Chapter 28: Fever

Ruan Yu’s cheeks instantly flushed red. She saw a hint of restraint and control in Gu Yan Zhi’s eyes, instantly understanding the meaning behind his words. She pretended to be oblivious, “If you haven’t eaten enough, I’ll go downstairs and buy some food.”

Ruan Yu took off running. After all, this was the office, she was afraid that Gu Yan Zhi would do something inappropriate and be seen by others, which would damage the office’s reputation.

Gu Yan Zhi saw through her little scheme. Ruan Yu, who had just escaped from his arms, was pulled back by him.

Ruan Yu’s pink little hand rested against Gu Yan Zhi’s chest, her eyes clear and bright, she blinked and stared at Gu Yan Zhi’s perfect profile.

She was a sucker for good looks, she couldn’t resist Gu Yan Zhi’s charm. Who knew this man would keep teasing her, all the time.

Ruan Yu swallowed, “This is the office, as the boss, you should set a good example.”

She spoke with conviction, lecturing Gu Yan Zhi.

“The whole company is mine, I can do whatever I want,” Gu Yan Zhi cupped Ruan Yu’s face with his large hand, gently rubbing it, “Besides, you’re the boss’s wife, I’m sure they won’t say anything.”

As he spoke, Gu Yan Zhi covered her cherry-red lips. At first, his movements were gentle and tender, but gradually, his eyes became filled with desire, he lingered on her lips, nibbling and devouring them, as if he wanted to swallow her whole.

Ruan Yu gasped lightly in his arms, her hand pressed against his chest, gently pushing him away. But she eventually succumbed to his kiss, her body limp and weak, she collapsed into his arms, her whole body tingling.

After almost two minutes, the office door opened. Shen Yu stood at the door, looking at the amorous scene in the office, his handsome brow furrowed, he twitched his lips, shook his head, and looked at the people on the sofa in the office.

Hearing the noise at the door, Gu Yan Zhi reluctantly released Ruan Yu. She shyly burrowed into Gu Yan Zhi’s arms, like an ostrich burying its head in his chest, her face flushed red, she didn’t dare to look up.

Gu Yan Zhi frowned in displeasure, his eyes sharp, as if he wanted to cut the person at the door into a thousand pieces.

Shen Yu at the door was startled by Gu Yan Zhi’s sharp gaze, he awkwardly laughed twice, “That… I left my phone here, you guys continue.”

Shen Yu quickly walked in, picked up the phone that was left on the sofa, tucked it into his pocket. Even though he didn’t turn around, he could feel Gu Yan Zhi’s gaze that could almost disembowel him.

He didn’t dare to linger, he quickly walked out. Gu Yan Zhi picked up the pillow on the sofa and threw it at him, hitting Shen Yu’s back, he said coldly, “If you don’t want to die, knock next time.”

Before, this office was just for him, Lu Jingzhou and Shen Yu didn’t knock, but now it was different, his little girl was here.

Shen Yu didn’t dare to turn around, “I’ll be careful next time, you guys continue.” He said, closing the office door and leaving.

After Shen Yu left, Ruan Yu poked her head out of Gu Yan Zhi’s arms, her lips slightly swollen. She glared at him with a touch of coquettishness, “It’s all your fault.”

She raised her chin and snorted arrogantly, she was so embarrassed.

But she saw that Gu Yan Zhi didn’t care, he looked at the girl in his arms with a doting smile, “Yan Zhi Ge Ge will accept the punishment.”

Ruan Yu narrowed her eyes and stared at Gu Yan Zhi’s lips for a few seconds, she curled her lips and covered his lips, biting him hard, then released him.

Gu Yan Zhi’s lips stung, he put his finger on his lips, his eyes darkened as he stared at Ruan Yu for a few seconds, “Little thing, are you trying to set me on fire?”

Ruan Yu felt that things were going to get out of hand, she wanted to break free from Gu Yan Zhi’s hold and get out of his arms, but Gu Yan Zhi pulled her back, holding her tightly in his arms, “One more time, no one will interrupt us.”

Ruan Yu had a black line on her forehead, he was basically asking her to deliver herself to him, she hadn’t drunk much of the soup she made, but she had been taking advantage of him all the time.

She was kissed again until she couldn’t breathe, only then did Gu Yan Zhi reluctantly let her go.

Late at night, at the Gu residence.

In her dream, Ruan Yu dreamed of the bloody and terrifying scene from her previous life again.

She dreamed that Gu Yan Zhi died in that fire, covered in blood. No matter how much she screamed beside him, how much she cried, the man didn’t respond to her.

Fear spread throughout her body, from head to toe. She used all her strength to call out his name. She watched helplessly as Gu Yan Zhi was engulfed by the fire, but she was powerless.

Ruan Yu, in her sleep, grabbed the sheets uneasily, her eyelashes trembled, and a layer of fine sweat beaded on her forehead.

Gu Yan Zhi felt the little girl beside him acting strangely, he turned on the bedside lamp. He looked at the little girl beside him, her brow furrowed, her hands cupped her pale, bloodless face. Seeing her so pained, he originally wanted to wake the girl in her sleep, but he was scalded by her body temperature.

Gu Yan Zhi’s handsome brow furrowed. He took out a thermometer and placed it on Ruan Yu’s forehead to check her temperature. Sure enough, she had a fever.

He quickly dialed a number, his thin lips moved, he didn’t know what he said, then he hung up the phone, went into the bathroom, picked up a towel and started to physically cool down the girl in the bed.

He looked at the girl in the bed, her face pale, his heart ached.

Soon, Ling Qing arrived, looking at Gu Yan Zhi with a sleepy face, “You’re not letting anyone sleep in the middle of the night.” He complained with dissatisfaction.

Gu Yan Zhi frowned, his deep eyes like a cold pool, “See how she is.”

Ling Qing stepped forward and checked her, “Nothing serious, she just caught a cold and has a fever. She’ll be fine after taking some medicine.”

His words made Gu Yan Zhi’s heart, which had been hanging, relax slightly, but he was still very worried. Ling Qing prescribed the medicine, Gu Yan Zhi fed it to Ruan Yu and stayed by her side.

He didn’t even know when Ling Qing left, his heart and eyes were only on this little girl.

The medicine worked quickly. Half an hour later, the girl in the bed’s furrowed brow relaxed, she didn’t look as painful.

Gu Yan Zhi checked her forehead temperature, the coolness from her forehead made him feel relieved. He lay down beside her and fell asleep. Ruan Yu, in her sleep, rubbed against Gu Yan Zhi’s arms.

Gu Yan Zhi didn’t sleep all night, afraid that she would have a fever again. He didn’t fall asleep until dawn.

Sunlight streamed through the curtains and shone on Ruan Yu’s delicate face. She woke up slowly, remembering that she had a fever last night. She could hear Gu Yan Zhi talking to someone. She wanted to open her eyes, but she found her eyelids heavy, she couldn’t open them no matter how hard she tried.

She also remembered Gu Yan Zhi feeding her fever medicine, and then she felt better and fell asleep again.

She lay on her side, looking at Gu Yan Zhi’s perfect sleeping face, she reached out and gently traced his outline, but didn’t touch him.

Ruan Yu’s lips curled into a sweet smile, to have such a person, it was a blessing for three lifetimes.

Suddenly, her wrist was grabbed by a large hand. Gu Yan Zhi opened his eyes, his voice hoarse, filled with concern, “How are you? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere else?”

Ruan Yu shook her head with a light smile.
