Chapter 25 I don't want him to think I'm hypocritical

Chi Yuanben still held on to a glimmer of hope.

Maybe Qi Wang just moved to another room to rest, or he was busy in the study.

But when she went to all the rooms, she had to face a fact.

Qi Wang went out, he is not at home.

The housekeeper heard the noise and stood up, went out to take a look, and saw Chi Yuan sitting in the living room with a lonely look on his face. He immediately understood.

"Madam, you should go and rest. The young master left not long after you rested. He probably won't be back tonight."

Chi Yuan nodded lightly and smiled calmly: "I know, you don't need to persuade me, just go to sleep."

She just wanted to stay in the living room a little longer.

Or maybe she still had a glimmer of hope in her heart, maybe Qi Wang would come back.

The rain outside the window got heavier, so Chi Yuan took a blanket and wrapped himself in it.

She inexplicably thought that even if Qi Wang had settled the matter, he probably wouldn't rush back in the rain as it was raining so heavily outside.

Just waiting, Chi Yuan soon felt sleepy.

She leaned on the armrest of the sofa and fell asleep unknowingly.

But after she fell asleep, the rain outside the window gradually subsided.

When Chi Yuan opened his eyes again, it was already early morning the next day.

She had an extra blanket on her.

Chi Yuan immediately sat up and looked around, but did not see Qi Wang. Instead, he heard the sound of the range hood coming from the kitchen.

Just then the butler brought breakfast to the table.

"Madam, you are awake. Please go back to your room and sleep for a while."

Chi Yuan shook his head and asked hurriedly, "Where's Qi Wang? Is he back?"

Otherwise, this extra blanket is...

"The young master hasn't come back yet, but he should be getting ready to go to the company at this time."

After the housekeeper finished speaking, he walked back into the kitchen. Chi Yuan couldn't help but laugh at himself.

What was she thinking? She was actually expecting Qi Wang to come back.

Also, if he came back, she wouldn't wake up on the couch.

Chi Yuan hugged his blanket and prepared to go back to the house for a nap. Sleeping on the sofa was obviously not enough.

But as soon as she stood up, she felt dizzy and quickly fell back onto the sofa.

"Butler, bring me some cold medicine."

Oh no, the temperature was low last night and I caught a cold after sleeping on the sofa.

Upon hearing the noise, the housekeeper immediately fetched the medicine box. Seeing Chi Yuan's face was not looking good, he asked worriedly, "Should we call a doctor? Tonight is the old man's birthday, you can't be absent."

"Give me the medicine!"

In this situation, hearing the word "birthday" made her even more annoyed.

After swallowing the medicine, Chi Yuan went upstairs directly with the blanket in his arms.

Of course, she also said, "It's okay, no need to call a doctor, I'll be fine after a good sleep."

But what she actually wanted to say more was... since Qi Wang cares so much about Ye Ranran, why not just take her to Mr. Qi's birthday party?

But now Chi Yuan didn't want to say a word.

After taking the cold medicine, Chiyuan fell asleep quickly, but her sleep was very restless.

My head felt like it was about to explode, and even in my dreams I knew that I seemed to be very ill.

"Chi Yuan, wake up, it's time to go."

She vaguely heard someone calling her. It was a man. Chi Yuan naturally thought he was Qi Wang and didn't want to pay any attention to him.

"Still not awake?"

The feeling of being in a dream but not dream actually made Chi Yuan bolder.

Why did this man keep whispering in her ear, disturbing her sweet dreams... He wouldn't even let her have peace in her dreams...

"If we don't leave now, we'll be late for Grandpa's birthday party."

Chi Yuan finally couldn't stand it anymore and shouted, "Shut up!"

This shout suddenly woke her up, but she was also a little confused.

My chest was constantly being bullied up and down, my forehead was sweating, and my whole body was in great pain.

This feeling... is obviously a fever.

"Finally woke up."

A man's cold voice sounded. Chi Yuan looked over and saw Qi Wang standing by the bed, looking at her coldly.

"Pack up quickly when you wake up. I'll wait for you downstairs."

Qi Wang didn't seem to notice her abnormality at all. He gave orders in a cold voice and left the bedroom.

Chi Yuan suddenly realized something.

The sound I heard in my sleep just now, was it a dream or reality?

She forced herself to sit up, feeling uncomfortable all over. She touched her forehead and it was very hot.

But there is no time to determine the exact temperature now.

After Chi Yuan got dressed, she went downstairs and saw that the man had prepared everything, including her dress.

"What’s wrong with you?"

Perhaps because her expression was too ugly, Qi Wang narrowed his eyes and said, "Don't make any mistakes at Grandpa's birthday party."

Chi Yuan was just organizing his words, wondering if he could skip going today, but after hearing what he said, he swallowed back those words that were meant to show weakness.

If I didn't have a fever, I really wanted to have a fight with him on the spot.

"I don't need your help, let's go."

She walked to the cabinet, took out a fever-reducing pill and put it in her pocket. The man didn't notice what she took.

After getting in the car, Chi Yuan felt really uncomfortable and kept his eyes closed in the passenger seat, but he didn't feel sleepy at all.

Until we arrived at our destination, which was the Cypress Hotel, where Mr. Qi held his birthday party.

"get off."

Chi Yuan forced himself to unbuckle his seat belt and get out of the car.

She seemed to be afraid that the man would notice something unusual, but also hoped that he would notice...

After entering the hotel, the bright lights made her more conscious.

Chi Yuan thought that he should be able to get through the night.

“Wish!”

Hearing the familiar female voice, Chi Yuan thought he was hallucinating.

Until Bai Qingcheng appeared in front of her, she couldn't help but feel happy: "Qingcheng! You are here too!"

"My father was invited to Mr. Qi's birthday party, so my eldest brother and I came along!"

As she spoke, Bai Qingcheng glanced at Qi Wang, and the smile on her face disappeared visibly.

"You haven't changed your clothes yet, come on, I'll take you there!" Bai Qingcheng stretched out her hand to Qi Wang without any hesitation: "Give me Yuanyuan's dress."

Qi Wang handed the handbag to her and glanced at Chi Yuan expressionlessly: "Remember to be there on time."

The changing areas for men and women were separate, and they went in different directions.

Bai Qingcheng gave Qi Wang a fierce middle finger as he left.

"What are you so arrogant about?! How dare you bully our Yuanyuan? I will teach him a lesson tonight!"

Chi Yuan smiled and climbed onto her shoulder, resting his forehead against hers gently: "Okay, forget about him, let's go change clothes."

Bai Qingcheng was about to respond, but she felt an abnormal heat on her shoulder and asked uncertainly, "Yuanyuan, do you have a fever? Your hands are so hot."

She touched her forehead and said seriously, "Oh no, you must have a fever. If you're sick, just rest at home! A party is not as important as your health!"

"Forget it, Qingcheng." Chi Yuan felt it was difficult for him to say more: "I don't want him to think I'm being pretentious."

It's just a fever, isn't it? It's just a minor illness, and it only lasts for tonight.

I'll have a good talk with him when I get home.

Bai Qingcheng felt unhappy: "Why does he think you're being pretentious? You've been busy running around for the Chi family recently, and you're so tired that you got sick..."

"Stop talking." Chi Yuan raised his head, his eyes regaining some clarity: "Go change your clothes, otherwise it will be too late."
