In the end, feeling pity for Lin Anning, Huo Shen only made love to her once that night.
But that one time was long enough, and when it was over, Lin Anning couldn't even lift her fingers.
She let Huo Shen wipe her body, change his clothes, and change the sheets, never opening her eyes once as she lay in bed.
Huo Shen looked at his tender and soft wife, and although his desire flared up, he didn't go to such beastly lengths in the end.
He gently covered Lin Anning with a thin quilt, then went out to the yard to fetch two buckets of cold water to bathe, and also washed the clothes and sheets he just changed out of.
The next day, Lin Anning slept until noon before she got up, and Huo Shen had already prepared lunch.
As usual, he served her in bed until she finished eating, but this time Lin Anning was smarter.
After eating and dressing, she got out of bed and refused to stay in the room with Huo Shen any longer.
