Chapter 174 Nightmare

I was stunned, and my first reaction was indescribable frustration.

All Li Yunzhou's attentiveness and consideration were used to take care of Jiang's mother and daughter. He arranged everything for them, from the initial trip abroad for medical treatment to the current move to settle abroad.

For Li Yunzhou, the Jiang family's mother and daughter are his relatives.

And I am just his wife in name only, Xixi’s mother.

"It's fine. Just arrange it, there's no need to tell me." Hiding all my emotions, I responded indifferently.

I wanted to withdraw my hand, but he refused to let go. Instead, he tightened his grip on my hand tighter.

I raised my head in shock, met Li Yunzhou's deep eyes, and heard him whisper in my ear: "I will never see them again from now on."

Is he making a promise to me?

My eyes widened in shock and I wondered: "Why..."

I originally thought that Li Yunzhou would really wander between me and Jiang Jin like Su Yu said.

"Because there is only so much I can do, and the kindness I want to repay to Aunt Cheng is enough." He looked directly at me, his eyes sincere, and then said, "Moreover, because - me, you, and Xixi,

We are a complete family."

My heart seemed to be hit by something. I looked at him blankly, my eyes a little sore.

There was a voice in my heart that kept telling me not to be easily moved by his words.

But facing Li Yunzhou's dark eyes, I still fell uncontrollably.

I told myself: It only takes two months. After Cheng Jia is released from prison, he will take Jiang Jin to settle abroad. I have been waiting for Li Yunzhou for ten years, so what does it mean to wait for two more months?

After countless self-hypnosis sessions, I chose to believe in Li Yunzhou.

I stood up, put my head on his shoulder, looked at Xixi who was still building a snowman not far away, and said with a smile: "I haven't built a snowman in many years, do you want to try it with me?"

"Okay." Li Yunzhou agreed.

I took him to join Xixi. After looking at the puppies piled up by Xixi, I decided to pile up a kitten next to him.

Finally, we worked until early in the morning and everyone was very sleepy.

After washing up, I rested my head on Li Yunzhou's arm and fell asleep quickly.

That night, I had a dream that I was trapped on an island.

There was no one around, so I called Li Yunzhou and Xixi's names loudly, but no one responded to me.

In the middle of the night, I was huddled in the woods and heard footsteps approaching.

The next second, I actually saw Jiang Jin's gloomy face. She was hugging the lifeless Xixi, and her body became transparent little by little...

"Xi Xi!" I screamed, opened my eyes suddenly, and found that I was still lying on the bed.

Li Yunzhou was awakened by me and subconsciously hugged me into his arms.

He opened the bedside and comforted me softly: "What's wrong? Are you having a nightmare?"

I was in shock and wanted to speak, but my throat was so dry that my voice was very ugly: "I dreamed that Xixi was missing..."

Recalling the dream just now, my temples hurt suddenly, and I felt dizzy.

Li Yunzhou frowned when he heard this, and then touched my forehead with his hand.

"You have a fever!" Li Yunzhou got out of bed and immediately went to get a thermometer.

I also wanted to get up, but my body was so heavy that I could only continue to lie on the bed, thinking that I might have caught a cold from building a snowman last night.

If I had known earlier, I would have worn more clothes.

When Li Yunzhou found the thermometer and took the measurement, his brows became tighter and tighter.

I opened my mouth, but I couldn't speak. My head became more and more dizzy, as if I was about to burn out.

In a daze, I felt that Li Yunzhou was always by my side, sometimes feeding me hot water, and sometimes using a towel to physically cool me down.

I don’t know how long it took, but I seemed to see Qiao Xu coming.

He said something to Li Yunzhou, took out an acupuncture bag and pricked me a few times, and I fell asleep again with my eyelids closed.

When I woke up again, it was noon the next day.

Li Yunzhou was still standing by the bed, taking a nap with his head supported on one hand.

I stared blankly at his handsome face, and a warm current surged through my heart.

I reached out my hand and subconsciously wanted to touch the tip of his delicate nose. Unexpectedly, the movement of raising my hand woke him up. He suddenly opened his pair of deep starry eyes, and his eyes gradually became clear.

"Are you awake? How do you feel now?" He asked me as if he was relieved, and tested the temperature of my forehead with his hand again.

"Much better..." I said, my throat started to feel itchy and I couldn't help coughing, "Cough cough!"

Li Yunzhou frowned: "Is this much better?"

"My throat is still a little sore..." My voice was hoarse and I curled my lips and said, "If I had known, I wouldn't have made a snowman last night."

He snorted coldly and said extremely domineeringly: "Knowing the pain will help you remember better! From now on, you must take good care of your body. Without my permission, you can't just go to the courtyard to play at night from now on."

Is he treating me like Xixi to look after me?

I was stunned and said dissatisfiedly: "You are under house arrest!"

"Don't want to be put under house arrest? Then let's find another way." His handsome face suddenly came closer to mine, and he raised his eyebrows and said, "Actually, I can also make it impossible for you to get out of bed."

"..." It turns out that Li Yunzhou can be so sultry!

"Ahem!"

Outside the door, there was a cough.

Qiao Xu walked in.

I don’t know if he heard the conversation between Li Yunzhou and me? My face instantly turned red to the roots of my ears.

"Excuse me, I still want to give you a few words of advice about Miss Ruan's physical condition in person." Qiao Xu acted like a doctor and was very serious and professional.

I also sat up on the bedside and said seriously: "Doctor Qiao, please speak."

"Your constitution is very weak. The reason why you have a fever this time is because the wind and cold have invaded your body. Coupled with your own body cold, you stayed in the snow for too long last night, and the combination of several diseases destroyed the body's immunity." Qiao Xu warned.

He said, "Remember not to catch cold in the future, keep warm on weekdays, and take restorative Chinese medicine according to my course of treatment."

"How long will I continue to drink Chinese medicine?" I asked subconsciously. Thinking of the Chinese medicine Qiao Xu had prescribed before, the taste was hard to describe.

He said calmly: "Your physical condition will last at least half a year."

I was stunned for a while. According to what he said, I seemed to be seriously ill.

"I will supervise her to take it on time." Li Yunzhou took the words and urged Qiao Xu to prescribe medicine.

The domestic helper brought Qiao Xu's medicine box.

Qiao Xu searched inside and suddenly frowned and said, "I was in a hurry last night, so I forgot to add some medicinal ingredients." He looked at the prescription and wondered, "This medicinal ingredient is indispensable."

"Is it going to be used soon?" Li Yunzhou asked.

Qiao Xu nodded: "Well, after cooking the medicine later, it's best for her to take it as soon as possible."
