Chapter 28 Too Much of a Fatherly Aura
Wei Dongning was in pain and feeling a bit annoyed, so she quickly washed up and crawled into her warm bed.
He curled up, trying to press down on the painful area.
In her past life, God was quite kind. Knowing that she suffered greatly from heart disease, He spared her the pain of menstrual cramps.
I never expected that after transmigrating, I would have to experience menstrual cramps.
It hasn't even started yet, and it's already hurting.
She couldn't even imagine how painful it would be when it actually started.
Just before falling asleep, Wei Dongning used her last bit of strength to call out to Gu Peiyan, who was still drawing: "Remember to put out the candles before you leave, I can't sleep if it's too bright."
Gu Peiyan paused for a moment, then continued painting as if nothing had happened.
He only put down his paintbrush after he heard her breathing gradually become even.
He quickly tidied up, blew out the candles, and shamelessly climbed into bed.
As long as he leaves before she wakes up, she won't find out that he didn't go to sleep in the study.
Moreover, he noticed that she would press her lower abdomen from time to time while eating, which suggested that she was feeling unwell.
He can sleep here so he can keep a close eye on her physical changes.
So that she won't be alone when she's feeling down.
With a new source of heat beside her, Wei Dongning subconsciously moved closer.
When Gu Peiyan pulled her into his arms, she let out a satisfied sigh.
In the middle of the night, Wei Dongning was awakened by a sharp pain, followed by a warm flow.
"Gu Peiyan..." Wei Dongning weakly nudged the man beside her twice, "Pour me a glass of hot water..."
The pain in her abdomen made her voice sound like it was being squeezed out of her throat.
Fortunately, Gu Peiyan was worried about her health, so she didn't sleep too soundly in the first place.
He immediately woke up as soon as Wei Dongning called his name.
He lit the candlesticks by the bed, picked up Wei Dongning and leaned her against the headboard, then wrapped the blanket around her more tightly: "I'll go get you some water."
Wei Dongning clutched her stomach and looked through the bed curtains at Gu Peiyan pouring water for her. Suddenly, she realized that this person wasn't so bad after all.
When Gu Peiyan returned with the hot water, the steam blurred his face.
The person who originally looked rigid and boring now seemed much gentler.
After drinking a cup of hot water, the discomfort lessened somewhat.
Even his strength has recovered considerably.
Noticing the dampness beneath her, a blush rose on her pale face: "Thank you. I accidentally dirtied the bed; I'll clean it up in a bit."
"It's alright, I'll take care of it."
Gu Peiyan carried Wei Dongning, blanket and all, to the small couch in the outer room and found her a new nightgown.
Then he turned back and removed the red-stained mattress and replaced it with a clean one.
They placed a small cushion on top of it before carrying Wei Dongning back to the bed.
Wei Dongning watched him work silently, occasionally covering her mouth and coughing.
My heart felt as if it were enveloped in a ball of fire.
Even though the freshly changed bedding was a little chilly.
"Thank you."
"We're husband and wife, no need for thanks." Gu Peiyan helped her pull the blanket up around her.
To prevent all the heat from escaping and her stomach from getting even more painful if she caught a chill.
"After these few days, I will invite a doctor to your residence to treat your illness. You must not touch anything cold or cooling anymore."
Wei Dongning's newly formed gratitude shattered instantly.
She knew this person always had a knack for ruining the atmosphere.
Her stomach started cramping again from anger, so she simply turned her back, closed her eyes, and ignored him.
Gu Peiyan sighed, extinguished the candle, and pulled her into his arms despite her struggles: "Don't move around, let me rub your stomach."
"Need not!"
Wei Dongning kept squirming in Gu Peiyan's arms, trying to shake off the arms that were holding her waist.
It's just that she's physically weak right now; otherwise, she would definitely let him know that the martial arts skills the original owner left her weren't just fancy moves.
"Be good, making you take the medicine is for your own good."
"Gu Peiyan, has anyone ever told you that you have a really strong fatherly vibe?"
"What do you mean?"
"I'm telling you, you're even more long-winded than my dad, all you do is lecture me. I'm starting to wonder if you've been assimilated by my dad?"
The arrival of her period already made her feel annoyed!
He kept saying things she didn't want to hear.
This is even more annoying!
"Don't talk nonsense. I never intended to lecture you."
Wei Dongning turned around in Gu Peiyan's arms and kicked him: "Didn't I tell you to sleep in the study? Why are you here?"
"I'm afraid you'll end up like you were just now, scared because you're all alone."
Wei Dongning choked up.
Whether what he said is true or false is impossible to verify.
However, the fact is that he did help her just now.
If he really is sleeping in the study tonight, she's not sure if she'll have the strength to finish dealing with all this.
"I'm not scared!" Wei Dongning replied awkwardly, "Go to sleep, I'm sleepy!"
Her period came on strong, and Wei Dongning spent almost the entire first day in bed.
In a daze, Wei Dongning felt as if she had returned to her previous life, when she was lying on a hospital bed waiting to die.
Oh, there are still some differences.
Back then, my heart was hurting; now, my stomach is hurting.
Looking at the dejected Wei Dongning, Xiao Wu wished he could take all the suffering upon himself.
The electronic figure's eyes were red: "Ningbao, it's all my fault. If I hadn't been punished by the God, I could have conjured up painkillers for you."
"It's okay. Compared to that, I can bear this little bit of pain."
Wei Dongning was holding the hot water bottle that Xiao Fu had just brought her.
The continuous heat dissipated some of the pain.
"Ningbao, how about I show you a movie to distract you?"
Wei Dongning thought for a moment and then refused: "Forget it, why don't you tell me some gossip instead? Any new scandals in the entertainment industry lately?"
"You wait! I'll find it for you!"
Xiao Wu brought up the electronic screen and displayed all of Big Eyes' recent trending topics.
As Xiao Wu passed by, Wei Dongning exclaimed "Wow!"
When Wei Dongning saw the explosive remarks made by the new girlfriend of a certain movie star, her cerebellum almost shrunk.
"Xiao Wu, what do you think he's after? He's worked hard all his life, and now he's back to be a laughing stock."
"I don't understand, maybe it's because she's pretty?"
Are you sure it's because she's naturally good-looking and not because she had plastic surgery?
"Uh...it's about respecting everyone's aesthetic differences."
"Respect, I don't understand, lock it up or not, it's up to you." Wei Dongning leaned against the headboard, closing her eyes with a headache.
Gu Peiyan was worried about Wei Dongning's health, so she decided to return home after finishing her official duties at the Censorate.
When passing by Tianxiang Tower, Gu Peiyan stepped inside without thinking.
Qian Rong followed him into Tianxiang Tower, curiously asking, "Young Master, are you hungry?"
"No." Gu Peiyan's expression softened for once: "Madam said that the steamed pork with rice flour at Tianxianglou is delicious."
Qianrong felt that she had been hurt, even slightly.
However, the young master said he could order something he liked to take home as an extra meal, and Qianrong felt that the harm he had suffered was insignificant.
Carrying the packed food, Gu Peiyan and Qian Rong hurried home.
As they walked into the backyard, a small figure bumped into Gu Peiyan's leg.
