Chapter 32: 32

He is Back

After one hour…

Headlights could be seen shining outside the mansion. Chi Zuxu had finally returned.

By the time he saw her, she was fast asleep, wrapped in the quilt, on the sofa. The flu medication had made her drowsy.

He kept his footsteps light when he cut across the hallway, toward Aunty Chen. His voice dropped to a whisper as he asked about her condition. “How’s her condition? Has the doctor come to see her?”

“He did and prescribed her some drugs for the fever. The doctor also said that if her fever doesn’t subside by tomorrow, then it would be best to take an injection.”

“How did she end up in this state? She was still jumping about happily this afternoon.”

“I’m not sure. She was fine when I last saw her, but by the time she had her bath, she ended up in such a state.” The housekeeper looked puzzled as well.

He mulled for a while before nodding his head in understanding. “You go ahead to take a rest. I’ll look after her.”

“Understood. You have a good rest, too.”

She retreated from the hall and returned to her bedroom.

He drew close to the sofa and bent over to take a good look at the girl covered with the quilt.

Her eyes were shut. There was a slight glow refracted by her long, curly eyelashes that draped below her covered orbs. She still looked cherubic, except that the color had drained from her two lips, much like her little prolific face.

She was also covered in cold perspiration.

The perspiration wet her long fringe and looked messy on the forehead of her pale-looking face, showing a rather pitiful sight.

“How did you fall sick all of a sudden?”

He mumbled to himself under his breath as he heart-wrenchingly soothed her fringe.

He pulled aside the quilt that was covering her and was about to carry her upstairs to her bedroom when he got a shock as he took a good look at her.

She was stark naked under the quilt!

He flipped the quilt over her again at the next second.

This was thoroughly unexpected.

With his face sinking, he hastily removed his outer coat, wrapped it around her little torso under the quilt, before taking off the blanket and carried her up from the sofa.

The girl awoke from her stupor the moment she was in his arms.

As she opened her eyes, the first thing she caught sight of was his broad chest that had always charmed her. Slowly, her gaze moved upward to his sexy chin and then his eyes as he dipped his head to look at her.

His eyes were pensive, as if wanting to devour her, when she locked gazes with him.

“Don’t fall asleep without wearing clothes in the future, especially when you are at the hall…” he reminded her in his deep voice.

That earlier scene that caught him by surprise was still replaying vividly in his mind even though it was only for a fleeting second.

“When did you come back?”

She did not seem to hear him and only asked a question in return with a smile.

“I just reached home.”

“…” She paused for a moment, and then plastered her head greedily next to his chest again, wanting to taste his warmth that granted so much peace to her.

As long as he’s back!

She had much to tell him and to ask him as well. But in the end, nothing came out of her lips.

Chi Zuxu brought her back to her bed and covered her with the quilt. “Have a good sleep tonight. Your fever will subside tomorrow.”

“… Okay.”

She nodded obediently, burying her entire head inside the quilt, with only her two sparkling eyes looking probingly at him.

“Goodnight, my child.” He patted her little forehead.

“Goodnight…” She could not bear to see him go.
