Ning Ran gave him a thumbs up and complimented, “Well done, Sir Chen! I’m pretty sure she wouldn’t have handed it over to me if I were the one who had dropped by the store.”

Nan Chen decided to ignore Ning Ran and made her a glass of brown sugar drink.

After he had the glass of drink ready, he handed it over to her. However, he gave it a thought and decided to retrieve the glass of drink.

He took a sip to ensure everything was fine before handing it over to her once again.

Nan Chen had improved drastically. He knew how to take care of others better.

Taking the glass over, Ning Ran took a sip, and it warmed her up instantly.

She sat across the man and consumed the drink he had served her slowly.

As she was drinking, she noticed he had cast a gentle gaze at her. Immediately, she avoided his gaze because she felt embarrassed.

“How do you feel? Better?”

Ning Ran nodded in return, but she didn’t feel better at all.

In actual fact, it would take more than a glass of brown sugar drink to alleviate the pain she felt. Nevertheless, she didn’t want to let him down.

“It’s time to go to bed again.”

“Mmhmm...”

Ning Ran returned to her room in a couple of strides. She turned around and noticed Nan Chen was behind her. “What do you want?”

“I have to keep an eye on you. If you’re not feeling well again, I can take care of you.”

“That won’t be necessary because I’m not even sick. I’m just on my period. You don’t have to worry about me.” Ning Ran turned Nan Chen down.

Nan Chen behaved as though he didn’t hear her at all and followed her into her room. In the end, he closed the door on her behalf.

As soon as Ning Ran lay on the bed, Nan Chen tucked her in and sat by her side.

She asked, “Are you going to spend the entire night sitting by my side?”

He replied in a husky voice, “If you don’t mind, I’d love to join you in bed.”

Ning Ran remained silent for a few minutes because she was at a loss for better words to rebut his statement.

“Why don’t you return to your room? You don’t have to be worried about me. I have always been on my own whenever it’s the time of the month. Frankly, I have gotten used to being alone.”
