After Divorce, Hidden Marriage Husband Became Addicted to Me

Chapter 48 - 48 47 Fever

?48: Chapter 47: Fever 48: Chapter 47: Fever She took a few deep breaths to adjust her emotions before quickly answering the phone.

“Hello, Mom, did you wake up early and have breakfast already?”

“It’s well into the day already…

Silly girl, look at what time it is now.” It was Qin Jianlan’s laughter from the other end.

Tang Xi glanced at the time; it was already half-past nine.

“Mom…

I overslept.”

“I had Aunt Rong make some snacks.

Come over and eat when you’re free.”

Tang Xi forgot to tell Qin Jianlan that she would be going out for a few days, “Mom, I’m outside now, I’m with…

Tingzhou.

We are at the seaside resort he developed.”

“What, you are with Ahzhou?” Qin Jianlan was somewhat incredulous.

Although she could see that her son wasn’t rejecting Tang Xi on the surface, their emotional bond hadn’t grown stronger, and it worried her.

She frequently brought the two together, and now hearing Tang Xi was in a vacation resort, Qin Jianlan suspiciously said, “Really?

Xiao Xi, don’t lie to your mom….”

“Mom, why would I lie to you?

It’s true…”

“Mom, if you don’t believe it, you can video call me…”

Two seconds later, Qin Jianlan’s video call came through.

Tang Xi wrapped in a blanket, turned the camera around, her voice trying to sound cheerful, “Mom, look, this is Tingzhou’s room, I just woke up…

Mom, don’t call me too lazy…”

Qin Jianlan knew her son well.

One look and she could tell it was her son’s favorite style of interior decor.

Cold as an ice cellar.

Upon seeing her son and daughter-in-law traveling together, Qin Jianlan relaxed completely, “You slept until now, didn’t you?

Did Ahzhou bully you last night?”

Her face turned red, “Mom…

what are you talking about.”

Qin Jianlan laughed joyfully, “Good child, you two have fun together, no rush to come back.

Mom is really looking forward to you guys having some good news.”

“Mom…

that matter is still a long way off…”

“Xiao Xi, mom knows I’ve been unconscious for these three years, you’ve suffered… ” Knowing her son’s temperament, Qin Jianlan thought surely this rascal had been neglecting Tang Xi until her awakening started to bring them closer, “Xiao Xi, as long as you carry Ahzhou’s child, once there is a child, your relationship will improve a lot, and nothing will be able to break your bond.”

“Mom…

ah, this…

isn’t something I can decide alone.

Besides, Tingzhou and I are both busy with work…

it can’t be rushed, let’s take it slowly…”

“Yes, it can’t be rushed, it’s my muddle-headedness…

But mom really wishes to see your and Ahzhou’s child before I close my eyes forever, then I’ll have no regrets…”

“Mom, you will live to a ripe old age, you definitely will.”

“Hahaha silly child, living a hundred years, wouldn’t mom turn into an old monster then?”

“Mom, I just want to be by your side always, to see you every day…” She paused, “Tingzhou feels the same.”

“Xiao Xi, mom also wants to see you and Ahzhou every day…”

For this, Qin Jianlan also wants to live well.

“Mom, once you get your health in order, we’ll prepare for the surgery.

It’s been three years now, and this kind of surgery has also advanced a lot, the success rate is higher, Tingzhou and I will be with you.”

“Okay…

okay…”

After hanging up the call, Tang Xi clenched her phone tightly.

Aunt Qin, I genuinely hope you live to a ripe old age.

But Aunt Qin, Fu Tingzhou has someone he likes…

We are going to divorce soon…

You’ve been so kind to me, yet I still let down your expectations…

–

A waiter-like person delivered clothes to Tang Xi, and she changed clothes before leaving the man’s room.

When she entered the elevator, she realized this was the top floor, Fu Tingzhou’s private suite.

Her room was on the third floor.

A plain standard room.

Tang Xi returned to her room, took a shower, feeling very tired, she lay on the bed and fell asleep.

When she opened her eyes again, it was sunset.

