Chapter 15
When her small hands touched his forehead, there was a faint citrus aroma in the air. Her hands were cool, making him feel very comfortable. He suddenly felt that if he ever fell sick, how great would it be if she were by his side taking care of him.
“You didn’t go to work today?”
“I requested a leave of absence.”
He was stunned as he looked at her gentle and soft gaze.
“I’ve inconvenienced you.”
“Why are you being so courteous? You’ve helped me a lot. Thanks to you, all those perverts don’t dare to harass me anymore. In addition, taking care of you while you’re sick is something I ought to do.” She winked and charmingly added, “Because you’re my husband.”
Her last phrase was meant to make him laugh since usually, he was the one who joked around. Every time he did something to her, whether it was good or bad, he would always say one phrase, “Because you are my wife!”
Now, she used this sentence to return the joke to him. After she finished speaking, she was still giggling.
She didn’t know how charming and adorable she was right now. Furthermore, this joke coming form her mouth was extremely provoking.
There was a faint flicker from Zhong Zhen Dong’s eyes. If it wasn’t for the fact that he had no strength because of being sick, he would’ve immediately pressed her onto the bed and fiercely kissed her.
“You’ve undressed me completely and seen me naked, causing me to suffer a huge loss. Next time, I’ll have to return the favor.”
He deliberately said this to see her reaction. The result was that she didn’t show any embarrassment, instead, she used a professional tone to inform him, “I used to volunteer at a hospital, and I’ve received nurse training, so I’m very experienced in taking care of patients who are lying down.”
“I’m also very experienced in taking off women’s clothes.”
Tang Xin Lian found his words amusing and laughed. She glanced at him, thinking that he was joking again, and continued to explain her professionalism.
The tone of her voice was like a hospital’s nurse as she talked about topics ranging from nursing to the human body.
“When the immune system is attacked by a virus, it needs seven days to make antibodies. Therefore, these next seven days of rest are very important. Understand?”
She very earnestly explained and suddenly thought of something, so she asked, “Or do you want to call your boyfriend to come over to take care of you?”
Asking Lin Yu Fan to come over to attend to him? Zhong Zhen Dong really wanted to laugh once he imagined General Lin pretending to be his boyfriend and servicing him.
Of course Lin Yu Fan wouldn’t do these kinds of things. If he really came, he would’ve immediately sent for people to bring Zhen Dong to a big hospital, asking for the best nurse to take care of him.
Compared to a hospital with top quality equipment, doctors, and nurses, Zhong Zhen Dong would rather stay with the little white rabbit. Listening to her soft voice, eating her home made cooking, smelling her sweet scent, and letting her meticulously take care of him.
“No need, he’s busy, and I also don’t want to worry him.”
“Okay, then relax, I’ll take good care of you.”
Her voice was very tender, expression very concerned. She exuded a motherly aura, like a warm current warming his heart.
When she wanted to use a thermometer to check his temper, he covered her hand with his own and softly asked, “You’re very worried about me right?”
To be honest, what he really wanted to ask was: have you fallen for me?
He suddenly had the impulse to want to possess her mind and body, not just to satisfy his physical body. Rather, he wanted to keep her by his side so he could see her everyday, listen to her talk, and eat her meals.
He rarely felt this way towards women. Generally speaking, he didn’t have a fixed relationship with them. The women he associated with in the past were due to lust, and after the desire passed, the relationship would also be over. Still, he never mistreated them. If money could be used satisfy them, then he would absolutely be generous.
At that time, when he noticed the little white rabbit, he also had this type of plan; providing for her and giving her everything she wanted while he got her body. But the more he interacted with her, the more he found her enchanting.
She was the first one to arouse his appetite with a reason besides the physical appeal.
This wasn’t very reassuring. He still didn’t get to eat her yet, and he started to want to possess her heart.
The little white rabbit’s response was to actually go into another human body lecture, completely unrelated to love and affection. Moreover, she told him important knowledge regarding colds and the side effects of taking medicine.
She said everything very seriously. Perhaps it was because she was too serious that a person couldn’t find any ambiguous sentiments. On the contrary, it made him gaze at her intently, while a kind of wonderful emotion secretly grew in his heart.
This was the first time he met a woman like her, taking care of him so diligently and requesting nothing in return.
Her self-confidence and independence made him experience a never felt before peace of mind and trust. This was a normal family, but in it was a unique woman.
He began to suspect, was it because she thought he was gay, so that’s why she didn’t have any feelings for him? If she found out that he was actually heterosexual, would her attitude change?
Tang Xin Lian placed the porridge and side dishes on the small table that was above the bed. She originally purchased this small table when she was a nurse, and it was very convenient to use with sick people.
Serving him while he finished eating, she also supported him to go to the bathroom and back to the bed. She chatted with him for a while, and then let him lie down.
