Duan Linbai’s head knocked into the driver’s seat, and he was dizzy. He was still shouting that a certain someone wasn’t loyal enough when he realized that Jing Hanchuan had turned around at an intersection.

“Hey, where are you going? Aren’t you sending me home?”

“We’re going to the hospital.” Jing Hanchuan’s tone was firm.

Duan Linbai was stunned. “I’m not f*cking going to the hospital! Let me out of the car!”

Ever since he had snow blindness two years ago, he had been traumatized by hospitals.

!!

“You can jump out if you dare.”

Duan Linbai’s pupils constricted slightly. “Are you f*cking speaking human language?!”

No matter how much he resisted, Jing Hanchuan still sent him to the hospital.

Duan Linbai couldn’t possibly fool around here. After all, it was a public place, and he still cared about his face. He put on a mask and half covered his face with a scarf before following Jing Hanchuan to the walk-in clinic.

“I just have a cold. Do I need to do this...” Duan Linbai looked around furtively. Because it was still the New Year’s Day holiday, there were not many people in the hospital. Other than the hospitalized patients, there were only the doctors and nurses on duty.

“You still have a slight fever,” Jing Hanchuan said.

“It’s not a big deal.”

The two of them passed through the walk-in clinic. It was full of the cries of children, and many nurses were coming and going. Duan Linbai frowned. This isn’t a children’s hospital. Why are there so many children? He was about to poke his head out to take a look when a few people in white coats rushed out.

Duan Linbai instinctively retreated to make way for them, but he saw one of them stop in front of him.

He looked up and saw a pair of peach blossom-like eyes. She gently pulled off her antiseptic mask. “Young Master Duan?”

It was actually Xu Jiamu.

“Why are you...”

“I’m an intern.”

During a doctor’s internship period, she took turns going to the various departments. A few months ago, she had gone to the respiratory department and the neurology department. Now, she had been transferred to the pediatrics department. It was winter, and there were many children with colds, so she had been called over to help during the holidays.

“Are you sick?” Xu Jiamu’s relationship with him was no longer as hostile as before.

“It’s just a cold. I’ll get going first. You go ahead.” With that, Duan Linbai walked in another direction.

Xu Jiamu put on her mask and stared at his back. She couldn’t help criticizing him.

He caught a cold when it was cold?

His body is really weak.

***

After Duan Linbai saw the doctor, he had his temperature taken and found that he really had a high fever. His tonsils were inflamed and infected, and there were also some signs of the winter flu. The doctor told him to take some medicine and stay in the hospital for a while for further observation.

Jing Hanchuan took his phone and walked to a secluded place to call Fu Chen.

“... Is he alright?”

“He has a cold and a fever. It might be the flu. He needs to stay in the hospital for further observation.”

While he was out, Duan Linbai was sitting on a chair and playing games. When he saw someone standing in front of him, he looked up and saw Xu Jiamu sitting beside him. “What did the doctor say?”

“He said I’m fine.”

Duan Linbai’s voice was dry and hoarse as he coughed lightly. The two of them were a little close at this moment, and he could even smell the faint scent of disinfectant on her body, making him feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

“That’s good. I’ll be in the hospital. If you need anything, look for me anytime.”

Since he had stood up for her at the hotel previously, Xu Jiamu naturally came to express her concern and greet him. She even specially went to find the doctor who had diagnosed Duan Linbai. After confirming that he was fine, she smiled and left.

When Jing Hanchuan returned, he happened to bump into her.

When he returned, he saw Duan Linbai sitting on the chair in a daze.

“What are you thinking about? Why are you so distracted?”

“Hanchuan, do you think she really has a crush on me?”

Jing Hanchuan raised an eyebrow. Where does he see this?

“Otherwise, why would she care so much about me? F*ck, she even poured me water. Even my mom doesn’t care so much about me! Do you know that when I had a cold and fever in the past, my mom would lower the temperature and say, ‘You’ll be fine after holding on for a while?’

“F*ck, I was about to be burned into a retard. She still wanted me to hold on?

“But my grandmother treats me very well and especially cares about me. She was very concerned about my little cough.”

...

“Your grandmother?” Jing Hanchuan raised his eyebrows and said something that made Duan Linbai break down. “In other words, Dr. Xu doted on you like you were her grandson just now?”

Duan Linbai’s heart collapsed, and he wished he could jump up and smash his dog head. “Your mouth is so vicious. How can the sweet lady boss stand you?!”

What dote on me like a grandson? Duan Linbai was cursing in his heart. Indeed, only Third Fu and Sinian can stand him. How f*cking ruthless.

