“Great.” Shen Ruoyi nodded. “After I get to know your cousin, tell me what it is that you want me to help you with.”


  “It’s a deal.”


  Sheng Minghui did not care how her sister-in-law would feel after knowing what she did.

  Perhaps, she would want to kill Sheng Minghui!

  …


  When Sheng Minglan reached Jianchuan, it was already eleven o’clock at night. She did not change her outfit and went straight to Jing Yun’s house after asking Sheng Xiao for the address.

  Jing Yun had fallen ill due to fatigue. He also experienced an upset stomach. Although he had taken the medicine, his body was still burning.

  It was no doubt that Sheng Xiao’s words was one of the reasons that had made him fall sick. Nobody in this world was invincible.

  Soon, Sheng Minglan was standing in front of Jing Yun’s door. She hesitated, but still she gathered her courage to ring the doorbell.

  Jing Yun got out of the bed in pain. When he opened the door and saw Sheng Minglan, he was surprised. When Sheng Minglan saw that he was too sick to show his emotion on his face, she knew he was very sick.

  “Miss Minglan…”


  When Sheng Minglan heard his hoarse voice, she reached out her hand and touched his forehead. Her hand felt hot, so she immediately pushed him inside. “Why don’t you go to the hospital? How long has you been having a fever?”


  “I’m fine,” said Jing Yun.

  “You will become an idiot if you keep on burning. How can you be fine? Where is the thermometer?”


  Jing Yun lay in bed and pointed to the headboard.

  Sheng Minglan took it and ordered, “Open your mouth!”


  Jing Yun did not move.

  “I said open your mouth.”Jing Yun helplessly opened his mouth. After two minutes, Sheng Minglan was shocked after reading the temperature. “You really don’t think of yourself as a human. I will get you some medicine first, then only I will cool you down.”


  When Jing Yun saw her standing up, he grabbed her hand. “When I let you go, why don’t you run away?”


  Sheng Minglan shook his hand off and said, “You can just think that I am cheap.”


  “How can I see you as something cheap?”


  Maybe it was because he was sick, he was cuter than his usual self.

  “Stop talking or your fever will worsen.” Then, Sheng Minglan found the medicine and fed him a strong fever reducer. But now that he had an upset stomach, he would feel more uncomfortable if he took a strong medicine. So, there was one moment that he curled up his body in pain.

  Sheng Minglan sighed and helped him up. Then, she gave him a massage. “Why must you torture yourself?”


  “You… have got a new assistant.”


  “Yes, I have got a new assistant, because I need someone to help me,” explained Sheng Minglan.

  “Will you grow to like him?”


  “Don’t you know who I like?” Sheng Minglan pinched him subconsciously. “If it is not because of the man I like, I wouldn’t have come back now. I have not showered for two days and I have just attended a meeting. Then, I heard from Xiao Qi that you are sick. I am so worried, so I come back. Luckily, I did. Otherwise, you will die alone in this house.”


  “Miss Minglan…”


  “Don’t call me that.” Sheng Minglan was irritated. “I am a Sheng. But when I try to pursue a man, he ignores me.”


  Jing Yun was in intense pain and he grabbed Sheng Minglan’s hand. “Can you just… keep quiet for one minute?”


  Sheng Minglan stopped talking immediately. After a while, she said, “Let’s go to the hospital, you can get better treatment there. Or should I call for a doctor?”


  Jing Yun did not say anything and passed out because of the pain.

  Because of his stomach, he was very weak. His fever would not subside.

  Sheng Minglan felt helpless and called for a doctor.

  The night passed in hectic and Jing Yun’s fever only subsided when it was already in the morning.

  Sheng Minglan was so tired so she slept on the couch.

  When Jing Yun woke up and saw the woman he loved in front of him, he suddenly thought that he was in a dream.

  Soon, Sheng Minglan woke up and their eyes met. Looking at his eyes, she could not get angry with him anymore. “Are you hungry?”


  Jing Yun shook his head.

  “Does your stomach still hurt?”


  Jing Yun shook his head.

  “I will cook you some porridge.” Sheng Minglan got up but Jing Yun pulled her into his arms.

  “You are so cunning. Why did you come to me when my will is the weakest?”


  Sheng Minglan hugged Jing Yun. “Because you can’t resist me.”


  “I don’t want to see you being with the assistant.”


  “Do you think that I will simply be together with any assistant?” Sheng Minglan smiled helplessly. “Our affection has been built for years. It is not something comparable with just anything.”


  After hearing Sheng Minglan’s answer, Jing Yun felt relieved.

  “Can you let me go now?”


  Jing Yun slowly let her go. But from his eyes, it could be seen that he had put down his guard and there was more affection.

  Seeing this, Sheng Minglan got up once again and went to the kitchen to make some porridge.

  This man was so tiresome. If he did not like her to get along with another man, he could just say aloud. But he kept it in his heart and made himself miserable. Why must he mess himself up?

  Anyway, Sheng Minglan knew that Jing Yun had finally opened his heart to her. He did not reject her anymore.

  Although he would still be alert when it came to some sensitive issues, with his response today, she had the courage to pursue a relationship with him.

  Speaking of this, Xiao Qi had really become their matchmaker.

  This morning, after Jing Yun had some porridge, he fell asleep again.

  Then only Sheng Minglan got the chance to call Mu Qiqi. “His fever has subsided…”


  “Fourth Sister, has that logwood changed now that he is sick?”


  “Xiao Qi!”


  Her shyness meant that there must be progress. Mu Qiqi restrained her laugh. “Since that’s the case, then I will not visit Jing Yun today. You two can go on with whatever you are doing.”


  Sheng Minglan’s face and neck were red.

  Mu Qiqi could picture how they were last night. Finally, her effort was not wasted.

  Fourth Sister rushed to his house overnight. If Jing Yun could still resist, then he was really not a human.

  Taking the chance that Jing Yun was still asleep, Sheng Minglan looked around his house. He did not bring anything out from Sheng Mansion aside from her gifts. Her gifts would always be with him wherever he went. As for the gold card, Jing Yun had cut it into pieces. To him, the money was useless if it was not useful to Sheng Minglan. So, he would rather not leave it.

  “How can there be such an idiot in this world?”


  Sheng Minglan found the cellophane tape and taped the card back.

  She would take it, alright?
