After Divorce, Hidden Marriage Husband Became Addicted to Me-Chapter 430 - 301: Paid Leave

But the video Tang Xi saw last night was echoing in her mind.

Perhaps due to the fever, Tang Xi was not in a good state of mind, wanting to sleep as soon as she hit the bed, but her back felt stiff.

After Fu Tingzhou disposed of the trash and came back, he found that Tang Xi had her eyes closed.

Her little face was flushed red from the fever.

Her breathing was heavy and uneven, with her lips slightly parted.

Fu Tingzhou reached out and touched Tang Xi’s cheek.

Tang Xi was feigning sleep.

In an instant, her body tensed up.

But she tried hard to maintain calm and steady.

Fu Tingzhou’s hand then rested on her forehead.

His fingers felt cool and Tang Xi suddenly craved that temperature, wishing it would linger a bit longer.

Tang Xi knew he was probably checking her temperature, but she was a bit surprised because it didn’t seem like something Fu Tingzhou would do.

Fu Tingzhou let out a faint chuckle.

He withdrew his hand and stood by the bedside looking down at Tang Xi.

He could tell she wasn’t asleep and that her eyes were closed as a pretense.

Her forehead was still very hot.

She looked weak and feverish all over.

Tang Xi then heard Fu Tingzhou’s footsteps as he walked to the window and closed the curtains.

Then he walked to the door.

Following the sound of the door opening, Fu Tingzhou walked out.

Tang Xi opened her eyes.

She sat up, patted her chest with her hand, and looked around; she couldn’t find the charger, and her phone was running out of battery. Feeling exceptionally drained and lethargic from her illness, she got out of bed.

After taking a few steps, she suddenly felt a bit dizzy.

She quickly lay back down on the bed, realizing she still needed to rest a while longer.

Suddenly, she heard footsteps again.

Tang Xi quickly closed her eyes and began to pretend to sleep. frёewebnoѵēl.com

A whiff of cool wooden scent mixed with the smell of men’s cologne and disinfectant wafted into the air.

Tang Xi was facing away from him.

But Tang Xi knew he was still in the ward.

Was Fu Tingzhou really so idle?

A big CEO, not busy with work?

Tang Xi clearly heard the faint sounds of a man lightly tapping on a laptop keyboard.

Her ears twitched slightly.

She was very sleepy and tired, but with her eyes closed, she just couldn’t fall asleep.

The man’s voice came slowly from behind her, "If you can’t sleep, get up."

Tang Xi sat up slowly, "I... can I take a day off today?"

Fu Tingzhou’s gaze had been fixed on the laptop, but upon hearing this, he looked up at her cheek. Tang Xi didn’t seem well, looking like a wilting flower, "I’ll give you a week off. During this week, just focus on recovering. Don’t worry about anything else."

After a pause, Fu Tingzhou added, "You will be paid during this leave."

Tang Xi’s eyes lit up slightly.

That’s good, paid leave.

She leaned against the headboard, "You... cough cough, if you’re busy, you can go back. I’m fine here by myself. You don’t have to stay here... uh, what I mean is... keep me company."

Fu Tingzhou glanced at his watch. He was sitting in the caregiver’s chair with the laptop on his legs, and two plan books were placed on the bedside table nearby.

He listened to Tang Xi’s words but did not reply, simply opening one of the plan books and flipping through a few pages.

Tang Xi found herself snubbed.

She wouldn’t think that Fu Tingzhou was specially here to keep her company.

Out of boredom and discomfort, she lay down for a while before feeling the urge to use the restroom.

The community hospital was an old-fashioned one.

The ward didn’t have a private bathroom.

Tang Xi got out of bed, and Fu Tingzhou watched her movements with a frown, "What are you doing?"

"I’m going to... the restroom."

After a few steps, Tang Xi felt dizzy.

This fever, why was it making her so dizzy?

Tang Xi stumbled slightly.

Fu Tingzhou, quick reflexes, caught her. Seeing her flushed face and pale, chapped lips, he swallowed the harsh words he wanted to say. He carried her to the public restroom outside.

Tang Xi felt her face turn red, both from the fever and from being in Fu Tingzhou’s arms.

There weren’t many people around.

A woman walked out of the restroom, looking in astonishment at the man standing by the women’s restroom door, muttering to herself.

Feeling uncomfortable, Tang Xi went inside.

She felt that Fu Tingzhou was behaving very unusually today.

When she came out of the restroom, she saw Fu Tingzhou standing by the door, turned away, on the phone—probably with Shen Duan, discussing matters about tomorrow’s jewelry design competition.

Tang Xi walked over, and Fu Tingzhou ended the call, naturally bending down to pick her up and carry her back to the ward.

It wasn’t even two minutes before Su Xuewen walked in.

Fu Tingzhou said, "She’s been dizzy constantly. Is there something uncomfortable with her body?"
