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

Ji Chiqian knew that once he left, he would never be able to come back.

Lu Ning noticed the man's expression, but she lowered her eyes and didn't look at him.

One stared longingly, while the other stubbornly bowed its head.

The two remained locked in a stalemate, neither willing to back down.

Ji Chiqian felt a ticklish sensation in his throat. Not wanting to appear weak in front of Lu Ning, he stood up, turned around, and left.

When Lu Ning saw the person who suddenly turned and left, the light in her eyes dimmed considerably.

Sure enough, when she refused to comply with his wishes, he left.

Now Ji Chiqian no longer needs to pretend in front of her, nor does he need to act anymore.

Lu Ning's lips twitched in a self-deprecating manner.

You stinky man, I never want to see you again in this lifetime.

Outside, Ji Chiqian rushed into the apartment in a panic, not even having time to put on his shoes.

He coughed violently for a long time, then curled up against the door.

Ji Chiqian sat disheveled at the doorway, looking back at the gate with droopy eyelids and a dejected look, like a lost dog.

Not long after, the elevator doors opened, and a cleaning lady came out to do cleaning.

The cleaning lady was startled when she saw a big man sitting at the door.

After the cleaning lady finished cleaning, she cautiously walked over and asked, "Sir?"

But the man seemed not to hear, sitting motionless at the door, his profile looking somewhat gloomy, not at all like an approachable person.

After the cleaning lady took the elevator down, she immediately reported the situation to the property manager: "There's a big man sitting at the door on the 16th floor of Building 3. He won't answer when we ask him anything, and he seems like someone who's not easy to mess with. Could he be harassing the residents?"

Property manager: "I'll call the homeowner and ask."

After all, their apartment complex is a high-end community, so if there are any safety issues, it would be the property management's responsibility.

Soon, Lu Ning was woken up by a phone call.

She glanced at the phone number; it was from an unknown number.

She answered the phone, and a middle-aged man's voice came from the other end: "Hello, Ms. Lu Ning, this is the property management of the community."

"Well, what's up?"

"Here's the thing, the cleaning lady saw a man sitting in front of your door. Is he someone you know? If he's harassing you, I'll have security come up right away."

Lu Ning was a little confused. Was there someone else at the door?

Could it be Ji Chiqian?

Not quite right.

Lu Ning asked, somewhat puzzled, "What clothes are you wearing?"

"Black shirt, black pants, he doesn't look like a good person at all."

Lu Ning paused for a moment. Ji Chiqian was wearing all black when he came in. What kind of expression did this man have that made the cleaning lady think he wasn't a good person?

This man has a handsome face; he could be mistaken for a good person just by looking at him.

Lu Ning said, "I'll go take a look."

She couldn't be 100% sure it was Ji Chiqian.

Lu Ning opened the door and, sure enough, saw the man sitting on the floor, his long legs casually placed on the ground, completely blocking her doorway.

It really was Ji Chiqian.

He's still here?

Lu Ning asked, "Ji Chiqian, what are you doing outside?"

He knew the apartment's password, so there was no need for him to sit outside.

But Ji Chiqian remained motionless, as if he hadn't heard anything.

Lu Ning bent down and saw that he had his eyes closed and looked like he was asleep, but she could tell that Ji Chiqian's expression was not right.

She reached out and touched his forehead; it was very hot.

Is this person also sick?

At that moment, the property manager arrived with some people: "Ms. Lu, do you need any help?"

“He’s someone I know, please help carry him in.”

Lu Ning couldn't bear to see Ji Chiqian lying outside. This guy was really something; there were so many people around him, yet he was sitting alone at her door.

Was he deliberately feigning helplessness?

When the manager got closer, he saw that the man was very handsome and dressed like a wealthy person.

This is probably just a young couple having a fight.

I think I've seen this handsome man in the neighborhood before.

The manager and security guards helped Ji Chiqian to the sofa.

Lu Ning said, "Thank you, thank you for your trouble."

