Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Qi Shenbai did not say anything, but Cang Xing could not stand it anymore, so he explained instead. “Mr. Qi was worried about you going on a trip alone, so he asked me to come along.”

Xu Jiaojiao suddenly realized that Cang Xing was the one who had told him about her situation.

“I’m sorry. Did I get in the way of your work?” Even if she never meant for this to happen, the fact remained that he had come from so far away for her sake.

Qi Shenbai slowly tightened his grip on her slender waist and said in a low voice, “Don’t apologize, you didn’t do anything to cause me trouble. I came here on my own accord.”

No one could make him do anything against his wishes.

Although Xu Jiaojiao could already guess the answer, she still wanted to hear it from him. “Why did you come here, then?”

Qi Shenbai looked at her bright eyes and his throat tightened. The deep affection in his eyes was overflowing.

However, Cang Xing was still around, so Qi Shenbai swallowed the words on the tip of his tongue.

“If I didn’t come, you wouldn’t be able to get back on your own.”

Xu Jiaojiao was a little embarrassed, explaining in a whisper, “Actually, even if you didn’t come over, I could have resolved this problem by myself. 1 won’t let anyone trample over me either.”

Qi Shenbai hooked the tip of her nose with his slender fingers, as if praising an obedient child. “Yes, you’re the best. Then why did you cry when you saw me just now?”

“That’s because…” Xu Jiaojiao opened her mouth, but she could not say the words.

Even she did not know why. Everything was under control before he arrived. She had not felt upset or afraid at all. The moment he showed up, though, she inexplicably felt the urge to cry.

The corners of Qi Shenbai’s lips curled up. His deep voice was like a gentle cello in her ears. “You can cry as much as you want in front of me. I won’t laugh at you.”

She was already having a fever, then she was framed and humiliated. It was only right for her to feel upset and overwhelmed. How could he call himself a man if his girl had to hold back her tears when she was sad?

“It’s not like I want to cry.” Xu Jiaojiao’s eyes were originally filled with tears, but after hearing Qi Shenbai’s words, she blinked them back. “Only babies cry so easily.”

Qi Shenbai chuckled. What kind of childish logic was that?

“Cough, cough, cough—” Xu Jiaojiao started coughing again, probably because she had said too much. Her throat felt itchy and taut.

Qi Shen patted her back gently to help her catch her breath, openly expressing the worry in his eyes.

Her lips were pale, and she looked listless. Just looking at her made his heart ache.

Xu Jiaojiao held back her cough and said in a hoarse voice, “Put me down. I don’t want to spread my cold to you.”

She tried to get away from him, but Qi Shenbai’s grip on her tightened. His tone brooked no argument. “It’s fine. Just sit here.”

“I shouldn’t…”

He interrupted her halfway through her sentence. “I said it’s fine, so it is. I’m pretty healthy, and 1 won’t catch a cold that easily. Besides—”

There was a slight pause. He rubbed his chin against her fuzzy little head. “I want to hold you a little longer.”

Xu Jiaojiao’s ears burned like they had been scalded. They felt a little numb.

Help!

Wasn’t she supposed to be chasing after him? Why was he being so forward all of a sudden?!

Xu Jiaojiao had not slept for almost the entire night last night. The fever made her even more lethargic, and she fell asleep not long after she finally relaxed in Qi Shenbai’s arms.

With Qi Shenbai by her side, she could finally have a good rest. No matter what happened, this man would take care of it.

When Xu Jiaojiao woke up, she found herself lying on the warm and comfortable bed at home. The faint fragrance of roses lingered on the tip of her nose.

Qi Shenbai was sitting on the sofa and looking down at the tablet in his hand.

He noticed she was awake the moment she opened her eyes. Putting down the tablet, he strode forward to touch her forehead. “Do you feel better?”

Xu Jiaojiao nodded. It was only then that she noticed the needle in the back of her hand. She immediately turned around and realized that it was already dark outside.

“It’s already nighttime?”

“Yes, you slept all day.” Qi Shenbai bent down to help her up and placed a pillow behind her. “Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?”

Xu Jiaojiao had not noticed it before, but now that he mentioned it, her stomach rumbled. She nodded and said, “I’m starving.”

Qi Shenbai looked up at the IV bottle and coaxed her patiently. “Just give it another ten minutes. You can eat after the drip is done.”

She nodded obediently. After hesitating for a moment, she could not help but ask him, “Have you been here all day taking care of me?”

“Yeah,” Qi Shenbai said nonchalantly..
