| ← Ch.012 | Ch.014 → |
Xie Ming was feeling too tired to move as she laid back on the bed and went into her slumber again.
She doesn't know if it was because of medication or what but she didn't feel like waking up.
She slept through the whole afternoon skipping her lunch. Yu Mei came to call her for lunch in the evening but she pretended to not hear and slept for the whole time.
Her heart was empty as she was not feeling to eat anything or face anyone. All her painful memories kept playing in her mind.
The whole afternoon went like this.
She laid on her bed and stared at the ceiling with blank expressions when she woke up in the evening.
Suddenly she heard a knock on the door.
Then a voice can be heard. It was Yu Mei.
"Miss, it's already 6 in the evening and you haven't eaten anything. Please come downstairs to have something."
"You're still weak and need more nourishment. You need to take your medicines as well. If the Master knows about it, then he will scold us. Please wake up."
When she heard her words, her stomach also grumbled at the name of food. She was hungry as she remembered that she didn't eat anything since the morning.
They went to the mall without having breakfast. Her stomach was growling like crazy.
She went to the bathroom to freshen and went downstairs to eat something.
When she came downstairs, there were lots of dishes spread on the table for her. It's like having late lunch and early dinner.
She started salivating smelling the delicious aroma of the dishes.
She sat on the chair and picked up her chopsticks to dig in when she heard a cold and heavy voice, " You're having lunch now? "
"Do you want to go hospital again or is it you're another trick to gain my attention?"Liwei who just came back from the office approached her towards the dining table in long strides.
When Liwei called butler in the evening to ask about her condition, the butler told him that she didn't come downstairs from her room for the whole afternoon and didn't have lunch either.
His expression became bitter. ' Is this woman wanted to die? '
'She just got discharged from the hospital and didn't take her lunch and medicine. Does she trying to gain my attention with her petty tricks. '
At this thought, his expression became dark when he remembered her old tactics to gain his attention and how she always picked a fight with him.
He stared at his phone for a while then called Gu Shao in.
After a while Gu Shao came in, " Is there anything you need sir?"
Liwei looked at him and said, " Cancel all the meetings of the evening. I am going home." he said while picking up his coat.
Gu Shao got baffled and stuttered, " Sir but there is an important dinner meeting at 7 pm and we can't cancel that one."
Liwei looked at him and said, " Then you can attend it. I don't care how you manage it, but I need to go, so handle it well. Also, give me details of it tomorrow." he said as he patted Gu Shao his shoulder.
After Liwei left the office, Gu Shao was speechless, ' Is this my company? Why the hell I have to substitute in the meeting in his place?'
Liwei casually sat at the chair beside her as the maid prepared cutlery for him as well.
' I don't have the energy to deal with him. Can't I eat one meal a day in peace?' she pursed her lips when she heard his unreasonable words.
" Why would I skip lunch just to gain your attention. When I know that you don't care even if I die. And do you care if I eat or not? When being hospitalized for three months cannot gain your attention than can skipping the lunch do that?"
By hearing her words, his expression turned ugly, ' I canceled all the meetings just to check on her if she is sick? But she doesn't even value my concern'.
He glared at her and wanted to say something but was stopped when he heard her cough.
He looked at her, she was choking on her food and coughing hard, even her face became pale.
Forgetting his anger, he started patting her back. 𝙛𝘳𝒆𝒆𝒘e𝗯𝒏o𝘷𝚎𝗹 - 🅽🅽novel
After a while, when she felt fine she looked at him, and his expressions were calm and filled with concern.
She ate her late lunch and he also joined because he didn't eat much during the lunch meeting.
After that, they went to the living room for some tea.
It was the first time that they are spending time together.
While drinking tea, he looked at her. She was sitting up straight with her hand on her lap and in other holding her teacup, she was drinking tea with such elegance that even servants were surprised seeing her like this.
She never had this kind of elegance. This kind of aura, what Mistress of Jin Family needed.
Xie Ming was in deep thought when she finally spoke, " Liwei?"
" Emm" he hummed while taking a sip of his tea.
" Do you hate me that much, that you wouldn't have cared even if I had died?" she asked while looking at him.
He froze when he heard her words. He turned to look at her and saw her face which was blank devoid of any expressions.
He couldn't read her thoughts and stared at her for a while.
