Chapter 7: It’s Just That… “That” Came

Just as he was about to leave, he paused for a moment and his expression darkened. “Why? Do you want to continue being sick so that you can gain my pity?”

Mu Wan’s heart ached.

Two seconds later, she raised her head slightly and looked at the cold and heartless man in front of her.

Although her heart was still full of holes, she could only endure it.

“It’s just that… ‘that’ came, so I’m feeling a little uncomfortable.”

Gu Tingyuan was stunned for a few seconds. He didn’t seem to understand what she meant and only recovered after a while.

If he did not remember wrongly, he remembered that she had a cold uterus. Hence, she would always look pale whenever she had her period.

Gu Tingyuan looked at her deeply and did not say anything else. He turned around and left indifferently.

Xiao Bi stood up to send him off.

Meanwhile, on the bed, Mu Wan’s expression was calm, but the piercing pain in her heart did not dissipate for a long time. She simply lay down and turned her back to the maids.

Seeing that she was lying down to rest, the maids did not dare to disturb her and retreated.

Mu Wan lay on the bed, staring at the stars outside the window with a heavy heart.

After some time, the maid, Xiao Bi, knocked on the door again and entered.

After Gu Tingyuan’s reprimand, Xiao Bi seemed to have restrained herself. She looked at Mu Wan’s back on the bed and said, “Miss Mu, it’s time for dinner. Do you want to go downstairs or should I serve it to you?”

Xiao Bi’s voice pulled back Mu Wan’s thoughts as she looked out of the window. Then, Mu Wan turned slightly and sat up straight.

“I’ll go downstairs.”

She was not pampered and did not want to appear weak in front of Gu Tingyuan. That would only make him hate her more, and she did not want to give him the chance to mock her.

When she went downstairs and came to the dining room, Mu Wan thought that Gu Tingyuan had left long ago. After all, he had not returned since that night.

However, when she reached the dining room, Mu Wan was stunned. She stared blankly at the man sitting at the main seat.

Hadn’t he left?

At the dining table, Gu Tingyuan did not raise his eyes to look at her. When he sensed that she was here, he picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

After staring blankly at him for about half a minute, Mu Wan slowly moved her feet. She pulled out a chair in front of the dining table and sat down beside him.

As soon as she sat down, the maid, Xiao Bi, handed her a pure white porcelain cup.

Mu Wan glanced at the cup, unsure of what was inside. She looked at Xiao Bi, her heart full of doubts.

Xiao Bi said, “It’s ginger water with brown sugar.”

Ginger water with brown sugar?

Mu Wan was stunned for a moment. She instinctively turned her head and looked at the man who was eating slowly.

Gu Tingyuan did not say a word, as if he did not hear their conversation. He even turned a blind eye to Mu Wan’s gaze. He just quietly ate his dinner as if she was just a wisp of air beside him.

She did not know if Gu Tingyuan or Xiao Bi had prepared this cup of ginger water with brown sugar, but her abdominal pain was still very obvious. She really needed this cup of ginger water.

She took the cup from Xiao Bi’s hands. The temperature was just right. After drinking a cup, her stomach felt much better.

Then, she looked at the dishes on the table. There were a total of seven dishes. They were all hot dishes with meat.

The servants did not dare to slack off, probably because Gu Tingyuan stayed for the meal.

Speaking of which, it had been half a month since she had eaten meat. Although she wasn’t that interested in meat, it had been too long since she had eaten meat, so she couldn’t help but feel hungry.

She picked up a piece of fish seasoned with salt and pepper. The taste was excellent, but perhaps because Gu Tingyuan was around, Mu Wan was a little too careful tonight.
