"Jiang Ci, Jiang Ci. . ."
"Daddy, Daddy. . ." Little Haohao, with a mouth full of cream, was so scared that he froze in his chair. Then, his little mouth pouted and he immediately burst into tears.
Su Yue looked at the red spots that appeared on Jiang Ci's face, and even on his neck, hands, and other exposed skin. It seemed like an allergic reaction. She remained calm and said, "Little Haohao, don't cry. You stay here with your dad, and I'll go find someone."
Jiang Haoyan's eyes widened and turned red. When he heard Su Yue's words, he sobbed and pouted, "Daddy, don't die. Haohao will stay with you."
Su Yue knew that the little guy was just scared, but she didn't have time to comfort him. She patted his little head and immediately ran out to find someone.
The party had already begun. As the birthday boy, Jiang Muhang and Jiang Xuan were dancing in the center of the hall, attracting the attention of everyone present.
Su Yue casually pulled a servant and asked, "Where is the butler?"
The servant didn't recognize Su Yue at first and said, "The butler seems to be with the madam." Then, she looked at Su Yue's cold expression and pointed, "The madam is in the rest area."
When Su Yue found the butler Zhang Shu, he was reporting something to Song Xiaoqing.
"Zhang Shu, Jiang Ci fainted. Send someone to take him to the hospital." Su Yue walked over quickly.
"What's going on?" Song Xiaoqing looked at Su Yue in front of her, surprised that her daughter-in-law had lost so much weight again.
Su Yue took a deep breath and said, "Mother, Jiang Ci is in trouble." She quickly described Jiang Ci's symptoms and turned to the butler, "Uncle Zhang, send someone to take Jiang Ci to the hospital immediately."
"Yes," Uncle Zhang quickly agreed.
"Wait a minute," Song Xiaoqing stopped Uncle Zhang." There are guests outside now. Be careful not to let them know, so as not to affect the progress of the banquet."
"I understand, Madam," Uncle Zhang quickly left.
Su Yue looked at Song Xiaoqing, who was calm and composed, feeling extremely uncomfortable. Jiang Ci was in trouble, but she was sitting calmly, even considering whether it would affect the banquet. She really didn't know that a banquet was more important than her son's life.
No, she was worried about Jiang Muhang.
Song Xiaoqing was too biased towards her son. Although she knew it was the male lead's halo, she still felt unfair for Jiang Ci.
"Don't worry, Jiang Ci just has pollen allergies," Song Xiaoqing explained when she saw Su Yue's tense face." He has had pollen allergies since he was a child. Did you add any flowers or plants to the cake he ate before he fainted?"
Su Yue was shocked. "No, I know he has pollen allergies. How could I add those things?" She was in charge of the cake and there was no way it could have gone wrong.
Song Xiaoqing looked at her.
She didn't like Jiang Ci, her eldest daughter-in-law, and she knew it. Now that Jiang Ci had eaten the cake she made and had an accident, she found it hard to believe Su Yue's words." I know, you go to the hospital to take care of Jiang Ci, and I will investigate this matter thoroughly."
"What about you, mother. . ."
"I still need to attend to the banquet here. If there's anything, call me, okay?" Song Xiaoqing pressed her forehead and her well-maintained face showed signs of fatigue.
"Okay." Su Yue didn't say anything else and left quickly.
In the hospital, Jiang Ci still hadn't woken up.
"Daddy, when will he wake up?" Jiang Haoyan wrinkled his little nose, his big eyes moist with tears.
"Soon. The doctor just said there's nothing to worry about, little Haoyan." Su Yue picked up Jiang Haoyan and sat him on the chair by the bed.
On the hospital bed, the red spots on Jiang Ci's face had not yet faded. His skin was already pale, and the red spots on his face were particularly noticeable, along with the scar on the left side of his face, making it almost unbearable to look at. The doctor said that the red spots on Jiang Ci's face would take at least a week to disappear.
Little Haohao looked at the red dots on Jiang Ci's face, and his small white face wrinkled up in worry. He asked, "Will Daddy be in pain?"
"No, he will just look ugly," Su Yue pinched his small face.
