The doctor checked her body, prescribed her medicine, and told her to go home and keep warm. Only then did they leave.
After taking a taxi back to Yuxiu Garden, Ning Meng quickly changed her clothes. When she came out, she saw hot steam coming out of the kitchen.
Huo Beichen was wearing her special floral apron and was boiling a pot of brown sugar ginger water. The smell of ginger wafted out even before it entered the kitchen.
Ning Meng covered her nose and leaned against the door, shouting, "Brother, don't cook it. I don't eat ginger."
The man held the spoon and ignored her. The steam from the pot rose around him, making his handsome face look more ethereal.
The word "brother" made Huo Beichen's body stiffen.
He smiled and took a bowl from the side, scooped up the ginger brown sugar water, filtered it, and made sure that there was no ginger left in the bowl. Then, he took it out.
As they walked out of the door, he held Ning Meng's other hand and brought her to the sofa. He took a blanket and covered her legs with it. After a while, when the brown sugar water was not as hot as before, he passed it to her and ordered, "Drink this."
"…"
She furrowed her brows.
She was usually a tomboy, but today, she wanted to be a bit more "pretentious", so she said, "I don't want to drink it."
The man held the bowl and said in a low voice, "Call me brother again."
"…"
She had already called him brother a few times, so it did not matter. She called him brother again.
The man was satisfied and rubbed her head. "Good girl. Call me that from now on."
"… Then, can I not drink anymore?"
The man laughed. "No."
"…??"
Then why did you want me to call you brother?!
Just when Ning Meng was about to explode, the man suddenly leaned forward and threatened, "Are you going to drink it yourself? Or do you want me to feed you one mouthful at a time? "
"…"
Ning Meng's face heated up. Ning Meng did not say anything and drank the whole bowl in one go. When she put the bowl down, she could vaguely see the look of pity on the man's face.
"So, Mr. Huo took care of you for three days?"
Three days later, Ning Meng was alive and kicking. She had finally escaped from Huo Beichen's clutches and had a new lease on life. After he left for work, she finally had the chance to call Zhen Shanmei.
Ning Meng nodded. "That's right. It's one thing that he did not pursue the matter of my dad covering up for me, but how could he be so considerate towards me?"
Zhen Shanmei shouted, "Stop! I seriously suspect that you're flaunting your affection. "
Ning Meng smiled and packed her luggage. "Don't worry, I hope that you can scold me three times a day from now on."
"Which three sentences?"
Ning Meng said, "The first sentence is, why are you as thin as a ghost? The second sentence was, "Didn't you just marry a good husband? What are you showing off for!" As for the third sentence, what's so great about being filthy rich? "
"… How shameless."
"Thank you for the compliment."
Zhen Shanmei asked again, "Are you really going to Shanghai with Little Movie Queen? I want to go too ~ but my dad won't give me money! "
After he said this, he heard Papa Zhen roar, "You only know how to spend money all day. Do you know how difficult it is to earn money now?"
Zhen Shanmei muttered softly, "How could I not know? Every time I ask you for money, I have to listen to your scolding. "
Ning Meng was speechless.
"If you want to go, I'll pay for it!"
