Chapter 248 - I know Ism hot (1/2)

"Ah-Jie, what are you doing?" When Xu Mey came back home she saw Ye Jie pacing back and forth in the living room. He seemed to be so immersed in his thoughts that he didn't even notice Xu Mey's presence at all.

"Oh... Hey, baby! When did you get back?" Ye Jie asked trying his best to smile but couldn't seem to do so very convincingly.

"Why are you so... red?" Xu Mey instantly came up to him and placed the back of her hand against his forehead to take his temperature. "Ah! You're hot." She moved her hand away as if it was burned.

"You don't have to compliment me all the time." Xu Mey frowned at his reply as he grabbed her waist and said, "I know I'm hot."

Xu Mey rolled her eyes at him and slapped his chest. "Ah-Jie, I meant it literally. You're burning up. Let's go to the hospital."

Xu Mey tried to pull him but he didn't move an inch making Xu Mey groan. "Baby, I'm fine. I'll take some meds and it'll get better. Don't worry too much." Xu Mey wasn't convinced at all. Ye Jie stroked her hair lovingly and changed the topic of discussion. "So, why did your grandfather call you?"

"Oh, that!" Xu Mey grinned widely and went on, "Grandfather is appointing me as the CEO of the Xu Corporation." Ye Jie wasn't surprised, he only smiled seeing her happy face. "Also, did you know that I'm the biggest duffer who didn't even know that she is the biggest shareholder of Xu Corporation."

And just like that Xu Mey kept chattering all about her day as she was snuggled up in his arms. Ye Jie, on the other hand, didn't mind at all. He loved hearing her non-stop chatter. Her voice was making him smile without any reason at all.

During the dinner, taking advantage of her silence, Ye Jie asked, "Are you happy with your grandfather's arrangement?"

"Mm... Yup! I'm very happy actually. It's almost like I finally achieved what I had been working for." Hearing those words from her, Ye Jie naturally felt at ease and didn't say anything else.

After the dinner, Xu Mey checked his fever and gave him some meds since he didn't want to go to a hospital for just a minor fever.

The next morning, when Xu Mey woke up, she realized that Ye Jie was shivering. She immediately checked his temperature and realized that he had a high fever.

"Ah-Jie! Ah-Jie!" Xu Mey tried to wake him up but Ye Jie wasn't responding. "I don't even know what to do!" She was mumbling anxiously and decided to take him to the hospital some way.

She called the housemaid and with her help, she managed to take Ye Jie to the hospital. After the doctors checked him up, she asked, "Is he alright? Why is the fever so high? I gave him the meds last night but it didn't work at all."

"Relax! Miss. He seems to be under some stress and his body is quite tired as well. Proper diet and rest will make him fit in no time. You don't worry." The doctor consoled Xu Mey and left her alone with Ye Jie.

Ye Jie stayed unconscious till nightfall and when he woke up, he saw Xu Mey holding his hand as she sat by the bedside. "Hey!" He called out in his hoarse voice.
