An Ruo was at a loss for words after hearing his words and didn’t know how to react.
After all, he was domineering, selfish, and unreasonable.
"I can’t be bothered to talk to you anymore." She withdrew her hand, turned her back to him, and lay down, ceasing to speak.
Tang Yuchen just watched her helplessly, silently waiting for the IV drip to finish sooner.
Finally, after the IV had finished, the sky had completely darkened, and the lights of thousands of homes could already be seen outside.
The nurse removed the needle from An Ruo, while Tang Yuchen held a cotton swab against the puncture on her wrist to stop the bleeding.
"Feeling any better? Does your stomach still hurt?" he asked with concern.
"It’s nothing. I’m fine now," An Ruo took the cotton swab from his hand, pressed it a couple of times, and tossed it into the trash bin.
She lifted the blanket intending to get out of bed. The man conveniently knelt on the ground, holding one of her ankles and slipping her shoes on.
His hot hands around her foot made her feel very uncomfortable, almost as if the spot he touched was being scorched by fire.
"I can do it myself." She kicked her legs, but he didn’t let go and firmly put the shoes on her.
Tang Yuchen’s actions were natural, showing no affectation.
That he would stoop to put shoes on for her was something that An Ruo could only describe as complex.

Walking through the hospital, An Ruo really wanted to check on Yun Feiyang’s injuries, but the man beside her clearly wouldn’t agree. The thought only rolled around in her mind before she finally dismissed it.
As they got into the car, Tang Yuchen didn’t immediately take her home but took her to a vegetarian restaurant instead.
He secured a private room and ordered some of her favorite vegetables along with a bowl of porridge for her.
"The vegetarian dishes here are really unique, and the porridge is good as well. Eat a little to settle your stomach, then once we get home, I’ll have someone make you more food," he said with a smile.
An Ruo responded blandly, her attitude cold compared to his warmth, but he didn’t seem to mind.
The dishes were served quickly, and he was right—the vegetarian dishes and porridge were indeed delicious. Even though An Ruo initially lacked an appetite, she couldn’t resist eating a bowl of porridge and quite a lot of vegetables.
After eating, Tang Yuchen drove her home.
With so many events occurring today, An Ruo felt exhausted. Once in bed, she closed her eyes and quickly fell asleep.
However, her sleep was restless; her stomach occasionally troubled her, tormenting her.
She didn’t know how long she had slept when, in a daze, she felt a pair of warm hands soothing her abdomen. Heat continuously transferred from his hands, comforting her a bit.
The person behind her clung tightly to her back, and as she leaned into his embrace, she didn’t wake up but merely shifted her body to find a more comfortable position and fell back into a deep sleep.
She slept soundly until dawn.
After yesterday’s treatment, An Ruo’s stomach no longer hurt.
Tang Yuchen had gotten up early and left the bedroom. After she washed up and went downstairs for breakfast, she suddenly heard him calling her from upstairs, asking her to come to the study as he had something to ask her.
An Ruo was puzzled. She went upstairs and entered his study. Tang Yuchen pointed to the sofa, "Let’s sit and talk."
"What do you want to talk about?" she sat down on the sofa, and he also took a seat opposite her.
