Chapter 35 Be Gentle



"What's wrong?"

Song Mai's face turned bright red. She didn't know what had happened last night. Her memory only went as she sat on the sofa waiting for Chu Xing to come back. She was very sleepy and then lost her memory.

Even if Chu Xing came back and put her on the bed, why was she in this state?

It can't be...

[Impossible, impossible...]

Song Mai tried desperately to recall, but couldn't remember anything.

She didn't believe Chu Xing would do anything wrong. In her mind, although they were a contractual couple, Chu Xing was a gentleman who had never done anything improper and had helped her many times.

Furthermore, she believed that with her looks and figure, Chu Xing would definitely not be interested in her.

The man at the door, having overheard her thoughts, was both amused and exasperated. Seeing that she didn't speak, he continued knocking: "What's wrong? May I come in?"

Song Mai spoke in a trembling voice, "It's okay, come...come in."

She quickly lay down and covered herself completely with the blanket, leaving only her head sticking out.

Chu Xing was somewhat relieved to see that her complexion had improved a lot.

He picked up the thermometer from the table and handed it to Song Mai.

"Let me take your temperature. Please take the day off and don't go to the office."

Song Mai had no recollection of what happened last night and took the thermometer somewhat blankly.

Chu Xing, seeing the woman's stunned expression, explained:

You had a fever last night.

Song Mai nodded, her slender body shifting slightly under the covers as she placed the thermometer away.

The man then turned to leave.

She bit her lip, her cheeks flushed, and timidly said, "Wait a minute."

"What's wrong?"

Chu Xing turned around, raised an eyebrow, and looked at her.

After hesitating for a while, Song Mai gritted her teeth and said, "My clothes..."

Chu Xing answered crisply and decisively: "I took them off."

"Wh-what?"

Song Mai stared wide-eyed in disbelief, as if her eyes were about to pop out.

At that moment, I felt utterly hopeless.

[Oh my god! How could this happen!]

[Just what I feared has happened!]

Song Mai's expression was almost breaking down; she looked broken and pitiful, as if she was about to shatter at any moment.

She gripped the corner of the blanket tightly, her sense of conviction crumbling little by little.

Chu Xing stood at the foot of the bed watching her, listening to her thoughts, and observing her little expressions. For some reason, he found it rather amusing.

At first, he thought she was bland and boring, but now he was starting to find something interesting in her.

The flavor seems to be getting stronger and stronger.

He cleared his throat, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes.

He suddenly felt like teasing her.

"We are husband and wife, so there's no need to worry about these things. I don't think you'll mind either."

Song Mai forced a smile that looked more like a grimace, her small body lying on her side, never daring to turn her head to meet the man's gaze.

Although she is not young, she has absolutely no romantic experience.

If she were properly married, she would feel it was only right for her husband to do these things for her, but her relationship with Chu Xing was, after all, a special one.

How can she face him again after something like this has happened?

"I……"

For a moment she didn't know how to answer, it seemed that saying she minded or not minded didn't quite fit the bill.

After hesitating for a moment, she finally asked as if she had made up her mind:

"So...did we...do that?"

Upon hearing this, her entire face turned bright red, and even Chu Xing, standing to her side, could see the woman's reddened ears.

But Chu Xing was determined to keep making trouble for her.

He looked like he didn't understand: "What??"

boom!

Song Mai felt as if a thunderbolt had struck her heart, leaving her feeling utterly stunned and disoriented.

"Seriously? Isn't he a man? We've gone this far, doesn't he understand?"

She took several deep breaths to keep herself from suffocating: "It's...it's those things that happen between husband and wife..."

The man chuckled softly, his expression revealing neither joy nor anger.

After a long pause, he finally spoke: "What are you thinking? You have a fever, do you think I'm the kind of person who would take advantage of someone in distress?"

Besides, did he look that thirsty?

Putting aside the fact that she has little sexual appeal, even if he really had feelings for her, he wouldn't have done it while she was feverish and unconscious.

This can't even be called taking advantage of someone's vulnerability; it's already illegal.

Upon hearing this, Song Mai breathed a sigh of relief.

"I just woke up and found that my clothes were not on me, so I started to overthink things. I'm sorry."

Chu Xing raised his hand to check the time. He had an important meeting to attend, and if he didn't leave soon, he would be too late.

He composed himself and explained, "Last night, after your fever broke, you kept saying you were hot and didn't want to be covered with a blanket. I was afraid you would catch a cold, so I wrapped you in the blanket and pulled your clothes off from under it. I didn't see anything."

Only after receiving a complete explanation from the man did Song Mai feel completely at ease.

"Did you buy me the medicine last night?"

"Jiang Jibai has been here before."

Song Mai nodded.

She vaguely remembered the name. After what happened last time, when she went to the hospital, although she was not very clear-headed, she vaguely heard Chu Xing call out the name of that doctor, and that doctor seemed to have this name.

"Thank you," she said sincerely.

Song Mai turned her head to meet the man's gaze. Although her face was still a little red, her eyes were clear and she was obviously in much better condition than before.