"Daddy is not ugly, Daddy is the most handsome," Little Haohao's big eyes were filled with tears, and he turned his head to glare at Su Yue.
"Okay, your Daddy is the most handsome," Su Yue looked at his dry lips, "Are you thirsty? I'll pour you a glass of water."
The little guy pursed his lips, "Mm, Haohao is a little thirsty."
"Then I'll pour you some water."
Su Yue put the little guy down and got up to pour a glass of warm water. When she turned her head, she saw that Jiang Ci's thin lips were also dry. She found a cotton swab in the cabinet, dipped it in water, and bent down carefully to wipe it for him.
Because they were very close, even though Jiang Ci had many red dots on his face, it didn't stop Su Yue from admiring his delicate features. She didn't know how this man grew up, but his thin lips were lightly colored and beautifully shaped, making people want to kiss him. His nose was straight and not like some male celebrities who needed to have their noses done to make them higher.
Her gaze fell on his eyelashes, which were black and thick, clearly defined. It was a pity that he was blind. He clearly had a pair of beautiful eyes, but they were destroyed.
Suddenly, those beautiful eyes opened. Inside was pitch black, with no end in sight.
Su Yue's heart jumped in fear at the man's unfocused gaze, and she whispered softly.
"You. . . you're awake?" Su Yue quickly withdrew her hand.
Upon hearing Su Yue's words, little Haohao ran over with his cup, but he was too short to see Jiang Ci clearly while standing at the bedside.
Jiang Ci furrowed his brow. He remembered fainting not long after eating the cake Su Yue had made.
"Jiang Ci, how are you feeling? Is the itching still there?" Su Yue spoke gently.
Jiang Ci closed his eyes. His eyes were no longer itchy, but his body was still tingling with an itch that made him want to scratch.
"No, you can't scratch it. Your face is already ruined. If you scratch it, it will leave a scar. Do you still want your face?" Su Yue quickly grabbed Jiang Ci's arm.
"I don't need you to worry about it!" Jiang Ci's voice was hoarse and cold. He impatiently shook off Su Yue's hand. He used too much force, and Su Yue's hand hit the edge of the cabinet, causing her bones to knock against it. Su Yue was startled by the pain and her eyes immediately turned red.
She was most afraid of pain!
"I won't stop you, scratch as much as you want." Su Yue covered her hand back, the skin on it had turned red. She looked at him and explained, "Jiang Ci, I made the cake, but I didn't mean to harm you. I don't know why you had an allergic reaction after eating it."
Jiang Ci lay still and ignored her words.
"If I wanted to harm you, I wouldn't be so stupid as to choose such a foolish way." Su Yue frowned and couldn't help but rub her hand back.
"You've always been stupid!" Jiang Ci's clear and magnetic voice was full of ridicule.
"You. . ." Su Yue bit her lip, "If I harm you, what good would it do for me?"
Jiang Ci's eyebrows were cold, his face turned to her, expressionless, "Perhaps you thought that if you killed me, you could be with Jiang Muhang. Didn't you also drug him before?"
Su Yue was stunned. When she came over, she happened to witness the original owner being caught for drugging someone. This was a fact, and she had no way to defend herself. But that didn't mean she had to take the blame this time.
"That was before, I admit that I was confused at the time and did such a thing. But it doesn't prove that I will harm you this time." Su Yue looked at the man's particularly scary face, even though he had no expression, her voice was soft and low, she said seriously, "And, I don't like Jiang Muhang anymore."
"Do you think I would believe your words?" Jiang Ci tugged at the corner of her mouth, her voice low. She had done so many foolish things for Jiang Muhang, don't think he didn't know.
During this time, she had coaxed him not once or twice, although she had a purpose, she had also put in effort. He didn't need to be moved, at least don't doubt her before there was evidence.
"I have already had someone take the cake for testing, then you will know whether or not I have harmed you." Su Yue lowered her head and looked at her hand, which had just healed from the last scratch. It would probably be bruised tomorrow after being bumped again.
"Even if the cake is not the problem, it must be because of you that I had an allergic reaction and fainted." Jiang Ci sneered.
"Are you saying that you believe I had the intention to harm you?" Su Yue frowned.
