Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess-Chapter 533 - Sudden Change

Chapter 533 Sudden Change

It was no wonder that the young masters and misses in television dramas were all well-educated since young. They would have gone through a lot of hard work to achieve beautiful handwritings.

Now that she was considered a half invalid…

Sigh, Lin Mengya scrunched up the calligraphy paper filled with more recognizable characters after much hard work, tossing it into the trash can, feeling demoralized.

In the past hour, the number of scrunched up paper balls increased quickly.

“Don’t get all tensed up when you’re holding the brush. Keep your hand steady and use the strength of the wrist to move the brush. Take your time instead of rushing it.”

A warm, large hand with slender long fingers suddenly came down on Lin Mengya’s delicate, trembling hand.

All of a sudden, a mellow, rich voice sounded by her ear and it made her heart melt.

While Long Tianyu held on to her hand, explaining to her the important points regarding calligraphy writing, Lin Mengya felt overwhelmed by his tender treatment towards her.

In that instance, they were drawn close to each other. Although only her back was in contact with his chest, Long Tianyu’s body heat made Lin Mengya restless and her heartbeat began pounding.

She could not help but stole a glance at Long Tianyu’s profile. Cursing under her breath for being so useless, she told herself that he had merely come to guide her in writing calligraphy. What on earth was she thinking about?

She forced herself to calm down by pinching herself.

“The secret to practicing calligraphy is to have a calm heart. That way, your hand will follow your heart and you will get it in one go.”

With Long Tianyu’s personal guidance, Lin Mengya’s right hand stopped trembling.

With the power from this gentle yet firm guidance, she found that every stroke she made was smooth and flowing.

Finally, she was able to move the brush in a fluid motion. Her writing may not be a standardized form, however, the simple character, which meant “big” began to appear vividly on the calligraphy paper.

“It truly got so much better!”

Lin Mengya almost cried out in excitement when she saw the most beautiful calligraphy she ever made in her entire life.

Long Tianyu’s lips curled up into a smile as he gazed at the girl who appeared to be so satisfied with her handwriting. He could not help but shook his head.

She was truly an oddball.

He used to think that she was merely a money face.

To his surprise, it turned out that in her eyes, those riches were merely like mist that disappeared quickly.

On one hand, it seemed that she was so innocent and without guile, on the other hand, she was full of tricks up her sleeves and he was nowhere as ruthless as her.

Now that she was rejoicing over just being able to write a presentable character.

She was truly one of a kind.

“Alright, shall we call it a day? Your right arm barely recovered. Don’t overwork it, otherwise, it might cause more harm than good.”

Long Tianyu took the brush from her hand and cast it down forcefully. Lin Mengya had spent the night engaging in this boring writing practice.

From how she found it laborious just taking up the brush to now when people hardly tell that she was forcing herself, but Long Tianyu had spotted the beads of perspiration on her snow-white forehead.

This lass never expressed the difficulties she was facing easily.

Nevertheless, Long Tianyu was pained seeing how persistent and hard on herself she was.

“Alright, I’m tired now anyway. Why don’t we rest early? Are you going to make your bed on the floor or sleep on the bed tonight?”

Lin Mengya dodged and slipped out of Long Tianyu’s embrace cheekily.

Lin Mengya gazed mischievously at Long Tianyu as she waited for his response.

For the past few nights, they had been sharing a bed while they slept.

Although nothing enchanting had happened, Long Tianyu could no longer suppress the feeling of having her in his arms. It had become a habit.

He had thought that Lin Mengya was shy about it, but she began preparing the bed by taking out a blanket and pillow.

“I… I’ll sleep on the bed then.”

Slightly taken aback, Long Tianyu fixed his gaze at Lin Mengya as she made the bed.

Then again, he thought he had been thinking too much when he saw the mischievous smile on the lass’s face.

He approached her, intending to embrace her, but to his surprise, Lin Mengya turned and escaped like a slippery eel.

“Go to sleep quickly. Good night!”

Lin Mengya, who stood by the door of the inner chamber, waved her hand at him innocently.

In that instant, Long Tianyu’s displeasure dissipated at the sight of her.

This girl was always so intelligent and he wondered what she was hiding up her sleeves this time.

Smiling and nodding, he sat on the bed and watched as she gently closed the door of the inner chamber.

However, once in the inner chamber, the smile on Lin Mengya’s lips gradually disappeared.

Flinging herself onto the bed, Long Tianyu’s scent still lingered in her nostrils.

Right now, she felt as if something was missing when she was so used to being in his embrace.

Even she did not understand why she was feeling so awkward all of a sudden.

Could it be because that time of the month was approaching?

She laid down on the bed, feeling both a little melancholic and panicky.

