"No, I was just asking. Auntie, I told you, even if Uncle is busy, he will still call you."
Jiang Susu's mood was visibly much better today.
So that means the phone call was still useful.
Fortunately, she reminded Shang Yanxing last night, otherwise her aunt would have been so heartbroken.
"Auntie, it's almost the weekend. If you're bored at home, I can go out with you. It would be nice if we could go for a walk and relax a bit."
If Shang Yanxing were at home, she wouldn't be able to bother Jiang Susu, so since she had the opportunity, it was good to go out for a walk.
"Sure, as long as you have time."
"Sure, I'm free this weekend."
After their conversation, Jiang Susu and Shang Liqian ate their breakfasts, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.
In fact, Shang Liqian is usually a very enthusiastic person, but she doesn't have much contact with Jiang Susu now, so she is a little reserved.
Moreover, seeing how quiet Jiang Susu was, she was afraid that Jiang Susu wouldn't like her noisy behavior.
So sometimes, I rarely speak.
It started raining in the afternoon. Jiang Susu stood in front of the French windows, watching the rain drizzle outside.
This inevitably reminded her of her time at Peking University, when she and Shen Shiyan were together.
One time, it was raining heavily. She rushed back to her dormitory after finishing her meal and was just about to change her wet clothes when she received a call from Shen Shiyan.
Shen Shiyan asked her to pick up his takeout at the school gate.
Looking at the heavy rain, she had originally planned to wait until it subsided before going, but Shen Shiyan impatiently said that they had already dropped her off at the school gate.
So she had no choice but to agree.
She went to the school gate alone, holding an umbrella.
It was pouring rain that day; even with an umbrella, your clothes would still get soaked.
When she delivered the food to Shen Shiyan's house, her clothes were soaked through.
But Chen Shiyan didn't show any concern for him, only complaining that the takeout had gotten wet for him.
They even complained that she was walking too slowly, saying that the food was already cold.
Later, she went back to her dormitory alone, changed her clothes, and then took a nap.
It was because she got caught in the rain that she developed a fever that afternoon.
She didn't know if Shen Shiyan knew about her fever, but she took three days off that time and Shen Shiyan didn't send her a single message.
Her roommate even brought her meals.
That man didn't even say a word of concern.
Even if they are friends, they should at least care, right?
He probably knew, he just didn't want to care about her.
Looking back now, she realizes how foolish she was.
Why did I fall in love with that man?
What's so good about it that made her like it for six years? She still doesn't understand.
Perhaps I was truly bewitched for a moment?
Jiang Susu left the room, no longer looking at the rain outside, for looking at it for too long would only remind her of things from the past.
As she was getting ready for bed that night, she received another call from Shang Yanxing.
"Hello?"
"Has Madam had dinner?" Shang Yanxing asked.
"I ate, I ate properly." This man probably doesn't know and think she won't eat properly because he's gone, does he?
So I specifically called to ask her if she had eaten.
She wouldn't joke around with her health; no matter what, she still had to eat.
"I'm relieved that Madam is eating well. I was just worried that she wouldn't eat properly while I was away, so I was just checking in on her."
Actually, he just wanted to hear the girl's voice. Although he was exhausted after a long day, he felt much more relaxed the moment he heard the girl's voice.
So I thought I'd give her a call.
"Do I look like I haven't eaten yet? I'm a good girl, okay? But you, even though work is important, don't forget to eat just because you're busy with work."
Perhaps because she was a little shy, Jiang Susu spoke softly. But Shang Yanxing heard every word Jiang Susu said.
"Okay, Madam, don't worry, I will definitely eat well. Thank you for your concern."
With this little woman's care, how could he not eat properly?
If he gets sick from hunger, who will take care of his little girl?
"Are you... going to stay in Europe for a few more days?" Jiang Susu asked.
Upon hearing Jiang Susu's words, Shang Yanxing on the other end of the phone couldn't help but smile. "I should be back in three or four days, not even a week. Don't worry, Madam, I'll definitely rush back as soon as I'm done with my work."
Is this little woman missing him?
He's only been gone for two days, and they're already asking him when he's coming back.
"Okay, I...I understand."
The two talked for about half an hour before hanging up.
After finishing that phone call, Jiang Susu felt a sense of peace.
Then she went to sleep.
Jiang Susu may have already fallen in love with Shang Yanxing, but she just didn't know it.
Before she knew it, it was the weekend. Shang Liqian got up early and waited for Jiang Susu to have breakfast.
But by eight o'clock, Jiang Susu still hadn't come down.
Shang Liqian thought that it was probably because Jiang Susu slept in late that she didn't call her to eat breakfast first.
But even at nine o'clock, she still hadn't seen Jiang Susu come downstairs.
Shang Liqian was really worried, so she prepared to go upstairs to check.
She went upstairs to Jiang Susu's room and knocked on the door, but no one answered.
Shang Liqian pushed open the door with a slight panic and found Jiang Susu lying on the bed.
Looking at Jiang Susu's pale face, Shang Liqian sensed that something was wrong.
"Auntie, Auntie, what's wrong?"
Shang Liqian called out several times, but Jiang Susu didn't react at all.
She touched Jiang Susu's forehead, and it was so hot that she quickly withdrew her hand. "Why is it so hot? Does she have a fever?"
Seeing that Jiang Susu was unconscious and unresponsive, Shang Liqian called the family doctor.
The doctor performed a physical examination on Jiang Susu.
Shang Liqian hurriedly asked, "Doctor, how is my aunt?"
"Madam developed a fever because she caught a chill. Fortunately, it was discovered in time, otherwise her life might have been in danger."
She didn't discover it until after nine o'clock, and she doesn't know how long it had been burning.
If it had been discovered any later, who knows what the consequences would have been.
Shang Liqian looked at Jiang Susu, feeling extremely guilty. "I'm sorry, I didn't take good care of you."
If Shang Yanxing found out about this, he would probably blame her, right?
"Miss, don't worry, Madam is fine. She'll be alright once the fever goes down," the doctor reassured her.
