After staying in the hospital until the evening, Jiang Qingyan didn't dare to leave Fu Miaoxi for a moment. He even stayed by her bedside when she slept.

"The fever has subsided, and it seems unlikely to return. You can take him home if you want."

Pei Yunjing carefully instructed Jiang Qingyan on the use of various medicines, and strictly forbade Fu Miaoxi to take a bath, saying that he would give her an IV drip for another day tomorrow to see how things went.

"She needs to rest more, drink more water, and go out less recently."

Jiang Qingyan wrote down everything, then carried the still sleeping Fu Miaoxi out of the hospital and returned to Dongli Mansion.

When Fu Miaoxi woke up, it was already dark.

Jiang Qingyan was wearing dark home clothes. He had a computer on a small table beside the bed and was looking at the screen with glasses on. He was engrossed in what he was looking at.

Noticing the quilt on the bed moved, he looked up at Fu Miaoxi: "Awake?"

Fu Miaoxi's throat felt burning and painful, seemingly due to the aftereffects of the fever. "Uncle..."

"Stop talking. I'll have someone bring you food. Have some egg custard and then take a nap."

Fu Miaoxi felt embarrassed to eat in his bedroom, so she weakly said that she could go downstairs to eat.

"No, it will be even worse if you catch a cold." Jiang Qingyan saw that the redness and swelling on her face had subsided a little, and tucked the corner of her quilt: "Is there any pain anywhere else? If so, I can apply some more medicine for you."

Fu Miaoxi hesitated for a moment and shook her head.

Jiang Qingyan narrowed his eyes: "Tell me the truth."

Fu Miaoxi looked up at him aggrievedly: "My waist... is a little itchy."

"itch?"

Jiang Qingyan ordered food for her first, and then called Pei Yunjing.

After Fu Miaoxi finished her meal, Jiang Qingyan came in with a tube of ointment: "Pei Yunjing said that the burn on your waist is not too serious. It's normal to feel itchy, but you can't scratch it. I'll apply something cooling and itchy. You can have a good sleep."

Fu Miaoxi glanced at the ointment in his hand, then looked at him again: "Can Aunt Xun come?"

A hint of smile flashed across Jiang Qingyan's stern face, and he stretched out his tone: "Fu Miaomiao, do you feel shy now?"

Fu Miaoxi uttered a cry, covered her face with the corner of the quilt, and shrank back into bed: "Then you wipe it, then you wipe it."

After saying that, he turned over and lay straight on the bed.

Jiang Qingyan pulled the quilt but didn't move it.

Fu Miaoxi consciously turned the quilt over around her waist, but still buried her face in the quilt, which seemed like she was trying to cover up her crime while trying to steal the bell.

Quite energetic.

Seeing Fu Miaoxi like this, Jiang Qingyan's heart, which had been anxious for several days, calmed down a little.

But after he lifted up Fu Miaoxi's clothes, revealing the burned skin on her waist, Jiang Qingyan's heart sank again.

The reddish-brown scar reminded Jiang Qingyan that Fu Miaoxi's kidnapping was not just a nightmare.

"By the way, uncle!" Fu Miaoxi's voice was low and hoarse while covered in the quilt, without the softness and sweetness of the past.

"The little rabbit you gave me seemed to have been taken away by them. It disappeared when I woke up."

After Jiang Qingyan applied the medicine to Fu Miaoxi, he pulled her clothes and quilt in place, wrapped the little girl like a silkworm cocoon, and held her in his arms.

"I'll get it back for you. Take the medicine, drink some water, and then have a good sleep."

Fu Miaoxi followed Jiang Qingyan's instructions and drank a large glass of medicine and then a large glass of water. Not long after, she felt sleepy and fell asleep again under Jiang Qingyan's gaze.

Because Fu Miaoxi was a little nervous, Pei Yunjing added some sedatives to the antipyretic medicine he prescribed for her. She easily felt sleepy after drinking it, and Jiang Qingyan was also aware of this.

After Fu Miaoxi fell asleep, Jiang Qingyan checked the temperature and humidity in the room, turned off the lights, and tiptoed out.

In Dongli Mansion, two bodyguards were standing outside Jiang Qingyan's room, a rare sight.

