The Ice King's Little Trouble Maker-Chapter 651 - 613: Took a Fall

Early the next morning.

Qiao Yuxian was still asleep, and Huang Qi came to draw blood again.

Gu Yanjing sat by the bed, holding her hand, gently rolling up her sleeve, then holding her arm, waiting for Huang Qi to administer the needle.

Normally, Qiao Yuxian would sleep soundly without waking.

Usually, you have to call her for a while to get her up to eat or take medicine.

Today, as soon as Huang Qi’s needle pierced her skin, she woke up.

Her arm instinctively moved a little.

Gu Yanjing quickly used a bit of force and then looked at her.

Qiao Yuxian opened her eyes, dazed for a few seconds, stared straight at him, and when she realized what was happening, she smiled at him.

Gu Yanjing smiled back at her.

Neither of them spoke.

Huang Qi quickly drew three vials of blood and withdrew the needle.

Gu Yanjing skillfully pressed the cotton ball onto the site.

Huang Qi took her pulse again and asked about her physical condition.

Qiao Yuxian lay quietly in bed, even though Gu Yanjing hadn’t spoken a word, she clearly felt his tension.

As the pulse-taking and questioning extended, his anxiety was increasing.

He was afraid of receiving bad news from Huang Qi.

He feared that the poison in her body might suddenly progress.

Afraid that Qiao Yuxian’s body might suddenly fail her.

So he kept being tense.

Indeed, Qiao Yuxian felt she could faintly hear his accelerated heartbeat.

This emotion was so obvious that Huang Qi also felt it. And he sensed it every time he took her pulse. So when he lifted his hand from Qiao Yuxian’s wrist, he immediately said, "It’s okay, there’s no progress, very stable."

"Don’t worry." Qiao Yuxian squeezed Gu Yanjing’s fingers with her other hand and said, "It’s fine."

Gu Yanjing breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Huang Qi then gave a couple of instructions and left.

"Alright, you can stop pressing it now." Qiao Yuxian said.

Gu Yanjing looked at the cotton ball on her arm, examined it slowly, saw it wasn’t bleeding anymore, and let go.

He threw away the cotton ball, gently touched her head, bent down and kissed her temple, "Why did you wake up?"

"I felt a slight pain and just woke up." Qiao Yuxian gripped his hand, "I didn’t notice it before; I used to sleep soundly."

Gu Yanjing gave a small laugh, bent down, and kissed her again.

"Do I need to take medicine?" Qiao Yuxian asked.

"Hmm." Gu Yanjing stroked her head, "Take the medicine first, then eat in half an hour."

"Okay." Qiao Yuxian sat up and leaned against him, "Carry me."

"Alright."

Gu Yanjing carried her to wash up.

After washing up, Aunt Qin soon brought the medicine up.

Qiao Yuxian sat on the sofa, Gu Yanjing stood behind the sofa braiding her hair.

She looked at the medicine on the coffee table, smelled the scent wafting from it, her eyes gradually widened, accumulating resistance.

Gu Yanjing sensed her head retreating backward, quickly finished braiding her hair, and walked around to the front of the sofa.

Qiao Yuxian looked up at him, appearing pitiful.

Gu Yanjing lowered his eyes to look at her, entirely overwhelmed by her gaze.

Every time Qiao Yuxian drank medicine, she looked at him like this. Pitifully, making people soften tremendously.

Gu Yanjing sat beside her, kissed her lips.

Qiao Yuxian pursed her lips, seemingly wanting to say something, but after moving her mouth twice, deemed speaking useless and obediently picked up the bowl, finishing it in one go.

Gu Yanjing quickly handed her a piece of candy.

Qiao Yuxian put down the bowl and immediately ate the candy.

Yet, she still gagged a bit from the bitterness.

Gu Yanjing gently patted her back.

It took Qiao Yuxian a while to complain, "This medicine is more bitter than my life."

Gu Yanjing slowly soothed her back, said nothing, but thin sweat quickly appeared on his forehead.

