Chapter 406: Chapter 407
"I’ll apply the medication for you," Bo Sishen avoided her topic.
Mu Shini needed ointment all over her body, so she reached out and snatched the ointment from Bo Sishen’s hand, her cheeks dyed with a rosy blush.
"Uncle, I can do it myself!" Mu Shini said in a low voice.
Bo Sishen was her husband. When he needed to give her a massage, she would feel very shy. She had to convince herself to undress in front of her husband.
But in front of Uncle, she couldn’t bring herself to do it.
Even though they had slept together, she still didn’t have the courage to undress and let him apply the medication for her.
Besides, Uncle was now stuttering and avoiding her questions, proving that he was just teasing her.
"You can apply it on your back yourself?" Bo Sishen raised an eyebrow and asked softly.
"I..." Mu Shini’s face turned even redder.
"I prepared a dress for you with a back zipper. After you wash up, apply the ointment where you can, and I’ll help you with your back," Bo Sishen said softly, his thin lips slightly pressed together.
"But..."
"We’ve already slept together, what are you being so coy about?" Bo Sishen’s eyes reflected a fluctuating light.
Then he took out a paper bag from the wardrobe, handed it to her, and left the room, saying, "Breakfast is almost ready."
Mu Shini hurriedly took the paper bag and went into the bathroom to wash up.
Seeing her body covered in red spots, she felt a wave of trypophobia, her scalp tingling. She closed her eyes and quickly applied the ointment.
After the ointment gradually dried on her body, she put on the dress. But thinking about exposing her bare back to anyone other than her husband made her feel uneasy.
She could only apply the ointment to her palms and rub it on her back as best as she could.
Her hands could reach each other behind her back, so applying a bit of ointment wasn’t too difficult for her.
When Mu Shini went downstairs, Bo Sishen, like waiting for her, stepped forward to help apply the ointment, "Nian Nian, did you bring the ointment down?"
Mu Shini quickly took a step back, smiled with pursed lips at Bo Sishen, and said, "Uncle, I’ve already applied it, even on my back. You don’t need to trouble yourself."
When she smiled, dimples appeared on her cheeks.
Seeing the sweet smile on her lips, Bo Sishen was dazed for a moment. Coming back to his senses, he said in a low voice, "Are you so afraid that I would take advantage of you?"
Mu Shini’s smile froze instantly, her face turning red. She pursed her lips and said, "Not at all, it’s just that if I can do something myself, I don’t want to trouble others!"
If it was something she could do, she wouldn’t bother others with it.
Her independence, in Bo Sishen’s eyes, was a virtue, making him increasingly infatuated with her unique qualities.
She was born perfect. Looking across the entire Qingcheng, how many girls were born into a military family like Mu Shini, with an impressive grandfather?
However, she didn’t let it make her arrogant or proud. Instead, she lived like an ordinary girl, self-reliant and strong, which made people feel at ease.
"Then sit down and have breakfast," Bo Sishen pulled out a chair for her and said in a low voice.
"Oh, thank you." Mu Shini walked over, adjusted her skirt, and sat down. Seeing the sumptuous breakfast, her appetite was instantly awakened.
"Uncle, you’re really good at cooking! Your future wife is so lucky! With you as a chef, she’ll be in for a real treat!" Mu Shini praised without reservation while eating the Western-style breakfast Bo Sishen had prepared for her.
Bo Sishen, sitting opposite her, heard Mu Shini’s praise, and the corners of his lips lifted slightly, "Wife?"
Mu Shini suddenly seemed to remember something and smiled lightly with pursed lips, "Maybe it could be a husband or a boyfriend."
All the handsome ones seem to like being with each other, right?
Bo Sishen heard these words, his brow furrowing with a somber expression.
