C46 It Was a Waste of Time

Sister Qing prepared dinner and called Gu Zhangning first. Gu Zhangning stood by the window and smoked. He heard Sister Qing's voice and lowered his head to press the cigarette butt against the windowsill.

When Sister Qing saw Gu Zhangning's actions, she knew that he was definitely unhappy.

Other than the woman in the guest room, he could not find any other reason for his displeasure.

Sister Qing asked carefully, "Sir, do you want me to call your wife?"

Gu Zhangning spat out the last bit of smoke in his mouth, "No need, I'll go."

Gu Zhangning walked to the door of the guest room with his hands in his pockets. He didn't knock on the door, but just pushed it open and went in.

Bai Yin was no longer on the reclining chair. Gu Zhangning looked around the room and saw that the bathroom door was closed.

There was no sound.

Gu Zhangning walked over and knocked on the door politely this time, "You're inside?"

Then came the sound of running water, and then the splashing of the sink faucet.

Bai Yin pushed the door open a few seconds later and came out, her face pale.

Gu Zhangning stared at her for a while as his mind raced. He immediately understood what was going on.

He used one hand to support Bai Yin. "You have a stomachache. You should lie on the bed for a while. I'll go get you some hot water."

Bai Yin did not refuse and went to bed, burying herself in the quilt.

Gu Zhangning went out and got some brown sugar water for Bai Yin to carry over. Then he had Sister Qing bring the dinner to Bai Yin's room.

It looked like it was the same treatment she had received when she was hospitalized.

Previously, Bai Yin felt better. This time, her stomach was twitching and she lost interest in anything. If it was before, when Gu Zhangning came in to make a mess, she would definitely mock and ridicule him. But now, she was really not in the mood.

Gu Zhangning helped her up and gave her some brown sugar water to drink.

Sister Qing watched from the side and said, "Madam, you're really too cold. It's not really a solution for everything that happens every month."

He also knew that it wasn't an option. He had once asked a physiotherapist to come home with him in order to improve her health, but Bai Yin was too busy to have time and the physiotherapist was of no use.

Gu Zhangning thought for a moment. "There's more at the herb house, right?"

Sister Qing understood what Gu Zhangning meant, "I'll go get it now."

Although Bai Yin didn't say it out loud, she still started to mock him in her heart.

The dignified Second Master Gu had a good understanding of women's blood circulation methods. If others were to know about this, they would definitely laugh their heads off.

Gu Zhangning put her on the bed, tucked her in, and then put all the food on the bedside table.

"Eat first, then drink the medicine."

Bai Yin hummed softly, "I don't want to eat it, I'm not hungry."

Gu Zhangning wasn't going to let her off on this matter, "Or I can use my mouth to feed you."

Bai Yin feebly gouged him out, struggling to sit up.

Gu Zhangning held her shoulders, "Lie down. I'll feed you, not with your mouth. Don't worry."

Bai Yin sighed and lay on the bed obediently.

She understood clearly that if her body wasn't comfortable, she wouldn't have to go through with it.

What's wrong with having someone to wait on you?

Gu Zhangning first fed her a bowl of soup and then a porridge side dish.

Bai Yin didn't eat much. She covered her blanket and started to sweat profusely.

Gu Zhangning lowered his head to pick up some food as he muttered to himself in an indifferent tone, "I thought I'd be tricked this time. Looks like all my hard work was for naught."

Bai Yin was stunned for a moment. Then, she remembered that she had been too preoccupied with vexation the next day after she had foolishly done that thing with him and had completely forgotten about the aftermath of that incident.

It was a good thing that her aunt came on time. Otherwise, she really wouldn't know what to do.

It was clear that she and Gu Zhangning were not suitable to have children at this time.

However, from Gu Zhangning's tone, it seemed that he was very disappointed.

Gu Zhangning didn't look at her, "If there is, who knows how happy the old man would be."

Bai Yin closed her eyes and avoided the food that Gu Zhangning fed her. "I'm full."

If there really was such a thing, then Old Man Gu would definitely lock her up in the Gu household like an animal to protect it, until she gave birth to such a small thing.

She didn't even dare to imagine such a life.

There was definitely no need to think about work. No matter what the old gramps said, he wouldn't let her show herself again.
