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

Chapter 742 The Old-fashioned and Reserved General vs. The Amnesiac Seducer (7)

As Shen Shuyi massaged his feet, she looked up at Ning Shitang. His features were well-defined, his profile was particularly striking, and he had a high nose. When he wasn't speaking, he had a cold and aloof demeanor.

As she looked at it, she yawned, her eyes filled with tears. Her feet warmed up, and she felt so comfortable that she quickly fell asleep.

Ning Shitang heard her yawn and looked up, only to see the girl fast asleep on his bed.

He looked down at the foot in his palm and quickly let go.

The man's ears suddenly turned red.

It was past midnight when Ning Shitang lowered the curtains and then had someone come in to extinguish the candles.

And so, Shen Shuyi slept soundly on Ning Shitang's bed until dawn, just as she had hoped.

The next day, when Shen Shuyi woke up, the man was nowhere to be seen. She quickly got up to wash up.

Ning Shitang was not seen at breakfast; the servants said he was working in his study.

Shen Shuyi didn't disturb him, but went to the kitchen instead.

In the study, Butler Wu led a man in military uniform into the room quickly.

The man in military uniform choked up when he saw Ning Shitang, "General, it's so good that you're alright!"

This man is named Li Yi, and he is Ning Shitang's deputy general.

Ning Shitang asked him to sit down and then asked, "What's the situation in Ningzhou City?"

Has the investigation into the explosion been completed?

Li Yi hurriedly replied, "The Commander has been sending people to search for you, they want to see you alive or dead."

"The person who betrayed you at Huishan Wharf was that scoundrel Fan Jian. He refused to reveal the mastermind even on his deathbed, saying that the other party had kidnapped more than a dozen members of his family, and he had no choice but to betray you."

Ning Shitang remained unfazed by the question, simply closing the book. "Has Ning Shicong made any moves lately?"

Ning Shicong was his half-brother, born to his second wife, Concubine Lin. He was eloquent and was his father's most beloved son.

"The Second Young Master is still in Qingzhou, but I heard that the Commander has already sent people to bring him back."

"Okay, you go and rest first, but stay here and take on the guard duties."

"Yes!" Li Yi was overjoyed. The commander-in-chief trusted him and that's why he kept him by his side!

Ning Shitang let Butler Wu in to speak, "Is there any progress on the matter I asked you to investigate last time?"

Butler Wu presented a document, "General, Miss Shen's identity has been verified. This is all her information."

Ning Shitang placed the document on the table, opened it, and glanced at it.

A native of Haicheng, his family is in business. His mother died early, and his father remarried. He has a stepsister.

There was also a childhood betrothal, in which the mother used her dowry to support her fiancé, Hu Cheng, to study abroad.

As a result, Hu Cheng fell in love with his stepsister, who had gone abroad to study with him.

The day her fiancé returned to China, she and her fiancé were bombed at Huishan Wharf, and she was stranded in a small fishing village, losing her memory.

Butler Wu added, "Our people here have also learned that Miss Shen's fiancé, Hu Cheng, is now engaged to Miss Shen's stepsister, Fan Meizhen. The entire Shen family thought that Miss Shen had perished at sea."

"General, shall we tell Miss Shen about her background now?"

Ning Shitang didn't answer, but asked instead, "Where is she now?"

"Oh, Miss Shen woke up early this morning, ate breakfast, and went to the kitchen. The servants said she was cooking."

"Don't tell her about your background yet."

"Yes, I understand."

After Butler Wu left, Ning Shitang picked up Shen Shuyi's file again and read it carefully.

Seeing the photos of her when she was in a girls' school, she was wearing a blue school uniform, with jet-black hair, a bright and fair face, and a pure and beautiful appearance.

It turns out she wasn't married yet.

Her memory is truly bizarrely confused.

Even Ning Shitang himself didn't realize that the corners of his lips were slightly curved upwards.

