Si Jingyun ruffled the girl’s hair. When he saw a small irritated ball of cuteness, his eyes lit up with a smile.

“Jinny, get in the car.”

His sudden act of intimacy made Lu Jinqi’s mind go blank for a moment.

Her eyelids twitched and she smiled. “I’m actually fine, you can go.”

“Don’t tell me you want me to carry you there?”

Si Jingyun bent down and whispered in her ear. The last word he said seemed slightly seductive.

In Xie Shuyao’s eyes, the way they acted seemed like a couple’s interaction, making her excited.

‘This couple is going to be sweeter than the candy Qiqi eats.’

She did not expect Si Jingyun to say something like that, so Lu Jinqi’s pupils constricted slightly as she slipped past him.

She was afraid that this man would keep his promise. She quickly walked towards the car, opened the door, and sat down.

Seeing her like this, Si Jingyun chuckled softly.

After the two of them got into the car, Qi Ye — the very observant street lamp — closed the partition between them.

After Lu Jinqi got into the car, she did not say a word. There was a faint pine fragrance in the car, just like the smell on this man’s body. Smelling the fragrance, Lu Jinqi’s eyelids became heavier and heavier, and in the end, she fell asleep.

Si Jingyun turned his head and saw that she had already started to sleep soundly against the headrest. He could not help but laugh.

“Qi Ye, raise the temperature,” Si Jingyun said faintly as he opened the partition.

“Yes, sir.” Qi Ye tapped on the screen to change the temperature. He looked up and saw his boss gently leaning her head against his shoulder. Most importantly, he took off his coat and covered her body.

He was baffled! ‘There was a blanket behind me dude. Are you really the Jingyun I know?’

“Master Jing, are we going to the hospital?” Despite his surprise, Qi Ye still remained calm.

“Go to Graceland Manor.”

…

The car drove all the way to Graceland Manor and finally stopped at the entrance. When the car stopped, he thought that the person beside him would wake up, but to no avail.

Si Jingyun’s expression changed. He stretched out his hand and realized that the girl’s temperature had rapidly risen from the time they left the school.

“Get Yu Ze.” He quickly ordered someone nearby, sounding harsh. Then, Si Jingyun hastily carried the girl and quickly walked into the house.

When the butler heard the sound of footsteps, he turned his head. To his surprise, he saw his young master carrying someone upstairs. He could not help but rub his eyes. Was he seeing things? The person in the young master’s arms seemed to be a girl.

Upstairs, Si Jingyun carefully placed Lu Jinqi on the bed and asked coldly, “Why isn’t Yu Ze here yet?”

‘Master Jing, it’s only been less than three minutes. Even if Doctor Yu can fly, it’ll be impossible for him to get here this quickly.’ Qi Ye laughed bitterly as he thought to himself. He thought better than to say somelike like that so he only reassured his friend, “He’s on his way.”

Five minutes later, a bespectacled man wearing a white lab coat appeared in Graceland Manor.

“Master Jing, what’s the matter?” Yu Ze saw a girl lying on Si Jingyun’s bed the moment he entered the room and turned around to ask.

“She has a fever. Go and take a look,” Si Jingyun ignored his frantic movements and only spoke slowly.

The time taken for the doctor to arrive had made him realize that he was acting overly nervous.

Not hearing the answer he wanted, Yu Ze shrugged and went forward to take the girl’s temperature. When he saw the number on the thermometer, he exclaimed, “Forty degrees? This young lady is a ruthless person.”

“If you continue talking sh*t out of your mouth, I know different ways to shut you up if you want to continue on with your research.” Si Jingyun looked at him coldly, his entire demeanor was filled with hostility.

The moment he finished speaking, Yu Ze’s lips stiffened. ‘Withdrawing the investment just because of a disagreement, are you even listening to yourself?’ However, he did not have the guts to say this. For the sake of future research, he quickly injected the fever reduction needle into Lu Jinqi’s body.

