Drunk on Marriage, Billionaire's Overindulgent Love-Chapter 665 - 275. [The Summer of Dew] Seeing the man’s lips about to press down... _3

It could be due to catching a cold, but it can’t be ruled out that it’s because of too little sleep, and the buzzing sound in her head is due to her disrupted biological clock.

Even if Gu Shaozhi is angry, he knows nothing is more important than her health.

The accounts can be settled next time.

Gu Shaozhi suppressed his temper, started the car, and turned on the heater.

While driving, he would occasionally glance at Wanxia in the passenger seat, who looked drowsy as if she would bump into the car window at any moment.

Helpless yet with heartache, he asked in a warm voice, "Why are you so tired? Did I wake you up when I went back to the bedroom last night?"

Hearing the man’s question, Wanxia became a bit more alert. She curved her lips with a slight smile, "No, many people feel spring fatigue and autumn lethargy, especially someone like me who does nothing but idles around."

Just endure a little longer, and it’ll be fine.

This reason, Gu Shaozhi couldn’t find any fault with.

Worried that Wanxia might fall asleep in the car, he started a conversation with her. "What’s up with Lin Chu? Is she in such a hurry to see you to arrange some last wishes?"

Upon hearing this, Wanxia frowned and glared at him with displeasure, "Gu Shaozhi, what are you saying? What do you mean by ’arrange last wishes’?"

In her current physical state, even when she glares, it lacks momentum, looking rather more adorable.

Gu Shaozhi smirked, and his large hand reached over to pinch her cheek. She was getting thinner, with barely any flesh on her face.

So, he resorted to pinching her nose.

The underlying heartache was well-concealed, showing no signs of leaking out.

A gentle smile formed between his brows, "Sorry, I misspoke."

The man apologized so quickly, which Wanxia didn’t expect, and the surprise in her eyes was evident.

With a feigned annoyance, she gave him a sideways glance and turned her head toward the window, looking at the street view outside the glass to escape the kneading hand. "Lin Chu isn’t in a rush; it’s Lu Huai’an who’s anxious. Actually, it’s nothing, she just wants to see me, after all, there’s no one else left in the Lin Family. Her father, when I was little, I used to call him dad too."

She said this in a relaxed and calm tone, as if it was just a normal day-to-day thing.

However, the smile in Gu Shaozhi’s brows had faded, and the complex emotions in the depths of his dark eyes were indistinguishable as he asked faintly, "Do you dislike Huai’an?"

Wanxia felt like laughing at this, so she chuckled softly out loud.

Haha, earlier he was like a toddler with mental regression to the time of infancy, now he’s just ’Huai’an’ again.

"Why would I hate him? The business world is a fiercely competitive place of survival of the fittest. At that time, my brother was not around, and grandpa’s health was not good, the Ji Family was already fragmented. It’s not hard to understand that he took the opportunity to push forward."

A long time had passed since she had endured those lonely days without any support.

So long that she had forgotten that she used to be woken up by the weight of debts pressing on her every morning.

To be fair, she should be thankful to Gu Shaozhi.

A mutual and pure marriage is, after all, a luxury.

Gu Shaozhi sneered, "You sure see things clearly."

Wanxia also smiled, but her smile was light and didn’t reach her eyes, "So what then, should I also hate him?"

What she said was ’also’.

After returning from the hospital, Gu Shaozhi did not go back to the company.

He stayed with Wanxia for a meal and then accompanied her to sleep. Around five or six in the afternoon, Wanxia developed a fever.

Her immune system was weak, and even after taking cold medicine, the illness couldn’t be stopped.

Her cheeks were unnaturally flushed, her whole body was burning heavily, and she had no energy.

Knowing she resists hospitals, Gu Shaozhi didn’t even mention it and called a doctor to the house to prescribe medication.

He poured a cup of hot water and adjusted it to a suitable temperature before returning to the bedroom.

He dug Wanxia out from under the covers, letting her lean against him, and the furrows between his brows never relaxed for a moment, but his voice was tender, "Wanwan, you have a fever and need to take medicine. Be good, open your mouth."

Wanxia’s head felt extremely dizzy, and she seemed to have no bones, leaning limply against Gu Shaozhi, not speaking or opening her mouth, just groggily snuggling closer.

This was the first time Gu Shaozhi lay beside her while she was asleep.

She had many, many dreams, bizarre and fragmented, but in the end, she remembered none of them.

Gu Shaozhi clearly knew that she needed him now, whether it was a subconscious instinct or a conscious attempt, he didn’t want to investigate too deeply.

She needed him, and that was enough.

Though she was clinging to him like this, which made him happy, there was more helplessness and heartache.
