Lin Banxia lowered her eyes and looked at the contents of the book quietly. Without raising her head, she said warmly to the people outside, "Don't wait for me, I've eaten."
The butler had no choice but to leave, but after a while, the butler came and knocked on the door again. This time he emphasized it specially, "Young madam, why don't you go over and have a few bites? The general is still waiting for you."
Lin Banxia's slender fingers landed on the page and curled slightly, her voice still gentle and quiet, "Let the general eat by himself."
This time, after the housekeeper left, he really didn't come back.
Lin Banxia also found some peace and quiet and read several pages of the book. But what she didn't expect was that half an hour later, there was another knock on the door outside the room, but this time it was He Ruojin. The voice said, "Lin Banxia, open the door."
Lin Banxia's lowered eyelashes trembled slightly, but she still bit her lips and did not say a word or move.
He Ruojin knocked on the door a little harder, "Lin Banxia, can't I even get in?"
Lin Banxia was frightened by his heavy knock on the door, and she forced herself to speak, "Are you trying to break the door?"
Hearing her speak, He Ruojin paused for a moment, and finally put down his hand on the door, but still spoke in a deep tone: "Why don't you open the door?"
Lin Banxia pursed her red lips, and after a while, she mustered up the courage to say, "My husband, apologize to me."
This time it was He Ruochen's turn to frown and remain silent.
"My husband misunderstood me like this and didn't apologize to me. I won't open the door." After Lin Banxia finished speaking, she lowered her head again and her eyes became even redder. She knew that someone as proud as He Ruochen could not apologize to her, but she I don’t want to suffer this grievance for no reason.
Because she obviously didn't do that.
However, the person outside the door was silent for a long time. When Lin Banxia thought that He Ruojin had been angry with her, He Ruojin made a voice and said quietly: "I'm sorry."
In the room, Lin Banxia's slightly lowered eyes moved, as if something was gently rippling in the middle of the clear lake...
She finally put down the book in her hand, slowly got up from the couch, walked to the door, hesitated, and then finally opened the door.
She saw He Ruojin standing outside the door with a complicated expression, staring at her.
Lin Banxia felt a little embarrassed by him, lowered her head and silently made way for him.
He Ruojin stared at her for a while, then calmly looked away and said: "I didn't know you were so stubborn, Lin Banxia."
Lin Banxia remained silent, even though she knew that she had lost her temper just now. She admitted that it was not shameful for her to be like that, but... who made He Ruojin go too far.
Fortunately, He Ruojin didn't say anything more to her. She just turned around and spoke to the maid behind her, asking her to bring the meal in.
Soon, the table was filled with meals. Lin Banxia looked up at He Ruojin in confusion, "Husband, haven't you eaten yet?"
"What do you think?"
After hearing this, Lin Banxia pursed her lips and suddenly felt a little guilty.
Only then did she realize... She seemed to have made He Ruochen wait for her for more than half an hour...
For a moment, Lin Banxia didn't dare to say anything else, so she had to sit down and eat with him.
Fortunately, after the meal, although the two of them still didn't talk much as before, the atmosphere was not as cold as before. After the meal, Lin Banxia asked the people below to remove the meal and asked He Ruojin if he wanted some. Drink tea.
He Ruochen sat on the couch and glanced at her. When he was about to refuse, he finally said "hmm".
Probably because he knew his mistake and knew that he had misunderstood Lin Banxia without asking her, so he did not do anything to make Lin Banxia unhappy at this time.
Seeing him nodding, Lin Banxia took the initiative to make him a new pot of tea.
However, while Lin Banxia was making tea seriously, He Ruojin accidentally caught a glimpse of a torn piece of paper lying at hand. He Ruojin was quiet for a moment, picked it up, opened it and took a look. It is a line of elegant and clean words - my husband's birthday will be in six days.
He Ruojin stared at the words for a long time, until Lin Banxia's soft voice came from outside the inner room, "Husband, is Ban Wen okay?"
He Ruojin came to her senses, put the paper ball back to its original place, and said yes to Lin Banxia.
Not long after, Lin Banxia came over with tea and put it in front of him. Just as he was about to say something, when he saw the ball of paper lying next to the desk, Lin Banxia was stunned for a moment and slowly realized what it was. Finally, he reached out and took it away.
Lin Banxia slowly rolled her eyes and said, "Husband, please drink tea, I will get you some hot water."
"Sit down." He Ruojin frowned and said, "These people below can do it."
Lin Banxia opened her mouth, but still didn't say anything. She sat down honestly and stuffed the paper ball hidden behind her back into her backpack. Then, she lowered her head and thought of what Mrs. He said to her. I don't know if this moment is considered a good time, but if He Ruojin is willing to sit down and drink tea and chat with her, it should be... not particularly bad.
So, Lin Banxia hesitantly tugged on the strap for a long time, and finally plucked up the courage to look up and asked: "Husband, will you be busy in the next few days?"
He Ruochen took a sip of tea and said calmly: "Busy."
"Oh..." Lin Banxia did not give up and asked again, "Then, how many days will it take?"
He Ruojin finally raised his eyes to look at her and asked directly: "What's the matter with you?"
"Just... can you spare a day to accompany me?" Lin Banxia bit her lip and said it.
He Ruojin was silent for a while when he heard this, and then slightly raised the corners of his lips, "Lin Banxia, since you want me to accompany you, why were you so angry just now?"
When Lin Banxia saw him mentioning the matter just now, she couldn't help but frowned and said, "It was my husband who misunderstood me and complained to my mother just now. Now it's me who takes the initiative to ask my husband for it, so it's naturally different."
"Yeah?"
"Since my husband doesn't believe it..."
He Ruojin frowned and interrupted her, "I didn't say I didn't believe you." Seeing Lin Banxia's eyes turning red again, he could only frown and said, "If you want to see me in a few days, ask the housekeeper to come to the military camp and tell me. yes."
Hearing this, Lin Banxia was slightly stunned. She probably didn't expect that He Ruoxin would agree to her so quickly...
Lin Banxia bit her lip gently, fearing that he would misunderstand, and then said cautiously: "Then, on that day, will my husband's whole day belong to me?"
He Ruojin raised her eyebrows slightly: "Lin Banxia, are you trying to push your limits?"
"Husband, won't you?"
However, He Ruochen was silent for a moment and said, "It's up to you."
Lin Banxia finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
That means... she can safely start preparing for He Ruojin's birthday.
