Chapter 16.2

Jin Lie stood at the door and looked up at the corridor on the second floor, and wondered if he had unknowingly angered her.

Did she seem to care a lot about what happened yesterday? Did he really go too far?

“……”

He scratched his eyebrows, remained silent for a moment, and walked into the kitchen, “Go pick some flowers from the yard and put them in the room later.”

Mrs. Wang put down the bowl and responded, “Alright sir, should I put them in the lady’s room?”

“The study, if there are extras, give her some. Ahem, also… there’s Wagyu beef in the refrigerator, cook it for lunch.” Jin Lie licked his lips uncomfortably, “If we don’t eat it, it will go bad.”

Mrs. Wang saw his intention, held back her laughter, and showed an understanding expression, “Don’t worry sir, I know what to do.”

“Um, that’s good.”

Jin Lie cleared his throat, stiffly raised his hand to check the time, and then turned and walked out.

_

The company has been extremely busy these past few days, and Jin Lie didn’t go home on time that night. The atmosphere in the meeting room was oppressive, and the lengthy meeting had already lasted for more than two hours.

Several shareholders had several rounds of repeated arguments due to disagreements. The tense atmosphere seemed as if they would start arguing at any disagreement.

Jin Lie rubbed his tired brow, and gradually losing patience. He picked up his phone and sent a message to Mrs. Wang.

Jin Lie: 【Did the beef eaten?】

Mrs. Wang: 【It’s eaten, sir.】

Jin Lie paused and didn’t reply again.

Mrs. Wang, with her good intuition, sent over a photo. It was a candid shot of Su Qian eating. She was holding a wine glass, her cheeks puffed up like a little hamster, looking at the camera with a brilliant smile, cute and a bit naive.

Kind of cute.

Jin Lie looked at it with a smile for a while, then realized what he was doing, stiffened slightly, and instantly put away his smile.

On the other side, the shareholders were still talking eloquently. Jin Lie opened Su Qian’s WeChat and typed a few words: 【I’ll be back very late today, no need to leave the door for me.】

As the message was sent out, his heart inexplicably wobbled.

The speaker changed to another person. The contest between the conservatives and the innovators came every now and then.

Jin Lie listened with waning interest, and his gaze occasionally darted to his phone.

It’s been two minutes already, did she go to sleep so early?

He pursed his lips, impatiently wanting to interrupt the shareholder’s speech, when his phone suddenly vibrated twice.

Jin Lie picked up the phone in one swoop. He opened it to see Su Qian’s hastily and perfunctory reply: 【.】

“…”

Wasn’t she very happy? What does a single dot mean?!

Jin Lie threw his phone away expressionlessly, feeling as if his temples were hurting more.

.

Su Qian spent the afternoon reading a script, and when she got tired, she switched to reading a novel by Bai Shuangshuang. She originally planned to change her mind, but it got out of hand.

The reason why people like to read such unrealistic things is because they can bring a sense of refreshment and satisfaction. For example, in the book, when the male lead provokes the female lead, the female lead can use all means to torture him, and the scene formed in the mind directly explodes the cool points.

But in reality, like her and Jin Lie, under his tyranny, she can only pretend to comply.

Thinking about it makes her angry! That dog man doesn’t understand anything, he just knows how to annoy people!

After Su Qian finished reading the whole book, she bought the whole book in the spirit of not taking advantage of others, and then sent the purchase record to Bai Shuangshuang: 【Great author, I’m asking for a ship.】

Bai Shuangshuang was very surprised: 【You finished reading so quickly? 】

Su Qian: 【Your writing is irresistible! I know there are highlights, can you send them to me? 】

After waiting for about a minute or two, Bai Shuangshuang sent two screenshots: 【Only for you to see. 】

Su Qian was overjoyed: 【Rest assured, I will not spread it. 】

These two pictures will soon fill her entire midnight scene.

It has to be said that Bai Shuangshuang’s writing is really spicy, the ship is not greasy or fat, not only makes people’s hearts flutter, but also has a sense of ultimate beauty.

After reading it, Su Qian felt her adrenaline surge. Her body seemed to heat up with it. In order to stay awake, she wisely put down the novel and started reading the script again.

She has to ensure that she performs her best at tomorrow’s audition.

But after not reading for long, Su Qian felt her body getting hotter and hotter, and she couldn’t tell if it was her stomach or her belly that was hurting.

The aftereffect of the ship chapter wouldn’t be so strong, would it?

She endured it in bed for a while without any improvement, and out of helplessness, Su Qian struggled to get up and go to the bathroom.

Ten minutes later, when she came out, she was almost exhausted. She leaned on the head of the bed to rest for a while, and her stomach started to hurt again.

After such repeated torment three or four times, Su Qian couldn’t bear it. If she continued like this, she would be close to dehydration.

It was already ten o’clock in the evening, and Mrs. Wang had gone home early. Su Qian put on her coat, holding her stomach, and staggered to open the door and go downstairs.

There was no need to leave the door open today, and the living room was pitch black. Beads of sweat rolled down from her forehead, and Su Qian moved down step by step, holding onto the railing.

She must have eaten something bad.

Finally, when she reached the first floor, she stood blankly in the middle of the living room. In the thick darkness of the night, her face was as white as a ghost.

Where did she put the medicine box?

She rubbed her forehead and thought for a long time. She had never used it before, so she had no impression at all.

After pulling too many times and standing for too long, her legs began to sway. Su Qian gathered her hair and prepared to go to the storage room to look.

Just then, the door was suddenly opened, and the sound of footsteps came closer. Jin Lie’s tall figure became clearer and clearer.

“What are you doing?” He stood at the door, with his suit jacket casually draped over his arm.

Su Qian opened her mouth, her voice hoarse as she said: “I… I feel so uncomfortable.”

Only then did Jin Lie notice that her face was frighteningly pale, her eyes filled with a layer of mist, and she looked like she was about to collapse.

He casually threw off his coat, strode over, and gently placed his palm on her forehead, “You have a fever.”

“I know. I was just about to find some medicine to take when you came back.”

She didn’t know if it was an illusion, but Su Qian saw genuine worry in his eyes. No matter how annoying this person was usually, having someone with her at this time felt much better than being alone.

Plus, he had just entered the door, and his weary aura inexplicably made Su Qian’s eyes heat up.

“You look like my dad right now.”

She missed her family.

“……”

Jin Lie sneered, “If you want, you can call me that.”

Looking at his devilish face, Su Qian really couldn’t say it. She always felt something was strange.

Just as she was in a daze, Jin Lie picked her up in his arms. Su Qian was startled and reflexively grabbed his collar, “What are you doing?”

“Going to give you an injection.”

“……”

Just after mentioning “dad” and now talking about “injections”, the topic seems to be getting weirder and weirder.
