Married to the Protagonist
Chapter 32: Are you worried I’ll blow up the kitchen? (1)

For people whose bodies are “cold” in nature, they are more prone to menstrual cramps.

Especially the first two days of their period. They’ll feel soreness in their backs and weakness in their legs. Her tummy was cramping up so much that Chen Jinyao felt like she was going to die.

This terrible sight that almost looked like some sort of terminal illness shocked Yan Cheng. He never studied well in biology class and had never known how terrifying the pain that women could experience during their period.

The warm heater on her tummy didn’t help. It didn’t help even when Yan Cheng pressed his hot palm softly against her tummy. After waking up naturally, it was like Chen Jinyao had her soul sucked away. She was completely listless and curled up, moaning in pain. The even more terrifying part was, even under such half-dead conditions, she still wanted to stay strong and get up for work.

“…” Yan Cheng did not admire her dedication at all. He squinted his eyes and gritted his teeth. Then, he linked his arm around Chen Jinyao’s neck and pulled Chen Jinyao back to the bed with absolute force and casually pulled the blanket off him, throwing it on Chen Jinyao, and wrapping her like a rice dumpling before he finally felt at ease. Turning over, he got on top of Chen Jinyao who was forced to lie down straight. One on top and the other on the bottom, they were separated by the width of a fingertip and facing each other, they were just able to see into each other’s dark eyes.

Chen Jinyao was confused for a moment. “??????”

“Are you so proud of being a model worker?” The man had just woken up a moment ago and there was still some huskiness in his voice. After bringing over the phone from the bedside table, he rolled away from Chen Jinyao and off the bed and, scratching at his messy hair, sat down with his leg crossed over the other. His dark eyelashes lowered. “Can’t you call and ask for a day off?”

His tone was somewhat unhappy and mean.

After that was over, he got up, hopped off bed, and walked to the window after slipping on his slippers.

Meanwhile, he had already memorized her phone’s passcode by heart.

But it seems like it’s more than just the passcode he was familiar with.

Everything past the passcode was also things that Yan Cheng was familiar with.

Only

Under Chen Jinyao’s dumbfounded gaze, Yan Cheng quickly found the landline number of her clinic and glancing up at her, dialed the number.

The usual beginning of the clinic’s workday was 9 o’clock. It was currently 7:40, which meant it was still early. But usually, the nurses on duty such as Xiao Liu and Xiao Li would leave early. They were housemates and for the sake of convenience, both of them stayed only a ten-minute walk away from the clinic. It was very close.

Xiao Liu had just opened the shutters at this moment, and after pulling them up, she heard the phone at the front desk ring. She thought it was a patient here to make an early appointment, but she would never have expected that it would be a call for leave from the person who paid her salary.

“My wife isn’t feeling well today so she won’t be coming in to work.”

Then, while she was still recovering from the shock and couldn’t even respond, the call was cut off.

The beeping sound lingering in her ears as she wondered.

Not feeling well? Where? How did she end up unwell?

My god, resisting the urge to scream, Xiao Liu’s face reddened instantly, thinking that she had just learned of a great secret.
