Chapter 801: The Disabled Young Master 13

This was the first time He Jiantong had ever had someone beside him while he was going through account books.

But he soon discovered that he really liked the feeling of having someone accompany him.

From time to time, he would look up and steal a quick glance at Tang Wan. Whenever he saw her engrossed in her storybook, a gentle look that he himself didn't even notice would appear in He Jiantong's eyes.

……

Over the next few days, the two of them stayed together almost all the time except when they were sleeping.

It was only then that He Jiantong discovered that Tang Wan seemed to possess a natural magic that made people want to get close to her.

The longer he stayed with her, the more relaxed and happy he felt, and the more reluctant he became to let her leave his sight.

If Heaven really had deliberately taken away his legs, then perhaps she… was the compensation Heaven had sent him.

Otherwise, how could she have appeared by his side like a fairy and brought him a happiness he hadn't felt in so long?

……

By the time the ship docked, He Jiantong's favorability had already surpassed 75 points.

Tang Wan actually hadn't deliberately tried to increase He Jiantong's points anymore.

Ever since she learned that the Jiantong in every world was the same person, she actually wasn't that concerned about her points anymore. Instead, what she cared about more was Jiantong's life and feelings in each world.

Take this world, for example.

When she had seen He Jiantong's lifeless, gloomy expression through the hole in the wall, her first thought hadn't been about how to increase his favorability. It had been about how to make him smile again and how to bring him happiness.

After spending these past few days accompanying him, seeing his expression gradually soften and the smiles on his face increase, Tang Wan felt far more accomplished than she would have if she'd simply maxed out his favorability.

Because Jiantong was happy because of her!

She had brought him happiness.

That was more important than anything else.

……

After the ship docked, He Jiantong didn't immediately disembark. Instead, he went to the door of Tang Wan's private room and unconsciously softened and lowered his voice.

"Pan'er, the ship has docked. We should get off."

Hearing this, Tang Wan hurriedly replied, "I know, Jiantong. Let me put my veil on."

Although she hadn't needed to wear her bridal veil every day while traveling by water, they still had to follow the proper customs for the rest of the journey to the capital, which meant she would continue traveling in a sedan.

He Jiantong immediately hummed in acknowledgment and patiently waited for Tang Wan to come out.

Before long, the door to the private room opened. Tang Wan had changed back into her wedding dress and put on her bridal veil before coming out.

"Jiantong, I'm ready," Tang Wan said.

Looking at her with her face covered by the bridal veil, He Jiantong's eyes softened. "Mm. Shall I lead you out?"

"Sure." Tang Wan nodded.

……

The next moment, He Jiantong reached out his hand toward Tang Wan.

One hand held Tang Wan's slightly rough palm while the other turned the wheels of his wheelchair as they headed toward the deck.

Once they reached the shore, he had the maid help Tang Wan into the sedan.

"Just three more days of sitting in the sedan. Hang in there a little longer," He Jiantong said before she got in.

"Mm!" Tang Wan answered.

After some time, the auspicious hour arrived, and the sedan bearers lifted the sedan.

The group began making their way toward the capital.

……

Three days later, at dusk, they finally arrived in the capital and reached the He residence.

"Pan'er, we've arrived." He Jiantong wheeled himself over to the sedan.

Hearing this, Tang Wan immediately perked up. "All right, Jiantong."

He Jiantong smiled, then motioned for the maid to help her down.

Not long after Tang Wan stepped out of the sedan, a somewhat shrill woman's voice rang beside her.

"Oh, Jiantong is back from bringing home his bride!"
