The Billionaire's Hidden Affection

Chapter 1070 - 1067: An Instant, an Eternity (Part 4)

He completely complied.

Washed his hair, face, brushed teeth, wiped his body, changed into clean clothes... Especially after so long, fearing wound infection, he had seldom bathed. Now, with his hair washed and body wiped clean, he felt a few pounds lighter.

"Xiaojue, do you feel much lighter?"

"Yeah."

"Do you know what weight you shed?"

"What?"

"Mud. Haha, at least you washed off several pounds of mud balls from your body."

She laughed heartily, and he laughed too.

Her fingers gently massaged his shoulder and neck: "You’ve been lying down for many days; your body must be sore and stiff... Does it feel much better to get a massage like this?"

More than just comfortable!

It was an immortal-like enjoyment.

Even if she wasn’t a professional masseuse, his mood was refreshed, just like back in the day when she would massage him like this after a tiring day at work.

"Xiaojue, what do you want to eat today? I’ll make you something delicious."

"I like whatever you make."

"Alright, just wait, dinner will be ready soon."

Two steaks, garnished with broccoli, golden-brown potato slices, and freshly baked piping hot croissants. The aroma of black coffee was especially strong, making mouths water even before a sip.

The dining table was set on the lawn, with two rattan chairs, a bottle of fresh flowers on the table, surrounded by golden little blossoms on the grass, a large tree with lush branches and leaves, doves cooing as they waddled around unafraid of people.

And across, a woman carrying mushroom soup: her ponytail high, wearing an apron, skin fair with a rosy glow, bright eyes, long eyelashes fluttering, like a painting stepping out from the serene intersection of time and space...

He had imagined this scene many times.

In a foreign land, a world for just two people, perhaps even with a little child... For this, he was willing to pay any price.

Now, finally the dream has come true.

But, he knows, just like in the past dreams—soon, this dream will crumble.

A glance, eternity!!

She already carried over the mushroom soup, ladling a bowl for him, speaking with a gentle smile: "Xiaojue, try this. It’s my first time trying to make mushroom soup. I found the cream flavor too strong, not to my liking, so I made Chinese-style mushroom soup... Haha, look..."

She stirred with a spoon, and seeing it, Huang Xiaojue realized it was less mushroom soup, more like sliced mushroom and meat soup, with cucumber added.

"Try it, see if the taste is good?"

He took a sip: "It’s very delicious."

She was elated: "Today’s steak is the real treat, don’t mind how ugly it looks, the taste is actually quite good..."

The steak was indeed quite ugly, a bit charred.

"I lost track of time, and when I checked, it was almost scorched. But, it’s just one side that looks bad, inside it’s tasty and juicy, come on, try it..."

She helped him cut the meat into small pieces, skillfully spearing one piece of meat and handing it to him: "Hey, honestly, when I eat steak, I don’t cut it much, just directly spear it with a fork for the joy of eating big chunks of meat and drinking large bowls of wine..."

"You think you’re a Liang Mountain hero?"

"Aren’t I? Eating like this is the best way. Xiaojue, you won’t believe it until you try it..."

He really imitated her, spearing the largest piece of meat and putting it into his mouth.

"Doesn’t this feel awesome?"

His face was full of smiles, but inside, it felt as if his heart was bleeding.
