Chapter 1297

"Oh, oh, oh!" Although Xiao Xiao Changkun felt a bit disappointed inside, he still pretended to have a sudden realization, patted his own head, and sighed: "Oh my, look at my brain. I was so busy reminiscing about the past that I actually forgot the important business."

After saying this, he hurriedly added: "Han Meiqing, you sit and wait for me first. I'll go get a wet towel for you!"

Han Han Meiqing hurriedly said: "There is a restroom on the first floor. It's right there if you turn left ahead."

"Okay!"

Seeing Xiao Xiao Changkun turn and head to the restroom, Han Han Meiqing finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, she knew Xiao Xiao Changkun's intentions very well.

To be honest, Xiao Xiao Changkun was not only her first man but also the man she had loved most in her entire life, so naturally, she had some fantasies and expectations about him in her heart.

However, she was, after all, a woman who had received a higher education and had always been very dignified and proper throughout her life.

She knew that although Xiao Xiao Changkun was now separated from Ma Lan, their marriage still existed. Based on this, she felt that no matter what, she could not make a principled mistake.

Although Ma Lan had shamelessly used her body to insert herself into the relationship between her and Xiao Xiao Changkun back then, she was unwilling to do the same thing.

Just as she was sighing in her heart, Xiao Xiao Changkun had already walked over with a dampened towel.

While Xiao Xiao Changkun helped her wipe her forehead with the wet towel, he said: "Han Meiqing, I bought you some dinner that is easier to digest. In a while, I'll help you back to the room to lie on the bed, and then I'll feed you something. Plus, since you've already taken fever-reducing medicine, I believe your fever will go down before long."

Han Han Meiqing nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Changkun. To be honest, I really am a bit hungry. I haven't eaten much all day."

Xiao Xiao Changkun hurriedly said: "Hey, why didn't you say so earlier? You should have told me the first moment you got sick. And look at you, if I hadn't asked you on WeChat, you wouldn't have told me the truth!"

Han Han Meiqing said: "I didn't want to trouble you either. I thought I could tough it out, but I didn't expect it to get worse and worse."

Xiao Xiao Changkun sighed and said with full affection: "In the future, if something like this happens again, you must notify me immediately. I will definitely rush over the first moment I know, do you understand?!"

Han Han Meiqing nodded and said gratefully: "Okay... I understand..."

Only then was Xiao Xiao Changkun satisfied, and he said: "By the way, Han Meiqing, where is your thermometer? Let me take your temperature again to see if it has improved."

Han Han Meiqing nodded, pointed to a thermometer on the coffee table, and said: "Before you came, I wanted to measure it again, but I really didn't have any strength in my whole body. I couldn't shake the mercury thermometer. Please help me shake it..."

Xiao Xiao Changkun hurriedly reached out to grab the thermometer, and while shaking it, he said with heartache: "Sigh, I really didn't know Paul was away on a business trip. Otherwise, I definitely would have come to see you sooner. You are sick at home alone; what would you do if something were to happen..."

As he spoke, he handed the shaken thermometer to Han Han Meiqing and said: "Hurry and tuck it in. Next time, buy an electronic thermometer so it's not inconvenient for you when you're alone."

As soon as he finished speaking, he remembered something and hurriedly changed his words: "Actually, don't buy an electronic one. Electronic ones aren't as accurate as mercury ones. If you can't shake it when you're alone, just find me, and I'll help you."

Han Han Meiqing nodded, moved.

She was naturally very gratified by Xiao Xiao Changkun's thoughtfulness, especially when she was sick; the sense of reliance in her heart suddenly sprouted from nowhere.

So, she said with a bit of shyness: "Thank you, Xiao Changkun."

Xiao Xiao Changkun said with a chuckle: "Do you still need to say thank you to me? Didn't you take care of me just like this back then?"

Upon hearing this, Han Han Meiqing's face turned even redder.

She said helplessly in a low voice: "That's all ancient history now. You shouldn't always keep bringing it up..."

"How can I not!" Xiao Xiao Changkun said with great excitement: "I couldn't forget what happened that day even if I died. For so many years, I've always wanted to tell you, but I never had the chance. Now that I've finally seized a chance, you won't even let me talk about it..."

Han Han Meiqing also said helplessly: "I'm not stopping you from talking about it... I just... I just..."

Having said this, Han Han Meiqing didn't know how to continue the topic, so she could only sigh and say: "Sigh, I just feel that since you came to my place so late, Ma Lan will definitely be angry if she finds out. Why don't you go back quickly to avoid Ma Lan being unhappy."

As soon as Xiao Xiao Changkun heard her mention Ma Lan, he snorted coldly and said: "Han Meiqing, don't mention that shrew in front of me. If it weren't for her back then, how could we two have ended up like this? We might have been married long ago and had two or three children!"

Han Han Meiqing smiled helplessly and said seriously: "Some things are fate, and it might not really be Ma Lan's fault..."

"Of course it's her fault!" Xiao Xiao Changkun said angrily: "All these years, whenever I think of you, I hate her so much my teeth itch!"

After saying this, Xiao Xiao Changkun waved his hand and said: "Alright, let's not mention her. Mentioning her is too much of a buzzkill!"

Han Han Meiqing gave a hum and said: "I estimate that if I rest on the bed for a while, I should be able to slowly recover. If you have things to do at home, go back early to avoid any complications."

Xiao Xiao Changkun didn't expect that she would be so eager to have him go home just after arriving at Han Han Meiqing's house.

This made Xiao Xiao Changkun feel somewhat hurt.

However, he quickly attributed all of this to Ma Lan, thinking to himself: "Han Meiqing wants me to go back, surely it's not because she doesn't want to deal with me, but because she's afraid of that shrew Ma Lan! That stinky woman Ma Lan, she really is a lingering ghost everywhere!"

Thinking of this, he snorted angrily and said: "I'm not leaving! Before you recover, I'm not going anywhere! So what if it's Ma Lan? I usually can't be bothered to deal with her at all. In my heart, she isn't even as important as the thermometer tucked under your armpit!"

Han Han Meiqing suddenly didn't know how to respond to him.

At this time, Xiao Xiao Changkun checked the time and hurriedly said: "Five minutes are up. Quickly give me the thermometer to look at."

Han Han Meiqing carefully took out the thermometer and handed it to Xiao Xiao Changkun.

Xiao Xiao Changkun took a look, breathed a slight sigh of relief, and said: "It's exactly 39 degrees now. You measured 39.2 degrees just now, right?"

Han Han Meiqing nodded.

Xiao Xiao Changkun said happily: "It dropped by 0.2 degrees. Although the drop isn't large, at least it has started to drop. I estimate that if you lie down, eat something, and get some good rest, you should be almost better. Come, I'll help you upstairs!"

Han Han Meiqing hurriedly said: "Why don't we not go through the trouble of going to bed to eat? I'll just eat a couple of bites here."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiao Changkun hurriedly waved his hand and said: "How can that work! Aren't you feeling well? Sitting here will only make you feel more uncomfortable the longer you sit. Come, I'll help you to bed and put two pillows behind your back; you'll be much more comfortable. As for eating, there's no trouble at all; I'll just feed you!"

Han Han Meiqing hesitated for a moment, and seeing Xiao Xiao Changkun's firm expression, she had no choice but to nod and say: "Then... then okay... help me to the elevator..."

Xiao Xiao Changkun was overjoyed and couldn't help but sigh to himself: "Haha, the opportunity has come!"
