Disappointment flashed across Wen Ruoshui’s eyes. She looked at the man and tried her best to smile. “Then go quickly, lest you delay your business.”

“Okay, what time are you coming home? I’ll get Yu Bo to pick you up.” Yan Yuanfei took half a step back with his back facing her. Half of his body was hidden in the darkness so that his expression would not look too ugly and be discovered by her.

Wen Ruoshui shook her head and said gently, “There’s no need. Yu’er will come over later. I’ll get her to come with me.”

“Okay.” Yan Yuanfei suppressed the itch in his throat and resisted the urge to cough. He wanted to hug her and put the scarf around her. In the end, he only said, “I’ll be leaving then.”

The moment the man turned around, Wen Ruoshui could clearly see the abnormal redness on his face. Her eyes turned cold as she chased after him and tugged at his sleeve. “Wait.”

Yan Yuanfei looked sideways at her. “What’s wrong?”

Wen Ruoshui reached out and grabbed his wrist. The hot temperature made her heart clench. Her eyes stared into his, not giving him any chance to dodge. She asked in a low voice, “Are you afraid that I’ll find out?”

Yan Yuanfei’s voice was a little hoarse as he smiled at her. “I’m fine. I just have a slight fever.”

He knew it. He should not have come. How could he have come?

She was already worried about Dongfang Chu every day. How could he cause her more trouble and make her worry?

“A small fever?” Wen Ruoshui had always had a good temper. Other than throwing a tantrum in front of him occasionally, she would not flare up at him. After all, her temper was too good. She could not flare up even if she wanted to. However, she was really angry this time. “Then what’s called trouble? When you become stupid because of your fever?”

She was a doctor, how could she not know that he had a fever? Besides, this person was the man she cared about the most and the man she loved the most!

“I’ve already taken the medicine. Soon…”

“Shut up!”

Wen Ruoshui had never been so angry before. After shouting at him, she pulled him towards the car.

Yu Bo hurriedly opened the car door. Master wanted to hide it, but plans go awry. Miss Wen had seen through him at a glance. He admired Miss Wen’s ability.

How could she tell that there was something wrong with Master at a glance?

Wen Ruoshui pushed him into the car and sat beside him. She took the medicine box from Yu Bo and asked with a straight face and a serious tone, “When did you start having a fever?”

Yan Yuanfei was very obedient and answered obediently, “In the afternoon.”

“Is that why you’re not going home? You don’t want to see me? Are you afraid that I’ll know?” Wen Ruoshui asked.

“I…” Yan Yuanfei wanted to explain.

“Yes or no?” Wen Ruoshui did not give him any chance.

“Yes.” A soft light flowed out of Yan Yuanfei’s eyes, carrying some joy and helplessness.

“How many times?” Wen Ruoshui stared at him, not giving him a chance to avoid lying.

Besides, he would not lie.

“Five times.” Yan Yuanfei looked at her comfortingly and smiled. “I’m fine. I have a fever a few times every winter. It’s a problem with my physique.”

Wen Ruoshui scolded herself angrily in her heart. No wonder he had stood her up frequently in the past two weeks. She had even misunderstood that he wanted to break up and not be with her.

His fever had been recurring for half a month. As his girlfriend and a professional doctor, she actually did not know anything.

Yan Yuanfei did not want her to blame herself, but he really could not lie. In a gentle voice, he comforted her. “I said it’s fine. Don’t worry about me. Just take care of Miss Dongfang wholeheartedly.”

He meant what he said.

However, Wen Ruoshui was blaming herself now. She sounded a little sad. Her voice was muffled and her eyes were red. “Sorry, I neglected you.”

“My body is disappointing.” Yan Yuanfei hugged her lovingly. “Don’t feel bad. My heart aches when you cry. Don’t blame yourself. You’ve already done very well.”

In the past two months, she had been busy looking for experts and researchers because of Miss Dongfang. She was too tired. How could he bear to see her get distracted because of him?

“No matter how uncomfortable you feel in the future, don’t hide it from me.” Wen Ruoshui’s eyes were sore and swollen. She sniffled and retreated from his embrace. She looked at him seriously. “Do you understand?”

“Okay.” Yan Yuanfei nodded when he saw that she was finally in a better mood.

“What did the doctor say?” Wen Ruoshui was a doctor. His fever was recurrent, and it was an abnormal reaction from his body. It was not a good sign.

“It’s just a fever. What else can I say?” Yan Yuanfei opened his arms and gave himself to her. He smiled and said, “Doctor Wen, if you don’t believe me, give me a full-body checkup!”

Wen Ruoshui took his pulse. There was nothing wrong with his body, but she felt very uneasy. “Go to the laboratory tomorrow. I’ll help you do a physical examination.”

“Okay.” Yan Yuanfei’s voice was a little hoarse as he smiled at her. “It’s just a fever. Who doesn’t have a fever a few times a year? They just happened in a short time frame. It’s not as serious as you think.”

It was not that it was not serious, but it was very serious. He could feel that his body seemed to be warning him that it was time.

He had once thought that the reason why his father, grandfather, grandfather, and the ancestors of the Yan Family had fallen sick and their bodies had collapsed was just a coincidence. That curse about their Yan Family was nonsense.

However, his body had always been healthy and he had never fallen sick.

Sixth Brother had even joked that since they were young, he was the only one who had never fallen sick. He had never even had a small cold or fever.

Sixth Brother had said that with his strong physique, he would not fall sick even if he wanted to. He would definitely not leave before them.

But now, he was actually starting to worry. He was starting to be afraid that the curse would arrive because of this small repeated fever.

Wen Ruoshui gave him a general checkup. He only had a cold and a fever, so he relaxed a little. When he heard the sound of brakes at the door, he immediately heard Huo Ci’s voice. He ordered, “Yu Bo, take Master back to rest.”

As soon as she finished speaking, someone knocked on the window.

Huo Ci’s handsome face was pressed against the window as he smiled. “Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law, why aren’t you coming out?”

Yan Yuanwei insisted on opening the car window.

Wen Ruoshui glared at him before opening the car door and closing it quickly. Afraid that the cold wind would enter, she looked at Huo Ci. “Your second brother has a fever. Let him go back and rest first. Don’t disturb him.”

Huo Ci did not believe him. “My second brother’s body is as strong as a cow. He has never been sick since he was young. How could he have a fever?”