In reality, she was fully aware that she was feeling unsettled.

It was all because of the answer Long Tianyu gave her.

While she knew that Long Tianyu had a soft spot for her, at the same time, she also knew that he would not live an ordinary life.

It was not that she really wanted Long Tianyu to keep her company in the Nation of Lintian and live like a commoner. Just like her, he could not simply let go of the national affairs of his country.

However, once Long Tianyu ascended the throne, even if she was the woman by his side whom he loved most, how could she, who had been through modern education, live her life sharing her husband with other women?

Perhaps this was not a big deal for the people here. Some so-called virtuous wives would even take the initiative to look for concubines for her husband.

She would never be able to do that.

However, she knew very clearly that once Long Tianyu ascended the throne, matters in the imperial harem would be considered state affairs and not family affairs.

By then, even if Long Tianyu was reluctant to take concubines, the government officials would not agree.

Unfortunately, she was not an impulsive person. Her rationality gave her the ability to see the problems clearly while staying cool about them.

If there were to be other women who came forward to fight for Long Tianyu with her, she would surely resort to something deemed ruthless and cruel by others given her character.

One could not judge her as ruthless, rather, love was supposed to be selfish.

Long Tianyu might be able to protect her now, but what would happen when he becomes the ruler of the country?

Would she be the only one he loved in the imperial harem?

It was not so much that she lacked self-confidence, neither was it because she did not trust Long Tianyu. Rather, this was a problem that existed between them that had to deal with head-on.

Before she could figure this problem out, she thought it was better to keep a distance between them.

Otherwise, she might deal harshly with Long Tianyu if she was overcome by her brutish nature one day.

Just thinking about this made her flush.

What if they bedded each other before she got her thoughts clear on this? Given her character, she would be very possessive over Long Tianyu and would want to have his exclusive love.

Heavens! This was a truly difficult problem!

On the other side of the door, Long Tianyu, who had fallen into a light sleep could hear Lin Mengya sighing as well as tossing and turning on her bed.

What on earth was the lass doing?

If Long Tianyu knew that at this moment, his wife was contemplating running away and pushing him away, he might laugh wryly and then—

Whether he might go along with her or try to stop her would be a problem in itself.

After the night passed, when they were having breakfast together the following morning, Zuo Qiuyu and Yu An felt something abnormal between the two of them.

They used to act intimately around each other even when people were watching. They usually did whatever they felt like doing even if their act brought goosebumps to others around them.

However, the two appeared displeased at this moment and they were acting awkwardly around each other.

Did they have a fight?

That was impossible given that they did not hear any stir the night before.

He scooped a mouthful of rice and stuffed it in his mouth.

The pair was really acting strange.

“I’m full. You go ahead and enjoy the food.”

Lin Mengya took some bites haphazardly but felt that she did not have much appetite.

She had spent the night worrying and on the second day, she could not help but come out to meet them with dark circles around her eyes.

Now that her mind was totally messed up, she needed a good sleep.

After letting her imagination run away with herself, she had started avoiding Long Tianyu without being aware of it herself.

Whether Long Tianyu cast her a loving look or spoke to her with a tender tone, Lin Mengya could not help feeling a deep sense of frustration towards them.

She was afraid that one day when she could no longer withstand it, she would seek her own doom by trying to possess Long Tianyu by force, disregarding every other danger.

If she turned into the shrew Long Tianyu detested, would he dote on her like before?

She could not fathom what she would do if Long Tianyu grew tired of her one day.

The most frightening of all would be if she became insane to the extreme.

This was more so for her.

She had no other choice but to run away in order to protect herself as well as Long Tianyu.

Love was never a battlefield for people to launch attacks.

There was a feeling of sadness in her heart. Sometimes, she would rather her not be so clear-minded.

“Sigh, you haven’t eaten much, Mengya— how fast she escaped! Did you two quarrel, Long Tianyu?”

Zuo Qiuyu called after Long Tianyu, but she had run away too quickly.

It was as if she had been pursued by some ghost.

Zuo Qiuyu turned around to cast Long Tianyu a quizzical look and blurted out the question.

“I… no, we didn’t.”

Long Tianyu, who was as perplexed as Zuo Qiuyu, shook his head.

They were still getting along so well yesterday after. How did the situation turn to this after one night?

He had always failed to understand women. Moreover given Lin Mengya’s way of thinking, he was completely clueless about what she was thinking.

He could not help but began to feel frustration rising from within.

Unbeknownst to Long Tianyu, who was never bothered about how others think of him, he wished he could become a parasite in Lin Mengya’s stomach so he could understand all her thoughts.

“Cough, cough, did you sleep on separate beds last night?”
