Lingxiao held Xiangning in his arms at night, wanting to be intimate with her, but Xiangning refused him.
She caught his hand and spoke in a gentle voice, "I'm not feeling very well."
"What's making you uncomfortable?" Lingxiao propped up his upper body, looking at her anxiously, "Shall I call for a doctor right now?"
"Don't go." Xiangning hurriedly said, "I... It's that..."
"That what?" Lingxiao, seeing her reluctance to speak, grew even more worried, his hand moving toward her stomach, "Is it because you haven't eaten properly all day, and your stomach is uncomfortable?"
"Are you silly?" Xiangning wrapped her arms around his neck and whispered embarrassingly into his ear, "The day before yesterday... you were too... too forceful, and I'm still in pain..."
Lingxiao paused for a moment, realizing what she meant. His gaze shifted downward, and he said somewhat awkwardly, "I'll go find Nanny Yan Xi for some medicine, wait for me."
