<h4>Chapter 1165: High Fever</h4>


    Gong Yi drank a cup of orange juice and then stayed in ye Xiaotao’s room, “Xiaotao, shall we go out for dinner?”


    Ye Xiaotao stood by the window with a cup of warm tea in her hands. She looked at the neon lights at night and shook her head, “I’m not going. I still have to draw.”


    She hadn’t finished her work yet. She closed her eyes in the afternoon and slept until the evening.


    “Then we’ll eat at home. What do you want to eat? I’ll cook it myself.” As he spoke, Gong Yi rolled up his sleeves, “By the way, what did you eat for lunch?”


    Lunch?


    Ye Xiaotao was stunned. She seemed to have... not eaten.


    She didn’t feel hungry now either.


    Gong Yi could roughly guess at her expression. He walked over to her side with his long legs and reached out to hold her face. The girl’s pupils were clearly ck and white. They were watery, and at this moment, there was a hint of sickly weakness. He was moved by her, “Girl, What’s going on? Tell me, huh?”


    Ye Xiaotao looked at the concern in his eyes, “I...”


    Before she could finish her sentence, a car light shed past. Ye Xiaotao heard the sound of a car engineing from downstairs.


    She gently pushed Gong Yi away and reached out to open the pink gauze curtain.


    There was a Maybach parked downstairs. Xue Wu was getting out of the passenger seat.


    “Isn’t that Xue Wu? Who sent her back? That Maybach is a limited edition model. Even wealthy people might not be able to afford it. Sure, it’s been a few days since west met. This Xue Wu has already be one of the richest people on the list.” Gong Yi said with a smile.


    Ye Xiaotao put down the veil, “Oh, that’s the President of the Magnificent Hotel.”


    “The Magnificent Hotel? No wonder. The president of the Magnificent Hotel was very mysterious. Half a year ago, the upper-ss people in the capital held a social party. It was said that the first right-hand seat in the front row of the party was reserved for this president, but he didn’t even show up... Xiaotao, do you think...”


    “That’s enough,” Ye Xiaotao interrupted Gong Yi, “Have you said enough? If you’ve said enough, then leave.”


    “Leave? Why? I still have to cook for you.”


    “There’s no need. Xue Wu is back. It’s not convenient for you to stay here. Hurry up and leave. I’ll contact you another day.” Ye Xiaotao pushed Gong Yi out of the room and then closed the door.


    “Hey, Stinky girl.” Gong Yi looked at the tightly shut door in front of him and didn’t know whether tough or cry.


    This girl was really spoiled by him.


    He sighed, then helplessly curled his lips and turned around to leave.


    ...


    Ye Xiaotao heard Gong Yi leave in the room. A minuteter, the apartment door opened again, and Xue Wu came back.


    Ye Xiaotao walked over and opened the door.


    Xue Wu stood at the entrance to change her shoes. She was in a very good mood and was humming a happy tune. When she saw Ye Xiaotao, she immediately smiled and said, “Xiaotao, you’re home. You came back so early today.”


    Ye Xiaotao pursed her lips and said, “Mn.”


    “Xiaotao, what do you think this is?” Xue Wu opened her palm.


    Ye Xiaotao took a look and saw that it was a pearl.


    The pearl had a fresh color and was obviously expensive.


    “Is this... a gift from someone else?” Ye Xiaotao asked.


    Xue Wu pretended to smile mysteriously. “Xiaotao, take a guess.”


    Xue Wu entered her room with a glowing face.


    Ye Xiaotao looked at Xue Wu’s tightly shut door and stood rooted to the ground. After a long while, she smiled self-deprecatingly and closed her own door.


    Was it so important that Leng Hao gave it to her? Why did she have to ask?


    She had Gong Yi, and he would also have other women to marry from now on.


    She just thought it was funny. That man was so clumsy when he was with her that he wouldn’t give her any gifts. Now that he was with other girls, he seemed to have an epiphany.


    It was so romantic to drive an expensive car to someone else’s ce and give them pearls as gifts.


    But, what did this have to do with her?


    No, it had nothing to do with her at all!


    ...


    Ye Xiaotao didn’t go to the studio because she was sick and had a fever.


    She used the thermometer to check. It wasn’t considered high, but of 39 degrees. She didn’t go to the hospital, but drank some water and covered herself with the nket to sleep and sweat.


    Gong Yi called. She used the excuse of working overtime to push him away. When she opened her eyes again, it was already night time.


    She struggled to sit up from the bed and looked at the time. It was eight o’clock.


    She got up from the bed and felt dizzy. She touched her head with her hand. It was very hot and it was not brought down at all. She probably needed some fever medicine.


    Opening the door, she said hoarsely, “Xue Wu, Xue Wu...”


    The apartment was very quiet. There was no one there.


    Xue Wu did note back.


    Ye Xiaotao stood where she was and was at a loss for a moment. It was eight o’clock at night which was veryte, but Xue Wu did note back. Xue Wu should have gotten off work by five.


    Ye Xiaotao turned around and went to the bedside to get her phone and dialed Xue Wu’s number.


    The phone rang a few times before the other end of the line picked up slowly, “Hello, Xiaotao.”


    “Hello, Xue Wu.” Ye Xiaotao’s throat was very dry. She went to touch the cup on the bedside table, “I have a high fever. Can you bring me some medicine for fever when youe back? I...”


    “Hello, Xiaotao, I can’t talk right now.” Xue Wu lowered her voice and interrupted her.


    Ye Xiaotao froze. She looked down at the cup in her hand. There was not a drop of water in the cup. Under the light, her face was as pale as a piece of paper, “Xue Wu, where... Where are you now? What... are you doing?”


    “Aiyo,” Xue Wu called out in a sweet voice, “I’m busy now. I have someone by my side. Let’s talk when we get back. You know what I mean.”


    “Du du.” Xue Wu hung up the phone.


    Ye Xiaotao held the phone. She listened to the busy tone in a daze. She knew what it meant?


    What did she know?


    Oh, it was probably... Leng Hao took Xue Wu for a meal and then got a hotel room with her.


    Heh.


    With that in mind, Ye Xiaotao’s vision suddenly went dark. All the things just had to happen at this moment that the apartment had a power outrage.


    Ye Xiaotao got up and groped her way to the living room in the dark.


    However, she suddenly stopped in her tracks. What did she want to do?


    She didn’t know how to fix electricity.


    There weren’t any candles in the apartment either.


    So be it. It was good to be dark.


    Ye Xiaotao wanted to sit on the sofa, but she unexpectedly sat on the carpet. Forget it, she felt so cold now. She curled herself up and hugged herself tightly with her two slender arms.


    She wanted to give herself some warmth.


    ...


    After an unknown amount of time, about an hour, the apartment door was opened.


    Xue Wu’s voice sounded, “Why is it so dark here? is the electricity out? Xiaotao, Xiaotao, are you home?”


    There was no sound in the apartment.


    Xue Wu was quite curious. Didn’t Ye Xiaotao have a high fever? She should be at home. Could it be that Gong Yi had picked her up?


    That’s great. Ye Xiaotao isn’t at home and the power was out, so does she have an excuse to invite Leng Hao up?


    His car shouldn’t have left yet.


    Xue Wu immediately took out her phone and dialed Leng Hao’s number.


    The call went through very quickly. Leng Hao’s deep and sexy voice came through. “Hello.”


    “Hello, President. Have you left yet? There’s something I need to trouble you with.”
