Chapter 840 Spoiled to the Bone (2)

In her field of vision, whether visible or not, there were always many people protecting her.

Whenever she traveled, there would be over a dozen bulletproof Buicks following her on either side, and the villa was also full of his people.

Their skill lay in the fact that unless something went wrong, Xiao Man would never be able to spot where they were hiding.

Just like now, lying in Li Sinian’s arms, Xiao Man felt as though they were truly the only two people in this vast, opulent villa—so quiet it was almost eerie.

In fact, she had woken up the moment Li Sinian carried her out of the car, pretending to be asleep without opening her eyes.

Because of the fever, the doctor said it was best not to bathe before it subsided. Following her instructions, he let her stay covered in bed, maintained good ventilation in the room, let her take her medicine and have a good sleep. Every so often, he would wipe her body with a hot towel, helping to reduce her fever.

As time went by, Xiao Man started to sleep more deeply, vaguely sensing that he was constantly taking care of her, in every possible way.

Such meticulous care from a man like him for a woman was probably beyond many people’s imaginations.

Who would have thought that the leader of a Dark Organization could spoil a woman to the core, doing everything that ordinary men might not even be able to do?

Li Sinian made Xiao Man often feel as if he were just an ordinary man, and the two of them were living an ordinary life.

When the fever made her delirious, Xiao Man grasped Li Sinian’s hand, opened her eyes to see his face close to hers, and began to talk nonsense.

"You’re not you, and I’m not me, wouldn’t that be nice..."

Li Sinian just assumed she was babbling. He looked at her and said, "Then I would have missed out on you."

His voice brought her back to reality. She became alert, knowing he was truly there in front of her, said nothing, and closed her eyes to continue sleeping.

During that time, her phone rang, the contact name listed as Director Ma. As soon as it was answered, the voice on the other end was relentless, "Manman, if you see Shang Qianxun, can you ask her some more questions for me? You’re friends so it’s easier to talk to her, try to get more out of her. If she thinks our offer isn’t good enough, we can still negotiate—hello? Hello?"

He hadn’t finished speaking when the call was abruptly disconnected.

"Manman?"

Ma Gang found it strange. Perhaps she pressed the wrong button?

When he called back, the phone was turned off.

Strange, what happened?

...

"I’m telling you, you two little treasures, can you stop playing with the phones? You’re only so young, yet you both cling to your phones non-stop every day. Be careful that mom doesn’t confiscate them. And I haven’t even mentioned your behavior during class—how can you browse Weibo so unconsciously?"

"Madam, times have changed, we can’t compare it to our day. Which kid doesn’t have an electronic product? Everyone clings to them," Su Qing spoke up in defense of Second Treasure.

"Xiaoqing is right!" Gu Mengmeng exclaimed.

"Xiaoqing is also what you call him? Call him Uncle. Don’t think just because someone puts in a good word for you that you can ignore the issue. If you can control your phone usage on your own, I won’t confiscate your phones. If you can’t..."

"Shh." Grandpa Jiǔ put his little finger to his lips, his eyebrows knitting together slightly.

"Pfft..." Su Qing laughed upon glancing in the rearview mirror, "If one didn’t know better, they’d think the little master is busy with some important work. He looks just like the CEO."

Cute leaned forward to look. Eleven, seated in the passenger seat, joined in the laughter, "Exactly. How else can you say they are father and son? It’s not just the resemblance, even the expressions around their eyes are nearly identical."

"I am working," Grandpa Jiǔ declared earnestly, "Don’t disturb me."
