It wasn't until two days later that Song Wan's high fever gradually subsided.

She seemed to have a very long dream, in which Lin Zhaojiang's face appeared again, but this dream was not as eerie as the last one.

This time, Lin Zhaojiang gazed at her in his dream, as if he wanted to give her all his tenderness.

She was still in that little courtyard filled with orchids, the flowers in full bloom, the spring sunshine bright, and the azure sky was one she hadn't seen since coming to the city...

A little boy in the yard was waving at her. He was chubby and adorable, waving and shouting "Mommy!"

Just as Song Wan was about to run over, she woke up from her dream.

She slowly opened her eyes, feeling utterly exhausted from head to toe, as if she had been pulled out of the water, utterly drained.

But that uncomfortable feeling has disappeared.

She glanced at her side and sensed a familiar scent emanating from the dented area. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she slowly got out of bed and walked out, where she saw the man bustling about in the kitchen.

It seemed that Lin Zhaojiang was cooking for her.

However, it was clear that cooking was not his forte; he only made a soup, but he burned a pot of it and made a mess of the kitchen.

Lin Zhaojiang angrily threw down the soup spoon, took out his phone, and started yelling.

"What have you been saying?! That's completely wrong!... I followed your instructions exactly, how did it turn out like this?!"

"I think you should quit your job as the hotel's head chef. You're utterly useless!"

"Okay... I'll send you an address. You better hurry up and bring the food over, and some soup too... If you're even a minute late, you're fired tomorrow!"

Song Wan stood there, and unconsciously burst out laughing.

Lin Zhaojiang turned around abruptly, feeling a little embarrassed. He didn't know where to put his hands and could only manage a couple of awkward laughs.

"You...you're awake?"

He was all sullen just a moment ago, but as soon as he saw her, all his temper vanished.

"Here...here it'll be done soon! Don't be fooled by how messy it looks, I'll clean it up quickly!"

Song Wan said softly, "Let me do it."

"No, no, go back and lie down! I'll get this sorted out soon..."

Song Wan's heart stirred; it seemed that only with Lin Zhaojiang could she feel cherished and pampered.

He may not know how to do much, but he puts his heart into everything he does for her.

In the end, Lin Zhaojiang still had to hire a part-time cleaner to clean up the mess.

Because he had something more important to do—have dinner with Song Wan.

The food arrived on time, personally delivered by the hotel's head chef. He was sweating profusely, afraid that if he was even a minute late, he would have to pack his bags and leave.

Lin Zhaojiang helped Song Wan lie down and then fed her spoonful by spoonful. Song Wan felt embarrassed and tried to do it herself several times, but Lin Zhaojiang solemnly refused each time.

"Now that you've just recovered from a serious illness, you need to take good care of yourself and absolutely must not overexert yourself."

Song Wan was taken aback. "Can I get tired just from eating a meal?"

Lin Zhaojiang was unwilling to miss any opportunity to serve her.

"Anyway... if you don't have to move, then don't! Look at those small animals that don't move around much, don't they all live long lives?"

"You mean, a turtle?"

Lin Zhaojiang froze; his lame joke had once again fallen flat.

Then he panicked a little.

Did Song Wan misunderstand?

Why did he have to use such an example, mentioning small, inactive animals... and just when all else failed, Bai Ruogu had betrayed Song Wan.

Was he indirectly criticizing her for being cheated on?

Lin Zhaojiang gasped and tried to explain, but the more he tried, the less he could say. After a long while, his face turned pale.

But Song Wan covered her mouth and couldn't help but laugh.

"Song Wan, um, I..."

"No need to say anything more." Song Wan's eyes were clear and her voice was gentle. "I know you didn't mean anything by it."

Lin Zhaojiang breathed a sigh of relief.

"However, please don't tell any more lame jokes in the future. The jokes aren't funny, but you are!"

Lin Zhaojiang was amused by her, and the two looked at each other. At that moment, sunlight streamed in through the window, warming their faces.

Even if Song Wan was slow to realize it, she knew what the man in front of her was thinking of her.

Actually, she also had feelings for Lin Zhaojiang.

It wasn't just a feeling of affection, but also a strange sense of familiarity... as if they had known each other in a past life.

The connection between people is truly a wondrous thing.

Bai Zhijin sat in her studio, the painting in front of her was only half finished, but the deadline was fast approaching, and she didn't have much time left.

Huo Junyang rushed over, looking travel-worn, and frowned when he saw her drawing like this.

"Weaving Brocade, something's not right here... and this part, the male lead wasn't drawn like this earlier!"

"The film company called me. They've already done the publicity and are just waiting for our manuscripts. But with our current pace, it's really not going to work!"

"How about I ask my mom? Our Yufeng Media has a certain standing in the film and television industry, and my mom has a lot of connections. I could ask her to contact some film and television companies and ask them to give us a few more days..."

"Forget it." After a long pause, Bai Zhijin muttered a few words, "Even if I were given a year's grace, I probably wouldn't be in the mood..."

Huo Junyang asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

Bai Zhijin threw down her paintbrush, rested her chin on her hand, and let out a long sigh.

"My house has been in complete chaos these past two days..."

Huo Junyang immediately realized that the chaos in the Bai family was probably because of Bai Ruogu.

Bai Zhijin recounted everything that had happened in the past few days to Huo Junyang in detail—

Bai Ruogu brought Sophia and her son into the house and publicly announced that he was breaking off his engagement with Song Wan and that he was going to marry Sophia, which almost made Bai Jingyuan faint with anger.
