627 Shall we get married tomorrow?

Lin Jiao’s head fell off the table and she sat straight. “Ayee, my neck!” Lin Jiao caressed her neck when she heard Mingquan’s voice.

“Finally, you are awake. How much did you drink?” Mingquan asked as he came in front of her from behind a bookshelf.

“How does His Highness know that I drank?” Lin Jiao asked.

“The strange alcoholic scent is coming from you. Didn’t I tell you not to drink in the daytime?” Mingquan’s menacing expression intimidated her.

“Ahh, Ye Xin and I were sad. That’s why we drank together. We didn’t even finish one jar,” Lin Jiao stated.

“Too much alcohol and wine are not good for your health. Your internal body parts may get affected,” Mingquan opined and he sat on the edge of the desk, in front of her.

“We drank after many days,” Lin Jiao said and pouted her lips.

“Lin Jiao, I don’t want my wife to undergo health issues,” Mingquan said, “after consuming wine frequently. Did you not notice how early people die who consume too much wine? A limited quantity is understandable,” He made her understand with a calm tone.

“I will keep this in mind,” Lin Jiao said when saw Mingquan’s hand which he forwarded to her. ƒ𝑟𝐞ewe𝚋𝑛o𝙫𝚎l. 𝒄o𝗺

“Promise me.” He showed his little finger to her. Lin Jiao felt embarrassed and was slightly hesitant too.

“Are you not interested in marrying me?” Mingquan asked when Lin Jiao didn’t go for a pinky promise.

Lin Jiao remained silent and it annoyed him. “You may leave,” Mingquan said.

Lin Jiao realized she had infuriated him. She didn’t apologize to him either and stood up. She turned to walk out when she heard Mingquan say, “Don’t come to see me until you realize your fault. I won’t come to you either. I do not know why you took me so lightly. When I am devoted to the woman I like, I expect the same from her.”

Lin Jiao tilted her head over her shoulder to gaze at him. She opened her mouth to speak.

“Don’t either talk to me and leave,” Mingquan said. Lin Jiao felt upset and strode out of the office.

Mingquan sighed, but he didn’t regret saying those words to her. It was necessary for Lin Jiao to understand how badly she was ruining her life.

“Will she really come back to me? Why doesn’t she like me? I am not a bad person or maybe in her eyes my personality isn’t attractive,” Mingquan murmured.

Ye Xin entered the room with Huang Xi, where Xiwan was resting.

“Master slept a few minutes ago,” the servant replied in a low voice.

Huang Xi gazed at Ye Xin, wondering what she would say.

“Can I stay by his side? Also, what did the Physician say?” Ye Xin asked.

“Miss Ye Xin can stay by his side. Xiwan will only like it when he sees you,” Huang Xi asserted and looked at the servant, waiting for him to give the second question’s answer.

“For now, the physician has asked the master to take rest. I have given him the medicine,” the servant replied.

“Did he have dinner last night?” Ye Xin asked worriedly.

“Master did take soup last night and in the morning,” the servant said. Ye Xin nodded at him. Huang Xi took the servant out with him and closed the doors behind them.

Ye Xin stepped forward and sat down on the mattress next to Xiwan. She looked at the water vessel and the cotton cloth beside it. Checking his body temperature, she realized that his fever still had not reduced. She gave him cold water strips for almost an hour before stopping.

The water had turned hot and she put the cotton cloth on the bedside table. Ye Xin was a little tired and hungry too. She looked at Xiwan’s hands and grabbed one of them.

“His hand is so rough,” Ye Xin murmured and gently caressed it. Xiwan had only a few people around him, but hardly anyone was there to properly take care of him. Ye Xin realized why he wanted to marry as soon as possible because he didn’t want that aloof life anymore.

“I can marry you tomorrow if you want to. I will take good care of yours and will never leave you alone,” Ye Xin murmured while keeping her gaze low. She heard the door open and tilted her head to look. The servant had come to replace the water vessel with another one.

“Master still hasn’t woken up,” the servant said and looked at Ye Xin.

“Yes. Did the physician tell at what time Xiwan will wake up from sleep?” Ye Xin asked him.

“Pardon me, Miss Ye, but I didn’t ask about it,” the servant said and left the room. Ye Xin again shifted her gaze at Xiwan. She found the beads of sweat on the temples of his forehead. Ye Xin used her handkerchief to wipe that sweat and saw the movement in his eyes.

She withdrew her hand from his temple and sat straight. “Xiwan,” Ye Xin softly pronounced his name.

Xiwan’s brows furrowed before he gradually opened his eyes. He was a little bewildered to see Ye Xin in front of her. He closed his eyes for a second, thinking he was hallucinating, before opening them.

“Xiwan, are you alright? How are you feeling?” Ye Xin asked him.

“How did you come here?” Xiwan asked her while trying to sit. She grasped his arm and helped him sit on the bed.

“Commander Huang Xi brought me here. You are so sick. Why didn’t you tell me about it?” The worriedness in her eyes made Xiwan’s heart flutter.

“How could I tell you? Forgive me for not fulfilling my promise to you,” Xiwan said.

Ye Xin hugged him and placed her hand on his back. He was startled by her sudden action. “Xiwan, you should have sent someone to call me here. I was restless the entire night when you didn’t come to see me. Shall we get married tomorrow? Then, I didn’t have to worry about you so much,” Ye Xin said and waited for his response.
