Chapter 144 You Are My Little Ancestor

Not caring that their noise would wake up Xue'er, Jiang Shibai immediately turned off the Panda Night Light on the bedside, which Xu Xian had bought specially after moving into this room.

The warm yellow light swept across the head of the bed. Jiang Shibai took her out from under his chest, leaned his back against the head of the bed, and held her in his arms.

The soft light illuminated the cool and charming face, on which hung two lines of clear tears, the eyes were misty, and the corners of the eyes were red.

His rough fingertips wiped the pearls that kept falling, and he held her face in his palms, his voice low and panicked, "My dear, don't cry, I feel bad."

"Are you still mad at me? I acted on my own initiative and made you angry. There won't be a next time. You can hit me or scold me if you want, but just don't cry."

The man's words were straightforward and simple, and seemed incoherent.

This was the first time she cried in front of him, and he was completely confused.

It was clearly her who was crying, but his heart seemed to be gripped by an invisible hand and he couldn't breathe at all.

He deeply regretted his behavior in the company today, which had caused her trouble just for the sake of his inner desires.

Women are like water. The more a man coaxes her, the more she wants to cry.

Tears fell like they were free, soaking the hands that were wiping the corners of her eyes. The bony palms were now covered with water marks.

His low coaxing voice poured into Xu Xian's ears, but she couldn't help shrugging her shoulders and sobbing softly. Her black and white fox eyes were wet with tears, and red blood was floating in them.

"You bastard!" Her voice was sticky, as if it was stuck to something, and her crying tone was heavy.

If he hadn't taken the initiative to make their relationship clear in the company today, her mood wouldn't have been like a roller coaster, going up and down, throbbing non-stop.

What he did was clearly forcing her.

She was the one who suggested the secret marriage, but he clearly agreed.

Now thinking about it, he was a little reluctant to agree at that time, but he couldn't go back on his word.

Ultimately it's all his fault.

Jiang Shibai accepted the title without hesitation. His voice was unstable and full of coaxing. "Okay, I'm a bastard, the biggest and worst bastard in the world. My dear, don't cry, okay?"

It didn't matter if she called him a bastard all night long, she just hoped she wouldn't cry.

After she finished speaking, her tears did not stop, but instead she cried even harder.

Jiang Shibai's eyes darkened when he saw this. He moved closer without any disgust and licked away the hot tears with the tip of his tongue.

His slightly pale thin lips rested on the corners of his red and tearful eyes. The gurgling tears flowing from his eye sockets disappeared on his lips. The tears were salty, but he didn't even frown.

The strangeness in the corner of his eye made Xu Xian startle slightly, and his long and thick eyelashes swayed up and down like butterfly wings.

She calmed down a little, her sobbing subsided, and she pouted her rosy lips, complaining in a disgruntled voice.

"Jiang Shibai, you...just like to bully...people. You take advantage of the fact that I'm...the boss in the company and bully...me whenever you catch me."

She had lost her mind. No matter how Jiang Shibai had taken care of her in the past, she vetoed it. She felt that he was unreasonable and had been exploiting her by relying on his status.

The tears finally stopped, Jiang Shibai calmed down a little, and looked at her crying in his arms.

Her face was covered with water marks, her aggrieved eyes and the tip of her straight nose turned red, and the unnatural blush spread to her cheeks and ears. She couldn't stop sobbing and cried uncontrollably.

He stretched out his long arm to the bedside table, pulled out a soft tissue from the tissue box, and carefully wiped the tears from her face with gentle and careful movements.

It took several tissues to wipe the tears from her face and neck.

Jiang Shibai put his arms around her, resting his chin on her head, and patted her thin back with his broad, dry palms from time to time, his tone returning to its usual calmness.

"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have pushed you. I should have let nature take its course. I'm sorry, Xianxian."

"You are my little ancestor. From now on, you will be my leader, whether it is the company or the family, okay?"

"You can be angry with me, but I'll go back to the study later and listen to you. When you calm down, I'll come back to sleep, but don't cry, okay?"

His voice was low and gentle, unhurried, like a breeze brushing past your ears, bringing comfort and pleasure to your body and mind.

Xu Xian buried his face in his chest, his shaking shoulders slowly calmed down, and he regained some of his rationality.

She felt a little ashamed.

Why are you crying in front of him?

The only sound in the quiet room was the man constantly bowing his head to admit his mistakes and apologize. He was almost showing Xu Xian his whole heart and liver, using one coaxing rhetoric after another.

After a moment of silence, Xu Xian felt his face getting hotter and hotter. It was not that the heat was radiating from the inside out, but rather that the heat was being transferred from the outside in.

She subconsciously touched his arm and was shocked to find that his body temperature was very high.

"Jiang Shibai, you're so hot!"

She immediately raised her head from his arms and saw him clearly in the warm yellow light. His lips were pale and his handsome face with clear lines was flushed.

Abnormal flushing.

Jiang Shibai hesitated for two seconds and spoke more slowly, "It's hard for me not to feel hot when you're in my arms."

The teasing voice was inexplicably a bit naughty and elegant.

Xu Xian didn't want to joke with him. She touched his forehead with the back of her hand. His scorching body temperature was like a flame burning her skin, and she subconsciously withdrew her hand.

"Be serious, you have a fever."

"Fever?" Jiang Shibai frowned slightly, and then he realized that something was wrong with his body, and his head was indeed dizzy.

Xu Xian climbed up from the bed and tucked him into the quilt. "Lie down. I'll get you a thermometer and some medicine."

"Okay." Jiang Shibai's dark eyes stared at her motionlessly, his attitude was very submissive, without any sharpness at all.

It felt hot to the touch, obviously she had a fever. Xu Xian didn't dare let Xu Yixiu and Jiang Shibai stay in the same room. He first carried her to her own room before starting to take care of Jiang Shibai.

It's just a low-grade fever. There's no need to rush to the hospital in the middle of the night, and I don't want to make my family doctor get out of his warm bed.

Xu Xian didn't dare let him take any medicine without a doctor's order, so he could only use physical cooling methods to reduce his temperature, such as giving him a fever patch and wiping his body with a wet towel.

He was happy for her to wipe his upper body, but not his lower body. It wasn't that he was shy, but it was inevitable that he would have a reaction when she wiped him.

Jiang Shibai stopped her movements, his eyes deep, and said in a hoarse voice: "I can do it myself."

"What part of you haven't I seen? Don't try to be tough even though you're sick." Xu Xian was a little angry.

Ever since her mother was diagnosed with cancer, any minor illness has become a big deal in her eyes. Many serious illnesses may be the result of the accumulation of minor illnesses, so she dare not delay even a little.

Jiang Shibai laughed when he heard this, "I'm not trying to be brave."

"As long as you don't mind that I have feelings for you."

After saying that, he pretended to take off his pajamas.

Xu Xian: “…”
