Though he could not control his heart beating for her, he did not want to forgive her.
After all, she had already abandoned him and chosen Bai Liyan.
Ji Yunhuan didn't dare touch him; she could only watch him from afar until he entered the room to sleep. Only then did she feel at ease. She said, "You rest first. I'll make dinner. If you need anything, just call downstairs. Don't move around yourself."
After speaking, Ji Yunhuan went back to cooking.
When dinner was ready and brought up, Qi Cheng was still coughing incessantly. She planned to call the doctor to see him after he finished eating.
After an entire afternoon, surely his anger would have subsided by now?
"Qi Cheng, dinner is ready," Ji Yunhuan said.
He lay on the bed, motionless.
She walked over, lifted the quilt, and saw him leaning against the pillow, struggling to endure, his head burning hot. She placed her hand on his forehead, then brought a wet towel to wipe his face.
