“Time to take your medicine.” Wei Ting said.

After a long pause, Su Xiaoxiao slowly shook her head. 

“No.” she murmured. 

Wei Ting said, “You’re a doctor. How can you not take medicine when you’re sick?”

Su Xiaoxiao replied, “Not right now, I’m not.”

At the moment, she was just a patient.

Judging from her childish tone, she must be completely delirious from the fever… 

Wei Ting sat down by the bed. 

“How to make you take the medicine?”

Su Xiaoxiao remained silent.

Wei Ting looked at her intently. 

“You don’t expect me to feed it to you mouth-to-mouth, do you?”

Su Xiaoxiao instantly turned her head, staring at him in shock. 

“So it turns out you want to feed me mouth-to-mouth?”

Wei Ting: How did this suddenly become about what I want?

In the end, Su Xiaoxiao sat up and took the medicine.

But even after taking it, she refused to sleep. She lies with eyes wide open.

Wei Ting gave her a puzzled look. 

“Aren’t you sleepy?” 

Su Xiaoxiao: “Sleepy.”

Wei Ting: “Then why aren’t you sleeping?”

Su Xiaoxiao said stubbornly, “I don’t want to.”

Wei Ting sighed helplessly, “What’s wrong this time?”

Su Xiaoxiao said seriously, “The medicine has sedative properties. If I fall asleep, what if you try to do something? I definitely wouldn’t wake up.”

It was so late, and neither Father Su nor the children had returned yet. They must have decided to stay overnight outside.

Only the two of them were left at home. 

Was this girl really worried that he might take advantage of her while she was vulnerable?

Wei Ting let out a mocking laugh. 

“If I really wanted to do something, whether Dad and Ergou were home or not, I would do it anyway. Why would I wait until you’re sick? And like you said, with the medicine’s effects… if you’re completely unconscious… Where’s the fun in that?”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Who knows? Maybe that’s just your thing.”

Wei Ting: “.…..” 

Su Xiaoxiao was so drowsy that she kept yawning, and yet she still stubbornly refused to close her eyes.

Wei Ting was both exasperated and amused.

He extinguished the oil lamp on the table, lifted the quilt, and lay down beside her.

Su Xiaoxiao accused, “So you couldn’t wait!” 

Wei Ting stretched out an arm, pulling her into his embrace. 

“Yes, I couldn’t wait to take advantage of you. So you’d better fall asleep quickly.”

Su Xiaoxiao nuzzled into his embrace, finding a comfortable position, and hummed, “I knew it!”

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Wei Ting’s lips.

Holding her close, Wei Ting pressed his cool chin against her feverish temple and said, “Sleep.”

Su Xiaoxiao reached out her small, plump hand, giving his firm, sculpted abs a satisfied pat before drifting off to sleep.

Another light rain fell during the night.

Jing Yi stood at the entrance of Lihua Lane for a long time.

Bai Ze approached with an umbrella, holding it over him. 

“Young Marquis, it’s time to go back.”

Jing Yi, drenched by the rain, stood soaked through. Water droplets trailed down his youthful, handsome face.

“Bai Ze, why did she come to the capital?”

“This… I do not know.”

“Is Wei Ting planning to marry her?”

They had investigated this matter and roughly pieced together the sequence of events.

Wei Ting had been pursued by assassins sent by the Third Prince, sustaining severe injuries before being found and taken in by Miss Su’s father, Su Cheng.

Coincidentally, Miss Su had just been rejected by a scholar from the neighboring village.

Su Cheng then made Wei Ting a live-in son-in-law.

Wei Ting needed to recover from his injuries and evade the Third Prince’s pursuit, so a low-profile identity was essential. 

Becoming the ‘live-in son-in-law’ of the Su family was the perfect cover.

Bai Ze continued, “Perhaps he brought Miss Su to the capital out of gratitude for the Su family’s generosity in saving his life.”

Jing Yi asked, “Then why not take her directly to the Wei family?”

Bai Ze sighed, “Young Marquis, given Miss Su’s background, she could never become the daughter-in-law of the Wei family.”

She was hardly fit to be a concubine, and could only be an illegitimate mistress at most.
