Xu Jiaojiao’s heart felt warm, but her expression remained unchanged. Pretending not to care, she said, “Actually, I’ll just let the butler take care of me. You’re so busy every day, you don’t have to worry about me.”

Qi Shenbai looked at the joy in her eyes and thought it was quite cute. She was clearly overjoyed, but she still pretended to be unfazed.

“How can 1 do that?” He deliberately teased her. “I have to take care of you myself so you can recover as soon as possible.”

Xu Jiaojiao was confused. “But why?”

“The sooner you recover, the sooner you’ll be able to pursue me,” he said with a faint smile. “I’m still waiting for you to keep your promise.”

“…” Xu Jiaojiao choked on her own saliva. He was obviously mocking her!

“C-Could you stop mentioning that every day?!”

Qi Shenbai pretended to frown. “Are you going back on your word?”

“Well, no.” Xu Jiaojiao shook her head repeatedly and explained in a low voice, “I just feel a little embarrassed.”

There was a smile in his eyes. He held her cold fingertips gently and used his palms to warm her up. “Pm just glad to know you’ll keep your promise. That’s why you have to get better quickly, you hear? Don’t keep me waiting too long.”

He felt terrible seeing her so sickly, but there was nothing he could do to help.

Xu Jiaojiao felt the warmth of his palm. Even her heart felt warm as she gently nodded.

After the IV drip was done, Qi Shenbai skillfully removed the needle for her. He did not forget to press the needle mark with his fingers to prevent any blood from overflowing.

“You really know everything, huh?” Xu Jiaojiao felt much better after sleeping for an entire day and getting that drip. Her voice was even louder than before.

Qi Shenbai glanced at her. “Of course.”

It was just pulling out a needle, but she acted like he had done something amazing.

“You’re incredible!” Xu Jiaojiao’s face was filled with admiration. “I don’t even dare to look at the needle.”

The heater in the room was on, but Qi Shenbai put a sweater on her shoulders anyway. “It’s fine, because you won’t have to look at one ever again.”

“What?”

Before Xu Jiao jiao could digest the meaning behind his words, he continued, “Do you want to eat dinner downstairs or in your room?”

“Let’s go downstairs.” After lying in bed for an entire day, Xu Jiaojiao felt dizzy and bleary. She needed to move her body.

Xu Jiaojiao lifted her blanket and got off the bed, but she suddenly felt herself being lifted into the air.

Qi Shenbai held her waist and lifted her up horizontally. He even specially adjusted her posture to make her comfortable.

His arms were warm and his footsteps were steady. From her angle, she could see the sweet smile on his face and the deep affection in his eyes.

When Xu Jiaojiao spoke, her voice was still a little hoarse. “…1 can walk by myself.”

She really did not have the strength during the day, but she felt much better now.

Qi Shenbai looked down at her and said calmly, “Forget it. Your legs are short, so you’d walk too slowly.”

Xu Jiaojiao was flabbergasted.”???”

What did he mean, her legs were too short?!

The butler had already asked the chef to prepare some comforting porridge and side dishes, perfect for someone who had just recovered from their illness.

However, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of Qi Shenbai carrying Xu Jiaojiao down the stairs. A hint of mischief flashed across his eyes, and then he quickly averted his gaze.

Xu Jiaojiao noticed the butler’s gaze and blushed awkwardly. “Qi Shenbai, hurry up and put me down.”

She did not realize that her hoarse whisper was like a tantalizing breeze in Qi Shenbai’s ears, making his heart tremble.

He turned his head imperceptibly and walked into the dining room with a feigned calmness. Once there, he placed her carefully on a chair.

The servants quietly served their dinner and left.

Only the two of them were left in the dining room. Other than the sound of their breathing, there was only the occasional sound of their bowls and chopsticks colliding.

Once she was done with dinner, Xu Jiaojiao was afraid that he would carry her upstairs again, so she quickly stood up and said, “I’ll head up and take a shower first.”

The water heater in the hotel did not work very well, so she had not showered for the past two days. All she wanted now was to take a comfortable hot bath.

Qi Shenbai nodded. He thought of something and reminded her, “Actually, you shouldn’t take a shower immediately after dinner. Wait a little longer. Don’t wash your hair today either. You haven’t completely recovered from your cold.”

Xu Jiaojiao nodded obediently. “Got it.”

After saying that, she turned around and walked out of the dining room, her steps pattering upstairs.

Qi Shenbai looked at her excited little back and a smile unconsciously spread across his face, his lips curving into a smile.

The house had felt cold and empty over the past two days while she was away. Right now, even the sound of her light footsteps brightened up the house considerably.

From now on, he had to make sure she did not venture out along for too long..
