Chapter 68 70 The Officer's Forced Marriage (7)
Bai Ruofu went over to check and found a small, thin girl hiding inside.
The girl, with a red ribbon tied in her hair, looked at her timidly, opened her mouth but didn't make a sound—she probably didn't know how to address her.
"You must be Niu Niu, right? My name is Bai Ruofu, and I'm your new mom. Come here, let Mommy carry you out, okay?"
Niu Niu's eyes reddened, and tears welled up instantly.
The aunties in the compound said that after Dad got married, he stopped loving them.
I feel like I'm an unwanted person in this family.
She was constantly living in fear.
But I never expected the new mother to be so gentle.
Her father died when she was very young, and her mother, unable to bear the blow, committed suicide for him.
She longs for a gentle mother, and she envies other children who have their mothers hug them or discipline them when they make mistakes.
Now she has a new mother. Her mother is holding her, and her mother smells so good. Her mother helps her tidy her clothes, wipes away her tears, and even gives her a sponge cake to eat.
Niu Niu felt like she was about to ascend to heaven with happiness!
After the banquet ended, Zheng Huai-ren couldn't wait to see his bride.
But they found Bai Ruofu holding Niu Niu, fast asleep in the soft moonlight.
Niu Niu's hands were tightly gripping Bai Ruofu's clothes, showing that she liked and relied on this new mother very much.
Children have pure thoughts; if you genuinely care about them, they can sense it.
Zheng Huai-ren couldn't bear to wake them, but he also felt somewhat wronged.
Tonight is his wedding night...
In the end, Zheng Huai-ren decided to make two bowls of noodles first, then wake up the mother and daughter so they could fill their stomachs before going back to sleep.
Bai Ruofu and Niu Niu opened their eyes before he could call them; they smelled the fragrance.
The mother and daughter walked hand in hand into the kitchen.
They had eaten sponge cake and wedding candy beforehand.
According to local custom, the bride cannot go out and must wait demurely in her room. The same applies to the newlyweds' children.
You can tell that Zheng Huai-ren has tried his best to make the meal delicious, and he even put six eggs and a lot of braised pork in it.
But the taste was indescribable.
Niu Niu ate happily, seemingly unconcerned about whether the food looked, smelled, and tasted good, as long as she could eat it.
After finishing her meal, Bai Ruofu couldn't bear to watch any longer and said, "I'll cook from now on."
Zheng Huai-ren persisted: "A-Fu, I married you so that you could enjoy a life of comfort. From now on, as long as I'm home, I'll just cook."
Zheng Huai-ren was well-educated and received a Western education, so he did not think that it was shameful for a man to go into the kitchen.
Bai Ruofu sighed and spent more than ten minutes making scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
The sweet and sour flavor of the tomatoes was fully infused into the eggs, and Zheng Huai-ren and his daughter Niu Niu ate them one after another without making a sound.
Really delicious!
Zheng Huai-ren felt he had married a treasure!
Bai Ruofu earned the power to cook at home through her actions.
Putting everything else aside, she had been cooking for the Bai family for over a decade, and no one ever spoke at the dinner table—the food was too delicious, and they didn't want to waste time on anything else.
Niu Niu then asked at the opportune moment, "Daddy, were the meals we ate before real meals?"
Why is there no taste?
Bai Ruofu was amused.
Now I finally understand why Niu Niu is so thin even though Zheng Huai Ren is not short of money.
By the time we finished eating, it was already dawn.
Seven-year-old Niu Niu went back to her room to sleep.
Bai Ruofu changed into her pajamas, washed up, and lay down in bed.
But I felt no sleepiness at all.
Although it was almost dawn, tonight was still their wedding night...
Will Zheng Huai-ren...?
Just then, I heard a man walk in.
Bai Ruofu blushed, her delicate appearance making Zheng Huai Ren's heart burn with desire.
