Bite & Slap

"Didn't I specifically warned you not to work after 5? Why are you still in the study?" Jie's roaring voice startled Xu Mey so much that she almost jumped.

"Sheesh! Ah-Jie, you scared me!" Xu Mey placed her hand over her heart to calm it down. Jie didn't budge from his place, he just stared her down from his position. He was leaning against her study room's doorframe.

Since no one allowed Xu Mey to go back to the company, she could only make do with working from home. But even working from home had restrictions. She was tired of eating, taking walks and sleeping. There was nothing else to do!

"Baby, why can't you take care of yourself?" He was reprimanding her in a soft voice.

"I'm tired of resting. I feel like I'll start rusting up. I can't do that." Xu Mey whined like a kid.

Jie rubbed his forehead and kneeled down in front of her chair. He held her foot and shook his head, "Look, your feet are all swollen up. I told you to prop up your feet. But you don't listen."
