Does it really have such a magical effect?

Ye Chen hurriedly grabbed a bath towel and clean pajamas to take a hot shower.

After finishing his shower.

He felt refreshed and invigorated.

Ye Chen couldn't help but carefully examine himself in the mirror.

He wanted to see how he looked now compared to before.

Good heavens!

His skin had become much more refined.

It was rosy and glowing, looking incredibly healthy at a glance.

The few faint acne scars he once had were completely gone.

His eyes were more piercing than ever.

He felt even more handsome than before.

Probably about as handsome as the readers present here.

The scar on his left temple seemed to have faded a little, though it was still there.

Ye Chen touched the scar on his left temple.

He couldn't help but recall that petite little girl back then, wearing a No. 1 Middle School uniform, covered from head to toe in black ink, her features indistinguishable.

He wondered how she was doing now.

Was she still being bullied by others?

At the time, Ye Chen was still in middle school. As he passed the entrance of a small alley, he saw two schoolgirls and five hoodlums—who looked like thugs and were armed with sticks, bricks, and knives—bullying a tiny girl covered in ink.

Ye Chen hated school bullying more than anything.

And to have so many people ganging up on one little girl was just despicable!

(╬◣д◢)

Seeing an injustice, Ye Chen decisively called the police.

Watching one of the boys, who was spewing profanities and laughing, raise a wooden club high to smash it down onto the girl's head.

If that club landed, the frail girl would surely be left bleeding and her life would be in danger.

There was no time to wait for the police.

Ye Chen grabbed his long, pointed umbrella and charged forward.

Gripping the umbrella, Ye Chen thrust it straight into the rear end of the thug who was holding the club.

The thug dropped the club in agony, clutching his backside and howling in pain.

With the first strike successful.

Ye Chen's morale soared. His hands were trembling as he gripped the umbrella tightly; though he was terrified, he still shielded the little girl behind him.

The other hoodlums, seeing their leader had been ambushed, brandished their weapons and swarmed him.

Ye Chen had sharp eyes and a nimble body. He used the umbrella to poke at their pressure points, successfully taking down two more thugs.

However, the opposition was numerous, and Ye Chen was careless, getting struck in the forehead by a brick.

Amidst the girl's terrified screams, Ye Chen was knocked unconscious.

The scar on his left temple was left behind from that moment.

When Ye Chen woke up in the hospital, someone had already paid his medical bills.

They had also notified his parents and left behind one hundred thousand yuan as a reward.

Back then, one hundred thousand yuan was enough to buy a small apartment in the town where Ye Chen lived.

Ye Chen's family had originally wanted to return the money to the girl.

He hadn't saved her for the sake of money.

To this day, Ye Chen still didn't know who that little girl was.

He had never encountered her again afterward.

Naturally, he didn't know how that little girl had fared later on.

He also didn't know where the name tag he wore on his chest had gone.

He never had the chance to return the money to her.

However, that untouched one hundred thousand yuan ended up becoming the life-saving money for Ye Dashan when he got into his car accident.

The gurgling sound of water.

Pulled Ye Chen back from his memories.

Ye Chen hurriedly put on his clean pajamas and headed toward the kitchen.

The medicinal liquid had finished brewing.

He mixed in some cool boiled water.

After checking that the temperature was just right, he felt satisfied.

Ye Chen carried a large bucket of the herbal concoction toward the master bedroom's bathroom.

"The water is ready. Shall I help you wash? That way, you won't pull at your stitches."

Ye Chen said to Su Ningwei.

"Mm." Su Ningwei nodded, her face flushed with shyness.

Thinking about how the two of them were about to begin their intimate and sweet life of cohabitation, she felt her face burning even more intensely.

Her little heart was thumping wildly.

It was deafening.

The bathroom was filled with the fresh fragrance of herbs.

Ye Chen helped remove Su Ningwei's clothes.

Su Ningwei shyly hugged her chest with one hand while covering her abdomen with the other.

"You're beautiful." Ye Chen praised her sincerely.

Although Su Ningwei's figure had not yet fully recovered, it did not affect her beauty in the slightest.

In Ye Chen's eyes and heart, Su Ningwei was the most beautiful existence.

