Chapter 443: It’s My Turn To Protect You, Lower Abdomen Pain Was Noticed
Lord Fu had previously instructed that the people in Sheng Yuan were not allowed to know about it, much less tell Qin Shu.
Therefore, other than Shi Yan and Ye Luo, no one in Sheng Yuan knew that Fu Tingyu’s martial strength had weakened.
The outside world also didn’t know of Fu Tingyu’s martial strength weakening.
He saw Qin Shu standing at the door but she didn’t push the door open to come in. After standing outside for a while, she turned around and left.
No matter how stupid Ye Luo was, he knew that Qin Shu was pretending that she didn’t come and didn’t see Lord Fu getting easily defeated by him and falling to the ground.
Ye Luo quietly withdrew his gaze. He didn’t mention that Qin Shu had come.
11 pm
The bedroom door opened from the outside with a slight sound. Qin Shu, who was lying on the bed, moved her thick eyelashes slightly. She knew that the man had returned but she didn’t open her eyes.
In the bedroom, there was only a bedside lamp emitting a soft light.
Fu Tingyu slowed down his footsteps but there was still a soft sound. He looked at the person on the bed and he walked straight to the wardrobe. After taking out his robe, he walked into the bathroom to take a shower.
In the bathroom
Fu Tingyu took off his clothes one by one, revealing his perfect figure. His muscles were well-defined and he had six-pack abs. His skin was very white but there were several bruises on his body. They were formed by knocking on the wooden floor when he fell.
He looked at his body in the mirror. The bruises on his body reminded him of the time when he studied martial arts on the mountain. The bruises on his body never subsided since the first day he went up the mountain.
On the first day he went up the mountain, the lady threw him over her shoulders and that was how he got his bruises.
He grew up with a golden spoon in his mouth. When he fell on the hard mountain rocks, bruises weren’t the only thing that formed on his body. He had scratches too.
Fu Tingyu recollected his thoughts and turned around to walk under the shower. He turned on the shower and cold water spilled out from the top of his head. It flowed all the way down to his body. Gradually, the water began to turn warm.
After washing up, he wiped off the water droplets on his body and put on his nightgown before turning around to walk out.
He slept late these two nights. When he came back, the lady was already asleep.
He laid down next to the lady and turned off the bedside lamp. The dim bedroom became completely dark.
Fu Tingyu stretched out his arms and pulled the lady into his arms. He pressed his chin against her soft hair and smelled the faint smell of shampoo. He closed his eyes and fell asleep in a short while.
In the dark room, Qin Shu slowly opened her eyes. She listened to the man’s steady breathing and knew that he had fallen asleep.
She reached out her hand and wrapped it around the man’s skinny waist.
When she saw the scene just now, she knew that the man desperately wanted to recover his martial strength. He didn’t want to be a weakling and he didn’t want others to protect him at all times. He didn’t want to hide behind others when they were faced with dangers.
In the past, you protected me.
Now, it’s my turn to protect you.
Before your martial strength recovers, I will protect you.
The next day.
Fu Tingyu woke up right on time. He was about to get up but the hand on his waist was holding him tightly. It stopped him from getting up.
Then, he heard the lady’s slightly hoarse voice, “Sleep for a while more.”
Fu Tingyu lowered his head and saw that the lady didn’t even open her eyes. She was only holding his waist and speaking in a soft voice.
The nightgown she was wearing was already loose after she rolled on the bed the whole night. When her arms wrapped around his waist, her collar was open.
Fu Tingyu’s gaze darkened. “Are you sure you don’t want me to get up?”
“Yes,” Qin Shu replied with her eyes closed. However, the corners of her lips were raised.
“Then, prepare to sleep for the entire morning.”
The man who had just woken up had a slightly hoarse voice, but at this moment, there was a hint of danger.
Hearing the man’s words, Qin Shu could roughly guess what he meant. She opened her eyes abruptly.
Fu Tingyu laid down again, not even giving her a chance to react or refuse.
Qin Shu still wanted to go to Gu Yan’s place after breakfast, but now… she was afraid that she couldn’t.
..
..
Three hours later, at eight o’clock in the morning.
The sun was shining brightly outside, shining down diagonally from the window onto the balcony.
Fu Tingyu sat on the edge of the bed, looking down at the person lying in bed. Her eyes were half-closed and there were still droplets of water on her long eyelashes. She looked back at him but she didn’t say anything. She seemed to be angry.
He still wanted more. “You can sleep a little longer. I’ll go to the office.”
Qin Shu didn’t say anything.
Fu Tingyu reached out and rubbed her hair. His eyes filled with gentleness. “Next time, I’ll control myself a little.”
He looked at the time and realized that it was getting late. He stood up and was about to leave but the lady grabbed his hand. He turned around and looked at the lady in confusion.
Qin Shu looked at the man.”… Come back earlier tonight.”
“Okay,” the man replied.
Qin Shu let go of his hand.
Fu Tingyu stood up and left the bedroom.
After the sound of the door closing was heard, the room became quiet again.
Only then did Qin Shu frown. Her lower abdomen was hurting a little. She endured the pain just now because she was afraid that he would worry.
Her lower abdomen was throbbing. She gritted her teeth and laid on the bed for a while. Then, she got up and went to the bathroom to wash up.
After washing up, she went to the cloakroom and changed into a set of casual clothes. She walked out.
She ate a little bit of food for breakfast.
“Young Madam, why did you only eat so little?” Ning Meng looked at the bowl in front of Qin Shu. There was still half of the porridge left.
“I don’t want to eat anymore.”
Qin Shu took out a tissue to wipe the corner of her mouth. Then, she stood up and walked out.
Ning Meng noticed that she didn’t even eat breakfast. She looked at Qin Shu’s departing figure and was a little worried.
Qin Shu took a car to Gu Yan’s villa. The car was driven by Ye Luo.
Half an hour later, at the private villa.
Qin Shu arrived more than an hour later than the agreed time.
Gu Yan brewed a pot of tea but when he finished it, he still did not see Qin Shu.
Just as he was about to pick up his phone to make a call, Qin Shu came over.
Qin Shu walked to the pear tree chair in front of Gu Yan and sat down. “Something came up so I’m late.”
“It’s okay. I’ve been at home all this time so you can come at any time.” Gu Yan looked up at Qin Shu. Seeing that she didn’t look well, he asked, “Are you feeling unwell?”
Gu Yan was a doctor and he was good at Chinese medicine. It was not strange at all for him to noticed it. But… Qin Shu was a little embarrassed.
She could only vaguely say, “My lower abdomen is hurting a little.”
Gu Yan was a little confused. He took out a consultation pad and placed it on the short table. “Let me take your pulse.”
Qin Shu reached out and placed her hand on the consultation pad.
Gu Yan placed his two fingers on it. When he started to take her pulse, she felt a little uneasy.
There was silence for a long time
Gu Yan looked up at Qin Shu. She leaned forward to place her wrist on the consultation pad. She was wearing a shirt collar today. There were no buttons on the collar. When she leaned forward, the collar was opened, allowing him to see the marks on her neck.
He also knew the cause of her lower abdomen pain.
He retracted his hand.
Qin Shu saw that he had checked her pulse so she retracted her hand as well. She looked at him, waiting for the result of his check-up.
Gu Yan picked up the tea in front of him and brought it to his mouth. He took a sip and realized that it was already cold.
He put it down again, not knowing what to say for a moment.
