Chapter 104: The Crying Child

Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Qi Shenbai pushed her hair away from her face, his deep eyes filled with gentleness. His gaze on her was passionate and devoted, as if he was looking at an unprecedented treasure.

As smart as he was, how could he not tell what she was hiding? It was just that she was unwilling to say it out loud, and he would not force her.

He respected her, as well as her little secret.

He carefully lifted her hand to his lips and kissed it affectionately.

Since he was afraid that Xu Jiaojiao’s fever would flare up again at night, Qi Shenbai did not sleep the entire night. From time to time, he would check on her temperature to make sure that it was normal.

Xu Jiaojiao slept deeply because of the cold medicine, so she was completely unaware of his actions. It was not until the sky outside was bright that Qi Shenbai returned to his room to rest.

The next day, when Xu Jiaojiao opened her eyes again, she felt that her body was not as heavy as before. However, her throat was still a little dry and itchy, and she would occasionally cough a few times.

Qi Shenbai asked the family doctor to give her another anti-inflammatory drip.

Xu Jiaojiao hid her hand under the blanket and refused any more needles. “I feel like I’m all better now! I’m really not lying… Cough, cough, cough…” Halfway through her sentence, she could not help but cough.

“Your bad cough says otherwise.” Qi Shenbai frowned, his tone stern. “You little liar.”

When Xu Jiaojiao saw the doctor take out the IV drip, she immediately panicked and begged pitifully, “Qi Shenbai… Mr. Qi, Master Qi, can I please refuse the drip?”

Qi Shenbai’s heart softened when he saw her pitiful look. However, when he heard her cough, he could only reject her heartlessly. “No, you have to get it.” Seeing that there was no hope, Xu Jiaojiao hung her head dejectedly. Her outstretched hand trembled…

After the doctor disinfected the back of her hand and was about to insert the needle, Xu Jiaojiao screamed and pulled her hand back.

The doctor felt a little helpless. “Mrs. Qi, I haven’t even started yet.”

“Is that so?” Xu Jiaojiao slowly opened her eyes and saw the doctor looking at her exasperatedly with a needle in his hand. “I’m sorry.”

The moment she turned around, she saw Qi Shenbai’s smiling eyes. She turned her face away shyly.

She was acting like a scared little kid! How embarrassing.

“I’ll do it,” Qi Shenbai offered.
