The next morning, Over the white bedsheets, Xiao li's heavy hair was scattered unevenly and messily. Her slim petite body, just under the protection of a thin quilt looked so provocative.
At this time, her long eyelashes lifted slowly to reveal those, beautiful. bright eyes that could stun any soul into awe.
By this time, those striking eyes only managed to open into half closed crescent shape. They looked somewhat hazed.
"Awake?" Out of a sudden, a strong voice resounded in the room. The coldness in his voice jolted her awake. Her chest experienced a strange feeling. Memories from the last night surfaced making her freeze.
Still on the bed, her eyes met his sharp ones.
She was stunned.
Her eyes looked around the room as if she was trying to make sure she was in the right place. She pinched herself very hard, earning a loud gasp from her.
"You are wondering why you are still alive?" as if the man read her mind, he guessed right.
Xiao li was stunned.
She looked at him, his lips breaking into a slow, sexy smirk, yet his eyes were cold. Under those cold eyes, he hid a warm and cool gaze.
Yet at the same time, Xiao li fragility and daintiness, and innocence of that small flushed face urged a sensation of gentleness towards her in Jingyi Wang's eyes. It made him want to treat her with such care and thoughtfulness as if one is handling a flower vase.
Xiao li could not understand how, she made sure the door was locked, but it looked like this man was not ready to let her go.
Just a mere look from him made her shudder. She abruptly broke eye contact with him.
"Just because you want to die doesn't mean I will let you die" His voice was cold and it echoed in the silent room.
He continued and slowly walked towards her. "Xiao li, you tried to kill yourself because of what?"
He smirked.
"Smart are you?"
The two first buttons of his shirt was still unbuttoned. Everything underneath was visible. He lean over and pinched her delicate chin with his slender fingers, forcing her to look straight into his eyes. "You want to die, right? But I won't allow you to die. As long as you live in my house, under my roof, then you are not allowed to die" His voice was low.
Subconsciously, Xiao li tightly grabbed the silk sheets. Her hands were clenched into fists
"If you don't let me go, I will die and there is nothing you can do" At that moment, she mustered up her courage and spoke up.
Jingyi Wang's lips curled into a cold smirk.
Did she think her little threats would affect him or make him panick?
He was not scared of her.
"Oh, I am so scared. Don't die. Please, don't die" Jingyi Wang put on an act and pretended to be scared.
Xiao li was stunned.
Jingyi Wang sneered.
Being pierced by his sharp, cold beautiful eyes, Xiao li's heart thumped loudly.
At that moment, all she wanted was for him to leave her alone. If he didn't leave her, she feared that she might end up doing something to provoke him again.
"You should rest, the doctor said your body still need some rest, then you will be okay" He reassured her, his voice was soft.
After he said this, he turned to leave the room. He suddenly remembered something and stopped walking. "When you are okay, I will punish you for trying to kill yourself" He said this and walked out.
Quickly, Xiao li sat down in bed.
At that moment, she felt her throat was scorching dry and she felt her body burning up as she tried her hardest not to think of the pain.
Xiao li had a fever.
Giving up, she got up from the bed and stumbled tiredly to the desk in the room, her whole body. Her whole body was aching in pain. She needed water to soothe her parched and aching throat.
She picked up a glass cup and poured water into the cup. Just as she brought the cup to her lips, she felt dizzy. Her hand which was holding the cup was trembling. She placed her hand on the table to support her swaying body.
But suddenly, the cup fell from her hand, causing a loud smash, then followed her petite figure which fell onto the ground with a thud.
Then, she lost consciousness immediately.
Just then, the door opened and Jingyi Wang rushed into the room. He ran towards the figure on the floor and carried her in his arms. He carried her towards the bed and gently placed her onto the bed, and then he called for the doctor. He was so worried that his face turned pale.
The doctor came in immediately and checked Xiao li's body. He broke into a cold sweat. "Young master, young miss body is so weak"
Jingyi Wang heard this and his face darkened. "What did you tell me? You said she would be better after taking enough rest, so why is her body so weak?"
The doctor was shocked.
He gulped twice. "I-"
"I think you are becoming more and more annoying. I think it's high time I got a new doctor" Jingyi Wang said fiercely.
The poor doctor heard this and his face fell.

Xiao li woke up late at night in a daze. She rubbed her drowsy eyes and sat up in bed. She looked up and saw a maid standing at the door.
She lowered her eyes and gasped. She saw that she was putting on a revealing night gown. She was surprised as her eyes grew wide.
She looked at the maid and asked, "Who changed my dress?"
The maid looked embarrassed and said, "Young master helped you take a shower and change your dress into this"
Xiao li heard this and was shocked, "What?" She could not believe it.
