Chapter 118 Okay, sister
Not long after Ruan Yi sent the message, her mother called immediately.
When she hesitated to answer, Ruan Ying's tone on the other end of the line was firm and unquestionable.
“Little Yi, don’t just say you’re fine. Do you think Mom can’t tell? Listen to Mom, go get a full body checkup in the next couple of days. You can’t neglect either your physical or mental health.”
"Working abroad is tiring enough, don't push yourself too hard."
Ruan Ying paused, her voice carrying a hint of threatening concern.
"You must send me the medical report, otherwise I won't believe you're really taking good care of yourself. If you don't listen, you'd better go back to China and stay there."
Ruan Yi's heart tightened. She knew her mother's temper all too well. She seemed gentle, but once she got really into a fight, no one could persuade her to stop.
But she really didn't want to go back to China. Once she went back, there would be no reason to postpone her engagement with Shen Xun.
At that point, there won't be any question of Fu Jingchen having a boyfriend. She'll probably be forced to wear a wedding dress and become Chen Xun's wife, completely trapped in the circle of wealthy socialites.
Not to mention, she no longer wants to be that obedient baby protected in her mother's arms.
"Mom, I'm really okay..."
Ruan Yi tried to get away with it by acting cute.
"Don't give me that." Ruan Ying interrupted her directly.
“It’s settled then. Send me the test results, or Mom will drop everything at work and book a flight to come see you.”
Ruan Yi knew her mother was serious, so she could only dejectedly agree.
"Okay, I'll go in the next couple of days and I'll definitely send you the report, so don't worry."
Finally, Ruan Ying's voice came through the receiver, and she gave a few more instructions before hanging up.
Ruan Yi looked at her phone screen and sighed helplessly.
There's no escaping this inspection.
Ruan Yi stared at Pei Lian's name on her phone, her fingertips hovering above the screen as she hesitated for a long time.
It seems most convenient to have him do the check-up; Pei Lian is a doctor, and now he is also his mother's doctor.
But the thought of having to get checked by him even though he was interested in her gave her an indescribable feeling of unease.
Whenever things around her get chaotic, in those entanglements, arguments, or even out-of-control situations, Pei Lian always seems to be there.
He never seemed to get involved, just stood quietly to the side, like a dutiful handsome background figure, calmly watching everything unfold.
I clearly stated that I came to the US to work, shouldn't I be very busy?
But Pei Lian always manages to appear in various scenes as her or Fu Jingchen's friend, being so "competent" that it makes people uneasy.
She scrolled down through the call log and saw that Pei Lian had indeed received far fewer missed calls than others, making him seem the most normal.
In the end, I opened the dialog box and typed a message.
"Did you call me earlier because you needed something?"
The other end replied almost instantly; Pei Lian's message was as gentle and considerate as ever.
“My aunt mentioned to me yesterday that she was worried about your recent condition and asked if I could take care of you.”
“I haven’t returned to China yet, and I was thinking that if you need to do a check-up, I have all the necessary equipment here, so I called to ask.”
Ruan Yi looked at the screen and breathed a sigh of relief.
So it was my mother who asked me to do it. No wonder.
From this perspective, Pei Lian is probably the only one among this group who contacted her not because of any ulterior motives.
But that inexplicable sense of unease still lingered.
She still didn't want Pei Lian to examine her.
Ruan Yi thought for a moment and decided to tell a lie. She tapped her fingers on the screen and replied.
"No need, Mom was just saying. Thank you."
After successfully sending the message, Ruan Yi silently decided to go to another hospital the next day.
Meanwhile, in the office of a private hospital.
It was almost dark, and Pei Lian didn't turn on the overhead light in the room. Only the light from his phone screen shone on his face, making his delicate features appear unusually pale.
The man's long eyelashes cast a shadow under his eyes, and a gentle smile, as usual, lingered on his lips.
But in this almost deathly darkness, the smile seemed somewhat stiff, like wearing a petrified mask.
Pei Lian stared at the three words "No need" on his phone, his fingertips lightly tracing the edge of the screen, without replying.
The only light in the room was from the faint glow of a cell phone screen, which made the surrounding shadows appear even darker, as if something was silently spreading in the darkness.
It's possible with Fu Jingchen.
"So you're saying I don't need it?"
After a while, Ruan Yi's phone vibrated again.
Pei Lian's reply was very brief.
"Okay, then you should get some rest and go to bed early."
"Tell me anytime if you feel unwell."
His tone was gentle and considerate, a perfect example of a warm and caring man, without a single flaw.
Looking at the screen, Ruan Yi suddenly felt a little guilty. Perhaps she was overthinking it?
It's true that Pei Lian has feelings for her, but he has never done anything out of line and has always taken good care of her.
Is it a bit too much to be so wary of him?
Ruan Yi stared at her phone for a few seconds before finally putting it down.
