He Sao practically crawled over to check on An Junxi, trembling as she asked, "Jun Xi, we’ve called the doctor. How are you feeling?"
An Junxi felt dizzy, her voice hoarse as she said, "Don’t call the doctor."
How could they not call a doctor? He Sao fetched the first aid kit to stop An Junxi’s bleeding and felt her forehead, which was burning hot.
"You have a fever! When did it start? Why didn’t you tell us?" It was all their fault for only focusing on Ai Xi and not noticing Jun Xi.
A high fever can make soone feel lightheaded, no wonder she fell down the stairs. Those stairs were so tall, if sothing serious happened to Jun Xi, she’d be guilty.
He Sao didn’t know if An Junxi had any other injuries and didn’t dare to move her freely. After bandaging her wound to stop the bleeding, she saw Xiao Luo hadn’t yet called the hospital and shouted anxiously, "Haven’t you finished? How long does it take to make a call!"
Xiao Luo, in a panic, forgot the private hospital’s number. She ca over with her phone, "He Sao, what’s the number again?"
He Sao was nearly furious. An Junxi moved her limbs slightly, "I’m fine, help up."
He Sao and Xiao Luo helped An Junxi to sit on the sofa. After lying down for a while, she beca more alert, "Don’t call the doctor, I just bumped my forehead, no big deal."
He Sao heard her struggling to speak and still not wanting to go to the hospital, "Jun Xi, stop being stubborn. You need to get checked at the hospital. What if there’s a complication? Those stairs are so tall; you scared to death!"
An Junxi wiped her nose with a tissue, "I fell when I was almost at the first floor, just a few bumps, not that serious." At most, it was three or four steps. The stairs had carpeting; it wasn’t like she fell from the second floor.
He Sao felt a bit relieved by her words, "How about I call the family doctor to co and check on you?"
An Junxi shook her head, "I’ll take so fever dicine and sleep it off. I’ll go to the hospital for a check-up in a few days."
He Sao still wanted to say sothing, but An Junxi interrupted, "Yi Ke is busy with work in Russia, I don’t want him to know."
Secretary Wang said he indeed went to Russia for business matters. He hadn’t called her for several days. Whatever the reason, she didn’t want to distract him.
She wanted to see how long it would take for him to call and check on the family.
He Sao asked, "Are you sure you don’t need to go to the hospital?"
If they went to the hospital, the young master would surely find out, and he might rush back from Russia. She also feared the young master would bla them if he saw Jun Xi’s state. It was best to wait a few days until her injuries looked less severe before doing a thorough check-up.
An Junxi was very sure, "I’m fine. Go check on Ai Xi. I’ll sleep downstairs tonight."
He Sao helped An Junxi to the guest room and gave her so fever dicine before saying, "With a fever and cold, you shouldn’t be too close to the child. You need to get better first, otherwise, you might pass it to Ai Xi. She likes to cling to her mom every day."
An Junxi lay in bed, her forehead wound throbbing with pain, her throat burning, reluctant to speak further, "He Sao, stop nagging . It’s giving a headache."
He Sao sighed, "You’re a mother now, yet you’re still making people worry."
She instructed Xiao Luo to keep an eye on Jun Xi downstairs while she went to look after Ai Xi.
An Junxi slept intermittently, her nose blocked and breathing difficult. The wound on her forehead prevented her from using an ice pack. Seeing how uncomfortable the young madam was, Xiao Luo used alcohol to rub her limbs to bring down the fever. It wasn’t until the latter half of the night that the fever finally subsided.
An Junxi slept until it was daylight, then it was night again. She was so ill she lost track of the date. She only knew that the family doctor had co twice to give her IV drips.
Gu Jinxiu’s closed training camp during this period relieved her of a burden. But Ai Xi’s cries pained An Junxi. Unable to care for her daughter, she called her parents to co over and help.
Mr. An and Mrs. An were heartbroken seeing An Junxi so sick, "You just gained a bit of weight back, and now you’ve lost it all so quickly. When is Yi Ke coming back?"
Whenever Gu Yikun was ntioned, An Junxi felt a pang in her chest. Not wanting her parents to notice, she turned away, "He’ll be back in a few days."
The two elders weren’t suspicious. They closed the door and went out, "You sleep for a while. We’ll look after Ai Xi." The child had a weak immune system and couldn’t get close to her.
Once the door closed, tears welled in An Junxi’s eyes. Gu Yikun, do you really not think of ho at all?
Gu Yikun returned to the hotel late at night. His business trip had extended a few days beyond his plan.
He had entrusted the new hotel’s investnt project to an outsourcing company. The person in charge was a relative from his mother’s family. He rarely showed such leniency, but he made an exception for his mother’s sake. Yet on his first day, he discovered many issues.
The people here hadn’t expected the CEO to suddenly show up in Saint Petersburg, much less personally oversee every detail. They made no major errors, and their reports were impeccable, but their underhanded tricks hadn’t escaped his scrutiny. Within a few days, he rooted out several managent level staff trying to gloss over their mistakes.
Gu Yikun was furious, and during a eting, he fired a few who had made serious errors on the spot. He called in replacents from headquarters to fill the gaps, not even sparing mbers of the Liang family.
The CEO’s ruthless deanor left the hotel’s staff in a state of panic, working with heightened caution, not daring to make even minor mistakes.
Being fired by the Gu Family ant being blacklisted, making future good prospects impossible. Naturally, they wanted to avoid that fate.
Gu Yikun sternly ordered, "The hotel is about to open. I will personally oversee every detail. I don’t want to see anything similar happen again."
Subsequently, the staff’s work efficiency improved significantly, finally eting his standards.
Another late night return, he soaked in the hotel’s hot tub, only slightly relaxing.
Gu Yikun put on a robe and looked over so docunts. He estimated it would take another three days to wrap everything up before he could return ho.
Thinking of returning, he checked his phone for missed calls. There were none.
Since arriving in Russia, she hadn’t called him once. After so many days of calm, had her anger subsided?
From the mont his private jet landed in Saint Petersburg, he’d wanted to call her. But recalling her irritation at him being kicked out of the master bedroom, he refrained from dialing her number.
He felt he hadn’t done anything wrong. She couldn’t just throw tantrums without reason. Seeing that he hadn’t returned ho, she should call to check on him.
Despite waiting two days, no call ca from ho, further fueling his frustration due to the hotel’s issues. Consequently, he refused to yield.
During the day, work kept him occupied, but lying in bed at night, he couldn’t sleep. Thoughts of her filled his mind, yet he didn’t want to be the first to give in. He didn’t understand why he was tornting himself in this way.
Taking a sip of strong coffee, he stared at her photo on his phone. Now that things had settled, he found himself thinking of her even more.
That little woman really had a temper. She didn’t care about him not being ho for several days.
Frustrated, he set down his phone and resud reviewing docunts. He had only read two pages when the doorbell rang.
He answered the door to find He Sirui standing outside. He asked, "What’s up?"
