My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection

Chapter 380 - 005: My fiancée will misunderstand.

After saying that, Ye Lingran felt that it might be easily misunderstood, so she added, "Um... in your current state, you can’t handle work matters. So, just now, I took the liberty of having Chai Jie and Shao Min postpone your schedule for today. If there’s anything that absolutely can’t be postponed, I let them handle it on your behalf.""Yeah, I heard that at the time."

"You were awake then?"

"I was awake when Chai Jie and the others came in."

"Then why didn’t you say anything at the time?"

"Didn’t you arrange it pretty well? Besides, I wasn’t feeling too well at the time, tired, didn’t want to open my eyes."

Ye Lingran had nothing to say, so she pushed the meal cart aside: "You should sleep! I’ll call you when the nurse brings the medication. I’m going out for now."

"Are you going back to your room?"

"I’m going to get my phone and I’ll come back later. You sleep!" She had rushed over just now, still wearing a pair of cotton slippers on her feet, just a knit top and a pair of slightly flared jeans, without her coat or phone.

"Okay."

After he responded, he closed his eyes, and Ye Lingran pushed the dining cart out of the bedroom, closing the door behind her. She ate a little of the breakfast on the cart, then put it aside, returned to her room to get her phone and laptop, and started working on the sofa outside his room.

Around 9:30 in the morning, the nurse brought in the medication, and his two bottles of intravenous fluid were finished. During the process of removing the needle, he didn’t wake up. The nurse used an electronic thermometer to take his temperature, which was 38.7 degrees, clearly lower than in the morning.

"This is a three-day supply of medication, to be taken three times a day, morning, noon, and night, half an hour after meals. Don’t forget, Doctor Gao will come back in three days for a follow-up. Be careful with the wound, don’t let it get wet, Doctor Gao reminded before leaving, so I won’t say more." After handing her the medication, the nurse specifically reminded her and then left the room.

Ye Lingran looked at the bag of medication in her hand, walked to the door to check on him, saw that he was still asleep, and decided not to disturb him. She returned to the living room, sat cross-legged on the carpet, and continued working.

About twenty minutes later, a sudden, crisp ringing emanated from the room. Ye Lingran turned her head toward it, hesitated slightly, then put down her work and went into the room. She found it was the phone placed next to his pillow that was ringing. Seeing he hadn’t woken up, she glanced at the caller ID and saw it was Shao Min calling. She looked at the sleeping Yun Qi, whose complexion wasn’t very good, hesitated, then picked up the phone, walked a few steps to the door, and answered: "Hello? Shao Min, he just finished his IV and is sleeping, not awake yet. Is there something urgent?"

"Ah, Miss Ye! It’s like this: tonight, President Yun was supposed to have dinner with Miss Ding, but since President Yun is unwell today, I just called Miss Ding to cancel the appointment. However, Miss Ding got angry and insisted on visiting President Yun. I think... she might be on her way now, so I wanted to give President Yun a heads-up." Shao Min spoke with particular caution, as if afraid Ye Lingran would misunderstand: "Of course, I tried my best to dissuade her, but Miss Ding wouldn’t listen, so... I had no choice."

"Okay, I understand. I’ll let him know later." Ye Lingran smiled lightly, replying as she didn’t know who this Miss Ding was.

"Alright, then I’ll hang up for now! Miss Ye."

"Okay."

After hanging up, Ye Lingran returned to the bedside with the phone, placed it back where it was, and looked at his sleeping face. She hesitated, then reached out to feel his forehead, finding it still a bit warm. After contemplating, she decided to softly call out: "Yun Qi... Yun Qi..."

Hearing her familiar call, Yun Qi stirred slightly, his eyes struggling to open. When he finally opened them, he saw a beautiful and gentle face. He subsciously raised his hand, discovering the needle on the back of it had been removed, and sat up.

Seeing this, Ye Lingran immediately reached out to support him, asking worriedly, "What’s wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"

"No." Yun Qi shook his head: "I want to drink some water."

"Then wait a moment, I’ll get it for you." Ye Lingran said and quickly trotted out, returning with a cup of warm water, which she handed to him. After watching him drink it, she asked, "Do you want more?"
