Chapter 368

~4 min read 746 words

It was already past ten when Rong Ci finished.

It was already autumn, and the temperature had dropped quite a bit due to the rain these two days. Perhaps she had sat in front of the computer for too long and caught a cold from the wind. When she closed the computer and got up to prepare to shower, her body suddenly felt cold, and she sneezed several times in a row.

After showering and coming out of the bathroom, she even started to have a runny nose, and her throat had a dry, burning sensation.

Realizing she might have caught a cold, and at this time of night, the old mansion's servants had long since slept, Rong Ci went downstairs herself to cook some ginger soup to drive away the cold.

After she finished the ginger soup and just returned upstairs, she heard Feng Tingshen's voice: "Not asleep yet?"

Rong Ci turned her head, "Preparing to."

She had just drunk the ginger soup and found some cold medicine downstairs to take. Her body warmed up a bit, and she felt much better.

But she was quite tired now and had no energy to say too much to him, saying: "I'm going back to sleep first."

After speaking, she turned to return to Feng Jingxin's room and fell asleep not long after.

She didn't know how long she slept, but Rong Ci seemed to hear Feng Jingxin's voice in her muddled state.

"Mom, you are so hot."

Not long after, there were footsteps of others in the room. Rong Ci wanted to open her eyes, but her head was heavy, and she quickly fell into a muddled sleep.

When she woke up, she only felt a headache and weakness, and her throat was burning severely.

She wanted to get up to drink some water. Just as she got up from the bed, someone came over to support her, "Drink some water first?"

Rong Ci paused, only then opening her eyes.

The person standing in front of her was none other than Feng Tingshen.

At this time, Feng Tingshen had already turned to pour her water. Not long after, he poured a glass of water and handed it to her hand. Rong Ci took it subconsciously and was about to thank him when she realized her throat was so uncomfortable that it was hard to speak.

She had just drunk two sips of water when she saw Feng Tingshen turn to answer the internal line in the room, saying: "Send the porridge up."

After drinking two sips of water, her brain finally cleared up a bit. When Rong Ci put the cup on the bedside table, she was stunned again.

Only then did she realize that she was... not in Feng Jingxin's room, but in Feng Tingshen's room.

Feng Tingshen was probably taking care of her. A book was spread open on a small table beside her.

She looked at it and was about to withdraw her gaze when Feng Tingshen put down the phone and said: "It was 39.8° ten minutes ago. People have already been sent to invite Old Zhang over. He should be able to arrive in a few minutes."

Hearing this, Rong Ci wanted to speak but noticed the sky outside the window was still dim.

It seemed it was still raining.

Thinking of this, she suddenly remembered she still had a meeting this morning and couldn't help but ask: "What time is it now?"

"Eight twenty."

Quite early.

She was just relieved when she heard Feng Tingshen ask: "Need your phone?"

Rong Ci: "... Hmm."

Feng Tingshen got up and left the room to help her get her phone from Feng Jingxin's room.

At this time, the butler also brought the porridge up for her.

Rong Ci wanted to get up to wash up when she suddenly heard a roaring sound from outside.

She paused, and before she could react, the butler smiled and said: "It should be Old Zhang who has arrived."

After speaking, seeing Rong Ci's confused look, he smiled and said: "Although the rain has lessened outside and the water has receded, the roads haven't been cleared yet and cars can't pass. But you have a very high fever, and Tingshen was worried about you, so he contacted someone to use a helicopter to pick Old Zhang up to see you."

After speaking, the butler still had things to be busy with, exhorted her two sentences, and turned to leave.
