Wen Haotian had disappeared again. But according to eyewitnesses, they saw an Oriental man being chased in the park. Presumably, the chasers were after Wen Haotian. Now he was like a rat scurrying across the street, being hunted wherever he went.
Moreover, Su Yuze was secretly investigating Wen Haotian's whereabouts. As soon as Wen Haotian showed up, Ian would immediately inform the bosses of other companies. Then Wen Haotian would have to go on the run again.
"Brother Ze, Wen Haotian will surely be driven to death by you guys one day," Su Rou said. She thought that Wen Haotian would not be tortured to death by hepatitis in the future, but by Su Yuze.
"Do you feel sorry for him?" Su Yuze asked rhetorically.
"No, I just think... you're quite naughty," Su Rou replied. He could have just ended Wen Haotian's misery right away, but instead, he was like a cat playing with a mouse, first teasing it to let it feel the fear, and then devouring it.
"Then, do you like me being naughty?"
Su Rou spread out her hands. "Brother Ze, you're getting more and more narcissistic."
"Isn't there a saying that goes, 'Women love bad boys'?" Su Yuze leaned close to Su Rou's ear and gently bit her small earlobe. "Actually, little Rou, you're crazy about me, aren't you?"
Su Rou pushed his face away. "Shameless!"
"Hehe..." Su Yuze couldn't help laughing.
"By the way, Brother Ze, I just remembered something..." Su Rou slightly frowned.
"What's up?"
"I seem to have stopped taking my medicine for a long time." Ever since she was sent to the hospital by Wen Haotian last time, Su Rou had stopped taking the Chinese medicine for her uterine cold. It had been more than half a month.
If she hadn't calculated the date and felt that her period was coming soon, she probably wouldn't have noticed.
Chinese medicine needed to be taken consistently to be effective. Once she stopped, all the previous efforts might have been in vain.
Su Rou touched her lower abdomen. She wasn't afraid of menstrual cramps. What she was worried about was that if her body continued like this, it might affect her future fertility.
Su Yuze also remembered that they had indeed forgotten about it recently. Calculating the time, it seemed that little Rou's period was coming soon. He wondered if she would still have menstrual cramps. "Do you feel uncomfortable?"
"No, my period hasn't come yet."
"I calculated that it's coming soon. Don't touch anything cold during this time, okay?" Su Yuze instructed. He hoped that little Rou wouldn't have any pain this time. Every time he saw her suffering from menstrual cramps, he felt so heart - broken that he wished he could take the pain for her.
Actually, whether they had a child or not didn't matter much to him. What was important was that she was healthy and pain - free for the rest of her life.
"Okay, I know." Su Rou nodded obediently.
"I'll go buy the medicine for you tomorrow and hire a nanny." He wasn't very good at boiling medicine.
"Okay." Su Rou smiled. "Brother Ze, it's me who's going to have my period. Don't be so nervous." His nervousness made it seem as if he was the one who was going to have menstrual cramps.
Su Yuze ruffled Su Rou's hair. "I actually wish I could have my period for you."
"..." Su Rou was silent for a few seconds. Then she imagined Su Yuze having his period and couldn't help laughing so hard that her stomach hurt and tears welled up in her eyes.
"What are you laughing at?"
"Nothing... I just thought of what you'd look like if you had your period." It was so funny. Women were given the ability to bear children by God, while men weren't. If a man got pregnant and had his period, he'd be regarded as a monster.
Su Yuze didn't really care. After Su Rou stopped laughing for a while, she said, "We can't forget about it again in the future. I still want to have a baby someday." It would be nice to have a boy... just like Brother Ze.
"It doesn't matter if we don't have a baby."
"No, it does matter. I don't want you to regret it someday," Su Rou said. She was afraid that he would regret falling in love with such a troublesome girl like her.
Su Yuze leaned over and kissed her forehead. "Little Rou, from the day I picked you up, there has been no such thing as'regret' in my life." He didn't regret using little Rou to deceive Aunt Nuan. He didn't regret going against Grandpa for her. And he definitely didn't regret falling in love with her.
"… Thank you," Su Rou said softly, gradually putting away her smile.
"It's still early to have a baby. First, take good care of your body."
"Okay."
...
After Su Rou rejected the tall, blond boy Dean last time, the girls in the finance class started whispering about her behind her back. Although they didn't mean any harm, their looks at her were not very kind.
"Little Rou, I feel like they're talking about you," Jiang Ling whispered.
"Yeah, I've noticed too. But we don't need to care about them," Su Rou said, shaking her head. She didn't have much time left here anyway, so she might as well learn as much as she could.
"Okay." Although Jiang Ling was a bit annoyed, it was normal to be excluded by some people in a foreign country. Even when he first came here, he had received strange looks from some classmates. Although they didn't say anything to his face, they must have said a lot behind his back.
As long as they didn't gossip in front of them, he could tolerate it.
After school in the afternoon, two girls sitting behind Su Rou packed their books and stood up. One of them put her hand on Su Rou's shoulder. "Hi."
"Hmm?" Su Rou turned around. "Are you talking to me?"
"Was the boy who came to sit in on the class this morning your boyfriend?" the girl asked.
"Ah, he is..."
The girl next to her interrupted Su Rou. "Of course he's her boyfriend. Come on!" She rolled her eyes at her friend and then said to Su Rou, "Hey, yellow - skinned girl. I'm doing you a favor by telling you this. You'd better not get too close to Dean. He's not a good guy."
"Dean?" Was he the boy who had invited her to his birthday party last time?
"Yeah, I'm only telling you this because you seem like a naive girl. If you already have a boyfriend, don't get involved with Dean," the girl said, with an exaggerated expression, as if showing her disgust for Dean.
Su Rou was a bit confused. She had thought these two girls would be rude to her, but instead, they were giving her... quite reasonable advice. But what did it mean?
"Okay, just remember this. We're leaving." The two girls waved at Su Rou as they spoke.
Su Rou was a bit puzzled, but she still waved back. "Goodbye."
Watching their backs as they walked away, Su Rou shrugged. Maybe they liked Dean, so they were telling her these things out of the blue. But even if they hadn't said anything, she wouldn't have gotten close to Dean anyway.
