Yan’s expression change was subtle when she thought of it.
She didn’t know what she was thinking when she raised her head and looked at Han Qing suddenly. “Erm… At this age, I thought you’re supposed to have a good control in that aspect? Or you’re lacking the strength to do so now?”
Han Qing was buttoning up his shirt as he was preparing to sit down and eat. But after listening to Yan’s comment, his eyes darkened all of a sudden.
“What did you say?”
From his gaze, Yan understood immediately that she had hit a nerve, so she lowered her head and continued eating. “No, nothing.”
As she kept her head lowered, she looked extremely guilty, regretting the way she spoke without thinking. After all, Han Qing was a man, and he would definitely feel hurt if his ability was questioned.
She sighed mentally, for she didn’t know what was wrong with her. Could it be because she was spoiled by him lately that she started to become more audacious, and dared to speak whatever was on her mind?
The person in front of her did nothing as Yan raised her head slowly in embarrassment and pushed the food toward him. “Eat.”
As she finished speaking, she immediately lowered her head again, afraid to look at Han Qing in the eyes. She was literally digging her own grave earlier, and could only hope that Han Qing wouldn’t overthink it.
Fortunately, Han Qing did not continue the topic. He sat down and started to eat without any expression. Yan stole a glance at him, and thought he probably didn’t take it seriously, or it was just not shown on his face.
The two finished the meal quietly. While they were eating, Yan kept worrying about Han Qing’s state of mind, and had completely forgotten what had happened during the day.
After dinner, Yan sat on the chair, unwilling to move, while Han Qing got up and started taking away the dishes calmly. Yan wanted to help out in the beginning, but then she thought she would let him do it, just to see how far he could tolerate her.
After Han Qing had taken everything out, Yan went straight to the couch and lay on it. Soon, she felt slightly drowsy, but when her eyelids were starting to get heavy, she could hear Han Qing’s footsteps coming over.
His footsteps were approaching her closer and closer, but Yan’s eyelids were so incredibly heavy that she was completely unable to lift them up.
Suddenly, her entire body was in the air. Yan was shocked, which made her open her eyes. Panicked and stunned, she met Han Qing’s gaze.
“What’s the matter?”
Han Qing said nothing as he carried her and headed upstairs.
Before Yan could figure out what was happening, she was being carried into his room.
The two stayed together before they were married, but they were always sleeping in separate rooms. This was the first time Han Qing took Yan into his room.
Only when her head landed on the soft pillow, Yan realized what was happening.
However, it was already too late when she came round. Han Qing was already locking down her wrists, and was going to kiss her.
“Wait, wait a minute!” Yan was panicking as she demanded him to stop. Her eyes were filled with nervousness. “Erm… Calm down.”
“Lacking the strength to do so?”
However, Han Qing stared at her and repeated her words. His expression was unfathomable, and he raised his eyebrows as he continued, “Didn’t you already get to know whether I was lacking the power that other night?”
Yan was speechless.
Yes, I know!
He was indeed very good that day, but after that, nothing happened between them, so it was only reasonable that she questioned his lack of power to do so.
Then again, it was a man’s dignity. Yan knew that she had accidentally struck a nerve, so she was trying to say something that would restore his dignity.
When she was still thinking, Han Qing was already taking off her clothes. In truth, Yan was looking forward to it. After all, it was with someone she loved, but she was pregnant. It hadn’t been three months, so she couldn’t have sex with Han Qing.
As she thought of it, Yan stopped Han Qing’s busy hands frantically.
“What’s the matter?” Han Qing lowered his head and leaned in on her, his thin lips planting a kiss on the top of her nose. “Afraid now?”
Yan nodded nervously as she bit her lower lip. “I-I can’t.”
“Eh?”
“It’s erm… My period.”
After she got pregnant, her menstruation had temporarily stopped, so it was impossible for her to get her period. But, in that moment, Yan couldn’t come up with any other excuses, so she could only go with this one.
Let’s hope Han Qing believes it.
Han Qing was a simple man; when he heard that her period came, he had indeed paused for a moment and asked, “When did your period come?”
“Y-Yesterday.” Yan’s eyes were moving rapidly. “I still feel a bit uncomfortable in my tummy. It was definitely my period.”
After staring at her for a long while, as if to make sure her words were trustworthy, Han Qing pursed his thin lips as he got up and sat at the side of the bed.
The atmosphere earlier was all gone. Yan felt slightly cold as she lay on the bed. She wanted to curl up under the blankets, but suddenly she remembered it was Han Qing’s room. So she got up and sat up straight.
She was only testing her luck, and didn’t expect him to believe it so soon, but it was a success, so Yan was relieved,
“So, I’ll go back first? I was sweating a lot earlier and it’s really uncomfortable now. I am going to take a shower.”
After Han Qing heard what she said, he looked over to her direction. He nodded as he noticed she was all normal again.
“Okay.”
He thought to himself that after a few days, he would double his efforts just to show her if his strength was falling short of his desires.
Perhaps it was because he had controlled it very well, so it made Yan to have mistaken him as being incapable.
However, Han Qing was not in a rush. They would have plenty of time in the future, and she would have a taste of it soon.
After Yan left, Han Qing stared at the door as if he was pondering about something, then he took out his phone.
Su Jiu felt annoyed when she received the call.
“President Han, isn’t it after hours now?”
“Help me look into Yan’s whereabouts these two days.”
Su Jiu was slightly astonished when she heard the words. Raising her eyebrows, she replied, “President Han, how come you wanted to look into her whereabouts suddenly? Is there any problem?”
“After you have done it, send the information to my email.”
“Alright.”
After the call ended, Su Jiu felt something was off. Why did President Han want to look into Yan’s whereabouts? The two were about to get married soon. Could it be that something went wrong between them?
Su Jiu wasn’t daring to dwell into it. After all, it was President Han’s order, so it was best if she could get the job done quickly.
Her husband looked at her grudgingly as he watched her hanging up the call.
“Was it your boss again?”
When Su Jiu explained the situation, her husband looked slightly fed up. “Although your salary at Han Group is really high, you are also very tired. My dear wife, our family has enough to spend right now, so if you’re really tired, why don’t you resign? My money is enough to support our family.”
It was heartwarming to hear those words. It made Su Jiu realize after all these years, her marriage was not in vain, and at least her husband still adored her.
“It’s alright. I have my own hands and legs to work, so I don’t need you to feed me. Besides, when the kids grow up, there are plenty of things we need to spend on.”
