Lord God, do you want a wife?

Before Jia Yifan finished speaking, Bai Nian raised his head, staring into his eyes with a dagger-like gaze: "Why can only the two of us go?"

He felt a little uncomfortable under Bai Nian's gaze. He coughed dryly and tried to explain: "My mother is old and doesn't like too much noise. Besides... the room in the village is small and can only accommodate you and me."

Bai Nian smiled slightly, nodded in a clever manner, and put down the cup that Shu'er had brought to her. "Okay, then I'll do as you say." She replied softly.

When Jia Yifan saw Bai Nian agreed, a satisfied smile appeared on his face. He stood up and reached out to help Bai Nian up.

Bai Nian gently avoided his hand, stood up, and raised his eyebrows slightly, "I'm going to go shopping with Shu'er today, you stay in the inn."

Jia Yifan's face suddenly turned ugly.

Being rejected repeatedly by Bai Nian made him feel a little embarrassed.

"Niannian, you're tired from the journey, let's stay in the inn and rest." Jia Yifan said with concern.

Bai Nian had already turned around and winked at Shu'er, and the two of them walked out of the room together.

Her voice came from outside the door: "I know my own health, so you don't need to worry about it. You should prepare some things to bring to mother tomorrow."

Jia Yifan stood there with a frown on his face.

He felt that Bai Nian must have discovered something. Although she was spoiled before, she would be obedient as long as he gave her a few words of advice.

And I will never embarrass him in public like I did today.

In that case, don't blame him for being rude.

He sat in the room, a hint of cruelty flashing in his eyes.

......

The next morning, Jia Yifan arrived outside Bai Nian's room early.

Seeing Shu'er standing at the door, I felt a little unhappy.

He and Bai Nian are obviously husband and wife, but every time a guest asks to stay in the same room at the inn, Bai Nian refuses.

He snorted in his heart.

He even disdained to live with such a spoiled young lady. He came back this time just for Zhou Suxin.

As long as they could trick Bai Nian into their home and take her gold and silver jewelry, marrying Zhou Suxin would be a piece of cake.

Thinking of the greedy faces of the Zhou family, Jia Yifan felt so angry that his teeth itched.

If it weren't for the Zhou family, he wouldn't have traveled so long and left his hometown to come to Jiangdu.

Shu'er saw Jia Yifan coming over and bowed, "My son-in-law is here. I'll go get the young lady."

Jia Yifan watched Shu'er push the door open, narrowed his eyes slightly, and felt happy.

But a moment later, a cry of surprise was heard from inside the room, "Miss—what's wrong with you?"

When Jia Yifan heard this, he was afraid that something might have happened, so he hurried into the room.

When Yifan walked into the room, he saw Bai Nian leaning on the bed, his face pale, and his originally lively eyes now looked a little dull.

When Shu'er saw him, she felt as if she had seen her backbone. She stepped forward and said anxiously, "Sir, the young lady seems to have a fever. I'll ask someone to call a doctor right away!"

Jia Ta frowned, a barely perceptible panic flashed in his eyes. He nodded and walked quickly to the bed.

With a worried look on his face, he asked softly, "Nian Nian, how do you feel? Why did you suddenly get sick?"

Bai Nian's voice was weak and sounded a little powerless: "Husband, I don't know either. I just feel weak all over and my head is dizzy."

Jia Yifan reached out and gently touched Bai Nian's forehead, feeling the abnormal heat, and an even more worried look appeared on his face.

Originally, he thought Bai Nian was pretending to be sick, but when he felt the scorching temperature with his own hands, Jia Yifan cursed loudly in his heart.

Everything goes wrong when you come here on your own.

Although he thought so in his heart, Jia Yifan couldn't show it.

He sat down beside the bed, gently held Bai Nian's hand, and comforted her softly: "Niannian, don't worry, the doctor will be here soon, and you will get better soon."

Bai Nian forced a smile at the corner of her mouth, her hands trembling slightly, and she seemed to have no strength to even raise her hands.

Her eyes revealed a hint of dependence, and she said softly: "Husband, I feel much more at ease with you around."

After a while, Shu'er came in with the doctor.

The doctor was out of breath and seemed to have come in a hurry.

Before he could stand firmly, Jia Yifan pulled him over, and his beard trembled with anger.

He shook off Jia Yifan's hand, sat down and carefully felt her pulse, then slowly said: "Miss Bai's symptoms are typical of a cold attack, it's nothing serious. Just take the medicine I prescribed, keep the room warm, get more rest, and don't get angry, you will be cured in a few days."

Jia Yifan still maintained a worried look, "Thank you, doctor. Please prescribe the best medicine, as long as it can make my wife get better soon."

The doctor nodded in agreement, picked up the pen and wrote down a series of medicinal names on the prescription, handed it to the attendant, and instructed: "Go and come back quickly, don't delay."

The attendant took the order and left in a hurry, while Jia Yifan returned to Bai Nian's bedside.

"Nian Nian, today..."

Bai Nian's face was pale, with beads of sweat on her forehead. When she heard Jia Yifan say this, she naturally understood what he was thinking, "Husband, I may not be able to accompany you to the village today."

Jia Yifan sat on the edge of the bed, gently holding Bai Nian's hand, his eyes revealing deep tenderness: "It's okay, Nian Nian, you are so weak now, why don't you come home with me first, my mother can take care of you at home."

Bai Nian shook her head gently, "My husband, I know you mean well, but it's not decent to let my mother-in-law serve me. I'd better wait until I feel better, and then go home with you."

When Jia Yifan heard this, his expression froze slightly, but he quickly adjusted himself and showed a concerned smile, "Niannian, you are right, your health is the most important, we are not in a hurry."

Bai Nian nodded, her eyes full of guilt, "My husband hasn't been home for many years, and now he can't see his family because of me."

"Why don't you go home and see your mother first? I'll go back with you when I'm better."

Just as Jia Yifan was about to refuse, he saw Bai Nian stuffing a purse into his hand, "My husband can't go back empty-handed, bring some supplements for my mother."

He felt the heavy weight in his hand and swallowed the words that were about to come to his lips.

He suddenly felt that what Bai Nian said was right. Since they were already in Lu'an County, he didn't believe that Bai Nian could escape.

It’s okay even if I go back a few days later.

Not to mention, he had sent a letter in advance for this plan, although the letter contained many warnings and instructions for his mother not to make any mistakes.

But after all, I didn’t see it with my own eyes, and I still can’t let it go.

Since Bai Nian is ill, he can just go home and check on the situation, so that he can make up for any omissions in time.

Thinking of this, Jia Yifan nodded, patted the back of Bai Nian's hand gently, and continued: "Nian Nian is still thoughtful, then you have a good rest, I will go buy something for mother."
