A dark gloom spreading over Gu Zechen’s countenance, he is not fooled by Su Ni’s words. When he was fiercer than is now, Su Ni didn’t behave like this. Gu Zechen immediately lets go of Su Ni and says coldly, “I’ll call Xiao Ming.” “No need.” Su Ni gets up and fails to stop Gu Zechen. The latter’s phone has been connected, “Come here immediately, yes, right now.” Su Ni closes her eyes and Luo Heng’s reminder suddenly pops up in her mind. “Xiao Ming will not be able to detect the drugs she took without the help of instruments”, she prays. “I want to take a shower first.”

Su Ni begs in a low voice. Seeing Gu Zechen not responding to her, Su Ni struggles to sit up and justifies herself: “It’s so embarrassing for other people to see me like this, I have to…” “What a nuisance!” Gu Zechen grunts in a low voice and walks over to take her into his arms. Su Ni’s body is limp, as if she has no bones, and Gu Zechen frowns even more. In the bathroom, Su Ni leans against the bathtub. Gu Zechen lowers his head, and carefully washes her body. Su Ni wants to say something but Gu Zechen never says a word. “I’m really fine, I feel better now.” Su Ni whispers. In fact, she feels that her heart is racing, skipping a beat or fluttering. Besides that, it also comes with shortness of breath. “Take a rest, the doctor will be here in a minute.” Gu Zechen has always believed in his own judgment, and this time he has doubts about Su Ni, so he doesn’t want to say anything to her. He turns around and takes a bath towel, wrapping Su Ni’s up inside.

There are car lights outside. It must be Xiao Ming coming. “Stay in bed.” Gu Zechen says in a cold tone. Su Ni knows it is an order. Even though his eyebrows are calm now and he doesn’t show any anger, Su Ni knows that tonight her chances of surviving this is slim. Su Ni so unbelievably behaved herself that she even allows Gu Zechen to put on pajamas for her, and then tucks her in a quilt to cover herself completely.

Soon, Su Ni hears the door pushed open, and in come Xiao Ming’s unconcealed complaints, making her feel even more embarrassed and she can’t help turning her head. “Look at you guys, what the hell is going on? Didn’t I tell you before that she needs to have a good rest? What happened to her this time again?” Xiao Ming grunts, and when he comes closer, he finds Su Ni’s eyes wide open, and she doesn’t seem like just waking up. He touches his nose in embarrassment, pretending to be relaxed: “Sister-in-law, I’m joking with him.” Su Ni bites her lip without saying a word.

“Take a look at her first. Don’t talk so much nonsense.” Gu Zechen interrupts Xiao Ming roughly. “Be quiet, I am examining the patient now.” Xiao Ming replies. “Sister-in-law, can you tell me where you feel uncomfotable?” Su Ni is still sober, so his situation is much better than last time when Su Ni was completely unconscious. He couldn’t ask her questions then, so it was extremely difficult to examine her to know about her conditions. “I’m okay, I just feel that my body is weak, and I can’t move.” Su Ni is lying in the quilt, feeling difficult to breathe, let alone speaking. Gu Zechen adds later: “She has a fever, her body temperature is very high, and her fever is different from the last time, what is going wrong?”

“My sister-in-law is seriously injured before. I’m afraid she needs to go to hospital for a thorough checkup. It is no big surprise she feels tired and weak. After all, she has not fully recovered yet. Gu Zechen, are you a beast? She is your wife. How can you treat her like that?” Xiao Ming is very angry. But when he sees Gu Zechen standing there, his face black, Xiao Ming’s voice becomes much softer now. Gu Zechen just stares at him blankly without making any excuses. Xiao Ming is made speechless now. He already knows Su Ni’s conditions, so he stands up, prescribes some medicine for her, and hands it to Gu Zechen, “Take this medicine and take good care of her. All she needs now is a good rest. To leave her alone is the best way to take care of her.” Gu Zechen’s face dark, he casts a quick glance at Su Ni who is lying on the bed. The latter closes her eyes immediately, avoiding his sharp eyes cast upon her. “I’ll leave now. It’s the middle of the night, so can you just let me go back to sleep more?”Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

Xiao Ming yawns, carrying his medicine kit, he is walking towards the door. Gu Zechen says, “I’ll see you off.” Downstairs, Xiao Ming is not in a hurry to leave. Gu Zechen looks at him with a cold expression on his face, leaving no room for anyone to question him, “Su Ni’s condition is not as simple as you said just now, isn’t it?” Xiao Ming raises his eyebrows without saying anything. “What is the matter with her?” Gu Zechen asks in a low voice. “What I said before is not wrong. Su Ni has not fully recovered and she can’t have sex now. What’s worse, you might be having too much of it!” Xiao Ming looks helpless. He can’t make comments about this kind of thing, the only thing he can do is to remind him of the consequences. “I know much better than you do about whether we are having too much, only one more question, just tell me the truth, did Su Ni take the medicine?” Gu Zechen’s eyes glowing, he stares straight at Xiao Ming, and the latter seems startled by his question and the way he looks at him. Seeing a flicker of doubt and panic flashing across Xiao Ming’s eyes, in the next moment Gu Zechen grabs him by the collar and asks him in a low voice, “Is it right?”

“Since you already know it, why do you still ask me? As soon as I see her blushing abnormally plus the symptoms you told me, I guess she might take the medcine.” Xiao Ming hurriedly breaks loose from Gu Zechen’s grip. Then he quickly puts a certain distance between himself and Gu Zechen, as if Gu Zechen is a lunatic, “I think Su Ni is also afraid of you, so she will come up with such a trick to torture herself.” Seeing Gu Zechen not speaking, Xiao Ming shakes his head again. With a helpless expression on his face, he says: “Gu Zechen, you should really think about your relationship. If she takes medicine too frequently, her health will be ruined. Judging from Su Ni’s current state, I think her body is obviously overwhelmed. I’m afraid it will be even worse in the future.” After finishing what he wants to say, Xiao Ming gets in the car and leaves, leaving Gu Zechen standing there still. Gu Zechen turns around and moves upstairs with a gloomy face. An Rong comes up to inquire about Su Ni’s condition. Gu Zechen doesn’t squint, completely ignoring An Rong’s existence, and the servants exchange a look at each other, fearing that the situation is not good for Su Ni. An Rong wants to catch up, but Gu Zechen has already gone upstairs in just a few steps. An Rong frowns and clenches her fist tightly.

With a bang, the door is pushed open, and Su Ni is so scared that she immediately sits up from the bed and stares at Gu Zechen nervously. Gu Zechen stays downstairs for so long. Can it be that Xiao Ming discovers something? “Ze Chen, I will be fine after a good sleep.” Su Ni’s voice is very low, this is the way she always is in front of Gu Zechen. Gu Zechen’s complexion pale, and the muscles on his face stiff, he looks terrifying. Su Ni is silent, waiting for him to speak first. A few seconds later, Gu Zechen faintly spits out two words, “Xiao Ming says you need to take a rest, and if it doesn’t work tomorrow, go to hospital.” “Emm.” Su Ni smiles at him obediently, feeling relieved. Gu Zechen examines her facial expression closely, a trace of dissatisfaction, bitterness and contempt flashing across his face. Late at night, Gu Zechen doesn’t hug her as usual, but says: “Su Ni, you know I hate when people lie to me, do you?”