"No, I'm not. I've gained so much weight since before the pregnancy; I'm so ugly now." Su Ningwei said coyly.

Ye Chen scooped up a ladle of warm water and poured it gently over Su Ningwei's shoulders.

Her skin felt white, tender, and smooth to the touch.

While helping her wash, he gently massaged her to help her relax.

Su Ningwei let out a soft, comfortable hum.

"You aren't ugly at all. You make my heart race; my body and my mouth are both very honest." Ye Chen laughed.

Su Ningwei cast a shy glance at Ye Chen, her face burning like fire.

Why did Ye Chen seem even more handsome, and even more... grown up?

Oh dear... she was still in her postpartum recovery period.

What on earth was she letting her mind wander to?

In a state of flustered agitation, the two of them finished the medicinal bath.

[Ding, congratulations on completing the hidden task: Bathe your wife for the first time.]

[Obtained the Golden Throat Singing God skill.]

Suddenly, a wealth of singing techniques flooded into Ye Chen's mind.

A great voice combined with technique, plus pouring in genuine emotion...

Wasn't becoming the next King of Singers a sure thing?

Ye Chen thought about how he could shine brightly on a grand stage in the future.

The future was simply too promising to imagine...

Back in the bedroom, Su Ningwei felt completely refreshed.

Because her wounds hadn't healed, Su Ningwei hadn't been able to take a proper bath at the hospital.

For the first time, Su Ningwei felt that bathing could be such a comfortable and satisfying experience.

In particular, the feeling of Ye Chen massaging her was exceptionally pleasant.

It made her look forward to the next time Ye Chen would help her bathe.

Ye Chen fetched a pair of long-sleeved, long-legged pajamas and helped Su Ningwei put them on.

"Let me apply the medicine for you," Ye Chen said.

Su Ningwei said somewhat nervously, "How about I do it myself?"

After all, Su Ningwei wanted to present her best side to Ye Chen and didn't want him to see her unsightly belly.

Ye Chen took out the ointment and said with a sincere expression, "Let me do it. Give me, the one who caused this, a chance. I want to personally help you become as beautiful as you were before."

"Mm, alright then."

After thinking it over, Su Ningwei decided to listen to Ye Chen and obediently lay down on the bed.

Ye Chen lifted the hem of Su Ningwei's shirt.

He lowered his head.

He pressed a devout kiss onto Su Ningwei's not-so-perfect belly.

It was a gentle, fleeting touch.

Su Ningwei gripped the quilt in nervous anticipation.

That warm kiss felt terrifyingly hot.

It was so hot that it made Su Ningwei's heart burn with fervor.

To have met Ye Chen in this lifetime, and to have married a man like him, was truly worth it.

For the rest of her days.

She would love Ye Chen deeply, until the end of time.

Ye Chen scooped out the ointment, carefully applying it to every stretch mark and the C-section scar.

He was terrified of missing even the smallest spot.

These were marks left behind solely for his sake.

Therefore, it would be up to him to smooth them away for her.

Wherever the ointment touched, it was quickly absorbed.

Hmm, there were no visible changes for the moment.

"Is it working?" Su Ningwei asked, feeling a bit impatient.

Su Ningwei only felt a warmth in her abdomen, accompanied by a slight itch, but nothing else uncomfortable.

Could it really have such magical effects?

Su Ningwei began to feel expectant as well.

After all, what woman didn't want to remain beautiful forever?

Ye Chen put away the ointment and said gently, "Not yet, it shouldn't be that fast. Just rest easy and go to sleep."

Ye Chen still had great confidence in the items produced by the system.

Su Ningwei reached out and took the initiative to hold Ye Chen's hand.

"Well, this bed is so big and soft, let's sleep together tonight," Su Ningwei said, her face flushing slightly.

"That's a must."

Ye Chen smiled, took off his shirt, and slipped under the covers.

He held the fragrant, soft Su Ningwei, who smelled faintly of milk, from behind.

He felt exceptionally happy and content.

Su Ningwei shifted, turned around, and embraced him face-to-face.

Her mischievous little hand.

She traced small circles over the spot on Ye Chen's solid chest where his heart lay, as if casting some alluring spell.
