Half an hour later, the private doctor appeared at the Luo family's house.
Luo Shimiao led the doctor upstairs: "Dr. Xu, please come in."
The doctor stayed in the room for twenty minutes before leaving.
In the room, there was a solid wood coat rack next to the bed with a bottle of medicine hanging on it, and two more bottles on the table.
Originally, the doctor would wait until the IV drip was finished before leaving, as Luo Jianxing knew how to change the dressing and remove the needle, so he was told to go back first.
......
Gu Nian carried two bowls of porridge upstairs: "They're fresh out of the pot, still a little hot." He put down the porridge, turned around, and left, not wanting to be a third wheel.
"Bro, thanks," Luo Jianxing helped Li Man up, picked up one of the bowls, took a spoonful, blew on it, and brought it to her lips: "Ah, open your mouth."
Li Man stared straight at him, opened her mouth and ate the porridge: "The porridge fed to me by a handsome guy is so delicious."
"Trying to flirt with me again? Drink your porridge first."
"OK."
After finishing a bowl of porridge, Li Man's clothes were already mostly soaked. Luo Jianxing, holding a towel soaked in hot water, smiled and said, "It's only fair to return the favor. You helped me wipe myself last time, so tonight it's my turn to help you."
Li Man rested her chin on her left hand, lazily lifting her eyelids to look at him, a faint smile playing on her lips: "Then you'd better wipe it carefully."
This languid allure made Luo Jianxing's breath catch in his throat, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down, and a fiery glint flashed in his eyes. He lay down beside her, and a damp towel slipped inside her clothes: "Don't worry, I will wipe every inch of your skin carefully."
Luo Shimiao happened to hear this and immediately stopped in his tracks.
She had kicked the door so hard that it couldn't be closed properly and words from inside drifted out from the cracks.
She stuck her head in, grinning mischievously, "Excuse me, are you here to experience what 39.5 feels like? Could you write a report about your experience later?"
Luo Jianxing rubbed his forehead and said, "When are you going to get rid of your bad habit of eavesdropping?"
"I wasn't eavesdropping, you were just talking too loudly."
"........"
"Fix my door later."
"My dear concubine, you must not be sleeping comfortably in this eerie room. Why don't you go back to my room to sleep?"
Luo Jianxing: "Fine, fine, I'll fix it myself. You can get lost now."
"Sigh," she sighed with a smile, turning around and saying as she walked away, "I regret it, my beloved concubine has run away."
......
The next day, in the morning.
Li Man's fever had subsided. After breakfast, she took the necklace and went to the company to handle the remaining matters. Luo Jianxing followed her, worried about her health.
Chen Jiawen received instructions from Old Master Gu to pick up Young Master Gu from the Luo family and take him to the company. He parked his car at the entrance and paced back and forth in front of the gate.
"Boss, what are you doing? You're not replying to messages or answering the phone. There are only 40 minutes left in the meeting."
"Let's make one more call."
“Buzzing…”
On the large bed, the blankets were rolled up and down, accompanied by soft, gentle moans.
The blanket was pulled back, revealing a strong, muscular upper body with a narrow waist and broad shoulders, while the lower half... remained hidden under the blanket.
He picked up the phone with his large hand, saw the caller ID, frowned and then relaxed, looking at the dazed little figure, his starry eyes flickered slightly, and a mischievous smile appeared on his lips: "I'll take this call." He swiped his finger across the screen, turned on the speakerphone, and put it aside.
Luo Shimiao covered her mouth tightly, glared at him, and thought, "What a wicked dog of a man."
Chen Jiawen's voice came through immediately: "Boss, President Gu asked me to pick you up. I'm at the door. There's an important meeting in 40 minutes."
"Where is he?" Gu Nian's face darkened. He had called his mother last night and came over this morning to "catch" him.
"President Gu said he is not feeling well and needs to rest at home, so he will not be going to the company today."
"Okay, I understand. Wait for me a moment." He hung up the phone.
Luo Shimiao released her hand and asked, "Is Uncle Gu alright?"
"He's fine, just using his usual tricks." Gu Nian pulled the blanket back over his head, covering his exposed skin. "Time is of the essence." His words were tinged with deep regret.
........
Chen Jiawen waited for another ten minutes or so before finally seeing that tall and noble figure. His face was cold and aloof, radiating an aura that kept strangers at bay.
He opened the car door and breathed a sigh of relief after getting in. From what he knew, the boss was in a bad mood.
The black Maybach gradually drove away.
Inside the room,
Luo Shimiao lay on the bed, the apricot-colored quilt spread over her waist, revealing her fair and flawless back.
"Come here and wrap your back around mine."
Little Green flew down from the coat rack and landed on her back. It raised a paw and gently stroked her snow-white skin: "Didn't he just scratch you? Is it still itchy?"
Luo Shimiao rolled her eyes and rested her chin on her arm: "Let's take you to the hair salon and have them dye your feathers yellow."
"Yellow is good too, it represents warmth, light, and wealth."
It was already afternoon when Luo Shimiao was dragged to a beauty salon by Ye Shujun for a treatment.
She was "tortured" from beginning to end, and walked into the dressing room with the dress that Ye Shujun had prepared.
19:40.
Luo Jingyuan, dressed in a suit and tie, appeared at the entrance of the beauty salon to pick up his two darlings. Seeing the two walking slowly hand in hand, he gentlemanly opened the door and said, "My darling, my sweetheart, please get in the car."
......
The banquet hall was resplendent in gold, with magnificent crystal chandeliers casting a soft glow that made the entire hall appear elegant and tranquil.
While Wang Jiao was chatting with other wealthy women, her eyes caught sight of a man with a face that could captivate countless young girls, a tall and slender figure, and an aloof and proud demeanor.
She exclaimed, "Look who's here!"
Everyone looked over, and a chorus of surprised voices arose.
"What wind blew Mr. Gu here this year?"
"I don't know if you guys have been following entertainment news, but there's a rumor circulating online that he's been getting along really well with a minor celebrity lately. I don't know if it's true."
"I've seen that little star's photos. She's a real beauty. There's a familiar feeling about her eyes and brows. I feel like she looks like someone, but I can't quite place her."
Wang Jiao snorted coldly, her eyes filled with disdain: "She's just an actress. Even if she's somewhat pretty, the Gu family won't acknowledge her. The difference in their social status means their fate is sealed."
As Xu Jia listened to the surrounding conversations, she put down her wine glass and walked over to her: "That's hard to say, there are successful examples."
"Oh, isn't this Xu Jia? I heard the Luo family declined again this year. I thought you weren't coming." Wang Jiao stepped forward and looked up at her with her chin raised.
“You and Ye Shujun are good friends, so you should have met her youngest daughter. You should also have heard the rumors in the industry.”
"As her best friend, shouldn't you help her clarify things? Or is it really true, as rumored, that she has a large dark spot on her face and the mental capacity of a three-year-old child?"
"That's why you don't dare to speak out, for fear that one day she will expose you and you will be proven wrong."
"Pfft." Xu Jia covered her mouth and couldn't help but laugh: "Wang Jiao, after all these years, your hysteria has only gotten worse."
Wang Jiao looked displeased and wanted to go forward to argue with her, but was stopped by her daughter.
