Chapter 48 Once You Leave, the Master Will Go Crazy Again

"What's going on?" Ning Fengsheng opened the door...

The living room was filled with a dark and low atmosphere, and Nanchuan Shijue was shaking the IV stand, making it clang loudly.

The man woke up early in the morning and started to act crazy.

"Are you planning on recording my last words in the bathroom? And staying that long?" He growled irritably.

Worried that she would climb out of the window and run away secretly - even though there were bodyguards outside the Rose Garden.

Even if Ning Fengsheng really wanted to leave, she could leave openly, after all, he promised her that she could come and go freely.

He no longer had the right to hold her captive like he once did.

"Last words? Don't worry, the doctor said you just have a common gastroenteritis. It's your fault for not eating for a few days and drinking strong liquor. As for your high fever, it's almost gone."

Nanchuan Shijue's brows were furrowed, his jaw was tightly clenched, and one hand was tightly clutching a thick leather book.

"Come here...read to me."

"Master Nanchuan is not blind, can't he see for himself?"

Nanchuan Shijue suddenly ripped open the collar of his nightgown and showed her the scar on his chest: "I want to hear you read it."

“…” again.

"Ning Fengsheng, I'm a patient now."

"Is there a patient as vigorous as you?" Ning Fengsheng raised his eyebrows and fed him as soon as he woke up in the morning.

He had a good appetite and ate two big bowls!

"If you push me again, I'll pull out the needle." Nanchuan Shijue was shrouded in gloom.

"Then pull it out. The fever is almost gone now, so you don't need the IV drip anymore."

"I won't take any more medicine."

"You don't have to take medicine. Your physical condition will be better today."

Damn it, this was the first time he disliked his strong body!

I don't even have the capital to pretend to be weak and sickly!

Nanchuan Shijue stared at her with a pair of resentful eyes, his face turned blue with anger, and blood oozed from his pale and cracked lips.

Ning Fengsheng turned away. This man was really too scheming...

Just because she showed mercy last night and stayed to take care of him.

He actually went so far as to threaten her with his illness?

If she really accepted his threat, he would continue to torture her by not eating and making her sick!

"Moss, I asked the doctor this morning, and he's in good condition..."

Moss opened his mouth, wanting to say something but stopped.

"Then I'm leaving."

I watched Ning Fengsheng pick up the bag that fell on the sofa, as if she was about to leave.

"Ning Fengsheng, don't force me to hire someone to break three of my ribs."

“…”

Just to let her stay and look after him?

"I stayed last night because of the scar on your chest..." Ning Fengsheng looked at a psychopath as if he was watching a maniac. "I stabbed you. I owe you. I obeyed you out of guilt. If you really hired someone to break your ribs, I wouldn't care."

"You feel guilty?" Nanchuan Shijue cracked his lips, his smile bleak. "You almost killed me once – taking care of me for one night can make up for your guilt?"

"I was to be tortured by you during my stay in Rose Garden as repayment for this."

"That's not enough—" Nanchuan Shijue said cruelly, "The injuries you've caused me are more than just this, is that enough?"

“…”

"You still owe me a life. Is this repayment?"

Ning Fengsheng's body swayed slightly. She couldn't mention the child. She would feel sad when she mentioned it.

When she had the abortion, she had no emotions at all, even hatred...

Why does she feel so heartbroken every time she thinks of it?

"Ning Fengsheng... what you owe me... can't be repaid with just this? Don't you feel guilty? When you think about it late at night, doesn't your conscience pang?"

It hurts—a lot—

That's why she had to endure being tortured by him.

Ning Fengsheng also wanted to pay back everything she owed him, so that when she left this world, she would have no worries.

"What do you want from me?"

"Didn't you say you'd stay by my side until I get married and have kids? What? You can't afford to play?" Nanchuan Shijue's eyelashes drooped. "Running away midway? Is this your mentality?"

"I'm just narrow-minded, what can you do to me?"

He wanted to provoke her, but she didn't fall for it!

"Miss Ning, please stay for another day..." Moss held up a finger, "Wait until the young master recovers and eat more. He still looks haggard..."

“…”

"As soon as you leave, the young master will go crazy again." Moss was scared just thinking about it.

Ning Fengsheng was silent for half a second: "Okay, just one day..."

Hearing this, Nanchuan Shijue's body tensed up instantly, and he stared at her deeply.

"Great, I'll ask the kitchen to prepare lunch right away, and make it according to Miss Ning's favorite taste!" Moss breathed a sigh of relief.

"What kind of book do you want to read? Let me make it clear first, I won't read any weird books." Ning Fengsheng glanced at the dozen books piled up beside the bed. They were all complex economics and the like, profound and difficult to understand.

"Weird? What kind?" Nanchuan Shijue raised his thick eyebrows, looked at her ears which were slowly turning red, and a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Once, he asked her to read books that were not suitable for children...

"It seems Miss Ning has a good memory... She can still remember things so clearly from such a long time ago."

Ning Fengsheng's cheeks became even more unnatural——

Nonsense, how could she possibly forget such a shameful memory? This big evil wolf forced her to read while teasing her...

He is shameless and can do anything shameful!

"Take away that evil look of yours!"

“…”

"If you look at me again, I won't read to you!"

As expected, the threat worked. He looked away, looking expectant: "Then read quickly."

Ning Fengsheng scanned the books he could read and suddenly spotted a copy of The Little Prince lying beside the bed...

Her attention was immediately drawn away.

How could he have such a children's book? It looked completely out of place among the complicated books.

Ning Fengsheng took it doubtfully, opened the title page, and saw the words "Shengsheng gift" written on it.

I remember now, it was given by her.

Last year he was asking for a birthday present, and she just picked up one when she was in the bookstore.

This is really perfunctory. How could you give him such a reading material?

I vaguely remember that he was very happy when he received it, and did not take offense at her perfunctory attitude.

He is actually... really easy to coax.

But he actually kept this kind of reading material by his bed? Clearly, he's been reading it a lot lately.

It seems to have been well cared for, the outer cover is sealed with hard plastic, and there are no creases on the inner pages...

Nanchuan Shijue held her hand holding the book, his body temperature burning: "Ning Fengsheng, your hand is colder than the judge's gavel. I really want to touch your heart to see if it's even colder..."

He pulled her into his arms, his breath hot against her neck.

Ning Fengsheng shuddered from the heat: "It's very cold, my heart has long been frozen."

The man suddenly bit the end of her hair and said, "You heartless woman, read to me now. I want to listen immediately."

He flipped open the book and found the bookmark at Chapter 21. There, in brightly colored handwriting, was his annotation: "The fox waiting for love is the stupidest."
