Chapter 534 - Villainous Advisor (1/2)

Long Tianyu gazed at Zuo Qiuyu with a mixed expression in his eyes.

This was a very private matter between the two of us. Why was this fellow enquiring about it?

When Zuo Qiuyu saw the suspicious look in Long Tianyu’s eyes, all he could do was force a smile.

Rubbing his palms together, Zuo Qiuyu awkwardly moved closer to Long Tianyu’s ear.

He whispered briefly into Long Tianyu’s ear and immediately, a look of surprise and doubt appeared in Long Tianyu’s eyes. Finally, he seemed to be taken in by what Zuo Qiuyu said.

“Are you serious about what you said?”

Long Tianyu looked at Zuo Qiuyu solemnly. Finally, the latter nodded with conviction.

“I’m a physician, so naturally such matters won’t escape me. I know that you have a soft spot for my cousin, but no matter how much you fancy her, you have to consider her health. You must not be too demanding on her, lest her health suffers long-term effects in the future.”

A strained look flashed across Zuo Qiuyu’s eyes.

Although Long Tianyu did not like the feeling of being teased and mocked, he had no choice but to let this fellow go for now.

He furrowed his brows and turned towards Lin Mengya, feeling a little worried.

“Is there a way to nurse this illness?”

Zuo Qiuyu thought he should not play the bystander when he saw how Long Tianyu was taking this so seriously.

He leaned close to Long Tianyu and whispered something into Long Tianyu’s ear. Thereafter, Long Tianyu shot him a glance, then left the conference room.

Although Lin Mengya felt befuddled, she could not fall asleep.

Frustrated, she covered her face with the blanket and quietly blamed Long Tianyu for making her fall for him.

Back in the days when she was still studying in medical school, she always fell asleep the moment her head touched the pillow no matter how busy and exhausted she was.

However, the Lin Mengya of today had suffered insomnia all because of Long Tianyu.

“For goodness sake! What am I so confused about?”

Feeling exasperated, Lin Mengya lifted the blanket, focusing her vision on the top part of the bed.

Since last night, she felt as if the complicated emotions in her was almost driving her crazy.

If she had known that romantic love was so difficult to deal with, she would rather be poisoned to death right from the beginning, than to have anything to do with Long Tianyu.

“Are you asleep, Mengya?”

Long Tianyu’s voice echoed from outside the door all of a sudden.

Lin Mengya was startled and froze for a moment. Straightening her clothes and tidying up her hair, she sat up on the bed and responded with a lukewarm tone.

“Come in, I’m not asleep yet.”

The door was pushed open by Long Tianyu from outside.

Thereafter, he brought in a big bowl with great caution.

Lin Mengya felt perplexed. It was only after she saw the dark liquid in the large bowl that she turned to look at Long Tianyu with puzzlement.

“What medicine is this?”

“Drink it while it’s hot. Zuo Qiuyu said this medicine is good for your health.”

Naturally, Lin Mengya did not suspect anything when she witnessed how cautious Long Tianyu was carrying the bowl.

She pondered for a moment, lifted the bowl, and in one gulp, she downed the contents.

What she did not expect was that the medicine was not bitter, rather it tasted a little spicy. To her greater surprise, the medicinal soup was actually sweet.

It was only when she had finished the entire bowl of soup that the frown on Long Tianyu’s face eased gradually.

At that moment, he gazed at Lin Mengya with a concerned look in his eyes.

“Now that you’ve finished drinking, you should sleep for a while. Zuo Qiuyu said that you should take a good rest in the next few days. You may leave all other matters to me. I’ll handle them for you.”

Then, he caressed Lin Mengya’s head gently and affectionately.

He even fiddled with her blanket to make sure she was properly covered.

Lin Mengya gazed at Long Tianyu with a surprised expression on her face. However, when she saw the doting look in Long Tianyu’s eyes, Lin Mengya finally understood.

“What did that idiotic Zuo Qiuyu say to you?!”

Lin Mengya opened her eyes wide and did not know whether to laugh or to cry.

Hesitating for a moment, Long Tianyu said with a low voice, “Why didn’t you tell me about this earlier? Women… are naturally different from men. It was my fault for being negligent. Please rest well for the next few days.”

Immediately, Lin Mengya had a grasp of what happened.

Zuo Qiuyu was not to be blamed for such a misunderstanding. It was difficult not to make Long Tianyu worry when she acted so abnormally last night so abruptly.

However…

That fellow was a physician. It should not escape him whether that time of the month had arrived for her.

It appeared that he was abusing his medical knowledge and skills to make fun of Long Tianyu.

She was speechless.

“Long Tianyu, actually I… forget it, thank you anyway.”

The bowl of ginger red sugar soup not only warmed her body, but it also melted her heart.

Despite having the intention to push him away, she realized that she had neglected Long Tianyu’s feelings.

He liked her. He was even willing to sacrifice his life for her.

Love was a matter between the two of them. How could she be so selfish to reject Long Tianyu and push him away because of the little shadow in her heart?

By doing so, she would be bringing hurt both to herself as well as Long Tianyu.

Once she straightened out her thoughts, she was able to lay aside the emotional entanglement in her heart for now.

A warm and tender smile returned to Lin Mengya’s countenance.
