Quick Wear: The Heirless Boss Wants to Get Close to Her Every Day

Chapter 739 The Old-fashioned and Reserved General vs. The Amnesiac Seducer (4)

Ning Shitang had no choice but to coax the clingy Miss Shen, saying, "Before you regain your memories, we can't get too close."

He looked at the person clinging to him and said, "Get up and go back to your room, or have a servant show you around."

Shen Shuyi forced herself to sit up straight. "Okay."

"Brother Shitang, I will definitely regain my memories soon! Then we'll have lots of children!"

Ning Shitang closed his eyes, automatically blocking out her voice.

He didn't know what kind of family this girl grew up in; all she did was give birth to children and call him "child" all day long!

Oh well, she's lost her memory. She'll know how embarrassing it is once she regains it.

"I'm still injured and need to rest, so don't come looking for me unless it's absolutely necessary."

"Okay, fine." Shen Shuyi left, thoughtfully closing the door behind her.

As she left, Shen Shuyi was still thinking about Ning Shitang's arm. When she hugged his arm just now, she could clearly feel the symmetrical and powerful muscle lines of the man's arm, like a lurking beast that could pin someone down and make them unable to move.

Ning Shitang and the others closed the door before he opened his eyes. He couldn't deny that the softness in his arms had disturbed his thoughts. His dark eyes flickered slightly before he closed them again.

In the evening, Shen Shuyi ate dinner alone, took a fragrant petal bath, and then went to find Ning Shitang with a lantern.

Ning Shitang was guarded by his personal guards and servants outside his door, and she was stopped as soon as she approached.

Shen Shuyi tilted her head in confusion, "Why are you stopping me? I want to go back to my room to rest."

The servant hesitated, "Miss Shen, this is the commander's private quarters. Please go back."

Shen Shuyi raised her small face, "I am the warlord's wife, so naturally I should go in and rest with the warlord!"

The servants exchanged glances, then remembered the steward's instructions to serve Miss Shen diligently and not to upset her.

But right now.
If they keep making a scene, they won't be able to handle the situation if it disturbs the commander's rest.

Just as they were hesitating, Shen Shuyi took a few steps around and pushed open the door to go inside.

The room was quiet. She turned off the lantern and, using the moonlight from the window, lifted Ning Shitang's blanket and crawled inside.

Ning Shitang was very vigilant and woke up the moment she pushed the door open. He remained still, wanting to see what this woman was up to.

Unexpectedly, she took off her shoes and crawled into his bed!
"Get down!" Ning Shitang said coldly.

Shen Shuyi seemed to be frightened by him and immediately sat up and huddled at the head of the bed.

Ning Shitang had someone come in and light the lamp. The servant lit the lamp, immediately closed the door, and waited outside.

After taking a bath, Shen Shuyi was wearing only a thin dress. She looked down at Ning Shitang timidly, her head bowed and her knees drawn up. Her tone was aggrieved, yet also accusatory.

"My husband, you frightened me."

Ning Shitang looked up and saw a large expanse of snow-white skin exposed in front of her, and even saw...
He quickly looked away, the veins on his forehead throbbing.

The man's voice was deep, "What are you doing here so late at night?"

Shen Shuyi looked up, looking aggrieved, "Brother Shitang, I'll come and sleep with you."

"We're husband and wife, of course husband and wife sleep in the same bed!"

She spoke with absolute certainty.

Ning Shitang said seriously, "But I'm injured now, so it's more convenient for us to sleep in separate beds."

Shen Shuyi raised her hand and swore an oath.

"I promise I won't move!"

Ning Shitang said in an unquestionable voice, "Go back."

Shen Shuyi seemed to be intimidated by his cold and stern face.

She muttered, "I'm not one of your soldiers, I won't listen to you."

Ning Shitang said firmly, "I can't get proper rest with you here, and if I don't get proper rest, my injuries will be harder to heal."

Shen Shuyi was puzzled, so she leaned closer and looked at him with her big, bright eyes, "Why can't you rest well when I'm here?"

She whispered in Ning Shitang's ear and saw his reddened ears, and suddenly realized what was going on.

"Oh, I know, it must be because you're restless and powerless with your wife in your arms!" Ning Shitang's breath hitched. He really wanted to knock some sense into this little girl's head and see what was inside.

They dare to say anything nonsense.

Thinking back to when we first met, she said she loved reading Huanzhu Louzhu's novels, which is why she would draw her sword to help those in need. She must have read too many novels!

"Miss Shen, you may leave."

Shen Shuyi looked at him with a resentful expression, "Fine, I'll go then!"

She slowly got out of bed and bent over to put on her shoes.

Ning Shitang then noticed that when the girl bent down to put on her shoes, the candlelight illuminated a section of her slender, white waist.

Then the person left.

Ning Shitang lay in bed, unable to fall asleep.

As he grew weary, he suddenly heard pacing footsteps and whispers outside.

Ning Shitang lifted the curtain, frowned, and asked, "What's going on?"

The night watchman quickly replied, "General, it's...it's Miss Shen again."

Ning Shitang pinched the bridge of her nose. "What's she doing here again?"

It's so late, doesn't she need to sleep?

"Miss Shen said she was afraid to be alone, but she didn't like having a maid with her."

"Miss Shen even cried."

Ning Shitang pursed his lips. "Let her in."

As autumn arrived, the evening breeze carried a slight chill. The girl wore only a thin dress, and the tip of her nose was red, whether from the cold or from crying, it was hard to tell.

Seeing her like this, Ning Shitang felt a strange sense of guilt.

It seems like I really am a heartless man.

Ning Shitang dismissed these inexplicable thoughts, and when he spoke again, his tone became noticeably heavier.

He was born with a cold and aloof demeanor, and his authoritative tone was intimidating.

"Why are you here again?"

Shen Shuyi stood in front of Ning Shitang's bed like a soldier who had made a mistake, and said in a low voice, "I didn't come in to disturb your rest."

"Didn't you disturb us? Then what's going on now?"

“Brother Shitang, you were the one who let me in.”

"What exactly do you want?" Ning Shitang didn't want to argue with her anymore; he just wanted to get a good night's sleep in peace.

Shen Shuyi said, "My room is haunted. Every time I close my eyes, all I see are scenes of war, and I feel like I'm being suffocated by something."

She compromised, "I'd like to sleep on a makeshift bed on the floor in your room. I promise I won't disturb you!"

Ning Shitang raised an arm to cover his eyes and compromised, saying, "Whatever, just don't climb into my bed again."

Shen Shuyi's sobbing stopped, and she immediately burst into laughter through her tears, "Thank you, sir~"

Shouting nonsense again!
Ning Shitang no longer had the strength to speak to her.

Shen Shuyi rummaged through the wardrobe and took out the bedding. She looked at the floor under the screen and then at the low couch by the window. She chose to spread the bedding on the small bed.

She fell asleep as soon as she lay down on the bed.

We should take it one step at a time. Being able to enter his room is already an improvement. Getting into his bed next time is just around the corner!
Ning Shitang soon heard steady breathing.

He opened his eyes and turned to the side, where he saw the girl sleeping soundly by the window.

I don't know whether to call her bold or timid.

A man and a woman alone together are not afraid of him.
Ning Shitang's face darkened when the phrase "willing but powerless" suddenly popped into his mind.
