23 Too Much of a Bite (2/2)

”You need to say that, if you violate your vow, you won’t take another wife for a lifetime.” Ye Jiayao reached out for a yard after taking an inch. This was her life they were talking about, she had to be serious.

Xia Chunyu demanded through gritted teeth, ”Ye Jinxuan, this has gone too far!”

”Swear!”

”Okay, okay! If I violate my vow, I will never take a wife again in this lifetime.” Xia Chunyu had no choice but to submit to her demands. The last thing he wanted was to agree to this ridiculous condition, but he couldn't offend her openly. He already had so many problems, he didn’t want to create new ones.

Song Qi and Peng Wu tittered outside the door. Third-in-charge finally compromised! Who would've thought that his weakness would be his wife? Song Qi withdrew the knife he put in the door rings, and the two of them left quietly.

Ye Jiayao finally stopped biting. Xia Chunyu immediately covered his nose and ran to the mirror to check his wound. He almost blew his top when he saw a prominent bite mark on his nose. ”Ye Jinxuan! Look at what you did!”

Ye Jiayao glanced at him and sobbed softly. She felt anxious. She admits that what she had done was a bit too extreme, and the bite mark wouldn’t disappear in just a short period of time. He always took great pride in his appearance. Even when the second-in-charge was wounded in the ambush, he still went back and changed his bloody clothes before the briefing. He always wore tidy clothes before he went out. Seeing what she had done now, he must be furious.

”A gentleman uses his mouth, not his fists,” Ye Jiayao reminded him. ”Also, it was you who came so close to me!”

Xia Chunyu laughed. He has studied for ten years, but it wasn't until today, did he finally understood the meaning of that bothersome quote.

”So, a gentleman uses his mouth not his fists, right? Okay, let me be a gentleman then.” Xia Chunyu pretended to come at her.

Ye Jiayao hurriedly hid inside the blanket and extended her arm out. ”You can bite there.”

Xia Chunyu was about to bite her when Ye Jiayao rolled over on the bed, covering her belly. ”Aww! My stomach hurts!”

”Stop pretending you've got a stomachache. Put your arm out now.” Xia Chunyu remained indifferent.

”No! It's really painful.” Ye Jiayao wasn't pretending, it really was painful. It felt like her guts were knotting together, cramping excruciatingly. She has never suffered such a pain before.

Xia Chunyu halted and stared at her. Her face was deathly pale and there were beads of sweat all over her forehead. ”What's going on? How did you get sudden pain? Did you eat bad food?” Xia Chunyu worried.

Ye Jiayao was in too much pain to speak, so she just nodded weakly. There was no way that she ate bad food. The dumplings she ate at lunch were cooked well, and her cooking was generally clean.

”Hang in there, I will go get Mr. Liu.” Xia Chunyu went to seek the doctor immediately. He rushed out, totally forgetting the obvious bite mark on his nose.

Ye Jiayao’s body was covered in cold sweat. Damn it! What was this illness? Enteritis? It can’t be appendicitis because it was in the wrong spot for that. If she had enteritis, it was not easy to cure this time. Mr. Liu most likely wouldn't even know what it was, let alone be able to cure it. This was why people in ancient times had such a short lifespan. It was because their medical skills, equipment, and techniques were underdeveloped.

Suddenly, Ye Jiayao felt a warm gush of liquid at her lower body. The familiar feeling made her pause. Could she be getting her period?

Her periods were never as painful as this, though. Her abdomen was almost feeling sore and her limbs were powerless.

Ye Jiayao forced herself to go to the bathroom to check. She came out, a short minute later, her head hung. She walked out and called for Song Qi.

Song Qi rushed out from his room and promptly freaked out when he saw the state his big sister was in. He thought that it must've been uneasy for his big sister to fight because it looked like it sapped her vitality.

”Sister-in-law, what is it?” Song Qi worried.

”Song Qi, call Auntie Jiang for me. Hurry!” Ye Jiayao requested before she closed the door to avoid further questions from Song Qi. It was hard to explain this type of things to a guy.

Song Qi rushed to Auntie Jiang.

Ye Jiayo had already changed clothes and was lying down on the bed when Xia Chunyu brought Mr. Liu back. Her stomach was still cramping, but it wasn’t as painful as before.

”Mr. Liu, could you please check? My wife had a stomachache a moment ago,” Xia Chunyu said hurriedly.

Ye Jiayao looked at Mr. Liu and said gloomily, ”Chunyu, I need to tell you something.”

”You can tell me after Mr. Liu checks you up,”

”No, I have to tell you now.” Ye Jiayao made hand gestures to Xia Chunyu, hoping to convey her message without actually saying the embarrassing words.

Mr. Liu coughed and excused himself. ”I'll come back after you two finished your talk.”

Xia Chunyu was embarrassed, and simply made a hurried gesture of thanks to Mr. Liu. After he had left, Xia Chunyu lowered his voice, and asked, ”What do you want? Aren't you in pain? Can't you wait until he after he looked you over?”

Ye Jiayao waved him over. ”Come closer.”

Xia Chunyu stared at her angrily for a moment before finally moving towards her.

Ye Jiayao tugged at his sleeves to request him to lower his head.

Xia Chunyu lowered his head patiently.

”I am not sick,” Ye Jiayao confessed softly.
