Chapter 284: Chapter 284: If I Gave Her a Ranking List

Ji Weitian was caught off guard, "???"

"Ahem..." The butler cleared his throat and, in a rare show of cleverness, passed the porridge into Ji Weitian’s hands, his expression growing somewhat strained.

"Miss Ji, I know that taking care of Young Master Yu is part of my job, but I must confess that my heart isn’t very good, and I can’t handle staying up late for long periods. I could bear it if something happened to me, but if it also brought trouble to Young Master Yu, I really couldn’t rest in peace!"

The butler’s voice grew hoarse as he spoke, and his eyes reddened.

Hearing this made Ji Weitian feel somewhat uncomfortable. Without waiting for him to finish, she took the initiative and said,

"I’ll do it. I often stay up late for work anyway, and I’m used to pulling all-nighters. I’ll take good care of Qin Nanyu, you can leave him to me with confidence."

"Really? You’re willing to help me take care of Young Master Yu? That’s really so kind of you!" the butler said, looking at Ji Weitian with gratitude.

Ji Weitian couldn’t stand being thanked so profusely by an elderly person and, without delay, carried the porridge towards Qin Nanyu’s side while urging the butler to go and rest.

After the butler left the room, she looked up to meet Qin Nanyu’s deep, dark eyes, and that was when she realized what she had just agreed to...

Meanwhile, Qin Nanyu noticed something else.

She was always nicer to the butler than she was to him.

In fact, she seemed to be nicer to everyone than to him.

Perhaps in her eyes, even the stray cats and dogs on the street were more appealing than him.

If she had to rank everyone, Qin Nanyu had reason to believe that he would be at the very bottom of that list.

The two looked at each other, silent and wordless.

Ji Weitian reacted first, bringing the bowl of porridge forward to him, "Here, it might be a bit hot, eat slowly."

"..."

Qin Nanyu didn’t move to take it, his appearance increasingly frail and his whole demeanor listless as he looked at Ji Weitian.

His gaze intensely hinted at something.

Ji Weitian frowned, "What is that look meant to imply? You’re not expecting me to feed you, are you?"

If he dared to say yes, she would have dunked the bowl on his face, the kind that couldn’t be scrapped off!

Qin Nanyu seemed to sense where her limit was, and though he wanted her to feed him, he managed to keep his request within bounds, letting Ji Weitian hold the bowl while he took the spoon to drink the porridge himself.

The two cooperated with an unspoken understanding.

Satiated, Qin Nanyu wasn’t sleepy, but Ji Weitian felt tired.

Since she had promised the butler to stay and look after the sick Qin Nanyu, she didn’t fuss and took a blanket to lie on the couch.

"I’ll be right here, call for me if you need anything."

Qin Nanyu didn’t say anything, and the room fell into silence.

Time passed until the person on the sofa fell asleep. Only then did Qin Nanyu rise and walk over to the couch.

By the soft glow of the moonlight streaming through the window, he looked at the person curled up on the couch.

She must have been truly exhausted from a day spent playing outdoors with the kids; her tranquil sleeping face carried a hint of docility.

Qin Nanyu watched her, the scene of his emotional outburst at the restaurant earlier that day flashing through his mind...

He really wanted to know, if he hadn’t fainted then, what her reaction would have been?

Most likely, she would have hit him, and then despised him even more.

Knowing what he did, he didn’t gamble on that slim chance of a different possibility.

Looking at the person before him, Qin Nanyu’s eyes softened, and he leaned down intending to give her a goodnight kiss.

Just as he was about to kiss Ji Weitian, she suddenly opened her eyes!
