Sweet Chief Secretary - Chapter 447

Going out of the bathroom and seeing that Shen Yan was heating water, with her hand on her chest, Xia Yu said she would go to sleep, so she went to the bedroom.

“Wait a minute. You can’t sleep like that. Spit the rice wine out first.” Shen Yan called her behind her.

“I can’t spit it out.” Xia Yu lay on the bed and wanted to fall asleep.

A moment later, he walked in. Then he scooped her up and said, “You have to vomit. Although the gastric acid you spit out can do harm to the gullet, it can decrease the harm that alcohol does to the liver. You have to spit it out first and then sleep.”

“But I can’t.” Xia Yu also wanted to. She felt really terrible like this.

“Come here and have some water to dilute the alcohol in your body.” Shen Yan carried Xia Yu to the parlor and let her sit on the couch. He gave her a glass of water, which had a light-green color inside. Xia Yu drank it, and it tasted like some vegetable juice.

“Do you know what you drank?” Shen Yan looked at Xia Yu and asked.

Xia Yu shook her head. She felt it even hard to speak, so whatever. He would not give her poison anyway. Even if it was poison and he wanted Xia Yu to drink, she would follow his order.

He smiled wickedly. “This water was used to burn the cockroach, and it can sober you up.

Xia Yu had been dizzy, but now she trembled and was sober a lot at once. But she was also sick to take a deep and cold breath. Her stomach was churning, and she ran to the bathroom with her hand on her mouth. She vomited with a “whoa”. Finally, she even got her bile out.

Now sweat emerged on Xia Yu’s forehead and wetted her fringe. Shen Yan was stroking her back, but Xia Yu felt her clothes on her back sticky with cold sweat.

Xia Yu almost collapsed as a result of vomiting. She fell to the ground and sat down. Taking over the towel from Shen Yan’s hand, she wiped several times and complained in tears, “Why did you give me the cockroach water? I’d rather drink poison.” Saying this, she wanted to throw up again. She felt sick while thinking about it.

Shen Yan saw that she had vomited almost everything and said smilingly, “It is a joke, fool! How can the cockroach water sober you up? It is vegetable juice. I said so on purpose only to let you feel sick so that you can vomit.”

“You…” Xia Yu wanted to cry but had no tears.

Later, Shen Yan carried her back to the bedroom. Xia Yu was uncomfortable with sweat all over her body and wanted to take a shower. Shen Yan told her to do it later, as she just drank the wine and sweated all over. If she bathed at this time, she would catch a cold. If the belly was blown by the wind, it would ache.

Xia Yu didn’t want to listen to him. She stumbled to the bathroom and then went out after she took a shower. Standing on the floor of the room, her legs were soft. With her hand on the chair, she wanted to go to the closet to get some clothes.

“Don’t move. I’ll get you.” Saying this, he opened the closet. Then he took out Xia Yu’s pajamas and put it on the bed before reaching out his hands in order to help her change the clothes.

“I’ll do it myself.” Xia Yu said in a low voice and blocked his hands.

“Don’t move!” He said domineeringly.

Xia Yu was so tired and sleepy, so she let him do it. After she changed her clothes, she went to bed to sleep. Maybe it was because of the sweat and the vomit that her stomach was empty, and that she felt very cold. She covered herself with the quilt and was about to fall asleep mistily. But she was woken up by Shen Yan who asked her to drink a glass of water. After drinking the water, she soon lay down and fell asleep. She was really super-tired.

She had a dream that she was climbing a very high mountain. She used all her strength, and it took her a long time to climb a step. Her body seemed not to belong to her, and she couldn’t make use of her strength by any means. She stopped and was blown by the cold wind from the mountain. It was so cold that she trembled constantly.

“Honey, wake up. Have some water quickly. You get a fever.” Shen Yan tapped her face lightly and woke her up.