Shen Shuyi was simmering chicken soup in the kitchen. She had even specially exchanged some spiritual spring water from the system shop and poured it in. Drinking this chicken soup would be extremely beneficial for the recovery of her wounds.

At the same time, she also learned from the system that Ning Shitang knew about her identity.

[Dear host, what should we do? Will Ning Shitang send someone to take you away?]
Shen Shuyi skimmed the oil foam off the chicken soup with a spoon. "Don't be afraid." Since Ning Shitang knew her situation in the Shen family, if he had any conscience, he wouldn't send someone who had lost their memory into a wolf's den.

At lunchtime, Ning Shitang finally met Shen Shuyi.

Since learning her identity, Ning Shitang has had a subtle feeling in his heart.

I can't quite put my finger on it.

She walked gracefully in a cheongsam, and the servants quickly put down the food and left. They all knew that this warlord disliked being served closely.

Looking at the table full of food, Shen Shuyi walked up to Ning Shitang, eager to show off, and raised her eyebrows, saying, "Husband~ guess which dish I made?"

"Don't shout." Ning Shitang felt an increasingly strange feeling growing stronger now that she saw him as her husband.

Shen Shuyi simply sat on his lap. "Fine, there are no outsiders here. Is it wrong for me to call my lover?"

"Shen Shuyi, sit down!" Ning Shitang blurted out.

Shen Shuyi was stunned, and her eyes reddened in the blink of an eye. "You never used to call me by my full name. You even said that calling me Miss Shen was a nice thing to do. Now, sob sob, you don't love me anymore."

Ning Shitang wanted to push her up, but seeing that she was crying, he took a deep breath, raised his chin, and nodded at the delicious dishes on the table.

"This chicken soup smells so good, did you make it?"

Shen Shuyi's eyes lit up. "Hmph, you're smart enough to know what's good for you. I've been simmering this chicken soup since this morning, watching the heat all morning."

"My hands are burned!"

"Take a look." Ning Shitang put his arms around her and pulled her small hand up to examine it closely.

I found that there were indeed red marks on the back of my left hand.

"Please sit down first, I'll have someone bring over some burn ointment."

Shen Shuyi didn't care, "Yeah, it doesn't hurt anymore after taking a cold shower, no need to apply medicine."

"The ointment smells bad."

"I'll have the doctor prescribe you an odor-free ointment."

"We'll talk about it later, let's eat first." Shen Shuyi had already applied the burn ointment produced by the system, and besides, it wasn't serious at all. She was just saying it to Ning Shitang on purpose.

Ning Shitang was a man of his word, and he sent someone to prepare the medicine.

Shen Shuyi got off his lap and personally served him a bowl of fragrant chicken soup.

"Here you go, Brother Shitang!"

Seeing her sincere expression, Ning Shitang's heart softened. "Next time, let the kitchen staff make whatever you want to eat. Don't cook anymore."

He finished the whole bowl of chicken soup and immediately felt full of energy.

Shen Shuyi noticed that when he spoke, his eyes and brows softened, no longer as cold as before.

It seems this trick of washing hands before cooking does have some effect.

How's the soup?

Ning Shitang met her expectant gaze and said, "It's delicious."

Shen Shuyi smiled and picked up her chopsticks to eat. "Of course! I studied the recipes for a long time!"

"I'll make you other soups next time, and I'll also make you some Western desserts this afternoon!"

Seeing that Ning Shitang remained silent, Shen Shuyi looked up and asked, "Brother Shitang, do you not like what I made?"

"No."

Oh well, let her do whatever she wants. There's nothing else to do in this village anyway.

After lunch, Shen Shuyi pushed the man in the wheelchair for a walk in the yard.

She noticed that there were many more well-trained soldiers around her and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Husband, who are they?"

Shen Shuyi's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, but the sharp-eyed soldiers heard it immediately, especially the deputy general Li Yi, who was in the lead. Everyone turned to look at Ning Shitang.

When did their warlord get married?!
