Chapter 448 Fever
The night is like a thick inkstone, dyeing the entire city deep and hazy.
In the blink of an eye, the days passed.
Not long after, it was Ji Wan and Chi Wenyan's wedding anniversary, a day of great significance to both of them.
Ji Wan stood in front of the mirror and looked at himself carefully.
A champagne-colored velvet long dress outlined her exquisite figure. Her long hair was loosely tied up, revealing her slender white neck. Her earlobes were adorned with pearl earrings given by Chi Wenyan, and the warm luster of the earrings reflected the tenderness and expectation in her eyes.
On the dressing table, there was an opened velvet box, and inside it lay a pair of exquisite platinum cufflinks. They were the gift she carefully selected for Chi Wenyan.
Thinking of the surprised expression he might show when he received it, Ji Wan's lips unconsciously curved into a sweet arc.
Tonight, A Yan said he had prepared a special surprise for her. The location was kept strictly confidential, and she was only asked to arrive at the top-floor revolving restaurant in the city center, which was famous for its romance, at 7 o'clock on time.
I glanced at my watch and saw that the hands pointed to half past six, just the right time.
She picked up her small handbag and was about to go out when the bedroom door was suddenly pushed open.
Nanny Zhang's face was pale as she rushed in holding Nian Nian, her voice filled with tears: "Madam! It's bad! Nian Nian... Nian Nian suddenly had a high fever and vomited several times. She's a little confused no matter how I call her!"
The smile on Ji Wan's face froze instantly, his heart skipped a beat, and all the romance and beauty were shattered at this moment.
She rushed over and reached out to touch Nian Nian's forehead. The scorching heat came through her palm, burning her fingertips.
Nian Nian's face was flushed, her lips were chapped, and her originally lively big eyes were now half closed with tears hanging in the corners of her eyes. Her small body curled up weakly in her arms, and a faint moan of discomfort came from her throat.
"Niannian! Niannian! Look at me." Ji Wan's voice trembled uncontrollably, and her heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible big hand, causing her to feel so painful that she could hardly breathe.
"Ugh—" Nian Nian retched violently again, but only spit out some sour water, and her little body was bent like a shrimp.
"Let's go to the hospital, quick!" Ji Wan made a snap decision, not caring about anniversaries or surprises. She grabbed her coat and draped it around Nian Nian, not even bothering to change out of her dress and high heels. She rushed out, child in hand.
"Mrs. Zhang, please quickly take the baby's medical insurance card and my mobile phone wallet!" Her voice became sharp with anxiety.
As they sped along, the neon lights outside the car window flashed bizarrely, but Ji Wan had no intention of appreciating them.
She hugged the hot little person in her arms tightly, her heart burning with anxiety. She kept kissing Nian Nian's forehead and whispered to comfort her: "Don't be afraid, Nian Nian, I'm here. We will be at the hospital soon. Everything will be fine soon."
Panic and worry seized her entire mind, making her completely forget the phone in her pocket that she was supposed to dial, and forget the man who was waiting for her on the other side of the city.
In the city center, the Star Revolving Restaurant.
The melodious sound of violin flows in the air, and outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows is the dazzling city night view, like an overturned galaxy.
Chi Wenyan sat in the reserved best viewing seat. The dining table in front of him was covered with a white tablecloth, and a bunch of gorgeous red roses was placed in the center. The flickering candlelight reflected his handsome profile.
He looked at his watch and it was already 7:15.
Wanwan is always punctual, what happened today?
He waited patiently for another ten minutes, his brows furrowed slightly.
He took out his cell phone and wanted to call Ji Wan. As soon as his fingertips touched the screen, a woman in a fiery red tight dress, with a swaying figure, walked straight towards him with a wine glass in hand.
"Mr. Chi? What a coincidence, you are dining here too?" Su Jiujiu had just the right amount of surprise and a charming smile on her face, her voice so sweet that it was sickening.
She is the person in charge of a recent important cooperation project of the Chi Group, an ambitious and resourceful woman.
Chi Wenyan raised his eyes, his gaze indifferent and distant: "Boss Su."
He didn't like this kind of "coincidence", especially today.
Su Jiujiu seemed unaware of his indifference and stopped at the seat opposite him. Her gaze swept over the roses on the table and the tableware that was obviously prepared for the two of them. A hint of jealousy flashed across her eyes, which was then covered up by a perfect smile.
"Boss Chi, are you waiting for someone?" She asked knowingly, leaning forward slightly, deliberately letting the scenery at her neckline appear vaguely. "Do you mind if I sit down and wait for my friend? The view here is really great."
Chi Wenyan was about to refuse when he caught a glimpse of a faint reflection in a corner not far away. Was that a camera?
His dark pupils suddenly shrank.
Su Jiujiu obviously noticed it as well, and her smile became even brighter and more charming.
Just as Chi Wenyan was about to get up to avoid this unnecessary trouble, Su Jiujiu seemed to lose her balance, and with a soft cry of "Ouch", her body fell towards Chi Wenyan.
She didn't really fall down, but just accurately supported herself on the table with her hands, but her body was very close to Chi Wenyan. From a certain angle, it almost looked like she was nestling in his arms, and her face was facing Chi Wenyan, her red lips slightly parted, her eyes blurred, full of imaginative ambiguity.
The flash light flashed silently in a hidden corner.
Chi Wenyan's face darkened instantly, and the air pressure around him dropped to an alarmingly low level.
He leaned back in his chair suddenly, distanced himself from Su Jiujiu, his eyes icy cold, without a trace of warmth: "Mr. Su, please respect yourself."
Su Jiujiu's heart trembled when she saw his cold gaze, and the charming smile on her face almost disappeared.
She stood up, straightened her hair, and said coquettishly, pretending to be calm: "Boss Chi, what do you mean? I was just careless..."
"Get out." Chi Wenyan's voice was as cold as ice, without a trace of ups and downs, but it carried an unquestionable deterrent force.
The color on Su Jiujiu's face instantly faded, and embarrassment and humiliation surged into her heart.
She had never been treated like this by a man, especially in public. But facing Chi Wenyan's deep, stormy eyes, all her calculations and disguises fell apart. She could only bite her lip, turn around and walk away in embarrassment.
Chi Wenyan didn't even look at her panicked back, but glanced sharply at the corner where the flash had just appeared.
There was no one there.
He took out his cell phone and without hesitation, dialed Ji Wan's number.
"Sorry, the user you dialed is temporarily unavailable..." a cold prompt tone came.
Chi Wenyan's eyebrows twitched violently, and a strong sense of unease gripped him. Wanwan would never miss an appointment without a reason, and she would never fail to answer the phone.
