After all, she had sneaked out of the old house at night, so of course she had to go back early to avoid making the old man angry.

Originally, Su Nian planned to quietly get out of Li Beichen's arms.

But as soon as he moved, Li Beichen's murmur rang in his ears: "Don't move, stay with me and sleep for a while."

"It's getting late now. I have to go back. If I don't go back soon, Dad will find out."

"He knows." The man made no move to open his eyes.

Su Nian was slightly stunned when she heard this. But she thought about how Li Beichen went to the old house last night and came back in a hurry, which must have made a lot of noise and probably woke up the old man.

When he thought of this, Su Nian felt even more that he should go back.

After all, the old man said that yesterday.

"Then I have to go back quickly, but Beichen, don't make any trouble today and rest well at home, you know? Dad is actually very worried about you. After all, Dad is so old, and it's not good for you to make him worry so much."

Su Nian kept on talking for a long time before he realized something was wrong.

She quickly pushed Li Beichen away, only to see that Li Beichen's face was a little red, and then she put her hand on his forehead.

It would be fine if I didn't put it down, but once I did, I was shocked: "Beichen, why is your forehead so hot? Do you have a fever?"

Then Su Nian called the family doctor back.

The family doctor originally thought that he was just going through the motions and joining in Li Beichen's fun.

But when I took my temperature, it was 39°, I was shocked.

Then everyone got busy.

Su Nian became nervous when she saw that Li Beichen's condition had worsened.

This went on for the entire morning.

Li Beichen's fever had just subsided.

The moment he opened his eyes, what he saw was Su Nian's anxious little face.

"Beichen, you're awake. How are you? Are you feeling unwell? You have a fever, and you've had it for a long time, did you know that?"

"I'm fine, don't worry, but you can't stay here any longer, go back to the old house quickly." After saying this, Li Beichen looked at Zhou Xu next to him and said, "Zhou Xu, send my wife to the old house."

Su Nian didn't expect that this would be the first thing Li Beichen said after waking up.

But given Li Beichen's current situation, how could she leave with peace of mind?

"Beichen, you're like this now, how can I leave? I won't leave."

Li Beichen certainly didn't want Su Nian to be infected by his cold. After all, it was enough for him to feel uncomfortable. There was no need for both of them to feel uncomfortable. "Su Su, listen to me. I'm fine. You should stay at the old house for a few days. I'll pick you up in person after a few days. Don't let me infect you. Besides, you also said that I had a fever for a long time just now. I am very weak now and need a good rest. So you just follow Zhou Xu obediently. When you leave, I can sleep quietly for a while."

Zhou Xu next to him also advised: "Madam, please listen to Mr. Li. If you are with Mr. Li, he will be distracted by you and won't be able to rest properly."

This made Su Nian's face suddenly look ugly.

[What do you mean by that? It's like I'm a burden. I took such good care of him just now.]

[If you don't let me stay here, then I won't stay. You're making me act like a rarity! ]

Su Nian left immediately.

Li Beichen sighed deeply and then held his forehead with his hand.

He seemed to have messed up.

Is this God's retribution for him pretending to be sick?
