Biting the red lips

Chapter 23 Miscalculation

"Miss Sheng?"

Seeing Sheng Wan stop at the door and not leaving, Aunt Zhou gave her a confused look.

Sheng Wan finally came back to her senses and smiled apologetically: "Sorry, I was just thinking about something."

Knowing that young people are thin-skinned, Aunt Zhou skipped the conversation and asked instead: "Does Miss Sheng have any favorite dishes? I'll ask the kitchen to prepare them for you."

Sheng Wan waved her hand nonchalantly: "I'm not picky about food, as long as it tastes good."

"Ms. Sheng, take a rest in the living room for a while. I'll go to the kitchen and keep an eye on her."

Sheng Wan nodded and sat down in front of the sofa.

Through the large glass window, she saw the housekeeper Kang Bo pruning a green plant in a flower bed.

The butler's whereabouts are quite mysterious.

These days, Sheng Wan spends most of her time in the villa, but rarely meets him.

I clicked on the phone screen and looked at it. It was not yet nine o'clock, and there was still some time before Gu Huaichen would come back.

Sheng Wan thought for a while, got up and came to the flower bed.

Kang Bo only glanced back when she came over. He was concentrating on pruning the green plant in front of him and had no intention of talking to her.

Sheng Wan didn't feel angry. She was not a big shot in the Gu family, and no one stipulated that the housekeeper must pay attention to her.

Thinking of the purpose of her coming here, Sheng Wan started to look for words.

"This is... a gardenia tree?" Relying on her limited knowledge of gardening, Sheng Wan could barely identify the gardenia tree in front of her that looked quite old.

Kang Bo stopped what he was doing and looked back at her.

When Sheng Wan thought he was about to speak, he turned his head again and continued pruning the branches.

Sheng Wan: ...What a personality, even colder than Gu Huaichen. He is worthy of being the most senior butler in the Gu family.

A gust of cool breeze hit her. Sheng Wan hugged her body with both hands and felt a sense of sadness for no reason.

Looking at Kang Bo's rickety back, Sheng Wan pursed her lips and suddenly didn't want to get anything out of him.

Forget it, this guy seems to have a story.

She had better figure out a solution for Gu Huaichen and Luo Xin on her own.When it was saved, the matter was exposed and Gu Huaichen was angered.

"It's a bit cold outside, I'm going back first." Sheng Wan took the initiative to say goodbye.

Kang Bo turned around and his wise eyes were looking at her, making it impossible to hide.

"Tell me what you want to do with me."

Sheng Wan opened her mouth, but finally decided to follow her original idea.

"Actually, it's nothing. I just want to hear about Huai Chen from you. I want to know more about him."

Kang Bo nodded without saying anything. He came to the flower bed and slowly packed up his tools. After Sheng Wan saw it, she stepped forward to help with great discernment.

"If that's all you want to ask, then you should go to Aunt Zhou. She takes care of the young master more than me."

"But Aunt Zhou is not clear about something, so I thought of asking you. I am also sick and seek medical treatment in a hurry. Don't be surprised."

Sheng Wan lowered her head and said as if she was in a low mood, "Sister Luo has returned to China. Huai Chen's heart is tied to her. I felt sad after seeing her."

"Uncle Kang, if you know Huaichen's past, can you tell me? I...I really don't want to lose him."

Sheng Wan opened her moist eyes and looked at him without blinking, her eyes full of expectation.

"Miss Sheng, you should know that I am the housekeeper of the Gu family and I eat the food of the Gu family. It is not a wise move for you to try to find out about the young master from me." Kang Bo's attitude was very firm and he left after saying that. .

Sheng Wan had a headache for this loyal and stubborn old man, and for a moment she didn't know how to break through his defenses.

Sheng Wan stood in the night wind, thinking for a long time, but couldn't think of a reason. "Why are you standing here alone?"

A deep voice came from behind, followed by a warm suit jacket that was put on her body.

It was Gu Huaichen who was back. Sheng Wan was so absorbed in thinking that she didn't even notice the sound of his return.

"Ah!"

She couldn't help but sneeze and rubbed the tip of her nose. She felt a little stuffy and her head was a little groggy.

Gu Huaichen put his hand on her forehead and felt the hot temperature in his palm. He immediately picked her up by the waist and strode home.

And Sheng Wan gradually lost consciousness in his arms.

Seeing the two people's posture, Aunt Zhou quickly stepped forward and asked, "Miss Sheng, what's going on?"

As he said that, he wanted to pull away from Sheng Wan and see her condition.

However, Gu Huaichen held him tightly in his arms, blocking Aunt Zhou's view, like a wild beast protecting its cubs.

"She has a fever, go call the doctor!"

"I'll call the doctor right away." Aunt Zhou nodded hurriedly and dialed the family doctor's number.

The doctor will come soon.

Sheng Wan was given a comprehensive examination.

"I have a cold, a cold. Take some antipyretic medicine, and then drink two bottles of salt water. The medicine will cure the disease in two days."

Gu Huaichen nodded after hearing this and asked the doctor to prescribe medicine as soon as possible.

……

At night, the master bedroom on the second floor.

Sheng Wan lay quietly on the bed.

After an unknown amount of time, she slowly opened her eyes. What she saw was the solid-colored ceiling and the light from the dazzling crystal chandelier. The sound of "ticking" echoed in her ears.

She opened her mouth and found that her throat was sore and her lips were very chapped.

Before she could speak, someone at the edge of the bed handed her a glass of warm water.

Sheng Wan leaned against the rim of the cup and drank a few sips of warm water, which relieved some of her discomfort.

"What's wrong with me?"

The sound was hoarse and unpleasant, and Sheng Wan was stunned when she heard it.

Sheng Wan's memory still remains - she was thinking about something in the garden, Gu Huaichen came back, picked her up, and then...she had no memory.

Gu Huaichen looked at her deeply with his hawk-like black eyes, filled with anger: "You don't even know that you are sick? Sheng Wan, can you be more useless?"

It was uncomfortable enough to be sick, but also to be scolded by Gu Huaichen. Sheng Wan's petulant temper came at the drop of a hat.

She glared at him fiercely and used a hoarse voice to attack and output:
"You need to take care of it! Birth, old age, illness and death are normal things. I'm not a god. How can I control it? Besides, I'm the one who's sick. How do I have anything to do with you, Gu Huaichen? I feel uncomfortable too. If you think I It's an eyesore, I'm just leaving to make room for your sister Luo Xin!"

Gu Huaichen frowned: "What are you talking about to make room for? Don't involve Luo Xin in everything."

Sheng Wan glared at him angrily: "Yes, it has nothing to do with her. She is the pure white moonlight, and I am just the rice particles stuck on your clothes. I am not as noble as she!"

"You!" Gu Huaichen clenched his fists and looked at her with his dark eyes, "That's enough. If you keep messing around, I won't be polite!"

"Okay, I want to see how you can be rude. Come on!"

After hearing what he said, Sheng Wan was not afraid, but even more resentful, "Come on, just strangle me to death, and you can stay and fly with your beloved Sister Luo Xin."

Gu Huaichen was extremely irritable and tried his best to suppress his anger: "Let me say it for the last time, don't involve her in everything!"
