Chapter 681: Ah Ye, Come Up Here

Gu Mingye stood no chance against her coquettish manner, hence he picked up her bowl and fed her.

Mo Shengyun ate obediently and as she did so, she looked at Gu Mingye with a pair of twinkling eyes.

After eating and drinking her fill, Mo Shengyun watched Gu Mingye clear the table and wash the dishes. She was exhausted, but insisted on watching him work.

His work was obviously boring, but whatever he was doing seemed perfect and faultless in her eyes.

Indeed, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Her Ah Ye was dashing no matter what!

After he was done with all his work, Mo Shengyun stretched out her hands and said, “I’m so tired.”

“Get back in there if you’re tired.” Gu Mingye had just washed his hands with hot water and automatically lifted her off her feet. “You delicate thing….”

“Hmph.” Mo Shengyun did not feel like she was being criticized. Instead, she was a little proud. “Yes I’m a delicate thing. I would be since I’m being pampered.”

Yes, one has the capital to be delicate when one is being doted on.

Mo Shengyun was used to being placed on a pedestal, from the time she was a child. All these years, she had her brothers and elders at home to dote on her. Outside of home, her friends and relatives were always by her side.

Just like how she would also try to get her own way by throwing a tantrum around him…

However, he knew that it was because she treated him as her boyfriend.

At the same time, Gu Mingye knew very well that he might not always be with her.

What if her future husband did not dote on her as much as he did?

What would happen then?

At that point, he would have no status and had no right to dote on her or care for her.

At the thought of this, Gu Mingye felt a mix of emotions. He sighed and said, “All of us have to grow up someday, Sheng’er.”

“Haven’t I grown up?” Mo Shengyun snuggled in his arms and looked up at him with a smile. “I’ve grown up, Ah Ye. I want to marry you, be your wife, and be the mother of your child.”

Her voice was loud and confident.

However, it was like a sharp and cold steel needle that pierced deeply into his heart.

He wanted things to turn out that way too.

However, one should not be ignorant.

He liked her and loved her.

However, Senior Chief was the benefactor of both he and his sister.

If it weren’t for him rescuing the both of them, they would not be here today.

The biggest difference between a human and a beast was that a human had feelings and knew what was right and what was wrong.

But when he saw Mo Shengyun’s happy expression, he fell silent.

He carried her into the room and gently tucked her under the blanket.

Just as he was about to get onto his feet, Mo Shengyun reached out and grabbed him.

Gu Mingye paused and looked up. Mo Shengyun looked pitiful. “You’re not allowed to leave today. You said that you’d stay here with me.”

“Go to sleep. I’ll be outside keeping you company.” Gu Mingye wanted to pull her away, but Mo Shengyun did not budge.

She looked at him in disdain. “What do you mean by you’ll be outside keeping me company?”

As she spoke, she pulled him towards her and said, “Keeping company means sleeping together.”

Gu Mingye froze and instinctively tried to dodge.

Mo Shengyun tugged at him and said, “Are you lying to me? Come down here!”

“I have work to do…”

“What sort of work? I’ll call and ask my cousin.” The girl obviously would not believe him and said coquettishly, “What’s the meaning of this? You said that you’d keep me company, so why are you going outside now…”

Gu Mingye sighed and said, “Go to sleep. I’ll stay here with you then.”

“You look tired. Let’s sleep together.” Mo Shengyun released him. “Ah Ye, I’m still sick. Besides, you’re a man. You think I’ll rape you?”

“Just go to sleep.” Gu Mingye pushed her head down against the pillow and threatened. “I’ll go back to work if you don’t go to sleep.”

Mo Shengyun pouted. “Liar.”

“I’m here and I’m not going anywhere. Just relax and go to sleep, alright?” Gu Mingye pulled the blanket up. “Be good.”

Mo Shengyun pursed her lips and lie down obediently.

Perhaps the cold medicine made her tired.

She fell asleep almost immediately after closing her eyes.

Seeing how she was knocked out, Gu Mingye couldn’t help but reach out to touch her face, then touched her forehead with his palm.

The temperature had lowered, but remained higher than normal.

He looked at the time. It had only been two hours since she took her medicine.

In another two hours, she would have to take another pill.

As he made the mental note, he started to feel drowsy as well.

He had been working non-stop for the past two days, waking up early and hardly sleeping late at night. He couldn’t help but yawn.

He went out and moved a chair into the room, and fell asleep by the bed.

When Mo Shengyun woke up in a daze, she saw Gu Mingye lying beside her.

His large frame was curled into a ball and it was obvious that he was extremely uncomfortable.

Besides, there was no cover on him, it was obvious that he would feel cold.

Mo Shengyun sat up and quietly got up.

But the moment she moved, Gu Mingye was roused from his sleep.

When he saw that Mo Shengyun had woken up, he immediately looked at the time and said, “Wait a moment.”

He left the room hurriedly and returned after about two minutes.

He returned holding a glass and two pills. “Take these.”

After Mo Shengyun downed the pills obediently, Gu Mingye handed her a thermometer and said, “Let’s check your temperature.”

Mo Shengyun obediently positioned the thermometer and moved closer to the edge of the bed. “Come up here, I’m a little cold.”

“Cold?” Gu Mingye reached out to touch her forehead. “Your fever has gone down. Why are you feeling cold still?”

“I don’t know. I woke up from the cold. It was so cold.” Mo Shengyun shivered. “Ah Ye, aren’t you cold?”

Gu Mingye did not say anything. He picked up the cup and walked out.

Mo Shengyun felt a little guilty. Could he have realized that she was lying to him?

But, all she wanted was for him to sleep on the bed.

He couldn’t… be angry, could he?

While she was still feeling uncertain, she removed the thermometer and got out of bed.

As she walked out of the room, she heard the sound of knife against a chopping board coming from the kitchen.

“Ah Ye, what are you doing?”

“Go back and lie down. I’ll boil some ginger water for you to drink.”

Upon hearing this, Mo Shengyun felt even more guilty.

She turned around and went to the bathroom. When she came out, the ginger water was ready.

Brown sugar ginger water was good for warming the body.

Mo Shengyun wanted to take it, but her hand was immediately scalded.

“Don’t fidget.” Gu Mingye slapped her hand away. “Go back and lie down.”

Mo Shengyun immediately walked back into the room guiltily.

Gu Mingye saw that the thermometer was lying on the bedside table and immediately looked displeased. “How high is it? Why didn’t you do a proper job of taking the temperature Lie down.”

Mo Shengyun was very obedient. She slipped under the blanket and drank the ginger water.

At the same time, she picked up the thermometer and did as she was told.

After a while, Gu Mingye removed the thermometer and confirmed that her fever had gone down. When he picked up the bowl, he noticed Mo Shengyun’s aggrieved expression.

She said, “Ah Ye, come up here.”
