Married to My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin-Chapter 314: Soft-hearted Towards Him (2)_1

Assistant Gao stood aside anxiously and said, "The housekeeper asked me to come in and watch over you, afraid you might faint."

Qi Cheng opened his eyes upon hearing the voice. He looked at Assistant Gao with a cold stare. "Did you let Xie Xingwei in?"

"Ms. Xie was very worried about you, so..."

"Get out." Qi Cheng didn’t want to hear any explanations. It was clear that today’s mess was due to Assistant Gao’s negligence.

He had been soaking in the bathtub for a long time. Even though he was shivering from the cold, he did not get up.

In the morning, when Ji Yunhuan woke up, she saw Assistant Gao in the house, seemingly having waited for a long time.

Still in her pajamas and slippers, she slowly walked down from upstairs. "Why is Assistant Gao here?"

Assistant Gao, who had come over early in the morning, said, "Ms. Ji, please go and check on Mr. Qi."

Ji Yunhuan coldly replied, "Didn’t I say that there are many people looking after him? I won’t add to the crowd."

He already had Xie Xingwei by his side. What more did he want?

"Ms. Ji!" Assistant Gao was very urgent.

Ji Yunhuan glanced at him, noticing his tightly furrowed brows. He was nothing like his usual calm and composed self. He must be anxious to speak to her in such a tone.

"Is my breakfast ready?" Ji Yunhuan was colder than ever at this moment. She couldn’t imagine what kind of dire situation Qi Cheng was in. Usually, he was always surrounded by people caring for him, so nothing should have happened to him.

Seeing her unmoved, Assistant Gao threatened, "If Ms. Ji doesn’t come with me, then don’t blame me for being impolite."

"What do you intend to do?"

"I will have someone bind and take you there."

"Just you? Do you dare? You pleading with me here isn’t Qi Cheng’s idea, is it?" Without Qi Cheng’s orders, Assistant Gao wouldn’t dare bind her.

"Even if I get fired, I will bring you there." After saying this, Assistant Gao really did invite someone inside.

He knew that Qi Cheng had acted like this last night all because of Ji Yunhuan. Originally, with Qi Cheng’s feverish body, he shouldn’t be soaking in water, but...

Seeing that he was serious, Ji Yunhuan was a bit speechless. "Is it not enough if I just go?"

Damn it!

How sick was Qi Cheng to make the normally loyal Assistant Gao turn into this?

Ji Yunhuan told herself it wasn’t out of concern but merely curiosity that prompted her to go.

The Qi Family mansion was tranquil again, with no trace of Xie Xingwei’s presence.

When Ji Yunhuan entered Qi Cheng’s room, the female housekeeper, who usually didn’t appreciate her presence, was inside. The doctor was also there, reapplying medication to Qi Cheng—stronger than yesterday’s.

As soon as Ji Yunhuan entered, everyone looked at her.

Feeling the weight of the atmosphere, Ji Yunhuan remained silent.

She had been pulled here right after she woke up, still in her pajamas and slippers.

She felt her appearance was somewhat embarrassing.

Yet, she managed to make even simple pajamas look fashionable.

After the doctor and servants left, her gaze fell on Qi Cheng.

It had been a long time since she had been in this room. The last time she visited Yangyang, she hadn’t come in here.

Surprisingly, their wedding photo was still hanging on the wall, a large portrait occupying most of the wall. As she looked at it, she felt a sudden sadness. They were long divorced. Why was he still hanging such meaningless things?

Was he pretending to be deep in love?

Or, did he know she was coming and put it up on purpose? ƒree𝑤ebnσvel-com

She sat down by the bed and glanced at Qi Cheng, who was getting an IV infusion. Assistant Gao hadn’t told her anything on the way here, but from the sweat on Qi Cheng’s forehead and his labored breathing, he seemed to be in considerable discomfort.

Ji Yunhuan reached out to feel Qi Cheng’s forehead, immediately pulling back her hand from the heat.

She knew Qi Cheng was sick, but how could she have expected him to be burning up like this?

During the year they were married, she had never seen him seriously ill.

But now...

Just a fever, and he was in this state?

She quickly went into the bathroom, wrung out a wet towel, and placed it on his head.

She was very angry with Qi Cheng, but remembering two years ago...

Back then, he had fallen ill because of her.

In the military hospital, he had also had a high fever like this. She stayed up with him all night but left him without mercy the next morning when he woke up.

That was the cruelest thing she had ever done in her life!

For the past two years, every time she thought of those days, she had been deeply guilty.

Because back then, Qi Cheng had gotten sick saving her from the water due to her quarrel with him.

Just thinking about it, she felt a pang of guilt.

Although she now considered him an asshole, Ji Yunhuan told herself that she would repay the debt from two years ago.

She hadn’t helped him then, so now she would make up for it.

"Qi Cheng," Ji Yunhuan called his name softly, unsure if she could wake him, but she wanted to try.

Seeing him burning with fever made her feel awful. She hoped he could wake up and say something to her.

"Qi Cheng... Qi Cheng..."

Receiving no response, she called again.

But the Qi Cheng lying in bed remained unmoved.

Ji Yunhuan sat on the bed’s edge and gently wiped the sweat from Qi Cheng’s face, looking at him with a guilt-ridden expression that she couldn’t quite explain.

Though she couldn’t say she was the cause of his illness, seeing him in such a state made her feel deeply remorseful.

It seemed that every time they met, she would always leave him a mess.

Ji Yunhuan gently wiped his face, speaking tenderly to him, "If you can hear me, wake up and say something to me. I know you can hear. Are you blaming me for being late? I didn’t know you were this sick! If I had known, no matter how much I hated you, I would have come sooner."

She didn’t understand why, but she feared he would be damaged by the fever or become permanently unconscious. Her heart was racing with anxiety. She wished she could pry his eyes open to make him look at her.

Just one look would be enough to put her at ease!

But he was so cold and stubborn, ignoring her no matter what she said.

Ji Yunhuan looked at him and couldn’t help but lower her head, kissing him.

His lips were dry. It seemed he hadn’t only been feverish for one night. If this continued, he would soon be brainless.

She kissed his dry lips, gently licking them with her tongue, hoping to make them a little more moist.

She hadn’t eaten breakfast, having only brushed her teeth before coming. Her mouth still had a minty taste.

She had only kissed him for a moment when the man beneath her opened his eyes.

He looked at her with a somewhat hazy gaze. Ji Yunhuan paused, feeling her eyes sting with impending tears. She wanted to pull back, but his large hand clasped her head, bringing her lips back to his.
