After rejecting my celebrity husband

Chapter 2008: Chapter 2012: Are You Okay

Accompanied by the maid, Luo Xiaoqian went upstairs, slowly climbing the stairs to the second floor, and casually turned towards the hallway on the second floor.

Although the maid felt a bit puzzled, she didn’t dare to ask much, just following two steps behind Luo Xiaoqian.

Luo Xiaoqian walked and paused, pretending to admire the paintings on the wall. When she reached near the door of her room, she pretended to retch and then acted as if she was about to vomit, pushing open the door in front of her and rushing towards the bathroom.

The maid didn’t realize she was pretending, just busy gently patting her back.

Luo Xiaoqian straightened up, breathing heavily, took the glass of water handed to her, rinsed her mouth, then walked out of the bathroom, feigning weakness as she sat on the sofa in the room, ”I’ll rest here for a while, please bring me a glass of milk.”

The maid agreed, turned, and walked out the door.

Listening to the footsteps gradually fade, Luo Xiaoqian immediately got up and returned to the bathroom, locked the door, and went to the water tank of the toilet. She exerted herself to lift the lid of the water tank, peering inside.

At first glance, there was no bag visible inside the water tank.

Unwilling to give up, she took the lid off the tank and carefully placed it on the ground, scrutinizing the tank again. This time, she finally saw, as expected, a small bag with something inside at the bottom of the tank.

Luo Xiaoqian felt a surge of happiness in her heart, busily reaching in to try to retrieve the bag. The bag’s corner was stuck near the outlet, and her first attempt to remove it failed.

Through the water in the tank, she could clearly see paper with writing inside. Worried that pulling too hard would tear the bag, she carefully used both hands to grasp it, applying pressure bit by bit.

While Luo Xiaoqian was in the bathroom handling the bag, the maid had already reached the stairs. Coincidentally, Luo Ke, holding a tray with milk and some snacks, was coming up. Seeing him, she immediately asked, ”Where is the madam?!”

”She’s in her bedroom on the second floor, feeling a bit unwell, and asked me to fetch her a glass of milk.”

Hearing that Luo Xiaoqian was unwell, Luo Ke immediately quickened his pace towards the bedroom, with the maid hurrying to follow.

Entering the room, Luo Ke glanced around but didn’t see Luo Xiaoqian, raising his eyebrows in confusion.

”Sissi?!”

”I’m in the bathroom!” Hearing Luo Ke’s voice from outside, Luo Xiaoqian became anxious, immediately pulling hard. The bag stuck inside finally came loose, and she hastily retrieved it. Seeing water seep in, Luo Xiaoqian grew more frantic. With no time to undo the bag’s seal, she just tore the bag forcefully.

”Sissi?” Luo Ke placed the tray on the table and walked to the bathroom door, ”Are you okay?”

”No... it’s nothing, I just have a bit of a stomachache, I’ll be out soon...”

Luo Xiaoqian tugged several times but couldn’t open the bag. Without further thought, she brought the bag to her mouth and bit it, tearing it open with her teeth. In her haste, two slips of paper fell out, one directly onto the floor. She nervously bent down to pick it up, carefully wiping off the water.

”Sissi?” Luo Ke stood outside the bathroom door, his ear to the door, listening in confusion, ”Are you alright?”

Fearing that lingering any longer would arouse suspicion, Luo Xiaoqian hurriedly stuffed the two slips of paper into her pocket, tossed the bag into the toilet, flushed with force, carefully lifted the water tank lid back into place, and flushed several times, watching the small plastic bag get washed away. She sighed in relief, her body slick with a fine sweat.
