“Nonsense…” Yan Susu refuted him without realizing it.

 Lu Zhanxiu deliberately misunderstood her response, asking, “Are you trying to seduce me?”

 “Of course not!” Yan Susu said. Raising her head, she came into contact with a pair of slightly cool lips.

 All she felt was nothingness, and then she passed out.

 Shocked, Lu Zhanxiu yelled, “Housekeeper!”

 It was a shout that shook the entire villa. Auntie Tang rushed in. “Sir, the housekeeper has taken Young Master to school and is not back yet.”

 “Tell Fu Zhengshi to get his a%$ in here now!” Staring intently at Yan Susu’s ashen face, Lu Zhanxiu became extremely irritable.

 “His a%$ is right here!” Awakened by the shouting, Fu Zhengshi had appeared, yawning. Internally, he sighed and lamented his unfortunate fate.

 Having worked hard till the early morning, he had barely fallen asleep before being awakened again.

 “Check her condition!”

 Fu Zhengshi shot his mate a glance. “Your woman?”

 “Check her condition!” Lu Zhanxiu ordered quietly, his patience running thin.

 Fu Zhengshi resigned himself to obeying the order and stepped forward to check on Yan Susu. After a short while, with an odd look on his face, he turned and looked at Lu Zhanxiu, “Nothing wrong with her, just poor health. She passed out due to extreme shock.”

 Lu Zhanxiu was speechless.

 Extreme shock? All he had done was kiss her, just once…

 “I say, Young Mr. Lu. I know what you did, terrorizing her to the point that she passed out!” Fu Zhengshi teased lazily, looking like his usual laid-back self.

 Lu Zhanxiu shot him an icy look. “Poor health?”

 He seemed to be recalling their first encounter, the day that this little woman had suffered from high fever and had passed out.

 “She must have gone through a major change or incident and not received very good aftercare. Poor health, high fever, and extreme shock can easily result in fainting spells. To minimize the risk of her ending up in precarious situations due to this condition, try not to agitate her, and do something to improve her health.”

 “OK.” Frowning slightly, Lu Zhanxiu looked at the ashen-faced woman sleeping peacefully on the bed.

 Yesterday, at the entrance to the hotel, she had seemed like an Amazon warrior, fighting her stepsister and fiancé with vigor…

 “But then, I am very curious as to what our Young Mr. Lu has done to this young woman?” Fu Zhengshi looked teasingly at his friend, his gossip sensors in full gear and raring to go.

 Lu Zhanxiu transferred his gaze from Yan Susu to him, saying flatly, “You can get lost now.”

 “How very heartless. Use and discard,” Fu Zhengshi sighed softly, and he stopped asking questions.

 He knew that if Lu Zhanxiu did not want to talk, he would not say anything even if a knife was held to his neck.

 “Auntie Tang, prepare health-enhancing medicine and nutritional soups; make sure that you watch Madam taking them during her meals, three times a day.”

 If nothing was done to improve her health, would she have these fainting spells frequently?

 That was just too dangerous.

 “Yes, sir.”

 Picking up his suit, Lu Zhanxiu prepared to leave the room. At the door, he turned around and said, “I will be home for dinner tonight.”

 Auntie Tang was surprised but quickly recovered and nodded happily. “Yes, sir; I will cook the favorite foods of Sir, Madam, and Young Master.”

 Except for weekends, Sir had never been home for dinner before. It would appear that Sir was really fond of Madam.
