Chapter 793 - 774: Fever
If Qin Mobai hadn’t shown her that message earlier, Lin Qianqian would have certainly taken on this task.
But now that Qin Mobai knows she’s not really Lou Xi, how could she dare to accept this task?
When she wanted to refuse the task, claiming it was too daunting, she heard Qin Mobai say, "I’ve helped Lou Xi agree to it. She’s learning to manage household matters, so once she gains experience, she won’t be flustered when handling such tasks in the future."
What Qin Mobai said made sense, and Qin Sheng nodded in agreement.
Immediately, Qin Mobai turned his head towards Lou Xi and, with a somewhat ambiguous smile, asked, "Madam, don’t you think so?"
Hearing the word "Madam" now left Lin Qianqian feeling uneasy. Under Qin Mobai’s intimidating presence, she didn’t dare refuse.
She could only say, "Alright... I’ll be well-prepared, and I won’t let you down."
"Of course, you won’t disappoint. As long as Madam prepares it, I like everything," Qin Mobai’s eyes were gentle, but to Lin Qianqian, they were like sharp knives, killing silently.
She just wanted to know when this dinner would end; she couldn’t stay here any longer.
She glanced over at Xi Siwei once again, hoping he could help, but Xi Siwei didn’t catch her eye.
Or maybe he did, but Xi Siwei didn’t want to expose anything in this situation under Qin Mobai’s scrutiny.
Soon, Xi Siwei’s phone rang. He looked at the caller ID, his face slightly darkened, and while Qin Sheng was talking to Qin Mobai, he quietly left the dining room to take the call.
...
Suburban villa.
Sister Li looked at the feverish Lou Xi, completely at a loss for what to do. Xi Siwei had instructed not to let Lou Xi leave the house nor to allow any outsiders in.
But now Lou Xi was running a high fever, and even after taking fever-reducing medicine, it wasn’t getting better. Sister Li was worried for her life!
Sister Li could only run out of the villa to call Xi Siwei.
The entire villa’s signal was blocked, with no internet, and calls couldn’t come in or go out.
"Sir, Miss Lin has a fever, it’s reached 39.7 degrees. If this continues, I’m afraid it could turn into pneumonia! Shouldn’t we call in a doctor to check on her?"
"How did she get a fever? Is this how you care for people?" Xi Siwei’s voice was agitated, "And no hospital visits! Go to the pharmacy and buy her medicine, do some physical cooling."
"But Miss Lin said she wants to see you, can’t you come over..." The main thing is to bring a doctor along; otherwise Lou Xi surely won’t hold on!
Xi Siwei couldn’t leave at the moment; did he not want to rush over to see Lou Xi? Hearing that Lou Xi wanted to see him, this was what he had longed for!
"If anything happens to her, you’ll be the one I ask!" With that, Xi Siwei hung up the phone.
He angrily realized then that he wasn’t alone in the garden. Turning around, Xi Siwei noticed Shen Ruozhuo standing not far away.
"You startled me, when did you come out?"
"Who were you talking to? You seemed worried? Girlfriend?"
"Xi Siwei, since you’ve decided to marry me, you should cut ties with other women."
"Don’t you trust me?"
Trusting men is as futile as believing a sow can climb a tree.
