Priceless Baby's Super Daddy

Chapter 2740: Love Comes Like The Southern Breeze (258)

Just as he was making wild guesses, Auntie Jiang came into the house and observed his condition. “Young Master, you’re finally awake! You almost scared me to death!”

“Auntie Jiang, why am I…”

He wanted to ask how he got back to the bedroom.

“It was Young Madam who asked someone to bring you in. When she found you, you were almost frozen.”

Feeling relieved to see that he had recovered well, Auntie Jiang asked, “Young Master, what happened last night? Why were you so cold?”

Auntie Jiang clearly remembered that Feng Yunan had come back with flowers in his hands and went upstairs to look for Qiao Ruoxi.

How did he end up out in the cold?

“…”

He couldn’t tell her, not even if he was beaten to death.

He could not tell Auntie Jiang that he had failed to climb over the wall last night and was trapped, almost freezing to death.

If they knew, his reputation would be ruined.

When he heard that it was Qiao Ruoxi who had asked someone to bring him in, his heart was filled with hatred. Since she had done that, wouldn’t everyone know that he was frozen?

Everything was ruined. Everything was ruined in Qiao Ruoxi’s hands.

The thought of that woman made his teeth itch. If she hadn’t gone against him last night, would he have ended up in such a miserable state?

“Where’s that woman?” Feng Yunan asked furiously with a frown.

“Are you talking about Young Madam? She went to work,” Auntie Jiang replied.

“I’m already like this, why is she still going to work?”

Feng Yunan felt that the woman was unreasonable. Didn’t she see that he was almost frozen to death?

She actually ignored him and was still in the mood to go to work.

“Then… you mean…”

Auntie Jiang could not understand Feng Yunan’s thoughts. He usually did not want to see Qiao Ruoxi. Why was he complaining that she was not by his side to serve him today?

“Tell that woman that I’m very serious. Tell her to come back immediately!”

“Oh, I’ll call her right now.”

Auntie Jiang took out her phone and quickly called Qiao Ruoxi. After the call went through, Auntie Jiang said, “Hey… Hey, that’s right, it’s me… Yes, it’s because of our young master… Yes, he’s very serious…”

In order to match Auntie Jiang’s words and highlight his “serious” condition, Feng Yunan coughed with all his might. His voice was so loud that it could be clearly heard through the microphone.

Qiao Ruoxi heard him coughing like he was suffering from pneumonia. She asked Auntie Jiang, “Since he’s so seriously ill, why don’t you get someone to send him to the hospital?”

Auntie Jiang covered the microphone and whispered, “Young Master, Young Madam wants you to go to the hospital.”

He pursed his lips and said with a sullen expression, “Tell her I don’t want to go to the hospital.”

“Young Madam, Young Master won’t go to the hospital… He definitely won’t go to the doctor… Why don’t you come back?” Auntie Jiang pleaded.

After ending the call, Auntie Jiang told Feng Yunan, “It’s done, Young Master! Young Madam said she’ll be back soon!”

“Okay, you can leave now!”

Feng Yunan could now lie in bed and wait for her to come back and serve him.

…

After more than an hour, Qiao Ruoxi returned to the Ocean Pavilion and changed her shoes. She met Auntie Jiang and asked, “Auntie Jiang, how is he?”

“Young Master is not well. You should go and see him. Maybe he will be fine once you come back.”

Auntie Jiang finally understood that her young master was pretending to be sick just to find an excuse to see Young Madam.

He was always so desperate to save his pride and would rather suffer. He liked her but didn’t say it directly. It took so much effort to beat around the bush.

Qiao Ruoxi went upstairs to the master bedroom.

The man, who had been playing the game like crazy, immediately threw the game console away when he heard the door lock move. He went to the bed and started getting into ill patient mode.

She pushed the door open and saw the man lying on the bed with his eyes closed. She walked up to him and scanned his face.

She noticed that he seemed much better than he was in the morning. She reached out to touch his forehead and realized that his temperature had returned to normal too, without any signs of a fever.

It didn’t look like he was sick!

Just as Qiao Ruoxi was about to withdraw her hand, she was suddenly grabbed by the man. She cried out in shock, “Ah!”

She raised her head and met a pair of malicious eyes. Qiao Ruoxi felt like she had been deceived. She questioned him, “You’re not sick, are you? You deliberately tricked me to come back!”

She could tell that he wanted her to come back and accompany him.

“Who said I’m not sick?”

Feng Yunan began to cough again. If one listened carefully, they would be able to tell that his cough was not sincere. They would know that he was acting.

Qiao Ruoxi got up from his chest and let out a deep breath. “Fine, I’m back now. What do you want?”

“My head is a little hot,” Feng Yunan said. He was not good at acting, and acting as a patient was really a test.

Qiao Ruoxi reached over and placed the back of her hand on his head. “You shouldn’t be running a fever.”

“I’m not running a fever just because you say so?” Feng Yunan asked as he grabbed her wrist. “You have to take my temperature at least once.”

“Fine! Just you wait!”

Since he did not believe her, Qiao Ruoxi had no choice but to find a thermometer and place it under his armpit. She would explain everything with the thermometer later.

About five or six minutes later, Qiao Ruoxi took out the thermometer from under the man’s armpit and looked at the light. “37.2 degrees. There’s no fever. Do you want to take a look yourself?”

Feng Yunan did not look at it, but he would not let Qiao Ruoxi stay idle. “But I’m still not feeling well.”

“You’ve been freezing outside the whole night. It’s normal for you to catch a cold. Take some flu medicine and rest more. You’ll be fine. I’ll go get you some water.”

Qiao Ruoxi poured him a glass of water and fed him some flu medicine.

“By the way, Mr. Feng, why did you appear on the balcony outside my room last night?” Qiao Ruoxi asked. She had not figured out how he got up there for a long time. Why did he climb onto the balcony when there was a door?

“Because you didn’t want to open the door!”

Feng Yunan’s face was sullen. Whenever he thought of how she had not opened the door when he knocked last night, he could not help but feel angry.

She was the one who had caused him to freeze overnight!

“I put on my headphones last night and didn’t hear you knocking,” Qiao Ruoxi explained.

“Don’t wear headphones when you sleep next time.”

“Oh.”

Qiao Ruoxi nodded and glanced at the man on the bed with her bright eyes. Other than his pale face, he seemed to be in good spirits. It was just a cold, so he should be fine.

They spoke normally again as if they had never quarreled before. Feng Yunan did not apologize and Qiao Ruoxi did not mention it again. The conflict between the two of them was resolved just like that.

“Mr. Feng, now that your fever has subsided and you’ve taken the medicine, can I go back to work?”

Qiao Ruoxi had been summoned back from work and was still thinking about her job at the flagship store.

“I’ll give you a day off today.”

Feng Yunan was very “generous”. Qiao Ruoxi really did not want to be indebted to him. She still preferred to go back to work than stay by his side.
