CHAPTER 815 A LOVING COUPLE

"Master."

The butler walked in from outside. "Madam has cooked dinner and has invited you over to eat.”

The butler seemed a little afraid of Jiang Daoran's temper and didn't dare to go too close. He remained about three steps from the door and sounded like he was in a difficult position.

Jiang Daoran frowned slightly and was about to wave his hand to send the butler away. But after thinking about it for a while, he said, "Got it. I'll go over in a while."

He had already rejected this request many times before. It would make him seem heartless if he continued to refuse.

Jiang Daoran only felt apologetic and guilty towards his current wife. He didn't have any feelings for her. He always only had one woman in his heart.

"Master, I'll get back to work."

Jiang Hai didn't want to disturb Jiang Daoran any further.

He had seen how Madam's love for Jiang Daoran never lessened over so many years, and nobody knew what to do with her obsession over him.

Jiang Daoran had only one person in his heart and this was something that would never change no matter what happened.

How many times had Madam cooked personally for Jiang Daoran and called him over?

And how many times had Jiang Daoran rejected her before this?

At least he finally couldn't bear to refuse her anymore.

In the dining hall of the Jiang house.

The decor of the hall was very simple, and somewhat worn out. It didn't look like the way a supremely powerful family would have furnished their dining hall.

Jiang Daoran refused to renovate the place because he had many memories of this place. If anybody tried to change anything, Jiang Daoran would never let him off.

He walked into the dining hall to see Xue Ning carefully place each dish on the table, as if she was afraid that if the dishes weren't placed nicely enough, it would affect Jiang Daoran's mood when he ate.

She had married into the Jiang family for more than fifteen years now. Besides sharing the bed with Jiang Daoran on the day they were married, Jiang Daoran moved to sleep in the study from the second day onwards.

The two seemed to get along well like they were a loving couple, but they weren't intimate at all and had no children. Xue Ning knew that Jiang Daoran was not willing to have children with any other woman.

But she never talked about it and respected Jiang Daoran's decision, even though the Xue family had been very unhappy about this and she always had to defend Jiang Daoran.

"AHEM."

Jiang Daoran purposely coughed as he walked in. Xue Ning immediately turned and had a pleasantly surprised smile on her face.

"Daoran!" She walked over quickly. "I've made a few of your favorite dishes, eat with me today, won't you?"

The joy and anticipation on Xue Ning's face was the same as what she looked like fifteen years ago. She had a few faint wrinkles now, but she was still as beautiful as before.

Jiang Daoran felt bad for her.

He felt that he had really been cruel. He had already made one person suffer, and now he was making a second person suffer.

Jiang Daoran grunted and nodded. Xue Ning immediately brought him to his seat and quickly got him a bowl of rice, a bowl of soup and took some food for him.

"I heard from the kitchen that you like to eat this dish, so I went to learn how to cook it from the chef. Try some?"

"And this soup too. Back when Zhao..."

Xue Ning suddenly stopped herself when she mentioned this surname. Her face paled a little and her eyes instantly teared up. She suddenly felt sad for herself. She had worked so hard almost all her life but she just couldn't match up to that woman.

No matter how hard she tried, she could never replace that woman. She never thought of replacing that woman in Jiang Daoran's heart, but couldn't he spare her just a little space?

"Xue Ning, I owe you too much," Jiang Daoran sighed as he put some food into Xue Ning's bowl. "Don't wait for me anymore."

Xue Ning looked at the food in her bowl.

She had a smile on her face but her tears kept falling. owns all © content.

Jiang Daoran felt like something tugged hard at his heart. He wanted to console her but he didn't know what to say.

When he noticed the wrinkles that were appearing around Xue Ning's eyes, he felt that he had really been too cruel. He had held Xue Ning back for her entire life.

"It's been many years now and I've always told you the same thing. I've even told you to seek out your own happiness and I would never stop you from doing so." He looked at Xue Ning, "I'm not worth waiting for. So why are you doing this to yourself?"
