When did everything start to change?
It was when she kept her emotions in check day and night for a certain period.
It was when she and he accidentally got involved after getting drunk...
From that moment, her heart became chaotic, and she could no longer stay calm. She unconsciously wanted more and complained more.
If he didn’t meet her expectations, she would get frustrated and dissatisfied...
Pei Yuanze also started to resent her from that time, didn’t he?
In fact, he had always been the same; it was she who had changed.
It was she who had been disturbing his peaceful life, which truly needed no disturbance from anyone.
It was her, who from the beginning, had made a mistake... Her love, selfishly destroyed him, and also destroyed herself.
If he loved her, her demands would have been justified. But clearly, she knew from the start that he didn’t love her...
So his thinking was right; it was indeed time to end this wrong relationship.
She didn’t want to turn each other into bitter companions. At least now, she still held many fond feelings for him.
So, before she grew to completely dislike him, it was better to stop everything.
At least the memories would still be good, not unbearable to look back on...
Xia Pu was lost in these thoughts and fell into a confused sleep.
Chen Ma brought up a bowl of porridge and, finding her asleep, didn’t disturb her.
Chen Ma went directly to the study to report to Pei Yuanze: "Young Master, the Miss is asleep. I’ve kept the porridge warm, so if she wants to eat, you can call me anytime."
Pei Yuanze nodded: "Understood."
After Chen Ma left, Pei Yuanze returned to his work.
Not knowing how long he had worked, he realized it was already past midnight...
Suddenly thinking that Xia Pu hadn’t eaten dinner, Pei Yuanze got up to check on her.
Gently pushing open the bedroom door, Pei Yuanze saw her still sleeping. Only a bedside lamp was on, casting a dim light.
But Pei Yuanze had good eyesight, and he noticed something was amiss with her face.
She seemed uncomfortable and was sleeping restlessly...
Pei Yuanze stepped forward and felt her forehead, finding it somewhat hot.
"Xia Pu, Xia Pu..." Pei Yuanze called her softly. Xia Pu opened her eyes in confusion, seeing him, she asked with some doubt, "Is there something wrong...?"
"You seem to be sick. Get up and put on your clothes. I’ll take you to the hospital."
Xia Pu shook her head, "No need, my medicine..."
Xia Pu looked around, then toward her purse, "Inside, there’s medicine."
Pei Yuanze looked through the purse with doubt and indeed found a bottle of medicine, but there was nothing written on the bottle, and he had no idea what it was.
"Give it to me..." Xia Pu propped herself up and reached out to him.
Pei Yuanze asked with uncertainty, "What is this medicine? Can you just take it like that?"
"Pregnant women generally have higher body temperatures. If I feel uncomfortable, taking this will help," Xia Pu said calmly.
Only then did Pei Yuanze partially believe her. He helped her open the bottle, "How many pills?"
After feeding Xia Pu the medicine, Pei Yuanze was still worried, "Are you sure you don’t want to go to the hospital?"
"I’m fine. You go rest. I’ll be okay in a while."
But seeing her , how could Pei Yuanze be at ease enough to rest? He asked her, "Do you want something to eat, Chen Ma made food for you?"
"I’m not hungry. I just want to rest." Xia Pu lay down, though she was no longer sleepy.
Pei Yuanze simply pulled up a chair and sat down, telling her, "I’ll leave after your fever goes down."
