Xie Xubai looked at the antipyretic medicine in his hand and said in a much gentler tone: "Take the antipyretic medicine first."

If you keep burning, you might turn into a fool.

Huo Sijiao turned her face away and said in a hoarse voice: "I don't want to eat it."

Sick people have the right to be willful. She had been feeling uncomfortable since the middle of the night. She just endured it and fell asleep in a daze. Now she was exhausted all over, as if all her energy had been drained away. It was really hard to endure.

Now seeing Xie Xubai, he was actually a little angry.

"Be obedient. You can only get better after taking the medicine." Xie Xubai coaxed her patiently, "Don't be angry. Take the medicine first."

Huo Sijiao turned her head and refused to take the antipyretic pill.

Xie Xubai had a headache, "Don't be angry with your body."

"I'll eat later." Huo Sijiao didn't want to give in, but she was afraid that she would become a fool if she got burned.

"I called my sister-in-law and asked if she could come over."

"Thank you Xubai!"

Huo Sijiao snatched the pill from his hand and swallowed it in one gulp. "Don't disturb my brother and sister-in-law. They are busy. It's just a fever. It's not a big deal."

She didn't want her sister-in-law to worry about her.

Xie Xubai threatened her like this because he knew her weakness.

snort!

"The kitchen cooked some millet porridge. I asked someone to bring it up. You ate such greasy food last night. The doctor said you should eat lighter food in the next few days."

Huo Sijiao was a little confused when she heard Xie Xubai talking about last night.

Then I remembered that she and the old lady had a big meal and drank a lot, showing off their barbecue and beer. The two of them almost became sworn brothers after getting drunk.

She pursed her lips and said, "I just ate a little bit."

"Did you get acute gastroenteritis after eating a little?"

"Who? Did grandma get acute gastroenteritis?" Huo Sijiao felt that she deserved to die. She actually drank beer and ate barbecue with such an old lady, and even caused her to have problems.

I felt a little guilty for a moment.

She looked at Xie Xubai and asked, "How is grandma?"

"She's taking medicine and resting. Her health is good. But she's old, and her family has been preventing her from eating foods that are high in oil and salt. She has three highs, and her family usually hires a nutritionist to control her diet."

Huo Sijiao felt more and more guilty, "In fact, grandma has been secretly ordering takeout."

She directly disclosed the takeouts that the old lady often ordered, including the store names and addresses, as well as the special dishes that the old lady had boasted to her about last night.

"That's all. The barbecue we had last night is what the old lady has been eating for decades."

She lowered her head and looked kind of cute.

Xie Xubai's face was filled with smiles. "You betrayed her."

"You can give her some food occasionally, otherwise there is really no hope in life."

"Ah."

Xie Xubai poured her a cup of warm water and handed it to her lips.

Huo Sijiao took two sips.

She didn't feel as uncomfortable as when she just woke up. She leaned on Xie Xubai's arms and rubbed against him. "What did you mean by kicking me out of the room last night?"

It feels a bit like being coquettish, but also like settling a score afterwards.

Xie Xubai said in a calm tone, "I went to take a shower after you left last night."

Huo Sijiao understood immediately and said arrogantly: "You deserve it!"

But this one sentence already pleased her.

Xie Xubai was also very calm, "I really deserve it."

Huo Sijiao's voice was soft and tentative: "If we don't get divorced, but I want you to live with me in Haicheng, is that okay?"

"Am I marrying into the family?"

"No. We will live in both places, half a year in Haicheng and half a year in the capital. I don't want to leave my hometown, and I can't be selfish and ask you to sacrifice too much for me. So each of us should take a step back. Do you think it's okay?"

In fact, after what the old lady said last night, she no longer wanted to get a divorce.

Xie Xubai lowered his head and asked, "The reason you want to divorce me is that you don't want to stay in the imperial capital forever?"

"Yeah. I'm a little scared. After my sister-in-law and brother leave the capital, I'll be staying in this unfamiliar place. I may never learn to grow up in my life, even if I open a beauty salon here."

Huo Sijiao doesn't have any lofty ideals, she just wants to be a young lady protected by her family.

Do something you like, you don’t have to be particularly successful.

"You want to divorce me just for this issue?"

Huo Sijiao puffed up her cheeks, "Yeah."

"I can promise you to go to Haicheng."

"Really?" I thought Xie Xubai cared a lot about the capital's career and would never agree to such a condition. There were not many men like her brother in the world.

But I didn't expect Xie Xubai to agree directly.

"real."

"Then let's make a deal, you can't lie to me."

Xie Xubai said helplessly: "You are the only one who would lie to me. Can I cancel the agreement?"

"can."

Huo Sijiao stretched out her finger and hooked his hand: "Let's forget about it now and never mention it again. Then you can't kick me out at night?"

"Ah."

Xie Xubai rubbed her head.

He knew she wasn't that into him, but she wasn't indifferent either.

Let's slowly develop feelings for each other in the future. Little Chili also has her soft spots.

……

Compared to the warmth of the Xie family, the Pei family is different.

Last night's engagement party has become a laughing stock throughout the capital.

Zhao Yaru was injured and hospitalized, looking numb.

Since she entered the hospital last night, no one from the Pei family has come to see her. Her mother-in-law did call her in the middle of the night and scolded her for being a jinx.

They sisters are all vixens!

Zhao Yaru's hand hurts.

The doctor said the wound was very deep and would most likely leave a scar. She would never be able to wear a dress that exposed her arms again. The thought of the hideous scar made her heart ache even more.

Pei Zheng didn't come to see her or call her.

Pei Qian is more like a coward who is afraid of getting involved in his brother's family disputes.

Zhao Yaru leaned on the bed, the effect of the anesthesia had worn off. Her hands were aching, and although it was the coldest time of the year, she was sweating on her forehead. Her lips were dry and chapped, and there was no one around to take care of her.

The nurse felt sorry for her and said she would find a caregiver for her, charging her a daily fee.

But the hospital is busy and doesn't have staff available at the moment, and they said the earliest they can arrive is in the afternoon.

She even had some difficulty going to the bathroom. The Pei family didn't care about her after sending her here. They didn't arrange a high-end ward for her. It was just an ordinary single ward, which looked small and had poor sound insulation.

She didn't sleep last night, listening to the patient next door screaming in pain all night.

The Pei family is so cruel.

Zhao Yaru turned over and wanted to drink some water, but her right hand was inconvenient. She could only reach it with her left hand, and the cup seemed to be against her and fell directly to the ground.

The glass of water also splashed all over the floor.

The whole world is against her!

knock knock.

There was a knock on the open door, and a fragrant breeze blew in, filling the room with a strong scent of perfume.
