In the morning, Jiang Yining opened her eyes and realized that the place where she had slept seemed somewhat unfamiliar. After a few seconds of bewilderment, she pulled back the covers and examined her clothes.
Subsequently, with a calm expression, she climbed out of Lu Zhi’s bed and walked out.
In the living room, she found Lu Zhi having breakfast. Jiang Yining’s seemingly calm face was instantly filled with irritation. “Lu Zhi, were you the one who changed my clothes last night?”
“No,” Lu Zhi replied softly, “You wanted to have Chinese food, right? I’ve already arranged for a genuine Chinese chef to make you breakfast. Please, have some.”
Jiang Yining had no appetite left after what she’d just discovered. She pointed at her outfit and asked, “So who changed me into these pajamas?”
“The maid,” Lu Zhi calmly answered while serving a bowl of soup in front of her. “You think it was me?”
“Hmph, you better hope it wasn’t you. Otherwise, I’d definitely poke your eyes out with a needle,” Jiang Yining muttered. “I told you I wanted to go back to my room to sleep last night. Why didn’t you take me back?”
Leaving her in his room made anyone think of all sorts of things.
“Seeing you sleeping so soundly, 1 couldn’t bear to wake you. So I left you in the room to sleep while 1 moved to the guest room,” Lu Zhi said, a slight smile playing on his lips. “I haven’t complained yet about how you defiled my bedroom, so why are you questioning me?”
“I…” Jiang Yining opened her mouth, attempting to speak.
Lu Zhi interrupted, “Miss Jiang, please don’t flatter yourself. 1 have no interest in a flat-chested little girl like you.”
Jiang Yining gritted her teeth secretly.
Why did he have to call her flat-chested?
Even though she didn’t have an hourglass figure, all the necessary parts were in their right places!
After a moment of silence, Jiang Yining slammed her hand on the table. “I don’t feel like eating.”
“You’re not hungry?” Lu Zhi raised an eyebrow.
“I’m full of anger. Who would be hungry in this state?”
Jiang Yining said irritably and then turned and walked away.
Lu Zhi watched her retreating figure and casually took a sip of tea. He said to the maid nearby, “Put all this breakfast in the refrigerator. Heat it up for her when she gets hungry.”
“Yes.”
The servant nodded.
Lu Zhi chuckled.
That sly and cunning look, full of hidden depths, made him seem like a big wolf calculating his prey.
Jiang Yining gave Abby detox treatments twice, and the color of the medicinal bathwater became progressively clearer. She also instructed the servants to prepare some tonics for Abby to drink.
Over the next two days, there was no rush to give Abby more medicinal baths or acupuncture. Her young body might not withstand such a high-intensity treatment, so Jiang Yining focused on stabilizing and strengthening her health.
Two days later, Jiang Yining took Abby out for walks. Initially, they hadn’t planned to bring Lu Zhi along, but he insisted on joining them, so they let him.
Abby adored Jiang Yining and Lu Zhi. She called them “brother” and “sister” incessantly, her sweet words flowing from her little mouth.
One moment she praised Jiang Yining for being the most beautiful sister she’d ever seen, and the next she declared Lu Zhi to be a handsome prince from a fairy tale.
They both felt a bit embarrassed by her lavish compliments.
Just when Abby’s treatment was progressing smoothly, Luna paid them a visit, claiming she wanted to check on Abby’s condition. As Abby’s mother, she naturally had the right to see her.
Jiang Yining and Lu Zhi didn’t refuse and allowed her to come.
As Luna entered the castle and saw Abby, she held her daughter and said, “Why have you lost so much weight? Is it because you haven’t been eating properly?”
Her words were filled with blame, with no trace of gratitude.
Abby, being a sensible child, explained, “Mom, I’ve been undergoing treatment these past few days, and I’ve had to take a lot of medicine. So my appetite hasn’t been very good. But after each treatment, 1 feel much better. 1 think Sister is a good doctor, so please don’t say anything bad about her.”
Her previous doctors used to give her injections and force her to take lots of medication, claiming it would make her healthier. She cooperated, but nothing seemed to work, and she had to endure all the side effects.
Sister Yining was different. Although the treatment was uncomfortable, she clearly felt her body becoming lighter after each session. Therefore, she trusted Sister Yining.
Abby gently held her mother’s cheeks with her tender, serious expression.
Luna was suspicious, thinking her daughter had been coached by Jiang Yining. “I’ve brought a doctor to examine you, Abby. Listen to your mother, and let’s
have a thorough examination to determine the effectiveness of her treatment..”
