- Chapter 7 - My Wife Gives Me a Bath
After dinner, Huo Jianan had Wolfie push her wheelchair around her luxurious hospital room.
As she was being wheeled around, Grandmother Huo called to ask how her meal was and if Ruan Nianning had taken good care of her.
Huo Jianan’s own grandparents had all passed away before she was born, so she’d never experienced the closeness of a grandparent-grandchild bond. Her father had four brothers, and as a granddaughter, even if her grandmother had still been alive, she likely wouldn’t have had the time to look after her. This “cheap” grandmother, however, stirred a fresh curiosity and a newfound sense of closeness within her.
“Good, I ate very well. Ningning took very good care of me.”
“Get some rest tonight. You’ve just had surgery, so no games.” Grandmother Huo’s tone was stiff, like she was giving work orders.
“Okay, I’ll go to bed early. Thank you, Grandmother.”
On the other end of the line, Grandmother Huo paused at the words “thank you.” “Mm, I’ll come see you tomorrow morning.”
After hanging up, Housekeeper He asked, “Young Miss, shall we bathe now? Xiaoman isn’t here, so I’ll help you bathe.”
Huo Jianan: “……”
Although Housekeeper He was a woman, and one roughly the same age as her mother, the thought of asking her to help with her bath… Huo Jianan still found it deeply embarrassing.
“No need. I can wash myself. Just bring me a small stool so I can sit and wash.”
Housekeeper He was unusually insistent. “Absolutely not, Young Miss! You must never bathe alone. Remember when Xiaoman went to fetch a towel and you slipped in the tub? That kind of accident must never happen again.”
Huo Jianan: “…I’ll be careful. I’ll go slowly. I won’t slip.”
“Young Miss, with your head injury, if the Old Madam finds out we let you bathe alone, Sister Wang, Sister Mei, and I couldn’t possibly bear the responsibility.”
Huo Jianan sighed inwardly. As a corporate drone, she understood Housekeeper He, Sister Wang, and Sister Mei’s concerns and caution. If anything were to happen to her again, their jobs would undoubtedly be at risk. But to be so openly exposed before others… that, that…
At this thought, Huo Jianan felt utterly uncomfortable, even the tips of her ears, exposed above the gauze bandage, burned with heat.
Ruan Nianning suddenly reached out and touched Huo Jianan’s flushed ears, smiling. “Housekeeper He,” she said, “Jianan is shy. She’s not used to letting others wash her. I’ll help Jianan wash. Just tell me what to do.”
No, no way! Wolfie is going to bathe me?!
How could this be? Wouldn’t Wolfie see everything?
Huo Jianan hastily refused. “No need, no need. I can wash myself. I can handle it.”
She turned her head, trying to escape Wolfie’s grasp, but Wolfie held her burning ears firmly.
“Stop fussing, Jianan. Just relax and let me wash you.” Wolfie even gave her a playful wink. “You still have bandages on your head, and the doctor specifically warned against getting them wet. I wouldn’t feel right about letting you wash alone, let alone Housekeeper He.”
Huo Jianan: “……”
Wolfie’s smile was sweet and gentle, innocent and harmless. Yet Huo Jianan couldn’t shake the feeling that something was amiss.
Housekeeper He’s eyes lit up with delight. The Young Madam and the Young Miss were close, and the Young Miss adored her new wife. Now that Ruan Nianning was here to bathe her, the Young Miss wouldn’t protest.
“But these tasks…” Housekeeper He hesitated, still worried. “Young Madam, these are our duties. Isn’t it too much to ask you to do them?”
Ruan Nianning smiled warmly. “What hardship could there be? I’m Jianan’s wife, and caring for her is my duty. From now on, I’ll bathe her myself.”
Her tone was gentle and affectionate, without a trace of resentment or impatience, perfectly embodying the role of a considerate wife.
Housekeeper He grinned from ear to ear, thinking, The Young Madam isn’t like the Old Madam feared—someone who married into the Huo family solely for luxury and doesn’t truly care for the Young Miss. Seeing the Young Madam voluntarily offer to bathe and care for the Young Miss was both unexpected and deeply gratifying. “Then I’ll leave it to you, Young Madam.”
Huo Jianan was reluctantly pushed into the bathroom.
“Young Madam, after the shower, let the Young Miss soak in the bathtub. A hot water massage will do her good.” After detailing a few more precautions, Housekeeper He left the bathroom, leaving the newlyweds to their private moment.
The bathroom was warm and cozy. Ruan Nianning had already removed her coat and now took off her sweater, leaving her clad only in a fitted undergarment.
