had first met Gu Chen. She rented a one-room apartment, intending to settle there temporarily while she plotted her next move.On the bus to her rented apartment, Hou Shao passed a sex shop. She got o...Lin Jinran took a deep breath, gathered her courage, and shouted, "Ye Xiao!"

As the sound faded, silence descended upon the room. The only sound was her shallow, nervous breaths.

Unwilling, Lin Jinran propped himself up on the headboard and stood. His fingers clenched tightly as he took step by step towards the bedroom door.

Standing before the bedroom door, Lin Jinran had made up her mind.

With a gentle touch, the pale fingers reached for the doorknob, gripping it tightly before twisting and pulling it open with force.

Her breath caught, her eyes fixed on everything outside the door.

Contrary to expectation, a man was sitting in the living room waiting for her to wake up.

Sunlight streamed through the bright glass windows, warmly bathing every corner of the living room, filling it with a cozy and inviting atmosphere.

Everything around was just as it had been when she moved in, including the cold teacup on the table by the window, left in its place from yesterday.

Lin Jin was slumped against the door, her air leaking out of her like a punctured tire.

She was too suspicious, jumping to conclusions.

Why am I feeling so drained and miserable, it's like...

There was a faint ache in his head, Lin Jinran weakly lifted his hand to cover his forehead, which was slightly warm.

She felt her forehead again, it was indeed burning with discomfort.

Lin Jinyan stood up and walked into the bathroom. In the mirror, her cheeks were unnaturally flushed, and she looked listless.

It seems she is sick, which caused her to be weak all over.

I turned on the cold water tap and splashed some water on my cheeks, which woke me up a bit.

Lin Jinyan finished washing up, changed into a casual outfit and went out to buy breakfast. He passed by a drugstore and bought some medicine as well.

Back in her room, she poured herself some cold milk tea, boiled some water, took her medicine, and climbed back into bed.

Yesterday's sudden downpour not only caused Lin Jinran to fall ill.

Gu Nan Ci woke up with a scratchy throat and a slight stuffy nose as well.

He didn't mind. During breakfast, Gunan Ci and Granny Gu sat quietly at the dining table, each eating their meals.

Suddenly, Gu Nanci felt a salty sweetness in his throat and coughed lightly, pressing his fist against his lips.

Seeing Old Madam Gu, who was in the middle of eating, suddenly stop her movements and look up at him, concern etched on her face, "Why are you coughing"

"It's fine." he replied casually, not really paying attention.

At this moment, Grandma Gu was displeased and softly scolded, “You’re sick, why are you still going to work You're not allowed to go.” Then, she turned her head to the butler beside her and said, "Go and inform his assistant that he is sick and won't be coming to work today."

He still has a lot of things to deal with today, and it's a squeeze to go out even for a day. Besides, catching a cold and coughing isn't a serious illness anyway.

Gu Nanci looked at the old woman, "Grandma."

"What, you're going to get sick again Don't you think about yourself, but also think about this old bone of mine. How old am I, still worrying about you,"

Grandma Gu put on a stern face and began to recount her past in detail.

"Alright, I won't go." Afraid that the old woman would continue talking, Gu Nanci readily agreed to the elder's request. If he wasn't going, then he wouldn't go. He could handle some things at home using his computer anyway.

Hearing what Gu Nanci said, Grandma Gu finally nodded in satisfaction, "That's good, just stay home and rest properly, and go back to work when you're well."

I'll be out for a while, you stay home and behave yourself. Don't go anywhere! Grandma Gu warned again, fearing that Gu Nandici wouldn't listen.

Gu Nanci nodded and agreed to work from home, making it easier to handle things with the old lady gone.

Unbeknownst to them, Madam Gu had already formed new plans earlier. with armed guards at the entrance, eyeing him warily.The people behind him shouted loudly, "Don't dawdle, go inside."He strode in with his long legs, not the slightest bit afraid. People patrolled ar...
