The temperature of the water was just right. It was extremely comfortable.

More importantly, this steady and reliable man was meekly squatting in front of her. He had a resolute expression on his face. He used his big hands to handle her small feet and rubbed them back and forth, washing and massaging them for her.

Chen Zhiguo smiled. He did not let the woman stretch her feet, and continued to gently massage them. “I’ve learned a little. A massage will reduce the pain, and you will also feel better.”

Ding Jun opened her mouth and looked at the handsome man in front of her. The temperature in her face rose. In the end, she did not say anything and let him massage her.

Looking at the little woman’s shy and red face, Chen Zhiguo’s eyes had a hint of a smile.

After soaking her feet, Ding Jun turned sideways to the wall and slept in the bed. After Chen Zhiguo finished cleaning up, he naturally slept away from the bed.

Smelling the fresh and pleasant smell of the man’s body, Ding Jun’s heart pounded non-stop. However, she did not dare to turn around and talk to the man.

Suddenly, the man’s big hand reached out. Ding Jun held her breath, and her heart almost jumped out. However, she saw that he was only tucking the corner of the blanket for her. She felt somewhat disappointed for no reason.

It was not that Ding Jun had never had a man in her previous life. It was just that he was not the type of person she liked. She had never met someone like Chen Zhiguo, who just happened to be the type of person she liked.

Moreover, she had been in a relationship for more than ten years, so she was especially nervous when she was close to Chen Zhiguo.

Ding Jun clutched her stomach and felt dizzy. With mixed feelings, she fell asleep.

Sure enough, after she soaked her feet, it was indeed better.

In the middle of the night, Ding Jun’s stomach began to cramp. She woke up groggily from the pain and could not help but let out a low moan.

Suddenly, a pair of big hands reached out and gently rubbed her.

Ding Jun’s body trembled slightly and she sobered up a little. Feeling the scorching heat coming from the man’s hands, the woman’s tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed. She felt a wave of calmness and gratitude in her heart. “Thank you.”

This was the first time someone had taken care of her so meticulously and considerately when she was on her period.

Chen Zhiguo’s voice was a little hoarse. “It’s alright. It’s my duty.”

Ding Jun felt a warm current surge through her heart. The man helped her rub her stomach. As he rubbed her stomach, Ding Jun did not know when she had fallen asleep.

Halfway through her half-awake sleep, she realized that the man was still helping her rub her stomach.

Chen Zhiguo helped her rub her stomach for the entire night. It was Ding Jun’s first time she had a stable sleep on her period.

The next morning, Mother Chen finished her breakfast and brought two bowls of pickled vegetables over. She poked her head out and saw that Ding Jun was still sleeping while her son was busy working in the kitchen. She pouted.

“Mom, you’re here.” Chen Zhiguo saw Mother Chen and greeted her with a smile. He continued to work.

“I just opened the lid of the new pickled vegetables.” Mother Chen placed the pickled vegetables on the table. She seemed to have thought of something and leaned closer to Chen Zhiguo. She lowered her voice, “Yesterday evening, Ding Jun’s mother came to my place to borrow money. She actually said that she needed to buy some furniture, but I didn’t lend it to her.”

“I gave Ding Jun half of your salary. You have to be careful of her. Don’t let her subsidize the money to her family. A hundred is not a small amount.” Mother Chen pouted with a serious expression.

Chen Zhiguo stirred the porridge in the pot and closed the lid. He looked at Mother Chen with a smile. “There’s no need. Ding Jun is already married to our family. What she does is her freedom. Moreover, she has six children. I believe she knows what to do.”

Mother Chen raised her eyebrows. Thinking of Ding Jun’s behavior these past few days, she did not say anything else.

When Ding Jun woke up, Mother Ding had already left. Chen Zhiguo had just finished preparing the meal and brought it to the table, waking up the children.

A few children sat around Chen Zhiguo, all chattering. The scene was exceptionally warm.

“You’re awake. Come and eat.” Chen Zhiguo put down his chopsticks and smiled at Ding Jun. 

It was plain rice porridge, stir-fried vegetables, fried eggs, and pickled vegetables. It was simple, light, and nutritious.

“Why didn’t you call me? I could have helped you.” Ding Jun sat down, and there was a hint of embarrassment in her tone.

“I wanted you to sleep more.” Chen Zhiguo put a fried egg into the bowl in front of her.

“Let’s go back to your mother’s house later. We’ve been married for a few days.” When the meal was almost finished, Chen Zhiguo suddenly mentioned this, and Ding Jun was stunned..
