Chapter 9: Waking Up in His House

Ye Zichen stared at Chiang Sen, confused, "Who are you?"

"Ye Fanxing hasn't showed up for work for two days, I came to check on her."

Despite his irritation, Chiang Sen's attitude remained polite.

That Fanxing works in a villa, everyone in the family knows it.

"Mom, someone's here for Sister."

He led Chiang Sen in and said to Mrs. Ye, who was tidying up the kitchen.

Hearing it was someone looking for Ye Fanxing, Mrs. Ye's face fell, "Who are you?"

"I'm here for Ye Fanxing; Is she at home?"

Mrs. Ye had a meeting arranged with the Chen family the next day to discuss Fanxing's marriage proposal, and she didn't want any distractions, "She's not here."

Ye Zichen made a quip from the side: "Isn't my sister always locked in her room by you?"

Mrs. Ye glared at him, "Hold your tongue!"

That rotten kid, sabotaging his own mother.

Chiang Sen was standing on the side, listening to the mother and son's conversation. Understanding Fanxing was at home, he said to Mrs. Ye, "If she's here, please let me see her."

Mrs. Ye guarded, "Why are you looking for her?"

People from the Chen family were visiting tomorrow. She had given her word diligently. What if Fanxing run away because of this? How could she explain to them?

However, Ye Zichen had stealthily grabbed Mrs. Ye's keys by now. Although he had previously argued with his mother, he couldn't do anything about her. However, with Chiang Sen's arrival, he had grown bold.

"Ye Zichen!" Mrs. Ye was about to be driven mad by her son.

Soon, the room door was unlocked. Chiang Sen pushed open the door and entered. Lying on the bed, Ye Fanxing was burning up with a high fever...

-

Ye Fanxing lay on the bed, coughed once.

It was so hot...

A man was sitting beside her, holding a cold towel to her forehead, attempting to bring down her fever.

Ye Fanxing opened her eyes, surprised to discover, it was Fu Jingyu!

"Uncle, how are you here?" My God, hadn't she been locked in the house due to a conflict with her mother?

How did he appear here?

"Awake?" Seeing her open her eyes, Fu Jingyu sighed in relief.

She had been sleeping since she got here and he had been taking care of her. He was afraid that she wouldn't wake up.

Even though Chiang Sen kept consoling him that she wasn't that fragile, he was experiencing for the first time how frail women could be.

Ye Fanxing was astonished to find that she was not at home, but… at the villa.

She looked at Fu Jingyu in astonishment, "How did I end up here?"

"Chiang Sen went to look for you and brought you here when he found out you were ill." He looked at Ye Fanxing, with a hint of blame in his voice, "Why didn't you go to see a doctor?"

He had called a doctor to check on her an hour ago.

He found out that she had been sick for two days.

Ye Fanxing said, "It's just a little cold."

Usually, a good night sleep can cure a minor cold. She had been drowsy and slept for the past two days. Her mother hadn't let her out, but she hadn't paid much attention to it.

"Still a child." There was a hint of helplessness in Fu Jingyu's voice.

His voice was very steady. In front of her, he was almost like an elder.

His words made Ye Fanxing quickly forget about her real relationship with Fu Jingyu, making her relax, "Thank you for taking care of me."

Fu Jingyu put the towel back on her forehead, "Sleep a little more. I'll wake you up when the IV is finished."
