“…and finally, the prince, the princess, and their little baby lived happily ever after.” Rong Yan finished reading the last word, gently closed the storybook, and stealthily glanced at the sleeping face of the little one.
The more she looked, the cuter she found them.
She kissed the little one’s face quietly and tucked them in properly. She carefully extracted her sleeve from the little one’s grasp and then tiptoed off the bed.
Rong Yan left the bedroom, carefully pulling the door closed behind her.
Only after the door was completely shut did she breathe a sigh of relief. She moved her stiff neck around and went to the water dispenser to pour herself a glass of water.
Her mouth had been nonstop for over an hour, she was dying of thirst, thankfully the little one had fallen asleep quickly.
She gulped down a glass of water, which revived her a bit. Just as she was about to get some more, suddenly, a voice came from behind her, “Drinking too much cold water at night will give you a stomachache.”
“Ah!” Rong Yan was startled, nearly screaming, and her foot slipped, twisting her ankle in the worst possible moment.
“Be careful!”
Li Shengxiao’s sturdy arms embraced her waist. novelbuddy .com
“Hiss…” Rong Yan grimaced in pain, tears almost spilling from her eyes. The sight of her pained, scrunched-up face made Li Shengxiao’s heart clench, and suddenly he bent down and swept her up off her feet!
“Ah, Li Shengxiao, what are you doing?”
Rong Yan, legs dangling, instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck.
“Taking you to get some ointment!”
His jawline was perfectly firm; looking up at him, his features were sharply cut, his dignity beyond words!
Li Shengxiao carried her, his long legs striding through the living room, and laid her down on the bed in his bedroom!
Rong Yan shifted slightly as soon as her bottom touched the bed.
“Don’t move.”
He knelt down, holding her sprained left foot with one hand, while the other hand removed her slippers and socks.
The burning warmth of the man’s palm contrasted sharply with the cool skin on the sole of Rong Yan’s foot. It was so hot that her toes curled reflexively, making her uncomfortable and wanting to pull away her foot, “It’s okay, I’m fine. Just twisted it a bit, it’ll be better in a while.” f(r)eeweb(n)ovel
“I need to check it!”
Her ankle was firmly held in his strong grasp, and before she could move it was pulled back.
Alright then.
Rong Yan resigned herself to stillness, sitting obediently on the edge of the bed while he examined her.
Li Shengxiao held her left foot, moving it carefully at first. Rong Yan winced in pain but did not make a sound.
The man kneeling in front of her looked up and asked, “Does it hurt?”
Rong Yan shook her head, “Not much, I’m used to it.”
She had never taken such pain seriously. When she first went abroad, she had to study while taking care of Rong DuiDui and work to earn money.
Back then, she endured every hardship and even continued to wash dishes in icy water during the winter with a cut hand from a broken plate. A sprained ankle was like a mosquito bite to her, which would get better after a while.
She spoke as if it was nothing, even bending down to touch her rapidly swelling ankle, not seeming concerned at all.
It was precisely this that caused Li Shengxiao’s heart to sting sharply!
His hand suddenly tightened around her ankle, his lips pressed into a straight line, as he stood up, “Wait here, I’ll get some medicinal wine to rub on it!”
“No need, I’ll just apply a hot towel to it for a while, and once the bruise disperses, it’ll heal by tomorrow.” She hurriedly called out to him as his expression was as cold as December frost.
“Sit there, don’t move, I’ll be right back.” However, the man with the perfect form didn’t take her words to heart and stubbornly went to get it..
