Oh, no need to look, her mouth must be swollen!
Rong Yan had just evened out her breathing when she struggled against his wrist and said, “Li Shengxiao, let me go first, your temperature is not right, let me check your pulse to see if you’re running a fever.”
She had learned traditional Chinese medicine, so taking a pulse was no big issue.
She could still make a simple diagnosis for a cold or fever.
To prevent herself from being interrupted before she finished speaking, Rong Yan rushed out in one breath, “Are you running a fever? The palm of your hand is very hot.”
“Let me go, I’ll check on you. If you have a fever, there should be some fever medicine at home, you should take one.”
Unable to free herself, she could only voice her concerns. But the worried expression was genuinely there.
Li Shengxiao looked at the worried face of the little woman beneath him, and his heart tightened in spurts, the sharp pain from earlier hitting him again.
His thin lips pressed into a straight line, his voice hoarse, he asked, “Are you worried about me?”
So, she was worried about him?
Rong Yan paused, then reacted, “What do you think? Your palm is so hot, how could I not be worried?”
She struggled again, urging him, “Li Shengxiao, let me go first, I need to check on you.”
The man firmly pinning her down on the bed showed no intention of letting go, still trapping her between his chest and his thin lips with a touch, “Since you’re worried about me, why do you still want to divorce me?”
If she’s worried about him, why would she want a divorce, why think of running away!
He couldn’t understand!
Rong Yan blinked, finally realizing he was angry about earlier, and looking into those burning eyes, she began to explain, “I didn’t want to divorce you. It was you who asked me what I would do if, in the end, we found we were not a match.”
“So what do you plan to do?” Li Shengxiao’s chest heaved violently, unwilling to let go of any of her reactions.
Rong Yan had just noticed he was gone and thought a lot about it. Now that he asked, she honestly said, “What can I do? If we’re not a match in the end, I can only take Duidui and leave.”
The word “leave” pierced the man’s heart like a dagger!
That indescribable emotion hit him as if out of control, his handsome face suddenly turned a shade paler, and his thin lips pressed into a single straight line!
The hand gripping Rong Yan’s wrist also unconsciously tightened!
Rong Yan’s wrist throbbed with pain, but she held back the urge to grunt and continued, “What else can I do, if, like you said, in the end, we are not a match. Surely it won’t just be me who feels that way; you will also think I am not the right person for you. By then, even if I don’t want to leave, there is nothing I can do. You know the disparity in our statuses. Clinging to you will be useless, and in the end, it will only bring me shame. Rather than that, even though I would hate to leave, I might still do it quietly.”
Her point was not that she would leave if she felt it wasn’t right, but that the one who felt it wasn’t right would be him.
“Even if I had no dignity and clung to you, you’re either at the company or at your private villa every day, with security outside. I can’t possibly squat on the street waiting for you…”
Rong Yan’s voice was sweet, comforting to hear, slowly spoken, and oddly evocative, as if one could see her squatting outside Li Group, waiting every day.
Damn it! For a moment, Li Shengxiao felt a towering rage, but now, that rage turned into an impulse to silence her little mouth.
