’... he’s been using ’we’ all night... Xia Wan’an felt a lump in her throat, she feared she might burst into tears any moment, so she hastily nodded and headed for the bathroom.

"I’ve placed your pajamas and the hairdryer in the bathroom... haven’t you had dinner yet? I’ll make something for you... Also, remember not to lock the bathroom door..."
