Shameless and without any attempt to conceal it, she brazenly and directly asked the doctor if her body could withstand the touch of rain that night.
Shu Yao wanted to dig a hole and disappear. Was he really that impatient? Helpless, she could only turn her face away, not wanting to meet his burning gaze. She was even thinking about whether to eat something that clashed with his constitution, something that would make her bedridden again! Sigh… or maybe an assassin would just jump out and kill him. In her heart, she cried out… Qi, where are you?
But she could only imagine that there were four maids watching over her meticulously, that everything she ate was strictly inspected, and that the kitchen would never prepare incompatible dishes.
As for the contract... sigh! Let's not talk about it!
Since there's no escaping it, she can only accept her fate. Anyway, he's taken her more than once, and at least this time, he won't cut her in half after taking her. Besides, he's been taking very good care of her these past few days. When the time comes, she can just close her eyes, ignore everything, and lie on the bed like a corpse.
But just as she was about to give up resisting and wait to be stripped naked and thoroughly ravaged by someone that night, perhaps heaven finally decided to favor her and give her a chance to have her wish fulfilled.
So... she got her period.
You Shuyao had never felt so happy, especially when she saw Huo Jingsha's face, which was even blacker than the charcoal in the furnace, when he found out about this. She almost burst out laughing. Oh dear... it was rare to see him so embarrassed.
"It's so uncomfortable. When my period comes, I feel unwell all over. I can't use my limbs, my stomach hurts, I feel nauseous, and I feel terrible. Waaah..." She was crying and sniffling. She had mastered this tactic of showing weakness to gain sympathy to a high degree. She didn't need to pretend at all to make herself look pitiful.
She had just recovered from her injury when her period started, which made her once rosy complexion pale and haggard. She cried out in pain while comfortably reclining on the couch, and at first glance, she really looked extremely weak and uncomfortable.
Actually, the thought of suddenly having six or seven days of leisure made me so happy! Seeing Huo Jingsha in a bad mood made her feel better too.
The man sitting next to her stared intently at her. This woman… though her face looked pitiful and aggrieved, and her tone carried a hint of regret, don't think he couldn't see it—her eyes were hiding a smile. This brat, how dare she tease him! Her gloating couldn't be more obvious!
She's getting bolder and bolder. Hmph! I don't believe she can stay smug forever. Can she hide forever? She'll have her day.
Although Huo Jingsha really wanted to punish her, he knew that menstruation was never a comfortable thing for a woman, and her pale face couldn't lie; her discomfort was genuine. So he couldn't bear to make things difficult for her at this time and could only give in and let her rest more.
Anyway, it doesn't matter if we wait another day or two, let her be! Although she doesn't say it, ever since he brought her back to the manor to recuperate, he has felt that she is always preoccupied. The secret guards and four maids report to him most often that... Aunt Yao likes to sit alone in a daze, and her face is often full of worry. It seems that being kidnapped this time has had a great impact on her mind and she must have been quite frightened.
Although he tried his best to comfort her and stayed by her side every night, he could never erase the faint sorrow between her brows.
It was rare for her to be in the mood to tease him today. As long as she was in a good mood, he didn't mind letting her have her fun.
Huo Jingsha pretended to be annoyed and stood up. She seriously instructed Chunlu and the others to take good care of her and to go to the kitchen to prepare more food to nourish her blood and qi before leaving with a stern face.
He strode out of the house, and just as he was about to step out of the courtyard gate... he stopped, looked back into the house, and then a smile appeared on his thin lips.
In fact, Yao'er's sexiness is still quite innocent, unlike the women he had met before who only knew how to apply makeup and fawn over men. Most of her clothes were simple in style and plain in color, without any extravagant air of being spoiled. Moreover, her joys and sorrows were always clear at a glance, without having to guess them, which he especially liked. He also found it particularly easy and pleasant to be with her, so he couldn't help but indulge her a little more, not wanting to see her sad or in tears.
Huo Jingsha, are you really in love? He couldn't help but ask himself, then shook his head and chuckled before turning and striding away.
You Shuyao originally thought that using her period as an excuse would give her a few days of peace and quiet. Besides, wouldn't a military general like Huo Jingsha consider women on their period unlucky? So he probably wouldn't stay overnight in her room. But she found that she was too optimistic. Whenever she presumptuously assumed something, things rarely went as she expected.
Unexpectedly, Huo Jingsha still came every day without fail, lying next to her every night. Except for not being able to touch her there, he still touched and kissed her wherever he wanted, without any taboo or disgust.
"Don't..." Shu Yao pushed away the head buried in her chest. Actually, she herself was a little disgusted with herself!
"Yao'er, go to sleep when you're tired. I won't disturb you. I just haven't seen you all day and want to be close to you. That's all."
As he said this, he gently moved one hand to her abdomen and rubbed it back and forth, saying that this would relieve the abdominal pain caused by her menstruation.
You Shuyao stared at him speechlessly. This was what he called doing nothing? She'd be better off believing a sow could fly than believing him. If he wasn't going to do anything to her, why was he so eager to put her on his lap as soon as he got back? Even when he went to the study to handle official business, he carried her along.
This greatly displeased her. She was lying comfortably in her room, being served by four maids in turn, bringing her tea and water, as well as delicious pastries and dried fruit—she couldn't be more comfortable. He insisted on carrying her to read official documents and write memorials with him. Wasn't carrying her in the way? He could have just gone about his business.
"I heard from Dongxue that you have a stomachache, so I asked someone to find Doctor Xu from the palace to prescribe some medicine for you. Drink it in a bit, and you'll feel much better."
Actually, I don't need to take medicine. I would be more comfortable if I could go back to my room and lie in bed.
Shu Yao really wanted to say that, but when she met his concerned and warm gaze, his caring tone, and the tenderness and worry in his eyes, she somehow managed to keep all her words stuck in her throat.
The reason he insisted on bringing her to the study was because he was worried about her and wanted to take care of her under his watchful eye. As soon as he returned, he went into her room. The maid said that she had been lying in bed all day because of stomach pain and hadn't eaten much for lunch. So he immediately changed his mind. He decided not to go to the Commandery to handle matters that evening, but to stay at the mansion with her. He moved his errands to the study to finish them, and he could also warm her lower abdomen with his warm hands.
This thoughtfulness and meticulous care were completely different from his usual ruthless demeanor. He seemed to be genuinely treating her with sincerity. Although he didn't say anything sweet, he expressed it all through his actions.
