Ming Qianye frowned and said, “Wait for me.”

As she spoke, she opened the car door, picked up the backpack, and walked over with the bag containing a few books.

…

The Canglan Courtyard was the Devil Shen Tinglan’s home. It was located halfway up Qinglan Mountain, and below it was Canglan Harbor. It was across the harbor from her Wenlan District. The distance between the two places wasn’t far, but it would take at least half an hour to drive there as they would have to pass through Canglan Bridge.

The villa area was surrounded by maple forest, and Fa Tong Avenue, a straight road, led directly to the courtyard.

“Miss Ming, I’m sorry. I took the initiative to call you over. Young Master’s condition hasn’t been very stable these past few days. Last night, he drank a little when he was discussing something with his partner. He even had a cold, so he had a mild fever today. He has been insisting on working and not cooperating with the doctor. He didn’t take any medicine and didn’t eat dinner. He hasn’t had a good rest for many days…”

Tang Feng said, suddenly lowering his head apologetically.

Ming Qianye frowned and glanced at him. “If he’s not feeling well, find a doctor. What can I do?”

“Young Master is not cooperating. With you around, he might be able to stabilize a little… Sorry for the trouble, Miss Ming!”

Tang Feng’s tone was filled with anxiety and worry, and his tone was pleading.

A complicated look clouded Ming Qianye’s clear eyes. She hesitated for a moment and finally walked in.

Tang Feng heaved a sigh of relief and quickly got the servant to deliver the tray to Ming Qianye.

The luxurious living room was empty. The lights were dim, but it was very quiet and peaceful.

Ming Qianye carried the tray upstairs and soon passed through the hall on the second floor, arriving in front of a thick, heaving door decorated with carvings. She reached out and pressed the sensor area beside it. Soon, the heavy door slowly opened and a gentle light poured out.

After walking in, the door automatically closed behind her.

The security at the Canglan Courtyard was very strict. Shen Tinglan was very vigilant, but Ming Qianye was a special case. Even Tang Feng found this unbelievable. Therefore, he voluntarily suggested inviting Ming Qianye over and thought,

“Since she was Master’s fiancée, she could definitely persuade Master.”

As soon as she entered the study, she felt a cold and familiar aura. The quiet wind surged in from the balcony, carrying a hint of the coldness of the night. The room felt inexplicably cold.

Ming Qianye looked around and soon saw the man on the sofa. His suppressed coughs were faint, accompanied by the sound of pages flipping. It was the sound of the wind blowing and automatically flipping over the documents on his lap…

He was leaning against the sofa. Under the dim light, his usually noble and handsome face looked a little pale. His chest was heaving slightly, and his dark eyebrows were slightly furrowed. His eyes were closed, and his long eyelashes trembled slightly with his every light cough. His slender and cold hand was holding a white handkerchief, and there was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead… At this moment, he actually looked a little fragile.

As if sensing her approach, the man opened his eyes wearily. There was a hint of vigilance in his slightly cold and blurry eyes. When he saw her figure clearly, he closed his eyes again.

“What are you doing here?”

His voice was low and hoarse, accompanied by a faint coolness. It was familiar yet distant. Right after that, he coughed lightly a few times.

Ming Qianye placed the tray in her hand on a low table and sat down next to him without saying a word. She looked at him quietly.

At this moment, he had lost all his defenses. Ming Qianye had seen him like this many times. However, Ming Qianye knew that the man beside her had a brilliance that could compare with that of the sun and moon. Even though he was silent, she could still feel his aura.

“Tang Feng said that you’re not feeling well and you won’t cooperate with the treatment, so I came to take a look,”

Ming Qianye replied in a low voice.

“He’s nosy,”

he reprimanded in a low voice and struggled. His still eyes opened, and his gaze was filled with a blurry trace of femininity. It was very complicated. He looked at her and finally fell over slowly without saying anything…

The luxurious study suddenly felt a little cramped. Ming Qianye quickly reached out to support him before he fell.

Ming Qianye let him lean on her shoulder and put her slightly cold hand on his forehead. Feeling the scorching temperature, her eyes darkened. She stared at the face in front of her and hurriedly reached out to take the medicine and water beside her.

“Take the medicine first.”

Shen Tinglan didn’t respond…

It wasn’t until a few seconds later that he opened his eyes. His dark eyes were filled with annoyance at being disturbed, but when he looked into Ming Qianye’s eyes, he restrained himself, calmed down and swallowed the medicine silently. He took two sips of warm water…

Then, he leaned back and continued to sleep. His pale face seemed to have a hint of peace now.

Ming Qianye quietly looked at the Devil who had fallen asleep. His long eyelashes trembled slightly, covering the darkness in his starry eyes. After a while, she reached out and brushed the messy hair on his forehead.

Shen Tinglan was born prematurely. He had been taking medicine non-stop since he was young. His health was not good, and his immunity was very poor. This kind of congenital illness was very difficult to treat. The Shen family had spent a lot of manpower and resources to hire famous doctors everywhere for help, but he still could not get better. Everyone said that he would not live long.

However, Ming Qianye knew very well how amazing this man’s willpower was. He had survived critical illnesses time and time again and lived tenaciously until now. Moreover, he forced himself to live like others and tried his best to prove to himself that he was not a piece of trash who could not be in control of his bodily conditions.

Perhaps it was because of his strong willpower, but after years of treatment, his body gradually improved. Now, he had recovered quite well. Even those top doctors said that it was a miracle.

Ming Qianye actually admired him. She was impressed by his abilities and his unyielding tenacity, but she also resisted and even hated his coldness and indifference. He was unscrupulous and unpredictable…

However, regardless of admiration or resistance, they still seemed to be unable to escape their fate. They became engaged and would officially become husband and wife in the future and live their lives together.

Ming Qianye was an easygoing person and already knew very well and accepted her future. Therefore, she couldn’t put him aside and hoped that he would get better.

After pondering for a long time, Ming Qianye looked at the man who had fallen asleep in her arms and suddenly patted his back gently. “Go back to the bedroom and sleep.”

Then, she removed the document from his lap, stretched out her hands, and helped him up by the waist. Then, she walked into the bedroom.

Shen Tinglan didn’t stir and slept peacefully.

Tang Feng, who walked in behind, was obviously stunned when he saw this scene!
