Chapter 540: Thank You, Husband, for Bathing Me
Clang!The door slammed against the wall behind it, the sudden noise startling Ji Wei and making her turn her head instantly.
She saw Mo Qian standing there in a dress shirt and slacks, his expression dark and brooding.
The bathroom was filled with mist, which accentuated the woman’s radiant skin, as white and delicate as porcelain. Her damp hair cascaded over her shoulders, with a few strands sticking to her fair forehead.
When Mo Qian barged in, Ji Wei had been applying body wash, her figure covered in bubbles, an unspeakable allure surrounding her.
His gaze darkened slightly.
"I’m showering. If there’s something, wait until later," Ji Wei said flatly after a few seconds of stunned silence, then resumed applying body wash to herself.
Mo Qian took a few quick steps forward, suddenly reaching out to grasp her slender wrist, his deep eyes as inscrutable as the ocean. He spoke heavily, "I told you, don’t shower alone."
Perhaps his grip was a little firm, but Ji Wei stubbornly looked up to meet his gaze, feeling slightly unreasonable: "Who made the rule that pregnant women can’t shower alone?"
He had been silent all afternoon and returned only to question her about showering. Ji Wei found it quite stifling.
Mo Qian’s face remained tense, with a trace of restrained anger.
After a few seconds of silence, he abruptly released her wrist, turned around, and grabbed the bottle of body wash from the rack.
Ji Wei watched as he squeezed a bit of milky white body wash onto his palm, then turned back and directly began applying it to her smooth, fair back.
"I can do it myself."
Ji Wei said in a sulking tone and was about to move away when Mo Qian stopped her with a command: "Be good, don’t make a fuss."
His tone carried a mix of indulgence and helplessness.
Ji Wei’s heart clenched slightly, and she stopped resisting.
She stood there quietly, letting the man cover her in body wash and then rinse her off with the showerhead. Throughout the process, Ji Wei bit her lip lightly, saying nothing at all.
After the shower, Mo Qian picked up a towel, dried the water droplets off her body, and helped her put on a robe before carrying her out of the bathroom.
He gently laid Ji Wei on the bed, pulled up the blanket to cover her, and said, "Get some sleep first. I have a few things to handle."
Ji Wei sat by the bed, watching as Mo Qian opened the bedroom door and walked out.
She sat there dazed for a moment before slowly coming back to her senses.
She understood full well that Mo Qian didn’t want her showering alone because he was afraid she might fall and get hurt.
The scent of body wash lingered around her nose, and the image of Mo Qian helping her shower replayed in her mind, filling her heart with warmth.
She reached for the phone on the bedside table and sent Mo Qian a message.
"Thank you, hubby, for helping me shower. You must be tired."
Downstairs in the study, Mo Qian had just finished a call when he received Ji Wei’s text.
He read the message several times, the corners of his lips slowly curling into a smile. Follow current novᴇls on novelFirｅ.net
There had been a project proposal that he needed to review, but Mo Qian suddenly changed his mind, shut his computer, and left the study.
Ji Wei was half-asleep when she felt the mattress beside her sink slightly. She opened her drowsy eyes to see the man’s exceptionally handsome face and froze for a moment before snuggling affectionately into his arms. As she nestled against him, she whimpered, "Hubby~ you’re here. I wanted to wait for you, but my eyelids felt so heavy... I know you helped me shower because you care..."
Mo Qian chuckled softly and pulled her closer, countering, "You say you understand, yet you still acted reluctant?"
"That’s because... I was annoyed with you," the small woman mumbled sleepily, speaking her mind honestly. "I really want to help my father’s company..."
"Do you think I don’t understand your thoughts?" Mo Qian’s large hand stroked her soft hair as he sighed lightly, "Sleep well. You’ll need your energy tomorrow to do what you want to do."
"Mm..."
Ji Wei pressed her face against his broad chest, murmuring in agreement, and soon drifted into deep sleep.
