If she was not here, why would he stay?

The night was very quiet. The moment he turned around, he heard a slight movement in the living room. He turned around, opened the door, and pushed it open.

The light fragrance mixed with the smell of disinfectant from the hospital assaulted her nose. Under the bright moonlight pouring down from the window, he could clearly see the figure lying on the sofa.

She was sleeping soundly. Her body was curled up, and her arms were crossed. She was curled into a small ball and sleeping in an insecure position.

The living room was not big, but she was the only one sleeping. It looked empty and cold.

Yan Yuanfei looked at the little woman on the sofa in a daze. He closed the door quietly, changed his shoes, and walked towards her, afraid that he would wake her up.

The heating in the district was not very strong, and it was a little cold. Her coat was hung on a hanger, and she fell asleep wearing only a thin woolen shirt.

Yan Yuanfei’s heart ached when he saw this. He did not know why she had come to his house. He wanted to go to the bedroom to get a blanket for her, but he was afraid that she would not be comfortable sleeping on the sofa. After hesitating for a moment, he bent down and carefully picked her up.

Wen Ruoshui was sleeping soundly, but when she was picked up, she still opened her eyes vigilantly. The lights in the room were not switched on, so she could not see the person in front of her clearly. However, she smelled a familiar smell from the man.

She had just woken up and was still a little groggy. Her voice was hoarse from waking up. “You’re back?”

Yan Yuanfei nodded, his voice sounding even sexier and gentler in the darkness. “Why did you fall asleep here?”

Before he had left, she had still been suffering from a low fever. She had just recovered a little on the day he had left. In the week he had been gone, he had been worried about her every day. However, many of his trips overseas had been conducted in secret. He had not been able to call her to ask about her condition.

“I went back to the wrong house.” At this point, Wen Ruoshui sniffled aggrievedly. “I forgot that I moved. I walked here in a daze.”

Upon seeing the woman’s aggrieved look, Yan Yuanfei let out a low laugh and sighed lovingly. “Little Muddlehead.”

Wen Ruoshui met the man’s eyes, and her heart melted. She wished she could melt in his gentle gaze. In a low voice, she argued, “I had fourteen hours of surgery.”

Yan Yuanfei’s heart ached immensely. He placed her on the bed and half-squatted in front of her. He asked gently, “You haven’t eaten yet, right? What do you want to eat? I’ll cook.”

Wen Ruoshui had already slept for a few hours and was starting to recover from her exhaustion. When she heard him mention food, her stomach started to rumble as it was empty. Her voice was soft as she looked at him with slightly dazed eyes. “Noodles.”

“Okay.” This was the first time Yan Yuanfei had seen her look so adorable. Her soft voice sounded like she was acting coquettishly with him.

In the past, when she treated him, she was always distant and polite. She kept a distance from him and did not dare to approach him.

Wen Ruoshui looked at his silly smile and lay on the bed. She looked at him and said softly, “Then I’ll sleep for a while more. Call me when you’re done.”

The corners of Yan Yuanfei’s lips curled up in joy. He looked at the young lady lying softly on the bed and could not help but reach out to pat her head gently. “Okay.”

Wen Ruoshui felt that the man’s big hand was like magic. Just a light touch made her heart jump with joy. When she saw the man’s tall figure walk out of the bedroom, she got out of bed and ran to the sofa in the living room, preparing to eat.

Although Yan Yuanfei was not in the country, the ingredients in the fridge would not disappear. Someone would come over every day to replace them with fresh ingredients.

Soon, two bowls of oily noodles were served.

Wen Ruoshui was extremely hungry when she smelled the fragrance. She took the initiative to run to the kitchen to help get spoons and chopsticks. She sat upright on the sofa and waited for the man to bring the noodles over.

There were two bowls of noodles, a plate of sweet tomatoes, and candles.

However, the strange thing was that the tomatoes were whole. In the middle was an ordinary tomato with a small tomato circle beside it.

Yan Yuanfei lit the candle and placed it on the coffee table. He switched off the lights in the living room and smiled. “Life has to be a little ritualistic, right?”

Wen Ruoshui nodded. At this moment, her mind was filled with noodles. How could she tolerate anything else? However, she still endured it. She wanted to wait until he sat down and the two of them ate together.

Upon seeing her focus all her energy on the noodles, Yan Yuanfei smiled and said, “Eat! Little glutton.”

“It smells so good!” Wen Ruoshui was like a child who had obtained the permission of an adult. She happily took a bite with her chopsticks and could not help but praise him. “Mr. Yan, the noodles you made are too delicious. If you open a noodle shop in the future, I’ll definitely come to your house three times a day to eat noodles.”

Yan Yuanfei looked at the girl in front of him with a gentle and doting expression in his eyes. He said gently, “I won’t open a noodle shop. I’ll only cook for you.”

Wen Ruoshui’s heart was beating violently in her chest, and her face felt a little hot. She buried her head in her noodles and pretended not to hear anything. She took her chopsticks and prepared to pick up a tomato.

It was a little strange. In the past, they had eaten all kinds of pickled vegetables and had never eaten sweet tomatoes.

“Wait a minute,” Yan Yuanfei shouted.

Wen Ruoshui stopped in her tracks and looked at him in confusion. She saw the man’s slender hand holding a spoon and knocking on the tomatoes one by one.

It was as if he was performing a magic trick. The tomatoes were knocked open one by one, turning into exquisite roses. Nine roses were placed on a plate.

Her eyes widened as she looked at the magical scene in front of her. She lost her ability to speak for a moment. It was too beautiful. How could he be so impressive? How did he make these roses in such a short time?

Was this food? This was simply art, alright? She could not bear to eat the tomatoes. It was too wasteful. Beautiful things should be kept for appreciation.

“There are no roses at the last minute.” Yan Yuanfei smiled, his eyes gentle as he stared at her lovingly. “Miss Wen, I’m officially wooing you here. Will you be my girlfriend?”

Wen Ruoshui had not expected him to suddenly confess to her. Her mind was in a mess as she looked at him in disbelief. Her voice was stammering. “What… what did you say?”

“Ms. Wen, be my girlfriend!” Yan Yuanfei looked at her gently and solemnly. He picked up her hand and placed it on his heart. “I don’t have roses. I only have this heart that throbs for you. Are you willing to be my girlfriend?”

He had always been confident in his actions. He would follow his thoughts step by step and only do it when he was 100% confident.

However, when it came to her, he had become unlike himself. For the first time, he was hesitant, uncertain, and worried.
