Chapter 16 He took care of her when he was sick.

Time passed second by second.

The surgery was successfully completed at 11 p.m.

Before the anesthesia wore off, Lu Jinye, who was still unconscious, was carried back to the bedroom by Qin Yuan and Balun.

Wen Ni cleaned herself up and sat down on the living room sofa, feeling slightly tired. She turned on her phone and saw more than a dozen text messages and missed calls from Xiao Cheng!

"Sis! It's so late, aren't you off work yet?"

"It just finished. There were some problems with Lu Jinye's rehearsal, and I need to stay with him, so he can't go back tonight. Please lock the door in the hotel by yourself."

"Ah? Is Mr. Lu alright?" Wen Cheng on the other end of the phone sounded slightly surprised. He had a feeling that ever since his sister met Lu Jinye, the chances of Lu Jinye encountering various accidents had skyrocketed...

"Hmm... he shouldn't die if he doesn't do something stupid," Wen Ni replied seriously.

“…Okay, sister, you should take care of yourself…” Wen Cheng thought for a moment and then said, “My second uncle called today and said he’s treating the whole family to dinner in the city on the second day of the Lunar New Year, and he wants you and me to go too.”

"I'm not going."

Her second uncle was organizing a gathering, and Wen Yuanshan and that woman would definitely be there too. It's the New Year, and she didn't want to invite bad luck!

“I guessed you didn’t want to go either, so I declined.”

"Good girl Cheng~" Wen Ni softened her voice and rubbed her sore shoulders.

"Sister, you sound very tired. You should go to sleep early. Don't worry about me, the hotel manager is taking good care of me!"

"That's good."

After saying goodnight to Xiaocheng, she was just about to lie down on the sofa for a nap when Qin Yuan scooped her up!

"Wake up! Come quick, Mr. Lu has a fever of 40 degrees Celsius!"

"You're not a fever reducer. Why are you looking for me if he has a fever? Give him his medicine!"

"Please, Miss Wen, you should still come and take a look!"

"..."

Standing in Lu Jinye's bedroom, Wen Ni picked up a fever reducer, dissolved it in warm water, and poured it into Lu Jinye's mouth.

He was still unconscious, his cheeks were burning red, and he was breathing rapidly.

"The fever is caused by a secondary infection. I have already given him an anti-inflammatory injection, and I will give him some glucose saline solution for rehydration later."

"Thank you, Ms. Wen!"

After these events, Qin Yuan's attitude towards Wen Ni underwent a qualitative change.

"You've had a long day, go to sleep. Barron and I are here..."

"that!"

Baron suddenly raised his hand, blinking his blue eyes sincerely and simply, "How do we change the dressing and prepare the medicine? How do we remove the needle? Before, when Master Lu was injured, it was Dr. Su Li who took care of him, so we don't know how to do these things."

"Baron, what are you saying? Such a simple and basic operation, we..." Qin Yuan was only halfway through his sentence when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his thigh!

He looked down and saw that Baron was holding a thick syringe and sticking it into his leg!

When he looked up again, he saw Baron staring at him fiercely and menacingly...

"Qin Yuan, I don't even know how, how could you?"

"…Baron is absolutely right!" Qin Yuan trembled, tears streaming down her face, as she looked at Wen Ni. "I'm so sorry, Miss Wen, I don't know how to change the dressing or remove the needle. I'm so stupid, how could I be so stupid…"

"you……"

"Thank you so much, Miss Ni Ni, for taking care of Master Lu!"

After Baron finished speaking, he dragged Qin Yuan out and closed the bedroom door, leaving Wen Ni with a question mark in her head and the sleeping patient Lu Jinye.

First floor living room

Qin Yuan clutched her bleeding leg, while Lang Yi's face was full of grievance. "Baron, you're bullying me too much!"

"Who told you to be so blind?"

Barron scoffed at him, then casually grabbed a Band-Aid and stuck it on him, saying, "The story can only unfold when all the buffs are stacked up: late at night, alone, him sick, her taking care of him!"

"Can't understand."

"You deserve to be single for 26 years."

