Chapter 347: Chapter 347 Just Wants Her to Stay with Him

Seeing the worry in her eyes, the man smiled faintly, holding her hand and said softly, "Don’t worry, I’m fine. It’s you who haven’t been resting well lately. Go and rest, you don’t need to keep vigil here, my presence alone is enough."

"You should go, I’ll stay," she insisted.

"No, I should be the one staying," he shook his head resolutely.

Lin Xinlan knew she couldn’t persuade him, so she stayed to keep vigil with him.

Finally, as the day came to an end, everyone could have some rest, only needing to leave a few servants to look after the memorial hall.

These past days, the two of them had been living in the old mansion.

With the memorial hall set up in the old house, it was more convenient for them to stay there, and they could also take care of Rong Guangguo and the Rong matriarch.

Rong Mingyan would come every day, but he never stayed overnight; he had no real attachment to this place.

At dinner, the Rong matriarch barely touched her food and only after Rong Shaoze’s repeated persuasions did she eat a little more than half a bowl.

Rong Shaoze also coaxed Rong Guangguo to eat more, knowing that the old man’s appetite was already poor and the loss of his son made him even less inclined to eat.

But he cared for his own health and made an effort to eat some.

Lin Xinlan ate slowly, and Rong Shaoze accompanied her at the same pace. He was almost exclusively serving her food while hardly touching his own.

After Rong Guangguo and the Rong matriarch finished eating, they went to rest, leaving just the two of them behind.

When everyone else had gone, Lin Xinlan finally put some food into Rong Shaoze’s bowl.

"You always tell others to eat more, why don’t you eat more yourself? You served me quite a lot, and I’ve eaten everything you gave me. Now everything I serve you, you also have to eat it all."

She spoke teasingly, but he knew right away that it was her way of showing she cared.

Staring intently at her without blinking, he noticed that she seemed to have lost some weight, but it only made her look more beautiful.

Feeling his gaze, Lin Xinlan looked at him puzzled and asked, "What’s wrong? Is there something on my face? I’ve noticed you’ve been strangely staring at me a lot lately."

She didn’t realize that her concern for him was already excessive, and it showed unintentionally.

If it had been her in the past, she might not have cared about his well-being at all.

Rong Shaoze did not point out her change; he feared that if he did, she might stop caring for him.

Now she was like a turtle tentatively stretching its head out of its shell. If he startled her, she would surely retreat back into her shell, possibly for a very long time.

In the second that their gazes met, his thoughts had taken several turns.

With a slight smile, he reached out to caress her face, speaking tenderly, "I noticed you’ve lost weight recently. You’ve worked hard, and I’m sorry to have you share this burden and hardship with me."

They were no longer husband and wife, and the affairs of the Rong Family should not have been her concern.

Yet, he had kept her by his side to mourn with him. The excuse he used was that outsiders didn’t know they were divorced, and her absence would lead to behind-the-scenes gossip about the Rong Family.

But only he knew that he just wanted her to be with him, by his side, always within his sight.

Only when he saw her, his heart would settle, become peaceful, and not too overwhelmed with repression.

Even seeing her so tired and worn out, he was selfishly unwilling to let her stop sharing the vigil with him.

Lin Xinlan didn’t expect him to say that. Touching her face, she asked in surprise, "Really? I’ve lost weight? I’m on a diet, actually hoping to slim down a bit more."
