Su Chen watched Lin Ruoxue ascend the stairs, her figure retreating from view, and silently made a decision...
Around 10 o'clock, Lin Ruoxue turned off the lights and went to bed, while Su Chen stealthily slipped out. Of course, he went to the estate to practice his cultivation.
The next morning, before Mrs. Wang got up, he quietly rushed back.
Today, however, he did not cook breakfast but lay directly in bed, picking up a copy of "n's Wear" magazine from the bedside to flip through.
Just after six o'clock, Mrs. Wang also got up. Seeing that Su Chen hadn't gotten up to make breakfast, she went ahead and prepared it herself.
When breakfast was almost ready, Lin Ruoxue got up too. Thanks to a good night's sleep the day before, she appeared radiant and energetic!
As Lin Ruoxue descended the staircase in her silk nightgown, she casually glanced at the living room downstairs.
But her eyes quickly narrowed, and anger surged from within.
"Mrs. Wang, did that bastard go out again early in the morning?"
Lin Ruoxue asked with a sowhat livid face, feeling that the man was becoming more and more outrageous. She had just spoken to him about it yesterday, and she hadn't expected him to pull such a stunt again today!
"I don't know."
Mrs. Wang turned her head with a clueless expression while holding the spatula:
"But he probably didn't. The last two tis he went out, the young master would call to let know."
"Then where is he?"
"Could he still be sleeping in his room?"
Mrs. Wang said doubtfully, while thinking to herself: Your own husband, why are you asking ?
Hearing Mrs. Wang's words, Lin Ruoxue was also slightly taken aback.
Because in the past few months, Su Chen had never slept in this late before.
And it was precisely because of this that Lin Ruoxue assud the guy had gone out again!
"I'll go have a look."
Lin Ruoxue went straight to Su Chen's room after descending the stairs, with Mrs. Wang following behind.
"Su Chen."
Lin Ruoxue called out softly from outside the door, but there was no response.
"Su Chen."
Lin Ruoxue called out again, this ti a little louder, still no response.
"Su Chen."
Lin Ruoxue raised her voice further and also tapped lightly on the door, yet still received no response.
"That bastard!"
Lin Ruoxue clenched her teeth and squeezed out three words.
Mrs. Wang looked at Lin Ruoxue, who seed on the verge of erupting like a volcano, and couldn't help but feel a bit scared.
Just as Lin Ruoxue was about to turn and leave, a low "hmm" sounded from inside.
Lin Ruoxue imdiately halted, hastily tried the doorknob, and found that the door wasn't locked.
She pushed the door open and entered, seeing Su Chen lying on the bed with a rather pale face, his forehead dotted with beads of sweat.
"Husband, what's wrong with you?"
Lin Ruoxue was instantly panicked, rushing to his side in a quick stride.
Originally, Mrs. Wang had been standing outside the door, but upon hearing Lin Ruoxue's words, she too imdiately ca in. Seeing Su Chen in such a state, she was also greatly shocked.
"Young master, what's happened to you?"
Mrs. Wang quickly reached out to touch Su Chen's forehead and found it burning hot.
"Miss, the young master is running a high fever!"
Lin Ruoxue also reached out to touch and, feeling the heat from Su Chen's forehead, her heart tightened.
"Husband, let's go, I'll take you to the hospital!"
At that mont, Lin Ruoxue's mind was devoid of any other thoughts; she was thrown into a state of panic.
"I'll go start the car, husband, just wait a mont."
Having said that, Lin Ruoxue turned to leave, but as soon as she made to move, Su Chen caught her arm.
"No need, it's nothing."
Su Chen shook his head slightly:
"I just need to sleep and drink so water, and I'll be fine."
"How can you not go to the hospital when you have a fever like this?"
Lin Ruoxue said softly:
"Shall we go get so IV drips?"
"No need, rest assured, I know what I'm doing. Have you forgotten? I'm a doctor too."
Su Chen's voice was weak and he looked very fragile.
"Is that really okay?"
Lin Ruoxue knew that his dical skills were very high, but seeing him so frail and sick, she couldn't help but worry.
"Don't worry, I wouldn't joke about my own health."
Su Chen squinted his eyes and said:
"Wife, you should go to work now. Today we are going to welco the delegation from the Sloley Group. So many companies are competing; it's better for you to get to the group and prepare early."
"Then... okay."
Lin Ruoxue had no choice but to comply, also because she really didn't have ti today:
"Wang Ma, please take good care of him. Call imdiately if anything happens."
"Don't worry, Miss, I'll take good care of the young master."
Wang Ma nodded her head.
"Wife, I'm sorry. I was supposed to be your interpreter today, but I'm afraid it's not going to work."
Su Chen said apologetically, and a flicker of brightness passed almost imperceptibly through his eyes!
"That's a small matter, your health is the most important!"
Lin Ruoxue said as she helped to tuck him in the blanket a bit more, so he wouldn't catch a cold.
Watching Lin Ruoxue's subtle movent, Su Chen also felt a wave of emotion rise in his heart.
"All right, then I'll leave first."
Lin Ruoxue stood up and said:
"Wang Ma, let my husband have so porridge first, then take so dicine from the dicine box for him later."
"Okay, rest assured."
After sending Lin Ruoxue out the door, Wang Ma imdiately served Su Chen a bowl of millet porridge, then poured him a cup of warm water and placed so fever-reducing dicine aside.
"Young master, take the dicine after a while and have a good sleep, I'll step out then."
Wang Ma instructed.
"Okay."
"I'll be at ho, just call if you need anything."
"Okay, Wang Ma, go ahead with your work."
"Hmm, young master, I'll close the door for you."
"Thank you."
Once Wang Ma had closed the door behind her, Su Chen imdiately sat up and muttered:
"Pretending to be sick is damned difficult indeed!"
Yes, the decision Su Chen made was to escape!
Besides pretending to be sick, he couldn't find any other way to avoid the situation...
Because once he t Eniel, he had no idea what could happen. That woman's thoughts simply couldn't be asured by common sense.
Besides, Su Chen still hoped that Eniel didn't know about his situation, although he knew the likelihood was slim. But what if?
Su Chen had been planning to imdiately use his Cultivation Technique to recover, but thinking it over, he decided to wait until the afternoon, just to be safe.

After all, he had to make the act look real! So Su Chen picked up the n's magazine "Man's World" and began to "research."
Actually, during this ti, Lin Ruoxue still called twice to check with Wang Ma. Only after hearing that there were no big problems did she feel relieved.
By three or four o'clock in the afternoon, Su Chen felt it was about ti and silently ran the Nine Yang Divine Technique. His "serious illness" miraculously disappeared.
No more back soreness, no more leg pain, no more feverish head, no more pale face; he was up and bouncing around...