The manager and his security guards left.

Lu Ning looked at the man lying on the sofa: "Where are your people? Where did they all go?"

In the morning, Chen Yu told her that Ji Chiqian was not coming because he was sick, and at that time, she thought it was just an excuse.

But unexpectedly, he was actually sick.

It seems the flu is really rampant after the weather change; she must have been infected by him.

Lu Ning stared at Ji Chiqian for a long time, but he didn't make a move.

Lu Ning touched his pocket and felt that the man's body was very hot.

She took out Ji Chiqian's phone, unlocked it, and opened the contacts.

She knew Ji Chiqian's phone password and that he always had a secretary with him.

One secretary is in charge of personal life, and another secretary is in charge of work.

The secretary who brought the doctor to see her just now is the one in charge of her personal life.

The call was answered immediately: "Mr. Ji, is there anything we can do for you?"

"We need you to come up and take him away."

Upon hearing Lu Ning's voice on the other end of the phone, the secretary hesitated for a moment: "What's wrong, sir?"

"he is sick."

Lu Ning hung up the phone after speaking, not wanting to waste any more words.

Soon, the secretary knocked on the door.

Lu Ning walked over and opened the door, and sure enough, the secretary arrived with the doctor.

She took a step back: "He's over there."

The secretary quickly led the doctor over, and sure enough, Ji Chiqian looked unwell. The doctor touched his forehead and immediately said, "Mr. Ji has a fever."

Lu Ning said, "Take him away."

After she finished speaking, she went back to the master bedroom, not wanting to see the man outside.

Lu Ning tossed and turned in bed for a long time. She saw the empty bottle hanging on the headboard. The man had stayed by her side until her IV drip was finished before leaving.

She thought about how he had lied to her, and she still felt uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Ji Chiqian didn't mention the matter between the Ji family and the Mo family just now, otherwise she would have been even angrier.

She would not compromise on the matter of her parents' death.

Lu Ning heard the sound of a door closing outside. Had they left?

Lu Ning slept for too long and can't fall asleep now.

She got up and went to the living room, only to see a man lying on the sofa with an IV drip in his hand.

Haven't left yet?

Lu Ning took his phone and immediately called his secretary, but no one answered.

hateful.

Lu Ning called another secretary, but still no one answered.

How is this going?

When she called just now, the other end answered instantly.

Are they all refusing to answer the phone now?

At this moment, she thought about calling Gu Zifeng, and he answered immediately: "What is it? I'm busy."

Lu Ning asked, "Are you very busy?"

"Why is it you?"

Gu Zifeng thought it was Ji Chiqian calling, but it turned out to be Lu Ning.

Lu Ning said sullenly, "Why isn't Ji Chiqian's secretary answering the phone?"

"This is indeed outrageous, but is Ji Chiqian with you?"

"Yes, he's sick and is getting an IV drip on the sofa. Wouldn't it be better if he went to the hospital?"

Gu Zifeng immediately understood what he meant and quickly said, "I'll come over as soon as I'm done here."

Lu Ning had no choice but to hang up the phone.

She looked at the man lying on the sofa, and finally went to the bedroom to get a blanket and put it on Ji Chiqian, so that he wouldn't get sick again later.

What a hassle!

She's a patient now.

Lu Ning really didn't want to care about Ji Chiqian, but he had been watching over her the whole time.

She made a decision; this would be the last time.

She brought over a thick blanket and sat down on the carpet next to the sofa. She set an alarm clock, afraid that she would oversleep.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Ji Chiqian woke up and looked at the ceiling of the living room, only then realizing where he was.

He remembered leaving the apartment.

He turned his head and saw Lu Ning lying next to him, and for a moment his chest felt filled with something.

He couldn't resist lowering his head to kiss Lu Ning's forehead.

The alarm clock rang at that moment, and Lu Ning subconsciously looked up, bumping right into Ji Chiqian's chin.

Both of them let out a muffled groan.
