During dinner, Lu An sat by the bed and fed Jin Nian. However, the food was too bland, and she only managed to eat a little. Jin Nian frowned and expressed her desire for some spicy hotpot.

Seeing that Jin Nian wasn’t interested in her meal, Lu An didn’t push her. If she wanted a spicy hotpot, then she could eat it.

Lu An instructed his chef to prepare a portion of mild spicy hotpot and had it delivered.

Possibly due to her recent recovery from a serious illness, Jin Nian took a few bites of the spicy hotpot but soon lost her appet.i.te.

Observing this, Lu An cleared away the spicy hotpot without complaint. If she didn’t want to eat it, that was perfectly fine. Lu An didn’t show any dissatisfaction and brought Jin Nian some tea.

Watching Lu An’s attentive actions, Jin Nian began to feel a sense of guilt.

Leaning against the window, she voiced her concerns, “1 feel like you must be getting tired of me.”

“What’s bothering me?”

“Don’t you think I’m being overly involved?”

“What’s this all about?” Lu An smiled slightly, “These are all things 1 should be doing, and besides…”

Lu An coughed softly, “The root of this situation lies with me. As your husband, it’s only right for me to handle these matters.”

Jin Nian seemed a bit distant, experiencing for the first time the weight of Lu An’s role as her “husband”.

Back when they got their marriage certificate, she had acted on impulse, and their interactions were often a bit hazy.

Now, slowly but surely, she was beginning to feel a sense of home.

With the tasks completed, darkness had fallen, and it was time for her to take her medicine again.

Lu An readied the medicine and warm water, placing them within reach on the bedside table.

“Lu An,” Jin Nian called out to him.

“What’s the matter?”

“I just wanted to call you over.”

Raising an eyebrow, Lu An walked over and sat beside Jin Nian. He reached out, his hand brushing her forehead, “Your fever is gone?”

“Could it be that the fever messed with your head?” Lu An muttered.

“No, it hasn’t.”

“How do you feel now? Is your body still in pain?”

Shaking her head, Jin Nian replied, “No more pain, but…”

She hesitated, her face visibly flushing.

Lu An appeared puzzled.

After a brief moment of contemplation, Jin Nian decided that since they had already shared the most intimate of experiences, there was nothing left to hide. Leaning in closer to Lu An, she whispered.

Lu An leaned in, catching Jin Nian’s blush as she confessed the source of her discomfort.

Understanding her implication, Lu An moved his hand lower, but Jin Nian caught his hand.

“Let me take a look.”

“I don’t want to.”

In the end, Jin Nian still couldn’t stop it, and Lu An saw through it.

After their first time last night, today didn’t seem as taboo anymore. After all, what hadn’t he seen?

Thinking back to last night, Jin Nian blushed again. Although she said she hated Lu An, from the bottom of her heart, her first time was not as bad as she said.

Due to her illness and pent-up frustration, she had said those angry words.

The issue there wasn’t too severe, just a minor external abrasion.

Lu An called his private doctor and asked him. He said that as long as he kept himself clean and didn’t get infected, he would recover slowly without any treatment.

Of course, Jin Nian overheard their conversation and made it clear that she never wanted to see that doctor again.

However, the doctor left a parting note. Tonight was still critical. There might be a recurrence of fever, indicating that the inflammation hadn’t fully subsided. If not, she should be mostly fine.

With this information in mind, Lu An anxiously stayed by Jin Nian’s side, occasionally checking for signs of fever until the next morning.

Fortunately, Jin Nian’s fever didn’t return, and she slept peacefully.

Even though the fever was gone, Lu An still insisted that Jin Nian take a day off from work. She needed to focus on her recovery.

But work managed to find its way to her.

Her colleague, He Ming, messaged her, “Jiang Qingchi wants you to attend today’s meeting to discuss the details.”

Jin Nian replied, “I won’t go.”

He Ming inquired, “Boss said you’re sick and took a sick day. Are you okay?”

Jin Nian clarified, “I had a fever, but I’m better now. I’ll be back at work tomorrow.”

He Ming responded, “Alright. Take care of yourself.”

The next day, Jin Nian was back to her usual self, full of vitality.

Perhaps this was the awareness of a worker. When she was recuperating at home, she was especially bored and could not help but want to do something.

Lu An had initially wanted Jin Nian to take a day off, but seeing her enthusiasm, he decided not to stop her. He even accompanied her to the company.

Before she left, Lu An suddenly remembered something, “There’s a delivery coming today. Remember to receive it.”

“What did you buy?”

“You’ll find out when you open it.”

Lu An’s mysterious tone piqued Jin Nian’s curiosity.

After seeing Jin Nian off to the company, Lu An returned to his workplace.

Despite being a leisurely person as a company executive, he had acc.u.mulated some pending tasks at home. Over the past few days, there was a stack of doc.u.ments requiring his signature.

Though he seemed carefree, he was far from it.

Nevertheless, Lu An wasn’t in a rush to handle official matters. With Jin Nian’s health in mind, it was time to create a fitness plan for her..
