Chapter 14 My Husband Helps Rub My Hands
Upon hearing the call, Du Wanchun quickly turned around to look at him.
Zhou Ruiyuan sat upright in the chair. Although he was disabled in both legs, he did not lose any of his imposing presence to a normal man.
He even exudes the air of a noble young master in a high position.
She was momentarily flustered.
While she was lost in thought, Zhou Ruiyuan gently took her hand, carefully opened her palm, then opened the perfume box and took out a dollop of white perfume balm to gently rub on her hand.
His hands were warm, like a soft cloud enveloping her small hands.
Du Wanchun was startled and quickly withdrew her hand. "Husband, you..."
Before she could finish speaking, Zhou Ruiyuan immediately grabbed her hand again, gently rubbing the cracked wounds on her fingers with his fingertips, and said, "This balm was made by my mother herself. Don't worry, it won't do any harm."
Du Wanchun blushed, the gentle touch from her hand felt like a feather drifting by, lightly brushing across her entire body.
She felt her heart race, and her face flushed red. "Thank you... so much..., my husband..."
When Zhou Ruiyuan heard her thanks, a small smile appeared on his lips, but he quickly hid it and pretended to be calm as he took her other hand and continued to apply the perfume to her.
Du Wanchun's hands had long been scarred from the torment of her stepmother, Liu Shi. This was the first time someone had held her hands and smoothed out the scars.
She looked up at his handsome, earnest face, and felt a warmth in her heart. The corners of her lips unconsciously turned up, and her dimples were more beautiful than flowers in spring.
There wasn't much perfume in Zhou Ruiyuan's perfume box. After applying it to Du Wanchun's hands, more than half of it was gone. He closed the perfume box and placed it in her palm, saying, "Take the rest and apply a little every day."
Du Wanchun held the incense box tightly in her hand as if it were a precious treasure, and nodded emphatically, "Mm."
"Big brother, sister-in-law, hurry up and eat, or it will get cold." Zhou Feng returned. He was blind and didn't know what the two of them were doing. He just noticed that they hadn't moved for a while, so he called out to them.
Du Wanchun quickly put the incense box away and said with a smile, "Yes, eat quickly, or it will get cold."
After saying that, he turned around and brought out the cornbread from the kitchen.
Zhou Ruiyuan followed behind her and took the bowl and chopsticks.
After the three of them had lunch, Aunt Zhou returned with Zhou Zhao.
Twenty-odd copper coins weren't much. Aunt Zhou bought some rice and medicine, but to Du Wanchun's surprise, Aunt Zhou also bought a new piece of cloth. Although it wasn't an expensive fabric, it was dyed a light orange, which looked much better than the gray linen clothes they were wearing.
Du Wanchun looked at the cloth and asked in surprise, "Mother, why did you buy a piece of cloth?"
Aunt Zhou held up a piece of cloth to her body and laughed, "Your homecoming is in a couple of days, so you should dress nicely to spite your cruel stepmother."
Du Wanchun suddenly remembered that it was the day she and her sister were returning to their parents' home in a couple of days. She had almost forgotten about it, but she didn't expect that Aunt Zhou had kept it in mind.
After gesturing, Aunt Zhou continued, "I'll make you a new dress right now, and it will definitely be the most beautiful one."
Du Wanchun quickly said, "Mother, it's actually not necessary."
As Aunt Zhou took out needles and thread from the house, she said, "Why don't you use them? Wanchun, listen to me this time. Your stepmother and stepsister have always bullied you since you were little. This time when you return to your parents' home, you must teach them a lesson."
