"Yes, I'll go check on the young master. Call me if you need anything."

Qiao Wanwan lay down, feeling dizzy, and soon fell asleep.

She didn't know how much time had passed before she sensed something amiss and slowly opened her eyes.

Zhan Jingting sat on the edge of the bed, wiping her face with a towel.

"Did I wake you up?" The man looked at her gently. "I was worried you weren't sleeping comfortably, so I wiped you down."

"Thanks."

Zhan Jingting leaned down, his forehead touching hers. "Wanwan, since when did we need to be so polite to each other?"

At an incredibly close distance, Qiao Wanwan spoke softly, "Jing Ting, I'll ask you one more time, is there something you're hiding from me?"

"Why are we talking about this again?" Zhan Jingting said noncommittally. "Wanwan, sometimes, not asking is a kind of wisdom."

"Is that so?" Qiao Wanwan smiled faintly. "But I feel that things shouldn't be like this between us."

"Just know that I will never hurt you, and that's enough."

Qiao Wanwan closed her eyes wearily. "I'm tired. I want to rest."

"Okay, as the old man said, you should relax and rest more now."

......

After taking the medicine for two days, Qiao Wanwan gradually recovered.

She didn't stay in her room; she went downstairs in the evening.

Ruan Tang happily took her hand, "Sister-in-law, thank goodness, you're finally better. Your aunt and Brother Jingting were very worried about you."

Qiao Wanwan said politely, "You've been accompanying Mom to pick up Shiyi these past two days, thank you for your hard work."

"This is nothing. It's my duty to keep my aunt company."

Qiao Wanwan calmly withdrew her hand. "Where's Mom?"

“My aunt went to pick up Shiyi. I was just having a video conference with my supervisor abroad, so I couldn’t go.”

"Um."

It was time, but Ruan Wanyi and Shiyi had not returned yet.

Qiao Wanwan was a little anxious and instructed, "Aunt Zheng, call Mom and ask where she is."

"Yes." Just as Zheng Ma was about to make a call, Qiao Wanwan's phone suddenly rang.

She took out her phone and swiped to answer. Ruan Wanyi's anxious voice came from the other end of the line, "Wanwan, why isn't Jingting answering his phone? Oh no, Shiyi is missing!"
