Qin Ziming, who had been hit, simply smiled faintly, then bent down and gently put Shen Shiyi down. Shen Shiyi thought that once he put her down, he would sit down. Unexpectedly, the man knelt on one knee, reached out and lifted one of her feet, took off her high heels, and looked at her feet, asking softly.
Does it hurt?
Hearing his words, Shen Shiyi was stunned.
"Actually, it's not so bad."
Qin Ziming looked up, her heart aching.
"I want to hear the truth from you."
Meeting his gaze, Shen Shiyi pursed her lips and spoke.
"Somewhat."
Qin Ziming reached out and began massaging her feet down to her calves.
"Is the pressure appropriate?"
Shen Shiyi nodded slightly.
"Um."
When Qin Ziming took off her other high heel and started massaging her calf, Shen Shiyi reached out to stop him from continuing.
"Zi Mo, get up and sit down for a while to rest. You must be tired today."
Qin Ziming smiled when he heard her words of concern, slowly stood up, and then sat down beside her.
"good."
When their eyes met, one's eyes were filled with tenderness, and the other's with affection. Ten minutes later, Qin Ziming bent down to help his wife put on her high heels. Seeing his gentle and considerate manner, Shen Shiyi smiled tenderly.
After resting, the couple went downstairs to continue entertaining the guests. The lively banquet was for important people, and everyone was generous with their praise and blessings in response to the newlyweds' warm hospitality.
After the lively banquet ended, the relaxed crowd looked exhausted.
Qin's mother, who was resting on the sofa, looked at the newlyweds.
"Zi Mo, Shi Yi, you should go back to your room and rest." We can't delay the young couple's life.
The two looked at Qin's mother and nodded slightly, then addressed the crowd.
"Grandpa, Mom and Dad, Uncle, Aunt, Big Brother, we're going upstairs now."
The two left hand in hand, and everyone watched them go.
Grandpa Su looked away.
"Everyone is tired, let's go back and rest."
Everyone nodded slightly, and Qin's mother and husband stood up.
"Dad, Big Brother, let's go upstairs first."
The two nodded slightly.
Everyone left one after another, until only Grandpa Su and Su Fei remained in the living room. The father and daughter looked at each other, and Su Fei smiled and spoke.
"Dad, let me help you back to rest."
Grandpa Su nodded.
After washing up, Shen Shiyi put on a loose and comfortable blue nightgown. Qin Ziming, who had been waiting for Shen Shiyi to shower first, turned on his computer to start working. Hearing the noise, he looked up at his wife who was drying her hair with a towel.
"It's done washing."
Shen Shiyi nodded slightly.
"Um."
Shen Shiyi let go of the hand drying her hair, bent down to take out the hair dryer from the drawer, and was about to dry her hair when a large hand came over and took the hair dryer from her hand.
Shen Shiyi looked at Qin Ziming with a puzzled expression. Qin Ziming turned on the switch and began to blow-dry her hair gently and carefully.
Shen Shiyi understood his meaning and did not stop him, naturally enjoying the care from her husband.
After Qin Ziming dried her hair, the man spoke softly.
"I'm going to wash up. Wait for me."
Hearing his words, Shen Shiyi pursed her lips and nodded.
"good."
Qin Ziming took out a change of clothes from the wardrobe and walked towards the bathroom. Shen Shiyi glanced at the closed bathroom door, walked to the dressing table, sat down, and began to carefully apply skincare products.
In the first few years of her military service, she didn't pay much attention to her skin. In this year, she started to take care of her skin again.
Having just applied a face mask to moisturize her skin, Shen Shiyi lay relaxed on the bed. Qin Ziming opened the door and saw his wife listening to music; he smiled gently and walked over.
"Wife."
Shen Shiyi looked up and saw the man's muscular upper body, with only a towel wrapped around his lower body. She was stunned and completely frozen in place.
Seeing her swallow hard, Qin Ziming couldn't help but chuckle and step forward.
"Is my wife satisfied with my physique?"
Shen Shiyi was taken aback by his words, and immediately turned her face away.
Why aren't you wearing a shirt?
I've seen it before, but back then it was just a simple comradeship. Now it's so easy to develop feelings like this...
Ye Yingjian drove back to Shen Shiyi's house, with Aunt Qu, Xia Yiran, and Sun Zhiling in the car.
After getting out of the car, the group took the elevator to the floor where Shen Shiyi lived. Aunt Qu took out her key, opened the door, and then spoke to the group.
"Come in quickly."
He bent down and took out several pairs of women's slippers from the shoe cabinet, and asked the group to change into them.
"There are two bathrooms in the house. Which two of you can go first? I'll go get you some clean clothes."
The three looked at each other, and Xia Yiran spoke calmly.
"You two go first."
The two nodded slightly, and Aunt Qu came out with clean clothes, a disposable toothbrush, and toothpaste.
"Sister Qu, Zhiling and I will wash first."
Aunt Qu nodded slightly, handed the things to them, and whispered some instructions.
"The disposable face towels are inside, you should go in quickly."
The two nodded slightly, turned and left, each going into the restroom. Aunt Qu looked at Xia Yiran and spoke softly.
"Miss Xia, please sit on the sofa and rest for a while."
Xia Yiran nodded slightly.
"Okay, thank you, Aunt Qu."
Xia Yiran took the clothes from Aunt Qu's hands and went straight to sit down on the sofa.
After Sophie escorted the old man to his room, she went to check on the two children. As she gently opened the door and approached the bed, she sat down softly and tenderly stroked the two children.
"Finally, we have a complete family."
The newlyweds lay on the bed, staring blankly at each other. Finally, Qin Ziming mustered up the courage to speak.
