Chapter 76 - Xiao Li Felt Helpless
Later in the afternoon...
"Achoo-" Xiao li suddenly sneezed.
Yang lingsi who was at the side wore a worried look and said to Xiao li, "Young miss, you have a cold already"
This wasn't the third time Xiao li sneezed and this made Yang lingsi's face turn pale. She quickly ordered a servant to reduce the air condition and turn on the heat.
Xiao li heard Yang Lingsi's worried voice and titled her head slightly to look at her. Just as she opened her mouth to talk, she sneezed again.
Yang Lingsi cried out, "Young miss, you should really go to the hospital" As she spoke, she made her way towards the telephone and made a call. "Young master, young miss has caught a cold. She isn't going to-"
At that very moment, Xiao li's nose felt sour and somewhat uncomfortable. She raised her hand to rub her nose. Yet, another sound came out which interrupted Yang Lingsi's words. Yang Lingsi turned her head to see Xiao li's paled face. She had her hand on her head.
Instantly, Xiao li felt a nasty headache. She couldn't bear the pain anymore and she began to sweat furiously.
On the other hand, Jingyi Wang heard her sneeze and his eyebrow furrowed slightly.
He suddenly remembered that when he was leaving the villa in the morning, Xiao li only put on a thin cloth.
Recently, the G. city had just entered into autumn and she had not been paying attention to the temperature. The difference between the temperature in the day is clearly different from the night.
Jingyi Wang quickly said in a cold tone, "Yang Lingsi, boil some red sugar ginger tea for her"
"Okay, young master"
After receiving the order from Jingyi Wang, she hung up the call and quickly boiled the ginger tea for Xiao li. After boiling the ginger tea, Yang Lingsi handed it over to Xiao li. She said, "Young miss, you have to drink this"
Xiao li's head was lowered the whole time, but when she heard Yang Lingsi's voice, she raised her head and took the tea from her. She moved it closer to her lips and drank a few sips of the tea.
However, her eyebrows furrowed due to how spicy it was. Her lips twisted slightly. She really could not bring herself to swallow it down.
Just as she was about to put the cup down, she heard a familiar footsteps coming closer. She immediately raised her head and saw Jingyi Wang walking towards her.
Upon seeing him, Xiao li had a bad feeling.
It seemed like if she did not swallow the tea, she would not leave this room. She hurriedly swallowed the tea and complained bitterly, "Ah Jin, this ginger tea is really too spicy. Can I drink it later?"
She looked at him with hope in her eyes.
"No" Jingyi Wang said coldly.
Xiao li felt helpless.
Jingyi Wang continued, "You should drink the ginger tea first; it will surely warm up your body. You are not taking it later, but now"
Hearing this, Xiao li's heart sank deeply. She lowered her head in sadness.
"Young miss, young master is actually right" Yang lingsi spoke up from the side. "Recently a lot of people have been catching cold and their symptoms are especially serious so you have to take it right now"
Xiao li heard this and was stunned.
Why did she feel like Yang Lingsi was becoming more like Jingyi Wang; so overbearing and domineering?
With her lips slightly twisted, Xiao li could only raise her cup to her lips and drank several sips. In the end, because it was spicy, she pinched her nose and gulped it down at once.
Seeing that she had drank it till he can see the bottom of the cup, Jingyi Wang smiled satisfying and asked Yang Lingsi to go prepare lunch.
Afterwards, Jingyi Wang carried Xiao li in his arms and walked towards the bedroom.
Not long after they got to the room, Xiao li's mind became somewhat dizzy and heavy. She was not sure if it was because she really had a cold or because she drank alcohol yesterday.
Feeling her body warm up to the point of discomfort, Xiao li felt that she needed to take a bath quickly. She raised her head and stared at Jingyi Wang's face, "Ah Jin, I want to bathe, can I?"
Willingly, Jingyi Wang carried her to the bathroom and started to remove her clothes. Seeing that he was about to remove her clothes, Xiao li tried to stop him, but she had no strength left in her.
However, she had to give up and allow him to remove her clothes.
After staying in the water for a minute, Xiao li closed her eyes. She began to feel sleepy at that moment and no matter what, she could not still sleep properly. She wanted to open her eyes, yet she could not.
At that point to time, she felt that her body was being tossed between cold and heat. One moment, she felt like her body was being placed on an ice and in the next moment, she felt like she was being cooked in a pot.
This feeling was extremely uncomfortable.
It got to the point that she tried to open her eyes, but her eyelids were heavy that she could not lift them.
At that moment, she felt a warm hand gently pressed against her head.
"She has a fever. Yang lingsi, go and bring the medicine"
A cold and calm voice travelled past her ears. Every words he said was smooth and beckoning. His voice was like sunshine; warm and rich.
Then she was instantly carried out of the bathtub by him. Xiao li was somewhat confused, unaware of where she was. She was not even conscious of the fact that she was naked.
Due to the boiling heat of her body that was beyond his expectation, Jingyi Wang wrapped her body in a towel while Xiao li leaned her head in his embrace, closing her eyes in pain.
"Young master, this is the fever reducing medicine. Also, i've brought the thermometer"
Xiao li heard the voice say; it was Yang Lingsi's voice. Her voice was somewhat breathless as if she had just ran.
Xiao li was placed on the bed and she felt that the warm body left her. She slightly frowned.
Just as Jingyi Wang wanted to collect the medicine, he felt a hand subconsciously grabbed onto the sleeve of his shirt. Jingyi Wang lowered his head and saw her action. He slowly removed her hand to hold her hand instead and patted it slowly, "Don't worry, I won't leave"