"I'm better than you, you're twenty-eight years older." Qin Yuan chuckled foolishly.

Baron wasn't annoyed; instead, he smiled and put his arm around Qin Yuan's shoulder. "The night is long, so why don't we two single dogs have a few drinks? Otherwise, we'd be doing a disservice to all the good wine in Master Lu's wine cabinet!"

Great minds think alike.

Qin Yuan and Balun got completely drunk on the first floor.

Wen Ni was on the second floor tending to the IV drip, feeling sleepy, and could only barely stay awake by scrolling through group messages.

Leng Feng: Boss, why haven't you made any moves since you became a bodyguard? How's it going?

Dragon Blade: Even someone like me who flies overseas knows that she must be feeling very frustrated right now.

Venom: Why is there no sound? There's been a huge commotion! Didn't you see the news? Our brave Thousand Kills leader grabbed an international superstar's hand and stormed into the studio! The internet is rife with insults, demanding he fire the leader, hahaha!

Feng Sui: Qian Sha, why didn't you tell me that person was Lu Jinye! He's so handsome, he would have smitten you! What am I supposed to do then! Are you going to abandon me?!

Leng Feng: Boss isn't love-struck.

Dragonblade: It's just a mission target. Beacon Fire, don't get excited. You still have a chance.

Venom: It's this late and the boss still hasn't replied to my message. Could he have run into some bad guys?

Leng Feng: If she encounters bad people, it's obvious that the personal safety of the bad people is more of a concern!

Qian Sha: ...What's more tragic than going missing or encountering bad guys is taking care of a sick person.

The rest of the group: ! ! ? ?

Fengsui: Who!? Who are you looking after!? Lu Jinye!?

Qian Sha: Hmm.

Beacon Tower: In the dead of night, a lone man and a lone woman!?

Qian Sha: Yes.

Fengsui: Aaaaaaah! I'm going to kill him!!

The rest of the people: ...

Let Fengsui go crazy in the group chat, Wen Ni calmly put down her phone and rubbed her sore eyes.

Looking at Lu Jinye's peaceful sleeping face, she couldn't help but sigh. It was really not easy for her to earn more money from him. It was like she had stirred up a nest of troubles, with one thing after another keeping her busy!

"When you wake up, I need to talk to you about the price increase."

She mumbled something softly, her eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and finally her head slumped against the edge of the bed and she fell asleep...

The man who appeared to be fast asleep on the bed slowly opened his eyes at this moment.

He tilted his head and looked at the girl lying beside him...

Wen Ni hadn't had such a good night's sleep in a long time.

In her sleep, she was like a light, floating sponge, levitating and gently falling until her body sank into the warm, soft bedding.

She rolled over, her leg bumped into something, and she kicked it hard, but her restless ankle was grabbed!

Her professional instincts made her think she had been ambushed, and her mind instantly cleared. She quickly got up and prepared to defeat her opponent in one move!

But as soon as her legs locked around the other person's neck, her movements froze.

Under the dim light, the man's slightly disheveled hair and his fair, incomparably handsome face... wasn't this Lu Jinye?

He seemed to be suffocating from her grip.

She quickly regained her senses, loosened her grip, and placed one hand on his shoulder and the other on his forehead.

"Still has a low-grade fever?" she asked, her mind focused.

"Ugh...cough cough cough!"

He turned his head away, trying to create distance between himself and her.

She then realized that she had sat on his lap.

"...You pulled out the needle yourself?"

"Hmm." Lu Jinye lowered his head.

"Go lie down and get some sleep. If your wound doesn't heal properly, how will you go on stage tomorrow?"

Wen Ni nimbly rolled out of bed and disappeared through the door.

She didn't know why she ran away; perhaps it was the atmosphere in the room that made her feel uncomfortable.

Inside the room, Lu Jinye was still sitting there.

He raised his hand and touched his slightly sore neck and chin, but the corners of his eyes involuntarily turned up slightly...

The next day at dawn

Qin Yuan was still half asleep when Baron dragged her upstairs to the second floor, yelling, "Hurry up, or we'll miss the show..."