Gu Yanjing was someone who never revealed emotions.

But lately, Qiao Yuxian had always felt his disoriented helplessness.

She felt Gu Yanjing’s heart was almost twisted together.

She ate little, he worried. She took medicine, he tensed up. She vomited, he was anxious to the point of chilling.

Qiao Yuxian leaned into his arms.

Gu Yanjing instantly embraced her, kissed the top of her head.

Qiao Yuxian said, "Honey, you’ve worked hard lately."

"Hmm?" Gu Yanjing gently responded.

Qiao Yuxian said, "Liu Zhou reports work to me every day. I know what you guys are doing. I also know you don’t sleep at night." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

"Not sleepless." Gu Yanjing said.

"Sometimes at night, even though I haven’t woken up, I can sense you’re not beside me." Qiao Yuxian said.

At home, Gu Yanjing couldn’t leave the Capital City. But he kept control of all information from various regions, analyzing them. Yujing Manor, Nine Emperor Hall, Twelfth Floor, and all other matters were reported to him.

Even though Gu Yicheng was managing Gu Group, Gu Yanjing was still overwhelmingly busy.

Especially with his nerves constantly on edge.

Gu Yanjing didn’t speak.

Qiao Yuxian said, "You’ve lost a lot of weight."

"No." Gu Yanjing said.

"Haven’t you visited Aunt in a long time?" Qiao Yuxian asked again.

"Call her every day." Gu Yanjing said.

Qiao Yuxian leaned against his chest, suddenly furrowed her brows, and said, "I feel something’s not quite right on Yao Mountain Island."

"Liu Zhou just came back from there, also met with Huo Yanxin, didn’t notice anything unusual." Gu Yanjing said.

Qiao Yuxian paused, closed her eyes, and said, "Suddenly want to eat thick omelet, could you tell Aunt Qin please?"

"Hungry?" Gu Yanjing touched her face.

"Hmm." Qiao Yuxian lightly rubbed her head on his shoulder.

"Okay, I’ll go tell her." Gu Yanjing patted her head and stood up.

Lately, her appetite hadn’t been good.

But if there was something she wanted to eat, Gu Yanjing was naturally happy.

"Alright." Qiao Yuxian responded.

Watching him leave the room, Qiao Yuxian leaned back against the sofa.

After a while, she raised a hand to cover her stomach.

The medicine had caused another reaction.

And the reaction seemed a bit more intense.

Every time she took medicine there was a reaction, some mild, some severe.

Sometimes, enduring and falling asleep let it pass.

But today’s reaction was a bit too intense, so she sent Gu Yanjing away first.

She feared he’d feel bad seeing it again.

After sitting on the sofa for a while, Qiao Yuxian stood up and walked to the bathroom.

She just reached the bathroom and vomited.

Gu Yanjing went downstairs to tell Aunt Qin, coincidentally, he met Wan Ying who came to report some matters.

Qiao Shuning had stayed in Jin City for a while, and arrived in Capital City last night, constantly monitored.

Also, Chen Xi had already headed to Jin City.

Wan Ying knew he was anxious to return to the room, and reported quickly.

After listening, Gu Yanjing asked him to have people pay extra attention to Qiao Shuning, then returned to the room.

As he pushed open the door and entered, he just saw Qiao Yuxian coming out of the bathroom.

She took just two steps forward, and Qiao Yuxian’s leg gave way as she kneeled to the floor.

Her knees hit the floor with a loud bang.

Gu Yanjing’s heart suddenly tightened, hurried into the room and lifted her up, "What’s wrong?"

"It’s fine." Qiao Yuxian touched his ice-cold hand, listened to his trembling voice, weakly said, "Just vomited, my legs went weak."

Gu Yanjing placed her on the bed, took out his phone and hastily called Huang Qi.

Qiao Yuxian lay on the bed, looked at his pale face and suddenly red eyes, raised her hand to touch his face, "Gu Yanjing, listen to me, don’t blame yourself. I didn’t expect my legs to go weak. It’s okay, really okay."
