C8 Don't Play with a Child's Temper

Lu Yao was surprised to see Shao Yunchen. Earlier, she used to see him only four days in a month. But these last few days it seemed as if he was there everywhere she turned. It was he who took her to the hospital. Was this a fever dream?

Lu Yao did not answer his question. Instead, she turned her head aside.

Shao Yunchen sighed. He pulled a chair over and sat down. Picking up the bowl of hot porridge, he said in a low voice, "I'm taking away your cigarettes. Do you hear me?"

Lu Yao sneered, saying with a huff, "Ha! Who do you think you are? "

"Lu Yao, you're a grown woman. Don't be childish." Shao Yunchen responded. He blew on the porridge lightly and handed it to her: "I asked them to put some sugar in it, the way you like it. Have a bite."

"I don't want it!" Lu Yao whined. She twisted her body farther away.

He seemed considerate, remembering what she liked to eat. Why were the two of them usually like strangers in their marriage?

And she was not childish!

Seeing how stubborn she was, Shao Yunchen frowned. He leaned in and kissed her suddenly, forcing her to open her mouth. He then fed her the hot porridge.

"Ugh!" Lu Yao pounded on his chest, resisting him. Shao Yunchen got closer and clamped her legs tightly with his own. He kissed her again and again deeply in attempts to open her mouth. Lu Yao was almost unable to breathe.

After repeatedly feeding her like this a few times, the bowl of porridge was finally empty. Lu Yao quietened down in his arms. She glared at him as if he were unforgivable for what he did.

Shao Yunchen caressed her lips lightly with his thumb.

They were light pink and soft. He liked it when he kissed them. However, this was a hospital, so no matter how much he wanted to continue, he had to suppress the urge. Lu Yao was not well.

Shao Yunchen cradled Lu Yao's head as he held her in his arms. "Lu Yao, if I find out that you are smoking again, I will deal with it in my own way," he warned her in a harsh voice.

"It is none of your business!" Lu Yao swallowed when she saw his stern face. She lowered her eyes, not meeting his hard gaze. She forced herself to lie down and pulled the covers over herself, feeling uneasy.

She was not feeling well. He ought to stay, right?

As long as he stayed to take care of her until she got better, she swore not to fight him.

But Lu Yao was expecting too much. Not even a minute later, the sound of rustling plastic bags could be heard. She heard Shao Yunchen say, "I have something to take care of. You rest. I'll come pick you up tomorrow morning when I get time."

Filled with disappointment, Lu Yao tightened the blanket around herself.

In his heart, she was not as important as his work.

When Lu Yao made no response, Shao Yunchen stopped at the door to ask, "Is there something I can help you with?"

"No!" Lu Yao knew that he was probably referring to her father. Upon hearing the word 'help', she felt sour and irritated. "I'll take care of things myself. You can leave now!"

'She really has the temper of a child…' Shao Yunchen thought, sighing.

He did not like the marriage they had, but she was his wife in name at least. She had been obedient and unassuming in all this time that he had been married to her. He could not ignore her completely.

As he left the ward, Shao Yunchen was troubled and lost in thought. He took out his phone and made a call. "Help me contact Mr. Xiang and ask him when he's free. I want to pay him a visit."

Lu Yao woke up in the morning, lying on the hospital bed until it was almost eleven. Shao Yunchen had still not come.

He had lied to her!
