After Miss Lu became the only one to enjoy the limelight, her six brothers knelt down and begged for

Ji Chiqian coughed a few times, then finally looked up and said, "Contact me anytime if anything happens. I'll be back soon."

Ji Chiqian left the hospital ward, and as for Lu Ning, he himself had no way of answering.

Ji Mo looked at the man's back; his once upright back was now a mess.

Ji Mo rubbed his face, wondering how it had turned out like this.

Ji Chiqian arrived at the apartment building by car. He looked up at the floor where Lu Ning lived, but no lights were on.

He took out his phone, hesitated for a long time, and then dialed Lu Ning's number.

Those few seconds felt incredibly long to Ji Chiqian.

The moment the call connected, Ji Chiqian's heart jumped, and his heartbeat quickened considerably.

Neither of the two people on the phone spoke; they could only faintly hear each other breathing.

Lu Ning gripped her phone tightly, waiting for a long time, but there was no sound from the other end of the line.

Her eyes stung with tears, and she couldn't help but cough.

Ji Chiqian heard her cough and felt a pang of heartache: "Why don't you go to the hospital if you're sick?"

Lu Ning covered her mouth, her voice hoarse: "Will going to the hospital make it better?"

How can she heal the wounds in her heart?

Ji Chiqian paused for a moment, then said, "I'll have someone take you to the hospital."

"Don't go."

Lu Ning's tone was stubborn. He didn't even dare to come and see her?

The man rubbed his temples: "Be good."

"What right do you have to order me around?"

Lu Ning's voice was filled with anger, but the person on the other end of the phone remained silent, so she hung up the phone in frustration.

She pulled the blanket over her head, and heard the phone ringing in her ear, but she didn't answer.

Ji Chiqian looked at the unanswered phone and couldn't help but sigh.

He looked at his secretary and said, "Arrange for the family doctor to go up."

"Aren't you going up?"

Ji Chiqian revealed a bleak expression. How could he possibly have the face to see her now?

He dare not.

The secretary didn't wait for a reply and went upstairs with the family doctor.

Ji Chiqian looked at his phone and sent a message to Lu Ning: "Open the door."

After hearing the news, Lu Ning waited for a while, curious about what message Ji Chiqian would send her.

She thought about it for a moment, then picked up her phone and saw two words he had sent: "Open the door."

Has he arrived?

At that moment, Lu Ning heard a sound coming from outside the door.

Lu Ning sat up. Didn't Ji Chiqian know the password?

Lu Ning put on a coat, went to open the door, and saw a doctor and Ji Chiqian's secretary standing outside.

She had met this secretary once before.

The secretary tentatively said, "Ms. Lu, Mr. Ji has arranged for a family doctor to come and take a look at you."

Lu Ning gave a sarcastic look: "Where is he?"

The secretary hesitated for a moment: "Mr. Ji has something to attend to."

Ha, Lu Ning simply closed the door.

Something came up?

Lu Ning would never believe such a lie.

A secretary's anxious voice came from outside the door: "Ms. Lu, let the doctor take a look first."

"Can't die."

Lu Ning retorted angrily, but then covered her mouth and coughed. She stormed back to her room, feeling dizzy with anger.

When the secretary saw that the door wasn't open, he quickly called Ji Chiqian: "Mr. Ji, Miss Lu didn't let us in."

Ji Chiqian sighed: "How does she look?"

"It doesn't look good. Why don't you come yourself?"

Ji Chiqian's Adam's apple bobbed slightly: "I'll tell you the password."

“Mr. Ji, if Miss Lu doesn’t cooperate, it won’t do us any good even if we go in.”

The secretary knew that the key to this matter lay with Ji Chiqian. When Miss Lu saw him earlier, there was a clear hint of disappointment in her eyes, though it wasn't obvious, he still noticed it.

Ji Chiqian rolled down the window and glanced at the sky outside.

He hesitated for a moment before calling Lu Ning, but the call was disconnected; she clearly hadn't answered.

Thinking of Lu Ning's stubbornness, Ji Chiqian finally got out of the car and took the elevator upstairs. The road, which he was usually very familiar with, felt exceptionally long to him at this moment.

When Ji Chiqian arrived at the door, the doctor and secretary were standing there.

After entering the apartment with his password, Ji Chiqian saw familiar surroundings and arrived at the door of the master bedroom.

He raised his hand, hesitated for a moment, and finally pushed the door open.

The bedroom curtains were drawn, making the room rather dimly lit.

There was a small bulge on the bed; you wouldn't even know someone was lying there unless you looked closely.

Ji Chiqian walked over helplessly, but didn't know how to start the conversation.

Lu Ning heard footsteps beside her, and she knew it was him.

But his footsteps stopped at the bedside, and then there was no more movement.

Lu Ning couldn't help but wonder, was he planning to stand here forever? She stubbornly refused to move, wanting to see how long he could stand there.

Lu Ning heard the man coughing, his voice strained and restrained.

She was instinctively worried when she heard this, but when she thought about what he had done, she told herself not to be so foolish.

However, after hearing this, Lu Ning couldn't help but start coughing.

A duet of coughs broke the silence of the bedroom.

Lu Ning couldn't help but get up, glaring at the man standing by the bed: "Cough cough cough, get out!"

Ji Chiqian sat on the edge of the bed and subconsciously reached out to touch her forehead.

Lu Ning slapped his hand away: "Don't touch me."

She was still very angry and turned her head away without even glancing at him.

Ji Chiqian looked at her angry profile with lingering affection and said gently, "Let the doctor take a look."

"I'm fine now, I don't need to see you. You can leave, I don't want to see you."

Lu Ning didn't even glance at him, but she knew she was just putting on a brave face.

A hint of pain flashed in Ji Chiqian's eyes, and he said with difficulty, "I'll leave after the doctor examines you."

Ji Chiqian stood up, preparing to let the doctor outside in.

Lu Ning turned to look at his retreating figure: "Ji Chiqian, aren't you going to explain yourself?"

She admitted that she had lost her composure.

She wanted to get to the bottom of it before she could give up.

Ji Chiqian's back froze, his hands slowly clenched, and finally he turned his head to the side: "After the doctor examines you, I will tell you whatever you want to know."

Lu Ning said sarcastically, "Even now, you're still using these things to threaten me?"

There was a cry in her voice.

Ji Chiqian turned around and saw that her tears were falling like beads from a broken string.

The man's heart also began to ache.

He went over to wipe away her tears, but Lu Ning resisted his approach.

Ji Chiqian withdrew his hand with difficulty: "If you're sick, how will you handle things with the Mo family?"

Lu Ning lowered her head, and everything in front of her blurred into a blur.

The doctor came in soon after.

After taking her temperature, the doctor looked somewhat troubled: "Your temperature has risen again. Ms. Lu, did you take any fever-reducing medication last night?"

Lu Ning nodded: "I felt much better when I woke up this morning. But now I'm a little dizzy again."

"That means it's recurring. If you want to get better sooner, you'll have to get an IV drip."

"Then let's get an IV drip."

Lu Ning wanted to recover as soon as possible, after all, the war with the Mo family had only just begun, and she didn't know what extreme things they might do.

Lu Ning stretched out her hand, and the doctor skillfully hung up the IV drip.

The doctor placed the medicine beside him: "Three times a day, the fever should break by tomorrow at the latest."

Lu Ning nodded, but didn't say much; she really wasn't in the mood right now.

The doctor and his secretary left, and the bedroom became very quiet.

Ji Chiqian came to her side. He looked at her slender hands, which at this moment controlled everything about him.

He asked with difficulty, "What do you want to ask?"
