Yuan Xuan’s face darkened as he looked this woman who had caught a cold as a result of being disobedient and was now stubbornly refusing to take the medicine. He rubbed his forehead and got a headache just thinking about it. However, the man still coaxed in a low voice.

“Be good. Otherwise, your cold could get more severe. Just a single bowl of ginger soup won’t be sufficient to get rid of it then. “Tomorrow is Lunar New Year’s Eve. Do you want to celebrate the entire festive period with a cold?”

Ah Fu saw that Mistress was making a scene, and she was afraid that Young Master would not be able to coax her successfully, so she also piped up, “Don’t worry, Mistress. I’ve added lots of brown sugar. It’s not spicy.”

Mu Chenyan looked at the bowl of brownish liquid, and her stomach swirled. She shook her head and said fearfully, “It’ll still taste terrible even with brown sugar. You don’t need to lie to me. I don’t want it. If you want, you two can drink it yourselves…”

Mu Chenyan had never been this irrational. She was really terrified of the ginger taste, like a child who was afraid of injections and would cry upon seeing the professionals dressed in big white coats.

Mu Chenyan’s current state of struggle did not reflect her socialite status. Her fuzzy hair was unkempt, and her eyes were wide with fear as she stared at Yuan Xuan.

However, she saw Yuan Xuan merely hugging his shoulders and looking at her with a straight face. His gaze was glaring, almost as if to say ‘try not drinking it, see what I’ll do’.

She cried out loud in her heart and reluctantly took the bowl. After tasting it, she felt that it was still hot, and she wanted to throw a tantrum and not finish it.

She pouted and tearfully complained, “Who claimed that you have to drink such awful stuff after catching a cold?

“Also, this is too hot. My lips will be scalded from drinking it!”

Yuan Xuan was annoyed and amused at the same time. She was the one who was sick, but she was acting as if she was doing them a favor. The handsome man raised his hand and motioned for Ah Fu to leave.

He sat down by the bed, took the bowl and blew at it. After taking a sip to check that it was no longer hot, he gave it to Mu Chenyan. “It’s not hot anymore. Can Mrs Yuan drink it now?”

This man, whose tone seemed to be light and casual, was actually silently challenging her, as if to say, ‘Let’s see what other excuses you have now’. Mu Chenyan was getting frustrated.

“I’ve never liked ginger drinks since young. Whenever the maid boiled it and gave it to me, I’d always pour it away secretly. Even when my mother found out, she did not force me.

“Now that I’ve grown up, why have I lost all freedom after coming to the Yuan Family?

“I’m well aware of my own body’s condition. I just don’t like the taste of ginger. Even if I fall sick, I’m willing to endure it. In any case, I won’t be drinking this awful thing!

“There are various kinds of medicine I can eat. Why is it that I must drink this?”

As she spoke, this woman began to worm herself into the blanket, totally submerging her head underneath the blanket.

Looking at his bunkered-down woman, Yuan Xuan was stunned.

Was this woman also this difficult to deal with in the past?

“Ginger is a good remedy to chase away the cold. You’re now having the early symptoms, so you’ll recover after drinking it. However, if you choose to throw a tantrum, it might get worse and you’ll probably have to be hospitalized.” Yuan Xuan patiently advised.

“Huh!” The woman underneath the blanket snorted and refused to budge.

He had yet to discover that when this woman acted spoilt, she was very difficult to deal with! It was just a simple bowl of ginger soup, but she would not drink it no matter what he tried.

“Little Chenyan, you’re already in your 20s. You can’t be acting like a child anymore. Even if you want to be feisty, shouldn’t you look at the circumstances first?” Yuan Xuan used an affectionate tone as he spoke. He really had no idea what to do with this woman.

Mu Chenyan was unresponsive as she hid under the blanket, forming a small hump on the bed. She protested quietly, “How can you be certain that it’ll get serious? Maybe I’ll recover after sleeping through it…

Ah-choo, ah-choo!” As she spoke, she suddenly sneezed two times…