The form-fitting undergarment accentuated her curvaceous figure: ample breasts, a slender waist, and long legs. Huo Jianan glanced at her briefly before looking away, inwardly acknowledging her own inferiority.
Ruan Nianning tied up her hair, revealing her delicate features completely. Her cold, striking features remained as beautiful and alluring as ever. She approached the wheelchair, bent down, and reached for the buttons on Huo Jianan’s collar.
The sudden closeness, the slender fingers almost touching her skin, startled Huo Jianan like a frightened rabbit. She instinctively leaned back, one hand clutching her collar. “I-I can do it myself.”
Huo Jianan was currently wearing only a loose hospital gown, easy to remove.
Ruan Nianning found her reaction amusing. She’s an Alpha, yet she’s afraid of being taken advantage of by an Omega like me?
“Very well,” Ruan Nianning said, straightening up without pressing the matter.
“T-turn around.”
Ruan Nianning glanced at her, shook her head, and turned away.
The shirt came off easily enough, but when it came time to remove Huo Jianan’s pants, she struggled, finding it even more troublesome than using the toilet. They had to be completely peeled off.
Hearing the labored breathing behind her, Ruan Nianning turned around, wordlessly helped Huo Jianan grab the wall’s handrail, then crouched down and swiftly yanked off her pants, pulling down her underwear as well.
Huo Jianan: “……”
Not only had she been completely stripped, but she had also been completely seen!
Her face burned like a chili pepper, her ears flushed, and she wished she could find a crack in the floor to crawl into. Never in her twenty-plus years of life had she experienced such mortification!
Fine streams of water cascaded from the showerhead, warming her skin.
“Is the water temperature okay?”
Huo Jianan, her face flushed, rasped hoarsely, “Yes… Just right…”
She shrank into herself like a timid chickling, soaked and shivering, one hand clutching the handrail, the other covering her chest.
Ruan Nianning pulled Huo Jianan’s hand away and placed it on the shower handle. “Hold onto the handle.”
In that instant, Huo Jianan was completely exposed.
Huo Jianan: “……”
So embarrassing, so embarrassing…
The shower gel created white bubbles as a beautiful hand rubbed across her body—from her shoulders, down her slender, toned arms, to her collarbone, and then lower. Her fair, delicate skin flushed crimson, leaving her unsure if the heat came from the scalding water or the burning embarrassment from that hand.
“I can do this myself,” Huo Jianan’s voice trembled, her low murmur betraying her overwhelming shyness.
Ruan Nianning glanced at her. The young woman before her was like a rain-soaked flower, delicate and timid.
“Jianan, I only realized today how shy you are.”
Huo Jianan kept her head down, afraid to meet her gaze. “I-I’ve always been shy.”
Ruan Nianning’s lips curved slightly. Today’s Huo Jianan was quite unexpected. Now that they were officially recognized as wives, some things could naturally proceed as she wished, and Huo Jianan couldn’t refuse. Yet she still acted like a pure, innocent maiden.
Ruan Nianning continued washing her, following the curves of her body with practiced strokes. Even when reaching her most sensitive areas, her movements were those of a professional caregiver, devoid of any suggestive undertones.
Huo Jianan’s face burned with embarrassment.
Ruan Nianning handed her a towel. “Wipe your neck. Can you reach back there?”
“Yes,” Huo Jianan replied, taking the towel and wiping from her chin down to the back of her neck. She found it odd; Ruan Nianning had washed every part of her body, even the most intimate areas, yet she was making Huo Jianan wipe her own neck.
As she thought this, she scrubbed too vigorously, accidentally rubbing a spot on the back of her neck. The sharp pain made her wince.
She hissed in pain and touched the back of her neck. There was a small lump with smooth skin around it, showing no sign of being cut or scraped, yet the pain remained intense. Huo Jianan looked at Ruan Nianning and asked, almost instinctively, “Could you take a look at this lump on my neck?”
Ruan Nianning visibly froze, glancing at Huo Jianan as if trying to determine whether she was being serious or joking.
Clearly, Huo Jianan was serious. She even turned her head to expose the back of her neck completely to Ruan Nianning.
Now it was Ruan Nianning’s turn to blush furiously.
“What is it? Is there a lump?”
Ruan Nianning glanced awkwardly in the direction of the lump. “There’s no lump. Your glands are perfectly normal.”
After saying this, Ruan Nianning’s gaze darkened. She lowered her head, a cold smile playing on her lips. I thought she was shy earlier, but it seems she’s been harboring intentions all along. Is this subtle hinting because she can’t wait to claim me? What a skilled actress! A swollen gland? As if I didn’t know that’s her gland!
