Chapter 337

Fang Chixia spoke first, “Go, I’ll take a cab back!”

With that, she spun around with not the least bit of reluctance.

Xiao Zuo witnessed everything and couldn’t resist shaking his head.

Luo Yibei also frowned.

After Fang Chixia left, they went straight back to Luo Yibei’s family home.

Having been gone for so long, she took a lone ride home. But before her ass could warm her sit, the telephone line began to ring.

The call was from the housekeeper of the Luo family, who called her before, so she was no stranger to his voice.

“Hello, Miss Fang.” The housekeeper greeted respectfully.

“Excuse me, can I help you?” Fang Chixia answered in surprise.

“This is the case, young master Xiao Zuo is sick again, so I would like to ask Miss Fang to come over.” The housekeeper reported as if in defeat.

“He’s sick again?” Fang Chixia asked doubtfully.

She has just been separated from Xiao Zuo, who was alive and kicking on the plane.

“Yes, so we’ll have to trouble Miss Fang again.” The housekeeper responded quite calmly.

Fang Chixia didn’t think much and just associated it to children having poor immunity, or may have been due to their sudden return from abroad, where he couldn’t adapt quickly to the temperature nor the time difference.

“Okay, I’ll be right there.” She hang up the phone and drove out of the house to the Luo’s residence.

By the time she arrived, Xiao Zuo was lying on the bed in his room, surrounded by many servants and the Luo family, all of whom were worried.

“What the hell is going on? Is it serious?” Luo Enqi’s brows were tightly furrowed and once again asked the doctor sitting besided the end of the bed worriedly.

The doctor actually found nothing wrong so he could only make up a vague excuse for the time being, afraid of being scolded by Luo Enqi. “Young master Zuo is only sick due to the sudden change in the environment and his body couldn’t adapt quickly to it. This effect varies from person to person. There could be severe vomiting, diarrhea and dizziness which could last for a few weeks if serious. If not, he’ll be up and about in a day or two.

Xiao Zuo accompanied his diagnosis with a faint “ow” and then a “groan” looking much like he was in pain.

“Then hurry and prescribe medicine. Think of what can alleviate the child’s pain!” Luo Enqi urged.

The doctor sighed helplessly. He opened his medicine box and eventually fished out a few pieces of vitamin tablets. The name of the vitamins on the paper packaging could not be seen.

Xiao Zuo gave the doctor a look and quickly withdrew his gaze, then continued to groan with a few “ouch” and “ow.”

His head hung so low that the crowd could only hear his voice, but see nothing of his expressions.

Fang Chixia who was staring fixedly at him, captured his little movements. Her eyebrows snapped together and immediately became suspicious.

Was he really sick?

Luo Yibei himself was aware of Xiao Zuo’s deception, but didn’t move a muscle like Fang Chixia, instead he sat there quietly.

He seemed to know what was going on, but he wasn’t planning on exposing him.

The doctor left after prescribing a few pills. The rest were driven away by Xiao Zuo on the grounds of wanting to rest.

For a while, all that was left in the room was Luo Yibei and Fang Chixia.

Xiao Zuo waited until the door was closed before lifting the sheets, sweeping away the previous morbidity in the bed. In a cheerful voice, he exclamed, “Xia Xia, you’re here!”

Fang Chixia: “…”





Chapter 338

“You’re just pretending?” Fang Chixia widened her eyes in astonishment. She approached him and cuffed him on the head. “You even go far as feigning illness!”

Xiao Zuo smiled sheepishly and averted his gaze elsewhere as if he did nothing wrong.

“The reason!” Fang Chixia demanded.

“I want you to stay here!” Xiao Zuo looked up at her and answered honestly.

Fang Chixia was nonplussed as she has never expected such an answer.

Luo Yibei, who was sitting by unperturbed made no sound from beginning to end, and even seemed to condone Xiao Zuo’s behavior.

He has the semblance of knowing everything.

Fang Chixia felt that the Xiao Zuo was being absurd. What she couldn’t understand was why Luo Yibei was cooperating with such childishness.

How could Xiao Zuo little tricks escape his discerning eyes?

Fang Chixia couldn’t figure him out. She patted Xiao Zuo on the head, “I have my own home so I can’t live here. Next time, don’t ever do this.”

“It’s alright, where do you live? I’ll go with you.” Xiao Zuo tried to negotiate.

Fang Chixia was caught short.

Where else does she live except with Luo Yibei?

Xiao Zuo silently considered her reaction then decided to rub his stomach. Then he followed with a puckered face. “Actually, it’s not entirely a sham. We’ve just returned home, so I really feel bad. I really feel uncomfortable, I want to vomit. Ohhh, it hurt!”

What he was saying was actually true, and the look on his face shows it.

“Stop playing tricks to fool me!” Fang Chixia was unmoved. She smacked him on the head once more and swung around ready to leave. When she passed Luo Yibei, he grabbed her wrist and dragged her back.

Fang Chixia froze all over.

First, she glanced at the hand he captured and then looked furtively at Xiao Zuo. Her conditional reflex was to retrieve her hand but Luo Yibei just wouldn’t let go.

“Stay here!” He looked her in the eye, the sparkles in his were eyes quite clear, like the night sky where the clouds and mist were swept away layer after layer, and the moon could be seen at a glance.

Fang Chixia evidently found his words surprising, she turned rigidly to face him.

“This kid is handed over to you.” Luo Yibei worded briefly, loosened her hand and left the room.

Fang Chixia followed his back still couldn’t wrap her mind around what he meant for her to do.

He definitely believed that she was harboring other intentions when she married him. So why did he have to drag her to their house again and again?

Xiao Zuo watched her on the side and couldn’t help drop a word, “My brother is afraid you’d be lonely living alone in such a huge place. Being alone in such a huge villa, you’re really pitiful!”

He said so flippantly but it was purely his own opinion. At the end of his reasoning, there was still quite a bit of the taste whenever Luo Yibei calls her “pitiful.”

Fang Chixia was stumped for words. She stared at him sideways then extended a hand for another cuffing. “This kid, what do you know? Children should read more books and watch cartoons.”

“That’s too naive. I’m already past those.” Xiao Zuo replied haughtily as if the mere thought of her advise was beneath his dignity.

“Hurry up and eat. Be careful or you’ll end up not having even the strength to pretend being sick!” Fang Chixia was speechless. She stuffed a bowl of porridge in his hand which was left by a maid.
