Shang Xian immediately closed her eyes; she knew without even thinking that Ning Beiyao had returned.
All she has to do now is pretend and use her acting skills to save her life.
As soon as Ning Beiyao entered, he saw Wang Ma carrying a bowl of Chinese medicine, sighing and looking around anxiously. When she saw Ning Beiyao, the worry on her face immediately disappeared, and she quickly went over to him, saying anxiously, "Young Master, you're finally back! Madam refuses to drink her medicine no matter what, and has been sleeping in the garden all day."
He came back at this time because Wang Ma called him, saying that his wife was not taking her medicine and that if this continued, she would definitely have to be hospitalized again.
She just got back from the hospital a few days ago. If she's allowed to go back to the hospital again, let alone what the Ji family will do, her mother will definitely start nagging her again.
Whether it's work or other matters, he prioritizes Ji Yi's health, so he returned early.
Ning Beiyao reached out and took the Chinese medicine: "I'll go."
As he spoke, he walked towards the back garden. Two maids in the back garden greeted Ning Beiyao softly, "Sir."
They all knew that the lady of the house was in poor health, so they dared not make too much noise. Moreover, they had all seen how much their husband cared for his wife, so they treated Ji Yi with utmost respect at home.
Ning Beiyao waved his hand, signaling them to leave. Only the two of them remained in the back garden.
He watched from afar as Ji Yi lay serenely in the rocking chair that swayed occasionally. Her face was still pale. She rarely wore makeup, but her face was still delicate. She usually spent her time either at home or in the hospital and rarely went out. Besides, no one would feel comfortable letting her go out alone, including him.
Although their marriage was a business arrangement, he knew that this woman was too weak and needed protection, so he never mistreated her. However, she always remained calm and indifferent, as if everything was none of her business, and there was nothing he could do about it.
Shang Xian heard the footsteps getting closer and closer, and felt someone standing in front of her. She slowly opened her eyes and shielded them with her hand. Standing in front of her was a tall man in a white suit. This should be Ning Beiyao.
He stood facing the light, about 1.85 meters tall, with sculpted features, fair skin, and a pair of captivating black eyes fixed on her. His lips, which had been tightly pursed, curled slightly when he saw Shang Xian looking at him.
Ning Beiyao is a rare and stunningly handsome CEO, but the most stunning woman she has ever met is Shen Yi, so she is not particularly allergic to Ning Beiyao's appearance, but simply admires him.
Shang Xian glanced at him once before looking away, lowering her eyes and refusing to look at him again.
Ning Beiyao was used to her calm and indifferent demeanor. With a gentle smile, he gently picked her up and sat her on the rocking chair, while she sat sideways on his lap.
A hint of confusion flashed in Shang Xian's eyes, but he quickly concealed it.
He picked up the medicine, held Shang Xian in front of him, and fed her the medicine with a spoon.
Seeing that she remained unmoved, Ning Beiyao sighed: "How can you get better if you don't drink your medicine? Be good, take a sip."
His tone was too gentle, which puzzled Shang Xian even more. Even if Ning Beiyao didn't love Ji Yi, he still treated her with great care, but this was a bit too good to her...
Shang Xian sniffed and began to act in a calm voice: "You guys always make me drink medicine every day, you have no idea how awful it tastes."
Ning Beiyao paused slightly in his hand holding the spoon and bowl. This was the first time Ji Yi had spoken so much to him on her own initiative, and why did he hear a slight hint of coquetry in her tone...?