Xia Yu opened her dry eyes and felt a fire in her throat and a crack in her head with pain. Shen Yan helped her sit up. She saw it was bright behind the window curtains. It was daytime already!

“What time is it?” Xia Yu opened her mouth and felt such a great pain in her throat that she frowned while speaking.

Shen Yan gave her a glass of water and said, “It’s 8 o’clock in the morning. Are you hungry? I will get your breakfast here. You must have caught a cold from the wind when we came back after drinking last night.

Xia Yu took the water and drank half a glass of it. With a short break, she drank all. Her throat hurt very much even when she drank water. Last night she felt nothing, but this morning it became so severe. Sickness came on horseback!

“I’ll take a warm shower, and the fever can be gone. I have an appointment with the client to sign the contract at 10 o’clock. I have to go there later.” Saying this, Xia Yu attempted to get out of bed but was stopped by Shen Yan.

“How can you sign a contract while you are sick like this? Ask Xiao Tang to go there, and you should lie down to rest. I’ll cool you down physically.” He turned back and walked out.

“It’s fine. I’m not so weak!” Xia Yu struggled to the bathroom.

After the shower, her fever was gone for the moment. Her stomach was empty, and with the illness, her legs were so heavy as if they weighed five hundred kilograms. She had some breakfast to refill her energy, but the headache and sore throat were not lessened.

Xia Yu went to the company sickly. Xiao Tang first saw Xia Yu and was about to come to her, but she saw Shen Yan was next to her, so she backed at once. Until Xia Yu went into the office room and Shen Yan also entered his office, she took her phone and went to Xia Yu’s office.

As soon as she entered, Xiao Tang looked at Xia Yu with a wicked smile. “Tell me with honesty. Where did you go with Young Master Yan last night?”

“My sister, look at me. What could I have done under such a circumstance?” Xia Yu said in a feeble voice. As she said it, her upper body lay on the desk. She really got no strength at all.

Xiao Tang saw that her face was abnormally red and touched her forehead after coming up. It was a real fever. “Gee, how come? You are sick like this. Then who is the girl that hugged and kissed Young Master Yan in the streets yesterday?”

Did Young Master Yan cheat on her? It was possible. It was Young Master Yan, and it was a miracle that he didn’t date other women after he had been with Xia Yu for such a long time. An occasional affair was very normal.

But which woman had such power to steal Young Master Yan’s heart? She should check it out again. Xiao Tang clicked on the video. Why did this woman look like Xia Yu so much?

“Xia Yu, do you have a twin sister?” Xiao Tang wanted to confirm it.

“What’s wrong on earth?” Xia Yu waved her hand to Xiao Tang, and Xiao Tang handed over her phone. “How come?”

Xia Yu was shocked to stand up at once. They were in those clothes like that, but they were still filmed. It was too unreasonable.

In another office, Shen Yan was taunting Li Wen proudly. “Do you know what a couple is? You tricked my darling to your party when I was not here. But she went there only because we were partners and wanted to show a little respect to you. You really think that she likes you? Stop dreaming.”

“Shen Yan, don’t be so proud. I admit that Xia Yu is with you now, but it is only because you knew her several days before me. If we had met her at the same time, she would not have chosen you.” When Li Wen saw the video on the Internet, he was almost angered to vomit blood.

What was the use of the high profile? It was too fake and too artificial to wear matching clothes to show their affection. It was very disgusting.

“You also know that there’s no ‘if’!” Shen Yan smiled more happily.

“Shen Yan, I tell you the truth. I will not give up. You listen to me. I won’t stop until she is my girlfriend. Even if you are married, I will move her till she divorce you.” Irritating Shen Yan was Li Wen’s strength. Soon he both won a round and angered Shen Yan almost to death.

“Li Wen, do you want a kick in your ass?” Shen Yan was so angry that he gnashed his teeth.

“But first you should have the power to overcome me.” This time, it was Li Wen’s turn to feel proud.

“Wait and see.” Shen Yan stood up while saying this.

