Chapter 156: Chapter 156: Skillfully Tucking Her in

Again and again, the voice seemed to be trying to awaken her, yet it was very gentle, as if fearful of startling her.

The voice was familiar, but she couldn’t remember whose it was.

Unsure how long she had been asleep, when she opened her eyes, she found herself in Rong Shaoze’s bedroom with an IV needle in her hand, receiving a glucose drip.

She moved her eyeballs, and the events that had transpired on the sea flooded her mind.

She was tied by Rong Shaoze in the sea, and the water had engulfed her, she had nearly drowned...

Then Rong Shaoze rescued her, and she had slapped him.

All of it was real, not a dream.

Lin Xinlan’s pupils contracted slightly, a mix of relief for having survived the ordeal and fear of Rong Shaoze filled her heart.

He really wasn’t human...

Staying by his side, she would eventually be tormented to death by him.

Lin Xinlan bit her lip tightly, struggling to control her emotions for a while before slowly calming down.

Sitting up, she felt a terrible headache, likely due to a cold or fever, and her throat was very dry and painful, as if it was on fire.

She covered her aching chest and coughed twice; when she lifted the covers to get out of bed, the door was pushed open at that exact moment.

Rong Shaoze walked in carrying a bowl of medicine, just in time to see her attempting to get out of bed.

He quickly spoke to stop her, "Stay seated, don’t move."

Lin Xinlan paused, and although she had braced herself, the sight of his face still made her stiffen and turn pale.

"Your body hasn’t recovered yet; go back to bed and don’t get up," he said.

Rong Shaoze placed the medicine on the bedside table and expertly tucked her in, as if he had done this many times before, with movements that were neither clumsy nor reluctant.

Lin Xinlan stared at him and sneered coldly, "Weren’t you trying to drown me? Whether or not my body recovers, why do you care?"

The man looked up at the mockery in her eyes, pursed his lips, and didn’t make too much of it.

He lifted the bowl of herbal medicine, scooped up a spoonful, blew on it, and brought it gently to her mouth, saying softly, "Take the medicine. You’ve caught a cold, and the medicine will help you recover more quickly."

Lin Xinlan frowned slightly, what was he implying?

He slapped her, and now he was offering her candy?

She turned her head away, her tone very cold, "I don’t want it, take it away!"

Rong Shaoze knew she was angry, but he didn’t argue with her and continued to persuade gently, "Are you really not going to take the medicine? If you don’t, you’re the one who will suffer."

"It’s all your fault that I’m like this!" she suddenly shouted, followed by rapid breathing.

She was too weak; just speaking a few words made her feel exhausted.

Rong Shaoze propped her back with two pillows and pressed down on her shoulders to lean her against the bed’s headboard. Lin Xinlan struggled fiercely but reluctantly leaned on the pillows behind her.

"Alright, drink the medicine before you get angry with me. This medicine took two hours to prepare; it’s best to drink it warm for maximum efficacy," he said.

He smiled, scooped another spoonful of medicine, and brought it to her mouth. Lin Xinlan frowned in disgust, forcefully knocking his hand away; the spoon and the bowl in his hand flew out, crashed to the ground, and shattered.

The medicine that had taken two hours to simmer splashed all over the floor, and the room was instantly filled with the scent of herbal medicine.

Rong Shaoze stared at the medicine on the ground, his expression darkening, a trace of gloom flashing in his eyes.

Lin Xinlan waited for his anger to erupt.

He suddenly stood up, looking at her expressionlessly and said indifferently, "I will have someone bring you another bowl."
