evening.

The sky was ablaze with rosy clouds, and a gentle breeze was blowing.

After finishing her work, Ji Fuling left the company and drove to the Ye Group.

Upon arriving at Ye's company, she went straight to the front desk and politely inquired, "Hello, is your CEO, Mr. Ye, in the company right now?"

The receptionist was a young woman whose name tag read her English name—Lily.

Upon hearing the question, Lily glanced up at Ji Fuling and asked in return, "Do you have an appointment?"

reserve?

Ji Fuling shook her head. "No."

Upon hearing this, Lily immediately mistook Ji Fuling for one of those women who were eager to woo Ye Nanqing, and her attitude instantly turned hostile.

She looked at Ji Fuling with disdain and said irritably, "You dare to come see our CEO Ye without an appointment? Who do you think you are? Our CEO Ye isn't someone you can just see casually!"

"Ha, I've seen plenty of women like you. Get lost, don't get in my way, or I'll call security!"

After saying that, Lily picked up the landline at the front desk and pretended to call security.

Upon seeing the landline, Ji Fuling suddenly remembered that Ye Nanqing had called her before.

When she heard that the three children had been taken to the beach, she rushed over and didn't save their numbers, but the call records are still there!

Thinking of this, Ji Fuling took out her phone, preparing to contact Ye Nanqing.

"Miss Ji!"

Ji Fuling was looking down at the records when she suddenly heard someone call her name.

Looking up, she saw that it was Ye Nanqing's assistant, Chen Heng, who had called her.

Chen Heng had just returned from running errands outside when he stepped into the company gate and saw Ji Fuling standing at the front desk.

Remembering Ji Fuling's special relationship with his boss, he quickly stepped forward, flashing his signature eight-tooth smile, "Miss Ji, are you here to see Mr. Ye?"

Seeing Chen Heng's polite, even respectful, attitude towards Ji Fuling, Lily, who was holding the landline and about to call security, was completely stunned.

Assistant Chen is the top person by Nightclub's side, and even he treats this woman so politely. Just who is this woman?!

Ji Fuling smiled faintly, "Assistant Chen, I need to talk to your boss, Mr. Ye, but I didn't think about making an appointment when I came over. I was just about to call him to let him know."

"Hey, you don't need an appointment to see Director Ye."

Based on his judgment, Chen Heng decisively said, "Let's go, I'll take you up directly."

If the nightclub owner were to meet Miss Ji, he would be overjoyed!

Ji Fuling put her phone away and politely said, "Then I'll have to trouble Assistant Chen."

"No trouble at all, not at all!"

Chen Heng, acting like a lackey, turned to Lily and instructed, "This is Miss Ji Fuling. From now on, when Miss Ji comes over, take her directly to the Nightclub's office, understand?"

"I'll remember..."

Lily gave a hesitant reply.

At this moment, she realized that the woman in front of her had a special relationship with Mr. Ye!

He's someone she can't afford to offend!

"Miss Ji, I'm so sorry. I was blind and spoke without thinking, which was very offensive. Please forgive me this time..."

People who work as receptionists are usually very smooth, so Lily immediately put on a smile, bowed and apologized to Ji Fuling.

Upon hearing this, Ji Fuling simply stated the matter at hand: "It was my own fault for forgetting to make an appointment, and it's not wrong for you to stop me. However, I would like to make a small suggestion: I hope you can be a little more polite in the future and not be so impulsive."

Lily quickly replied, "Miss Ji is right, I will be more careful in the future."

Ji Fuling didn't say anything more and followed Chen Heng toward the elevator.

Ye Nanqing's office is on the top floor of the Ye family's building.

After the elevator arrived, Chen Heng led Ji Fuling to the office door.

Faint conversations could be heard coming from inside the office.

Chen Heng was about to knock on the door when Ji Fuling stopped him.

She recognized that it was Mu Xinghe speaking.

"...I told you last time that the wound could easily get infected if it got wet, but you said it was fine. You didn't even change your clothes right away when they got wet, and you insisted on standing guard outside the bathroom. Now look what happened, the incubation period is over and it really got infected..."

Mu Xinghe sat on his desk in a rather unrefined manner, muttering to himself.

Ye Nanqing raised his eyes, a faint crimson glint in them, his voice dry and hoarse, "Nonsense."

He had always been in good health and never imagined he would actually get infected.

I was perfectly fine in the morning, but suddenly developed a fever in the afternoon.

"I'm doing this for your own good, and you think I'm being long-winded?"

Mu Xinghe said resentfully, then waved his hand and said, "Forget it, you're a patient now, I won't hold it against you."

"Seriously, you're burning up like this, stop looking at this stupid document and go back to take your medicine and rest. I don't want to see you die young..."

"Shut up, you're so noisy."

Unable to bear it any longer, Ye Nanqing interrupted Mu Xinghe in a deep voice.

Despite his poor condition, his words still carried an undeniable air of authority.

As Ji Fuling stood at the door, she listened to the conversation between the two, and her brows gradually furrowed.

Last time, when my wound got wet, I didn't change my clothes right away; I insisted on standing guard at the bathroom door...

In other words, when Ye Nanqing jumped into the sea to rescue her, the knife wound in his abdomen hadn't fully healed, which led to his current infection and fever?!

Chen Heng glanced at Ji Fuling, and seeing that she still didn't react, he raised his hand again to knock on the door.

No sooner had he raised his hand than Ji Fuling pushed the door open and entered.

Upon hearing the noise, Ye Nanqing, who was sitting at his desk, frowned and a look of displeasure suddenly appeared on his face.

He hates it when people enter his office without knocking.

Just as his anger was about to erupt, an unexpected figure entered his field of vision.

Upon seeing that face with its cool and aloof features yet radiant beauty, Ye Nanqing's displeasure vanished instantly. "Why are you here?"

Ji Fuling's gaze fell on his face. Seeing that he did not look well, her brows furrowed even more unconsciously. She took a step over and asked, "Do you have a fever?"

Ye Nanqing put down the documents and stood up, his voice a little hoarse, "It's nothing."

"Nothing's wrong, my foot!"

Mu Xinghe couldn't help but swear.

Then, he looked at Ji Fuling and said, “Miss Ji, you’ve come at the right time. This guy’s wound is infected and he has a fever. You should take care of him and make sure he goes back to rest so he doesn’t die at such a young age!”

"Don't listen to his nonsense."

Ye Nanqing gave Mu Xinghe a threatening look, warning him to shut up.

Mu Xinghe shook his head speechlessly.

Men who have never been in a relationship are just clueless!

When you were injured last time, you knew to play the victim to gain sympathy. Now that you have such a good opportunity, why don't you take advantage of it and just stubbornly pretend to be pitiful?

Mu Xinghe was unaware that Ye Nanqing simply didn't want Ji Fuling to recall the scene of falling into the water...

Ji Fuling didn't say anything and walked straight towards Ye Nanqing.

He was so tall that even on tiptoe she could only reach his face.

When the back of my hand touched his face, it was indeed burning hot.

"You have a high fever and you still say you're fine. Go to the hospital, or you'll get burned."

As Ji Fuling spoke, she grabbed his sleeve and pulled him toward the door.

Ye Nanqing grabbed her wrist with his other hand, his scarlet eyes glaring at her. "I told you, you can't go to the hospital."
