Chu Lui walked out, and when he returned, he was holding a porcelain bowl in his hands. The bowl contained Chinese medicine that did not taste very nice, but for Xia Ruoxin’s sickness, she would not be cured by average western medicine. The more medicine she ate, the more her body would be affected so she could perhaps only rely on the traditional Chinese medicine to slowly get her body back into shape.
He placed the medicine in front of Xia Ruoxin.
Xia Ruoxin took it, but the strong medicinal smell made her instinctively push the bowl of medicine away as she did not want to drink it. Meanwhile, Chu Lui stood at the side and just stared at her.
Xia Ruoxin knew very clearly that it was impossible for her to throw the medicine away even if she wanted to. If she had such thoughts, Chu Lui would force the medicine down her throat even if he had to.
She took the medicine over, endured the bitter Chinese medicine taste, and gulped every drop of it down her stomach.
At this time, Chu Lui extended his hand and opened his palm. There was a sweet in his palm, and it was Rainy’s favorite fruit sweet.
“Where did you get it from?” She took the sweet and popped it into her mouth; instantly, the sweet taste relieved the bitterness in her mouth.
“I stole it from your daughter.”
Chu Lui did not feel embarrassed.
Xia Ruoxin almost choked on the sweet in her mouth.
“She was still asking me for her sweet yesterday.”
“Mm.” Chu Lui still did not have an expression. “I took it just this one piece,” he said it really nonchalantly as if taking his daughter’s snacks was rightful.
At this time, the atmosphere seemed a little cold as Chu Lui raised her wrist to check her wristwatch.
“It’s almost time. I need to go fetch her.”
When he finished talking, he stood up and did not forget to take the bowl away. He walked into the kitchen, washed the bowl, and placed it aside.
Previously, if Chu Lui dared to step into the kitchen, the plates and the bowls would definitely be doomed. Now, on the other hand, he could actually wash the dishes. One could guess just how long he had to learn and adjust before he could transform from a kitchen killer to one that did not break a single bowl.
He took his car keys and opened the door to leave.
Xia Ruoxin walked to the window, pulled the curtain open, and watched the man leave.
Actually, she was still asking herself: what did she want to do, and what was she doing?
Suddenly, she furrowed her brows and hurriedly closed the curtain. There was a sour churning from her stomach.
This feeling was familiar and did not come in a long time.
She held her stomach and walked into the washroom. When she came out again, she was still uncomfortable. Perhaps she had left that place or Chu Lui’s physician was really good, but after two months of adjustments, the good friend that disappeared for a really long time came back again. It was painful, excruciating.
“Mommy, I’m home.” The door opened, and Rainy ran in.
Xia Ruoxin sat up and hugged her daughter. The fellow grew until she was white and soft; she was really cute.
“Are you hungry? Do you want Mommy to make something for you to eat?”
“Okay.” Rainy happily agreed. She took her school bag and prepared to do her homework. When her arms were empty suddenly, Xia Ruoxin felt a pain in her stomach and warm liquid dripping down.
She held her stomach, stood up, and went to the toilet again.
Chu Lui furrowed her brows and knew what was going on. When Xia Ruoxin came out, Chu Lui already went out; and Rainy was writing her homework obediently. She did it seriously and did not ask her mother for help. She knew how to do it.
“Auntie, I’m back.”
Lin Qing walked in and changed his shoes, and his silent face seemed to have a suppressive aura around it.
Xia Ruoxin struggled to stand up and walked to Lin Qing before ruffling his hair. “Auntie will make food for you in a while.”
“Okay.” Lin Qing lowered his head and stared at his feet.
“Auntie, I’ll go do my work.” He carried his bag and went into the room.
As Xia Ruoxin looked at her empty hand, she did not know why; but she felt that Xiao Qing was different from before. In the past, the child was bashful; but now, it was not the case. Perhaps when the child grew older, he would have deeper thoughts.
Her stomach churned again, and she hurriedly sat back down on the sofa, using all sorts of excruciating rhythms.
Not long later, there was noise coming from the outside.
The door opened, and Chu Lui walked into the kitchen to pour a glass of water before going to Xia Ruoxin. He reached into his pocket, took out medicine, and placed it in front of her.
“Take this.”
“What is this?” Xia Ruoxin took the medicine and did not put it into her mouth right away. She was not that stupid to put everything into her mouth; she had too much medicine recently.
“Painkiller.” Chu Lui sat down and passed the cup to her. “When you’re done with these few dosages, I’ll bring you to see the physician again.”
Xia Ruoxin almost threw away the medicine in her hands.
It was so weird to talk about a woman’s period with a man.
“Eat.” Chu Lui pushed the cup forward again and almost poked her eyes. However, the smile in his eyes was missing something. “Which part of you have I not seen? Even though it’s small…”
Xia Ruoxin held the cup in her hand tightly and resisted the urge to throw the cup at his face.
“Sleep for a while after you take the medicine. It’ll be much better when you wake up.” Chu Lui placed his hand on her shoulders and patted her lightly, patting away her urge to hit somebody. Once Xia Ruoxin placed the medicine in her mouth, she pulled her head back and swallowed it.
She hid on the couch and did not want to move or talk.
“What’s wrong with Mommy?”‘ Rainy felt that there was something wrong with her mother. Hurriedly, she ran over and kicked her shoe off to climb onto the couch and lay in her mother’s womb.
“Mommy, are you hurting?”
“Nope.” Xia Ruoxin ruffled her daughter’s head. “Mommy just wants to sleep for a while. Rainy, behave, okay? Go do your homework.”
“Mm.” Rainy climbed down the couch, listened to her mother, and obediently went to the chair to sit. She picked up her pencil and wrote her homework obediently.
Perhaps the medicine had taken its effect, and Xia Ruoxin felt a lot better; she still did not forget to make food for her two children.
When Chu Lui saw her get up, he frowned slightly. “Let’s go out to eat later.”
He placed his hand on his daughter’s neck and tickled it. “Right, baby?”
“Let’s eat fish.” Rainy bent her neck as it was very ticklish.
