The girl who was scolded immediately teared up, but still stubbornly stuck out her neck and retorted.

"What's wrong with me greeting President Qin? Why are you treating me like a thief? You're no better. You used to look down on Yun Nuan, but now you're all eagerly following her around taking care of her."

Jiang Miao's expression changed slightly, but she looked at the girl with disdain, her eyes cold, and replied without any politeness.

"We just wanted to be friends with her. What's wrong with friends looking out for each other? But your schemes are disturbing others. You don't like Yun Nuan, but you still want to get close to President Qin. If we hadn't been stopping you, you probably would have been trying to flag down a car by now."

To put it bluntly, you really don't deserve to be friends with Yun Nuan. I regret calling you here today. If it weren't for President Qin's concern that Yun Nuan was too lonely, and his request for us to bring Yun Nuan out often...

Otherwise, how could you possibly have the chance to be with us? Put away your unrealistic ideas. What's yours is yours, and what's not yours, don't covet. If you were more upright and honest, I wouldn't have to come here and publicly refute and scold you.

The girl was speechless after being confronted. She stammered for a long time without being able to say a word in rebuttal. Jiang Miao had seen too many people like this before. She was too lazy to talk to them in the past, and she didn't care. But now that President Qin had already shown such courtesy, it would be disloyal of them to ignore him.

The matter Qin Yan asked for was last month when Yun Nuan was discharged from the hospital. Qin Yan specially arranged to send gifts to her and Guan Mingyue, but Qin Yan didn't say anything.

They were simply grateful that the two of them had come to see Yun Nuan, and hoped that they could take good care of her in the future. For the first time, the two of them were at a loss for words.

Who is Qin Yan? He's the manager of the Qin Group, someone even his own parents would flatter. Guan Mingyue was so scared she couldn't speak. However, Jiang Miao and Guan Mingyue understood what he meant.

So the two of them discussed how to invite Yun Nuan out without seeming abrupt. Although it was because of Qin Yan, they genuinely cared about Yun Nuan and were happy that she had met such a person.

Only the three of them knew about this. Jiang Miao didn't even tell Lin Yu, nor did she want Yun Nuan to know. She just wanted Yun Nuan to have fun.

Inside the car, Qin Yan stared at Yun Nuan. After hesitating for a long time, he finally placed his hand on her head and rubbed it, as if to cover up some mark. Only after doing this did a satisfied smile appear on his lips.

Yun Nuan was resting with her eyes closed, completely unaware of Qin Yan's thoughts. This man was full of schemes; if she were to start arguing with him, Yun Nuan would be exhausted every day.

"Did you have fun today?"

He looked at the backpack beside him; the water was gone, and the biscuits were all eaten, so he must be hungry.

"Happy, very happy." She leaned to one side, exhausted, but that didn't diminish the joy in her words.

He carefully moved her head, which was about to hit the glass window, to his side, and she curled up against his chest, spontaneously finding a comfortable position.

"So you want to come out and play every day from now on?"

Her voice was starting to slur, and she was probably still a little excited. She was pouting, and Qin Yan had to look down to hear what she was saying.

"No, this kind of event only needs to be held once a month. I'm so tired, Qin Yan, please stop talking."

Qin Yan gently patted her back and slowly coaxed her to sleep. Her face became abnormally flushed. Qin Yan lowered his head and touched her forehead, and found that her body temperature was rising again.

He opened the medicine box in front of him, took out a fever-reducing patch and applied it to her forehead. Yun Nuan felt a cool sensation and moved slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable.

She struggled to open her eyes, and Qin Yan's hand covered them. A voice, barely audible, whispered in her ear.

"Go to sleep, you'll feel better after a good night's sleep."

He was typing on his phone with his other hand, telling Aunt Lan to prepare some food and medicine. After doing that, he withdrew his hand and hugged her tightly.

From the initial awkwardness and panic when facing her illness, to now handling everything with ease.

But he couldn't bear all of this for her, and what he could do was really nothing. The sense of powerlessness that arose inside him often tugged at his heartstrings, and being in this cramped space made it hard for him to breathe.

When the car arrived at the Sandalwood Palace, he put his arm around her legs and picked her up. Aunt Lan was already waiting at the door, her eyes filled with nervousness. Yun Nuan often had fevers, although everyone was used to it.

But every time she was nervous and worried, she was like a porcelain doll, afraid that something was broken and they hadn't noticed and couldn't fix it.

"Is everything ready?" With a deliberately lowered voice and steady steps, Aunt Lan looked at the fever-reducing patch already on Yun Nuan's forehead and felt much relieved. She quickly turned back to continue his question.

"Mr. Qin, everything is ready."

Qin Yan sat in the restaurant holding Yun Nuan, pinching her face and shaking it slightly, trying to wake her up.

"Nuan Nuan, wake up, eat something first and then take your medicine, okay?"

Yun Nuan opened her eyes and saw Qin Yan's magnified face right in front of her. She tried to push him away, but her hands were too weak. She asked, feeling dizzy...

"Do I have a fever again?"

She struggled to get up, but Qin Yan pressed her down, saying, "Don't move."

Yun Nuan saw the food and medicine in front of her. She didn't say anything, but took the initiative to move closer. Qin Yan sighed helplessly, then picked up the bowl, scooped up a spoonful, blew on it, and put it to her lips.

Hearing the sigh, Yun Nuan felt a sudden pain in her heart. She looked at the medicinal porridge, hesitated for a moment, and then opened her mouth.

Qin Yan lowered his eyes to observe her changing emotions, and then spoke abruptly.

"Why are you thinking so much when you're sick? Nuannuan, no one thinks you're a nuisance. I'm only sighing because you're overthinking things again."

Did you have a great time going out? If you're happy, let's just keep that happy feeling. It's just a little illness, you'll definitely get better. And look how strong you are this time, you've managed to hold on for so long, which means your illness is slowly getting better.

Stop overthinking, okay? If I were blaming you, would I still feed you? You're overestimating my kindness."

He analyzed the situation for her in a deep voice, word by word. He made no attempt to downplay his own actions, not wanting to see her fall into self-blame again. The last experience was too unforgettable, and he was afraid that she might do something rash again.

She didn't answer. She ate as much as Qin Yan fed her, and remained silent even after finishing her medicine and being taken back to her room.

Qin Yan didn't make things difficult for her. He covered her with the blanket, pulled up a chair, and sat down next to her to watch.

Yun Nuan closed her eyes, but her eyeballs were still moving around. He knew that Yun Nuan was thinking about something again. He looked and found a storybook on her bedside table. He picked it up and flipped through the pages.

There was a bookmark tucked inside, clearly indicating that she had seen this place. He put it aside and then picked up a tissue to wipe the sweat from her forehead.

"If you can't sleep, how about I read you a storybook? Sick people have the right to request any service, so seize the opportunity."
