Because she had been in the rain for several hours, she inevitably developed a fever. She hadn't finished eating and her body looked particularly weak.

The doctor gave her a bag of nutrient solution and prescribed fever-reducing medicines, all in bottles, which have the quickest effect.

Ning Chengxu escaped from the room.

To avoid being seen in his gaffe, he went to his study and shut himself up to calm down.

The rain outside the window is still falling, with no sign of stopping.

Raindrops split the glass into cracks, and the study was filled with a low and depressing atmosphere.

Ning Chengxu was half leaning against the window, smoking a cigarette on his fingertips, but his expression was ugly.

At this moment, he opened and closed his eyes, and his mind was filled with the scene of kissing Mavis on the street just now.

My heart couldn't stop beating wildly, and my mood couldn't calm down for a long time.

Why did you just... kiss me?

He never thought that he would do such a ridiculous thing, but at that moment, his brain seemed to be in a daze, and he just wanted to shut up Mavis's endless chatter.

He thought that he would never have feelings for another woman besides Shengge in his life, but at that time, he was really attracted to Mavis for a moment.

He has been in love with Shengge for more than ten years, but he has never even kissed Shengge once.

The first kiss... was given to Mavis.

As if extremely annoyed, Ning Chengxu extinguished his cigarette butts, took out the high-concentration liquor from the bookshelf, and leaned against the window.

Watching the rain and drinking wine.

Trying to numb your nerves and block those random thoughts.

Excessively tired, Mavis slept until the next morning.

When she woke up, she smelled the aroma of porridge.

Ning Jingxuan just came in with the millet porridge cooked in the kitchen, "Sisi, wake up, you scared me to death last night."

Mavis propped herself up, leaned weakly against the head of the bed, and asked in a dumb voice: "How did I get back?"

"My fourth brother brought you back."

She put the porridge bowl on the table and asked seriously: "Honestly, what's going on between you and my fourth brother?"

"What?"

"Sisi, don't pretend to be confused with me. He actually didn't go to the company to pick you up. He asked you to squeeze into the bus and take the subway back, causing you to get lost. Just last night, he even asked me to change your clothes.

There must be something wrong with you two."

Mavis lowered her head and looked at her pajamas, feeling relieved.

Her head was dizzy, but she still remembered that Ning Chengxu kissed her on the roadside last night...

When she thought of that incident, she blushed a little and said to Jing Jingxuan: "It has nothing to do with him. It's my fault. I didn't do some things well in the past two days, which made him sulky with me."

Jing Jingxuan sighed helplessly.

"You know how to protect him and help him cover up."

"I didn't..." Mavis smiled palely, but her eyes were sincere.

Ning Jingxuan sighed again, a little unable to bear to tell Mavis the truth.

Ning Chengxu's actions were simply unacceptable to her. If he were not her fourth brother, she would definitely scold him bloody.

My wife was sick, and she didn't even dare to change a piece of clothing. She didn't even visit her all night, and she didn't even ask the doctor about her condition, let alone take care of her.

I went to the study and stayed there all night, as if I wanted to hide from the plague.

He doesn't seem to care about his wife's health at all.

How did her fourth brother find a wife with his heartless virtue?
