Chapter 489 - 487: Secrets Forgotten by Time (VII)
Song Song’s energy was truly being drained, and coupled with being knocked out earlier and soaked in cold water for so long, she had actually started to feel feverish.Xiao Jinghuai realized this as soon as he picked her up, "Song Song, do you have a fever?"
"..."
These words finally eased the originally tense atmosphere a bit, and except for Qiao Yanjing, the others all gathered around. Fresh chapters posted on novel•fire.net
Xiao Jinghuai’s face was cold and stern, without saying a word, he carried Song Song out.
As they walked outside, they happened to run into Qiao Yu, who was hastily approaching. Seeing Xiao Jinghuai carrying Song Song, she was extremely uncomfortable—
But considering Xiao Jinghuai was also present, she tried to appear concerned, "Brother Jinghuai, what happened to Song Song?"
Xiao Jinghuai seemed to ignore her, directly passing by her as if his eyes could only see the woman in his arms.
Qiao Yu watched the straight back quickly departing, grinding her teeth in hatred, her hands clenching tightly, trembling.
——Xiao Jinghuai, Song Song, I will make you pay for everything that happened before, I definitely will!
...
Song Song, feeling dizzy, didn’t know where Xiao Jinghuai was taking her, just felt secure in his embrace.
He had a faint tobacco scent along with a gentle wild chrysanthemum fragrance, inexplicably bringing her peace.
Her chaotic mind gradually calmed down, unwilling to think about the day’s events, just wanting to stay quietly nestled in his arms.
Half an hour later, Song Song was carried by the man into the bathroom of a six-star hotel presidential suite.
The man frowned while running hot water in the bathtub, then turned to undress her—
His hand had just reached Song Song’s collar when she shrank back in fear, looking at him warily.
Xiao Jinghuai helplessly withdrew his hand, smiling faintly as he asked, "What does this mean? There’s no part of you I haven’t seen, hmm?"
Even though he said that, letting him undress her directly was still unacceptable—
Though he hadn’t refrained from undressing her during their passionate moments before, the circumstances were different, so they couldn’t be compared.
"I... I’ll do it myself."
Song Song clutched her collar tightly, clearly unwilling to give in.
Xiao Jinghuai’s eyes narrowed slightly, his originally intimidating aura subdued significantly at this moment, "Sure you want to do it yourself? You have a fever now, and it’s a high fever."
"Yes, I can." Although Song Song was suffering terribly from the high fever, rationality prevailed, she didn’t want to act impulsively without understanding his intentions, "Please... go out first!"
Xiao Jinghuai was concerned but her mind was made up, leaving him no choice, "I’ll be right outside, call me if you need anything."
"Alright—"
Once outside, Xiao Jinghuai contacted the Xiao Family’s private doctor to the hotel suite; such a severe fever can’t be dealt with by just taking some fever reducers.
After Xiao Jinghuai left the bathroom, Song Song began to find it difficult.
Struggling to undress and attempting to step into the spacious bathtub that could fit two or three people, she accidentally slipped, falling in with a splash.
The injured head suffered a second hit, causing her to cry out in pain—
The man standing outside immediately opened the bathroom door, seeing the girl floundering in the bathtub, he frowned and quickly walked over, effortlessly lifting her out with one hand.
"Stop trying to be brave!"
Though it was a reproach, its intention was filled with tenderness—
Song Song busily wiped the water from her face, paying no attention to the man’s already changed expression.
