Chapter 17: “Shian.” She Called Him Intimately

She walked towards the bed and sat down, then grabbed Mo Shian's hand and held it in hers. She had to explain her actions.

"Shian." She called him intimately.

Mo Shian felt his mind go blank at the way Weiwei addressed him. She had never called him so intimately before. He felt a familiar warmth snake towards his abdomen but it soon cooled down when he remembered how she had reacted to his touch.

He lifted his eyes and looked at her face without saying anything. His expression still carried the hurt he felt even though he tried to hide it.

"Am sorry about the way I reacted, am sorry for pushing you away so rudely." Weiwei continued.

"I just….my body reacted faster than my brain. My aunt Flo came early and I just wanted to take care of it. It's not that I don't want you to touch me."

Mo Shian knew that when she said aunt flo she meant her period, but, her period wasn't due for three more days. Did the fever cause her cycle to change? He had completely forgotten about his hurt feelings and was now worrying about whether something wrong had happened to change her menstrual cycle.

"Are you okay? Why did your period come three days earlier? Do you feel uncomfortable? Is your stomach hurting?" he fired several questions at once with a worried expression on his face. Weiwei couldn't help but smile. She didn't know whether to answer them or just laugh at his adorable behavior. He had a sullen expression a moment ago and now he was fussing over her like a mother hen.

" I'm fine, I don't know why my period came early, maybe due to mood swings." She couldn't tell him she was reborn and that might be the reason for the change now. Could she?

"Alright, come on, lie down. I am going to make you brown sugar water." Mo Shian said as he got out of bed and helped Weiwei lie down, then covered her with a sheet and went to put on his clothes, then left the bedroom to go make brown sugar water.

Weiwei didn't argue or persuade him not to bother because she knew he wouldn't listen. Gu Yan was right, anything that concerns her turns him into an idiot. Mo Shian came back a few minutes later with a cup of brown sugar water and helped her sit down, then proceeded to feed her. He wouldn't even let her hold the cup. Once she emptied the cup, he tucked her back into bed again and left with the empty cup. He came back soon with a hot water bottle. He lifted the covers and placed it on her stomach.

"This will help you feel more comfortable. Sleep for a while, then when you wake up, breakfast will be ready."

"Okay, what time are you leaving for work? It's almost seven, you will be late." Said Weiwei.

"Am seeing off CEO Clinton at the airport at 9.00 AM. I'll leave for the airport in an hour then go to the office from there." Replied Mo Shian.

"Alright, have a lovely day at work."

"Okay, remember to call me if you need anything. I'll come to you in a jiffy." Said Mo Shian.

"Don't worry, I will be fine." Weiwei said, then closed her eyes to go back to sleep.

Mo Shian watched her as she closed her eyes and waited until he heard her even breathing before getting up and going to the bathroom to take a shower. He then got dressed in a charcoal grey suit and a black shirt and came out looking like a model in a magazine. He walked towards the bed, then bent down and kissed Weiwei's forehead.

"Get better baby, I'll be off now. See you in the evening." He said before straightening his back and walking out of the room.

When he walked out of the room, he had a rare smile on his face, even Aunt Wu who was waiting to serve his breakfast at the dining table, couldn't help but comment.

"Young Master, you look happy today."

"Yes Aunt Wu, I am very happy today."

"How is the Young Madam?" Aunt Wu asked.

"She is okay, but her period came early. Remember to make her nutritious food and don't let anyone disturb her. She needs to rest."

"Rest assured Young Master, I will take good care of the Young Madam." Promised Aunt Wu with a broad smile on her face.

She could tell that things were getting better between the couple and the happy times were returning to the house. She couldn't wait to call the Old Madam and 'snitch'. Mo Shian's grandmother had been very worried about the young couple and now that they were doing fine, she would be very happy.

Mo Shian finished his breakfast and left after giving a few more instructions about taking care of Weiwei. He had to get to the airport by 9.00 AM before CEO Clinton boarded his plane.

Weiwei woke up again two hours later feeling better and more comfortable than before. She didn't know whether it was the brown sugar water, the hot water bottle, or the person who had prepared those things that caused her to be in a happier mood too.

She was really grateful for the second chance she had gotten to live a happy life with Mo Shian. Since she had already taken a shower, she just washed her face and brushed her teeth before heading down for breakfast.

Aunt Wu had prepared red date porridge and her favorite pork buns. While she was eating, the butler came in to inform her that Xinya was at the door requesting to see her. Before she could even respond, she heard Xinya's voice in the living room demanding to know why she had been stopped at the door.

"I am Weiwei's sister, why are you preventing me from seeing her?" she demanded with an arrogant voice.
