Chapter 223 He Recognized It, But He Couldn’t Believe It
"Miss Si has slept for the entire day without eating. Young Master asked us to keep this soup warm, just in time for you to wake up." The servants quickly brought the medicinal soup and nutritious porridge that had been simmered for a long time.
A maid scooped up some soup and brought it to her mouth.
Ning Fengsheng was indeed very hungry. He smelled the fragrance and took a sip, but frowned because of the heat.
"Want to burn her to death?!" Nanchuan Shijue roared in a sinister voice.
The servant was so frightened that his face turned pale. He quickly stirred the soup spoon and blew on it carefully again and again. When the temperature was just right, he brought it to Ning Fengsheng's lips again.
Ning Fengsheng took a few sips and his stomach suddenly felt warm.
However, not having eaten for a long time made her more eager for food, and her eyes unconsciously drifted towards the meat slices in the bowl.
"Only feed her water? Not meat? Do you want to starve her to death!?" Nanchuan Shijue scolded again in a cold voice.
The maid hurriedly scooped up the meat slices and said, "Miss Si, be careful not to burn your mouth."
During the entire process, Nanchuan Shijue stood by, watching every move with sharp eyes, as if any servant would be executed on the spot if he made the slightest mistake.
Ning Fengsheng was full of doubts. This man was ferocious and spoke harshly yesterday. Although he still looked fierce now, every word he said showed his concern for her.
As the servant fed her, he explained, "Miss Si, you are ill and can only eat light food. These porridges and soups are made with medicinal herbs. The young master specially ordered the chef to make them. They are good for your health and very nutritious."
Another servant was removing the IV needle for her, and his movements were as gentle as possible, but he still attracted Nanchuan Shijue's angry glare: "Will you die if you move too gently?"
Ning Fengsheng finally couldn't help but look up at him, his eyes full of confusion.
His attitude did a 180-degree turn... What happened?
After finishing the meal, Nanchuan Shijue asked coldly, "Anything else you need?"
Ning Fengsheng shook his head: "No."
"No? Don't pee on the bed later!"
Ning Fengsheng looked at him in surprise. How did he know that she wanted to go to the bathroom?
However, her bladder was really swollen from all the injections she had taken.
With the help of the servant, Ning Fengsheng went to the bathroom to take care of his physiological needs and then lay back on the bed.
Nanchuan Shijue waved his hand to signal everyone to leave.
There were only the two of them left in the room, and the air seemed to freeze.
Nanchuan Shijue stood beside the bed, his eyes as sharp as an eagle, staring at her closely, as if he was examining her, or as if he was confirming something.
Ning Fengsheng was frightened by the stare and mustered up his courage: "Just say what you want to say. Otherwise, get out."
"Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere else?"
"Just a little dizzy."
"Just fainted, didn't burn him into a fool or idiot, and didn't lose his memory?"
Ning Fengsheng was speechless: "I'm fine, don't worry about me."
Suddenly, Nanchuan Shijue took out a mobile phone, and the screen lit up, showing the album interface -
"Explain." His voice was dangerously low.
Ning Fengsheng recognized that it was his own phone. The screen lock had been unlocked, and there was a photo of Nanchuan Spyker on the screen!
"Don't touch my things!" She stretched out her hand to grab them, but Nanchuan Shijue easily dodged her.
"Why are all these photos of me?" Nanchuan Shijue demanded fiercely. "Why is my profile picture the screensaver? My personal WeChat account has never been made public. How did you know this?"
Ning Fengsheng bit his lower lip, feeling extremely flustered and not knowing how to explain.
Nanchuan Shijue suddenly leaned over, grabbed her chin and forced her to look at him.
"Who are you?" His voice was filled with suppressed anger and...expectation? "You called my name in your sleep...Do you know me?"
The moment their eyes met, Ning Fengsheng's heart seemed to be gripped tightly by an invisible hand.
Those dark blue eyes… She had dreamed of them countless nights and missed them countless mornings.
And now, he was so close to her, but he couldn't recognize her.
Or rather, he recognized it but couldn't believe it.
"I saved your photo because I thought you were handsome. Someone like Mr. Nanchuan should have many admirers. It's not surprising to have one more of me, right?" Ning Fengsheng explained in a confused state. "I saw the WeChat account on Bai Yixun's phone... As for calling your name, that might have been nonsense from my coma."
"Nonsense?" Nanchuan Shijue sneered, "Why don't you call me Ji Yanli?"
"I've been locked up by you these past few days, and all I see is you. You threw me into the basement, so of course I only call you by your name... because you left such a deep impression on me."
"Why lie!?" Nanchuan Shijue's pupils narrowed.
"Everything I said is true..."
“You searched for my information in your browser!”
"I have a crush on you, so I want to know more about you..."
Ning Fengsheng felt a chill down his spine, but he pretended to be calm.
Nanchuan Shijue finally planned to return to Beizhou Kingdom and let her go, so he must not reveal any flaws at this time. Otherwise, it would be all over!
"Having a crush on me?" Nanchuan Shijue's red lips parted into a strange smile.
"You're handsome...isn't it normal to like you?"
"Ms. Si, have you seen me before? Otherwise, how could you have a crush on me from a distance? I'm far away in Beizhou Country, you wouldn't have a crush on me in your dreams?" Nanchuan Shijue wanted to twist this woman's head open to see what secrets were hidden inside.
"I learned from senior Bai Yixun that she has a fiancé like you. At first, I was just curious and searched for news about you... Who knew you were so handsome? I liked you so much that I saved you in my photo album. But when I met you, you were mean and a bad person, so I found that I didn't like you anymore..." Ning Fengsheng admired his ability to adapt to circumstances and told a lie that was flawless.
“…”
"Don't worry, I'll delete these photos when I get back. If I had known you were such a lousy guy, I wouldn't have had a crush on you."
"You'd better tell the truth, otherwise you know the consequences." Nanchuan Shijue narrowed his eyes and said in a cold tone.
"I'm telling the truth..."
Ning Fengsheng's voice suddenly got stuck because he saw Nanchuan Shijue stretching out his hand, with a baby figurine lying in his palm.
"His name is Nanchuan Yusen." He observed her expression.
“…”
"Why did you steal this? Are you secretly in love with him too?"
Ning Fengsheng took a deep breath. "I just wanted to see if Mr. Nanchuan's child would inherit your genes. I picked it up out of curiosity and examined it. Who knew you would suddenly appear? I was afraid you would be angry, so I didn't dare put it back..."
"Shengsheng..." He suddenly became hoarse, "Why did you lie to me?"
Ning Fengsheng's pupils constricted and his heart almost stopped beating.
He...what did he call her?
"You're playing tricks on me like this, watching me go crazy and angry for you like an idiot, do you think it's fun?" Nanchuan Shijue stared at her deeply with a bitter smile.
