For the past two days, Ling Shuangjiang has been using a cold as an excuse to avoid taking care of herself.
There was no one else around, and he didn't even realize he had kissed Ling Shuangjiang.
And so, under the temptation, Xie Wang gently bit Ling Shuangjiang's lips.
In an instant, he smelled a pleasant fruity aroma.
As for what kind of fruity aroma it is, he'll have to try it again.
One, two, ten...
Gradually, Xie Wang became addicted.
It seems they want to make up for the missed days' worth of payments all at once.
Ling Shuangjiang's lips felt very comfortable to touch.
He can kiss all night long.
At this moment, Ling Shuangjiang suddenly moved, her eyebrows furrowing slightly.
His tone was slightly languid and hoarse: "...Who?"
Xie Wang paused, then said guiltily, "The woodpecker is treating an illness."
Chapter 58 Meeting the Parents
The next day, when Ling Shuangjiang woke up, fresh fruit and milk were already laid out on the table.
Xie Wang was sitting to the side looking at the quarterly report of his investment bank when he soon noticed that Xie Wang had woken up.
Slowly moving closer, Xie Wang propped himself up on his arms and looked down at Ling Shuangjiang, "Shall I take you to brush your teeth and wash your face?"
Ling Shuangjiang blinked gently: "Mm."
In an instant, Xie Wang picked him up, and Ling Shuangjiang instinctively hooked her arms around Xie Wang's neck.
Xie Wang couldn't resist and bit his neck.
Toiletries were already laid out in front of the bathroom mirror.
Ling Shuangjiang only realized her lips were a little sore when she was brushing her teeth.
It seems slightly swollen.
Ling Shuangjiang glanced sideways and immediately noticed Xie Wang's tense expression.
"Where did you rest last night?"
Xie Wang remained expressionless: "Next to you."
Ling Shuangjiang turned to look at him, her gaze questioning: "You didn't do anything, did you?"
"I did it," Xie Wang answered decisively. "To lull my little baby to sleep, I played the woodpecker."
"Woodpecker?" Ling Shuangjiang suppressed a laugh, vaguely recalling the word. "Are you telling a story?"
"Hmm." Xie Wang didn't want to discuss this matter anymore. Hiding his guilty conscience, he coaxed Ling Shuangjiang to wash her face and go to have breakfast with him.
The weather was great today. After dinner, Xie Wang took Ling Shuang back to the city.
Without the mist, the mountain scenery was revealed in its entirety in the early morning. Breathing in the fresh air, Ling Shuangjiang felt much better.
He was able to rest today, and the results of his medical examination came out just in time. Back in Bintan city, Xie Wang drove him directly to see the doctor.
Ling Shuangjiang knew her own constitution very well. She probably didn't have any major health problems, just a weak immune system from childhood. A single cold could take her ten days to two weeks to fully recover.
Upon seeing the doctor, Xie Wang held Ling Shuangjiang's hand and sat down side by side, his expression frequently glancing at him. His serious demeanor made the doctor tense.
The doctor smiled faintly: "Mr. Xie, Mr. Ling currently only has some minor health issues. The abnormalities in his various health data are related to his recent cold. His immunity is indeed a bit weak. We will gradually adjust his lifestyle and diet in the future, and there shouldn't be any major problems."
"Do I need to take medicine?" Ling Shuangjiang asked.
The doctor nodded: "Your body is deficient in multiple vitamins, so you still need to take some medication."
Xie Wang patted Ling Shuangjiang's head gently, as if coaxing a child: "It's okay, the medicine won't be very bitter."
Ling Shuangjiang smiled at him and said, "Mm."
The doctor adjusted his glasses, avoiding Xie Wang's gaze. He took a detailed report from the drawer and handed it to Xie Wang: "This contains Mr. Ling's diet and exercise plan for the next month. You can take a look. Diet is of utmost importance. If possible, I suggest you strictly follow the diet plan."
Xie Wang carefully read through the document: "Okay, I understand. Is there anything else I need to be aware of?"
Doctor: "Don't stay up late, don't catch a cold, otherwise there's nothing seriously wrong."
After saying goodbye to the doctor, Xie Wang carried a bag of medicine and went home with Ling Shuangjiang.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Ling Shuangjiang looked at the names of the medicines one by one and said softly, "How long will it take to take this?"
Xie Wang: "This is a month's supply, mostly nutritional supplements, so it won't taste bad."
The densely packed daily recipes dazzled Ling Shuangjiang.
"As for the recipes, I think it might be a bit difficult, because the crew's meals are all ordered in a unified manner."
"Don't worry, I'll arrange for a dedicated chef to cook for you every day, ensuring you get the freshest meals."
Ling Shuangjiang slowly raised the corners of her eyes: "I suddenly have the illusion of a pure love CEO novel. I guess I'm experiencing being the male protagonist who receives special attention."
