Chapter 200: Untitled

“How on earth do you guys work if you are dropping your belongings everywhere?” She told off the servant harshly.
“I’m sorry for our negligence, Young Madam. I’ll go return the earring to Hong Tao now.”
“Go. Get going then.” It was only then that all her suspicions were dispelled.
The servant hastily made a quick exit with the necklace and earring.
“Brother Jingxuan, are you usually taken care of by these imbeciles? How can I have peace of mind knowing that they are careless, sloppy workers? Why don’t I move in tomorrow and stay with you? This way, I’ll be able to take care of you myself.”
Lin Jingxuan glanced at her. “You’ve got your own things to do. It would be too taxing on you to take care of me on top of that. I don’t want you to suffer.”
“But those servants are really insensible. I bet they’re usually not thorough when serving and taking care of you.
“Just change a batch of them then.”
“But…”
“That’s enough. Wait a couple more days before you move in with me. Then, you can personally take care of me, alright?”
“Why wait?”
He put on a considerate look. “I’m in a poor condition now. I don’t want to pass any germs or viruses to you.”
His thoughtfulness moved the woman immensely. “That won’t happen.”
“Behave now. You can come over again once I’m feeling better.”
Only then did Gu Feirou agree to his request.
“Brother Jingxuan, is there anything that you wish to eat? I’ll go make it for you right away. You need to take in more nutrients so that your body will recuperate faster.”
After some thought, the man said, “Mung bean cake. Just leave the food preparation to the servants.”
“Alright! I’ll deliver the dessert to you later. Have some rest now.” She got up from the bed and placed a kiss on his forehead.
“Okay.”
She then cleared the bowl on the table along with the thermal flask and headed for the door. “Get some good rest.”
He flashed her a sweet, assuring smile in return. “Okay!”
It was not until several minutes after her departure that the smile on his face cooled off.
“Come out.”
Xiao Rou carefully walked out of the room and, after making sure that Gu Feirou had really left, immediately went to lock the door.
“That was quite a scare, hubby.” She clutched her chest, still feeling a little jittery and panicky. “She almost discovered me. I was nearly scared to death. Thank God I have quick wits.”
“Come here.”
The obedient woman walked to the bedside. Instantly, she felt aggrieved when she noticed the displeasure written all over his face.
“Lose the things I give you again and I’ll have you kicked out.”
“I’m sorry, hubby. It’s all my fault, but I didn’t drop them on purpose.” She sobbed while kneeling by the bedside and clutching his hand.
The sight of her distressed, teary face instantly made his heart start aching. He could no longer bear to reprimand her.
“Silence.”
Xiao Ruo immediately clammed up as she gazed straight at the man with teary, doe-like eyes.
“What did you use to scare her?”
The woman smugly replied, “A skull.”
“…”
“There is plenty of other stuff in that room. I was sure that she would venture into the room, so I hid behind one of Hades’ guards to give her a good scare. It’s such a pity that her legs gave way out of fear before she could even step into the room.” She lamented in resignation.
“Hades’ guards?”
“Yeah. They are figurines that are even taller than me.”
Lin Jingxuan’s lips curled when he heard that. “She’ll be moving in here to stay with me in a couple of days, so you’ll have to move back home before that happens.”
This news upset her at once. “Do I have to be separated from you again?”
“I’ll come find you once I’m healthy.”
She clung onto his arm. “I can’t go a day without seeing my hubby, though. I’ll miss you a lot.”
He was very pleased to hear these words. He had been longing to hear the woman whose face resembled Ye Erruo say this.
