However, Xu Jiaojiao did not move. She remained in the same position, lying on the bed.

Qi Shenbai walked up to her with the porridge, but she kept her mouth shut and eyes closed. It was obvious that she was rejecting him.

Qi Shenbai placed the porridge on the bedside table and stroked her long hair.

“Be good and eat something, or your body will collapse. Also, this matter has only been spread in school, but it doesn’t mean that it won’t spread outside. If Grandma finds out, won’t she drag herself here to see you even if she’s sick?”

Qi Shenbai appealed to her with emotion.

Xu Jiaojiao slowly opened her eyes, asking for help with her expressive gaze. “Don’t worry, I’ll keep this matter from Grandma. But you have to eat.” As he spoke, he helped Xu Jiaojiao up and took the porridge from the bedside table, feeding her mouthful by mouthful.

“Did you know? Xu Zhengyang didn’t sleep the entire night after he found out about you. I asked him to go back, but he refused. Also, Yunduo and Su Luo were very worried about you. They didn’t sleep the entire night.”

Qi Shenbai hoped to encourage her so that she could pull herself together as soon as possible.

Xu Jiaojiao just nodded and ate the porridge. The warm porridge went into her stomach, but it did not feel as good as she had imagined. Instead, her insides were a mess. In an instant, Xu Jiaojiao threw everything up, filling the trash can with the food she had just eaten.

Even after she cleared her stomach, she still felt terrible. In the end, she only stopped when she had puked out her stomach juices.

“Rinse your mouth.” Qi Shenbai patted her back gently and brought her another glass of water.

Xu Jiaojiao took a sip and spat it out. Then, she placed her hands on Qi Shenbai’s neck and curled her head into his embrace.

She was depending on him. He could feel it.

He patted her back gently and comforted her. “It’s okay, it’s okay. If you can’t eat anymore, don’t eat anymore.”

Qi Shenbai did not want to force her. If she did not want to talk, then let her stay quiet. If she could not eat, let her not eat. At most, he would get the doctor to give her a nutrient solution.

Xu Jiaojiao nodded.

“Then do you want to watch TV? Don’t you love those variety shows?” Qi Shenbai wanted to distract her from thinking about those unhappy things.

Xu Jiaojiao shook her head slightly.

“Alright, then we won’t watch. Let’s just lie down, okay?” Qi Shenbai was extremely gentle. There was no trace of the pride he had in front of others.

Qi Shenbai was the king of the business world. Many people were afraid of him, but he could not even raise his voice in front of Xu Jiaojiao. He cared too much about her and loved her so much that he could not be firm in front of her.

He could show her all his tenderness.

Throughout the day, Xu Jiaojiao did not eat anything and only drank a little water. At night, she heard Qi Shenbai say sternly from outside, “No matter what happens, you have to save her.”

“Grandma…” In a daze, Xu Jiaojiao realized what he was talking about.

When Qi Shenbai heard her voice, he quickly returned to the room. “Jiaojiao, you’re awake?”

“Grandma…” Xu Jiaojiao frowned.

Qi Shenbai sighed softly. “I’ll tell you the truth, but you have to keep calm, okay?”

Xu Jiaojiao nodded weakly.

“Grandma was so emotional when she heard about the forum that she suddenly fainted. But don’t worry, I’ve already sent the best doctors to her. I’m sure everything will be fine.”

Qi Shenbai tried his best to suppress his worry and slowly explained it to Xu Jiaojiao.

When Xu Jiaojiao heard this, she suddenly stood up and ran outside. Qi Shenbai followed closely behind. Suddenly, Xu Jiaojiao’s body seemed to lose all strength, and she fell down.

Fortunately, Qi Shenbai reacted quickly and caught her with one hand.

“Didn’t you promise you’d stay calm?” Qi Shenbai’s hoarse voice was filled with heartache.

Tears fell despite her best efforts. “Grandma…” Her body trembled as she fell into Qi Shenbai’s arms.

She was worried. She was afraid. She was afraid of losing her grandmother, of never seeing her again…

“Don’t worry, it’ll be fine. I’ve already sent someone over. Your parents will be there. She’ll be fine. Don’t cry, okay?” Qi Shenbai did not dare to scold her now. He gently wiped the tears on her face and pulled her into his arms, comforting her non-stop.

Xu Jiaojiao did not want to cry, but she could not help it. The person she cared about the most was her grandmother.

“Don’t cry, that’s a good girl. If you don’t cry, I’ll take you to see Grandma.” Qi Shenbai kissed her forehead as if to verify his oath.

Xu Jiaojiao nodded slightly.

“Okay, be good. 1’11 get Yunduo to accompany you.” Qi Shenbai said and called

Qi Yunduo over.

“She doesn’t want to talk, so don’t force her. Just chat with her more and let her listen quietly,” Qi Shenbai reminded his sister in a low voice and handed her the clothes he had prepared just now.

“Got it.” Qi Yunduo walked into the room.. “Jiaojiao, shall I help you change?”
