“Hey, take me with you!” Qi Yanxi jumped up, but the only response he got was the splatter of muddy water as the Porsche drove off .
Young Master Qi gave the Porsche an angry finger .
Back in the car, Sheng Yize held An Xiaxia in his arms and wrapped a thin blanket around her . He kept urging the driver, “Drive faster!”
Covered in cold sweat, the driver floored the gas pedal . The car shot off like a bat out of hell .
The hospital .
“Miss An’s condition isn’t serious . She fainted because she caught a cold and was weakened by the sickness . She should wake up after the IV…” The doctor left after those words .
Sheng Yize let out a breath of relief and couldn’t help but sigh when he turned to look at the pale-faced An Xiaxia lying in bed .
The little dummy never knew how to look after herself properly .
He saw her taken away by Qi Yanxi and he saw her giving Chi Yuanfeng a hug . Each time, he told himself that it might be better for her to be with someone else .
But in the end, he couldn’t let it happen .
He held An Xiaxia’s hand with the IV in it in his palm, warming it with his body temperature .
He ended up sitting there for hours .
When the last IV was halfway through, An Xiaxia’s long lashes flickered and she finally woke up .
She was shocked when she realized it was Sheng Yize sitting beside her .
“Sheng Yize…” Her voice was a little hoarse .
“Hm . ” It seemed forever when he replied .
An Xiaxia asked sheepishly, “Why are you here?”
“You fainted and I brought you to the hospital,” he explained in an indifferent voice . An Xiaxia was a little frustrated by his tone, but she then felt the warmth on her left hand .
She turned to look and saw that Sheng Yize was holding her hand!
Sheng Yize also realized it . He was going to draw his hand back, but after a thought, only held it tighter .
An Xiaxia stammered, “You… you…” Ahh! Why was he holding her hand?! What was going on here?
Sheng Yize made it sound perfectly normal . “Your hand is too cold and cold hands swell easily with an IV in them . ”
It sounded completely reasonable at first, but something seemed off when she thought it over…
Sheng Yize didn’t give her time to think, though . He pulled the duvet over her face with his other hand . “Be quiet and go back to sleep . ”
“Mhm…” An Xiaxia’s muffled sound come from under the duvet . After what had happened in the past two days, she was indeed too exhausted to recognize the odd look on Sheng Yize’s face . She closed her eyes and soon fell asleep again .
Sheng Yize’s face remained expressionless as he held her small hand . However, the skin behind his ears had turned pink…
Outside the door, Qi Yanxi was challenging the bodyguards .
“Hey, my friend is lying in there . Why can’t I go in to see her?” bellowed Qi Yanxi .
The bodyguards kept their poker faces . “I’m sorry, but we’re only following Young Master Sheng’s orders . ”
Qi Yanxi felt like headbutting the wall . That bastard!
“I just want to check if she’s awake!” Qi Yanxi tried to bargain, but the bodyguards wouldn’t be swayed . Qi Yanxi couldn’t fight them both and could only stand there and glare at them .
His phone rang at this time . He looked at it and saw that it was from Mu Li .
He picked it up .
“Young Master, there’s a family banquet tonight . Please come back to attend it . ”
He was in a foul mood to begin with and the call made him snap . “Mu Li, who the hell do you think you are? Since when did you take up the position of my old man’s secretary in addition to being a maid?”
At those words, Mu Li’s face drained of all color . Qi Yanxi hung up right away, then dialed the number for the bodyguards of the Qi family .
Ten minutes later, Qi Yanxi brushed his fringe off his face in a cocky manner and swaggered up to the bodyguards that had stopped him . “Are you still going to stop me now? I’d like to see you try!”