"No."
Jiang Ci closed her eyes, "Whether you had the intention or not, it's because of you. The result is that I am lying in a hospital bed now." In his opinion, whether it was intentional or not, it was the same.
He realized that during this time, he had been too indulgent towards Su Yue, to the point where she had the ability and opportunity to harm him.
Su Yue stared at Jiang Ci's face, but the other party closed his eyes, obviously not wanting to talk to her anymore.
Little Haohao stood quietly by the bed. He couldn't understand what his father and Su Yue were saying, but he knew that his father had fainted because he had eaten the cake made by this woman. At this moment, he pouted his little mouth and looked at her with a pair of big eyes, alertly.
Su Yue looked at the sky outside the window, and the darkness had completely fallen. She glanced at Jiang Haoyan and then opened the door of the ward and left.
The ward became quiet.
Little Haohao held Jiang Ci's blanket with his small hand and shouted a little fearfully, "Daddy. . ."
"Who brought me to the hospital?" Jiang Ci spoke.
Little Haohao understood his father's question. He put his chubby little hands on the bed and wrinkled his small eyebrows. He answered in a childish voice, "A bad woman found someone to bring Daddy here. Haohao is scared." He knew that his father was sick.
"I'm not dead, what are you afraid of?" Jiang Ci fell silent for a moment." A boy should be brave."
The little guy's big eyes were moist, and he nodded his little head hard. "Um, Haohao is brave."
The ward fell into silence again.
After a while, the door was opened again. Little Haohao looked tiredly and saw Su Yue carrying several bags in her hand. She walked to the cabinet, put down the things in her hand, and before she opened the lid, the aroma of food came. "Little Haohao, it's time to eat."
She put one of the small lunch boxes on the coffee table next to the sofa." This is yours, come and eat."
The little guy hesitated as he looked at her, wanting to go over but also not wanting to. He rubbed one short leg against the other, and even his little eyebrows were furrowed in confusion.
"There's chicken legs, sweet and sour pork, and steamed egg with shrimp that you love. Aren't you hungry?" Su Yue could tell he was being stubborn.
Little Haohao covered his chubby little stomach with both hands. He felt like there were two little people fighting inside his belly. Haohao was hungry.
Su Yue went over and took his little hand, leading him to the sofa. "Sit here and finish your food. If you don't eat, you'll get sick and won't be able to take care of your dad."
"Haohao will take care of Dad." Little Haohao pouted.
"Yes, hurry up and eat." Su Yue put the spoon in his little hand.
Little Haohao was really hungry. He only had a few bites of cake during the day and didn't even eat lunch because he was worried about his dad. Now he had chicken legs and sweet and sour pork that he liked. He licked his lips and started eating.
Su Yue smiled, she had won over the little one, but there was still the big one.
The big one was harder to coax.
She walked over to the bedside and started preparing the food. The tempting aroma of the food spread throughout the ward. Su Yue pursed her lips and looked at Jiang Ci, who had his eyes closed. She didn't want to bother with him. He had a bad temper, was ugly and blind, and now he even suspected her of having ill intentions. However, when she thought of the birthday banquet still going on in the villa while the hospital room was cold and empty, Su Yue felt that even if she was angry, most of it had dissipated.
Moreover, since coming to the hospital, except for her having the servant bring her clothes over, no one from the Jiang family had come. It seemed like they didn't care about Jiang Ci's life or death. As his wife, even if she was so angry that she left, she didn't know how this man and little Haohao would survive in the hospital.
Su Yue pursed her lips. She would investigate whether Jiang Ci's sudden allergy was caused by her.
Even if Jiang Ci wanted to blame her, she would still clear her name.
"Jiang Ci, it's time to eat." She walked to the side of the bed and whispered, "Even if you blame me, you still have to eat. I. . ."
Jiang Ci suddenly opened his eyes, startling Su Yue into silence.
He sat up, his long legs crossed, and his voice lazy. "You talk too much. Do you think I won't eat? I insist on eating."
Jiang Ci took the chopsticks and raised his eyebrows." Since I ended up in the hospital because of you, you have to take good care of me during this time. After I recover, you can leave."
