"Nothing . " Xuxu shook her head lightly and then nodded . "I understand . "
She released her grip and withdrew her hand slowly .
Knock knock knock .
Knocking sounds could be heard coming from behind . Yan Rusheng turned around and took a glance at the door which was left ajar . As instructed, the servant brought some food up .
When the servant walked over, Yan Rusheng extended his hand and said, "Give it to me . "
With both hands, the servant presented the bowl to Yan Rusheng with a humble nod . "Third Young Master, I'll take my leave . "
The servant left the room and closed the door lightly .

Yan Rusheng looked at the bowl of porridge . It was a bowl of bird's nest porridge that he'd instructed them to prepare earlier .
He stirred it lightly, scooped out a spoonful and brought it towards Xuxu . "Open your mouth . "
His tone was still as cold as before .
Xuxu was startled and looked at Yan Rusheng without moving her mouth .
"Can't get used to me feeding you?" Yan Rusheng raised his eyebrows . His words were filled with a tinge of ridicule . "Or do you prefer to be fed by Jiang Zhuoheng?"
Xuxu shook her head and hurriedly wiped away her tears . She stretched out her hands to take over the bowl . "I'll help myself . "
Perhaps Grandmother's sudden demise had numbed her grief-stricken heart, but she actually showed no traces of sadness or emotion towards Yan Rusheng's mocking ridicule .
Yan Rusheng didn't make things difficult for her and passed the bowl to her .

The temperature of the porridge was just right . Xuxu lowered her head and ate, one sip after another .
You have to eat, you have to take care of your health, you have to . . . bear children .
At the thought of having children, her hand trembled briefly and her thick eyelashes fluttered slightly like a pair of butterfly wings . She kept the mouthful of porridge in her mouth before letting it slowly slide down her throat .
"I've already discussed the wedding details with your grandfather . We'll hold a post-wedding ceremony one year from now . "
After a period of silence, Yan Rusheng suddenly opened his mouth to talk again .
He stood up as he spoke . Out of habit, he stuffed both hands into his pockets, indicating that he was about to leave .
Xuxu paused . With lips pursed, she answered lightly with an "Mm . "
Her obedience and submissiveness left Yan Rusheng even more annoyed . He suppressed his anger and turned around to go .
When there wasn't any trace of desire, there wouldn't be a need to pursue . This goes to show that she didn't have the slightest trace of feeling for him .
'Old Mrs . Yan's Sudden Demise—Third Young Master and Childhood Sweetheart Registered Their Marriage' .
This piece of news occupied the headlines of every major newspaper for almost a month before eventually dying down .
However, this pair of lovers—who in the eyes of the public, had finally gotten married—had been sleeping apart for a month .
For one whole month, Yan Rusheng had been sleeping in the guest room while Xuxu slept in Yan Rusheng's bedroom .
After Wang Daqin's funeral, the rest of the Yan family members who were men of position, all left one after another .
Mu Li stayed on for the longest period of time and had just departed on Monday as she had pressing matters to attend to at the university that she was teaching .
The huge dining table was now left with only the two of them . Yan Rusheng had hired a nutritionist who would prepare a variety of delicious and nutritious dishes for Xuxu .
They sat down facing each other, appearing to be strangers and not making any eye contact .
Aunt Zhang stood by the side and looked at them . Her thoughts subconsciously traveled back to Wang Daqi . She gave a sniffle, and her eyes turned red .
She rubbed her eyes and sighed . If only Old Madam were still around, this dining room would be filled with life and laughter .
These two children would definitely be bickering and refusing to submit to each other .
After Yan Rusheng finished his meal, he dropped his chopsticks, wiped his mouth and stood up to leave .
Xuxu saw that he was about to step away and mustered her courage to speak, "Come back to your room to sleep tonight . I'll sleep in my usual room . "
