Chapter 1281

The IV drip was completed, and Yu Lili had lain awake for some time . When they returned home, she fell back into a deep slumber . It was obvious that she was in terrible discomfort .

After sleeping for a while, she suddenly got up and turned to look at Ou Ming, who was sitting by her bed, and asked, “Have you had your breakfast? You should grab a bite . What time is it now?”

“It’s past 11,” he said . “Are you hungry?”

Yu Lili shook her head . She was in too much discomfort to feel any hunger .

“Go back to sleep then,” Ou Ming said . “Call me when you’re hungry . ”

Yu Lili nodded her head . She closed her eyes and quickly fell back asleep .

Ou Ming had specially applied for a marital leave that spanned the next few days . With Yu Lili in her current state, there was nothing much for Ou Ming to do . So, he had Xu Cheng courier the critical documents from the company to the villa and sorted them out at home .

A phone call from his mother arrived before the documents did . A look at the clock revealed that wasn’t yet noon . Ou Ming uttered an expletive before answering the call .

Jiao Ziqing voice came through the phone very quickly . She yelled angrily, “Why aren’t you here yet? Didn’t you say that you were coming home today?”

Ou Ming thought for a moment and replied, “Mom, I’m not feeling too well today . I forgot to give you a call . ”

As expected, the moment Jiao Ziqing heard that, her anger dissipated and voice softened drastically . She asked in concern, “What happened? What’s wrong? Is your hand acting up again? Have you gone to the hospital yet?”

“Yeah . I went . It’s nothing serious . Yu Lili is taking care of me at the moment . I’m already feeling much better . ” Ou Ming lied without batting an eyelid .

When Jiao Ziqing heard that, her concern grew . She exclaimed, “Oh my goodness, where are you now?”

“I’m at home,” Ou Ming said .

“How can that do?” his mother asked . “That woman doesn’t look much older than a child herself! She’s still so young, so how would she know how to look after a person? Where are you? I’ll come over to take care of you . ”

“That’s not necessary . I have a bit of a headache, so I’m hanging up the phone . ” Without waiting for Jiao Ziqing to reply, Ou Ming disconnected the call .

Jiao Ziqing looked at her cell phone in panic and redialed Ou Ming’s number . He refused to pick up the call .

Ou Ming did feel a headache coming on as he witnessed his phone ringing incessantly . He couldn’t allow her to come . If she found out that it was in fact Yu Lili who was ill, and he was looking after her, his mother’s prejudices would only increase .

His documents soon arrived . Before long, it was close to 3 p . m . , and he was starving . He went up to the bedroom and found Yu Lili still fast asleep .

Ou Ming reached out to touch her forehead . Perhaps it was because she was under the covers, but her temperature was a little high . Fortunately, she wasn’t in a chill any longer .

“Yu Lili, wake up and eat something,” Ou Ming said in a loud yet gentle whisper .

Yu Lili’s eyes opened immediately . “What time is it now?”

“It’s after 2 p . m . ,” he replied .

“Why don’t we head over to your mother’s now?” Yu Lili suggested . “I’m feeling very uneasy . Have you given your mom a call yet?”

“I have . I already told her everything . It’s fine,” Ou Ming said . “What do you feel like eating? I’ll have it delivered . ”

Yu Lili didn’t know how much of what he said to believe and asked, “Are you sure?”

“Of course,” Ou Ming said . “Why would I lie to you? Would you like some porridge?”

Yu Lili felt reassured and nodded her head . “Alright then . OK . ”

The food arrived almost an hour later . However, appearing together with the delivery guy was someone none of them expected to see .

When Ou Ming opened the door and saw Jiao Ziqing, his heart almost stopped . “Mom, how did you find out about this place?”
