Addiction sets in at night; even the abstinent older man has fallen for it.

Mu Tiantian was delirious with fever. She felt someone touch her forehead, grabbed Ling Jieyu's wrist, and murmured, "Ah Shen, is that you?"

Ah Shen?

Ling Jieyu frowned slightly.

This must be Fu Zhengting's nickname.

Mu Tiantian was delirious with fever and mistook him for Fu Zhengting.

He moved his hand down and touched Mu Tiantian's neck. It was both hot and cold, and his hand was covered in a thin layer of sweat.

He was afraid that Mu Tiantian might suffer brain damage from the fever, so he gently patted her face, "Wake up!"

Qin Dongyang and Xia Guiying, who came up next, stood at the door, their ears pressed against the door to eavesdrop on the sounds inside.

The two vaguely sensed the tension and urgency in Ling Jieyu's tone, and realizing something was wrong, their smiles vanished instantly.

Qin Dongyang opened the door and went inside.

Xia Guiying followed behind.

Sister Hong walked over to the room door and went inside.

Upon reaching the bedside, Qin Dongyang asked Ling Jieyu, "Jieyu, what's wrong with Ruohan?"

Seeing Ling Jieyu withdraw his hand, he touched Mu Tiantian's forehead, which was so hot that his expression changed drastically.

"You have such a high fever, you need to go to the hospital."

As he spoke, he immediately bent down to pick up Mu Tiantian from the bed.

But since he was in bed and his health was not as good as before, it was very difficult for him to lift the person up.

Xia Guiying touched Mu Tiantian's forehead and was startled, estimating it to be at least 40 degrees Celsius. She felt a little regretful and guilty.

I don't know how long it's been burning.

She should have come up earlier; if Ayu hadn't arrived in time, she might have suffered brain damage.

She was also anxious, but worried about Qin Dongyang's health, so she pulled Qin Dongyang away and asked Ling Jieyu to help carry him.

Ling Jieyu felt uncomfortable hugging someone while wearing a suit, so he took off his suit and asked Xia Guiying to hold it for him.

Then, he rolled up his shirt sleeves, pressed his knees against the edge of the bed, first moved Mu Tiantian to the edge of the bed, and then lifted her up with all his might.

Xia Guiying and Qin Dongyang were very satisfied with Ling Jieyu's tall and strong body.

Even the old maid, Sister Hong, couldn't help but swoon a little.

It's no wonder so many women are attracted to the young master of the Ling family. He's even more handsome than a celebrity and has a great physique. If she were a young girl, she couldn't help but like him too.

Mu Tiantian felt as if she was floating, not knowing where she was, and unable to distinguish whether she was in a dream or in reality.

Subconsciously afraid of falling, she clung tightly to Ling Jieyu's neck with both hands and shrank her head into his arms.

Ling Jieyu's body stiffened slightly for a moment before he slowly lowered his head to look at Mu Tiantian in his arms.

The woman curled up like a pitiful little worm.

They look rather pitiful.

He chuckled at the description that came to mind, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

Mu Tiantian is not a little bug.

It's a big bug!

She looked quite plump; he thought she weighed at least 110 pounds, but when he hugged her, he realized she wasn't that heavy.

It should weigh around 100 jin (50 kg).

He can carry a 160-pound person in a princess carry.

Qin Dongyang and Xia Guiying followed on either side.

Xia Guiying also thought Mu Tiantian was quite heavy and was a little worried that Ling Jieyu wouldn't have enough stamina, so she suggested, "Ayu, why don't you carry her on your back? That way, your Uncle Qin and I can help you."

Ling Jieyu lifted Mu Tiantian a little higher, not wanting his physical strength to be questioned. He glanced at Xia Guiying and said, "Aunt Xia, I don't lift dumbbells for nothing."

Xia Guiying looked at Ling Jieyu's arms; the shirt was a little too small, and the shape of his pectoral muscles was clearly visible.

