He quickly placed his hand on Munni’s forehead, the burning temperature on her forehead making him furrow his brow.
"Secretary Tang, how long until we’re back in G City?"
"An hour and a half."
"And the nearest small town from here?"
"There’s a small town about ten minutes away."
"Let’s go to a hospital in the town first."
Xu Yisen’s tone was very serious, and Tang Haoliang guessed that Munni must have quite a fever, so he stepped on the gas a little harder, and the car sped down the road.
"Hand me a bottle of water."
Xu Yisen took the water that Tang Haoliang handed over and pulled out the pocket square he used for decoration from the breast pocket of his suit jacket.
He folded the pocket square, dabbed some water on it, and then placed the cool pocket square on Munni’s forehead.
The sudden coolness on her forehead made Munni blink slightly. She opened her eyes a crack and glanced at Xu Yisen sitting beside her, who looked anxious.
For some reason, she suddenly felt like teasing him: "Don’t worry, I’m not going to die."
"... Going out and not taking good care of yourself."
His helpless reprimand made Munni smile a little. She closed her eyes and softly replied, "Looks like it’s time to find a boy toy to take care of me."
Xu Yisen looked helplessly at Munni, who clearly was too weak from illness but still insisted on retorting, and replied in a feigned angry tone: "Just rest and stop talking."
Munni slightly curled her lips and obediently stopped speaking.
After driving for more than ten minutes, they arrived at a nearby small town. As they were unfamiliar with the area, they drove around for quite a while without seeing a hospital. In the end, they found a clinic with the help of an aunt by the roadside.
The doctor in the clinic was an old gentleman, and after checking Munni’s temperature, he couldn’t help but scold Xu Yisen: "You guy, your wife has such a high fever, and you just brought her here now. If it keeps burning, who knows, she might become silly."
Xu Yisen seemed particularly pleased with the "wife" word from the old gentleman, not feeling at all like he was being scolded. He replied politely with a smile, "It’s my fault. Please give my wife some medicine."
"Tsk, tsk, look at how swollen this throat is."
"Getting sick during the New Year is the worst. Seeing a table full of good food, but no appetite to swallow."
The old gentleman muttered while prescribing some medicine for Munni, and after finishing, he handed the medicine to Xu Yisen, then instructed, "Give her a light breakfast soon. There’s a congee shop up ahead that’s quite good, and the girl working there is quite lovely."
"After eating the congee, remember to give her the medicine, the dosage is for four days. Also, make sure she gets plenty of rest. If she frolics in this weather again, she might be sick for a few more days."
"Okay, got it, thank you."
Thinking Munni was ill, they figured it would be better to stay in the town for a day or two to let her properly rest.
Familiar with nothing in the area, after receiving the medicine, Xu Yisen politely asked, "Doctor, could you tell us where the hotel is in this town?"
His question made the old doctor momentarily startled, then he clicked his tongue and disheartedly scolded: "Your wife isn’t well yet, and you’re already thinking about getting a room with her. That’s not very considerate."
Of course, the purpose was to get a room for Munni to rest, but why did the old doctor seem to misunderstand the situation with a somewhat suggestive tone?
