Lì n angrily turned around and went back into his room, but he didn't close the door because Yán Luòxī's location was in a corner of this floor. If she wanted to leave, she would either have to pass by his room or jump out of the window.

He pouted and called the catering department, ordering a heap of piping hot midnight snacks. Then he sat on the sofa with one leg crossed over the other, waiting like a hare-trapper.

Lì n didn't catch any rabbits; instead, hotel room service arrived. Hot soup dumplings, spicy and numbing fragrant pot, stone pot chili stew, lean meat porridge, oatmeal... There were all sorts of dishes that Yán Luòxī liked.

Confidently, Lì n thought Yán Luòxī would definitely come in upon seeing the food. However, after waiting for a while, there was still no sound outside the door.

His spoiled rich kid temper flared up; he walked over to the dining table himself and ate fragrant pot dishes and drank milk, sweating profusely as he waited, but Yán Luòxī did not show up.

This damn girl really had more stubbornness than her frail body should allow!

Lì n was truly enraged this time. With murderous intent, he took a large step out of the room and cursed as he walked: "Damn brat! Aren't you too ungrateful I give you face and you throw it back in my face; you want me to come and deal with you..."

Standing before Yán Luòxī, Lì n suddenly fell silent.

The dim yellow light in the corridor silently caressed Yan Luoxi's figure. With her eyes closed and huddled up, she appeared lonely and weak.

In the dark lighting, Li An noticed that Yan Luoxi’s originally pale face was now covered with a nearly transparent pink hue, making him momentarily dazed. It reminded him of years ago when Yan Luoxi returned from playing tennis in the garden; her fair skin had been tinged with a faint blush.

Li An's momentary lapse lasted only briefly. As he snapped back to reality, he quickly reached out and touched Yan Luoxi's forehead.

Damn it, this little brat is indeed running a fever.

Without delay, Li An carried Yan Luoxi into the room. Feeling her scorching skin made him grind his teeth in frustration, "You wretched girl, born to oppose me! You wouldn't come inside when I asked you to; now that you're sick, why don’t you just die far away Instead, you’re tormenting me with your half-dead state right here."

Though his words were harsh, his actions remained gentle. He carefully laid Yan Luoxi down and skillfully removed her wet clothes, then tucked her into the blankets, wrapping her up tightly before calling room service to send some cold medicine.

The hotel's room service was relatively prompt; when Li An wiped Yan Luoxi’s face for a second time with a towel, the medicine arrived.

With an overflowing heart of gratitude, Li An’s expression darkened upon seeing just two capsules of cold medicine in the attendant’s hand. "How do you call this service This is what you delivered! It's far too little; did you keep these worthless pills as your precious remedy"

The attendant was intimidated by the murderous aura Li An exuded, trembling and stuttering, "M-Mr., I'm sorry... The weather today isn't good, many guests have caught a cold... requiring medicine. We apologize for not having enough prepared. Please forgive us..."

Lian knew that it was futile to be difficult with a waiter, as the hotel was not a pharmacy and it was understandable for them to lack preparation for such unexpected events.

Irritated, he waved his hand dismissively to get rid of the waiter.

Looking at Yan Luoxi's face turning redder due to fever, and seeing her tightly closing her eyes as if she would never open them again, Lian felt a surge of panic. He pried open her mouth and forcefully gave her two capsules.

The rain outside was still pouring heavily. There were no signs of improvement in Yan Luoxi after taking the medicine. At his wits' end, Lian could only keep applying cold towels to her head, hoping that this physical cooling method would reduce her fever.

Anxiety and worry made Lian forget everything, including Yan Luoxi's previous deceptions and betrayals towards him, as well as the resentment he harbored. All he wanted now was for Yan Luoxi's fever to subside immediately. He kept busy moving between the bathroom and the large bed with a towel in hand.

By midnight, despite Lian’s efforts, Yan Luoxi’s fever hadn’t subsided. She was weakened by the high fever, lying there like a rag doll that could be moved at will, silent and still.

The usually bold Lian felt truly afraid. After frowning and pacing around for two rounds on the ground, he clenched his teeth, untied his sleeping robe, threw it to one side, jumped onto the bed, and tightly embraced Yan Luoxi who was completely naked in his arms.

Due to her fever, Yan Luoxi's body felt like a hot coal. Lian held her close in an attempt to use his own body temperature to warm up Yan Luoxi who had a high fever.

Lian's initial intention of jumping onto the bed was pure, but when he finally embraced the soft body he had longed for, his whole body felt unbearably hot and restless. The suppressed desire in him raged out loud.

He was aware of his own paranoia and could admit that this kind of obsession was almost self-degrading.

Ever since Yan Luoxi had betrayed him, Li An had imagined countless scenarios in which they would reunite and be together again. He just never thought it would happen under these circumstances.

With a passionate gaze, Li An looked at the Yan Luoxi in his arms; if not for her flushed cheeks from fever and rapid breathing, he might have mistaken this entire scene as a dream.

He clung tightly to Yan Luoxi, as if trying to merge her into his very bones, his breaths coming out with the force of someone suffering from asthma.

Hers slight nose was slightly flared up while her petal-like lips were slightly parted, breathing heavily. The hot air she exhaled burned Li An's cheeks.

The air was filled with Yan Luoxi’s familiar sweet scent; the tempting red lips made his heart flutter uncontrollably. This woman, this body, was finally back in his arms again. Knowing it would only be for one night, Li An still felt contentment deep inside.

Li An covered both himself and Yan Luoxi with thick blankets, tightly wrapping them up together. Soon enough, he broke into a sweat, but even feeling hot and uncomfortable, he didn’t dare to remove the blankets; until Yan Luoxi’s feverish sweat was out, her fever would subside.

Yan Luoxi proved herself capable; she finally broke out in a sweat under Li An's thick blanket and his broad embrace, and her temperature really did drop slightly.

Li An knew that Yan Luoxi was about to wake up, and it was time for him to let go of her.Yufan over and then frame Zhou Guangtao for. Those matters were something he would never admit even if it cost him his life. So instead, he acted as though nothing happened and smiled at Yan Luoxi, “W...
