Oh, no need to look, her mouth must be swollen!
Rong Yan had just evened out her breathing when she struggled against his wrist and said, âLi Shengxiao, let me go first, your temperature is not right, let me check your pulse to see if youâre running a fever.â
She had learned traditional Chinese medicine, so taking a pulse was no big issue.
She could still make a simple diagnosis for a cold or fever.
To prevent herself from being interrupted before she finished speaking, Rong Yan rushed out in one breath, âAre you running a fever? The palm of your hand is very hot.â
âLet me go, Iâll check on you. If you have a fever, there should be some fever medicine at home, you should take one.â
Unable to free herself, she could only voice her concerns. But the worried expression was genuinely there.
Li Shengxiao looked at the worried face of the little woman beneath him, and his heart tightened in spurts, the sharp pain from earlier hitting him again.
His thin lips pressed into a straight line, his voice hoarse, he asked, âAre you worried about me?â
So, she was worried about him?
Rong Yan paused, then reacted, âWhat do you think? Your palm is so hot, how could I not be worried?â
She struggled again, urging him, âLi Shengxiao, let me go first, I need to check on you.â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The man firmly pinning her down on the bed showed no intention of letting go, still trapping her between his chest and his thin lips with a touch, âSince youâre worried about me, why do you still want to divorce me?â
If sheâs worried about him, why would she want a divorce, why think of running away!
He couldnât understand!
Rong Yan blinked, finally realizing he was angry about earlier, and looking into those burning eyes, she began to explain, âI didnât want to divorce you. It was you who asked me what I would do if, in the end, we found we were not a match.â
âSo what do you plan to do?â Li Shengxiaoâs chest heaved violently, unwilling to let go of any of her reactions.
Rong Yan had just noticed he was gone and thought a lot about it. Now that he asked, she honestly said, âWhat can I do? If weâre not a match in the end, I can only take Duidui and leave.â
The word âleaveâ pierced the manâs heart like a dagger!
That indescribable emotion hit him as if out of control, his handsome face suddenly turned a shade paler, and his thin lips pressed into a single straight line!
The hand gripping Rong Yanâs wrist also unconsciously tightened!
Rong Yanâs wrist throbbed with pain, but she held back the urge to grunt and continued, âWhat else can I do, if, like you said, in the end, we are not a match. Surely it wonât just be me who feels that way; you will also think I am not the right person for you. By then, even if I donât want to leave, there is nothing I can do. You know the disparity in our statuses. Clinging to you will be useless, and in the end, it will only bring me shame. Rather than that, even though I would hate to leave, I might still do it quietly.â
Her point was not that she would leave if she felt it wasnât right, but that the one who felt it wasnât right would be him.
âEven if I had no dignity and clung to you, youâre either at the company or at your private villa every day, with security outside. I canât possibly squat on the street waiting for youâ¦â
Rong Yanâs voice was sweet, comforting to hear, slowly spoken, and oddly evocative, as if one could see her squatting outside Li Group, waiting every day.
Damn it! For a moment, Li Shengxiao felt a towering rage, but now, that rage turned into an impulse to silence her little mouth.
