Chapter 879 Reconciliation
Xie Xubai looked at the antipyretic medicine in his hand and said in a much softer tone, "Take the antipyretic medicine first."
If you continue to burn, you might turn into a fool.
Huo Sijiao turned her face away and said in a hoarse voice, "I don't want to eat."
Sick people have the right to be willful. She had been feeling unwell since the middle of the night. She just endured it alone and drifted off to sleep. Now she was exhausted, as if all her energy had been drained away. It was really unbearable.
Now seeing Xie Xubai, he was actually a little angry.
"Be obedient. You'll get better only after taking the medicine." Xie Xubai coaxed her patiently, "Don't be angry. Take the medicine first."
Huo Sijiao turned her head and refused to take the fever-reducing medicine.
Xie Xubai had a headache. "Don't gamble with your body."
"I'll eat later." Huo Sijiao didn't want to give in, but she was afraid that she would really get burned and become a fool.
"I called my sister-in-law and asked if she could come over."
"Xie Xubai!"
Huo Sijiao snatched the pill from his hand and swallowed it in one gulp. "Don't disturb my brother and sister-in-law. They are busy. It's just a fever. It's nothing serious."
She didn't want her sister-in-law to worry about her.
Xie Xubai threatened her like this because he knew her weakness.
snort!
"The kitchen cooked some millet porridge and I had someone bring it up. You ate such greasy food last night, and the doctor said you should eat lighter foods for the next few days."
Huo Sijiao was a little confused when she heard Xie Xubai talking about last night.
Then I remembered her and the old lady eating and drinking lavishly, showing off their barbecue and beer. The two of them almost became sworn brothers after getting drunk.
She pursed her lips and said, "I just ate a little bit."
"Did you get acute gastroenteritis after eating a little?"
"Who? Grandma, did you get acute gastroenteritis?" Huo Sijiao felt like she was really going to die. She had actually been drinking beer and eating barbecue with such an old lady, and she had even caused her to have problems.
I felt a little guilty for a moment.
She looked at Xie Xubai and asked, "How's grandma?"
"She's taking medicine and resting, and her health is pretty good. It's just that she's getting older, and her family has been discouraging her from eating foods high in oil and salt. She has three highs, and her family has hired a nutritionist to manage her diet."
Huo Sijiao felt more and more guilty, "Actually, grandma has been secretly ordering takeout."
She directly revealed the takeouts that the old lady often ordered, including the store name and address, as well as the special dishes that the old lady had boasted to her about last night.
"That's all. The barbecue we had last night is something the old lady has been eating for decades."
She lowered her head and looked kind of cute.
Xie Xubai's face was filled with a smile, "You betrayed her."
"You can give her some food occasionally, otherwise life is really hopeless."
"Um."
Xie Xubai poured her a glass of warm water and handed it to her lips.
Huo Sijiao took two sips.
She didn't feel as uncomfortable as when she just woke up. She leaned against Xie Xubai's arms and rubbed against him. "What did you mean by kicking me out of the room last night?"
It feels a bit like being coquettish, but also like settling a score afterwards.
Xie Xubai said indifferently, "I went to take a shower after you left last night."
Huo Sijiao understood immediately and said arrogantly: "Serves you right!"
But this one sentence already pleased her.
Xie Xubai was also very calm, "I really deserve it."
Huo Sijiao's voice was soft and tentative: "If we don't divorce, but I want you to live with me in Haicheng, is that okay?"
"Am I marrying into the family?"
"No. We'll live in both places, half a year in Haicheng and half a year in the capital. I don't want to leave my hometown, and I can't be selfish and ask you to sacrifice too much for me. So, let's each take a step back. Is that okay with you?"
In fact, after what the old lady said last night, she no longer wanted to get a divorce.
Xie Xubai lowered his head and asked, "The reason you want to divorce me is because you don't want to stay in the imperial capital forever?"
"Yeah. I'm a little scared. After my sister-in-law and brother leave the capital, I'll be stuck in this unfamiliar place. I might never learn to grow up, even if I open a beauty salon here."
Huo Sijiao doesn't have any lofty ideals, she just wants to be a young lady protected by her family.
Do something you like, you don’t have to be particularly successful.
"You want to divorce me just because of this?"
Huo Sijiao puffed out her cheeks, "Yeah."
"I can promise you to go to Haicheng."
"Really?" She had thought Xie Xubai cared deeply about the capital's cause and would never agree to such a condition. There weren't many men like her brother left in the world.
But I didn't expect Xie Xubai to agree directly.
"real."
"Then we have a deal, you can't lie to me."
Xie Xubai said helplessly, "You are the only one who would lie to me. Can I cancel the agreement?"
"Can."
Huo Sijiao stretched out her finger and hooked his hand: "Let's just forget about it and never mention it again. Then you can't kick me out tonight?"
"Um."
Xie Xubai rubbed her head.
He knew she wasn't that into him, but she wasn't indifferent either.
Let’s slowly develop feelings for each other in the future. Little Chili also has her soft spots.
…
Compared to the warmth of the Xie family, the Pei family is different.
Last night's engagement party has become a laughing stock throughout the capital.
Zhao Yaru was injured and hospitalized, looking numb.
Since she entered the hospital last night, no one from the Pei family had come to see her. However, her mother-in-law called her in the middle of the night and called her a jinx.
They sisters are all vixen!
Zhao Yaru's hand hurts.
The doctor said the wound was very deep and would most likely leave a scar. She would never be able to wear a dress that exposed her arm again. The thought of the hideous scar made her heart ache even more.
Pei Zheng didn't come to see her or call her.
Pei Gan is more like a coward who is afraid of getting involved in his brother's family disputes.
Zhao Yaru leaned against the hospital bed, the anesthesia wearing off. Her hands ached, and despite the cold of winter, a cold sweat broke out on her forehead. Her lips were dry and chapped, and there was no one around to care for her.
The nurse felt sorry for her and said she would find a caregiver for her, charging her a daily fee.
But the hospital is busy and has no staff available at the moment, and they said the earliest they can arrive is in the afternoon.
She even had trouble going to the bathroom. The Pei family hadn't bothered to care for her since they sent her here. They didn't even arrange a high-end ward for her. They just kept her in an ordinary single room, which looked small and had poor soundproofing.
She didn't sleep last night, listening to the patient next door screaming in pain all night.
The Pei family is so cruel.
Zhao Yaru turned over and wanted to drink some water, but her right hand was inconvenient. She could only reach it with her left hand, and the cup seemed to be against her and fell directly to the ground.
The glass of water also splashed all over the floor.
The whole world is against her!
Knock knock.
There was a knock on the open door, and a fragrant breeze blew in, filling the room with a strong scent of perfume.
