Chapter 298: Chapter 298: Afraid You Won’t be Psychologically Balanced (Fifth Update)

Seeing that Zhu Qianying was sound asleep, Yan Shao got up and left. He was deeply worried, so he decided to check with the doctor early about the results of the blood test.

"Master Yan, rest assured, your wife is not seriously ill. Her fever might be due to irregular schedules. After some rest, she will be fine," reassured the doctor.

Yan Shao was unsure what the doctor meant by ’irregular schedules’. In his embarrassment, he could not believe his wife, Zhu Qianying, had collapsed from work!

All for that tiny bit of commission and salary!

Returning to the hospital room, Yan Shao sat by the bed, observing Zhu Qianying for a while, occasionally resting his hand on her forehead. Only after her forehead’s temperature dropped gradually, did he retreat to the sofa, busying himself with his computer.

Around eight, Uncle Hai personally brought in porridge that he’d prepared, and brought Yan Shao his toiletries and fresh clothes.

Zhu Qianying, who had been asleep for two or three hours, woke up; whether it was hunger or the noise Uncle Hai made as he entered, she tried to sit up.

Yan Shao, who had been keenly observing her, quickly came over to support her, "Feeling any better?".

His tone had lost its initial irritation and anger.

Instead, it had gained a hint of tenderness and sympathy.

Zhu Qianying nodded, "Um..." Her throat seemed less painful than the afternoon, and she could now manage a whisper.

"Uncle Hai..." Zhu Qianying called out to Uncle Hai with her hoarse, low voice.

Uncle Hai immediately walked over, with a worried face, "Goodness, my child, don’t talk if your throat is uncomfortable! Lie down obediently, and I’ll get your porridge."

Zhu Qianying got some rest and then pointed at the washbasin, indicating that she wanted to brush her teeth and wash her face. Then she began to get out of bed.

Without saying anything else, Yan Shao suddenly picked her up. While walking, he called out to Uncle Hai, "Uncle Hai, please bring her slippers."

Zhu Qianying blushed but couldn’t speak out!

She was only mute, not crippled! Did she need to be carried even to go to the toilet? Causing trouble for Uncle Hai to fetch her shoes felt so wrong!

Yan Shao carried her to the washbasin, put her down, but did not leave. He stood near the door, observing her through the mirror.

Zhu Qianying felt uneasy under his gaze, yet couldn’t utter a word. She tried to pretend that she did not see the overly handsome face in the mirror and started brushing her teeth.

Yan Shao didn’t understand why he was so fascinated by her brushing her teeth and washing her face.

But after putting her down, for some inexplicable reasons, he wanted to watch her. Then, his mind was like a burst of fireworks. "Boom, she looks so cute with her mouth full of bubbles and her cheeks puffed out!"

A moment later, again, "Boom, how can she look so sexy with her face splashed with water?"

Only when Zhu Qianying finished washing her face did Yan Shao finally regain consciousness from his infatuation. He then unexpectedly picked her up again and carried her to the hospital bed.

At this point, Zhu Qianying seriously doubted her own weight. She must weigh at least 100 pounds. How could he lift her so effortlessly as if she were a cloth doll?

"Ying’er, your porridge!"

Uncle Hai handed over the slightly cooled porridge to her, which Zhu Qianying accepted.

"Do you want me to feed you?" Yan Shao offered, showing rare kindness, but Zhu Qianying just shook her head.

Yan Shao shrugged, apparently already accustomed to her refusal. He turned around, fetched another bowl, and served himself the same food.

Noticing that he had the same porridge as she did, Zhu Qianying was a bit confused. She was the sick one and needed to eat bland food. As for Yan Shao, he could indulge in a hearty meal. What was he punishing himself for?

It seemed that Yan Shao understood her confusion. He took a spoonful of porridge and put it in his mouth, then said, "If I eat too well, I’m afraid it will upset you!"

Zhu Qianying considered that and realized it was true.

She always had a great appetite and even now, it was only because her throat hurt that she couldn’t eat, not because she didn’t want to.

If he enjoyed a lavish meal in front of her, she would surely die of envy!

"Speaking of which, Baby Boy will be staying in Capital City until Chinese New Year’s Eve. Is that okay?"

This was a promise Yan Shao was forced to make to Grandpa in order to acquire the approval document. Even though he found this condition difficult, he had no choice. After all, this was merely the old man’s way of expressing his want for familial affection.

Zhu Qianying didn’t seem surprised by this at all, and calmly nodded her approval.

Yan Shao carefully examined her expression, noticing her calm response. It seemed like she had mentally prepared herself for this.

"Originally, Grandpa and Grandma wanted to return here for the Spring Festival with Baby Boy on Chinese New Year’s Eve, but their doctor advised against any unnecessary long-distance flights due to their health..." he continued.

Zhu Qianying nodded again, indicating her understanding.

"But they really miss you, so..." he trailed off.

Yan Shao had always known Zhu Qianying’s reluctancy to return to the Capital City, so even though he’d done all the preparation, he found it hard to make the request.

"I’ll go with you..." Zhu Qianying whispered with her hoarse voice, lowly, then lowered her head and continued eating her porridge.

Ever since she agreed to postpone her wedding with Yan Shao for a year, she had been mentally preparing herself to go back with Yan Shao and see the elders.

On normal days, she could use work as an excuse, but for a gathering like the Spring Festival, it would be inappropriate for her, as their granddaughter-in-law, not to visit the elderly.

Yan Shao could hardly conceal his excitement, but managed to maintain a composed demeanor, saying "Thank you!"

He’d thought he’d need to do a lot of sweet-talking, even threatening or bribing her, to convince her to go with him. But he had not expected her to agree so readily!

Did this mean that his recent actions had caused her to change her opinion of him?

Seeing Yan Shao awkwardly behaving like a young boy around Zhu Qianying, Uncle Hai found it amusing but didn’t want to interfere. After saying a few words about resting to Zhu Qianying, he tactfully made a swift exit, leaving the room to the pair.

The porridge was really soft and sticky, Zhu Qianying had three full bowls of it. Yan Shao was pleased to see her eating so much. After serving her, he made a promise, "Once your throat gets better, I will treat you to a big meal."

Zhu Qianying gave him a side glance, "Has Master Yan got his wires crossed? Has he mistaken me for Baby Boy?"

What she didn’t realize was that in Yan Shao’s mind, her reaction and Baby Boy’s reaction to food were basically the same.

Thus, his promises to her were the same as those to Baby Boy!
