Third Young Master Ye remained silent. He did not make this phone call to discuss Chu Wuyou’s infertility; he wanted to figure out the pain in her stomach.
He knew Zhuo Annan had excellent medical skills. However, his wife always avoided speaking about her injury thus it was evident she did not want to open up an old wound.
How could he force her then, knowing that she did not want to relive those painful memories?
“Eldest Sister, will the injury affect her health?” This was his main concern at the moment.
“Chenchen, I’ve never even met her yet. I really can’t answer your question without knowing her medical background.” Indeed, the woman was a great doctor but she was only a human after all, not God. How could she possibly know what was going on with a patient that she had never met before?
“But there’s something I can tell you with certainty. The stomach pain she mentioned is definitely not period pain. Old injuries also don’t trigger stomach pain without good reason. Therefore, if there’s a motive for her to tell a lie then that must be it.”
“Got it.” He sighed silently before ending the call.
He truly desired to know how she got injured and what kind of injury that was. However, there was not much he could do if she was reluctant to share.
Secretary Li came back quickly with the things as instructed. Ye Lanchen approached the door the minute he heard the knocking.
The latter then began making brown sugar tea and preparing the heat pack. He delivered those things to the woman carefully and gently.
“Actually, I lied to you earlier. My stomach doesn’t hurt.” Chu Wuyou could not keep up with the pretense out of guilt. She finally told the truth after a brief consideration.
He looked at her nonchalantly. There was not much emotion or surprise in his face.
She felt even worse upon seeing him like this.
“Is it because you don’t want me to get close with you?” Several moments later, his soft voice filled the air. He already knew the answer to his question.
His voice was deep and he did not reveal much emotion on the face. Somehow, the air was tinted with a hint of sadness.
The question caught her by surprise. She wanted to say yes at this moment, knowing that the man would actually never lay his hand on her again, given his personality.
Then she would be freed.
However, something inside her shifted upon seeing the look on his face. “Not really but…” she blurted.
It was only seconds later that she heard the words that escaped her lips. She almost bit her own tongue. What did she say?
His eyes twinkled with brilliance as he rolled on top of her immediately. The corners of his lips curled into a smile subconsciously. “You mean you want me to love you properly? Hmm, very well.”
Her eyes widened in shock. It was only after she realized the expression on his face that it finally dawned upon her. She had been tricked by the man once more. He was deliberately pretending to look sad to deceive her.
How could anyone be as treacherous as him?
How could she fall for his tricks again?
Chu Wuyou was really doomed.
Besides, he interrupted her before she could finish her sentence. She…
A surge of frustration rocked through her.
Quite the contrary, Third Young Master Ye was feeling on cloud nine. He suddenly realized he might actually be on her mind. It appeared that she was starting to care for him.
This was enough for him to leap up and down in joy.
He believed it would only be a matter of time until she started thinking about him and only him. The man would not have to worry about divorce when that happened.
