After some time, she came back to her senses when she felt her arm getting a little numb. He seemed slightly better when she heard the sound of the doorbell chiming downstairs.

It should be Dr. Zhong.

Xi Xiaye stood up and spent some time trying to pry her hand out of his grip. She placed her hand on his forehead again. It was still pretty hot, so she sighed worriedly.

When she went downstairs, Ah Mo came over with Dr. Zhong.

“Missus! How’s Master?” Ah Mo asked anxiously, his eyebrows knitted together.

Xi Xiaye moved aside and let the two of them in. “I just gave him some medicine for the fever, but it hasn’t gone down. Let’s go up first.”

“Master stayed in the breeze for quite some time during the inspection today. I think he caught a cold. Dr. Zhong, please take a look at him quickly.” Ah Mo followed Xi Xiaye to the second floor.

Xi Xiaye suddenly stopped at the entrance of the study room and turned around to tell them, “He wasn’t able to rest well in the past few nights. He’s just fallen asleep. Be careful.”

Dr. Zhong nodded and walked more quietly after that. Ah Mo’s expression seemed complicated as he looked at Xi Xiaye as if he wanted to say something. However, he was not able to say it. They then went in.

The man suddenly woke up as Dr. Zhong went near him. A dim light appeared in his eyes when he saw the other person before him. “Why are you guys here?”

“Master! How are you feeling?”

“Master, are you okay?”

Ah Mo and Dr. Zhong spoke at the same time, both concerned.

Mu Yuchen put a hand on his forehead as he glanced over at the quiet Xi Xiaye. “I’m fine. It’s just a little cold and fever. She’s just overreacting.”

“Your body temperature is very high now. A fever is no small matter. It’s your own body. You’re the one who’ll suffer.” Xi Xiaye did not want to argue with him any further. She dragged the stool in between them away and held his arm. “Let’s go back to the bedroom. Dr. Zhong, please check his condition there.”

Mu Yuchen looked at her deeply in the eyes. Her expression was saying that there was no room for negotiation. A faint smile appeared on his pale, handsome face. He did not say anything and just let her drag him along with all her might.

Ah Mo wanted to help, but Mu Yuchen stopped him.

She grabbed a clean sleeping robe and made him change into it after they got into the bedroom. She wiped his face clean before Dr. Zhong gave him a checkup and gave him a flu shot.

Xi Xiaye went downstairs and made some porridge. It was already 1 a.m. when Dr. Zhong was done.

“Go back and rest earlier. He’ll be fine with me here. Remember not to tell Grandfather and Grandmother. I don’t want them to be worried,” Xi Xiaye told Ah Mo as she sent them off.

“Mmm, I got it. Please take care of Master then. Dr. Zhong gave Master a shot, so his fever is slowly going away. It’ll be fine. Don’t worry, Missus.”

Xi Xiaye nodded, then she added, “He doesn’t seem very well these few days. I’m not sure what to do…”

Stunned, Ah Mo looked downwards as he quieted down. After a moment, he said quietly, “Missus, please spend more time with Master these few days. His mood isn’t usually very good during this time of the year, and Qingming is also coming…”

Ah Mo did not continue. He raised his head and looked upstairs with a depressed expression and his eyes were cloudy as well.

Xi Xiaye could see the pain and struggle in his eyes. She could not imagine that the usually cool and calm Ah Mo would have such a side to him.

She kind of knew what was happening. Xi Xiaye did not press on the issue and just nodded. “Mmm, I will.”

Ah Mo took a deep breath before turning around as he left the villa.

When she went back to the room with a bowl of porridge, she noticed that he was not in bed. Instead, he was just sitting in the living room after a shower, on a call with someone. He gave some brief instructions before hanging up.

“Why aren’t you lying down?”

She handed the bowl of porridge to him and took the phone away from him. “Eat something. Has your fever subsided? Let me take a look…”

“Almost. Sit down. You’ve been busy the whole night.” He grabbed her hand on his forehead and made her sit. He also put the bowl of porridge on the table beside him.

“I’m alright. Ah Mo is pretty worried about you.”

He sat down beside her and she was relieved when she could feel that his temperature was not as high as it was earlier. She poured a gla.s.s of water and was going to give it to him, but he did not want it, so she drank it herself.

“Aren’t you worried?”

He laughed at her. While his tone still sounded weak, there was a tint of gentleness in his voice.

Xi Xiaye raised her eyebrows and stared at him without saying anything. She then looked at the bowl of porridge before averting her gaze back to him again.

“Don’t go to work tomorrow. I’ve asked Ah Mo not to tell your grandparents about you. I don’t want them to worry,” she sighed before starting to clean up the messy desk.

His eyes darkened slightly as he looked at her cleaning up. After a while, he said quietly, “Mother called me today regarding that matter. If…”

She took a pause before raising her head and looking into his deep, dark eyes. “Just let it be. I just wanted to prove my own innocence. It’s fine now. If things go on peacefully from now onwards, it’s going to be alright.”

He looked downward and went quiet for a moment before nodding. “Sure. By the way, I heard someone gave you some flowers this afternoon. Who was it?”

His sudden question caught Xi Xiaye off guard. A cloud of doubt went past her eyes.

How did he find out?

After a brief moment of silence, she admitted honestly, “It’s Han Yifeng… He apologized to me…”

His hands clenched into fists and his eyes turned complicated. He was not able to say anything.

She looked at him when she noticed the atmosphere turning odd. He did not look very well and she suddenly put her hand on top of his.

“Things are long over between me and him, so…”