Forget it, there's no use thinking too much. I should just go to sleep.
I turned off the bedside lamp, and the room was plunged into darkness.
The day's entanglements receded like the tide, and a sense of exhaustion washed over her. The girl soon fell into a deep sleep.
The silence of the night was broken by a very soft sound when Ruan Yi was fast asleep.
As she turned over in a daze, a familiar dark figure leaned closer, carrying the coolness of the night breeze and a certain comforting aura.
The girl subconsciously thought her boyfriend had returned, and was awakened by the weight on her body, still half asleep.
She didn't open her eyes; her eyelashes were gently brushed by a kiss. The kiss landed slowly, yet it carried an irresistible weight.
He rubbed her forehead, nose, and lips repeatedly, the force so strong it made her lips go numb.
"You're back?"
The girl's voice was soft and sweet, with a lazy, sleepy quality. Her wrist was gently pressed against the side of the pillow, and she was off guard.
The other person didn't say anything, but kissed her even deeper.
When his tongue pried open her teeth, it was with a hint of eager plunder, yet he deliberately slowed down his movements, as if savoring some lost treasure that had been regained.
The neckline of the nightgown was pulled down slightly, and cool fingertips slid down along the collarbone, carrying a burning heat as they massaged the skin inch by inch.
Ruan Yi trembled at the touch, raised her hand to his chest, and said in a daze.
"Wait... have you finished dealing with company matters?"
But the kiss didn't respond to her; instead, it slid down her neck and landed on her soft, undulating skin.
Heavy and scorching, with an urgent feeling that made her heart race, her hands were gripped even tighter and pressed against her head, unable to move.
In the darkness, all you could feel was the other person's increasingly hot breath, their body pressing down harder and harder, every movement slow as if being pulled, yet so fierce.
It was a rough, large hand...
She slipped under the hem of her nightgown.
"Um... Fu Jingchen! Wasn't it during the day..."
Ruan Yi struggled for a moment, her voice stuck in her throat. In the darkness, she couldn't see the other person's face, but she could smell the dangerous and seductive aura emanating from him.
"daytime?"
The man's voice rang in my ears, extremely faint and almost inaudible, low and hoarse to the point of being hoarse.
His body pressed tightly against hers, his burning heat seeping through the thin fabric, leaving her nowhere to escape.
Meanwhile, the top floor of the NovaVoy Group building was brightly lit.
Fu Jingchen sat at his desk, several urgent documents scattered on the surface, and negative news constantly refreshing on the computer screen.
The enemy's methods were more cunning than expected, with each step linked to the next, aiming to drag NovaVoy into a quagmire.
The man rubbed his tense temples, thinking that Ruan Yi should be fast asleep at the moment, and a trace of tenderness flashed across his eyes.
I need to resolve this matter here as soon as possible so I can go back and hold her while I sleep.
But seeing the constant stream of alerts popping up on the screen, he knew it wouldn't end so easily.
The struggle within the room continued.
The other person's kisses grew increasingly fierce, carrying a punitive connotation, and their hands became more and more unruly, already tearing her pajamas to shreds.
Ruan Yi's breathing became a little erratic. She gently pushed against his chest with her fingertips, her voice tinged with panic.
"No...it's too fast..."
But the other party didn't stop; instead, they became even more audacious.
The bird probed downwards and finally stopped in the most secluded place.
With a firm press of her fingertip, Ruan Yi tensed up instantly, flinching as if she had been burned.
"Why are you in such a hurry in the middle of the night!"
The girl bit her lip, her voice barely audible.
She remembered her promise to the man during the day, the words "I won't stop next time" still ringing in her ears, yet a strange shiver rose in her body, making it impossible for her to harden her heart and refuse. She could only beg for mercy in a soft voice.
"Be gentle...I...I'm afraid of pain..."
In the darkness, the man's movements suddenly stopped.
The man's lips curved into a very slight smile, and the emotion revealed in that instant was like an undercurrent beneath the surface of ice. What was originally a surging breach of defense turned into a dark and viscous one.
He clearly understood the message in the girl's words.
She and Fu Jingchen haven't reached that point yet.
A dark, ecstatic joy surged within his chest, growing wildly like vines that coiled around his heart.
He screamed wildly in his heart.
"It's his."
"From head to toe, inside and out, it's all his."
Even if one day she were to kill him, he would be willing to die just to have her.
A warm breath suddenly came close to her ear, with a deliberately softened tone and a slight rise at the end of the sentence. It was a familiar, slightly coquettish way of addressing her.
"Okay, sister."
The word "sister" exploded in Ruan Yi's ears like a thunderclap.
Her heart clenched suddenly, and she struggled violently, trying to push the person off her.
"Gu Zhi! Let me go!"
But it was too late.
The man gave her no chance to resist, and with undeniable force, he completely invaded her already wet world.
"Sister, I will be gentle."
