A hint of embarrassment flashed across Gu Ruoyun's face. Nevertheless, she lifted her head to look at Qianbei Ye's expectant face 1 and nodded in agreement, "Alright."

Qianbei Ye's heart leaped in his chest as he lifted his hand and pulled Gu Ruoyun into his embrace. He then carried her towards the large bed and carefully lay her down. His movements were particularly gentle as if he was holding a precious jewel, afraid that he might accidentally hurt her.

"Yun'er..."

He gently murmured Gu Ruoyun's name then bent down to kiss her lips. As their lips met, he dispersed his mental energy throughout the entire Medicine Manor.

He had clearly raised his vigilance due to his previous failure. If anyone were to get anywhere near this bedchamber, he would sense them immediately.

Gu Ruoyun gently closed her eyes and surrendered herself to Qianbei Ye's gentle kiss. Just as she was at the peak of enjoyment, she felt a warm sensation dribbling from her lower abdomen, causing her body to shake.

"Xiao Ye, I..."

Qianbei Ye released her lips and gazed with deep love at the woman who was lying beneath him. He raised his brows and asked, "What is it? Don't worry, no one will interrupt us now."

"That's not it..." Gu Ruoyun looked a little embarrassed as she replied weakly, "I think it's... It's that time of the month for me."

Qianbei Ye was stunned by Gu Ruoyun's response. He then smelt the faint scent of blood in the air. It was almost discernible as it wafted within the bedchamber...

It was likely that no other man in this world was as unlucky as Qianbei Ye.

During the first time, just as his love had gone into the deep abyss, his own father-in-law had gatecrashed the party and interrupted him. He had no chose but to squash all his urges and restrain himself. This time, he had taken many precautions and refused to let anyone else disturb them. Who would have thought that Gu Ruoyun would end up getting her period now...

Deep down, Qianbei Ye was about to go mad but he did not show it on his face. Instead, he pulled the quilt up onto Gu Ruoyun's body and gently pulled the woman closer into his arms. He then smiled and said, "It's late now, let's get some rest."

Gu Ruoyun nodded gently but could not wipe the embarrassment from her face. She never expected her period to arrive at such an... Unfortunate time...

Qianbei Ye was feeling extremely uncomfortable right now as he was holding his beloved but could not do anything about it. It was an absolutely unbearable feeling yet he could not bring himself to hurt her. All he could do was to concentrate all his spiritual energy into forcibly restraining his urges and pushing them back to where they had come from.

Even though there were many nights when Qianbei Ye had hugged Gu Ruoyun to sleep just like this, Gu Ruoyun had not agreed to surrender herself to him back then. Hence, he had been able to endure it. Now, however, he had clearly received her permission but could not do anything. Who could tolerate this kind of frustration?

Qianbei Ye exhaled and a bitter smile hung on his lips. He pulled his arms closer and held the woman in his arms even tighter.

"Xiao Ye..."

Gu Ruoyun tried to speak but the words would not come to her.

"Yun'er," Qianbei Ye's gaze landed upon the woman's lucid and elegant features. His red eyes were filled with a gentle smile. "As long as I can hold you to sleep, that's enough 2 for me. Don't worry, since you've promised to be with me, I'm not anxious about this moment."

Gu Ruoyun placed her head on the man's chest as a gentle smile played on her lips. "Once I've found Mother, we can get married..."
