The voice, warm and deep, tinged with laughter, made her involuntarily open her eyes.

"Pretending to be asleep? Who taught you that?" He just joked, then quickly picked up his book and started reading.

She wasn't particularly emotional, and the ups and downs weren't very obvious, but on this night, a rare gentleness enveloped her, making her unable to resist falling for it.

This fever was caused by fatigue. After resting, her fever subsided and she recovered quickly. However, she can't go out for the next few days.

When Jiang Miao and the others learned that she had a fever after returning home, they couldn't help but ask her how she was doing. She immediately took a picture of herself lying on the sofa watching TV.

This time, instead of watching idol dramas, she started watching variety shows. She really liked a male singer who sang well and was funny, so she started watching his variety shows.

Qin Yan thought she was happy to have given up idol dramas, until Aunt Lan said it was because she now liked male singers on variety shows.

Qin Yan's heart, which had been at ease, suddenly jumped again. What?!

He took off his suit jacket and sat down next to her, wanting to see what was so charming about this male singer!

Assistant Wen followed hesitantly behind him. Had the boss forgotten why he came back? How could he still be in the mood to watch TV?

Assistant Wen glanced at his watch; finally, someone had noticed him. Yun Nuan handed him the fruit platter and spoke.

"Let's eat together."

He looked at Yun Nuan with pleading eyes, as if he had seen a savior, then pointed to his watch, expressing...

"Boss, there's another meeting."

Yun Nuan nodded knowingly, handed him the fruit plate and told him to eat it, promising to help him complete the task.

Assistant Wen looked at her gratefully, took the fruit plate, and began to eat. Yun Nuan's actions were simple; without saying a word, she pressed a button on the remote and turned off the TV.

Qin Yan was watching intently to see which male singer she liked. When the TV went black, he was stunned for a moment, then turned his head in confusion.

"Aren't you going to watch it?"

She was wrapped in a small blanket. The sunlight was bright today, casting large swaths of light on the floor. She looked at Qin Yan, her voice clear and crisp.

"You should go to work. I'm sleepy and want to go to sleep."

Qin Yan thought she was really sleepy. Although he couldn't see what the person looked like, he was quite happy that Yun Nuan wasn't looking anymore. He awkwardly picked up his clothes and said regretfully.

"That's a real shame. You go and rest. I'm going to the company."

Assistant Wen quickly put down the fruit plate and secretly gave Yun Nuan a thumbs up. Brilliant, truly brilliant.

Qin Yan went upstairs to the study to get some documents, but just as he reached the entrance, he turned back and asked her...

"Would you like to come to the company with me? There's a lounge there too."

Yun Nuan looked at him, puzzled. What was she doing at the company? What was Qin Yan thinking?

After asking, Qin Yan realized he was being a bit odd. Their relationship wasn't at the point where he could take her to his office to sleep. He coughed awkwardly and then explained to himself...

"I was worried you'd be bored at home. If you don't want to go, then don't go. Go and rest."

After saying that, she strode away without daring to look back. Yun Nuan wasn't really sleepy; it was just that Qin Yan had been acting strangely lately, hesitant to speak, and she didn't dare to talk to him, only daring to inquire about information from Aunt Lan.

She thought of what Guan Mingyue had said: Qin Yan liked her, but she had never understood what Qin Yan liked about her.

She's clearly not good at all; she's constantly sick and in trouble. Besides adding to other people's burdens, she's utterly useless. Qin Yan is an entrepreneur, not a philanthropist. How can he be so incompetent at making a calculation?

She doesn't deserve it at all. She doesn't deserve anyone's painstaking efforts to pull her along. She doesn't deserve anyone's feelings being invested in her only to end up with nothing. Qin Yan kept saying things would be alright, things would be alright.

He also knew how difficult and challenging it was to achieve those three words.

"Didn't you want to find that traditional Chinese medicine doctor? He recently returned to Huaxi Village."

Her thoughts were interrupted by a message notification; it was from Jiang Miao. After returning, she went to ask Jiang Miao about the traditional Chinese medicine doctor.

Jiang Miao's grandfather had a serious illness before, and it was this traditional Chinese medicine doctor who cured him, so she wanted to give it a try, just in case there was a chance, although the odds weren't very high.

"Can I go see him?" she replied to Jiang Miao, who quickly responded.

"Are you sure? You might as well let President Qin make the arrangements. That way you'll feel more at ease. If you go, your body won't be able to handle it."

Yun Nuan: "I don't want to keep troubling Qin Yan. He has missed a lot of work because of me. I'm the one who's sick. I should be the one taking the initiative."

Jiang Miao remained silent for a long time. After thinking it over, she suggested that the two of them meet and talk in detail, since Huaxi Village was not close to here.

She rested for several days after returning from her last trip. After telling Aunt Lan, she hesitated for a moment before asking Acheng to prepare the car. This time, she would have a bodyguard with her and wouldn't be going to any events. Aunt Lan helped her prepare her things and then let her go.

Jiang Miao chose a teahouse, a quiet and peaceful place suitable for conversation.

Seeing Yun Nuan come in, she quickly stood up and led her to a seat. This area was full of similar teahouses or antique shops, with bluestone bricks paving the outside. The locust trees had already finished blooming and were now just green leaves.

Yun Nuan could only drink warm water, so Jiang Miao asked the shopkeeper to bring her a pot of hot water and started chatting with her.

"Are you really planning to go by yourself?"

Yun Nuan nodded without thinking, but Jiang Miao looked at her with some difficulty, unsure whether to tell her something good or bad.

"Does President Qin know what to do?"

Yun Nuan silently lowered her head, looking at the warm water in the cup. Soon, it would turn into cold water, and after a night, it would be even more chilling than water in the refrigerator.

Patience will gradually wear off, so before everyone gets tired of her, she should be more self-aware, and even more self-aware.

He won't know, and I hope you won't tell him.

Jiang Miao was getting anxious. What should she do? Yun Nuan was really stubborn, and if President Qin found out, the two of them would definitely fight.

Adhering to the principle that the two of them shouldn't argue, she decided to try to persuade her again.

"You can talk to President Qin and ask him to arrange for someone to follow you. That way, everyone will feel at ease, don't you think?"

She let out a deep sigh; her heart condition made breathing difficult. She forced a helpless smile and replied to Jiang Miao.

"Qin Yan doesn't owe me anything. Whether I can live, and how long I can live, are all unknowns. Perhaps, as you say, Qin Yan likes me. But how long will that liking last? A year or two, or even longer, ten or eight years?"

And then what? I'll remain the same as I am now. When he gets tired of me, all the reasons he used to like me will become flaws, his reasons for being abandoned again.

What should I do then?
