"No need." Su Qinglan feebly blocked away his hand that was coming to pull her, her brow furrowed, "I've already taken the medicine, I just want to get a good night's sleep."

She rolled over and rolled herself under the covers even though she was hot as hell, avoiding being across from Gu Jin Chi.

"You don't need to worry about the matter of Ren Lord and the side of Fu Chun Yuan, in the future, remember to distance yourself from that man, he is very dangerous."

That's dangerous opposition.

How fierce is the business competition in Suizhou, it's not a bloodless secret fight, but a bloody and vicious open competition.

The kind of people who will do anything for power and business.

If one day Su Qinglan was really being held hostage to blackmail him, perhaps he would also agree to anything in the heat of the moment.

"Don't worry, I'll protect myself from you." She replied in a muffled voice as she buried her face in the covers.

"I don't feel comfortable with you like this." Gu Jinchi sat down on the edge of the bed, lowering his eyebrows and gently stroking her somewhat hot head.

"I've got the doctor and he'll be here in a few minutes, so you don't have to leave."

It's fine how it is, this kind of thing doesn't matter at all.

It was too much of a coincidence that Gu Jinchi hadn't come back even when they almost had an accident, but rushed back this time when it was discovered that she was having an affair with Ren Lord.

I don't think he knew about her illness until he came back.

"Aren't you busy at work, how come you have time to come back?" She couldn't help but ask as she felt the gentle movements.

Gu Jinchi's hand movements lurched, somewhat helpless, "You really are still angry."

"I am sorry, I also have some body after coming back, this time I came back actually ... the old man hopes that you can go over to the trip."

"But for now, it's better to wait until you're better, or if you don't want to go."

Su Qinglan's body moved and turned her head to look at him with a red face on top, "I'll go, but this situation ... now."

Go, why don't you go.

That was, after all, Gu Jinchi's family, a relationship that could not be discarded in blood or in any other way.

She needed that recognition, not for her status as the Gu family's young lady, but for his status as Gu Jinchi's wife.

An unblessed relationship is one that is not supported.

She didn't want even Gu Yi Ze to bear the burden of her mother's unknown origin argument, so the Gu family's acknowledgement was something she had to have.

And as for the reason for something like the old man suddenly wanting to see her, she didn't have the energy to think about it.

But for that kind of person to be able to compromise, apart from what Gu Jinchi had done, he must be playing some kind of game.

Soldiers come and go, water comes and goes.

"There's no need to rush, his lifespan can still wait for you, don't worry." Gu Jinchi gently rubbed her two more times before withdrawing his hand.

Su Qinglan was somewhat unable to laugh at such a joke.

"Where's Gu Lan?" She didn't have the strength to open her eyes, so she simply closed them and shushed the question.

"It's already been transferred to a sanatorium, don't worry." Gu Jinchi answered truthfully.

As she squinted her eyes, she noticed the bandages showing in Gu Jinchi's cuffs.

That night probably Gu Jinchi's arm was also badly injured.

"Keep an eye on your wounds for the next two days, burns can easily become inflamed in this heat."

She whispered a reminder, and even though her heart was a little twisted, she couldn't help herself from wanting to care for Gu Jinchi.

Soon the doctor arrived and hooked her up directly to the drops for the infusion.

"I just did a blood test on the lady, and the white blood cells in her body have grown a lot, so it should be an acute high fever caused by infection or inflammation."

"In a case like this, medication won't provide relief, only fluids."

Only after hearing the doctor's judgment did Gu Jinchi let out a sigh of relief.

It's a good thing I didn't listen to her and just told her to take her medicine and go to bed, or what if she burned herself silly?

"Alright, the needles have been put in too, so you can go out too, I want to sleep."

The cool liquid rushed through the needle along with the blood throughout her body, making her feel lighter mentally.

This relaxation made her head sink even more, and she couldn't help but close her eyes and doze off, drifting back under the covers.

Seeing this, Gu Jinchi didn't bother anymore and left the room with the doctor.

Just as he was about to look back home, the doctor suddenly warned cautiously, "Mr. Gu, there's something I'd like to remind you about madam."

"You say." Gu Jinchi's pace lurched, looking back at him with some confusion.

"That's right." The doctor paused in his tone, rearranging his language, "If Madame doesn't have any previous medical history, I would suggest that you go to the hospital for a physical examination."

"The blood tests, even on an acute basis, some of the cells doubled up too fast."

"So my advice is that it's better to go to the hospital for a physical as soon as possible if it's convenient."

Gu Jinchi's heart twisted into a knot, and after agreeing to do so, he instead went to the study.

By the time Su Qinglan woke up, it was nearly midnight.

The needle in her hand had been removed at some point, and thanks to it, she was in much better shape.