Su Yue was stunned. Leave Jiang Ci?
. . . Because it was the supreme VIP ward, the facilities here were complete, and there were specially arranged beds for family members, but Su Yue thought that children's resistance was not good and it was not suitable to stay in the hospital for a long time. Now that Jiang Ci has woken up, she asked the butler to send someone to take little Haohao away, and repeatedly instructed them to take good care of him.
Before leaving, little Haohao stood on the chair next to the hospital bed, with both small hands on the bed, tears in his eyes, and a crying voice, "Daddy, you have to take good care of yourself, Haohao will be good."
"Hmm." Jiang Ci responded, "I'll be back in a few days."
After getting a response from his father, little Haohao's big eyes lit up, he nodded his little head hard, and his small mouth smiled, "Haohao will wait for Daddy to come back."
The night grew darker, the early summer night sky was dotted with stars, and the entire city was plunged into darkness, covering up the noise and bustle of the day, with an indescribable tranquility.
Su Yue came out of the bathroom, she had just taken a shower, and her body was still wet with steam. She put the clothes she had changed out of and the skirt she had changed out of this afternoon together and put them in a bag. Then she picked up the newly bought towel and wanted to dry her hair.
"Come help me, I'm going to take a shower."
The man's lazy voice sounded, making Su Yue's hand that was drying her hair pause.
"Okay." This was not a small building, and Jiang Ci was not familiar with the environment and location here. Every step he took, he needed her to lead the way.
Su Yue put down the towel and walked over quickly. She leaned down and wanted to reach out to hold Jiang Ci's arm, but her gaze fell on the back of her hand. It had already turned purple after just a few hours, and it would probably turn into a bruise tomorrow.
She used to be very afraid of pain and her body was very delicate. Even a slight touch could easily cause bruises or scars, so she took special care of her body and skin.
Unexpectedly, the original owner of this delicate body is no less delicate than she was before. Just a slight bump and her eyes turn red with pain. If it were on Jiang Ci, this man, he would have no problem at all.
She took Jiang Ci's arm.
"You didn't eat just now?" Jiang Ci coldly sneered absentmindedly. When he had allergies, his whole body was weak and he still hadn't fully recovered. And Su Yue, as a woman, was too weak to support him, her hands were soft and fluffy like cotton, and she couldn't support him at all.
Su Yue pursed her lips and secretly glared at him. She murmured, "There's no way. My hand was hurt this afternoon when you threw it away. It still hurts now."
"How about I find a caregiver for you?"
Jiang Ci's lazy voice stretched out, and he directly hooked his big hand around her waist, using her body to stand up. The light-colored thin lips hooked a cold smile, and he said, "Don't try any tricks. You're just helping me up, right? Let's go, take me to the bathroom."
Su Yue now weighs 120 pounds, compared to 155 pounds before, her waist is definitely two or three circles thinner. The man's arm, like iron, tightly clasped her waist, making her feel painful.
"Can you not use so much force and loosen your grip a bit?" Is this man's arm made of steel?
Jiang Ci pinched her waist, his face showing an incredulous expression. He remembered that the last time her waist was so fat and fleshy, soft and weak, but now it's still soft, but he can easily wrap his arm around it.
"She suddenly lost so much weight?"
Jiang Ci snorted and released the hand around his waist, instead placing it on Su Yue's shoulder, bringing them even closer.
Su Yue's wet hair was still dripping occasionally, and Jiang Ci was so close that he not only smelled the faint fragrance of her hair, but also felt the dampness of it brushing against his cheek.
The dampness and softness made his already itchy face even itchier.
He pursed his lips in displeasure.
After bringing Jiang Ci into the bathroom and turning on the water heater for him, Su Yue came out. She picked up a towel and continued to dry her hair. When it was only half dry, a man's voice sounded from the bathroom, "Su Yue, where are my clothes?"
Oh no, she forgot to prepare clothes for Jiang Ci.
She hurriedly picked up the spare hospital gown and stood outside the door, knocking, "I brought your clothes, please open the door."
The man replied confidently, "I can't see the door, bring them in."
Su Yue: ". . ."
