With the shower running, Ling Tianya came out from the bathroom. She had already changed out of the qipao and put on her pajamas.
Ruan Zeyan propped himself up on the headrest of the bed. His eyes still lingered with desire. He looked at Ling Tianya forlornly and asked, “How is it?”
At the other’s still hopeful voice, Ling Tianya shook her head awkwardly.
Her period usually came on time. When she woke up that morning she had felt just a bit bloated. She knew that that was a sign that her period was on its way, but her period wasn’t due for another week. She didn’t expect for it to come that day.
Right then, Ling Tianya didn’t know whether she should feel pity for Ruan Zeyan or herself.
After the woman’s sharp answer, Ruan Zeyan’s face immediately fell. He stood up from the bed and went to the shower.
“What are you doing?” Ling Tianya asked.
“Showering.” By the time Ruan Zeyan answered, he had already opened the door to the bathroom and headed in.
Ling Tianya suddenly recalled when they had been in Ruan Zeyan’s office. She was playing with fire, and he did want her, but he ended up dousing that fire with cold water.
Ling Tianya rushed to shout through the door. “Don’t take a cold shower, it won’t be good if you get sick again!”
The sound of the shower running had already started, and Ling Tianya didn’t even know if he heard what she said.
Ling Tianya took a pair of men’s pajamas and placed them at the door of the bathroom. It had come when Ruan Zeyan had tasked Du Gang with bringing over the entire suitcase of men’s T-shirts. The last time Ruan Zeyan stayed at her house, she only had men’s T-shirts, and not a single pair of pants that men could wear. In the end, the man only wore a single T-shirt, showing off his long sexy legs.
When Ling Tianya saw the high end, true silk men’s pajamas hiding in the middle of all the men’s T-shirts, she was exasperated. It meant that he would still be staying at her place occasionally. Predictably, not too long later, the pajamas came to be used.
Ruan Zeyan took a really long shower, by the time he came out from the shower, the air around him was chilly. All he saw was Ling Tianya curled up on the bed, her face tinted with agony.
He frowned, throwing the towel in his hands aside to rush to her side. “What’s wrong?”
“My tummy hurts.” Ling Tianya’s face was pale, and small beads of sweat were clustering on her forehead.
Ruan Zeyan’s brows furrowed, his worries written all over his face. “I’ll bring you to the hospital.”
Ruan Zeyan moved to pick Ling Tianya up and take her away from the warm sheets.
“Put me down!” Ling Tianya screeched. When Ruan Zeyan went to the hospital for his fever, she remembered the look of the many doctors on standby with utmost seriousness. Ling Tianya still hasn’t forgotten it.
If Ruan Zeyan really brought her to the hospital and alerted everyone in it, just because of her period cramps, it would be the joke of the century…
No matter what, Ling Tianya refused to embarrass herself like that!
“Stomach pains can be serious, we should be wary of them.” Ruan Zeyan reasoned in worry.
“Put me down now, it’s just period cramps! Ruan Zeyan, don’t tell me that you don’t even know about period cramps! You’d embarrass us if you bring me to the hospital!”
Ruan Zeyan was silent, but his worries were still evident.
“Are you really okay?” Ruan Zeyan wasn’t relieved. If Ling Tianya showed more pain, he would definitely send her to the hospital immediately.
Seeing the seriousness in Ruan Zeyan’s eyes, Ling Tianya shook her head vehemently. “I’m alright, put me back under the covers. As long as I don’t get cold, I’ll be fine by tomorrow.”
