甜蜜的小狐狸

His eyes unintentionally glanced at the message on the screen. The sender’s name displayed as “Too Handsome for Anyone to Love.”

The message below said, “Boss, help me, my mom just called me and said that

Gil…”

Before he could read it carefully, several more messages came in, covering the previous one, and the phone kept buzzing. Lu Miao, who was on the bed, was disturbed by the noise, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly.

Then her eyes slowly opened, and the first thing she saw was Gu Shiyan’s handsome face, followed by him sitting in a strangely twisted position in front of the bed.

And in her hand, she was holding onto his arm, which was the culprit for his twisted posture.

Lu Miao, in her feverish state, felt a bit confused and didn’t react immediately.

She thought it was an illusion, so she closed her eyes again, but when she reopened them after a moment, Gu Shiyan’s face was still in front of her.

Seeing her rare childish behavior, Gu Shiyan sneered and raised his hand to ruffle her head.

In a low voice, he coaxed, “Little one, have you been uncomfortable after sleeping for so long? Are you hungry?”

Lu Miao’s hazy mind finally started working again. She stiffly let go of his arm, got up, and calmly said, “Thank you, I’m fine.”

Then, with a composed expression, she turned around and walked out of the room towards downstairs. She stood up too quickly, and the hem of her clothes flipped up, revealing a large bruise on her fair waist.

Gu Shiyan’s eyes darkened, and he reached out his long arm, directly encircling her waist from behind and pulling her back into his embrace.

His slightly cool fingertips lightly covered the bruise. “How did you get injured?”

Lu Miao’s skin, already hot due to the fever, couldn’t help but shiver at his cool touch. Realizing the overly intimate position they were in, her originally pale face couldn’t control the blush that started spreading.

As if being scalded, she quickly moved slightly to the side, avoiding Gu Shiyan’s hand. “It was just an accidental bump.”

Then she briskly walked downstairs. Watching the crimson hue from her earlobe to the base of her neck from behind, Gu Shiyan couldn’t help but chuckle softly.

Glancing at the phone she embarrassingly forgot to take with her, he stood up with a smile in his eyes and followed her downstairs. Auntie Xiu had already prepared a nutritious meal and kept it warm in the pot.

Seeing that she looked better, Auntie Xiu immediately went happily to the kitchen to bring out the food. Originally, it was prepared for her alone, but now that Mr Gu had arrived, Gu Shiyan approached and sat opposite her, pushing the phone toward her.

Intentionally, he said, “Yours.” This action was no different from reminding her of the embarrassing situation upstairs just now.

Lu Miao couldn’t help but grind her teeth. Mr Guts personality was becoming more and more wicked. Her face, however, remained calm. “Thank you.”

She reached out and took the phone, unlocking the screen. She saw a bunch of unread messages and a few missed calls. The urgent messages from Jingcheng were piling up. Gu Ziheng had called her but couldn’t get through, so he sent her a message before hurriedly returning.

Lin Bufan was crying for help, saying that the old lady of the Gu family and Shen Qinghe personally went to their house, asking about the news of Master Mountain River and insisting on seeing her. He couldn’t handle it anymore.

There was also a text message saying that one billion cash had been received as a thank-you gift from the Gu family.

Lu Miao didn’t hesitate and accepted it without hesitation, then calmly replied that even if he couldn’t handle it, he still gotta find a way himself.

Lin Bufan quickly responded with a crying emoji.

Lu Miao directly closed the conversation.

Seeing missed calls from both Lin Bufan and Gu Shiyan, Lu Miao looked up at the person across from her.

“Do you have something to discuss with me?”

Gu Shiyan pushed a small bowl of peeled shrimp meat in front of Lu Miao and said, “Come and have a meal with me.”

He had originally come to find her to have lunch together, but he didn’t expect to find her sick.

Lu Miao silently picked up a piece of shrimp meat and ate it slowly before speaking.

“Grandma already canceled the engagement last night, and you…”

Gu Shiyan interrupted her, “Let’s talk about everything after the three-month deadline.”

Lu Miao pursed her lips and remained silent.

Gu Jinxi, that unruly little devil, was even more stubborn. He didn’t care about his grandmother’s words about canceling the engagement. He had already made up his mind about Lu Miao.

Whether Lu Miao would become his sister-in-law in the future or not, he unconditionally stood behind her and supported her.

After school in the afternoon, Gu Jinxi came directly to the Lingyue Manor to protest against his grandmother’s actions and support Lu Miao.

He had always been rebellious, and Lu Miao truly treated him like a younger brother, so she allowed him to stay here.

Lu Miao’s fever had been on and off for three days, and it finally subsided on the fourth day.

However, due to the shared existence curse, her hands and feet were always cold, and no matter how she tried to warm them, they remained cold.

Even if she held a hot water bag, her hands would only warm up slightly while she held it.

Once she put it down, the temperature in her hands would quickly drop.

Her entire body seemed to have cooled down significantly, and even with the blazing sun outside, she could hardly feel the heat.

Her originally fair skin became so pale that it was almost translucent, and even the tiny blood vessels beneath her skin could be vaguely seen. Her physical weakness was visible to the naked eye.

Gu Shiyan bought piles of tonics for her.

Auntie Xiu was also heartbroken. She served bird’s nest and ginseng soup three times a day, wishing she could marinate Lu Miao directly in ginseng soup.

Looking at the storeroom filled with piles of tonics, Lu Miao was speechless. Pregnant women don’t even take this much supplementation!!!

During these three days, “Super Brain” finally aired, and Lu Siyu’s “Idol 99” also aired its second episode.

Not surprisingly, Lu Miao quickly gained popularity with her exquisite beauty and the identity of a super academic achiever.

Netizens affectionately gave her a nickname, “Miao Jie,” describing her beautiful and sharp eyes resembling those of a cat. (*Miao is similar to Meow in Chinese)

Seizing the opportunity, the program producers launched a nationwide QR code challenge directly targeting the audience. Successful challengers would receive round-trip plane tickets and tickets to the program’s live recording.

With the launch of this activity, the popularity of the show soared, and it quickly topped the trending charts.

Some fans took screenshots of Lu Miao without any makeup and compared her with the contestants from “Idol 99” next door, who had elaborate makeup.

There was no suspense as Lu Miao completely overshadowed them in terms of appearance and intelligence.

“The little from ‘Idol 99’ still dared to call herself academic beauty? This is what a true academic overachiever looks like!”

“Haha, with just two words, ‘beauty’ and ‘Miao Jie,’ she has already won.”

“I declare that from today onwards, Miao Jie is my idol!”

Gu Ziheng’s “Youth Trainees” had yet to start airing, and Lu Siyu’s participation in “Idol 99” was almost overshadowed by “Super Brain.”

Lu Miao single-handedly occupied the spotlight of both shows.

Lu Siyu looked at the trending topics, where every other tweet was about Lu Miao, and she was so furious that her lungs were about to explode.

She had put in so much effort and spent so much money on marketing to achieve these results, only for Lu Miao to ruin it all!

Gritting her teeth, she took out her phone and dialed a number..
