Becoming a Wealthy Family's Beloved After Her Rebirth

Zhu Yingyue, who treated Lin Xiaowan as a little sister, said worriedly, ’’Button up your coat, it’s so windy here. You were sweating in the car earlier. If you don’t keep warm now, you’ll catch a cold.¹¹

“I know, 1 know.”

The heater in the car was turned on high so Lin Xiaowan did not feel that cold after alighting from the car.

At 7 PM, Huo Zheng called Lin Xiaowan. At this time, Lin Xiaowan had already eaten quite a bit. She had already eaten three meat pies that she had been craving and fried chicken.

Since Lin Xiaowan was not at home, lluo Zheng did not go home and decided to work overtime.

“Have you eaten?¹¹

Since it was a video call, Lin Xiaowan hurriedly handed the ice cream cone in her hand over to Zhu Yingyue before answering the call. She also gestured to Zhu Yingyue, asking the latter to hide it from lluo Zheng before she briefly pointed the camera at Zhu Yingyue.

“I’m preparing to ear. I’m going to have curry.”

Lin Xiaowan did not mention the fried chicken drumsticks and wings or fries that she had eaten.

Despite all her efforts, Huo Zheng still caught sight of the ice cream in Zhu Yingyue’s hand. He asked with a frown, “Are you having ice cream? It’s still so cold out…”

Lin Xiaowan naturally did not dare to admit to that. She said guiltily, choosing to be half truthful, “I, I’m sharing it with Sister Yingyue… 1 didn’t eat much.” Then, she gestured with her hand, showing how little she had eaten.

Huo Zheng nodded. It was impossible to tell if he believed her or not. He continued to ask, “What else did you eat? Don’t eat anything too spicy or oily. If you really want to eat them, ask the chef at home to make them for you, okay?”

Lin Xiaowan, who had already eaten most of these things, nodded. “Okay.” When she finally ended the call, the ice cream was about to melt. She quickly took the ice cream and ate it, completely disregarding Huo Zheng’s words. Zhu Yingyue said, slightly worried, “You promised President lluo earlier…” Lin Xiaowan said with a pout, “You don’t know this, but I rarely eat these things. It’s fine just this once…”

Inwardly, she promised herself that she would admit her mistakes to Huo Zheng with tears in her eyes when she got home.

“As long as you know your limits. 1 can’t stop you,” Zhu Yingyue said helplessly. Alas, Lin Xiaowan was someone who did not know her limits.

Lin Xiaowan returned home satisfied. As soon as she entered the house, Huo Zheng hugged her. When he touched her round belly, he said helplessly, “Why did you ear so much? Did you forget what the doctor said previously?” However, knowing that he would not get an explanation about this matter, he changed the topic and asked, “Did you enjoy yourself tonight?”

Lin Xiaowan leaned against him as though she had no bones. She looked pleased as she said, “I did! 1 want to eat fried chicken wings and fries tomorrow! How can French fries be so delicious? How can there be such delicious things in the world?”

lluo Zheng knew that she had already eaten those things earlier. Hence, he said immediately, “No.”

Since Lin Xiaowan had eaten many things that she could not usually eat today, she did not make a fuss when Huo Zheng rejected her. She nodded and said, “Okay.”

In the middle of the night.

Huo Zheng felt something was wrong when he was woken up by Lin Xiaowan burrowing into his arms. She was moaning and holding her stomach. Her face was flushed, and a layer of sweat could be seen on her forehead and temples. “Stomachache?”

He hugged her and rubbed her stomach gently as he kissed her forehead. However, he was shocked as soon as his lips touched her forehead. She was burning. lie asked worriedly, “Do you feel unwell anywhere else?”

Lin Xiaowan suspected that her stomach hurt because she had eaten too much oily stuff with additives after not eating them for a long time. She was in so much pain that she could only sniff and say, “No.”

lluo Zheng wanted to get a thermometer to measure Lin Xiaowan’s temperature, but as soon as he got up, Lin Xiaowan tightened her hold on him. He patted her back gently as he whispered, “Be good, okay? You have a fever. If the temperature is too high, we ll have to go to the hospital.”

Lin Xiaowan was especially clingy when she was sick. She hugged lluo Zheng and refused to let go.

Seeing the tears in her eyes, Huo Zheng was helpless. In the end, he wrapped her up in the blanket and carried her after he called Aunt Wu.

lluo Zheng carried her downstairs and placed her on the couch.

Aunt Wu, who was staying on the first floor, rushed over with the medical box. She asked, “Why did she suddenly catch a fever? It must be the weather. The weather has been hot and cold recently…”

Lin Xiaowan’s temperature was 38.5 degrees Celcius. Huo Zheng wanted to bring her to the hospital, but she was unwilling. After all, her stomach was not as painful as before, and she did not feel any other discomfort. She yawned and whispered, “I don’t want to go to the hospital. 1 want to go back to bed.”

The medical box was very well-equipped. Huo Zheng carefully looked at several types of medicine and read the instructions before he found the medicine for fever and stomachache for her. Then, he told Aunt Wu to go to bed first before bringing Lin Xiaowan back to the bedroom.

“Drink some water before you go to sleep, okay?” Huo Zheng said.

Lin Xiaowan nodded weakly.

Huo Zheng held the glass to her mouth and fed her. After the glass was empty, he leaned over and kissed her before he said, praising her, “Qingqing is so obedient.”

Lin Xiaowan said, embarrassed, “Don’t praise me at a time like this. It’s just drinking water. Why do you act like I did something amazing…”

Lin Xiaowan had been yawning non-stop when she was downstairs. However, after drinking water and chatting, she was no longer as sleepy as before. Moreover, her stomachache came in waves. Although it was not particularly painful now, it was hard to ignore.

Huo Zheng was not sleepy as well, lie placed his hand on her stomach and slowly massaged it for her. At the same time, he asked, “What did you eat earlier, huh? Tell me who ate ice cream earlier when 1 called you?”

Lin Xiaowan hesitated for a moment before she said, “Alright, 1 admit it. I ate the ice cream.”

Huo Zheng knew her very well. Usually, she would only listen to him occasionally when he was around. However, when she was alone, how could she control herself? He continued to ask, “What else did you eat?”

“Uh… That’s it?”

Huo Zheng was both angry and amused.. “That’s it?”
