Chapter 131 Mr. Qu, you are sick
Shen Guining was almost knocked down by it, and quickly took two steps back to steady herself.

Ruby kept tugging at her.

Afraid of losing her balance, Shen Guining squatted down and hugged it. "I'm sorry Ruby, I didn't mean to take so long to come."

Ruby clung to her for a while, then suddenly grabbed her trouser leg and headed towards the bedroom.

Shen Guining asked suspiciously, "What's wrong, Ruby? We can't go into the room."

Ruby wouldn't listen, so she led her to the master bedroom door, "Aww..."

Shen Guining bent down to stroke its fur and coaxed, "How about we play in the living room? Mr. Qu will be angry if we go into the bedroom."

Ruby is usually obedient, but for some reason she's being so persistent right now.

"Is there anything in the room that you insist on going in?" Shen Guining was genuinely puzzled.

After a long standoff at the door, she finally gave in and opened it to take a peek.

The curtains of the French windows were half-drawn, and light shone at the foot of the bed.

On the Italian-style luxury bed, there was a raised area in the center of the bedding, indicating that someone was there.

Shen Guining murmured in surprise, "Mr. Qu is home?"

Ruby looked up, "Aww..."

Shen Guining quickly covered its mouth, "Shh, it's sleeping, don't make noise."

Ruby broke free and ran straight to the bedside.

Shen Guining lowered her voice and called out, "Ruby, come back..."

"Awooo..." it cried out twice more.

Qu Yanci was a light sleeper, and he had already sensed when the door opened, but he was a little dizzy and didn't want to pay attention to it.

Ruby ran to his bedside and barked, which annoyed him. He opened his eyes and said in a deep voice, "You're noisy."

His voice was low and hoarse, and you could hear that it was slightly nasal.

Shen Guining immediately realized what was happening and, without thinking, entered the room. "Mr. Qu, are you sick?"

His face was redder than usual, and his brow was furrowed; something was clearly wrong. Qu Yanci kept his eyes closed and remained silent.

Shen Guining approached and reached out to touch his forehead. Her palm was burning hot, and the sweat on it was sticky. "You have a fever. Have you taken any medicine? Should we go to the hospital to get it checked out?"

Qu Yanci frowned, removed her hand, and said in a muffled, tired voice, "No need."

The scorching breath spread through the air.

"I'll go find you some fever reducer."

Shen Guining turned around and went to the living room to find the medicine box. After checking the date on the medicine box and confirming that it was correct, she returned to the island counter to get a cup and pour warm water.

She went back to the room, squatted on the edge of the bed, read the instructions, took out two capsules and put them in her palm, then woke him up, "Mr. Qu, take your medicine before you go back to sleep."

Qu Yanci opened his eyes, his gaze slightly unfocused. He met her gaze for a moment, then propped himself up on his elbows.

Shen Guining opened her palm, and seeing that he had no intention of taking it, she had no choice but to put the capsule into his mouth. The hot breath from his lips lingered on her fingertips, and she felt a slight itch as she touched it.

She deliberately ignored it and picked up the water glass to feed him.

Qu Yanci's gaze gradually cleared, and he looked up to see the worry on her face.

After he finished taking his medicine, Shen Guining asked, "Why did you suddenly get a fever?"

Hasn't he always been in good health?
Qu Yanci gave a lazy snort, "I'm not a god, it's normal to get sick, isn't it?"

Shen Guining remained silent.

In her mind, Qu Yanci had always been a strong and invincible figure.

She forgot that he was just an ordinary person who could get sick and get hurt.

"You should continue resting." Shen Guining put down her water glass and waved to Ruby, "Come on, let's go out and play."

Ruby obediently followed her away.

Shen Guining closed the door.

Worried that playing in the living room would disturb Qu Yanci, she thought about it and decided to take Ruby out for a walk instead.
