Quick Transmigration: The Charming Beauty Who Was Short-Lived and Alluring

Xiao Qi'an truly had no strength left. He knelt by the bedside, repeatedly ordering the maids to bring thick quilts and cover Chu Yun with them.

Chu Yun's complexion was still very bad, her lips were pale, and her eyes were closed. Xiao Qi'an stared at her without blinking, as if afraid that she would disappear at any moment. Even when Gu Wushang stepped forward, he did not move, as if he were a wooden or clay sculpture. He could do nothing but look at Chu Yun.

After examining Chu Yun's pulse, Gu Wushang said that she was fine and would recover after drinking a few bowls of fever-reducing medicine. As for Chu Yun's hidden illness, he kept it to himself and did not tell Xiao Qi'an. He thought that he should go to Gu Huaizhi as soon as possible and tell him about Chu Yun's condition.

Hearing Gu Wushang say this, Xiao Qi'an was finally relieved. However, he still stubbornly stayed by Chu Yun's side, completely ignoring the stinging pain in his legs. In the end, he was the one who pushed Chu Yun into this state, and only by sharing her pain could he feel at ease.

As darkness fell, the snow continued to fall. Warm yellow light cast shadows on Xiao Qi'an's face, the light and shadow constantly flickering, yet he remained motionless. In the blink of an eye, he had been guarding this place for nearly three hours.

Chu Yun had taken the medicine and sweated, so she should have woken up by now, but she showed no signs of waking up at all. Xiao Qi'an was anxious and sent people to invite Gu Wushang several times. In the end, he angered Gu Wushang, who pointed at Xiao Qi'an and scolded him for being mentally ill, saying that Chu Yun's refusal to wake up was because he had angered her.

The Medical Sage maintained his airs, giving Xiao Qi'an a good scolding before storming off. On his way back, he kept repeating that Xiao Qi'an had ill intentions and disturbed his peaceful sleep.

Xiao Qi'an, on the other hand, seemed to be possessed. After hearing Gu Wushang's words, he fell completely silent, no longer asking anyone to fetch a doctor to see Chu Yun, nor asking those around him every now and then why Chu Yun had not yet woken up.

According to the servants around him, the young master is worse off now than before when he kept asking questions and at least had some human presence. Now he looks like a puppet, which is quite frightening.

Miss Wen only had a fever, so why was the young master so worried? This thought had crossed the minds of everyone serving in the courtyard, but they dared not discuss it.

How could Xiao Qi'an not be afraid? Just thinking about how Chu Yun was in a coma because of him terrified him. He kept praying in his heart: "A-Yun, you must wake up. I will never scheme against you again."

Perhaps Chu Yun heard his plea, for Xiao Qi'an saw Chu Yun's eyelashes flutter, and soon she opened her eyes.

"Ah Yun, you're awake." Xiao Qi'an's hoarse voice revealed a hint of surprise. He stood up, supporting himself on the edge of the bed, blocking the light from above, and a shadow enveloped Chu Yun.

Chu Yun coughed twice, her voice weak, "What happened to me? Where am I?"

The weight of several quilts pressing down on her made her uncomfortable. She struggled to get up, but Xiao Qi'an stopped her. He pressed down on Chu Yun's hand, put the quilt that she had lifted a corner back in place, and his hoarse voice rang out, "You've caught a chill, don't move around."

Xiao Qi'an's words vaguely stirred up Chu Yun's memories. She put on a thoughtful expression and didn't notice that her posture with Xiao Qi'an was a little inappropriate - Xiao Qi'an's waist was pressed very low, only an inch away from the quilt on her body, and his palm was still on her shoulder because he was pressing the quilt.

An unsuspecting outsider would surely assume that Xiao Qi'an was firmly on top of Chu Yun, and given Xiao Qi'an's gentle and tender expression, they would inevitably have all sorts of wild thoughts.

Just then, an unsuspecting outsider barged in. It was a young girl who came in to deliver water. She let out a short exclamation, "Ah—" and quickly turned her back.

Chu Yun and Xiao Qi'an glanced at each other at the same time, then turned their gazes back together. Their eyes met, and they both saw shock in each other's eyes. Xiao Qi'an quickly straightened up, while Chu Yun pulled the blanket tighter around herself.

Xiao Qi'an stood with his hands behind his back by the bed and asked the trembling maid who had her back to him, "What are you doing in here?"

"I've come...to bring you water." The maid's voice was broken and incoherent.

Xiao Qi'an: "Bring the water over."

The young maid walked forward shakily. When she put down the water basin, she couldn't help but slip and almost spilled the water. Fortunately, she managed to steady the basin at the last moment, but it still made a clattering sound. Her legs went weak and she was about to kneel down when Xiao Qi'an stopped her, saying, "Go down quickly."

"Thank you, young master." The little maid almost cried, but she didn't forget to express her loyalty: "I didn't see anything just now."

The way he said that made Xiao Qi'an not want to let her go. He and Chu Yun were completely innocent, what could she possibly see?

After the annoying little girl left, the atmosphere in the room became noticeably awkward because of what she had said.

Xiao Qi'an didn't know how to face Chu Yun. His hands behind his back tightened involuntarily, and his thumb and forefinger rubbed together.

Upon seeing this, Chu Yun actually curled her lips slightly, "Are you planning to keep turning your back to me like this forever?"

The woman's voice carried a hint of amusement. Xiao Qi'an turned around and saw the smile on Chu Yun's face, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"Thank you for saving me today," Chu Yun said again.

Her gentle attitude made Xiao Qi'an feel like he was in a dream. He suddenly realized that Chu Yun was unaware of his secret schemes, so naturally she wouldn't treat him badly. Xiao Qi'an smiled and said, "You're welcome."

His smile caused Chu Yun to fall silent. After a long pause, she finally said, "I...I'm in a bad mood today, and I was rude to you...I'm sorry."

"It's alright, I don't mind, as long as you're more comfortable," Xiao Qi'an said softly, shaking his head.

"I haven't asked about your legs..." Chu Yun said again.

Seeing Chu Yun's gaze fall on his legs, Xiao Qi'an took a few steps in front of Chu Yun and said, "Because of the Xiaohan Flower, I can walk normally now."

Chu Yun's eyes softened with a gentle light. "That's wonderful!"

Xiao Qi'an naturally saw the surprise on Chu Yun's face because of him, and his heart softened. He naturally said the words that had been on his mind for a long time, "Miss Wen, I can finally walk now. I am willing to offer Xiao Yue Manor as my betrothal gift to you."

He saw Chu Yun's smile falter slightly, and her bright eyes instantly dimmed.

“Young Master, I never rejected your proposal because of your leg. If I truly love someone, I will respect and love them sincerely, no matter what they are like. It would be unfair to you if I agreed to your proposal.”

Although it was a rejection, Xiao Qi'an was not angry. On the contrary, his heart softened completely. Of course, he knew how sincere Chu Yun's feelings were, which was why he was desperately trying to win her favor. He looked at Chu Yun with increasingly tender eyes, and he was not discouraged when Chu Yun looked away from him.
