Yan Ruowen's internal clock habitually woke her at six o'clock. Though awake, her body still felt weary. The night's passion had persisted until the early hours of the morning, an indulgence she'd never before experienced. Working late until two or three was common, but being currently unemployed, she reluctantly remained in bed. She shook Li Xin, who was still clinging to her, reminding her it was time for work. Even though Yan Ruowen wasn't working herself, she felt compelled to oversee others.
"Do you plan on going to work today?" Yan Ruowen asked Li Xin.
"What time is it?" Li Xin, still groggy, looked at Yan Ruowen. The thought of a full day's work ahead dispelled any lingering desire to sleep. Oh, how she wished she could skip work.
"It's past six." Yan Ruowen knew the time without glancing at the clock. She was always acutely aware of the hour.
"It's still early. Work starts at eight, and the hospital is just ten minutes away." Normally, this time was for getting up for exercise, but Li Xin found something else to replace it with. The thought of the new activity renewed her interest.
"In that case, you can sleep for another hour. I'll wake you at seven." Yan Ruowen prepared to rise. She disliked lingering in bed. Even if she had nothing to do, she still intended to get up and be productive.
As Yan Ruowen got up, Li Xin couldn't help but admire her fair and slender back, along with the enticing curve of her spine. She wrapped her arms around Yan Ruowen from behind, her fingers tracing over Yan Ruowen's body.
Yan Ruowen's body tensed. She never allowed Li Xin to play around in the morning. Today would be no different.
"Don't be silly. You have work later," She said firmly. Last night's prolonged lovemaking had drained both of them. Li Xin had only slept for three hours, and engaging in another session this morning would leave her feeling drained. She didn't want Li Xin to go to work exhausted.
"We still have an hour, and morning desires are the strongest..." Li Xin's voice trailed off, her tone coy.
"You need to focus on work and be in the best mental state," Yan Ruowen instructed Li Xin. Work should always be taken seriously, especially for a surgeon. Lives were at stake, and there was no room for carelessness.
"Feeding people will put them in the best mood," Li Xin replied nonchalantly. If Yan Ruowen was strict with her, over the years, the number of obstacles she'd have to overcome wouldn't be countable. As long as she still loved her, Li Xin often overlooked the hurt she caused her. In front of her lover, she was weak, but in love, she was surprisingly persistent.
Yan Ruowen hesitated for a moment, then nodded. They both returned to the warm embrace of the bed. Li Xin rested her head on Yan Ruowen's chest, and Yan Ruowen allowed her movements. After a moment of hesitation, Yan Ruowen placed her hand on Li Xin's smooth back. Li Xin enjoyed this position, feeling content as she breathed in Yan Ruowen's unique scent. Her mood improved remarkably, and she realized how easily Yan Ruowen could influence her emotions.
Perhaps still feeling quite fatigued, Yan Ruowen unknowingly drifted back to sleep, while Li Xin remained awake. She enjoyed watching Yan Ruowen sleep. In the past, when she woke up in the middle of the night, she would stare at Yan Ruowen's sleeping face, feeling a sense of peace. At that time, Yan Ruowen was at her gentlest and most approachable.
When Yan Ruowen woke up, she realized it was almost noon, and Li Xin had already gone to work. But she left a small note for her.
"Remember to call me. Breakfast is ready. Don't forget to eat. Love, Li Xin."
Yan Ruowen smiled as she read the note. It felt good to know someone cared about her. Her expression softened.
"Dr. Li." The nurses at the hospital greeted Li Xin as she passed. Everyone in the hospital knew Li Xin. She was the daughter of the hospital's director and also the most outstanding female doctor in the entire hospital. Despite being open about her sexual orientation, Li Xin still exuded a charm that attracted men. After all, she was a stunning woman, and even though her sexual orientation was public, it didn't stop men from being drawn to her. The openness about her sexuality also brought her many female admirers. Li Xin was much gentler with women than with men, and her seductive eyes often carried an electric spark. Even the straightest nurses found their hearts racing when Li Xin looked at them. One particularly straight nurse even jokingly said that if Dr. Li pursued her, she'd consider changing her sexual orientation for her. Li Xin was a bewitching creature.

"Hello." Li Xin smiled at the nurses, her mood quite good today.
Seeing Li Xin's charming smile, everyone assumed she was in a good mood. Normally, she greeted people with a polite nod, but her smile was rarely as enchanting. Even the corners of her eyes were slightly lifted. However, no one could deny that Li Xin looked even more stunning at that moment. As Zuo Qinghuan mentioned, Li Xin seemed to be born for love. In love, she blossomed, and without love, she withered.
They wonder who put Li Xin in such a good mood? Some of the hospital staff were curious.
Sitting in her office, Li Xin glanced at her watch numerous times. It was already noon. Is Wenwen still asleep? Li Xin had been waiting for Yan Ruowen's call. Just then, Li Xin's phone rang.
"I just woke up. Is there something you need?" Yan Ruowen's voice came from the phone, along with her usual formal tone and question.
"Even if there's nothing, you should call me. Every three hours, give me a call. It's one of the duties of being a mistress." Li Xin always filled Yan Ruowen's mistress' duties list with unlimited requests. After all, someone as rule-abiding as Yan Ruowen would definitely adhere to them. Li Xin naturally took advantage of the situation to make requests that would make her happy. If she didn't, she'd have to wait forever for Yan Ruowen to call her. Regular phone calls were essential for every couple, and Li Xin and Yan Ruowen were no exception.
Yan Ruowen furrowed her brow slightly. Did being a mistress entail such detailed duties? She thought being a mistress only involved activities in bed.
"Are there anything else mistresses need to do?" Yan Ruowen felt it necessary to clarify.
"To be determined. I'll let you know when I think of something." There were plenty more, but Li Xin wasn't foolish. She knew Yan Ruowen would likely create a detailed plan from her requests. Then, she'd strictly adhere to it, and if Li Xin went beyond the outlined requests, Yan Ruowen would reject her demands. Li Xin thought this was entirely possible, given Yan Ruowen's tendency to strictly follow rules. Yan Ruowen hated when goals and tasks weren't clear.
Yan Ruowen's brow furrowed even tighter. She was quite assertive herself, and this one-sided situation made her extremely uncomfortable. Unfortunately, she was trapped within the walls she had built for herself.
Author’s Note:
I plan to keep Li Yan within ten chapters. There will be a bit of emotional torture for Yan Ruowen, forcing her to confront her feelings...
Feeling sleepy again...