The way he hugs people makes his biceps particularly strong due to the force he exerts on his arms.

He looks like he has the strength of an ox.

Xia Guiying was no longer worried.

But as she followed Ling Jieyu down the stairs, she couldn't help but remind him from behind, "Ayu, go down the stairs slowly and be careful."

Her father-in-law was seriously injured after falling down the stairs, and she didn't want her daughter to fall and get injured right after being found.

Qin Dongyang followed behind Xia Guiying and said helplessly, "Aying, just trust Ayu's abilities. Talking like this will only distract him."

Xia Guiying thought it made sense, so she kept her mouth shut and dared not say anything more.

As Mu Tiantian went down the stairs, she felt even more buoyant, as if she was about to fall at any moment. She tightened her grip on Ling Jieyu's neck.

The embrace was full of masculine strength, giving her a familiar sense of security.

Fu Zhengting loves to carry her in his arms like a princess. She misses Fu Zhengting especially when she's feeling vulnerable, and she wonders if the person carrying her is actually Fu Zhengting.

She accepted it as such.

She kept murmuring, "Fu Zhengting, do you remember me?"

Xia Guiying and Qin Dongyang both heard Mu Tiantian murmur the name Fu Zhengting.

Both of their expressions changed.

After descending the stairs, Xia Guiying took a step forward, getting closer to Ling Jieyu, and raised her voice to remind him, "Ruohan, the person who hugged you wasn't Fu Zhengting, it was A-Yu, your Uncle Ling's son, Ling Jieyu. A-Yu hugged you when you were little and even bought you candy. You really liked playing with A-Yu."

Ling Jieyu frowned, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Did he ever buy candy for Mu Tiantian when she was little?

How come he doesn't remember?

It's true that when Mu Tiantian was little, she liked to follow him around and ask him to take her to play.

Mu Tiantian's head was spinning, and she couldn't hear what Xia Guiying was saying very clearly. She could only vaguely hear the words "when we were little".

Ling Jieyu carried her directly to the car and told Xia Guiying that the car keys were in his suit pocket.

Xia Guiying took out the car keys, and Qin Dongyang opened the back door, helping Ling Jieyu put the person inside.

She asked Sister Hong to go into the restaurant and pack some porridge and soup to take to the hospital for her father-in-law.

Seeing that Xia Guiying was dressed in thin clothes, Qin Dongyang thought it would be cold at night, so he followed Sister Hong inside, went back to the room, and brought out two coats.

One piece was given to Xia Guiying, and the other was draped over Mu Tiantian's shoulders.

He also brought a first-aid kit, which contained basic medicines and fever-reducing patches. He first tore off a patch and stuck it on Mu Tiantian's forehead to reduce her fever.

I touched Mu Tiantian's neck and found it was covered in cold sweat, so I wiped it off with a sterilized cloth.

Sitting next to Qin Dongyang, Xia Guiying felt very satisfied with his thoughtfulness and consideration.

She then realized that men can be changed.

It all depends on whether this man can make up his mind to change.

Seeing Mu Tiantian slumped against the seat, Qin Dongyang felt a pang of heartache and worry. He asked softly, "Ruohan, are you feeling better?"

After applying the fever-reducing patch, Mu Tiantian felt that her forehead was finally not so hot anymore. Hearing such a gentle voice, she thought it was Fu Zhengting again.

She forced her eyes open a crack and could barely make out that it was Qin Dongyang.

It turns out he was her biological father!

She thought she was dreaming, dreaming that Fu Zhengting had regained his memory and came to find her.

The unfamiliar fatherly love made her feel uncomfortable, but it also warmed her heart.

Not wanting her parents to worry, she opened her mouth and weakly replied, "I'm feeling better. I can hold on until I get to the hospital."

I pushed the back of my head back a little, tilting my face up even higher, which made me feel more comfortable.

From her angle, she could clearly see Ling Jieyu in the driver's seat.

It was that Aquaman!

She had initially thought it was Fu Zhengting hugging her.