The window framed a vast splendid seaside sunset.

The intense, brilliant sunset slowly merged with the dark coastline.

She was struck by the beautiful scenery outside the window for a moment.

It was her first time seeing the ocean, the first time seeing a seaside sunset, and she couldn’t help but take a few extra looks.

No wonder rich people liked such lavish vacations; even a regular standard room here costs a four-figure sum.

All of this was completely contrary to her original life trajectory.

But all of this, it was beautiful.

So beautiful that it seemed almost surreal before her eyes.

Tang Xi developed a fever.

She opened her suitcase and took out a fever-reducing pill to swallow.

Probably because of falling into the water last night.

Her eyelids were heavy and drowsy.

She lay in bed and fell asleep again.

She was awoken again by the sound of knocking on the door.

Opening her eyes, everything was dark.

She groped for the switch, turned on the light, and walked to the door to open it.

She saw Xiao Chi with an anxious expression on his face.

“The phone’s out of battery, and you didn’t answer the door.

Tang Xi, I thought you had fainted inside,” Xiao Chi leaned against the doorway, “Let’s go, the food city is having a trial opening.”

This sea area tourist region is a major development project of the Fu Corporation, with tens of billions invested.

It offers all kinds of food, drink, and entertainment, with local specialties for food.

Now that it’s starting trial operations, it’s definitely not to be missed.

“I…

Mr.

Xiao, can I not go?”

Xiao Chi scoffed disdainfully, “Look at you, so scared and cowardly.

Are you afraid of bumping into Fu Tingzhou?

Or is it heartbreaking and jealousy-inducing to see Fu Tingzhou and your sister being affectionate together?”

“I have a bit of a fever, and I don’t want to move,” she tried to explain, but Xiao Chi was just a stranger to her, she had no way to explain…

After all, who would know that she is still Fu Tingzhou’s secretly married wife.

And, she truly had a fever and felt too lethargic to move.

Xiao Chi looked at her skeptically, noticing the flush on her cheeks and her slightly disheveled hair from just getting up; he didn’t suspect anything wrong, and touched her forehead, “It’s so hot!”

“Let’s go, to the hospital to have it checked out.”

There’s a hospital within just five kilometers of here.

The man grabbed her slender hand and pulled her along to leave.

Tang Xi shrank back, “I am a doctor, you know.”

Xiao Chi stopped, right, this woman is a doctor.

He looked at her, “Are you really okay?”

“Hmm, just a bit of a low fever.

I’ll be better after sleeping it off tomorrow.”

Her voice was nasally as she spoke.

Xiao Chi looked at her in this state and couldn’t help but laugh a bit – when this woman had a fever, she was a lot tamer.

She even looked more agreeable.

Her voice was kind of strangely cute.

“Then you sleep, I’ll go on my own,” he said.

Tang Xi nodded.

She went back to bed, charged her phone, and fell asleep.

Though she had slept all day, the fever made her feel more exhausted the more she slept.

She woke up because she was hungry.

She hadn’t eaten much since last night.

Rubbing her brow, she glanced at the time — it was already past ten at night.

At this moment, she was no longer feeling sleepy.

Tang Xi took her temperature; she still had a slight fever, but it was much better.

She got out of bed and drank some water.

Her throat was dry and hoarse to the extreme.

There was a knock on the door again.

Tang Xi walked over to open it, and just as she did, Xiao Chi walked in.

He boldly sat down on the sofa and crossed his legs arrogantly.

His gaze swept over her room.

“Do you and your sister have some kind of grudge?” he asked.

Tang Xi didn’t understand what he was talking about.

Xiao Chi explained, “This is the room at the very edge, on the third floor, the most basic standard room.”

Each of the wealthy young masters and ladies who came here for tourism almost all stayed in high-class suites.

Only Tang Xi was in a cramped standard room.

He sat on the sofa, feeling crowded.

Tang Xi smiled, “This place is quite nice; you can still see the sea at sunset.”

The smile on her face was genuine.

Xiao Chi was taken aback, this silly woman, how could she be so easily contented.
