"Zhizhi, what brings you here?" Xiao Yuan felt as if his illness had been cured by half immediately.
"Don't change the subject, why aren't you taking your medicine?" Bai Qingzhi retorted.
Xiao Yuan opened his eyes wide in surprise, but before he could say that he didn't have any, the voice of a servant came from the doorway.
"Sir, please take your medicine! You've had a fever for two days now, and it won't go down if you don't take medicine. This medicine is a bit bitter, but good medicine tastes bitter, just bear with it and it will pass!"
The servant's voice was loud, and the two of them could hear it clearly.
Xiao Yuan was even more confused this time. When did he stop taking his medicine?
I just felt the newly served medicine was a bit hot and wanted it to cool down.
But Bai Qingzhi heard these words and they took on a completely different meaning. She looked at Xiao Yuan in surprise, not expecting him to be afraid of bitterness.
She went out and took the medicine from the maid, then pulled open the curtains that were blocking out the light, and sunlight streamed in instantly.
She had just taken a step forward when she saw Xiao Yuan suddenly take a step back.
"Don't come any closer!"
"I'm still sick, Zhizhi, you should go back first, it wouldn't be good if you caught it."
Looking at this man who was so considerate of her even when he was sick, Bai Qingzhi's anger vanished instantly.
Ignoring his attempts to stop her, Bai Qingzhi stepped closer and, to Xiao Yuan's astonishment, kissed him on the lips.
“Let’s go together.” Bai Qingzhi stepped back a little, her eyes smiling as she spoke.
Although Xiao Yuan really wanted to hold her in his arms, he held back for fear of infecting her.
"Drink your medicine, and I'll make you some pastries by hand. I just learned how to make them!" Bai Qingzhi coaxed her like a child.
Xiao Yuan smiled helplessly, obediently took the medicine bowl from Bai Qingzhi's hand, and drank it down without even frowning.
After putting it down, he looked into Zhizhi's eyes, his eyes flashed, and then suddenly changed to a pained expression.
"Too bitter?" Bai Qingzhi came up with two pieces of candy, she had prepared them in advance.
Bai Qingzhi stuffed the candy into Xiao Yuan's mouth and asked with wide eyes how it was.
"It's still bitter. Zhizhi, give me a kiss, and it won't be bitter anymore." Xiao Yuan changed out of his usual suit, looking less sharp.
In addition, his face was flushed, making him look rather pitiful.
Bai Qingzhi didn't hesitate and went straight up to kiss him.
"It's still bitter." Xiao Yuan moved closer.
Bai Qingzhi kissed him again.
He wanted to continue, but seeing the growing suspicion in Bai Qingzhi's eyes, he ultimately gave up.
That's enough for now, let's continue next time.
"Why didn't you tell me you were sick?" Bai Qingzhi asked, tilting her head.
If she had known, she wouldn't have kept him talking until so late.
Perhaps she had already come over to watch him take his medicine herself.
Xiao Yuan's nose was a little stuffy, and his voice sounded muffled.
"Do you think I'm afraid you'll worry? Besides, what if I infect you?"
Bai Qingzhi rolled her eyes. Just as she was about to take him out to bask in the sun, she heard voices coming from downstairs.
The door wasn't closed properly when the maid left, and the two of them heard some faint voices.
It doesn't sound like someone from the Xiao family.
Not just anyone can enter the Xiao family. Most people need to inform the family in advance before visiting, but Xiao Yuan did not receive any such notice.
I stood up and looked downstairs, and my eyes met those of the people below.
It was actually Qi Shang.
It just looks like it was brought by my aunt.
Bai Qingzhi didn't go out; she stayed quietly in the room. After a while, Xiao Yuan came back and told her who the visitor was.
"You go out and take a look. I'll hide here. After all, I'm a dead man." Bai Qingzhi had already folded Xiao Yuan's blanket and turned to answer when she heard his words.
Xiao Yuan simply watched her silently until Bai Qingzhi became somewhat puzzled, at which point he turned and went into the dressing room to change his clothes.
But the scene of Zhizhi folding the quilt just now still lingered in his mind. Xiao Yuan decided that once the matter of the marriage was settled, he must marry Zhizhi as soon as possible.
Bai Qingzhi had no idea what he was thinking. She found a comfortable spot on the sofa in the bedroom, settled in, and then opened her phone to start playing games.
When Xiao Yuan came downstairs, he saw Xiao Qiangwei sitting next to Qi Shang with a radiant smile, and he could tell at a glance that she was in love.
A few black lines appeared on his forehead. He remembered that his aunt had been shouting "Long live being single!" not long ago.
Seeing Xiao Yuan come down, Qi Shang's smile widened.
"I heard that Mr. Xiao was ill, so I came to visit him uninvited. I hope Mr. Xiao doesn't mind."
He now has a business partnership with the Xiao family in City A, so even if Xiao Yuan is impatient, he still has to maintain a friendly facade.
"Mr. Qi, you're too kind. I didn't expect you to come so suddenly. We didn't prepare anything at home." Xiao Yuan leaned back on the sofa, trying to make himself as comfortable as possible.
Unconsciously, Xiao Yuan recalled the child in the room, and the more he looked at Qi Shang, the more upset he became.
A hypocritical businessman is no match for a sweet and innocent girlfriend.
Qi Shang was just being polite, and only after he finished speaking did he realize that Xiao Yuan was lost in thought.
Seemingly feeling a little embarrassed, Qi Shang touched his nose.
Xiao Qiangwei, who was chatting with Xiao's mother, had been observing the two's movements. Upon seeing this scene, she immediately turned around and took over the conversation.
"President Xiao seems to have a fragrance on him." Qi Shang suddenly moved closer.
Xiao Yuan was startled.
He suddenly stepped back, his brows furrowed deeply.
Is there something wrong with this Qi merchant?
Isn't that perverted?