While waiting at a red light, Xie Wang pinched his cheek and said, "You were always meant to be my leading man."
Back at Ling Shuangjiang's house, Xie Wang began to repackage the medicine and attach labels to the boxes according to the morning, noon, and evening times and the dosage.
Ling Shuangjiang changed into light blue casual home clothes and sat opposite Xie Wang, observing Xie Wang's serious expression as he wrote. His brows relaxed, and he slowly walked to the coffee machine, intending to make Xie Wang a cup of coffee.
Smelling the aroma of the coffee beside him, Xie Wang looked up and said, "Thank you."
Ling Shuangjiang didn't leave. Instead, she came behind Xie Wang, gently leaned against his back, and hugged him from behind.
"I'll be full after taking all this medicine."
He seemed to be complaining, but his tone was very soft, hiding a hint of coquetry and happiness.
A warm sensation gradually spread along Xie Wang's sweater. He took Ling Shuangjiang's hand and patiently explained to him, "Try it for a month and see the effect. The main thing is to adjust your lifestyle and exercise more."
"I still need to exercise." Ling Shuangjiang buried her head in Xie Wang's neck, her voice muffled: "Does that mean I have to wear the dumbbells you gave me when I go back to the film set this time?"
Xie Wang tilted his head, his nose brushing against Ling Shuangjiang's hair, and said in a deep voice, "You can wear it. But to increase your interest in exercise, I suggest you choose a different one."
"Change it to what?"
"I'll replace the dumbbells with pink ones."
Ling Shuangjiang suppressed a laugh and climbed up from behind Xie Wang: "Is there a difference?"
"It might cheer you up, or you could print out a picture of our little Wu."
"Oh." Ling Shuangjiang sat back in her chair, picked up her mocha and took a couple of bites. "I think my cold is getting better."
"That's good." While arranging the medicine, Xie Wang looked Ling Shuangjiang up and down and noticed that her lips had returned to normal, with a beautiful pink hue.
It seems the woodpecker's treatment last night was quite effective.
At this moment, Ling Shuangjiang raised her eyes to meet his gaze.
This glance betrayed Xie Wang's nervousness.
He quickly lowered his head: "Frost's Descent, the day after tomorrow is my grandfather's birthday banquet. Do you want to go? Almost all of my relatives will be there that day. If you feel uncomfortable or it's too fast to meet the parents, you don't have to go."
Ling Shuangjiang didn't hesitate: "I can go."
He was prepared to be rejected, after all, his relatives were quite a nuisance. Xie Wang asked in surprise, "Go?"
"Mm." Ling Shuangjiang nodded.
Xie Wang smiled gently: "Okay, I'll make the arrangements."
The birthday party is the day after tomorrow, but Ling Shuangjiang has to start filming tomorrow, so buying a gift can only be done today.
So in the afternoon, Xie Wang took him to a nearby shopping center to pick out a gift for Mr. Xie.
"Do you need to go to work? If you're busy, I can choose for myself."
Since the two met, Ling Shuangjiang discovered that Xie Wang's days off were not fixed; sometimes they were weekends, and sometimes they were weekdays.
Xie Wang, driving, said, "No need, I'm off today."
Ling Shuangjiang countered, "So, roughly when do you take a break each week?"
Xie Wang said calmly, "When I'm with you, I'll rest."
Ling Shuangjiang felt that his identity had been expanded once again.
A wicked concubine who brought ruin to the country and its people.
While glancing at Ling Shuangjiang's smiling face out of the corner of his eye, Xie Wang also secretly smiled.
His answer must have been incredibly cool.
She's both doting and domineering.
Inside the mall, Xie Wang helped Ling Shuangjiang put on a mask and hat, covering her up completely. After all, his little Shuangjiang was a superstar.
Ling Shuang let him dress her up, then asked Xie Wang for advice: "What kind of gifts does Grandpa like?"
Xie Wang helped him adjust the position of his hat: "Grandpa likes anything his granddaughter-in-law gives him."
Ling Shuangjiang laughed: "Stop fooling around."
Xie Wang replied earnestly, "I'm not making a fuss. Grandpa likes any gift you give him."
Having no other choice, Ling Shuangjiang led Xie Wang to a jade shop, intending to choose a jade item for a birthday celebration.
The jade shop was very large, and soon a dedicated saleswoman came over to help them choose.
Soon after, Ling Shuangjiang took a fancy to a jade carving titled "Pine and Crane for Longevity" and decided to buy it.
The sales assistant said apologetically, "This has already been reserved by a gentleman."
At this moment, another sales assistant came over with a man. "Mr. Lin, this is the 'Pine and Crane Longevity' you ordered."
Ling Shuang subconsciously looked to the side, and when she saw the man in front of her, a hint of surprise flashed in her calm eyes.
Lin Yili's attention was originally focused on the jade artifacts, and he only glanced at the object next door politely.