Getting out of the office, when he passed by Xia Yu’s office door, he saw that Xiao Tang had cold medicine in her hands and pushed the door open hastily. Then he also followed in.

He touched Xia Yu’s forehead after reaching out and found it was still very hot. He said firmly, “Go to the hospital with me.”

“But what about the contract?” Xia Yu was still thinking about her work.

“Life first or work first? Don’t worry. I can handle it.” Xiao Tang was also persuading her aside.

Her head was too dizzy, so Xia Yu didn’t refuse. She went to the hospital with Shen Yan. After having an injection, they brought some medicine back. Shen Yan didn’t allow her to walk but carried her off the car directly.

“I can walk by myself.” Xia Yu said. Though she was very comfortable in his arms, she was afraid that once she was used to his care, she would be addicted. When he was not by her side to attend her in the future, she would feel sad.

“Cut the crap!” Shen Yan said in a cool way and held her into the door of his home.

“Don’t you fear that I get a princess syndrome? If I ask you for help for everything in the future, and if I become dependent and incapacitated, it is because you have spoiled me!”

“Fine, I spoil you!” He said calmly. His long eyelashes bent down, and he looked at Xia Yu in his arms smilingly.

Under such a loving gaze, Xia Yu felt that her heart was like a calm lake that was blown by a breeze. Following the breeze, ripples were made, and her heart became gentle naturally.

Carrying Xia Yu home, he didn’t even let her change her shoes. He went directly to the bedroom and helped her remove her shoes. He told her to lie down, and then he went to heat some porridge for Xia Yu. When he turned around to leave the room, he took her shoes out at the volley.

Ten minutes later, Xia Yu thought he should have finished heating the porridge, so she was about to get out of the bed while he came in with the porridge.

“Lie down! Don’t you have a headache?” Such kind words, when being said by him, were like an order.

Xia Yu had to obey him and lay back on the bed. He got a spoonful of porridge and cooled it by blowing near his mouth. He tried the temperature and then sent it to her mouth. Eating the porridge, Xia Yu felt a little shy. “Actually, I’m not so weak. It’s just a cold. In the past, I went to the surgery on my own.”

He opened his eyes wide and asked, “Why did you go to the surgery alone? When? What kind of surgery?”

Xia Yu had a sip of the porridge. She lifted her left hand and showed him the back of it. There was a slim scar about 1.5 centimeters long on the lower joint of the index finger. It was not obvious as it was sutured by the thin thread of plastic surgery, and the doctor was very skillful.

“When I still worked in Sheng Da, we had a marketing activity in the square. Everyone went to have lunch in the company at noon, and only I and Xiaoliu were left at the publicity booth. A strong wind came over and blew down our tent. When we tried to put up the tent, my hand was hurt by the iron sheet. It was a deep wound, and my bones could be seen inside. Xiaoliu bound it up with his necktie. As he didn’t get a driving license at that time, and someone needed to stay there to take care of a lot of stuff at the publicity booth, I told him to stay there. The company was farther away than the hospital, and it would take much time to wait for a colleague to come here, so I went to the hospital myself.”

Xia Yu ate the porridge and continued to say, “The doctor said at that time that stitches were needed, and the back of the hand was easy to be seen, so the thin thread of plastic surgery was necessary. I just sat in the surgery room and watched the doctor stitch carefully little by little. In the end, I got six stitches in total.”

She was still with Chen Wenxuan at that time. Later, she called Chen Wenxuan, but he was meeting a client with the section chief at that time. Xia Yu was afraid that his work would be disturbed, so she told him not to come over.

Xia Yu was really very independent at that time. But now, she felt she was spoiled by Shen Yan and became weak and effeminate. She even needed someone to feed her when eating.

She went to the hospital alone? Shen Yan compressed his mouth and looked at the scar on the back of Xia Yu’s hand with a frown. How helpless and lonely she would have been at that time!
