Chapter 147: Guarding Lu Jingqing

The doctor at the side glanced at Secretary Li by the door.

Only after seeing Secretary Li nod did the doctor start the IV drip.

Su Yun Jiao sat by Lu Jingqing's bedside, watching his face twisted in pain from the high fever.

Before, Lu Jingqing had felt to her like a lofty flower that could never fall.

Now it seemed Lu Jingqing was just an ordinary person who could get sick and suffer.

After the doctor finished giving Lu Jingqing the IV, Su Yun Jiao said to Secretary Li, "Little Li bro, I just want to stay here and watch over Brother Jingqing; you all go out first—I'll definitely take good care of him."

"Then I'll trouble you, Miss Su; I'll stay at the door, and if you need anything, just tell me directly."

Su Yun Jiao nodded and said, "Don't worry; if anything happens here, I'll let you know right away."

"Okay."

Secretary Li walked to the doorway to stand guard.

Su Yun Jiao watched Lu Jingqing still asleep on the bed, then took the wet towel beside her and wiped his forehead.

Seeing Lu Jingqing sound asleep, Su Yun Jiao simply kept watch beside him.

The sky gradually grew dark.

Lu Jingqing on the bed seemed to have regained some strength, and his expression had improved.

As soon as Su Yun Jiao lifted her eyes, she saw Lu Jingqing lying peacefully asleep on the bed, and she touched his forehead.

She found his forehead was no longer hot.

It seemed the IV was helping him recover quickly.

Upon realizing this, Su Yun Jiao hurried to the door and said to Secretary Li, who had been guarding there, "Lu Jingqing is already better; should we let the doctor come in for a check?"

"I'll have the doctor come take a look."

Secretary Li let the private doctor enter the room.

The doctor gave Lu Jingqing a quick check and found his body was indeed almost fully recovered.

"Not bad, quite good; he just needs to rest peacefully for a day, and there should be no serious problems."

Upon hearing that Lu Jingqing had no serious issues, Su Yun Jiao let out a sigh of relief.

"Then that's good."

Secretary Li felt a little surprised by Su Yun Jiao's reaction.

I never expected Miss Su to care so much about Boss Lu.

Su Yun Jiao looked at Lu Jingqing, still unconscious, and asked, "Just why hasn't he woken up yet?"

The doctor said, "He's still sleeping; it's best not to disturb the patient's rest."

"Then I'll stay here and watch over Brother Jingqing."

Su Yun Jiao sat on a small chair beside him, and Secretary Li said, "Miss Su, you've already been guarding here all night; it's better not to overwork yourself."

"It's fine; girls are always a bit more careful than boys. I'm here taking care of him, and if Brother Jingqing needs anything, I can provide it right away."

"Well… that's okay then."

Secretary Li lowered his head to check the time; he indeed should head home.

"Miss Su, my phone stays on 24/7; if anything happens, just give me a call right away."

"Okay."

Su Yun Jiao nodded.

Secretary Li also left the Lu family residence.

At that moment, the room held only Su Yun Jiao and Lu Jingqing.

Su Yun Jiao switched on a relatively dim desk lamp, then picked up her phone to do practice problems beside her.

Normally by this time she should already have been asleep.

But fearing Lu Jingqing might want water in the middle of the night, she decided to hold on a bit longer.

She could see it was already 2 a. m.

Only then did Su Yun Jiao finally feel she could no longer resist the drowsiness; she leaned against the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

When Lu Jingqing opened his eyes in the middle of the night, he saw Su Yun Jiao lying beside him, sleeping soundly, seemingly oblivious to any noises outside.

Seeing this, Lu Jingqing helplessly shook his head.

He had no idea what was up with this girl.

For no reason, she had run over to guard by his side.

Lu Jingqing pulled the blanket from beside him over Su Yun Jiao, then got out of bed himself and went to the side table to pour water.

While he was sound asleep, he could faintly hear Su Yun Jiao and Secretary Li's conversation.

That girl kept saying she would take care of him, but in the end he still had to do it himself.

He wished he had let Xiao Li stay here instead.

Lu Jingqing drank a cup of water, looking at Su Yun Jiao lying beside the bed, and still felt her sleeping like that was somewhat uncomfortable.

So Lu Jingqing walked over to Su Yun Jiao, gently lifted her up, and placed her on the bed.

Su Yun Jiao indeed turned over comfortably.

Seeing this, Lu Jingqing shook his head helplessly.

If he had known, he wouldn't have gotten sick.

In the end, this patient still had to look after someone else.

Su Yun Jiao was exhausted; her sleep at night was very deep.

When she opened her eyes again, the outside sky had already brightened.

Su Yun Jiao habitually turned over, but who knew that upon opening her eyes she wouldn't see Lu Jingqing.

"Lu Jingqing?"

Su Yun Jiao immediately got up from the bed and saw that there was no one around.

Only she was in the room.

Su Yun Jiao swung her legs over the bed, went outside, and only saw Liu Ma walking up with breakfast, saying: "Miss Su, why are you awake so soon? Boss Lu said to let you sleep a bit longer in bed."

Where is Brother Jingqing? Did he go to work?

There was something at the company, so Boss Lu went there first.

How could that be?

Su Yun Jiao frowned and said, "The doctor said that Brother Jingqing must rest at home during this period; how can he go out?"

Su Yun Jiao said this and then ran downstairs.

Liu Ma had originally wanted to chase after Su Yun Jiao, but who knew Su Yun Jiao walked too fast; by the time Liu Ma went downstairs, Su Yun Jiao had already left Jingyuan.

Su Yun Jiao directly took a taxi to the branch of L Group.

The front desk saw it was Su Yun Jiao and didn't stop her; Su Yun Jiao asked, "Sister, did Brother Jingqing come to work today?"

He had already come this morning; if Miss Su is here to see Boss Lu, I'll have someone arrange for you to go to the lounge, and after the meeting ends, I'll take you to see Boss Lu.

Su Yun Jiao didn't expect the meeting to start so soon, so she could only agree.

This Lu Jingqing really, he's clearly still sick but rushes to come to the company to work.

Su Yun Jiao followed the assistant upstairs, and the assistant specially arranged a lounge for Su Yun Jiao.

Su Yun Jiao waited in the lounge for about an hour before the door opened.

But the one who came was not Lu Jingqing, but Secretary Li.

Secretary Li said helplessly, "Miss Su, how did you come here?"

"Brother Xiao Li, Brother Jingqing's illness hasn't healed yet; how could you let him come to work?"

"I also advised him, but Boss Lu wouldn't listen; Boss Lu just had me come to pick you up and go home, telling you that the tutor would arrive in half an hour."
