Ms. Tan Is The Real Boss

Zhuang Liu wanted to go straight into the women’s washroom, but he couldn’t go in yet. What if there was someone else in the women’s washroom? Others would think that he was a pervert.

“Xiao Rou, do you have a stomachache? Wiry aren’t you talking?” Zhuang Liu asked again.

Tan Rou had no strength left. She tidied up her clothes and struggled to get up to open the bathroom door. As she was a little dizzy, the door made a lot of noise when she opened it.

Zhuang Liu was very nervous. He shouted from outside, “Is there anyone in the women’s bathroom?”

Other than Tan Rou’s voice, no other voice answered him.

Zhuang Liu quickly walked into the women’s washroom and found Tan Rou’s location based on the sound. He knocked on the door and said, “Rourou, what’s wrong?”

Tan Rou didn’t answer him. She just knocked on the door.

Zhuang Liu was very anxious. “Stand back. I’ll kick the door open.”

The toilet was small. If Zhuang Liu kicked the door in, he would hurt Tan Rou, so Tan Rou could not let him kick the door.

“Wait a moment, I’ll go out right away.” Tan Rou’s voice was very soft. From her voice, one could tell that there was something wrong with her body. “The space inside is relatively small. If you kick the door, you will kick me into the wall.”

Even though Zhuang Liu was very worried about Tan Rou, he still did as she said. “Okay, I’ll wait for you outside.”

Tan Rou used her trembling hands to unlock the lock in the toilet. She regretted not bringing silver needles today. If she had, she could have inserted a few needles into her acupoints to reduce her pain.

When she finally opened the toilet door, Tan Rou had already lost all her strength. At this moment, she looked like she had just been fished out of water. Her entire body was soaked in sweat.

Zhuang Liu was worried sick and went up to hug her. “Rourou, where are you feeling unwell?”

Tan Rou opened her eyes and said weakly, “My stomach… It hurts…”

After saying that, she fainted.

Zhuang Liu kept calling her name and rushed her to the hospital. He did not alert the Tao family because today was Tao Zhi and Tian Tian’s wedding day. He could not disturb them. Besides, he was Tan Rou’s husband, so he could take care of her.

The doctor first asked about the situation and then carefully examined Tan Rou. The answer was that Tan Rou ate too little staple food and drank too many iced drinks and alcohol, causing acute inflammation. Zhuang Liu thought that they had woken up too early today and had no time to eat breakfast. At noon, because they had to toast, Tan Rou drank a lot of alcohol and iced drinks. He should have noticed this long ago.

The doctor gave Tan Rou an IV drip and instructed Zhuang Liu, “Don’t eat anything spicy or cold for the next week. Don’t eat raw food, especially marinated seafood. Have a soft diet for now. Don’t take anything that’s too hot too or else your stomach won’t be able to take it.”

Zhuang Liu answered one by one. “Thank you, doctor.”

About half an hour later, Tan Rou woke up. She lay on the bed, and her stomach didn’t hurt as much anymore.

“Rourou, how are you feeling?” Zhuang Liu asked.

Tan Rou shook her head and smiled. “My stomach doesn’t hurt that much anymore.”

Zhuang Liu said, “You’re suffering from acute gastritis. You probably didn’t eat anything in the morning and ate too much cold food in the afternoon.”

Tan Rou felt that her body wasn’t that weak. It wasn’t to the extent that she would get acute gastritis after skipping two meals. Suddenly, she thought of something. “It should be my period. During my period, my immune system will become weaker. Plus, I can’t eat cold food before and after my period. It’s been too hot these two days, and today’s situation is special, so I forgot that I can’t eat cold things before and after my period.”

Zhuang Liu blamed himself. “It’s all my fault. I don’t even know when your period is at. I’m incompetent. Xiao Rou, tell me your period. I will remember it next time.”

Tan Rou blushed. “This is my own business. There’s no need for you to remember it.”

Zhuang Liu insisted, “No, I must know! Fortunately, I’m by your side this time. If I’m not by your side next time, what will you do?”

Tan Rou wanted to say, ‘It won’t happen next time.’ But when she saw Zhuang Liu’s eyes, she couldn’t bring herself to say it.
