They arrived back at Luxury Mansion. Upon seeing Luo Anning dressed in patient’s clothes, Auntie Li immediately greeted her anxiously and held her. “Young Madam, are you alright? Why is your face so pale?”
Luo Anning patted Auntie Li’s hand and said softly, “I’m fine Auntie Li, you don’t need to help me. I’ll go upstairs to rest first.”
Auntie Li retracted her hand and added uneasily, “Young Madam, I’ll get the servants to go make some soup. You don’t look well. Oh, did you eat dinner?”
“Don’t bother, I have no appetite, and I don’t want to eat anything.” She then headed upstairs to go to the bedroom.
Just as Auntie Li was about to say anything, she could not bring herself to say it when she saw Luo Anning wearing the baggy patient’s clothing.
“Young Master Rong, what do we do? Young Madam is ill, how can she not eat… ” After all, Auntie Li was still worried about Luo Anning. She quickly turned around to look at Rong Yan who remained silent.
Rong Yan kept his eyes fixed on Luo Anning until she disappeared around the corner of the stairs. He then turned around to look at Auntie Li with a frown. “Boil some soup and porridge, and make some side dishes. Call me when you are done. ”
Auntie Li smiled and expressed assent before turning around and relaying the instructions.
…
Back in the bedroom, Luo Anning threw herself onto the bed, grabbed a pillow, and buried her face in it.
The sounds of the door being locked filled the air, followed by the rhythmic sounds of heavy footsteps. She could tell who they belonged to.
She yelled without looking up, “Get out!”
Her shoulders were lifted up and at the next instant, her pillow was taken away from her. Rong Yan lifted her face and his frown dissipated when he saw the moisture on her face.
He sat by the edge of the bed and held onto her shoulders. He said carefully, “Anning, I got Auntie Li to cook some soup and porridge for you. Have some before you go to bed, alright?”
“I said I have no appetite and don’t want to eat!” Pushing him away, Luo Anning grabbed the pillow and laid on the bed before burying her face in the pillow again.
Rong Yan decided not to force her any further and instead stared at her while she laid in bed. He had no choice but to sit by the bed and gently caress her back in a bid to comfort her.
After just a few minutes, Luo Anning got up and smacked his hands away. Staring at him in disgust, she barked, “Can you not touch me!”
Rong Yan gritted his teeth, clasped her chin and tried to kiss Luo Anning who moved away forcefully. However, he pulled her back at the next second.
He moved his lips closer to hers and she slapped him angrily.
Pak!
Time stopped and silence filled the air.
The suffocating silence erupted in the air. Luo Anning stared at his reddened face and bit her lower lip while turning away.
Rong Yan squinted and pursed his lips without much of an expression on his handsome face. However, his clenched fists revealed his anger.
“Is an explanation really that important? Everyone has a past, haven’t you and Du Xiaoran had a relationship in the past too? Have I ever asked you anything about him?”
Luo Anning looked at him like he was a stranger. “That’s because you can easily investigate and find out everything about me, but I can’t do the same about you. This is not fair at all, so why mix them together?”
Rong Yan pursed his lips and said, “You can investigate too. I won’t stop you.”
