She Was Uneasy Because He Did Not Use Protection.

"Are you thinking about another man while in my bed? Mm?" He sounded threatening.

It seemed that every man cared a lot about the thoughts of their lady partners.

"Mr. Fu is mistaken. I'm thinking about another girl." Luo Nanchu was wondering if he treated all the women he had bedded the same way he treated her.

Fu Tingyuan squinted a little and pinched her very hard at the waist.

Luo Nanchu scoffed laughingly, wrapped her hands around the back of his neck, and kissed him.

"… Just kidding."

Fu Tingyuan huffed and increased his strength. Luo Nanchu let out a muffled groan while her eyebrows furrowed in pain. Unable to withstand the agony, she turned her head to the side and puffed in the cold air.

It still hurt after so many encounters.

Every time she slept with him, she could never figure out which hurt more: her heart or her body.

He seemed to be really displeased with how she had been staring blankly just now and thrusted punitively. At first, Nanchu could still bear the pain, but it soon overwhelmed her, and she started scratching and biting him as she wailed. Fu Tingyuan then grabbed her wrists and roughly pinned them above her head.

Luo Nanchu drifted between consciousness and wavered between willingness to live or die, all because of him.

"Beast… Beast…"

She broke down bawling, but he kissed her, swallowing the sounds of her wails.

…

This round of intense intercourse went on until midnight.

Fu Tingyuan held her in his embrace as they went to the bathroom to clean up. She was still sobbing like an aggrieved cat.

He cleaned the stains on her body and instructed a servant to change the bedsheets before bringing her to bed.

Luo Nanchu dropped down on it and slept on the edge of the bed. It was as if she were trying to keep her distance from him.

Fu Tingyuan did not pay her any mind.

He merely got into bed, turned off the lights, and fell asleep.

In the wee hours of the morning, Fu Tingyuan felt a small tremor next to him.

He opened his eyes and saw Luo Nanchu sitting up very cautiously and lifting the blanket to get out of bed.

Barefoot, she walked to the dressing table and took something out. After that, she poured a glass of water and swallowed it.

He squinted his eyes. Through the hazy light of the bedside lamp, he saw the name on the bottle of medicine that she had placed on the table.

Min Ting.

A contraceptive pill.

Upon eating the medicine, she carefully put the bottle back in its place and turned around.

Fu Tingyuan shut his eyes.

Luo Nanchu came back to the bed, lifted the blanket, and got back under.

He reached out and placed his hand on her waist, wrapping around her body and hugging her tightly.

After a while, he opened his eyes.

Luo Nanchu had fallen back asleep. She looked peaceful and was sleeping soundly.

His gaze fell upon her lips as he recalled how she took the contraceptive pill.

She was uneasy because he did not use protection.

Her unease was to the extent that she woke up in the middle of the night just to take a contraceptive pill.

Fu Tingyuan's gaze concealed unutterable thoughts.
