Si Zhengting nodded and made a call to the family doctor on his handphone. He looked around in the black plastic bag and found a box of pills. After reading its labeled instructions, he handed it to her. “Take this.”
“Can I…” She could not complete her sentence after she caught sight of Si Zhengting’s expressionless face and dark eyes.
This man looked so scary.
She popped the pills into her mouth, washed them down with a gulp of water, and lied down obediently.
Si Zhengting’s phone rang again. As the CEO of the Imperial Group, he was always busy, even during the weekends.
Si Zhengting paced towards the balcony to answer the phone. Zhuang Nainai jumped up from the bed in a flash and prepared to spit the pills out from her mouth into the rubbish bin.
They were so bitter!
She was halfway to the bin when she felt an icy side glare from behind her. In a cool voice, he asked, “What are you doing?”
Zhuang Nainai turned and saw Si Zhengting standing there with his phone.
His back was against the light so she could not see his face, which made her inexplicably nervous.
“Hold on.” Si Zhengting spoke into the phone and walked over, handing her the cup of water on the bedside table.
Zhuang Nainai had no choice but to accept the water and force down the pills in her mouth.
Si Zhengting kept his eyes on her.
Zhuang Nainai opened her mouth for proof. “I really swallowed it!”
Si Zhengting was finally satisfied and instinctively reached out to pat her head. This intimate gesture made the both of them freeze again.
Since the improvement of their relationship, the frequency of such little gestures had increased too.
Zhuang Nainai blushed slightly and Si Zhengting’s ears grew hot, but he walked calmly back to the balcony with his phone.
His lips were once again tugged upwards when he turned.
Her dislike for medicine had not changed over all these years.
When Si Zhengting was back on the balcony, Zhuang Nainai felt like she was really falling sick and was weak all over, as if she had ingested poison.
Oh no.
Zhuang Nainai tossed and turned, feeling unwell in every part of her body, as if she had some kind of terminal illness.
Unable to fall asleep in bed, she took out her phone and searched on Google, “What happens if one without flu takes flu medicine?”
She was about to hit search when she heard the sound of approaching footsteps. She then hurriedly hid the phone under her pillow.
Si Zhengting started working in the bedroom, typing away on his laptop in the couch.
The room fell silent.
Zhuang Nainai was breaking down in this kind of silence.
Her head started pounding, and she felt like she was suffocating.
There was a churning sensation in her stomach, and nausea washed over her.
Gosh, did Si Zhengting see through her lie and fed her poison?
Zhuang Nainai could take it no more. She quietly took out her phone and continued her search.
It’s no big deal!
She breathed a sigh of relief and fell asleep amidst her worries and discomfort.
What a torturous weekend.
Her whole body felt like jelly from lying in bed for two full days.
Fortunately, Si Zhengting had stopped forcing medicine down her throat after she said that her headache was gone. It was finally Monday and she could go back to work!
