After being reborn, I became the big boss's darling.

Seeing that she was still standing there without moving, Shen Ceyan urged, "Aren't you coming over? Didn't you say you were going to wash your hair?"

“Here you are, here you are. I feel like I’ve entered a barbershop. You look just like that shampoo boy right now.” For some reason, this thought suddenly popped into Ji Nianci’s mind, so she said it to him with a smile.

"Does it look like it?" Shen Ceyan lowered his head, looked himself up and down, and asked in confusion.

“Hmm…the vibe doesn’t quite match…” Ji Nianci stroked her chin and looked at him seriously for a while: “He looks like a handsome shampoo boy.”

"Alright, let me, the shampoo boy, serve you, Miss." The man replied with a faint smile, beckoning her over.

Having made herself happy, Ci walked over and lay down on the bed.

"Is the water temperature suitable?" Shen Ceyan gently cradled her head and asked softly.

"Hmm, that's suitable."

While washing her, Shen Ceyan carefully massaged the acupoints on her head, always being careful to avoid her wounds.

His technique was excellent; Ji Nianci was so comfortable she was almost asleep. She closed her eyes slightly and said softly, "How come you're so good at this massage? Did you secretly learn it?"

"No, I was born with it." Shen Ceyan would never admit that he had specifically learned how to massage from a masseuse a long time ago, just so that he would have the opportunity to massage her in the future.

That makes sense, why would he specifically go to learn this? Ji Nianci thought to herself, when suddenly a sentence flashed through her mind and she blurted out: "The Innate Hair-Washing Sacred Body."

Shen Ceyan: ...

"Tsk, what are you saying?" Shen Ceyan sighed helplessly. This girl was learning all sorts of nonsense online every day.

Ji Nianci was amused by his reaction and giggled, revealing two shallow dimples on her cheeks, like a blooming red camellia.

……

"You're all done washing, get up." Shen Ceyan carefully wrapped her hair in a hair drying cap and gently patted her shoulder.

Ji Nianci was so pampered by her that she was drowsy and lay on the bed, not wanting to move at all. She just closed her eyes and pretended not to hear.

Shen Ceyan looked at her like this, sighed helplessly, and walked to her side. He slipped his arms under her knees and behind her neck, picked her up steadily, and carried her towards the room.

His embrace was warm, his steps were steady, and he had the scent of cold air on a clear winter day, like the crisp feel of soap after being exposed to the thin sunlight.

Ji Nianci secretly opened her eyes, and from her angle, she could see the gentle and open smile spreading across his face.

Shen Ceyan carried her back to the room and gently placed her on the bed. Seeing that her eyes were still closed, he said softly, "We're here. You're still reluctant to open them?"

Ji Nianci reluctantly opened his eyes; he had originally planned to pretend to be asleep so that Shen Ceyan could blow-dry his hair.

But it's okay, her motto as a lazy person is: if she can avoid doing it herself, she absolutely won't. Watching Shen Ceyan's departing figure, she thought she'd just sweet-talk him when he came back and ask him to blow-dry her hair.

A short while later, Shen Ceyan returned, carrying a hair dryer.

The man walked up to her, his voice gentle: "Get up, let me dry your hair, otherwise you'll catch a cold."

She thought she would have to act cute to get Shen Ceyan to blow-dry her hair, but she didn't expect the man to just bring the hairdryer over directly.

For some reason, the scene before her touched a soft spot in Ji Nianci's heart, and she felt a sweet warmth in her chest. This man, in everything, big or small, did things perfectly, leaving no room for criticism.

"Why are you so good to me..." she said again.

Shen Ceyan casually lifted his eyelids, glanced at her, and said, "How many times have you said this today? I've already said it, this is my basic duty. Why are your standards so low, girl? No wonder you were interested in that guy surnamed Zhou before..."

After these words were spoken, Shen Ceyan was stunned, and the two of them fell silent at the same time.

After thinking for a while, Ji Nianci decided to explain to him again: "Actually, Zhou An and I really have nothing to do with each other anymore. The reason I went to his house that day was just to get our wedding ring back. After all, it was a gift from you."

Perhaps because I have a younger sister, my parents taught me from a young age to be independent, considerate, and able to support my sister.

So even now, no matter what happens, my first reaction is to think about solving it myself. Whether it's within my ability or not, I will never think of relying on others.

I know that bringing money to his house was a bit stupid, but I genuinely didn't know what else to do at the time. I didn't tell you because I was afraid you'd be angry with me, but I didn't expect you to still get angry in the end.

Since the incident involving Ji Nianci, Shen Ceyan's anger vanished instantly.

What could be more important than her safety?

Moreover, his girlfriend was willing to explain to him again and again.

She's already done a great job, and he should treat her even better.

After listening, Shen Ceyan calmed down, took her hand, and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "The reason I was angry with you that day wasn't because the ring was stolen. It was because you didn't tell me about what happened, and you went to find him alone without being absolutely sure of your own safety."

When I found out you went to see him alone without asking me for help, I felt like a terrible husband. I can't even imagine what would have happened if I had arrived any later. What would I do if something had happened to you?

I'm glad you have a calm mind and independent thinking; it means you're capable of protecting yourself. However, we're already married, and I'm your husband. Shouldn't husbands and wives rely on each other and be honest with one another?

I hope that whatever happens, you can tell me, let me share your burden, and let me be your support. With me, you don't have to be so independent and strong. As long as I'm here, you can always be a carefree girl.

I don't want you to think I'm exceptionally good just because I do small things for you. These are things I should do, and things I do willingly. You can ask me for anything you want; no matter how much love or material things you ask of me, it's not excessive. You deserve the best. Do you understand, Nian Nian?

Shen Ceyan rarely speaks at such a long pace; when talking to others, he is always as concise as possible. Only this woman in front of him can make him express his meaning clearly in a few sentences.

After hearing this, Ci was so moved that she almost cried. She blinked unconsciously, and her long eyelashes were covered with tears, making her look like a lotus emerging from the water, a sight to behold.

She stretched out her fair arms and wrapped them around the man's neck, as if all her grievances had found a place to rest at that moment.
