Two-Faced Husband, Have Some Decency!

Chapter 375: Is It Nice of You to Treat A Sick Person Like This?

Upon hearing that, Qi Chenglin was even more curious. He rued not being able to tear it open immediately.

Qi Youxuan was also carrying his own gift. It was thoroughly wrapped in wrapping paper and the insides could not be seen at all. Ruan Danchen did not let him open it, causing him to feel incredibly ticklish in his heart.

After entering the house, the boy carried his gift and was about to enter his room. Ruan Danchen, however, stopped him and said, ”Wait a minute.”

Qi Youxuan had just halted his footsteps, and before he could even speak, the present was whisked away by Ruan Danchen. She placed it under the Christmas tree in the living room and said, ”You can only open it after midnight tomorrow.”

The boy’s expression turned gloomy after hearing that, but Ruan Danchen simply smiled and said, ”Didn’t you say you wanted a Christmas present? Since you placed so much importance on Christmas, you should open your gift according to Christmas tradition.”

Qi Youxuan, ”…’

He felt that his father was a bad influence on Aunt Ruan.

”You won’t secretly come out in the middle of the night to tear open your gift, right? If you do that, I won’t buy gifts for your next year,” Ruan Danchen remarked.

”…” Qi Youxuan sighed and drooped his shoulders. ”I know. I won’t open it.”

He originally had that exact intention in mind, but it seemed that Ruan Danchen took advance precautions against him.

Qi Youxuan sighed helplessly. Aunt Ruan seemed to understand him even more at that time!

…

…

Later that night, Ruan Danchen took a bath and noticed that she was feeling unwell. She could not exert too much energy and her entire body felt lethargic to the bone.

She finally dragged her body onto the bed. Qi Chenglin had his laptop on his lap and was dealing with work, but when he turned, he saw Ruan Danchen’s face looking exceptionally red.

He closed his laptop and turned to her. ”Are you sick?”

Ruan Danchen shook her head. ”I don’t know, but my head hurts all of a sudden. I feel a bit cold too. Maybe it’s because I just finished my bath.”

Qi Chenglin frowned and reached out to touch her forehead. ”It’s so hot. Do you have a fever?”

He postulated that the cause was her rushing here and there. She must have been tired, and her illness probably worsened because her body was unaccustomed to the temperature in the northern district, which was much lower than in the city.

”Wait here. I’ll measure your temperature,” Qi Chenglin said and hurried down to get an ear thermometer and some medicine to reduce her fever.

He measured her temperature and found it to be 37.3 degrees. It was not a high fever, fortunately, so he gave her some medicine and added another layer of blanket so she could sweat more.

Ruan Danchen pulled the blanket to her chin and the remaining parts of her exposed body were incredibly red. Qi Chenglin could no longer focus on his work. He turned to hug her, but to his surprise, she carried her two blankets and got off the bed.

”Where are you going?” Qi Chenglin pressed her back down and covered her firmly with the blanket. ”You’re cold right? You keep switching between hot and cold. Do you want the fever to get worse?”

”I’m worried I’ll infect you. I’m going to sleep in the guest room for one night,” Ruan Danchen’s voice was muffled from the fever, and Qi Chenglin locked her on the bed to the point where she could no longer move.

”Stop making a fuss. If it really infected me, it would’ve happened long ago. Other than the few sneezes this afternoon, I’m all okay after eating the medicine. I don’t have any flu,” Qi Chenglin said. He made sure to wrap her even tighter in the blanket before switching off the lights and hugging her tightly.

Ruan Danchen stayed put obediently and leaned into his embrace. She heard his rich voice resounding from the top of her head. ”If you have a fever, it’ll get better if you sweat it out. Grandma and Great-Grandma used the same method when Youxuan had fevers.”

She could not resist smiling. Although the fever made her feel cold, her heart was filled with warmth.

The two layers of blankets, coupled with the warm air inside the house, caused Ruan Danchen to begin sweating soon after she slept. Her enjoyable slumber meant that she had no sense of control over her actions, and she moved to push away the sheets.
