My reborn husband and son are thinking about how to kill me every day.

Ji Yunshuang found his nervous expression inexplicably amusing. "What are you so nervous about? You don't think I'm going to do anything to you, do you?"

Lu Yinheng's face burned even hotter, and he stammered, "How...how could this be? How could it be a misunderstanding?"

At that moment, he couldn't help but feel relieved; thankfully, the room was dimly lit...

"Why are you stuttering if there's no misunderstanding?" Ji Yunshuang leaned closer to him, looking at him and said, "Are you blushing?"

"How...how is this possible!" Lu Yinheng immediately took a step back, creating some distance between himself and her.

"I'm just a little hot..." As if to prove that he was really hot, he fanned himself a few times and said with certainty, "Yes, it's just too hot."

Ji Yunshuang glanced at the clothes he was wearing.

After taking Fu Weiyi to Doctor Rui, they found an opportunity to talk privately. At this moment, the two of them were still wearing the wet clothes they had worn when they fell into the river.

The weather has already turned cool, and the temperature is even lower at night, so how could it still be hot!

"You don't have a fever, do you?" She took a step toward Lu Yinheng, placed her hand on his forehead, then touched her own forehead and muttered to herself, "It seems like my temperature is a little high."

Lu Yinheng stood there, stunned, his mind a complete blank. All his senses seemed to be focused on the places Ji Yunshuang had touched.

His hands were soft and smooth, like the finest mutton-fat jade...

His heart started pounding uncontrollably again.

He suddenly began to doubt himself. Could he really have a heart condition? Otherwise, why would his heart be beating so fast?

Do you feel a headache or dizziness?

Ji Yunshuang's words brought him back to reality. Meeting Ji Yunshuang's concerned gaze, he subconsciously wanted to nod.

He inexplicably hoped that the man's gaze would remain fixed on him, that he would continue to pay attention to him...

But remembering the lesson he had just learned, he shook his head and said, "No."

"No? But your condition is clearly not right." Ji Yunshuang moved closer to him and examined him carefully.

Lu Yinheng subconsciously wanted to back away, but when he lifted his foot, he realized that he had unknowingly reached the corner of the wall and now had nowhere left to retreat.

Her approach made his heart beat faster and faster, his cheeks burn hotter and hotter, and beads of sweat seemed to appear on his forehead.

He even wondered if she knew his feelings for her and was deliberately teasing him to see him make a fool of himself.

But when he met her clear, pure eyes, and thought about her usual words and actions, he knew that she had no idea what he was thinking.

It's even less likely that he would deliberately tease him or try to make him look foolish.

In her eyes, there was only her career; her thoughts were solely focused on the fate of the nation. She was not an emperor, but she cared about this land more than anyone else, and all her energy was devoted to it.

His concern for himself today certainly has nothing to do with love. She's simply acting based on his abilities, feeling that his illness will affect his future actions.

After figuring it out, Lu Yinheng couldn't help but feel frustrated.

In her eyes, he might not even be considered a man, but simply a useful subordinate.

He thought to himself with a self-deprecating smile, "What's there to be nervous about?"

Even though he clearly understood why she cared about him, he still couldn't help but hope. He hoped her gaze would linger on him a little longer...

Lu Yinheng never dreamed that one day he would so humbly hope for a woman's pity.

His mind was in turmoil, and suddenly he felt an urge to tell her right now, to tell her how he felt about her, and to ask her if she would accept him.

Ji Yunshuang had no idea that Lu Yinheng was thinking so much. At this moment, she really wanted to use her telekinesis to knock him unconscious, take him into her space, and use an instrument to take an X-ray of him.

This way you can clearly see if his bones are injured.

And it's fast.

But he's more perceptive than others; falling off the cliff was one thing, but suddenly knocking him unconscious like this might arouse his suspicion.

He's smart, and we've spent a lot of time together, so it's possible he'll eventually figure out my secret.

She didn't want to expose her secret.

So she said, "Lie down, and I'll check you to see if any of your bones are injured. If they aren't, you can come with me to Jingzhou."

Lu Yinheng thought to himself, "She cares about me because of Jingzhou. If it weren't for the plague outbreak in Jingzhou and the urgent need for manpower, she definitely wouldn't care about me so much."

At that moment, a strange sense of relief welled up inside him. Luckily, he was someone she found easy to use; otherwise, she probably wouldn't have even given him a second glance.

He obediently lay down on the soft couch, feeling a strange sense of sorrow in his heart.

Ji Yunshuang keenly sensed that he was unhappy.

she:"……"

Why am I suddenly unhappy?

Are men's emotions as unpredictable as the weather in June?

She shook her head, clearing the jumbled thoughts from her mind, and began to examine Lu Yinheng's body.

To get a better view, she lit a few more oil lamps and reached out to remove his clothes. "I'm taking off his clothes so I can examine his body more clearly and see if there are any injuries. Don't feel guilty."

Although he knew all along that he was just a subordinate in her eyes, and that she was taking off her clothes to check his body, Lu Yinheng still felt inexplicably embarrassed.

He closed his eyes, avoiding looking at Ji Yunshuang, and softly hummed in agreement.

Ji Yunshuang looked at him with his eyes closed, seemingly trying his best to endure, and a strange feeling arose in her heart.

Why does it seem like she's molesting her subordinates?

She was startled when the thought popped into her head. Why would such a strange idea come to her mind while she was getting a proper medical checkup?

It must be because of this old-fashioned man. It was just a normal physical exam, but he acted like this, which made me start overthinking.

but……

Her gaze fell on his handsome face, then slid down his chest muscles to his firm abs.

With his good looks and great physique, he certainly has the looks to tempt people into committing crimes.

Lu Yinheng closed his eyes and silently warned himself not to let his mind wander.

But closing his eyes actually makes his other senses more acute.

He could feel Ji Yunshuang's gaze lingering on him. This made his heart, which had finally calmed down, start to stir uncontrollably again.

Fortunately, she didn't look at it for long before starting the next step of the examination.

He had thought that things would be fine once she started the examination. Little did he know, this was just the beginning.

When her hand touched his skin, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

His eyelashes trembled, and he finally opened his eyes uncontrollably.
