After resisting on the first day, feeling disgusted on the second, and feeling helpless on the third, Ye Shu found herself half-heartedly accepting by the fourth day, and surprisingly started feeling accustomed to it on the fifth. By the sixth day, she actually found herself enjoying the variety of services provided, and on the seventh day, she even hummed a little tune while receiving them!
Good heavens, she had truly come to accept all the personal care services Mr. Sheng had arranged for her!
Could this be what they call a "forced habituation program"?
On the morning of the eighth day, after washing up as usual, Ye Shu went to the dining table, ready to enjoy the breakfast prepared by the nutritionist.
Only to find the table completely bare, not even a cup of boiled water in sight!
What’s going on here? Ye Shu picked up the phone and called Sheng Shaochen’s cell phone, "Hey, hubby, why didn’t the nutritionist prepare anything for me today? The baby and I are hungry!"
Sheng Shaochen said on the other end of the phone, "I’ve been thinking, since you were so resistant, I was afraid it would really affect your mood, so I dismissed all the various ’masters’ and ’teachers,’ and in accordance with your wishes, only left a chef to cook for you."
"Ah?" Ye Shu instantly regretted it, just as she was beginning to enjoy being taken care of, he announced that he’d followed her wishes and dismissed all those caregivers. Really, doesn’t he know women are fickle?
While feeling frustrated, she heard footsteps coming from behind her. Turning around, a bowl of fragrant multigrain breakfast was already placed in front of her.
"Mrs. Sheng, please have breakfast. The temperature and consistency are optimal for nutrient absorption," Boss Sheng said earnestly.
"Mr. Sheng? Weren’t you off to work at the corporation early in the morning?" Ye Shu said in surprise.
"I had some free time today, so Mr. Sheng is at Mrs. Sheng’s service for the whole day." Sheng Shaochen spoke and scooped up a spoonful of nutritious porridge, blew on it, and brought it to Ye Shu’s mouth.
"I can feed myself!" Ye Shu took the whole bowl of nutritious porridge to eat by herself, while the Great Demon King stood behind her, his fingers gently pressing on her neck, then moving along the acupoints near her ear to her shoulders, and back to the acupoint behind her heart.
Ye Shu suddenly stopped her action of eating the porridge because the feeling of Sheng Shaochen’s massage was so familiar!
Upon reflection, she realized, could it be—
She put down the bowl and seized Sheng Shaochen from behind to face her, "Don’t tell me, Mr. Sheng, you’ve been at home all week?"
Sheng Shaochen curved his lips in a smile, "Why do you say that?"
Ye Shu said, "Because the way you massage and the acupoints you hit are exactly the same as the caregiver! And the taste of this porridge..."
"The porridge doesn’t taste good?" Sheng Shaochen said, slowly squatting down, clasping his hands together, forming a curve in the palm, and then gently patted her lower legs a few times, "You’ve been bedridden due to unstable conditions, which can easily lead to venous thrombosis in the lower limbs, so you need to move more."
"Honey..." Ye Shu suddenly flung herself onto Sheng Shaochen, nearly knocking him over!
Sheng Shaochen scooped her up in his arms, "What’s the matter?"
Ye Shu was bursting with emotion, "I know why you hired so many professional caregivers to come back, you just wanted to find the most suitable care plan for me, right? You’ve been hiding at home these days, learning how to take care of me from them, that’s the real reason you hired them, isn’t it?"
