"Okay, I know. I'll feel better after taking the medicine and taking a nap."
Despite feeling dizzy, Yan Xiluo swallowed the medicine, suppressing the nausea in her stomach.
"Then you should go to sleep. You won't feel uncomfortable if you fall asleep. I'll stay here with you. I'll go about my business while you're asleep."
Lan Jingyan lay down beside her, quietly watching over her.
"Uh-huh."
Yan Xiluo closed her eyes. Fortunately, some of the herbs inside had a calming and sleep-inducing effect, and she soon fell asleep.
Seeing that Yan Xiluo was sweating profusely, Lan Jingyan had no choice but to stay by her side and wipe her sweat.
"President Lan, I've drafted the contract for hiring Teacher Nanxing. When will filming resume?"
Director Liu had handled the matter fairly well and quickly contacted Lan Jingyan.
"Let's stop for two days as originally planned. You go home and take care of your business first, and we'll officially start work when you come back."
He didn't want Yan Xiluo to be able to recover and then go to work the next day.
Taking a couple more days off is fine; with Chen Nanxing joining, the progress will only be faster.
"Okay, received."
Director Liu quickly edited the reshoot notice in the group chat and then posted it.

Lan Jingyan had originally planned to take Yan Xiluo to watch the sunset, but unfortunately she was unwell, and the little surprise he had prepared for her could not be carried out.
He instructed the kitchen to prepare some cooling foods for Yan Xiluo, so that she wouldn't be hungry when she woke up.
Seeing that Yan Xiluo was sleeping soundly, he quickly went to the study to video chat with Lan Jingchen.
"Brother, look at how you've almost exploited me! Is there no justice left?"
Lan Jingchen couldn't help but complain. He felt resentful that he had to handle all the big and small matters in the company by himself!
He has no freedom! He has no time for entertainment, and even his sleep time has been reduced.
"Tch, don't give me that. What you're going through now is what I was going through a few years ago. It's not like it's just my company, of course you have to manage it too!"
Lan Jingyan didn't care! His top priority right now was to spend time with Yan Xiluo, and of course, he also wanted to earn enough to support her.
"Don't think I don't know you're exploiting me just to keep your sister-in-law company! I'm going to tell on you next time I see her!"
Despite saying that, he had never even met Yan Xiluo in person, and Lan Jingyan absolutely refused to let him.
"Let's talk about it when you see her! Besides, your sister-in-law only believes what I say."
Lan Jingyan was incredibly arrogant; he was afraid Lan Jingchen would come and cause trouble. So, he deliberately brought Yan Xiluo home to give Deng Ling acupuncture when Lan Jingchen wasn't home.
"I'll see it someday! Bro, don't get too cocky!"
Lan Jingchen pretended not to care, but in reality he really wanted to see Yan Xiluo. He had seen photos of Yan Xiluo in the group chat, which showed her to be as beautiful as an angel, and he had also heard about her amazing skills from the elders.
This made him even more eager to meet his mysterious future sister-in-law in person.
"Tch~ Alright, let's get back to the point. Let's go discuss that project quickly. Your sister-in-law isn't feeling well, and I'm worried she won't be able to find me when she wakes up."
Lan Jingyan glanced at the time; he didn't want to waste any more time chatting.
"Alright, alright! Ever since my brother got a sister-in-law, he's no longer my brother! Let's begin!"
Lan Jingchen couldn't help but make a face.
Although they are brothers, their personalities are completely different. Lan Jingyan is cold by nature and only shows warmth to his family and friends.
Lan Jingchen has a lively and cheerful personality, and is passionate.
The two brothers then began discussing the project, and Lan Jingyan quickly convened an online video conference with the company's senior management.

Before she knew it, a lot of time had passed. Yan Xiluo slowly sat up, rubbing her eyes with her eyes half-open.
After taking the specially prepared medicine, she felt much better, like she had been reborn after her fever subsided. However, she felt sticky from sweating, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.
Seeing a bowl of mung bean soup on the bedside table, she picked it up and drank half of it. Then she grabbed her clothes and went to the bathroom, hoping a quick shower would make her feel better.
She no longer feels dizzy or nauseous, but she still feels tired and weak.
After showering, Yan Xiluo put a hair drying cap on her clean hair. She really didn't want to blow-dry her hair; holding a hairdryer for a long time would make her feel tired.
When they arrived at Lan Jingyan's bedroom and found him not there, they wandered around some more and heard Lan Jingyan's voice coming from the study.
Yan Xiluo stood outside the door without going in. Judging from her expression, she knew that Lan Jingyan was in a video conference and didn't want to disturb him.
"Okay, that's about it for the meeting. If you have any questions, please ask Xiao Lan. That concludes the meeting for now."
As soon as she finished speaking, Lan Jingyan quickly turned off the computer.
The moment he saw Yan Xiluo appear in his sight, he had completely lost interest in the meeting.
He was worried about Yan Xiluo's health.
"You woke up so quickly? Why didn't you text me? You came all the way here yourself? Did you take a shower and wash your hair? Your hair isn't dry yet, what if you catch a cold?"
Lan Jingyan was already getting anxious before he even reached Yan Xiluo. He walked and looked Yan Xiluo up and down, asking a series of rhetorical questions.
Lan Jingyan gently placed his hands on Yan Xiluo's shoulders and finally pulled her into his arms.
"I'm fine now, don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I'm just still a little weak, so I didn't blow-dry my hair."
Yan Xiluo's cheek rested gently against Lan Jingyan's shoulder as she spoke in a muffled voice, subconsciously tightening her grip on Lan Jingyan's arm.
"Then I'll blow on it for you, so you don't catch a cold."
Lan Jingyan released her and gently took her hand.
"good."
Yan Xiluo nodded obediently.
In the mirror, Lan Jingyan stood behind Yan Xiluo, holding a hairdryer and adjusting the temperature, gently drying her hair, his fingertips lightly stroking her strands.
First, I dried her scalp, and then I blew her hair down from top to bottom, gently shaking her hair.
Finally, turn off the hairdryer and gently comb her hair with a cushion comb.
"The technique was quite professional! I'm very satisfied with the service this time!"
Yan Xiluo turned to face him, her slender hands gently resting on Lan Jingyan's waist, her smile sweet.
"I'm glad you're satisfied. Are you hungry? I've asked the chef to prepare some food for you. Oh, and I also left a bowl of mung bean soup on the bedside table."
The two of them clung to each other, like crabs, as they left the sink.
"I drank half of the mung bean soup. I just felt sweaty and sticky, so I took a shower first. I was really hungry."
Yan Xiluo's voice sounded somewhat soft and weak, and she seemed a little tired.
"Then I'll have the housekeeper bring the food up, and we'll eat on the second floor. They've already had dinner, and I'll wait for you to eat together."
Lan Jingyan led Yan Xiluo to the sofa in the second-floor hall and let her sit down and rest.