“Alright, the fever-reducing liquid has been injected. If nothing goes wrong, she’ll probably wake later in the night.” Yu Ze stood up and passed the medicine in his hand. “Give her these two pills when she wakes up.”

After receiving the medicine, Si Jingyun mercilessly chased the doctor away. “You can leave now.”

After hearing that, Yu Ze widened his eyes with a look of complaint. “No way, Master Jing. With all due respect, I rushed over immediately when I received the call. Now you’re chasing me away without even offering a cup of tea? It’s just not good common hospitality, isn’t it?”

“Qi Ye, bring him down to have a good cup of tea. Don’t leave until he’s full of it.” Si Jingyun’s expression was indifferent and there was no trace of a joke on his face.

Qi Ye smiled slightly. “Alright, Doctor Yu, let’s go.”

Hearing this, Yu Ze dared not to drink any more tea thereafter the random midnight disaster call. He picked up his medical kit and left the place immediately. One could hear his mumbles from afar as he left. “Si Jingyun, d*mn it, I won’t come again the next time you ask.”

Hearing that, Si Jingyun raised his perfectly crafted eyebrows. It seemed like he had emotionally invested too much in this little child.

…

It was already night time when Lu Jinqi woke up. She looked at the decorations in the room and frowned.

She was in that man’s room.

She stood up and walked out. When she smelled the aromatic fragrance in the air, she went straight downstairs. Then, she saw the man sitting leisurely on the sofa, looking down at a few documents. Perhaps he heard the sound of her footsteps, because when he looked up, their eyes met.

“I never expected to experience your virtuous side.” Lu Jinqi’s thin lips curled up as she looked meaningfully in the direction of the kitchen.

At that moment, Si Jingyun understood what the child said and put down the documents in his hands. His gaze had a deep meaning as a mischievous look flashed across his eyes. His sultry voice carried with a hint of a smile.

“Jinny, you must be sick, are you dreaming of me?”

“…”

Just as the two of them intently looked at each other, the kitchen door opened and a middle-aged woman appeared with a bowl of porridge.

When she saw Lu Jinqi, she smiled. “Ms, you’re awake. Please come sit down and have some porridge.”

Lu Jinqi could not refuse her kindness, so she walked over and sat down.

“Thank you for the meal.”

“Ms, you can just call me Yena.” This was the first time the woman had seen such a good-looking and polite girl, and her heart was immediately filled with love.

Lu Jinqi lowered her head and took a sip of porridge, instantly feeling warm in her stomach.

“Yena, my name is Lu Jinqi. I’m sorry for disrupting your sleep late at night to cook porridge for me,” Lu Jinqi said apologetically.

Yena hurriedly shook her head. “Ms Jinqi, you’re much too kind.”

Si Jingyun stood up and poured a glass of water, placing the medicine and water on the table. “Take the medicine first before eating.”

Lu Jinqi glanced at him, acting as though she didn not hear him, and slowly took another spoonful of porridge.

Si Jingyun knocked on the table at a moderate pace. His deep voice was filled with an unyielding tone.

“Jinny, take your medicine.”

“I didn’t expect you to be this good at helping others. Now, you’re even making sure I take my meds.”

Lu Jinqi’s lips curled into a smile as she swallowed the medicine.

Who would have thought that just as she finished speaking…

Si Jingyun placed both his hands on the back of her chair. The corners of his lips curled up as he said nonchalantly, “Are you implying that I’m meddling in other people’s business.”

When Yena saw this scene, the smile in her eyes could not be contained and she quietly retreated.

This was the first time she had seen the young master bring a girl home, and he was being very gentle. It seemed like the old master did have to worry about him finding love.

Lu Jinqi saw this and calmly took the bowl and finished the porridge. She did not care how intimate their positions currently were.

“So, do you want some porridge?” Lu Jinqi looked at the porridge in her bowl and asked with a hint of playfulness in her eyes.

She originally wanted to tease this man, but who would have thought that this man would not play by the rules.

“If you feed me, I’ll consider it.”

The man’s eyes were hard to read, and his face was impassive as he spoke. He chuckled softly, surprised at what he had just said.
