Chapter 223 Just rest easy.
"Help her pick out a few pairs of comfortable high heels." Qin Reng placed Yu Yuetong on the sofa, holding her in his arms. "Around four centimeters high."
The shop assistant immediately obeyed and began selecting shoes for Yu Yuetong. Yu Yuetong felt uncomfortable all over; she was really not used to being waited on like this.
"No need, I can choose myself," she quickly said.
Qin Reng ignored her and sat down next to her, flipping through a magazine.
The shop assistant brought over several pairs of shoes, and Yu Yuetong tried them on one by one until she finally found a pair that was comfortable. She walked up to Qin Reng and said softly, "These are the ones."
Qin Reng put down the magazine, glanced at her, and nodded: "Okay."
He got up to pay the bill, and Yu Yuetong quickly followed. When they reached the door, they saw Qin Reng standing there, showing no intention of leaving.
"Aren't you leaving?" Yu Yuetong asked, puzzled.
Qin Reng looked at her, a barely perceptible smile playing on his lips: "There's one more thing I haven't bought yet."
"What?" Before Yu Yuetong could react, Qin Reng pulled her hand and led her into a clothing store next door.
"Clothes." Qin Reng uttered two words briefly and then began to choose clothes.
Yu Yuetong then realized that he wanted to buy her clothes. She quickly waved her hand, "No need, no need! I have enough clothes!"
Qin Reng, however, seemed not to hear her words, and continued to pick out clothes on his own, occasionally gesturing to her to show off his clothes.
"How about this one?" he asked, picking up a beige dress.
Yu Yuetong glanced at it; the dress was simple and elegant, and the color suited her skin tone well—it was indeed quite nice. But the thought that she was wearing Qin Reng's clothes made her feel awkward.
"No need..." she was about to refuse when she heard Qin Reng say, "Try it on."
His tone left no room for argument, so Yu Yuetong had no choice but to take the dress and go into the fitting room.
A few minutes later, she came out wearing the dress, standing somewhat awkwardly in front of the mirror. The dress made her look even more gentle and charming, and her overall demeanor was significantly enhanced.
Qin Reng walked behind her, looking at her in the mirror with a deep gaze.
"It looks good," he said softly.
Yu Yuetong felt her ears getting hot and quickly said, "Then I'll take this one."
Qin Reng nodded, signaling the shop assistant to pack it up.
As Yu Yuetong stepped out of the clothing store, she felt a throbbing pain in her heels again. She sighed; it seemed she was destined to suffer this ordeal today.
"I'll take you home," Qin Reng said, opening the car door.
Yu Yuetong initially wanted to refuse, but considering her current physical condition, she ultimately gave in.
Neither of them spoke the rest of the way. The quiet in the car was somewhat oppressive, making Yu Yuetong feel a little uncomfortable. She stole a glance at Qin Reng, only to find him focused on driving, his profile still handsome.
The car stopped in front of the villa. Qin Reng got out of the car, walked around to the passenger seat, and carried the baby out again.
“I can walk by myself…” Yu Yuetong’s words were interrupted by Qin Reng: “Be good.”
Yu Yuetong pouted and wisely shut her mouth. Qin Reng carried her into the living room, placed her on the sofa, and then knelt down to take off her shoes.
"Hiss—" Yu Yuetong gasped, the stinging pain in her heel making her cry out.
Qin Reng looked up at her, a barely perceptible smile in his eyes: "Does it hurt?"
Yu Yuetong nodded awkwardly, her toes twitching restlessly as she tried to avoid his touch.
Qin Reng grasped her foot and examined the wound carefully. His fingers were warm, and his palms had a thin layer of calluses. Touching Yu Yuetong's foot, he made her feel a little numb.
"Your skin is all chafed," Qin Reng's deep voice rang out. "Don't move around."
He pulled a tissue from the coffee table, dampened it with water, and gently wiped the wound on Yu Yuetong's heel.
Yu Yuetong felt a jolt of electricity surge up from the soles of her feet, shooting straight to her heart. Her body stiffened, she dared not move, her eyes darting around, unable to meet Qin Reng's gaze.
"Those shoes you wore today are no good. Don't wear them again," Qin Reng said while wiping his wound.
Yu Yuetong muttered softly, "That's because..."
"Why?" Qin Reng raised his head, looking intently at her.
Yu Yuetong quickly shook her head: "It's nothing!" She dared not say that it was because she didn't want to wear the shoes he bought, so she picked the cheapest pair.
Qin Reng put her feet down, got up and walked to the storage cabinet. After rummaging around for a while, he took out a small medicine box.
"Bear with it." He returned to Yu Yuetong's side, opened the medicine box, and found a tube of ointment inside.
Yu Yuetong smelled a faint medicinal fragrance and asked curiously, "What is this?"
"An ointment to promote wound healing." Qin Reng squeezed out some ointment and applied it to Yu Yuetong's heels. "It might feel a little cool."
Sure enough, after the ointment was applied, Yu Yuetong felt a cool sensation, and the original stinging sensation was greatly reduced.
"Thank you..." Yu Yuetong said softly.
Qin Reng put away the ointment, stood up, and looked down at her: "No need to thank me, I just don't want my wife to suffer."
Yu Yuetong's face flushed instantly; the word "wife" made her flustered. She quickly changed the subject: "Um... my clothes..."
"I'll have someone deliver it to your room," Qin Reng interrupted her. "Just rest easy."
After saying that, he turned and went upstairs.
Yu Yuetong watched his retreating figure, her heart filled with mixed emotions. Today had been truly inexplicable. She sighed, leaned back on the sofa, and rubbed her aching feet.
Just then, Qin Reng's voice suddenly came from upstairs: "Yu Yuetong, are you hungry?"
Yu Yuetong was taken aback for a moment, then quickly replied, "I'm not hungry!" She didn't want to be dragged out to eat by him again.
"Are you really not hungry?" Qin Reng's voice carried a hint of amusement. "Then I'll go eat by myself."
Upon hearing this, Yu Yuetong quickly changed her tune: "I'm hungry! I'm hungry!"
Qin Reng came downstairs carrying a tray with two bowls of noodles on it. "Come and eat," he said, placing the tray on the coffee table and beckoning Yu Yuetong over.
Yu Yuetong moved to the sofa, picked up a bowl of noodles, and smelled it; it smelled delicious.
"You did this?" she asked, somewhat surprised.
Qin Reng sat down opposite her, picked up his chopsticks, and put a noodle in his mouth: "What else?"
Yu Yuetong took a bite; the noodles were chewy, the broth was rich, and the taste was indeed quite good. While eating, she secretly glanced at Qin Reng.
This man doesn't seem so bad... Aside from having a bad temper and being a bit domineering, he's quite good-looking.
"Why are you looking at me?" Qin Reng suddenly raised his head, his eyes sharp.
Yu Yuetong quickly lowered her head to eat her noodles, and mumbled, "No...no!"
Qin Reng chuckled lightly, but did not expose her.
