Chapter 338 Sick

Chapter 338: Chapter 338 Sick

"Um... nothing much, Xuanxuan, you still need to replenish your nutrients. How about this, I’ll teach you how to make breakfast, and after you learn, we can eat together."

"Okay."

Ye Chen smiled, then picked up Chu Xuanxuan’s cup and boiled a kettle of water, placing it on the stove.

Chu Xuanxuan rolled up her sleeves and followed Ye Chen to the kitchen.

"Xuanxuan, you go wash your hands first, I’ll have everything ready soon," Ye Chen said, then busied himself.

Chu Xuanxuan obediently nodded her head, then walked into the bathroom.

Half an hour later, breakfast was ready. Ye Chen carried two bowls of porridge and two small dishes out of the kitchen.

At that moment, Chu Xuanxuan was sitting at the dining table waiting. Seeing Ye Chen bringing out the breakfast, she hurriedly went up and helped Ye Chen set everything on the table.

Ye Chen smiled and nodded, then sat down at the dining table, took a sip of porridge, and said, "Xuanxuan, let’s not waste time here, let’s eat quickly."

"Okay."

Chu Xuanxuan nodded, picked up her chopsticks to try a bun, and her eyes instantly lit up; then, she gave Ye Chen a thumbs up.

"Brother Ye Chen, the breakfast you made is really delicious," Chu Xuanxuan said.

"Like it? Eat more then," Ye Chen said with a faint smile, also picking up some dishes to eat.

"Xuanxuan, where did you come from to find me?" After a few bites of breakfast, Ye Chen suddenly thought of something and asked.

Chu Xuanxuan’s face turned slightly red, she lowered her head and said, "Brother Ye Chen, why do you ask?"

Ye Chen chuckled, "It’s nothing, just curious."

"Oh." Chu Xuanxuan seemed to have something she dared not tell Ye Chen and didn’t explain, but continued to eat her rice with her head down.

"By the way, do you still remember the dream I had when I was sleepwalking last night?" Chu Xuanxuan looked up and asked.

Ye Chen nodded and said, "Of course I remember, I almost messed things up with you in my dream!"

"Stop it!" Chu Xuanxuan’s face turned even redder, she glared fiercely at Ye Chen, then continued to bow her head and eat hard.

Watching Chu Xuanxuan’s shy and cute demeanor, Ye Chen couldn’t help but laugh out loud, then also started eating.

Just when Ye Chen was eating, Chu Xuanxuan suddenly stopped chewing, then mustered up the courage and said, "Brother Ye Chen, can we... can we..."

Chu Xuanxuan initially wanted to say something embarrassing, but in the end, she couldn’t say it.

"What’s wrong, Xuanxuan? What do you want to say?"

"It’s... it’s that thing!"

At this point, Chu Xuanxuan’s little face instantly turned extremely red.

Ye Chen was stunned, confused, and asked, "That thing? What thing?"

"It’s that thing between a man and a woman..."

"Oh... so that’s what you’re referring to," Ye Chen suddenly realized, then said, "Stop messing around, I’ll take you home in a couple of days."

"No way!" Chu Xuanxuan shook her head, her face resolute, "I must stay here!"

Then, she stared straight at Ye Chen, seemingly trying to read his mind, and asked, "Don’t you want to be with me..."

Although Chu Xuanxuan didn’t finish her words, Ye Chen guessed what she wanted to express, so he shrugged his shoulders and pretended to be surprised as he said:

"Are you suggesting that I should take responsibility for you? If so, you’re really naive. As a beautiful girl like you, if you throw yourself at someone, surely many men will pursue you, why choose me specifically?"

"Because... because I think you are a good person," Chu Xuanxuan said in a low voice, her head bowed.

Ye Chen curled his lips and then feigned ignorance, "Are you sure it’s a good person? Not a scumbag?"

"Ye Chen, brother, you... you don’t want to?" Chu Xuanxuan blushed instantly when she heard Ye Chen’s retort.

Although she hoped something would happen between her and Ye Chen, if it was forced, she couldn’t do it.

After all, she was a proud heiress.

"Oh, forget it. Since you’re so obstinate, I won’t force you. Just don’t come here anymore, I’m afraid I won’t be able to resist the temptation," Ye Chen sighed, looking deeply affectionate.

The reason he rejected her was that he already had Lin Yajing, and also he wanted to test Chu Xuanxuan’s attitude.

Seeing Ye Chen’s dejected expression, Chu Xuanxuan felt a twinge of guilt.

She bit her lip and after a long hesitation, she said, "Then... then, brother Ye Chen, can you please not send me away?"

"I would like to, but I don’t have the right to decide other people’s fate," Ye Chen sighed lightly, then continued, "Here is an idea, you should stay in a hotel tonight. The rent here is too expensive, I’m worried that you won’t be able to afford it, and I’ll be too late to cry if you get taken away."

Chu Xuanxuan’s face darkened as she angrily said, "You’re the one who can’t afford the rent! Let me tell you, my family owns mines, we have no shortage of money!"

"Then why are you staying here?" Ye Chen deliberately played dumb.

"My mom asked me to stay here for a while!" Chu Xuanxuan huffed, "Anyway, this time I must stay at your house! No one can persuade me otherwise!"

Ye Chen smiled helplessly, then said, "Since you insist on staying here, I’ll shelter you for a while, but you have to be mindful of boundaries, after all, it’s not good for us – a single man and a single woman – to live together under one roof."

"Psh! I’m the one who should be mindful!" Chu Xuanxuan commented sharply before standing up and walking toward the bedroom.

But before she could take a step, her delicate body trembled violently, nearly collapsing onto the floor, but fortunately, Ye Chen quickly supported her.

"What happened?" Ye Chen furrowed his brows and asked.

"I’m fine," Chu Xuanxuan said, her cheeks turning a rosy red.

"Your face is so red, are you sick?" Ye Chen asked again.

"No... no..." Chu Xuanxuan replied in a fluster.

"I’ll take you to the hospital to have a check."

With that, Ye Chen extended his right hand, placing it gently on Chu Xuanxuan’s soft and tender arm.

"Hey, what are you doing? Don’t touch me!" Chu Xuanxuan exclaimed, quickly pulling her arm away, her face covered in blush, and she scolded playfully, "What are you like, taking advantage of the situation now?"

"This is my concern for you, how can you be so ungrateful," Ye Chen said exasperatedly, then shifted the topic, "I’ll take you for a check-up right now and buy some medicine on the way."

Saying that, he took Chu Xuanxuan’s hand and started walking outside.

Chu Xuanxuan tried to pull away, but she felt a burning warmth from his palm that made her entire body uncomfortably hot.

After pulling Chu Xuanxuan outside, Ye Chen quickly drove towards the hospital.

Soon, they arrived at a nearby hospital, registered, queued, and after several checks, Chu Xuanxuan’s condition was tentatively diagnosed —

Her temperature was 38.0°C, indicating a high fever, requiring antipyretics for relief, but with limited effect, hospitalization was recommended for observation.

Just as Chu Xuanxuan was about to get medicine for herself, Ye Chen hurried ahead and paid for it, then took her to an ordinary hospital room.
