After Rebirth, I Married the Archenemy of My Ex-Husband

Chapter 506

The nurse smiled gently following Xia Qiqi's gaze and said, "Today, Dr. Ye immediately received two high fever patients - one was you, and the other was the gentleman in the next room, also with a fever of 40 degrees Celsius. During this period, influenza is prevalent, and with the sudden drop in temperature, it's really easy to get sick if you're not careful."

Xia Qiqi pursed her lips.

She thought it was just her body being weak.

Xiao Nanchen wasn't doing well either.

She walked past that resting room and went into the adjacent VIP room to lie down.

The nurse gave her medicine and started an IV drip.

Xia Qiqi had been afraid of pain since childhood.

Even getting an IV drip could make her cry out miserably.

The hand Xiao Nanchen was using to type on the keyboard suddenly paused.

But then, he remained expressionless.

Xia Qiqi lay on the bed, utterly bored.

She couldn't sleep.

She didn't feel like watching TV or using her phone either, and she had a severe headache.

She felt soft and limp on the bed, worse than death.

She always regretted things afterwards.

She let out a long sigh.

As she was about to call An Nuan, her phone suddenly rang.

Xia Qiqi glanced at the caller ID and answered, "Ziming."

"Did you go to the hospital?"

"Yes, I'm getting an IV drip now."

"I've handled the work matters, I'll be right over."

"No need..."

"Don't argue, I'm coming to keep you company." The voice on the other end was firm.

In the end, Xia Qiqi chose to remain silent.

Half an hour later.

Nie Ziming entered Xia Qiqi's resting room.

Seeing Xia Qiqi's condition, he looked evidently distressed, "I'm sorry, Qiqi, it's all my fault. If I hadn't left you, then..."

"Let's not talk about yesterday." Xia Qiqi interrupted him, "After all, it was your birthday yesterday, you were the most important."

The words Nie Ziming was about to say seemed to be swallowed back.

He held Xia Qiqi's hand, "Qiqi, give me some time. Can you trust me?"

"Mmm." Xia Qiqi nodded.

She had never actually doubted Nie Ziming.

It's just that sometimes she couldn't understand his actions.

"Ziming, I'm a bit tired. I want to sleep for a while." Xia Qiqi changed the subject.

"Go ahead and sleep, I'll stay by your side."

"Mmm."

As Xia Qiqi was about to lie down, Nie Ziming helped her.

Seeing that she was wearing rather thick clothes, he quickly said, "Take off your clothes before sleeping, the heating here is sufficient, and you'll sweat under the blanket if you wear too much, which could worsen your cold."

Xia Qiqi nodded at first.

But then she suddenly refused.

She thought about the marks on her neck.

The thick clothes could still cover them, but if she took them off, everything would be exposed. freew𝚎bn𝐨𝘃𝐞𝗹.𝗰𝚘𝗺

She hurriedly said, "No need, I feel cold with the fever."

Nie Ziming didn't force Xia Qiqi, and simply helped her lie down.

Xia Qiqi thought she wouldn't be able to sleep.

But after closing her eyes in a daze, she fell asleep.

After falling asleep, she did feel a little warm.

She unconsciously tugged at her clothes.

Nie Ziming also clearly saw the sweat on Xia Qiqi's forehead, so he bent down to take off her clothes.

As he unbuttoned Xia Qiqi's thick clothes, he immediately noticed the marks on her fair skin's neck, which were very obvious.

Nie Ziming's expression instantly changed.

The hand unbuttoning her clothes unconsciously clenched into a fist.

With such force that his knuckles were turning white.

They hadn't done anything last night.

So...

His suppressed rage was burning furiously.

Last night, he wasn't any better off than Xia Qiqi. If it weren't for the shares at stake, how could he possibly reject Xia Qiqi?

He truly hated it!

Gritting his teeth in hatred!

Now, seeing the marks on Xia Qiqi's body.

He could only endure.

Endure like he had seen nothing.

He couldn't openly confront Xia Qiqi, as he still needed her to obtain Xia Union Bank.

But ultimately, he was a man.

He had to admit that he truly loved Xia Qiqi.

Seeing his beloved woman bear the marks left by another man, he would also become enraged and frenzied.

His distorted expression lasted for a very long time.

A very long time.

Eventually, he put Xia Qiqi's clothes back on her.

Then, little by little, he suppressed and diluted his anger.

When Xia Qiqi woke up, it was Nie Ziming calling her.

Saying the IV drip was finished and they could go home.

It was only then that she noticed the IV drip had indeed completed.

Nie Ziming helped her apply pressure to the area where the IV needle had been.

"What time is it now?"

"It's afternoon, are you hungry? I'll take you to eat." Nie Ziming said gently.

Truly no different from usual.

Xia Qiqi was quite startled.

She had actually slept until the afternoon.

But then again, she hadn't really slept at all last night, her mind filled with thoughts of Xiao Nanchen...

Never mind, don't think about it anymore.

She and Nie Ziming left the resting room together.

As they passed by the adjacent room, Xia Qiqi habitually glanced inside.

That one glance left her utterly agitated.

Nie Ziming also saw it.

They saw Xiao Nanchen leaning against the headboard, his IV drip completed, but with blood flowing back.

Xia Qiqi rushed in without hesitation, waking Xiao Nanchen, "Wake up, your IV drip is finished."

Xiao Nanchen opened his eyes, looking at the frightened and pale Xia Qiqi before him.

He glanced at his own IV drip.

After handling work matters, he had simply lain on the bed for a while. Not wanting to be disturbed, he had asked all the nurses and orderlies not to stay in his room, saying they would press the call button when the IV was finished. But he had ended up dozing off.

As for Xia Qiqi's agitation, Xiao Nanchen pretended not to notice. He calmly pressed the button and said, "The IV drip is finished, there's some backflow."

"Okay, we'll be right there."

Soon, the nurse hurried over.

She promptly dealt with Xiao Nanchen's backflow emergency.

Xia Qiqi waited anxiously by the side.

Nie Ziming was also there.

His cold gaze fixed on Xia Qiqi and Xiao Nanchen.

He even noticed the marks on Xiao Nanchen's neck.

Both sick, both with kiss marks...

Nie Ziming clenched his fist tightly in secret.

The nurse quickly sorted out Xiao Nanchen's IV drip and repeatedly apologized.

Xiao Nanchen said it was no big deal.

He got up from the hospital bed, put on his scarf and coat, took his laptop, and left directly.

From start to finish, he didn't say a single word to Xia Qiqi, not even exchanging a glance.

He didn't even express the most basic "thank you."

His attitude towards Xia Qiqi was a hundred times colder than towards the nurse.

Xia Qiqi felt rather displeased in her heart.

Watching Xiao Nanchen's retreating figure, she truly had the thought of "might as well let the backflow kill him" for being so busy-bodied.

"Let's go." Nie Ziming embraced Xia Qiqi.

Xia Qiqi seemed to only then realize that Nie Ziming was still there.

Her eyes flickered slightly.

"He won't be grateful to you." Nie Ziming smiled, his tone sounding very gentle.

Xia Qiqi's throat moved slightly.

She suddenly felt a little dazed.

Had her feelings for Xiao Nanchen and Nie Ziming... changed?
