[2] The Warm Breeze is not as Warm as You

Chapter 275

He slowly and huskily said, "What are you used to? Wriggling on the bed like a shrimp, were you intentionally trying to cause my heart to ache?"

Jennie's expression darkened. "You're the one who looks like a shrimp!"

Lisa's hand remained pressed against her abdomen as he gently kissed her cheek. Jennie did not resist as she was held in his embrace, but her eyes were narrowed. "Even if you want to take advantage of someone, you have to check if the situation is appropriate. At such a time, you're still trying to take advantage of me. You're truly inhumane."

Lisa paused in his movements and lost his smile. "I've done plenty of inhumane things. Does it matter if I add one more?"

"Ss... move your hand away!" His palm was pressed against her abdomen and seemed to carry an unending amount of heat. In her vulnerable state, it brought out her desire to depend on him, and Jennie instinctively resisted such a feeling.

He held her without letting go and further tightened his grip. As Jennie glared at him, he bent close to her ear to speak softly, "My apologies. I didn't expect that your period routine would change, nor did I expect it to clash with our arranged schedules. If you're really uncomfortable, we can reduce the workload. There's no need to make things difficult for yourself."

Jennie pursed her lips. "There's nothing to apologize for. I know my own body well. This small problem isn't anything to fuss about. I'll be fine after I sleep for another day or two."

She knew that Lisa had memorized the days her period usually occurred.

Three years ago, her period was stable and always occurred on the same days.

However, after she moved to England, her emotional state and other complications affected her. Her period became unstable for several months, either arriving much earlier or much later. When it finally stabilised again, it no longer repeated on the same days as it did three years ago.

In fact, Jennie could have chosen not to come to Jing City. However, although she was still somewhat mad at Lisa, she hadn't been irrational enough to throw such a good opportunity away.

In the end, it turned out that she had neglected to realize that her period was only a few days away and had failed to consider her body's situation.

It was truly akin to smashing a rock onto one's own feet. She failed to harm anyone, but nearly harmed herself to death!

Right now, her creased face looked like a bun; she was frustrated and hurting. Seeing her childlike appearance, Lisa pinched her chin and couldn't help but admit that three years of absence truly made it difficult for the man to restrain himself further. However, the little woman in his arms was in a special circumstance. He could only watch but could not touch. At the sight of her discomfort, he spoke softly with a tightened voice, "I'll warm up your stomach for you. Close your eyes if you wish to sleep."

"How do you expect me to sleep with you here?"

The man lifted one corner of his lips. "If you won't sleep, how about we kiss for a little longer? When a woman's period of pain is far too serious, it is similar to being too nervous. This means that the more you direct your focus to the pain, the more it will hurt. Why not do something else? The moment your body and mind feel happy, it'll release more chemicals. Exciting the brain cells can also lead to pain-reducing effects."

Jennie: "..."

Which doctor came up with such forced reasoning?

She quickly shifted her face away in case he really kissed her. Under the faint light, Lisa could not see her face clearly, but the little woman was stifled with anger, and the way she angled her body away from his was sufficient for him to guess her current mood.
