Chapter 155: Uncle and nephew become lovers?
"Little friend, are you awake?" Dan Anwen gently knocked on Gu Ji's door with his slender fingers.
After a long while, there was still no sound coming from inside.
Dan Anwen frowned and glanced at her watch. Even if the child was a heavy sleeper, she wouldn't still be asleep by almost noon. Besides, it was her birthday today, and they were going to celebrate with her at Wuyun Manor in the afternoon.
Hopefully nothing unexpected will happen.
Without thinking twice, Dan Anwen turned the doorknob slightly hastily.
What comes into view is a dimly lit environment with the curtains drawn tightly shut, and by the faint light, a corner of the thin blanket on the bed is bulging, and you can vaguely see that the person on the bed is curled up.
Moreover, the temperature in the room made his body shiver suddenly.
Dan Anwen pulled back the curtains, and light streamed in instantly. The person on the bed let out a soft moan, closing their eyes even tighter in discomfort, their delicate brows furrowing.
Her face was flushed and sweaty, her black hair was soaked with sweat, her lips were dry and pale, and her whole body was curled up in the quilt.
Upon seeing this, Dan An immediately placed the back of his hand on her forehead, the scalding heat making his fingertips tremble.
"Little girl, wake up." Dan Anwen brushed the stray hairs from her forehead to her temples and said in a gentle voice in her ear.
Gu Ji didn't open his eyes, but impatiently turned his head away, shrinking his whole body even more.
With a worried look in her eyes, Dan Anwen turned the bedroom air conditioner to heating mode and went downstairs to ask Aunt Zhang to call the family doctor.
When she returned, Gu Ji was almost huddled on the edge of the bed, which startled Dan Anwen so much that she took three steps in two to rush into the room, preventing her head from hitting the ground.
"Cold..." Gu Ji closed his eyes, frowned, his pale lips slightly parted, and spoke weakly, as if he were humming through his nose.
When she touched Dan Anwen's warm hand, her expression softened a little, but she kept complaining that she felt unwell.
Upon touching the heat source, she gripped his fingers tightly, seemingly trying to pull him, this great heat source, into the blankets.
Dan An heard her keep saying she was cold, so he turned the air conditioner up a few degrees and said gently, "Little one, let go of my hand first, I'll get you a cold towel, and you won't feel uncomfortable in a bit."
Gu Ji was probably delirious with fever, but he stubbornly refused to let go of the hard-won heat source in his hand. Fortunately, Aunt Zhang came in just in time.
"Give it to me." Dan Anwen took the cold towel that Aunt Zhang brought over and placed it on her burning forehead.
Seeing that she wouldn't let go of his hand no matter what, he had no choice but to say to Aunt Zhang, "Aunt Zhang, could you please go to the bathroom and get a basin of warm water?"
Aunt Zhang responded and quickly went into the bathroom to get water.
When she scooped out the warm water, wrung out the towel, and was about to wipe Gu Ji with her hands, Dan Anwen stopped her, saying, "Give it to me."
Aunt Zhang was worried that it would be inconvenient for him to operate with one hand, so she said, "Let me wipe it for her, it's inconvenient for you to do it with one hand."
Dan An looked at Gu Ji's fair little hand that was sticking out of the quilt with a helpless expression, and had no choice but to let Aunt Zhang wipe it for her.
When she reached Zhao Zhao's neck, Aunt Zhang hesitated for a moment and said, "Sir, you can go out first. I'll wipe Zhao Zhao's body."
It's best to wipe away the sweat promptly after a fever, otherwise the body will absorb more heat, and she will keep complaining of feeling cold.
Dan Anwen pursed her lips and used some force to pry open his slender, white fingers. Her knuckles were white from gripping his hand so tightly.
The warm heat source disappeared, and Gu Ji hurriedly opened his groggy eyes, looking at Dan Anwen with a wronged expression, "Cold...cold...hands."
Seeing the figure getting further and further away from her, she pouted and looked pitiful, as if she was about to cry.
Her murmured voice, coupled with her coquettish tone and watery eyes, made the man pause in his retreat.
Seeing this, Aunt Zhang immediately put her hand into Gu Ji's palm, trying to give her some warmth and make her stop clinging to the man.
But Gu Ji, as if recognizing a person but not a source of heat, threw a tantrum and broke free from Aunt Zhang's hand, stretching out her arm to take back Dan Anwen's hand.
Her watery eyes softened the man's heart, so he had no choice but to put his hand back into her palm. This time, she held it even tighter, afraid that he would pry it open again.
Dan Anwen sighed softly and looked at Aunt Zhang, "You can go out first, I'll wipe her body."
Aunt Zhang's eyes widened instantly, filled with disbelief. The towel in her hand fell to the carpet, and her voice trembled as she spoke, "Sir, you are...?"
She couldn't bring herself to say the rest. Zhao Zhao was a grown woman now, not a two or three-year-old child. How could she let a grown man see her body?
Moreover, the two are uncle and nephew, although they are not blood-related uncle and nephew.
Dan Anwen saw Aunt Zhang's reaction and curled his lips into a smile. "She's my girlfriend now."
After saying that, he turned his gaze back to his own face and gently touched the warmth of her forehead.
Aunt Zhang swallowed hard and repeated Dan Anwen's words, "Is she your girlfriend now?"
Aunt Zhang felt like her brain was short-circuiting. Had she misheard something because she was senile?
Are the uncle and nephew now lovers?
Dan Anwen patiently repeated, "She's my girlfriend now, so I'm here to wipe her body. You go and make some easily digestible food; she'll be hungry once the fever goes down."
Aunt Zhang nodded blankly, then walked towards the door in a daze, her steps slightly unsteady, as if she couldn't quite get a foothold.
After closing the door, Aunt Zhang still felt that the world was somewhat surreal. She stood with her back to the door for a long time before slowly walking downstairs.
She said that the way her husband and Zhao Zhao interacted lately seemed very strange.
At first, she thought their relationship was more stable, and she was happy for Zhao Zhao because of this.
After all, with the powerful figure in the Dan family backing them up, life shouldn't be too difficult in the future.
In the past, when the two of them ate at the table, Mr. Dan had eaten dishes that were frequently picked up by Zhao Zhao.
But this was the first time she had ever seen Mr. Dan eat the leftover food from Zhao Zhao's bowl.
That day, Zhao Zhao was doing her homework in her room and got hungry, so I asked her to make me a bowl of noodles. She was full after eating half of it.
When Zhao Zhao was about to go back upstairs, she ran into her husband, who was also coming home from working overtime and said he was hungry. She originally wanted to go into the kitchen to make him another bowl of noodles, but he simply moved the bowl that Zhao Zhao had eaten from and started eating from it.
Zhao Zhao's expression was perfectly normal, and she did not stop the man's actions.
At the time, she didn't think much of it, but now that they're boyfriend and girlfriend, she wouldn't care if there was any of his saliva in the food.
Aunt Zhang stirred the millet porridge in the pot, her eyes unfocused, nodding or shaking her head from time to time.
It's a good thing that Zhao Zhao has a solid support system. After all, she feels that no man outside is as good as her husband. He comes from a wealthy family, can provide Zhao Zhao with a comfortable and happy life, and has no bad habits.
Most importantly, the extent to which Mr. Dan dotes on Zhao Zhao is probably unparalleled in the world; she has witnessed it all over the past two years at the Jinshan Villa.
that is......
