Which is why Qiao Ning couldnât possibly like him that much, care about him that much.
Even if it were true, he wouldnât want itâ¦
He genuinely canât convince himself to accept the daughter of his enemy.
So he could only continue pushing her away. But why was she so annoying, not realizing that leaving was the best choice for both of them?
And whatâs with all the crying now? Heâs not dead yet!
Xiyang irritably turned over, closed his eyes to sleep, and coldly decided not to deal with anything.
But that night, he couldnât sleep well, always startling awake from his dreams.
In reality, he wasnât as indifferent as he seemed. This illness was indeed putting a lot of pressure on him.
But every time he woke in the middle of the night, it felt like Qiao Ning was still outside the door. Perhaps it was just his hallucination.
Early the next morning, Xiyang woke up early.
The nurse intended to help him with his hygiene routine, but he refused, âIâm not to the point where I canât take care of myself!â
Right now, other than a bit of physical weakness, everything else was normal. He felt like he must be healthy; the doctor must have made a mistake!
After washing up, Xiyang began to enjoy breakfast.
The nurse that his father hired was supremely skilled, even the breakfast she made was delicious.
Xiyang was eating when he suddenly heard a thud outside the door, as if someone had fallen.
He glanced outside in puzzlement. The nurse immediately went to check and soon returned to report, âYoung Master Chai, it seems the young lady from last night fell from the chair she was sleeping on outside.â
Xiyang froze slightly. Qiao Ning was still outside?
She was really dedicated to her act, having stayed outside all night.
The weather was getting colder now. By staying out like that all night, wasnât she afraid of freezing to death?
However, that wasnât his problem. Xiyang picked up the newspaper and started readingâ¦
Outside, however, Qiao Ning was in such pain that she couldnât get up.
Her legs had long gone cold and numb, moving them now caused great pain.
Just by chance, Hai Xiaotang and Dongfang Yu, who had come early to visit Xiyang, had witnessed her falling from the chair.
âQiao Ning, are you okay?â Hai Xiaotang rushed over to help her up in surprise.
Qiao Ning hesitated for a moment. âXiaotang, why are you here?â
âWe came to see Xiyang. Did you hurt yourself?â
âIâm fineâ¦â Qiao Ning sat on the chair with Xiaotangâs help, but her voice was a bit hoarse and her eyes were swollen.
Seeing her like this, Xiaotang knew she had been upset for a long time.
âYou slept out here the whole night?â She was surprised, it seemed unbelievable.
Qiao Ning looked at her but stayed silent.
A strange feeling came over Xiaotang. She quickly took off her coat to put on Qiao Ning. âPut this on quickly, arenât you cold?â
âNo need, Iâm fineâ¦â
As Qiao Ning tried to remove the coat to return it, Xiaotang firmly held it in place.
âIf I say wear it, then wear it. Youâve been out like this the whole night, you have to take care not to get sick!â
Qiao Ning showed a grateful smile. âI really am okayâ¦â
But it was clear by her voice that she had caught a cold, and she didnât look good either.
Xiaotang touched her hand. It was so cold!
She glared in anger, âAnd you said youâre fine. Why are you so stupid? Donât you know spending the night out here is bad for your health?â
Of course she knew that, but she forgot everything the night before, all she was worried about was Xiyangâs health.
Thinking about Xiyang, Qiao Ning got sad again, her eyes filled with sorrow.
