Chapter 97 - 97 He’s back (1)
When Qin Zhiyou entered the door, he was carrying a bag of condoms he had bought that day. It wasn’t that he really wanted to use them immediately, but Lu Weixi had stayed in her bedroom all afternoon and evening, even having dinner delivered to her by their housekeeper. Qin Zhiyou had wanted to ease the tension, but every time he thought about her unconcerned laughter in the afternoon when she said, “I don’t mind”, his heart felt even more blocked.
He reluctantly worked in his study until ten o’clock and ordered the servants to prepare his bed. However, after taking a shower and lying in bed tossing and turning, he couldn’t stand it and finally sat up.
He had a wife, why did he have to suffer from pent-up frustration and sleep alone in his study?
With anger, he took the bag of condoms and returned to the bedroom, and as soon as he opened the door, he noticed that something was wrong.
It was already early summer, although the temperature wasn’t very high, it was still quite comfortable. But under these conditions, Lu Weixi had the air conditioner on. The warm air was blowing and she was still lying in bed, wriggling under the covers with a furrowed brow and a pained expression.
Lu Weixi heard the noise and her frown deepened. “Qin Zhiyou, I…ah…” she gasped.
Before she could finish her words, she closed her mouth, her face full of pain. Qin Zhiyou put down the bag and walked over to her, his long legs taking him across the room in quick strides. “What’s wrong?”
After turning on the light, he finally noticed that Lu Weixi was pale, tightly swathed in blankets and clearly very ill. When he touched her forehead, it was cold. His voice was heavy, “You’re sick.”
Tm not… it’s just… my period. It hurts,” Lu Weixi shook her head, her teeth gritted. Her periods were usually a bit uncomfortable, but never like this. Theoretically, her period shouldn’t have come yet. This time it was several days early and caught her off guard.
The emergency contraceptive pills she had taken before had not only disrupted her cycle but caused her painful cramps. It could also possibly because they had fought too much the night before, even going so far as to brawl in the bathroom, possibly catching a chill. It hadn’t felt like much at the time, but combined with her period, it hit her all at once.
Her abdomen felt as if it was being stabbed with a knife, writhing and Churning, causing dull pain. Like a blunt knife being dragged along, rusty and painful, so much so that she couldn’t even scream.
Seeing her pale and constantly tossing and turning in pain, Qin Zhiyou said immediately, “I’m going to call an ambulance.”
“No,” LU Weixi immediately fought back, refusing. Because going to the hospital over this, she would be embarrassed to face anyone. “Just bring me some warm water and some pain relief medication. I’ll be okay soon.”
Warm water was no problem, but how could she just randomly take “pain relief medicine”?
‘What does that matter? I’ve taken emergency pills several times already, don’t worry about this,” she said. It’s true that people who’ve never experienced such pain have no idea just how unbearable it can be. Lu Weixi, writhing in pain, wished that she could avoid becoming a woman in her next life. She gritted her teeth, speaking with a natural ease even in her pleading, “Zhiyou, hurry. Please.”
Qin Zhiyou paled, his lips pursed, but he immediately went downstairs. When he came back, he brought her a cup of warm water and a pain relief pill.
Lu Weixi took the water from him and swallowed the pill. After drinking the warm water, her pain slightly eased. She then waited silently for the painkillers to take effect.
It was then that she noticed the bag that Qin Zhiyou had left by the bed. There was a mocking smile on her weak face as she said, “Zhiyou, I’m afraid I won’t be able to satisfy you for these few days. Maybe you should…”
“I’m not that type of person you described,” Qin Zhiyou had already freshened up in the study. Now, he lifted the blankets, stretched out his hand and turned off the light. In the darkness of the room, he reached out his arm and enveloped her. He put his large hand on her abdomen and spoke in a dull voice, “If you are feeling uncomfortable, tell me at any moment and we’ll go to the hospital.”
Right now, Lu Weixi was very weak. Plus, the blood loss had made her feel somewhat dizzy. At this moment, Qin Zhiyou was like a giant furnace. His palm, especially, felt like a portable hot water bottle, providing her with infinite warmth as she faced a bitterly cold winter.
Even though she detested it, she continued to move closer, then closer again.
It seemed like Qin Zhiyou sensed her movement. He tightened his arms around her and gently kissed her on the forehead, telling her, “Don’t worry. Go to sleep.”
She nodded in his arms. Maybe it was the painkillers that were taking effect, or it was because he was by her side. Despite the chill and discomfort she should have felt, Lu Weixi had a very deep and stable sleep.
The next day.
When Qin Zhiyou woke up, the first thing he did was turn to look at her.
Lu Weixi was still sleeping, her brows were slightly knitted, but she appeared better than the previous day. At least her face was no longer pale, and although her hands and feet still felt a bit cold, her body seemed to be much more relaxed.
Just as he was about to lean in, Lu Weixi’s eyelashes fluttered and she woke up. He immediately closed his eyes.
When Lu Weixi was in the most pain last night, she truly wished she could stab a knife into her own abdomen. If she died, the pain should stop, right? She used to be a spoiled, pain-averse girl. A stubbed toe would require half a day of pampering-her parents cajoling her when she was at home, and later it was from Qin Zhigu.
Even though she knew it was Qin Zhiyou beside her last night, perhaps in her hazy state of mind, another man came to her fragmented thoughts. But the haziness was short and soon dissipated. She found it a bit humorous-she had never imagined that she would find warmth in Qin Zhiyou’s arms one day.
But in the biting cold, his embrace was the only source of warmth. Just like five years ago, it felt as if the whole world had forsaken her. Even though she knew Qin Zhiyou was a poisoned chalice, she wouldn’t have survived her unbearable thirst without him.
She opened her eyes and saw Qin Zhiyou right in front of her. He seemed to still be deep in sleep, lying quietly on his back, his evil aura dimmed, like a statue.
To be fair, among the three Qin brothers, Qin Zhiyou was the most handsome. His side profile had clear, sharp lines, as if carved by a knife. He had a great body, which was clearly the result of good exercise. Even without his wealth, his looks and body alone would be enough to attract the attention of a majority of women. If it weren’t for his wicked and fickle nature, perhaps she would’ve fallen for him at first sight.
However evil he might be, he was still her husband. He possibly could be the only man in her life. As much as she hated him, she had no choice but to move closer to him to absorb his warmth.
As soon as she made a slight movement, Qin Zhiyou “woke up”. His eyes blurred, as if he was not fully awake yet. He hugged her tighter and turned directly over towards her sleepily.
PS: I’m begging for votes and recommendations for this month.. Cheers!
