The Scheming Billionaire's Heartfelt Devotion-Chapter 833 - 848: I Don’t Feel at Ease Leaving You Home Alone
Han Xi smiled as she walked to the sofa and sat down, leaning back: "Sis, when can the test results be ready?"
"The hospital staff said it’ll take two days before the results are ready, but right now I’m so restless, all I can think about is this matter."
"Being anxious won’t help; just wait patiently. Two days isn’t a long time after all."
As soon as Han Xi finished speaking, another call came in on her phone. She glanced at the screen: "Sis, Jing Han is calling me. Let’s talk later, I’ll hang up now."
"Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Zhong Li looked at her swollen and red ankle, then simply lay on the sofa. To distract herself from thinking about the test results and Qi Weidong, she picked up the remote and turned on the TV, randomly finding a show to watch.
When Gu Nanxi returned from shopping, Zhong Li had already fallen asleep on the sofa.
Gu Nanxi put the shopping bags in the kitchen, then went to the bedroom and fetched a blanket to cover Zhong Li. He crouched in front of the sofa, watching her sleeping face; his deep-set eyes glowed with a doting light.
Gu Nanxi quietly stayed crouched there, watching Zhong Li for over ten minutes before getting up to cook dinner.
......
When Zhong Li awoke, it was already dark outside. Upon opening her eyes, the first thing she saw was Gu Nanxi’s handsome face. His deep eyes, like stars, gazed at her with a warmth reminiscent of spring’s gentle breeze.
Zhong Li’s eyelashes fluttered as a pretty smile curled her lips: "How long have you been watching me?"
Gu Nanxi glanced at his wristwatch: "About twenty minutes. Is your foot still painful?"
"It’s much better now. Did you make dinner? I’m really hungry." Zhong Li raised her hand, fingertips tracing the outline of Gu Nanxi’s cheek.
"Already done, it’s staying warm in the pot."
Gu Nanxi took Zhong Li’s hand resting on his face, leaned down, and kissed her lips......
........
After breakfast, Zhong Li called Qi Shangyu to say she had accidentally twisted her ankle yesterday and needed to take a few days’ leave from the company.
Qi Shangyu asked a lot of concerned questions over the phone, but Zhong Li replied briefly and hung up.
Seeing Gu Nanxi walk out from the bedroom in dark blue loungewear, Zhong Li smiled: "You really don’t need to stay home with me, go to work already."
"I can’t rest easy leaving you home alone. I’ve already arranged everything at the company."
Gu Nanxi helped Zhong Li to the sofa in the living room, smoothing her slightly messy hair: "You’re more important than anything, I need to be here to take care of you myself."
"I’m not that delicate, your company has so much going on. Are you sure it’s okay not to go?"
Zhong Li didn’t really want him to leave, but she was worried about hindering his work.
With a tender voice, Gu Nanxi grasped her hand dotingly: "Don’t worry, it’s all been arranged. Now let me apply some ice for you."
Zhong Li nodded, watching his back with a smile sweeter than candied fruit.
Being cared for so attentively felt truly blissful.
After taking some ice from the fridge and wrapping it with a plastic bag and towel, Gu Nanxi came out: "I bought some oranges at the supermarket yesterday. Would you like some fresh orange juice?"
"Sure."
