Chapter 191
Yunxi listened quietly, a smile always on her face.
She had originally planned to feign fainting so that Shen Rang would dislike Yun Wan even more and she could get a few days of rest. She never expected that Shen Rang would go directly to Liuyun Garden.
Yunxi raised her hand and pressed it against her chest.
It's warm and cozy here.
Just then, footsteps sounded, and Jixiang and Le'an quickly stood up.
Shen Rang slowly went upstairs and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Yun Xi had already woken up.
Although she had woken up, her high fever persisted, and her cheeks remained flushed with a sickly redness.
Seeing Yunxi struggling to sit up, Shen Rang quickly stepped forward and gently pressed down on her shoulders: "Your fever hasn't gone down yet, don't move."
Yunxi nodded obediently.
"Doctor, when will the fever break?" Shen Rang sat down on the edge of the bed.
Jixiang quickly said, "The doctor said that the fever would subside within half an hour after Auntie woke up. But Auntie has just woken up, so we may have to wait a while longer."
"Okay, you can go now."
"yes."
Jixiang and Le'an went down the stairs, leaving only the two of them on the second floor.
He cupped Yunxi's burning hand in his palm and said calmly, "I just went to Liuyun Garden. The young mistress has exempted you from the morning and evening greetings. You don't need to get up early anymore and can rest well."
Yunxi blinked incredulously: "Really?"
Shen Rang chuckled: "Would I lie to you?"
So he watched helplessly as Yunxi's eyes reddened and tears welled up in them.
Before Shen Rang could even ask what was wrong, Yun Xi threw herself into his arms.
Shen Rang embraced her, his large hand landing on her smooth, silky black hair, unconsciously caressing it.
After a long while, Yunxi's muffled voice finally rang out: "Zirong, you're so good to me."
Shen Rang smiled slightly: "This is what I should do."
He still felt it wasn't enough.
"Okay, hurry up and lie back down, don't get cold."
Yunxi let go of his hand and lay down following Chen Rang's force, a joy flashing through her heart.
This is truly an unexpected delight.
Without the daily morning and evening prayers, she would have suffered far less.
Seeing Yunxi's teary eyes, Chen Rang felt a pang of sadness in his heart.
Yunxi always says she's fine, but she looks like this after being exempted from the morning and evening greetings. It's clear that Yunxi has suffered a lot of grievances, but she just hasn't let him know.
Just then, footsteps came from the stairs.
It was Le'an who came up: "Young Master, Aunt, the Young Mistress has arrived."
"Please," Shen said.
Not long after Le'an left, Yun Wan came over.
The rain outside had lessened considerably, and Yun Wan's skirt was damp, but she seemed completely oblivious, heading straight for Yun Xi as soon as she arrived.
"Little sister, are you alright?" Yun Wan's face was full of concern. "I really am so sorry. I knew you would come every morning, but I forgot to tell the people in the courtyard in advance. It's all my fault that you suffered so much!"
The concern on her face was genuine.
Yunxi looked at her, her heart turning ice-cold.
As expected of Yun Wan, she's a perfect actress.
In her past life, she was able to deceive the Yun family while doing those things to her. Now, she's just putting on a show of sisterly affection in front of Shen Rang, which is naturally easy for Yun Wan to handle.
But it's just acting; anyone can do that.
