"Ugh …"

Easily itchy...

What was licking her was itchy and uncomfortable.

Li Yang kicked away the unknown object on his body, but it didn't take long for the itchy feeling to return …

She opened her eyes with great effort, revealing a mass of snow-white fur. That mass of snow-white fur extended its pink tongue, constantly licking her body.

She was so scared that she immediately lifted up her heavy body. A towel fell off her forehead. She picked up the towel and saw that it was a small Samoyed dog. She took a closer look and realized it was the stray dog she had picked up in the rain.

"Woof woof — woof woof!" The dog let out a sigh of relief when it saw Li Yang wake up. It began jumping around her while wagging its tail and barking happily.

"Cough, cough …" "Cough, cough …" His throat felt unbearably dry and itchy, and his head felt a little dizzy. Li Yang couldn't help but start coughing.

She was coughing as she touched her forehead. It was still a little hot. She must have had a fever last night. A fever? When he thought of this, the events of yesterday replayed in front of his eyes like a movie …

She seemed to have gone to the banquet to borrow money from Chen Xu. She had used some methods to get him to agree to borrow money. Afterwards, Uncle Ji had called her …

Li Yang fumbled for the phone beside his pillow in a fluster. He took a look and saw that it was already 3 in the afternoon. Her eyes widened. "Mom …"

The corner of her eye suddenly dropped. She quickly dialed Uncle Ji's number. After two rings, the other side quickly answered. "Size …"

"Sis" was interrupted by Li Yang's panic. "Uncle Ji …" Cough cough … My mom, how is she... "Cough, cough …"

"Eldest Miss, the Madam is fine. As for you, have you caught a cold?" Uncle Ji's concerned voice came from the other end of the phone, "Eldest Miss, you have to take care of yourself. The Li family can only rely on you now …"

Hearing that his mother was fine, Li Yang felt relieved. "Cough, cough …" Uncle Ji, I'm fine … "It's just been hard on you …"

"Eldest Miss …" Uncle Ji wanted to say something, but he hesitated. Li Yang knew what Uncle Ji wanted to say. She held back her coughing, letting her voice sound calm, "Uncle Ji, don't worry. I'll be fine. Mom will be fine too. I'll hang up first …"

"Cough, cough …" "Cough, cough …" Li Yang hung up the phone, covered his mouth with his hand, and coughed. Tears rolled down his face as he coughed …

"Howl …" The small Samoyed dog seemed to be infected by her emotions and started to feel sad as well. It kept rubbing its fluffy little head against her body while whimpering …

Li Yang finally picked it up, but his crying only got worse. Heavens, what the hell was she supposed to do? Where on earth should she go to pay for her mother's surgery...

Li Yang cried until he was tired from crying before resting on his knees. Out of the corner of his eyes, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of a slender body and a pair of cold, merciless peach blossom eyes …

"Lu Qimu?" With the cold and the fact that she had just cried, her voice became hoarse and nasal. He actually stayed in this room without making a sound, coldly staring at everything that had happened while she, unexpectedly, did not notice at all …

Thinking about how he could see her helpless and miserable appearance, Li Lang felt both ashamed and sad. She wanted to say something, but she couldn't help but cough first. "Cough …" "Cough, cough …"

Her delicate face was flushed red, but he remained unmoved …

Lu Qimu's back was against the French window, his arms crossed leisurely in front of his chest. The early summer sun had dyed his black hair with a gentle light, but his eyes seemed to have been frozen.

"One billion!" "I'll pay for your family's debt. Three hundred thousand yuan. Your mother's surgery fee, I'll pay for it for you."

"One billion three hundred thousand, you, marry me!"

"Wh, what?!"

Li Yang was so scared by Lu Qimu's words that his whole body trembled, and he even stopped coughing. She reached out her hand to rub her forehead, and it was indeed a little hot.

Li Yang only felt that she didn't have enough intelligence, and couldn't react in time. When she finally came back to her senses and wanted to ask him what he meant by that, he had already stepped out of the door, leaving only his beautiful back.

She quickly put on her shoes and chased after him. At the door, she accidentally bumped into the maid who was about to enter the room. Luckily, the maid was quick with her actions, so she didn't knock over the tray in her hands.

"Good afternoon, Miss Li." The maid greeted her with a smile, then told her, "My apologies, sir, but I've instructed you not to leave this room for the next few days."

"Cough, cough …" "Why …" Puzzled, Li Yang coughed and asked …

"Mister has a noble identity and is our master. We will do as he commands, but why would we dare to ask so many questions?" The maid explained to her in a good-natured manner before introducing herself, "Miss Li, my name is Siyu. You can call me Xiaoyu. From today onwards, I will take care of your living arrangements."

