Chapter 137 Feet Washing
As soon as An Xiaoyue got home, she changed into her pajamas and lay down on the bed.
She took a cushion and placed it under her calves to increase blood flow back to the heart and reduce leg swelling.
On the bare feet, the indentations from the socks and shoes were clearly visible.
Fu Shengyang sat down on the edge of the bed and put her legs on his lap.
The unusual touch and temperature caused An Xiaoyue to instinctively shrink back.
But Fu Shengyang grabbed her ankle, and she couldn't escape.
An Xiaoyue frowned slightly, wondering to herself, "My feet have been in my shoes all day. I wonder how much sweat they've produced? Do they smell sour?"
Fu Shengyang had no idea what she was thinking; he was only concerned about her edema.
He lifted up a section of his trouser leg and saw sock marks on his calves.
He knew that Attorney Zhong held a place in Xiaoyue's heart, just like the friendship between her mother and mother-in-law.
If she were to ignore Attorney Zhong's illness, it wouldn't be the kind and loyal Xiaoyue she is.
He felt sorry for Xiaoyue, but he couldn't persuade her otherwise. He could only try to alleviate her swelling.
"I'll prepare a warm foot bath for you, and then I'll have Aunt Cui cook you a bowl of red bean soup."
"it is good."
Fu Shengyang had been systematically learning about pregnancy-related matters from Dr. Zhang, so An Xiaoyue obediently cooperated with his arrangements.
After Fu Shengyang put her legs back on the cushion, he got up to prepare hot water.
An Xiaoyue listened to the sounds coming from the bathroom. After Fu Shengyang finished calling Cui Ma, he turned off the water.
She also got up and prepared to soak her feet in the bathroom.
"I'll bring it over." Fu Shengyang had already brought out the warm water, with a towel draped over his arm. "Go sit on the sofa."
An Xiaoyue obediently did as she was told.
Fu Shengyang: "I set the water to 45 degrees Celsius, it's not hot."
After he put the water down, he didn't leave; he remained squatting in front of her.
An Xiaoyue didn't move; she would feel uncomfortable having Fu Shengyang accompany her while she soaked her feet.
"I can soak my feet myself, you go and do your thing."
Fu Shengyang looked up and stared directly into her eyes. "Besides taking care of you, I don't have anything else to do."
It means that Fu Shengyang will watch over her while she soaks her feet.
An Xiaoyue was immediately in a dilemma, her toes, hidden inside her indoor shoes, gripping the soles tightly.
Fu Shengyang: "Do you want me to help you take off your shoes?"
An Xiaoyue refused him with her actions, saying, "No need, I can do it myself."
As soon as she put her feet in the water, Fu Shengyang's hands also entered the water, gently massaging her.
An Xiaoyue stared at Fu Shengyang's hands without blinking.
When she was taking a shower, she couldn't even take care of her feet.
They usually just rub their left and right feet together, then use a bath brush to scrub them and that's it.
At this moment, she was especially afraid that Fu Shengyang's hands would knead out "noodles".
If that were the case, she would definitely be too embarrassed to face Fu Shengyang again.
Fu Shengyang lowered his head, looking serious.
An Xiaoyue thought, he really is a very, very good and gentle person.
"Why didn't you reply to my messages today?" Fu Shengyang broke the silence of the room and asked her.
An Xiaoyue then remembered that she had indeed forgotten to reply to the message on her way to the hospital that afternoon.
Fu Shengyang had previously told her that she had to answer the phone and reply to messages.
She explained, "I was talking to Lingxi at the time."
Fu Shengyang chuckled, "Aren't you bored at home alone while I'm at work?"
An Xiaoyue didn't understand the meaning of his smile. Did he think she had spent too much time with Lingxi today?
Or is he really considering the role-playing game he mentioned this afternoon?
She prefers the latter.
An Xiaoyue hurriedly explained, "Sending you President Ji's photo was a decision I made on a whim, not what you think."
"Oh, really?" Fu Shengyang asked back, clearly not believing what she said.
"Yes," she answered affirmatively.
