Chapter 48 Massaging My Wife's Legs

"Mommy, it hurts, give Mommy candy."

"Eat candy, no more hurt."

Just as Chen Yang watched with a heartache, the little toddler's small hand held out a milk candy to Shen Xue.

Looking at the toddler, and thinking about her foot still being held by Chen Yang, she felt even more shy.

"I'll go get water to soak your feet, then use a hot towel to apply to it, and then heat up the food. Tomorrow, we'll see if we can find a doctor at the hospital."

Shen Xue's ankle was red, thankfully not swollen, but it was enough to make Chen Yang feel concerned.

"Mmm."

Shen Xue was so shy her face was crimson. She softly hummed "mmm" and didn't dare to look at Chen Yang's face until he went out to get hot water.

Shen Xue then hugged the toddler, pressing her burning face against the little one.

She was so embarrassed, this rascal, when did he become so flirtatious?

But not long after, Chen Yang came back with a basin of steaming hot water.

"Don't move, I'll wash it for you."

Chen Yang held down Shen Xue, who wanted to get up. He first tested the water temperature, then carefully placed Shen Xue's slender and delicate jade foot into the basin.

"Mmm~ Ah~"

The scalding water made Shen Xue gasp, especially as Chen Yang's hands gently massaged her sole and the top of her foot.

This made her whole body feel like an electric current was surging through it, tingly and numb, making her unable to help but moan softly, which was incredibly embarrassing.

However, seeing Chen Yang's earnest expression, with no trace of lewdness in his eyes, and just gently massaging her with concern, Shen Xue couldn't help but feel a surge of sweetness in her heart.

At least in this era, men generally had a higher status than women at home. In other families, it was always the woman who washed the man's feet.

It was rare for a man to voluntarily wash a woman's feet.

And Chen Yang was not only washing her feet but also massaging them. Shen Xue didn't say anything, but she was deeply touched in her heart. She had married a good man!

In fact, Chen Yang wasn't as calm as he appeared. Looking at Shen Xue's exquisite and delicate jade feet, and her slender and long legs, he felt his whole body was about to ignite.

He never knew his wife was so beautiful!

He had really lived his previous life in vain!

With such a beautiful wife, why would he want to return to the city? His brain must have been kicked by a donkey.

"Are you done looking? Hurry up and heat the dishes. Yan Yan is starving."

Just as Chen Yang's hand continued to caress Shen Xue's jade feet, even hinting at moving up her calf, Shen Xue finally couldn't take it anymore.

The child was still here. This rascal, didn't he know to wait for a better time? He was so impatient.

Actually, Shen Xue also felt overwhelmed. In the past, she was very shy about these things. Every time, Chen Yang would turn off the lights, and they would somehow fall asleep together.

But now, just looking at Chen Yang made her heart thump wildly. His touch on her body made her feel weak, hot, and limp all over.

"Then don't let the hot towel fall off. I'll go heat the food."

Seeing Shen Xue's flushed face, Chen Yang, who had been a little mischievous, didn't dare to talk back. He helped her place the hot towel on her reddened ankle, then quickly took the basin outside to pour out the water and prepare to heat the dishes.

Before long, the aroma of meat wafted from the room. The little toddler was almost drooling.

"Yan Yan, come, Daddy will give you some meat."

Chen Yang brought out three bowls of rice, first drizzled some braised pork gravy onto the rice to mix it, and then put some smaller pieces of braised pork and some vegetables for the toddler.

Then he helped Shen Xue to a full bowl of meat and vegetables and was about to feed her.

"What are you doing? I only sprained my foot, not my hand. I can eat myself."

"Aren't you going to feed the child? Yan Yan is so small, watch her eat by herself."

Seeing the man clumsily about to feed her, Shen Xue was annoyed.

This fool, he hadn't taken enough advantage of her yet.

Didn't he know to think about it, feed the child quickly, put her to sleep, and then the couple could do whatever they wanted later? He was so stupid.

"I just saw you were injured, I'll feed Yan Yan now, I'll feed her now."

Seeing Shen Xue had seen through his intentions, Chen Yang felt sheepish and quickly started feeding the toddler.

"Yan Yan, be good, open your mouth, eat some meat."

"Mmm, Yan Yan is so good, have another spoonful of rice."

The toddler was very well-behaved, unlike children of later generations who were picky eaters. At this time, children were already grateful to be able to eat their fill.

The little one eating mouthful after mouthful with her cheeks puffed out would have been called a little food enthusiast in later generations.

Food enthusiasts, the soul of food enthusiasts, food enthusiasts eat from bowls!

Chen Yang suddenly recalled the catchy music often played in short videos from later generations. Back then, he often saw other people's children eating with such gusto.

Now, he finally experienced the joy of his own toddler eating.

"Daddy, I'm full."

After eating a bowl of rice, some braised pork, and some vegetables, the little one patted her small belly, proving to Chen Yang that she was full.

Children always have their own unique ways of expression. Looking at the toddler's comical appearance with a few grains of rice on her lips, Chen Yang laughed heartily.

The adorable, clueless little girl Chen Mengyan.

A two-year-old, she was at the most endearing and cute age. Chen Yang cherished the opportunity to relive his life and witness his daughter's growth.

"I'm done eating. I'll play with Yan Yan. You eat quickly too."

Shen Xue glanced at Chen Yang, who was wiping the toddler's mouth, and felt a warmth in her heart. It seemed that like this, a family of three, was quite good.

However, she also hoped that Chen Yang could be admitted to university and return to the city. He had always wanted to go to university, and she hoped her husband could achieve his dream.

"Okay, Yan Yan, be good, don't touch Mommy's feet, be good, okay?"

Chen Yang kissed the toddler's cheek. He was afraid the little one wouldn't know her own strength and would accidentally hurt Shen Xue's injured foot while playing.

"Yan Yan will protect Mommy!"

"Daddy, Yan Yan is the best!"

The little one made a gesture like a hen protecting her chicks, standing in front of Shen Xue. She had seen this at her maternal grandparents' house. Mommy was hurt, so she wanted to protect Mommy too.

Seeing the toddler like this, Chen Yang and Shen Xue's hearts were warmed. Their little bean was truly heartwarming.

Looking at the oily braised pork on the table, Chen Yang also felt hungry. He first licked the gravy off his chopsticks, then directly scooped a mouthful of rice mixed with gravy.

"Delicious!"

Even without meat, he could eat a bowl of rice with just this gravy. Then, with a piece of braised pork, the meat was fatty and lean, cooked by Shen Xue until it was soft, tender, and melted in the mouth.

It wasn't greasy at all, and it had a hint of sweetness. Chen Yang's appetite was whetted, and he finished a bowl of rice in a few bites.

Seeing how much Chen Yang enjoyed her braised pork, Shen Xue felt a sense of sweetness. Chen Yang liking it meant her cooking was good.

"I stewed extra in case you didn't have enough. There's still some in the pot. You're a man, you need to eat enough to have the strength to work."

Shen Xue told Chen Yang to get more rice. But as soon as she finished speaking, she thought about the intimate activities between her and Chen Yang that evening.

She immediately felt that her previous words had a double meaning, and her ears burned again.

Ah, I'm going to die!