In fact, in terms of security intensity, the security measures and personnel of Dongli Mansion can be said to be complete. It was just that in order to reduce the impact on Jiang Qingyan's daily life, they were all deployed around the mansion.

This is the first time that personnel have been deployed directly inside the mansion.

"I'm going out for a while, you stay here." Jiang Qingyan put his hand on the door and said, "Qiwu, your priority right now is to protect her."

The man standing beside nodded: "I understand, boss."

Jiang Qingyan went out late at night. On the one hand, he went to the company to sign some documents. On the other hand, he also planned to greet the mastermind and accomplices who planned the kidnapping of Fu Miaoxi.

Unexpectedly, less than two hours after he left, Fu Miaoxi woke up.

She slept very well during the day, and once the effect of the sedative wore off, she woke up.

Seeing that the room was pitch black, she subconsciously felt around her, but found that she was the only one there.

"Uncle?" Fu Miaoxi rubbed her eyes and checked around to find that Jiang Qingyan was really not there.

Fu Miaoxi's cell phone was not with her. She got out of bed and turned on the light, only to find that it was already twelve o'clock in the morning.

Sometimes at this time, Jiang Qingyan was still working in the study. Fu Miaoxi calmed down and prepared to go find someone.

This was Fu Miaoxi's subconscious reaction. She hadn't realized how much she wanted to cling to Jiang Qingyan. In the past, she would probably just lie down on the bed.

"Miss Fu, are you awake?"

Just then, someone knocked on the door, and a young male voice that Fu Miaoxi had never heard of before sounded, startling her.

"Who?!"

The voice outside the door paused: "I am the person left by President Jiang to protect you. He is not in the mansion now. Miss, if you need anything, you can tell me directly."

Fu Miaoxi wrapped herself in a blanket and carefully opened the door. Sure enough, she saw two door gods standing outside.

Fu Miaoxi was a little confused when she saw that it wasn't the familiar Li Zhen and Chen Jue. "Where's Assistant Li?"

Jiang Qiwu tried hard to squeeze out a bit of kindness on his cold face, not wanting to scare the fragile little girl. "Miss, Assistant Li and Secretary Chen are not bodyguards. Your safety needs special attention recently, so President Jiang transferred me back."

"Where's my uncle?"

"Mr. Jiang is out taking care of something. If you need anything, I'll call him."

Fu Miaoxi shook her head: "No, thank you."

Jiang Qiwu saw that although Fu Miaoxi covered herself tightly, she was still pale and looked like she would fall down if the wind blew. "Miss, why don't you go back and rest?"

Fu Miaoxi hesitated and did not take a step.

"what happened?"

"I want to go downstairs and wait for my uncle."

"Miss!" Jiang Qiwu disagreed: "You are not well yet."

Fu Miaoxi blinked and said, "I'm hungry. Can we go to the restaurant downstairs to eat something?"

Jiang Qiwu thought for a moment and said, "Miss, change into some thick clothes and go downstairs to eat. I'll go downstairs and prepare first."

Fu Miaoxi went back to her room to change clothes. Jiang Qiwu took people downstairs and went to the kitchen to bring Fu Miaoxi the porridge prepared.

"How could the boss be so attracted to such a little girl? It's like she's still breastfeeding." The man in a suit following Jiang Qiwu complained, "The boss just left and she's already clamoring to see him."

Jiang Qiwu glanced at him coldly: "Be careful with your words. You are talking nonsense about that young lady. Do you think your life is too long?"

"Boss, do you think a little girl like this can become the head of the Jiang family in the future?"

Jiang Qiwu stopped and said, "I just brought you back, and there are some rules that I haven't explained to you clearly. Please don't discuss the boss's private affairs."

He turned around, a hint of murderous intent emanating from him, the intimidation of someone who had truly seen bloodshed. "J City is a treacherous place, and the dangers are only increasing, not decreasing, compared to the dragon's den and tiger's lair before. This young lady is even more important than before."

"If you can't tell the difference between the two and treat her with contempt, you'd better go back."

"Yes, yes." The man in a suit next to him was frightened by Jiang Qiwu and broke out in a cold sweat, and responded hurriedly.
