In fact, Shen Yan never had menstrual cramps when she was on her period before. However, after she jumped into the water to save Lin Xing and knelt in the Fu family ancestral hall for a whole night, she suffered from cramps ever since then.
Now, her body would remind her of how stupid she was to give up her dignity and freedom for a man every time she had her period.
Shen Yan was in so much pain that her head was covered in cold sweat.
At this moment, the doorbell suddenly rang.
Shen Yan got off her bed reluctantly. She walked toward the door barefooted.
Just then, the doorbell rang again.
Shen Yan held her stomach and bent over to walk to the door. She was wondering who it was to come here in the middle of the night.
She froze slightly upon seeing Lu Yan when she opened the door.
“Why are you here?” Although Shen Yan wanted to straighten her back and talk to Lu Yan, her stomach was hurting too badly.
Lu Yan looked at her pale face. He then noticed that she was covering her stomach with one hand and was not even wearing shoes. His expression changed, and he quickly asked, “Why aren’t you wearing shoes?”
Lu Yan raised his feet and walked in. He closed the door swiftly and carried her up.
This startled Shen Yan, who wanted to resist but did not have the strength to do so. Thus, she could only let Lu Yan carry her.
Lu Yan brought her to the couch. He frowned and glanced at her anxiously.
Shen Yan supported herself using the couch and sat up. She asked weakly, “Can you pour me a cup of hot water?”
“Sure.”
As Lu Yan spoke, he turned around and headed to the kitchen. He brought over a cup of hot water and placed it in front of Shen Yan.
Shen Yan took the hot water and tested the temperature before drinking the entire cup.
“Please sit down and wait for a moment.”
Then, Shen Yan saw Lu Yan taking the plastic bag that he had brought into the kitchen.
“Lu Yan…”
“Just wait a moment.” Lu Yan stood at the kitchen door and smiled at her.
Shen Yan stood up helplessly and walked toward the kitchen. She saw him cutting ginger on the chopping board, and there was a bag of brown sugar on the counter next to him.
Lu Yan put the brown sugar and ginger into the pot neatly and added some water into it before turning on the gas stove.
“Your stomach is hurting. Why are you still standing?” Lu Yan walked up to her and bent to lift her up.
Shen Yan felt a little uncomfortable. She stepped back to avoid his hand and said helplessly, “There’s no need for you to do this. I don’t need it.”
Shen Yan did not want Lu Yan to continue pursuing her, as she could not reciprocate appropriate his feelings.
Lu Yan did not say anything. He bent down and picked Shen Yan up, then carry her back to the couch.
“Lu Yan,” Shen Yan called out helplessly.
“It was my fault last night. I’m sorry. Now, let me apologize to you, okay?”
Hearing his words, Shen Yan hesitated for a long time, but she ended up not saying anything.
Shen Yan was half lying on the couch and clutching her stomach. She fell asleep in a daze, and after a long time, she heard someone calling her.
When she opened her eyes, she saw Lu Yan holding a bowl and sitting beside her.
“Don’t sleep yet. Drink something before you go to sleep,” Lu Yan muttered gently, as he scooped up a spoonful of ginger syrup. He moved it closer to Shen Yan’s mouth and added, “Be good. Open your mouth.”
Hearing how he was trying to coax her, Shen Yan smiled helplessly. However, her stomach was hurting terribly now.
Although she wanted to drink it herself, her stomach was hurting so badly that she was barely able to sit.
After drinking a bowl of ginger syrup, Shen Yan felt warm all over, and she felt much better.
“It’s getting late. I still have to go to the office tomorrow.. You should go back and rest early too,” Shen Yan muttered breathlessly with her head lowered.
