"You have been sleeping recently. Master is worried about your health, so he asked the doctor to check your body."
"No need, I'm fine. I just stayed up late."
"The doctor is here."
"I... I'm not convenient right now."
"What's wrong with you?"
"I..." In her panic, Huo Yan said awkwardly, "I... I came here. My stomach hurts, I can't get up. I want to lie down for a while. I'm really fine, I don't need the doctor."
"... I understand."
Outside the door, the servant said, "Miss Huo is not convenient, what should we do?"
The doctor said, "Then wait until Miss Huo is more comfortable, then I'll come and see him."
The butler said, "That's the only way. I'll go down and tell Master."
Hearing that there was no movement outside the door, Huo Yan heaved a sigh of relief.
She didn't expect Jiang Ci to invite a doctor over. It was too dangerous. Luckily, she had a sudden idea and told him about her. Although it was a bit awkward, she had managed to avoid a disaster.
After the shock, she felt a warmth in her heart. She didn't expect Jiang Ci to take care of her like this.
Although it was because of her brother, she was different from other women. This way, she was satisfied.
The three of them went downstairs, and the doctor and butler went to the study room.
"How is it?" Jiang Ci asked.
The butler said, "Miss Huo said... she came for her period, and her stomach hurts. She can't get up and she didn't open the door. She said she wanted to lie down, and she didn't need the doctor."
Jiang Ci asked the doctor after a moment of silence, "Will she sleep in this situation?"
The doctor replied, "It's common for girls to have stomachaches during this period, but it's rare for them to sleep. Usually, pregnant women will have sleep issues. If Miss Huo is not pregnant and has sleep issues, you will need to be examined to know what is going on."
"Then we'll wait a few days before we see her."
"Alright."
Huo Yan had been cooped up in her room the whole time and did not go out. She would not sleep again.
Although she was reluctant to leave, she had to move out as soon as possible. Otherwise, the secret she had been hiding would be discovered.
At night.
Huo Yan hesitated for a while, but she still left the room to look for Chi Yi.
"Miss Huo, what's the matter?"
"Chi Yi, I've seen a few houses for rent. Can you help me take a look tomorrow?"
"Uh …" Chi Yi was stunned for a moment, then he said, "Are you in such a hurry?"
Huo Yan nodded, "Yes."
Chi Yi's heart turned cold. It seemed that Miss Huo really had no interest in his young master.
He had originally wanted to delay it for a while so that Huo Yan could stay for a longer period of time to let the two of them develop feelings for each other. Now, it seemed that it was a little difficult.
"Then please send me the information. I'll organize it and take a look tomorrow."
"Alright." Huo Yan immediately sent the information over with her phone, "Thank you, Chi Yi."
"You are welcome." After a pause, Chi Yi handed the folder in his hand to her and said, "Then can I trouble you to pass this to the young master? I won't go upstairs. I'll go back to organize the information you gave me."
"Alright." Huo Yan took the documents and went upstairs.
Jiang Ci's door was not locked and there was a gap in the door. He was probably waiting for Chi Yi to send the documents.
Huo Yan pushed the door open and walked in. "Mr. Ci, Chi Yi asked me to give you the documents …"
Before she could finish her sentence, she noticed the man on the sofa with a towel around his body. Her voice was stuck in her throat.
The man had just finished showering and his wet hair was a little messy. He was still so handsome that it was suffocating. A few drops of water slid down his fair skin and disappeared into the towel.
Huo Yan was stunned for a moment before she came back to her senses. She suddenly closed her eyes and said, "Sorry! I … I didn't see anything!"
Jiang Ci, "..."
The girl's face turned red. She closed her eyes and said in a small voice, "Chi Yi asked me to give you the documents..."
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Jiang Ci's handsome face. He immediately picked up the sleeping gown beside him and wrapped it around his body. Then, he got up and walked towards Huo Yan.
"Where is Chi Yi? Why isn't he here?"
The man's voice carried reproach, but it was not directed at the girl, but his lazy subordinate.
Huo Yan still had her eyes closed. She immediately explained, "He went to help me look at the property information. I found a few houses online today and wanted him to help me look at them as soon as possible. I don't want to … keep bothering you and causing you trouble."
After a moment of silence, Jiang Ci suddenly said, "Open your eyes."
Hearing that, Huo Yan slowly opened her eyes. The man had already put on his pajamas.
Her small face was embarrassed, and she apologized once again, "Sorry, I forgot to knock on the door."
After saying that, without waiting for Jiang Ci to say anything, she immediately turned around and ran away.
When she returned to her room and closed the door, she stuck her face against the door, her heart still beating wildly.
She suddenly slapped her forehead. Why didn't he knock on the door? Damn it!
Thinking about the scene just now, she couldn't help but think of that night. He had forcefully imprisoned her, and he had used his ferocious strength to tightly surround her, as if he had shattered her soul.
Huo Yan suddenly covered her burning face and muttered in a low voice, "Don't think about it, don't think about it..."