Huo Jianan couldn’t shake the feeling that Ruan Nianning was radiating an icy aura. If we weren’t in a society governed by law, she’d have slit my throat by now.
No way… A chill ran down Huo Jianan’s spine. I just asked her to check the back of my neck, and she’s this upset?
Wait… her gland is normal? Her gland?!
Huo Jianan froze, suddenly remembering: This is an ABO novel.
Alphas and Omegas, regardless of gender, possess glands. These glands are highly private organs, indispensable for reproduction.
Huo Jianan’s face burned crimson. She had actually exposed herself and asked Ruan Nianning to examine it. This… this was… utterly indecent.
“Thank you,” Huo Jianan forced out, feigning calm. She wrung out the towel, dried her neck, and let down her hair.
Before, she had been clueless and ignorant. Now that she knew what the protrusion on the back of her neck was, she could no longer bear to casually expose it.
After rinsing her thoroughly, Ruan Nianning offered to help Huo Jianan into the bathtub for a soak. Jianan shook her head and made up an excuse: “My head hurts. I don’t want to soak anymore.”
Soaking would require her to tie up her hair, and tying up her hair would mean exposing her gland to Wolfie. It wasn’t a headache—it was sheer embarrassment.
Ruan Nianning didn’t press the matter. Instead, she grabbed another towel from the side and dried Jianan’s body.
“Jianan, which pair do you want?”
Three folded pairs of underwear lay on the table: one mature and alluring in pure black, another modern with blue polka dots, and a third featuring adorable strawberry patterns.
Huo Jianan’s eyes lit up immediately. “The strawberry one.”
Ruan Nianning picked it up, unfolded it, and lifted one of Jianan’s legs to slip on one foot. Then she lifted the other leg and slipped on the other foot, carefully pulling the panties into place.
The blush on Huo Jianan’s face never faded. She knew she would never forget this bath for as long as she lived.
Ruan Nianning helped her into a bathrobe, settled her into her wheelchair, and wheeled her out of the bathroom.
Freshly bathed, Huo Jianan’s skin glowed with a dewy radiance, soft and delicate as the finest porcelain.
Huo Jianan admired her reflection in the mirror: her lips were red, her teeth were white, and her radiance was dazzling. Despite the pallor and weakness etched on her face due to her disability, she didn’t appear frail. Instead, there was an air of proud, ailing beauty.
Huo Jianan sighed inwardly. As expected in an ABO world, Alphas are all blessed with such striking looks.
******
After Ruan Nianning finished applying various skincare products to her face, she pushed Huo Jianan into the bedroom. There, she helped her out of the bathrobe, changed her into pajamas, carefully helped her onto the bed, and tucked her in.
Huo Jianan noticed that Ruan Nianning was drenched from helping her bathe, her damp hair sticking messily to her forehead, making her look rather disheveled.
“Thank you for all your hard work, Wife,” Huo Jianan said gratefully. “You should go take a bath too.” She was genuinely appreciative of Wolfie’s meticulous care during the bath.
To go to such lengths to care for an enemy… it must be quite a burden for her.
Ruan Nianning smiled. “It was just a bath. What’s so exhausting about that? I’ve endured far worse hardships before.”
She gently pointed to the gauze bandage on Huo Jianan’s head. “Does your head still hurt?”
“It doesn’t anymore,” Huo Jianan replied.
“If you feel unwell at all, you must tell me.”
“Mm-hmm, I understand.”
“Then I’m going to take a bath.”
“Alright, have a good soak.”
Ruan Nianning took her clothes to the bathroom, but before bathing, she went out to greet Sister Wang and Sister Mei. “I’m going to take a bath. Please keep an eye on the Young Miss.”
“Yes, Young Madam.”
As Ruan Nianning went to bathe, Huo Jianan lay on the bed, listening to the sound of splashing water from the bathroom, her mind lingering on Ruan Nianning’s words.
Hardship…
She must have gone through a very difficult time, Huo Jianan thought. Perhaps extreme poverty, barely scraping by; perhaps living under someone else’s roof, constantly watching their mood; perhaps struggling to balance school and part-time jobs to make ends meet; perhaps enduring injustice with nowhere to turn.
Huo Jianan took a deep breath, wondering if that was when she lost her mother.
Just as Huo Jianan was lost in thought, her phone rang. She looked at the caller ID: “Wang Baobao.”
When she answered, she felt as if she were speaking to the renowned general Kökö Temür of the late Yuan dynasty.
