Chapter 115 The first clues emerge
"Cough cough cough cough..."
A faint, violent cough could be heard coming from the bathroom.
On the bed, Yan Ting's eyelids twitched. When she heard the sound of slippers, she slowly opened her eyes: "Ah Xiao?"
"Sorry, did I disturb you?"
A slightly hoarse voice came from behind.
Yanting sat up, turned to look at the person in front of her, and asked worriedly, "Have you caught a cold?"
Chen Xiao seemed to have not slept all night; his eyelids were slightly drooping, and his expression was somewhat listless. "I'm probably just too tired lately."
He suppressed the itch in his throat, maintaining his usual carefree demeanor, "It's nothing, it's just a minor ailment that will go away in a couple of days."
Yan Ting frowned, lifted the silk quilt, and was about to get out of bed: "No, we should go to the hospital to get checked out."
"No need to go to so much trouble." Chen Xiao put his arm around the girl's waist and easily pulled her into his arms. "Let me hug you."
"..." Yanting thought for a moment, but still felt uneasy: "It would be better to go to the hospital to get checked out."
"Don't move," Chen Xiao said in a low, hoarse voice. "Let me recharge for a bit."
Yan Ting remained still, letting him lean against her.
Don't know how long it has been.
Yan Ting called softly, "Ah Xiao?"
"..."
She called out softly again.
"Hmm?" The slightly hoarse voice sounded a bit sleepy.
"Shall we go to the hospital?"
“…No need for that trouble.” Chen Xiao said in a low voice, “Just have the butler invite a private doctor over.”
……
Half an hour later, the private doctor arrived.
The private doctor was a middle-aged man surnamed Zhang.
After examining Chen Xiao, Dr. Zhang said, "Mr. Chen probably just caught a slight cold."
"It's nothing, just take some medicine."
Yan Ting breathed a slight sigh of relief and nodded. "Then please prescribe some medicine, doctor."
Chen Xiao lay casually on the beanbag chair, staring at the ceiling, his expression inscrutable.
How could someone with his physical condition easily catch a cold?
Although autumn is more than halfway over and winter is just around the corner, Chen Xiao has a good understanding of his body.
He's not afraid of catching a cold, and he wouldn't have any problems even if he took a cold bath in the dead of winter.
After the private doctor left.
Yan Ting looked at Chen Xiao and said, "I'll make you some ginger and brown sugar water."
Chen Xiao pulled her back: "Let Doraemon come. You just sit here and keep me company."
The next second, Doraemon beeped twice and then slid into the kitchen.
Seeing this, Yanting could only sit down on the edge of the sofa.
"Why don't you drink a cup of hot water and then take a nap?" Yan Ting poured a cup of hot water and handed it to Chen Xiao.
After taking the water glass, Chen Xiao did not drink it immediately, but stared at her.
Yan Ting asked in bewilderment, "What's wrong?"
"Sleep with me."
Yanting: "I'm not sleepy."
lie.
Chen Xiao glanced at the faint bluish discoloration under Yan Ting's eyes, but didn't expose her. He simply lowered his gaze and drank some hot water.
Because she was worried about Chen Xiao, Yan Ting handled all company affairs online, and all meetings were held online.
There are a whole host of things to deal with, including the scriptwriting department, finance department, accounting department, human resources department, and so on.
Yanting has been dealing with matters related to the company's former celebrities and artists.
The main reason is to retain some popular celebrities.
However, there have been many celebrities who have switched agencies or terminated their contracts during this period.
After all, if Xuri encounters problems again, they wouldn't dare gamble with their future.
Of course, most of those who don't terminate their contracts do so because they can't afford the penalties for breach of contract.
Those celebrities with tens of millions of fans can naturally leave whenever they want.
But those who don't make a name for themselves in the industry can only stay.
Seeing Yan Ting typing on the keyboard, Chen Xiao suddenly stood up, reached out, and snapped the computer shut.
Yan Ting looked up in confusion: "?"
Then, in the next second, she was lifted up by the waist.
"What?"
Chen Xiao tossed Yan Ting onto the bed and said succinctly, "Go to sleep."
"No." Yan Ting had just gotten up when she was pushed back down. The next moment, someone grabbed her waist and pinned her to the bed, unable to move.
"Be good." Chen Xiao's voice rose slightly at the end, as if he were coaxing a baby, "Baby is the most obedient."
"..."
Yan Ting looked up helplessly.
She stared at the ceiling.
Slowly, my eyelids began to droop.
Finally, Yanting really fell asleep.
Chen Xiao suddenly opened his eyes. He stared at Yan Ting, who had fallen into a deep sleep, and his gaze softened.
The system, which hadn't been online for a long time, suddenly spoke: [Tingting's luck has increased.]
Chen Xiao calmly asked, "Is there a problem?"
[This is a huge problem. I've been observing the male lead, Lu Huai, for a while now, and I've noticed that his luck is slowly waning.]
This is an unbelievable thing.
The male protagonist's luck mysteriously disappeared.
On the contrary, Yanting's fortune is slowly increasing.
What does this mean?
This indicates that there is a strong connection between the two.
Upon hearing this, Chen Xiao lowered his eyes slightly.
He stared intently at Yanting, his eyes filled with emotion.
"Perhaps it's returning it to its rightful owner."
The system couldn't figure it out, so it had no choice but to give up.
[Lu Huai's "chasing after his wife" saga is halfway through; the next half is the real highlight, and without it, readers won't be happy.]
The most captivating part of the "chasing-back-to-the-wife" story is the male protagonist's pursuit of his wife.
Chen Xiao remained noncommittal.
He closed his eyes slightly and suddenly asked, "System, do you know how you came into this world?" He stopped calling the system "dog son" at some point.
System: [I can't remember, I only know that this world was my first mission world.]
It remembers the Time Bureau, but has no other memories.
Chen Xiao closed his eyes, still holding Yan Ting's waist. No one, including the system, could see that the purple aura around him was now faintly turning black.
…………
Yanjia.
Ever since Yanshan went to jail, Li Qian has had an inexplicable sense of panic.
They were afraid that what she did back then would also be made public.
So, naturally, she began to gradually start to resent Yan Nan.
"You could have saved your father, so why didn't you?"
Yan Nan's face turned cold in response to her mother's complaints.
"Did you really think you could cover up everything you did back then?"
Li Qian was somewhat taken aback. "What do you mean?"
Yan Nan lowered her eyes, her thin glasses fogged up by the steam from the tea. "It means what you think it means."
The mistakes his father made were enough to put him in jail for life.
Li Qian was easily swayed, and she said matter-of-factly, "If you plead with the old patriarch, perhaps your father can be saved."
To her surprise, Yan Nan shattered her naive idea: "If it weren't for that guy surnamed Chen, even without me saying anything, people in Hong Kong would have found a way to get my father out."
Upon hearing this, Li Qian murmured, "Just who is this guy surnamed Chen?"
Yan Nan did not answer the question, but instead said, "If Mother is worried about the quality of life after Father's passing, then Mother can rest assured that I am more than capable of supporting you."