Is his mouth smeared with poison? He’s a vicious-tongued monster.

Jing Hanchuan smiled and sat beside him. He lowered his head and sent Xu Yuanfei a message.

“So what if you’re in a relationship? When I’m in a relationship, I’ll definitely blind all of you.” Duan Linbai snorted coldly.

Jing Hanchuan glanced at him without saying anything.

Duan Linbai was a typical blabbermouth. He said vulgar things online and looked as if he lacked love. But if someone really sent themselves to his doorstep, he would hide far away.

Unless he met someone he liked and took the initiative to approach her, it was impossible for him to get into a relationship.

...

Duan Linbai stayed in the hospital for a while before answering a call. He took his medicine and went straight to his company.

“Aren’t you going to stay a little longer? Your temperature hasn’t dropped yet.” Jing Hanchuan frowned.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“I have something to do at the company. It’s fine. I won’t die.”

When the two of them went out, Duan Linbai’s assistant, Little Jiang, was already waiting at the entrance of the hospital. He jumped into the car and went straight to the company.

Jing Hanchuan narrowed his eyes and stared at the car driving away. Actually, there was no such thing as success for no reason in this world. Duan Linbai might have a strong backing and received a lot of unimaginable help, but the amount he had paid was also unimaginable to ordinary people.

After Duan Linbai arrived at the company, he found out that the company had bought a piece of land in Ning County and wanted him to be in charge of the demolition.

“Dad...” Duan Linbai was speechless. “Why is it me again?”

“This is the top priority for next year. Your uncle and I have already discussed it. When the new district was being developed, you did a good job with the demolition, so we decided to leave this task to you.”

“I’m not a husky. Why do you keep asking me to do demolitions?” Duan Linbai’s face was red from anger.

“The land has already been approved. I’m planning to build a large warehouse there as a distribution center. In the future, it will be very convenient to dispatch the goods to the surrounding counties and cities.”

...

Duan Linbai couldn’t hear what his father was saying at all.

Mobilizing people to demolish houses was a thankless task. Some households with tough attitudes could really fight it out with you. F*ck, I have to buy more insurance.

Duan Linbai had a fever, and he was a little dizzy. After the meeting ended, he stared at the demolition documents in a daze.

“Where is Ning County?”

Assistant Little Jiang frowned. “We’ve been there before.”

“When?”

“When you couldn’t see, you specially went to Ning County to block Miss Xu. It’s her hometown.”

Duan Linbai had been blind at the time and hadn’t seen what Ning County looked like, so he naturally didn’t have any memories of it. But the demolition work would be carried out after the new year. He put the documents aside and didn’t take it to heart for the time being.

On another side...

Fu Chen and the others stayed at the ski resort for another day before returning.

Although there were many elders, with the help of his second brother’s family, they safely sent everyone back.

Qiao Aiyun and Yan Wangchuan also bade farewell and returned to Nanjiang that night. The Qiao father and son returned to Suzhou while the Tang family took an afternoon flight back to M Nation.

Because Qiao Xiyan and Tang Jingci’s wedding date was on Valentine’s Day, which was only two and a half months away, the preparation time was very short, and everyone’s schedule was very tight.

Fu Chen naturally didn’t keep them any longer and sent them to the airport with Song Fengwan. When they returned to Yunjin Prime Manor, it was already past nine in the evening.

The two of them had been very tired recently. They washed up briefly and went to bed to rest. They hugged each other and slept the whole night. Nothing happened.

The next morning, as soon as Song Fengwan woke up, she felt someone hugging her. The man’s warm chest was pressed tightly against hers, and it was a little hot.

Just as she was about to move her body, she felt a certain someone’s body part and immediately blushed.

“This is normal for men in the morning...” Fu Chen’s hot breath blew on the side of her neck.

Song Fengwan shrank her neck, lifted the blanket, and was about to run when a certain someone pulled her back.

After the fierce battle ended, it was already past nine in the morning.

Fu Chen moved quickly. He took a shower and went downstairs feeling refreshed.

This made Song Fengwan feel extremely depressed. Don’t novels and TV dramas say stuff about women squeezing men dry?

But when it’s my turn, why am I squeezed dry?

When she finished washing up and was about to go downstairs, she received a message from Fu Chen. [There are guests at home.]

Song Fengwan frowned. It’s still the holidays. Who would come?

Fu Chen had sent her the message because he was afraid that she would dress inappropriately and go down in her pajamas. It wouldn’t be dignified.

She changed into a sweater and pants. Before she reached downstairs, she heard a slightly familiar woman’s voice...

This is...

The Miss Nie in the wheelchair?

Why is she here?
