Chapter 84 As long as she doesn't betray the country, she'll always be his wife.
Chi Yanzhou didn't sleep all night.
After Xia Yuhuan left, Chi Yanzhou couldn't fall asleep at all.
Although he knew very well that Xia Yuhuan had left with Yan Hu, Yan Hu was his father's trusted confidant and absolutely trustworthy.
But with Aunt Zhao's experience as a precedent, he couldn't help but worry.
After all, Aunt Zhao had worked for the Chi family for decades, so in fact she was closer to them than Yan Hu.
Chi Yanzhou endured a agonizing night like this.
As time passed, Xia Yuhuan still hadn't returned, and Chi Yanzhou was getting increasingly anxious.
However, he kept Xia Yuhuan's words firmly in mind and dared not let his emotions fluctuate too much or too obviously. So he tried his best to control his emotions so as not to lose control and affect the toxins in his body.
He struggled between calmness and rage, his mind nearly exploding.
Fortunately, Xia Yuhuan returned just as he was about to lose his temper.
Chi Yanzhou's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally relaxed.
Hearing her soft breathing beside his ear, Chi Yanzhou fell asleep peacefully.
Even when Xia Yuhuan became restless in her sleep and rolled over to hug and pin him down, he wasn't awakened.
Xia Yuhuan slept straight through until noon the next day, when she woke up feeling extremely hungry.
After opening her eyes, she stared at the ceiling for a while to calm herself down before sitting up.
Xia Yuhuan rubbed her eyes and muttered softly, "I haven't stayed up all night in a long time. After suddenly staying up all night, I feel like my whole body is being hollowed out."
Xia Yuhuan raised her hand and shrugged her shoulders and arms, saying, "I used to stay up all night doing experiments and never felt anything, but now my body is probably in better shape than before, and I'm having such a strong reaction. It seems I need to take better care of my body in the future."
Chi Yanzhou also woke up, and was stunned when he heard this.
What does it mean that he used to stay up all night doing experiments? His wife grew up in the countryside; does she also do experiments?
But isn't his wife studying Traditional Chinese Medicine? What kind of experiments are needed?
Chi Yanzhou's head was buzzing.
Reason reminded him that what he said was incorrect and had many flaws.
But his feelings prevented him from overthinking, otherwise he might face utter ruin.
His heart was torn apart and ripped apart repeatedly in this entanglement.
However, the sudden fragrance that approached him made his whole body tense up.
Xia Yuhuan stared at Chi Yanzhou's face and murmured with a strange expression, "Strange, I'm the one who was dragged out of bed by Uncle Yan in the middle of the night and stayed up almost all night, right? Why do you look so haggard?"
"People who don't know you would think you stayed up all night."
It's so amazing!
Upon hearing this, Chi Yanzhou thought to himself: He had only stayed up all night, and he had been suffering for as long as she had been gone. He had also genuinely stayed up all night with her.
Xia Yuhuan took Chi Yanzhou's pulse and, after confirming that there was nothing wrong, took out some spiritual spring water from her spatial storage and fed it to him.
"Hey, drink some of my precious water. It'll make you feel less tired."
Chi Yanzhou felt a cool and sweet sensation slide down his throat, through his limbs and bones, and finally settle in his abdomen, where it warmed him.
This wasn't the first time he'd drunk this sweet water.
From the moment Xia Yuhuan married into the family, she fed him almost every day.
During his recovery period, I fed him three times a day.
Even the medicine he drank seemed to be brewed with this kind of water, as it was much less bitter than usual.
He didn't know what kind of water it was, but he knew very well that it was definitely not ordinary boiled water, and he could clearly feel the health benefits of drinking it.
"Yes, he looks much better now." Xia Yuhuan felt relieved when she saw that Chi Yanzhou's complexion had improved.
She was recuperating at home and taking care of him as well. If she ended up making him look even worse, then she would have truly failed in her duty.
It would damage her reputation if word got out!
Xia Yuhuan wiped away the water stains that Chi Yanzhou had accidentally left on the corner of his mouth with her hand, tucked him in, and then got up to go to the bathroom to wash up.
As Chi Yanzhou felt the lingering tenderness on the corner of her lips, the restlessness in his heart was suddenly calmed down.
It doesn't matter what kind of person the young wife is or what mysteries surround her.
All he needs to know is that she treats him well and has no ill intentions, and that she loves her country and would not do anything to harm it. That's enough for him.
How could she possibly have any bad intentions if she was willing to cooperate with Uncle Yan after being woken up in the middle of the night?
At this moment, Xia Yuhuan had no idea that she had almost been completely betrayed by herself.
Although she hasn't been completely sold out yet, Chi Yanzhou is already starting to have doubts about her identity.
Chi Yanzhou is an extremely capable person, the kind of person who can move an entire planet if given a lever.
If he has doubts about Xia Yuhuan and insists on investigating her after waking up, the abnormality in her body will be impossible to hide.
All we can say now is that, thankfully, they both harbored goodwill towards each other and had no ill intentions whatsoever.
After washing up, Xia Yuhuan went downstairs to eat.
"Sister Yu Huan, you're up? The food I prepared for you is still warming up in the pot. I'll go and bring it to you right away," Wei Ziyi said with a smile when she saw Xia Yu Huan.
"Okay, thank you, Ziyi," Xia Yuhuan replied with a smile.
When Aunt Zhao saw Xia Yuhuan, she asked with concern, "Yuhuan, is your injury flaring up again? Are you feeling unwell? Why did you sleep until so late?"
Xia Yuhuan smiled, but her mind was racing, trying to come up with a reason to respond.
Wei Ziyi happened to bring out the dishes at that moment and said, "Didn't Madam say this morning that she chatted with Sister Yuhuan too late yesterday? Sister Yuhuan might get up very late today. Aunt Zhao, have you forgotten?"
Aunt Zhao exclaimed, "Really? Did Madam say that this morning? I forgot. Maybe I'm getting old and my memory isn't what it used to be. Yu Huan, please don't take offense."
She smiled, though she looked somewhat embarrassed.
Upon hearing this, Xia Yuhuan thought to herself that it was fortunate she hadn't rushed to answer, otherwise, if the answer didn't match, it would have been troublesome.
So, was Aunt Zhao deliberately testing her?
"It's alright, Aunt Zhao. Everyone forgets things sometimes. It's not just you. Sometimes I even have my keys in my hand and still look for them everywhere."
"Am I young enough? I still forget things easily, don't I?" Xia Yuhuan said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Aunt Zhao said, "Then Yu Huan, you eat first, I'll go clean."
"good."
Xia Yuhuan ate her meal alone, but her mind was filled with the data she had analyzed during the experiment in the early hours of the morning.
After reviewing the results of yesterday's experiment in her mind, Xia Yuhuan thought about the follow-up experiments.
She hasn't fully extracted and analyzed the toxins in Wang Qi's poisonous blood yet, and she'll definitely need to do a lot of experiments. She can't always be a night owl and go out to the secret base in the middle of the night to do experiments, can she?
After she finishes her experiment, at least she can come back to catch up on sleep and has the spiritual spring water to replenish her energy and restore her body. But what about Jiang Zhicheng and Yan Hu?
They're not like her; they have to work during the day, and they won't be able to keep up that level for more than a few days before their health suffers!
Xia Yuhuan was just thinking when Wei Ziyi's voice came from the doorway.
"Sister Yuhuan, someone is looking for you."
