Chapter 366 - High Fever
Later, because of this incident that happened at this banquet, the story of how President Lu Xun of NEXT Group doted on his wife had spread among their circle.
Song Xing Xing would later find that many people were wanting to get close and curry favor with her. This time it was not only because she was a member of a Song family. This time, those who wanted to have business cooperation with Lu Xun too would look for her first.
Of course, there were a few people who were not too happy to hear the news that President Lu Xun and his wife had a very good relationship.
Some people were envious of them and some people still think that the two of them were merely acting in public. Some people thought that the couple did not belong to each other and wanted to ruin what they have.
However, that was for later.
After spending a few days in Capital City, both Lu Jiang and Zhen Wen Yu finally boarded the plane and headed back to C Country.
Before they left, Zhen Wen Yu had promised to come again and visit them before the wedding in November.
Zhen Wen Yu had to accompany her husband and was feeling guilty that she had to let Song Xing Xing's family handle the wedding preparation.
In the end, Lu Xun assured his mother that he will take part in this wedding preparation and not let his mother-in-law do everything.
Lu Jiang and his wife left with relief.
However, on the next day that his parents had left, Lu Xun soon found out that there was something wrong with his wife.
He woke up in the morning, went to the gym to work out, and then returned to the bedroom to take a shower. Lu Xun walked over to his wife, wanting to wake her up and get ready to head to the studio.
He leaned forward to peck at her cheek but realized that her face was a little warmer than usual.
A trace of panic appeared on his face. Lu Xun stretched his arm and placed his and on her forehead. Her burning skin made him pull his hand away quickly.
It was too hot.
"Xing Xing?" Lu Xun tried to wake her up. He turned her body to face him and saw her reddened face. Beads of perspiration formed on her face and there was a deep crease between her brow.
Song Xing Xing moaned as he called her name a few times.
In her conscience, Song Xing Xing was aware that someone was calling her name. However, no matter how she tried to wake up and how she wanted to respond, there was nothing that she could do.
Lu Xun saw that she was delirious and began to worry again. He wore his clothes quickly and took her coat from the wardrobe. After wrapping her body with the coat, Lu Xun carried her in his arms and walked down the stairs.
Auntie Wei was preparing the table when she saw the man run over to the door. "President Lu, are you not going to have your breakfast before you leave?"
"There's no time for that." Lu Xun struggled to open the door. Without explaining anything, he rushed out and went to his car. After placing her on the passenger's seat, Lu Xun drove over to the nearest hospital.
...
Song Xing Xing woke up and realized that her surroundings were a little strange. The white ceiling and the light made her eyes squint. After analyzing everything around her for a while, Song Xing Xing realized that she was in the hospital.
But, why was she here?
Song Xing Xing tried to think but her head felt a little heavy.
She tried to move her hand and realized that there was a tube attached to her arms.
Her mouth opened as she wanted to speak but her throat was too dry. In the end, she could only let out a soft whimper.
A few seconds later, Song Xing Xing heard the sound of footsteps. She turned in the direction and found that Lu Xun was looking at her with worry.
"You're awake." Lu Xun placed his hand on her forehead to feel her temperature. His expression eased up a little bit upon finding that it was not as hot as in the morning. He moved to press the button at her bedside and looked at her again. "How are you feeling?"
Song Xing Xing moaned. She lifted her hand to touch him but felt as if her body was too weak to move.
"Don't move." Lu Xun held her hand. "You're still a little unwell. Relax. I'll be here with you."
Song Xing Xing shifted her gaze towards the jug of water on the bedside table.
"You want something to drink?" Lu Xun asked as he followed her line of gaze.
Seeing her weak nod, Lu Xun stood up to pour her a glass of water. Then, he supported her in his arm and let her drink slowly. "Are you hungry? I'll let Auntie Wei bring over some porridge for you later."
The doctor entered the room with an anxious look on his face. However, seeing that the person in the bed had regained her consciousness, the doctor began to feel at ease. He walked to Song Xing Xing's side and began inspecting the patient. But with the patient's husband eying him closely, the doctor found that he could not do his work well.
After examining her, the doctor took a few steps back and heaved in relief. "Mrs. Lu, your fever has gone down a lot. After finishing this IV drip, you can go home and rest."
Lu Xun tensed when he heard the doctor's words. "Will it be fine?" As he thought about her high temperature when he brought her into the hospital, Lu Xun started to worry again. If he brought her to the hospital a little later, Song Xing Xing's condition would be in danger.
The doctor began to hesitate as he faced Lu Xun's piercing gaze. "Well, it should be fine." He let out a cough and continued. "Mrs. Lu, you had a high fever because you are too tired. As long as you have enough rest, you will be fine."
A deep frown formed on his face.
Lu Xun recalled that Song Xing Xing has been busy after the day the two of them obtained their marriage certificate. They were running around to avoid the reporters. Then, his parents dropped over and she had accompanied his mother to shop. Then, the two of them attended the mayor's wife's birthday banquet.
In short, his wife did not have enough rest. After his parents had flown back to C Country, her body reacted and demanded her to rest.
Thinking of the reason his wife had a high fever, Lu Xun suddenly felt guilty.
