“Of course.” Cheng Su nodded.
This was her and her child’s great benefactor. What reason did she have to not give her more benefits?
The assistant quickly nodded. “I’ll draft the contract when 1 get back and send it to Miss Guo Miao.”
Cheng Su nodded. “Help me check the backgrounds of the bodyguards and servants today. See if the Jin family sent someone.”
“Alright.” The assistant nodded.
The car drove off very quickly.
After this incident, everyone’s mood to have fun was ruined. The boys cleaned up the barbecue in the yard, and the girls took care of Guo Miao upstairs.
Guo Miao had changed into dry clothes, but her cheeks were burning and she was weak all over. She felt dizzy.
Although it was already summer, the open sea was still very cold. Guo Miao had struggled for too long and exhausted a lot of physical strength. In addition, she was exposed to the wind after she came ashore, so it was not strange that she fell ill.
Lu Ning noticed Guo Miao’s flushed cheeks and quickly took out a thermometer from the medical kit.
Guo Miao knew that she must have a fever, but she still let her take her measurements. Everyone gathered around her with concern.
39 degrees.
Guo Miao looked at the thermometer and sighed softly. She hadn’t been sick for a long time. It wasn’t easy for her to come out to have fun like this, but now she had to waste it on resting and recuperating. Thinking of this, Guo Miao felt a little sad.
“It’s all my fault. If I didn’t request the swimming competition, Goddess Miao wouldn’t have gotten sick,” Lin Nian said guiltily.
“Alright, don’t blame yourself. If it weren’t for our swimming competition, that child might have lost his life.” Because of the memories of her previous life, Guo Miao naturally knew what Qianqian and her son would have gone through if this unexpected match hadn’t happened.
“I’ll be fine after a good rest. Don’t worry,” Guo Miao looked at everyone and assured them.
Everyone nodded. Lu Ning drew the curtains and left the room with the others to let Guo Miao rest.
Guo Miao didn’t go to sleep immediately. Instead, she turned on her phone to deal with the work at the research institute and the holographic game.
A message mixed in with the work messages was particularly eye-catching. It was a message from Tong Pei.
She opened the chat box to see a photo. The photo should have been taken in the botanical garden, and it showed a eucalyptus plant. She felt like she could smell the faint fragrance of tropical plants through the photo.
Along with the picture was a message from Tong Pei.
[This botanical garden is very close to Hongcheng. Do you want to go together when you’re free?]
Guo Miao looked at the message in the picture and was about to reply when Tong Pei called.
She picked up the phone in a daze.
“Hello?” The man’s voice sounded very clear in the darkness.
“Yes.” Guo Miao’s voice was nasal, sounding more like a spoiled child than usual.
“Are you sick?” Tong Pei asked.
“Yes, I caught a cold when i went swimming. It’s not a big problem. 1 took some medicine,” Guo Miao said subconsciously as if she didn’t want him to worry about her.
“I won’t be able to visit you in Haicheng during this period of time,” the man said. “I gave Tong Yao a ticket. You and your classmates can go to the Botanic Gardens near Hongcheng.”
The warm blanket and dark environment gave Guo Miao a sense of security. She closed her eyes and hummed softly, feeling as if she was going to fall asleep the next second.
“How do you know that I like eucalyptus? Tell me, do you like it too?” Guo Miao asked.
Actually, she had been puzzled for a long time. From the first time she met Tong Pei, there was a faint scent of eucalyptus from him. The fragrance he gave her also smelled similar.
“I know you like it.” Tong Pei didn’t answer directly but ignored Guo Miao’s question instead.
The fever made Guo Miao’s mind a little unclear. She asked, “But before we met, you used this perfume.”
When she saved him at the hotel before they met in Beijing, and even in her previous life, when she first saw him, he carried the faint fragrance of tropical plants.
If he only used the perfume after knowing that she liked it, could he have already known her?
But that shouldn’t be the case. They should have only truly met in this life.
All sorts of questions were jumbled up in her mind. She couldn’t think of a conclusion, so she fell asleep in a daze..
