Ms. Bigshot Is Pampered by All

Chapter 68: Chapter 68 It’s Not to See You Being Polite with Me

The nurse was a bit confused.

Chi Gui took the needle from her hand, skillfully inserted it into the back of the hand’s vein, and then affixed the adhesive tape used for securing it.

The whole process was clean and neat, not exceeding three seconds.

Fu Si watched Chi Gui’s movements, his dark phoenix eyes lightly squinting, a hint of depth in his gaze.

“I’m going to sleep,” Chi Gui slowly closed her eyes.

“Sleep,” Fu Si moved a chair over, sat in front of her sickbed, and with a caring hand, adjusted the pillow to make her more comfortable.

As the medication took effect, Chi Gui truly felt tired and, within moments, she fell into a deep sleep.

It wasn’t until then that Qin Cheng cautiously pushed the door open.

“Mr. Fu, the car that was following us on the road seems to usually be the one that picks up Miss Chi…” He kept his voice very low to avoid disturbing Chi Gui, “There’s someone called Xin Gu in the car, the leader of those people… and also a classmate of Miss Chi.”

Pausing, he then spoke in a heavy tone, “When I’ve been with you to the Shen Family before, I think I’ve seen him around Old Sir Shen.”

His tone carried a note of disbelief.

“Xin Gu?” Fu Si raised his eyebrows slightly.

He had an impression of that Xin Gu…

Fu Sixiu’s slender forefinger gently tapped the edge of the bed, paused in thought, then spoke softly, “Go back to Capital City for me, check into Professor Chi’s background.”

“Professor Chi?” Qin Cheng was a bit puzzled, “You don’t suspect…”

“Chi, with her treatment, doesn’t seem like someone with an ordinary background…” Fu Si’s phoenix eyes slightly drooped, observing the quietly sleeping Chi Gui on the bed.

Her beautiful eyes were closed, as serene as usual, but less cold, appearing more peaceful and endearing.

After a long moment, he chuckled quietly, “If she really is Professor Chi, I’ll have to worry about how to retract my previous statements.”

Qin Cheng: …

Mr. Fu always acted without restraint, and his remark that “Professor Chi is such a dull and uninteresting woman, only a machine could tolerate her for life” had spread to every corner of Capital City.

Professor Chi herself must have heard it.

If Miss Chi really was Professor Chi…

Thinking about how the BOSS had been flaunting himself like a resplendent peacock in front of her with his words and deeds recently, Qin Cheng felt a secondhand embarrassment for the BOSS.

–

Outside the door, Xin Gu and a few others were spread out, keeping watch in the corners.

With Fu Si personally taking care of things inside the hospital room, Xin Gu still felt reassured.

Fu Si’s people were investigating them, and Xin Gu knew it too.

But since Miss Chi herself hadn’t made any special effort to hide her identity from Fu Si, they didn’t need to do anything.

–

Chi Gui slept straight through to the evening.

The IV bottle was empty, the needle had been removed, and under her wrist was carefully placed a hot water bottle, from which she could still feel the warm heat.

“Awake?” Fu Si’s voice was a bit low and soft as it came from the side.

Chi Gui turned her gaze to see Fu Si sitting in a chair in front of the sickbed, his long legs casually crossed, holding a book in his hands, with the phoenix eyes behind gold-rimmed glasses reflecting the light from the window, adding a touch of tenderness to their clarity.

Chi Gui gave a faint hum in response, and turned to glance out the window, “Have I been asleep all day? Have you been with me the whole time? Thank you, that must have been tiring for you.”

Fu Si chuckled softly, his slender two fingers gently flicking her forehead, “Chi, I’m not being this nice to you just to hear you be courteous to me.”

Chi Gui: …

Fu Si didn’t expect Chi Gui to continue the conversation, placed the book casually on the side table, and stood up, “Want some water? I’ll go pour you a hot cup.”

“Mm,” Chi Gui nodded.

Before she could even utter the words “thank you,” Fu Si had already left the room.

The fever had subsided, and her body felt much lighter.

She didn’t continue to lie in bed; just as she sat up, her phone rang.

Chi Gui glanced at the caller ID; it was a call from Hai Dou.
