Captured Hearts: The Substitute Bride’s Gambit

Chapter 83: Chapter 83 Nosebleed Chapter 83: Chapter 83 Nosebleed Is that not too much?

Sheng Tingyuan shook his head; she was completely different from the Ye family’s eldest daughter he remembered from before.

Now, she created “surprises” for him every single day. He wouldn’t be surprised if she said she was Nezha tomorrow.

As he turned to walk away, at the doorway, he glanced back at Ye Chuyi. Seeing that she had finished one bottle and was about to start another, he casually reminded her, “One bottle per day is enough; two is overdoing it.”

Ye Chuyi: “Are you the doctor, or am I the doctor? If I think two bottles is okay, then it’s okay.”

Sheng Tingyuan watched her finish the second bottle and suddenly smiled, “Well, drink up then, Doctor.”

In the blink of an eye, evening arrived.

The power of two bottles of the nutritional drink became apparent.

Ye Chuyi finally understood why the usually expressionless Sheng Tingyuan had laughed.

She felt somewhat feverish, and inappropriate images kept popping into her mind, sometimes even featuring Tingyuan’s face.

Damn Tingyuan, what on earth did he give her!

No, this was not just a nutritional drink; this was an intense tonic!

She silently covered her burning face with her hands, trying to distract herself with obscure medical terms, afraid she might throw herself at Tingyuan.

The culprit had just come out from the bathroom after a shower, a faint fresh fragrance emanating from him. His hair was wet, and his body, clad only in a towel, had droplets of water on it, looking unbelievably sexy.

Tonight, she would be sharing a room with Tingyuan.

Because Tang Jin had watched them both enter the accompaniment ward, she agreed to take her medicine only after seeing this.

Even if Ye Chuyi wanted to leave, she had to wait until Tang Jin fell asleep, as the accompaniment ward was connected to the main ward, and Tang Jin could see her coming and going.

The problem was, Tang Jin had slept the whole day, so she had no hint of sleepiness at night, and at the moment, was guarding the door with her bodyguard.

As Ye Chuyi pondered, she suddenly felt a warmth in her nose and then a drip; something dropped.

She wiped her nose and saw her hand stained with bright red.

A tissue was passed over: “Doctor, why is your nose bleeding?”

Ye Chuyi took the tissue and glared at him: “It’s all your fault.”

Sheng Tingyuan held back a laugh and passed her a few more tissues: “How is it my fault again? Wasn’t it you who said you’re the doctor and it’s fine to drink two bottles if you feel like it?”

Ye Chuyi angrily wiped the blood from her nose: “What the hell did you give me? Why am I feeling so hot now?”

“Don’t know, my people bought it randomly.”

Ye Chuyi stared at him dumbfounded: “Don’t know? You dare to give something without knowing what it is? Do you even have a conscience?”

“The staff told me this nutritional drink is a bestseller that often goes out of stock. One box costs thirty-six thousand, and I gave you two boxes. How can you say I have no conscience?”

Ye Chuyi was so furious that her nosebleed grew worse—so expensive?

She covered her nose and muttered disgruntledly: “This isn’t a nutritional drink at all, it’s deceitful advertising.”

Sheng Tingyuan tried to contain his amusement at her rather pitiful state, his usually cold tone now laced with three parts teasing: “Going to drink two bottles next time as well, Doctor?”

Ye Chuyi knew he was mocking her. She didn’t respond and went to the bathroom.

Because she felt so unbearably hot, she took a cold shower. After showering, the nosebleed stopped, and the heat had dissipated quite a bit.

She changed into pajamas and left the bathroom.

But as soon as she saw Tingyuan, who was lounging on the bed looking at his phone, the heat inside her started to rise again.

He had also changed into pajamas, a black silk set that made his skin look exceptionally fair. His legs were long, his chest muscles faintly visible, and the skin exposed at the neckline was inexplicably sexy.

His face looked exceptionally handsome under the light, and even the fingers holding his phone appeared long and attractive.

“Demon, why do you have to be so handsome?”

Ye Chuyi muttered under her breath, dragging her feet over to the bed: “Hey, move over a bit. You’re in the middle, where am I supposed to sleep? On the floor?”

Tingyuan didn’t even look up: “That’s an option.”
