"I won't sleep, because if I sleep you'll leave."

"...Fine, I won't leave then."

Zhan Jingting was overjoyed, "Really?"

"Really, I keep my word."

The man held her hand tightly. "Then you have to promise that when I wake up, you'll still be by my side."

"I promise."

The man then closed his eyes in relief.

Qiao Wanwan waited until he was fast asleep before removing the silver needles from his head.

"lady......"

"Shh..." Qiao Wanwan gestured for Jiang Dong to be quiet, "Let's talk outside."

After the two left the master bedroom and closed the door, Jiang Dong spoke, "Madam, it's a good thing you're back, otherwise we really wouldn't know what to do. Master Zhan is in a lot of pain, but because of your words, he's been holding back from using sedatives."

Qiao Wanwan felt a sharp pain in her heart.

"Madam, are you hungry? Let's go eat first. The food has been prepared and packed. Master Zhan was just about to bring it to you when he suddenly fell ill."

Qiao Wanwan followed Jiang Dong to the restaurant, where Zheng Ma was preparing to put the food from the insulated container back onto the plates.

Qiao Wanwan sat down. "No need to pour it, just eat it like this."

“Yes, young mistress.” Zheng Ma stepped aside.

Qiao Wanwan felt a tightness in her chest and had no appetite. She ate a few bites and then put down her chopsticks. "Jiang Dong, come with me for a moment."

"Yes." Jiang Dong followed Qiao Wanwan to the side hall and asked, "Madam, did you need something from me?"

"Is something wrong with you?" Qiao Wanwan smiled. "You've been hesitant to speak for a long time. What's on your mind? Just say it."

Jiang Dong hesitated for a moment, then steeled his heart and said, "Madam, even if you're angry today, I have to say what's on my mind. Do you remember the sexy lingerie in the room on the night you and Master Zhan got married?"
