Female Master: Why doesn’t my wife love me yet?

Chapter 431 Something is on my mind

Gu Qingyuan was woken up from her sleep and felt a little dazed.

But then I thought that Chunfen usually wouldn't wake me up easily, so she must have something important to tell me.

She slowly got up, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and looked outside.

Chunfen said anxiously, "Xiaohan, who is by Ji Cefu's side, came over and said that Ji Cefu is not feeling well."

"what?"

When Gu Qingyuan heard Chunfen say that Ji Mingzhao was not feeling well, he immediately became much more sober. He quickly put on his clothes and shoes and walked outside.

As soon as she reached the door, she saw Xiaohan spinning around anxiously.

Xiao Han saw her as if he had seen a savior and said, "Young Master! Ji Cefu is not feeling well, you should go and see him. Also, I want to find a doctor for him, so I came to ask for your permission..."

"Okay, go ahead. I'll go check on him first."

After getting Gu Qingyuan's approval, Xiaohan immediately walked out again.

Gu Qingyuan walked against the cold wind to the outside of Ji Mingzhao's room and heard bursts of low coughing.

She was a little annoyed. It was getting cold recently, so she should have asked him to put on more clothes before going out.

When she entered the room, Ji Mingzhao inside said nervously, "Wife, don't come over!"

He himself had caught a cold and didn't want to infect her.

Gu Qingyuan stood at the door and asked in confusion: "Why?"

Ji Mingzhao first covered his lips and continued to cough twice, then said in a hoarse voice: "I...I don't want to infect my wife."

Upon hearing that it was because of this, Gu Qingyuan stepped forward without any hesitation.

Seeing that she was still coming over, Ji Mingzhao helplessly covered his mouth and nose with his clothes.

At this moment, his throat felt like it was being scratched by countless feathers, and because he had been coughing constantly, tears were unconsciously flowing from the corners of his eyes.

Gu Qingyuan thought about it and came to the table to pour him some water to moisten his throat.

But the water in the teapot had already gone cold, so she asked someone to boil a new pot.

Coming to the bed again, she placed her hand on Ji Mingzhao's back and helped him breathe. "It's okay, you can cough if you want. I'm strong and healthy. How could I be infected by such a minor illness?"

At this time, Ji Mingzhao was only wearing a white shirt, and his face looked even paler.

"I... cough cough... I'm fine. I'm sorry to have troubled my wife... cough cough."

He spoke these short sentences with great difficulty.

Soon, the hot water was ready. After the servant brought the teapot filled with hot water again, Gu Qingyuan poured him a cup of hot water. When it was not so hot anymore, he brought it to Ji Mingzhao to drink.

Gu Qingyuan supported his body and let him lean against her. She looked down at him and said, "Open your mouth and drink some hot water to moisten your throat."

He opened his mouth obediently and let Gu Qingyuan pour the clear tea into his mouth.

"How's it going? Are you feeling better?"

He nodded, feeling the itch in his throat ease a little, but his voice was still a little hoarse when he spoke.

"Much better, thank you, my wife."

Gu Qingyuan placed her hand on his neck and scratched him like a kitten's chin.

"What's this, my wife?"

Puzzlement flashed in his eyes.

Gu Qingyuan said confidently: "I'll give you a massage!"

Ji Mingzhao chuckled and grabbed her hand.

"I'm... cough, much better."

He still couldn't help coughing again.

Gu Qingyuan comforted him, "Wait a little longer. Xiaohan has already gone to get a doctor, and he will be here soon."

Ji Mingzhao was helpless, "Xiaohan... I clearly said I was fine and I would be fine after a good night's sleep."

"You said you were fine, but I heard you coughing just now. It's strange that you can fall asleep if you keep going like this!"

Hearing her tone, which was full of concern even though she was scolding him, Ji Mingzhao felt warm in his heart.

Just then, he felt something touching his forehead.

When I looked up, I found that she was using her forehead to test the temperature of hers.

The two people were so close that Ji Mingzhao's heart beat faster and faster uncontrollably.

But suddenly, Gu Qingyuan let him go.

"Okay, okay, no fever."

She even stretched out her hand to test the temperature of his forehead. When she pulled her hand back, she found that Ji Mingzhao had been looking at her.

"Is there something on my face?"

He quickly shook his head.

Gu Qingyuan grumbled, "I should have asked you to put on more clothes before going out during the day, but it's possible that you caught a cold after sitting in the carriage all day and being exposed to the wind."

She took Ji Mingzhao's hand and suddenly found a hint of sadness between his eyebrows.

She was so focused on worrying about him that she didn't notice that something was wrong with his mood.

Although he was smiling when he talked to her, she could feel that he was worried.

"A Zhao."

"Wife, I'm here."

"Are you worried about something?" Gu Qingyuan asked him.

Ji Mingzhao was shocked. "Why would my wife ask that? I don't have any worries."

Gu Qingyuan shook her head and said affirmatively: "I can feel that you seem a little unhappy tonight. Can you tell me what's wrong?"

Ji Mingzhao's lips moved, but he finally lowered his head and said nothing to her.

Was he going to ask his wife if she minded that he had given birth to a son?

No, he couldn't do that.

Seeing that he lowered his head and refused to speak, Gu Qingyuan knew that he must have something on his mind and was not going to tell her.

He is different from Wen Shubai. When Wen Shubai makes a fuss, she can just comfort him.

But Ji Mingzhao has always been a sensible and considerate person. Anything that can make him unhappy is definitely not a small matter.

She took Ji Mingzhao's hand and said seriously, "If you are unhappy, tell me. I am your wife. Are you going to keep it in your heart forever?"

This is how many mental illnesses are caused.

"I'm really not unhappy, it's just that I'm feeling a little unwell today. My wife should go back and rest early."

He turned around and didn't dare to look at her again.

Gu Qingyuan firmly pressed his shoulders and said, "Hurry up and tell me."

Ji Mingzhao was forced to turn around, but he didn't know when tears were already streaming down his face.

"Was my tone harsh?"

Gu Qingyuan let go of him and took a step back.

Why did she start crying while talking? She didn't bully him, she just wanted to understand why he was unhappy.

She felt that it was not just because he was sick, but he also had something on his mind today.

Ji Mingzhao kept crying silently without saying a word.

Gu Qingyuan walked closer to him again and raised her sleeve to let him wipe his tears.

"Okay, okay, I didn't mean to be mean to you just now. I just wanted to know why you were unhappy. If you don't want to tell me, forget it. I won't force you. Stop crying, okay?"

In the end, she was the first to bow her head and apologize.

Ji Mingzhao was stunned when he heard her words of submission.

She is a woman! She actually bowed her head and apologized to me.

Ji Mingzhao hesitated for a moment and asked her cautiously, "Wife, do you love me?"