"You've got a cold, I've prepared some light food and cold medicine, take advantage of the heat to eat …" Siyu walked past her into the room and placed the contents of the tray on the table. It was a prepared cold medicine, sticky rice porridge, and some light side dishes.

"Cough, cough …" "Thank you …" Li Yang couldn't bear to refuse Siyu's good temper. Under her fervent gaze, he swallowed the porridge and medicine in his stomach.

Li Yang watched as Siyu tidied up the dishes with a happy expression. He had a strange feeling in his heart.

"Miss Li, I'll be leaving first. If you're sick, you must rest well. If you need anything, just call me …"

"Okay, cough …" "Thank you …"

Siyu left the room carrying a tray. In this short half hour, she didn't know what had happened, nor did she know how to react. She felt like a robot that was numb to her life. Every movement was mechanical and slow until her cell phone started ringing …

Li Yang saw the word "Uncle Ji" jumping up and down on the phone. He quickly picked up the call. "Hello, Uncle Ji —"

"Eldest Miss, the doctor just came to say that she will be able to operate on Madam tomorrow —"

"Really?" Li Yang could not believe what he had heard.

"It's true. I heard that the attending physician was invited from overseas to perform an operation on Madam." Tears streamed down Uncle Ji's face. "Eldest Miss, that's great. Madam can be saved!"

Li Yang suppressed his coughing and talked to Uncle Ji for a while longer before hanging up after instructing him on some matters. Everything seemed like a dream, so unreal.

What was going on? Suddenly the hospital said, "Tomorrow for my mother's operation?!" She clearly didn't have the money to pay for the operation, but in the end, who was the one helping her …

"One billion. I'll pay for you, three hundred thousand. I'll pay for your mother's surgery."

"One billion three hundred thousand, you, marry me."

The words that Lu Qimu had said before he left rang in Li Yang's mind again and again. She could not understand why Lu Qimu would do such a thing. What motive or purpose did he have?!

However, as long as she could survive, regardless of the reason or the purpose, it would not be important. In her heart, her mother's life was the most important.

Moreover, no matter what Lu Chi Mo's reason was, it couldn't be any worse for her.

The most important matter had been solved, and the stone in her heart that was so heavy that she couldn't breathe had been put down. With the addition of the cold medicine he had just taken, he quickly became drowsy and went to sleep.

Siyu lightly opened the door, walked to the bedside, and found Li Yang already asleep. She quietly closed the door and left, sending a short message, "Sir, Miss Li is very obedient after you left and doesn't have the slightest temper. Now that she's asleep after taking the medicine, you can rest assured."

Li Yang slept rather late, so Siyu didn't wake him up at dinner. It wasn't until around ten o'clock, when Siyu was out of ideas, that she had to wake him up to drink some porridge, eat some medicine, and then go back to sleep.

The next time he woke up, it was already the morning of the second day. Although he was still coughing a little, he felt much better and the fever had completely subsided.

Although she really wanted to accompany her mother when her mother operated today, Lu Qimu had instructed her not to go out for the next few days. She didn't know what Lu Qimu was thinking, nor did she dare to offend him.

On this day, Li Yang and Uncle Ji kept in touch. Li Yang kept paying attention to his mother's condition over the phone, until Uncle Ji happily told her that after the operation was successful, Li Yang discovered that his hands were covered in sweat and the corners of his eyes were wet.

Ever since he had said those words, Lu Chi Mo did not show himself again, and Li Yang ate and slept like a pig for a few days, finally recovering from his illness. He even filled in the meat that had lost weight a few days ago, his face was rosy and moist, and he was so tender that it seemed like he could pinch water.

In the past few days of boredom, Li Yang had been accompanied by Siyu and 'cream'. 'Cream' was the name Li Yang gave to the little Samoyed dog, and when it slept, its snow-white fur curled up into a ball, looking especially like a lump of sweet cream, so Li Yang started to call it 'Cream'.

While Li-Yang was having a good time with Cream, she heard the sound of the car going off outside the window, and her teasing voice quivered.

This was the first time she had heard the sound of a car in the past few days. It was not hard to guess that Lu Qimu had returned.

When she saw that he was no longer teasing her, he licked her hand coquettishly, kept rubbing his head against her, and then looked at her pitifully with his big eyes.

"Good girl …" "Stop messing around …" Li Lang reached out and picked up the 'cream', then turned around and met with a pair of ice-cold peach blossom eyes.

He seemed to be like this forever, cold and proud, as if no one could enter his eyes.

Li Yang didn't dare to keep looking at him, so he quickly lowered his eyes to look at the bottom of his pants, which didn't have a single fold on them …

When his pants got closer to her, a low, cold voice sounded above her head. "Do you have the account book with you?"