"I think it's quite interesting." Fu Shengyang's expression seemed to say: I like it, let's play some role-playing too.
Uh... why isn't Fu Sheng listening to her?
Seeing that she didn't speak, Fu Shengyang's dark eyes were full of suspicion. "Could it be that Xiaoyue was lying to me this morning when she said she liked my figure?"
"Hehe~" An Xiaoyue wanted to get away with it, so it was best not to say anything.
"Just smile and agree to my request then."
This doesn't sound legitimate at all; if she actually agreed, she'd owe him a lot.
After giving birth to Lucky and completing her postpartum confinement period, she estimates she will be staying in Lucky's room for an extended period.
However, she never worries about things that haven't happened yet, and just laughs it off, saying, "We'll talk about it when the time comes, we'll talk about it when the time comes."
Fu Shengyang lowered his eyes, his smile deepening.
As we chatted, the water temperature cooled down.
Fu Shengyang helped her wipe the remaining moisture off her feet and thoughtfully helped her put on indoor shoes.
"Go lie down." With that, he carried the basin toward the bathroom.
Just as An Xiaoyue was about to go to bed, Fu Shengyang's phone, which was on the sofa, rang.
An Xiaoyue glanced at it; the note read "Aunt Ji".
Ji Yubai's mother?
"Xiaoyue, answer the phone for me."
An Xiaoyue hesitated. It was his phone. Why should she answer it?
She didn't want to help.
"I'm in the bathroom, it's not convenient." Fu Shengyang's voice came from the bathroom again.
Ok.
An Xiaoyue picked up her phone, cleared her throat, and then answered the call, "Hello."
Mrs. Ji on the other end of the phone thought she had dialed the wrong number. "Why is it a girl's voice?"
She looked at her phone suspiciously. "It's Sheng Yang's phone number."
"Hello, I am Fu Shengyang's..." She had never met Ji Yubai's family and didn't know how to explain her identity, so she changed the subject and explained, "Mr. Fu is not available to answer the phone. He will call you back later."
After saying that, An Xiaoyue prepared to hang up the phone.
Upon hearing this, Madam Ji quickly called out to her, "Wait, you're Sheng Yang's wife, aren't you?"
Since the other party had guessed, she saw no need to hide it. "Yes."
"You should call me Aunt Ji. I've watched Sheng Yang grow up since he was a child. He's very well-behaved and smart."
Her gentle and soft voice immediately suggests that she is a very cultured woman.
An Xiaoyue's voice was no longer so hesitant, "Yes, I understand, Aunt Ji."
Hearing her clear, clean voice, Mrs. Ji pictured a pair of bright, watery eyes, smiling as she answered the phone.
Overjoyed, her tone became somewhat excited.
"Oh, you're such a good child. Come visit your auntie with Sheng Yang when you have time. Your auntie makes lots of delicious snacks."
An Xiaoyue remembered the flower cakes that Fu Shengyang had brought back. "Aunt Ji, I've tried your flower cakes, they're delicious."
Mrs. Ji was so moved that she almost burst into tears.
The two men in her family were tired of her pastries, and when they found one they liked, she would send it to Fu Garden every day.
"They should be finished eating by now. Auntie will make another batch tomorrow and have Shengyang come and pick it up."
Madam Ji was too enthusiastic, and An Xiaoyue was a little overwhelmed.
She glanced at the tightly closed bathroom door. Why hadn't Fu Shengyang come out yet?
"Auntie, you don't need to cook. I'm not in a good health condition to eat that much."
"Oh, you're sick? Are you alright?" Mrs. Ji was having a good time chatting and completely forgot what she had called Fu Shengyang to do.
"I'm not sick." An Xiaoyue bit her lip, her pleading gaze once again fixed on the closed bathroom door.
"Then what's wrong with you?"
An Xiaoyue knew that Ji Yubai's simple-minded way of doing things meant that Aunt Ji was a straightforward person and that she asked the question because she cared about Fu Shengyang's life.
Should she tell Aunt Ji that she is pregnant?
