Secretly Married to the Ice-Cold CEO-Chapter 409: Not So Difficult to Get Along With

Chapter 409: Chapter 409: Not So Difficult to Get Along With

Yu Zheng searched online about dysmenorrhea, and what he found truly shocked him. Most of the descriptions from female netizens were "so painful I want to die."

You Lifen had no idea what he was looking at. From his complicated expression, she was afraid he wouldn’t believe her. She clutched her lower abdomen and squirmed on the sofa, "I’m in so much pain I’m going to die..."

Yu Zheng was a bit flustered. He went to pour her a cup of warm water, "Drink some warm water first."

You Lifen, barely holding on, said weakly, "I can’t get up, help me."

Yu Zheng didn’t hesitate. He sat down and helped her up, and You Lifen leaned against his chest.

Yu Zheng held the cup to her mouth, his arm half-wrapped around her, making it look like he was holding her.

He didn’t think too much, just wanted her to quickly drink the warm water. He had heard that warm water cures dysmenorrhea, "Come on, careful, it’s hot."

You Lifen curled up in his embrace. Seeing her pale complexion and softened expression, Yu Zheng’s voice subconsciously became gentler.

You Lifen looked up at him. For the first time, she saw such worry in his eyes. Her lips quivered, and tears of pretense fell.

Yu Zheng was at a loss, "What’s wrong? I can’t do anything if you cry, I’m not a doctor! How about I take you to the hospital?"

You Lifen cried while drinking water, "No need for the hospital, I just need to lie down."

Yu Zheng said, "Drink slowly, don’t choke yourself."

You Lifen felt stifled. It was hard enough to create a romantic atmosphere, could he be a bit more gentle with his words?

She sighed inwardly, oh well, she loved him after all.

If he wasn’t like this, he might have been snagged by another woman long ago, and she wouldn’t even have a chance.

After finishing a cup of warm water, You Lifen, eyes brimming with tears, said, "I’m hungry."

Yu Zheng couldn’t cook, and the kitchen looked like a battlefield now. He didn’t want to step into it at all.

He took out his phone to order takeout. You Lifen said, "I only eat takeout from the hotel."

Hearing her demands, Yu Zheng raised his hand, wanting to knock her head. You Lifen groaned, "I’m in so much pain, I’m going to die..."

Yu Zheng couldn’t bring himself to do it. He called Huadun Hotel, which never delivered takeout. When the manager heard it was Assistant Yu, "Alright, I’ll deliver it personally."

Yu Zheng said, "Make sure it’s light, no spice at all."

Nestled on the sofa, You Lifen had figured out Yu Zheng’s temper. As long as she acted pitiful enough, he would show some mercy.

"Yu Zheng, I want a hot water bottle."

There wasn’t such a thing in his apartment. Yu Zheng asked, "Anything else?"

You Lifen thought for a moment, "No, that’s all."

Yu Zheng went to the supermarket again, conveniently buying a lot of daily essentials.

Seeing Yu Zheng running errands for her, You Lifen’s happiness soared. If she could cling to him like this every day, how wonderful it would be.

After plugging in the hot water bottle, You Lifen hugged it to her lower abdomen, sighing comfortably.

When the hotel delivered the takeout, Yu Zheng was too busy to be angry, "Can you eat by yourself?"

You Lifen realized she couldn’t push too far, "I can eat by myself."

She got up and sipped the soup slowly. Yu Zheng helped by serving food to her. You Lifen didn’t like eating bell peppers, grumbling, "Why give bell peppers..."

Yu Zheng glared at her, and she immediately stuffed the food into her mouth, "I’m not picky at all."

Despite saying she wasn’t picky, she barely chewed before swallowing it whole, looking like she was being punished but didn’t dare resist.

Yu Zheng felt a strange sensation in his heart. This young lady wasn’t that hard to get along with, sometimes she was even... quite cute.

He generously said, "If you really don’t like it, don’t eat it."

You Lifen, feeling like she heard the sweetest words, smiled at him, "Yu Zheng, you’re so nice."

That smile was brighter than sunlight, with a touch of dependence. Yu Zheng’s heart skipped a beat, and he looked away, "Hurry up and eat."

You Lifen had never had such a good appetite. To look good on camera, she had been dieting all along. Now, eating with Yu Zheng, she unknowingly ate twice as much as usual.

After eating, You Lifen felt dejected. How much exercise would it take to shed these calories?

She sat on the sofa looking disheartened. Yu Zheng, not knowing she was thinking these nonsensical thoughts, assumed she was unwell.

Not being a doctor and feeling powerless, he could only say, "Rest well for a while."

Yu Zheng called a part-time hourly maid to come up and clean the kitchen. You Lifen, fearing the maid might recognize her, slipped into the bedroom, "I’m sleeping on the bed tonight."

Yu Zheng opened the wardrobe to find clothes. Seeing him pack clothes into a nylon bag, You Lifen anxiously asked, "Are you going on a business trip?"

"I’m going to stay at the hotel."

The living room sofa couldn’t accommodate him. He hadn’t slept well on the sofa last night and wasn’t planning to do it again tonight.

You Lifen grabbed his arm, "You can’t leave me alone. What if I need water or if I fall? It could be fatal... I’m a big star, have you ever heard of a star dying from dysmenorrhea? It would be the greatest loss to the entertainment industry!"

Yu Zheng brushed off her hand, "Have some shame, will you?" He had never seen anyone so arrogant.

You Lifen wiped her tears and snot on his shirt, "I don’t care, you can’t leave me alone, boohoo..."

The part-time maid in the kitchen heard the woman’s cries and thought, oh dear, did Mr. Yu lure a woman up here?

She had been in charge of Mr. Yu’s apartment cleanliness for years, and it was her first time seeing a woman in his apartment. Well, that’s more like a normal man, isn’t it?

She used to think Mr. Yu might like men!

The maid quickly cleaned the kitchen and left. Being experienced, she knew she should leave the two of them some space.

Mr. Yu would surely appreciate it.

Yu Zheng was defeated by You Lifen. With her acting all pitiful, leaving her alone here seemed inappropriate.

"Let go."

"No, I won’t."

Yu Zheng, exuding cold air, asked, "Do you plan to sleep like this tonight?"

You Lifen eyed him, "You’re not leaving?"

"No."

You Lifen warned, "You better not sneak off, or I’ll... report to the police that you bullied me and invite the media. Even with your Gu Family’s PR, it won’t be resolved."

Yu Zheng wanted to strangle her, "You Lifen, you’re such... a curse to anyone who meets you!"

What wouldn’t she be capable of?

You Lifen let him go, hiding under the blanket, "Who says you’re cursed? Meeting me is your greatest fortune. I’m not interested in other men."

Yu Zheng took his pajamas to shower, "Don’t bother me again."

Tucked in bed, You Lifen didn’t dare fall asleep, keeping an eye on the bathroom door.

Yu Zheng came out of the shower and sat at the table, opening his laptop, seemingly to do some work.

You Lifen lay at the foot of the bed, in a position where she could see his profile.

She cupped her cheeks, thinking Yu Zheng looked incredibly handsome just after his shower!
