Chapter 797: The Disabled Young Master 9

Not long afterward, a maid from the He family came over and said quietly, "Young Madam, it's time to get down and board the ship."

Hearing this, Tang Wan hummed in acknowledgment.

Before long, someone lifted the curtain of the bridal sedan and helped her out. She then walked toward the large ship docked beside the pier.

After boarding the ship, Tang Wan was led to a private room in the cabin.

Once she arrived, she reached up and removed her bridal veil, then let out a long breath.

Don't think riding in a sedan was some kind of pleasant experience. After being jostled around in one for several days, she was practically shaken to death.

……

After stretching her aching waist, Tang Wan yawned.

Just then, a maid's voice came from outside the door. "Young Master."

"Mm. How is Young Madam? Is she feeling unwell?" He Jiantong's deep voice came from outside.

"To answer Young Master, Young Madam has been jostled around for several days. Other than looking a little pale, she's perfectly fine," the maid hurriedly replied.

"I understand. You may leave."

"Yes, Young Master!"

The door was then pushed open by He Jiantong, and Tang Wan saw him wheel himself toward her.

"Are you feeling all right, Pan'er? Once we finish traveling by water, we'll only have another two or three days before we reach the capital." He Jiantong stared at her as he spoke.

He was thinking to himself: She looks really beautiful wearing this wedding dress!

……

Hearing He Jiantong's words, Tang Wan smiled sweetly. "I'm fine. But… what about you, Jiantong? Are you feeling all right? It doesn't matter if we travel a little more slowly."

Her voice was filled with concern.

He Jiantong froze for a moment.

The next instant, the tips of his ears grew slightly warm as he shook his head. "I'm fine. Are you hungry? The food will be brought in soon."

Tang Wan immediately reached down and touched her stomach.

Then she nodded honestly. "I'm hungry. I've been eating snacks these past few days and haven't had a proper meal."

Hearing her complaint, He Jiantong was surprised, but an involuntary smile also appeared on his face.

"It's my fault. From now on, I'll make sure Pan'er has a proper meal every time," He Jiantong said gently.

For some reason, whenever he saw her, his heart became soft and he felt an inexplicable sense of happiness.

Ever since his parents had been killed and his legs crippled, he had developed little affection for this cold world, let alone experienced much happiness.

But she was different.

Whenever he saw her, his mood would improve.

Besides, the eyes couldn't lie. He had never seen any disgust or disdain in her eyes toward him.

Instead, he could feel a warmth and concern from her that he hadn't experienced in a long time.

……

At this moment, Tang Wan looked at him with shining eyes. "You said it yourself."

She then glanced at his legs, rolled her eyes, and said, "But you have to eat with me! Eating alone is too boring!"

Hearing this, He Jiantong nodded instinctively and smiled. "All right."

Thinking about it carefully, ever since his parents had passed away, he hadn't eaten with anyone else.

And from now on, she would accompany him at every meal, wouldn't she?

……

Very soon, the maid brought in the food.

Seeing this, Tang Wan immediately chased away the maid who was about to serve the dishes, then looked at He Jiantong. "Jiantong, come. Let's eat together."

With that, she picked up her chopsticks and immediately put some food into her mouth.

Seeing this, He Jiantong couldn't help curling his lips into a smile. He also wheeled himself forward and picked up his chopsticks.

It was clearly an ordinary meal, but because she was beside him eating with such relish, even he felt that the food tasted much better.