"Awake?" Gu Jinchi pushed through the door with a steaming bowl in his hand, just in time to see the scene of her getting out of bed with her hair draped over her head.

What the doctor had said this afternoon was still echoing in his mind, but his gut told him it was better to keep it to himself for now.

He stepped away from his long, slender legs and walked to the bed, half crouching down to place the porridge on the small table at the foot of the bed.

"You can't eat a lot of things right now, this is Aunt He's praised green vegetable congee, eat a little first to pad your stomach, otherwise you can't take the medicine."

He coaxed gently, as if he were coaxing a child.

Su Qinglan looked at the appetizing porridge and took a small sip.

When her afterglow noticed Gu Jinchi's clothes, she couldn't help but feel another pang of gloom under her heart.

Gu Jinchi had changed his clothes for going out, and it looked like he should be leaving again today.

"You're looking back home again?" She lowered her head, hiding her somewhat lost expression with her bangs.

I don't know if it was the emotions under the illness that did it, but she was surprisingly extra sensitive now, with a hint of aggravation.

She had always been in good health, and things like sickness rarely pestered her, and she didn't expect it to happen this time without warning.

"Uh-huh." Although he couldn't do right by her, Gu Jinchi still answered and didn't have any intention of lying.

"There's something else going on with the company, there's been a very important case lately, and taking him down will put the original stake back in his hands."

He had left the Gu family for a long time, and the share that had been left to him had been divided up with a lot of real power.

If he wanted to snatch the Gu family's assets back, he'd have to start with the ones in his own hands.

The person who had set his eyes on these things from early on was Gu Zhanyan.

Even when he went to Elder Gu, the beauty of it was that he was temporarily taking care of it for him.

This kind of thing, who needs it.

Hearing that it was related to his shares, Su Qinglan's heart was a little lost, but it was still swallowed in her stomach, along with the porridge.

The bowl of porridge had reached the bottom, and without realizing it she had finished it, she just didn't remember much about the taste of the porridge in the bowl.

Perhaps it was because her sense of taste was compromised now that she was sick, or perhaps, she had something on her mind.

"Then be careful and don't get hurt again." She put the bowl down, her eyes falling dead center on Gu Jinchi's arm.

Gu Jinchi also noticed.

He agreed in a hushed voice, taking the still-hot person right into his arms, "I'm sorry, I'll be sure to spend time with you when I'm done with these tricky things."

"Uh-huh." She agreed, her voice still a little muffled, tears already beginning to form in her eyes.

Can't cry.

She admonished herself and wrapped her arms around Gu Jinchi's waist.

It was unknown how long it took before Gu Jinchi left from the night.

After sending Gu Jinchi away, Su Qinglan stood in the courtyard, feeling the breeze coming from all directions, and sighed softly.

It had gotten much better, but her head was still vaguely dizzy.

"Young Lady, you're just a little bit better, you can't be out in the wind!" Aunt He noticed her when she came to close the door and rushed over.

Aunt He was about to help her when she only felt a trance in her mind and the scenery in front of her eyes followed.

Almost, Aunt He almost didn't catch the body that almost fell in the breeze.

"I'll quickly help you back first, otherwise what should I do if this gets heavier." Aunt He muttered, helping Su Qinglan back into bed.

As she lay in bed, that vertigo still made her feel worthy of deep thought.

Just now it was like a sudden burst of ... almost fainting on the ground.

It was still feverish, but the body shouldn't be that fragile.

The cell phone on her bed rang and rang, and it took her a moment to find it and answer it.

Lord Ren has been coming and going with her too often lately.

But this time, the call was good news.

"I already know where Feng Qin and Milan are hiding now, just like you thought, they're living in a villa under Gu Chengfeng's name."

"But the connections on this side should have been made as well, and you shouldn't be able to solve them by calling the police."

"Tie them up, or just let them die in the villa, take your pick."

Hard to choose, she ...

"Keep them alive as long as you can, I still have things I want to say to them." Her head simply wouldn't allow herself to think about too many things right now.

She couldn't always take the blame for killing Mina at Feng Qin.

"Good, then you can get ready and bring Gu Jinchi here to me at some point." There was uncontrollable excitement in Ren Lord's voice.

But Su Qinglan ignored it.

Thinking about the letter Milan had given her earlier, if she could control the two of them before Elder Gu's birthday, she wouldn't have to worry about Gu Jinchi being exposed.

She was tired now, so tired that her eyes were a little open.

"Blu..."

"Blu..."

Who?

Who was calling her name.

A very gentle voice that felt familiar and unfamiliar to her was calling her name softly.

The darkness in front of her quickly grew brighter and a woman was walking towards her with her back to the light.

"Blue, you've suffered."

That was ... her mother.

Su Qinglan couldn't help but have a sore nose, couldn't carry the sleepiness, and fell into sleep without hanging up the phone.
