Step aside! My Demon CEO

Chapter 37 He Had a Fever and Was Sick

Jingyao called her a few times but Xia Nuan didn't answer. Jingyao was going crazy.

She saw the news, about the scandal with Lu Xiujie and the theft of military secrets. She knew that Xia Nuan was not only wronged, but also lost her only job.

Seeing that the rain outside the window hadn't stopped yet, she was really worried. She wanted to go out to xia nuan's house to take a look, but Muchen stopped her. It was getting dark and the road was slippery in the rain. Wait patiently for a while. Maybe Xia Nuan was just busy and didn't see the phone.

Xia Nuan took off his wet clothes and went into the bathroom naked.

Looking at the haggard face in the mirror, tears were dripping from the corner of her eyes, and her hair hung wet on her shoulder, dripping with water.

She turned the switch on the shower to the maximum and let the warm water spill on her body. She cried recklessly. The sound of the water covered the cry and the water merged with the tears. She could lie to herself that she was strong and did not cry.

After washing for a long time, she felt as if all her strength had been drained and she was very tired. The bathroom was already filled with mist from the hot water. She grabbed a large towel and came out wrapped in it.

The glass window was covered with intermittent drops of water, making the scenery outside blurry and hazy. Xia nuan was half lying on the bed, her eyes were a little air-conditioned, and her heart seemed to have been dug out of a large piece. It was empty. Her heart was broken, and there was nowhere to put it.

There was a knock on the door. Xia nuan got out of bed naked and opened the door without much thought.

It was Lu Xiujie, in a military uniform. He was drenched in rain on his left shoulder and head. There was also some water on his face, whether it was sweat or rain.

Xia Nuan glanced at him lightly and returned to the room without much reaction.

Seeing that she was only wrapped in such a thin towel, revealing her slender shoulders and long thighs, her hair was still wet. Lu Xiujie's heart ached for her haggard and dejected look.

Lu Xiujie closed the door and followed her closely. "Nuan, are you okay?" His voice was always charming.

After that, he found a Xia Nuan coat in the room and put it on for her.

Xia Nuan smiled sarcastically. "Can't Major General Lu see whether I'm good or not?"

"Nuan, I'm sorry about what happened in the newspaper." Lu Xiujie apologized helplessly. It was only today that he found out about Xia Nuan's dismissal, and the hr department had not approved of it at all.

But he also understood what the department was doing. The army had always acted in a clean and honest manner. This matter was originally said to be not big or small, but the media were all over it. There was no other way but to sacrifice Xia Nuan.

There was also the scandal between Xia Nuan and him. He didn't expect that someone had secretly taken photos of him during his trip to Tibet. If he knew who did it, he would never let this man go.

"You don't have to apologize, but I have caused you trouble." Xia Nuan stared into his eyes and said sincerely.

Ever since she met Lu Xiujie, she had been causing him trouble. She was the one who should apologize, wasn't she?

"Nuan, don't say that." Lu Xiujie suddenly looked at her tenderly and held her in his arms.

He held her so tightly that his arms were wide and warm. Xia Nuan wanted to close her eyes and enjoy this moment, even if this man was not what she loved, even if this man was someone else's.

But she couldn't. What right did she have? She remembered every word Xia Yujia said to her.

She hardened her heart and pushed Lu Xiujie away. "You go... Don't come to me again."

Stop looking for me. I, Xia Nuan, can't afford to provoke a man like you.

She had already fallen into such a state. She had been defeated from a proud princess to a street mouse, but the Xia Family still refused to let her go. Xia Yujia even threatened her mother's life. Xia Nuan admitted that she was afraid that with her current ability, she could not compete with the Xia Family at all.

"No, don't push me away anymore. Let me take care of you." Lu Xiujie hugged her tighter and whispered softly in her ear.

His thin kiss fell from his hair, forehead, and then to her lips. Xia Nuan felt a shiver all over her body, struggled to get away from him, and slapped him hard in the face.

A "Bang" was very crisp, covering the pattering of rain outside the window.

Lu Xiujie was stunned for a moment and looked at her. The panic and panic in her eyes could not escape his eyes.

"Lu Xiujie, stay away from me. Aren't you getting engaged to Xia Yujia? Stop looking for me." Xia Nuan roared, her messy wet hair wrapped around her face, and her petite body trembled slightly under the heavy coat. She didn't know if it was cold or because she was too excited.

"No, I won't marry Xia Yujia." Lu Xiujie explained. He reached out and gently brushed her hair behind her neck.

Xia Nuan suddenly smiled strangely. His smile was pale and weak. "Then what do you want to do? Buy me off and let me be your lover?"

After Xia Nuan finished speaking, she took out a bank card from the book on the table and asked lu xiujie, "One hundred thousand yuan. What does Major General Lu want me to do?"

Looking at her eyes and smile, Lu Xiujie felt as if her heart was gnawed by thousands of ants.

"Nuan, I don't mean anything else... Take this money and pay it back later." Lu Xiujie shook his head, not knowing how to explain it, as if everything was wrong.

"Do you really not need me to do anything? You know, I'm very short of money now. As long as Major General Lu orders me, I can take off all my clothes and stand in front of you." After Xia Nuan finished speaking, he suddenly smiled brightly.

She bit her lips tightly and felt pain in her heart.

There was a trace of injury in Lu Xiujie's eyes.

He looked at Xia Nuan at this moment. Although he was vulnerable, he had thick armor and was too cold to be approached.

Xia Nuan wanted to throw this bank card with a hundred thousand yuan in his face, but she couldn't. She needed money very much. Money, a vulgar and disgusting thing, could one day sell herself out for money.

"Xia Nuan, do you have to force me like this? Do you have to force yourself like this?" Lu Xiujie let out a low roar and stroked her shoulder with both hands.

Xia Nuan could feel the anger in his heart. Lu Xiujie's eyes seemed to be burning with fire, which made Xia Nuan scared.

There was silence. After some time, the sudden rain had stopped. The lights in the room were dim, and two long figures projected on the ground.

Lu Xiujie picked up his coat and left. He did not look at xia nuan anymore, nor did he look back. He only said faintly, "I'm sorry just now. You should rest first."

After that, he left first, until the door closed heavily. The sound of his leaving footsteps came from the stairs, getting farther and farther away, and the sound became softer and softer. Xia Nuan's every move just now was like a knife, which was carved into his heart. He didn't expect Xia Nuan to respond, but at least don't push him away, which made him feel very hurt.

It was good that he left.

Xia Nuan sighed deeply in his heart. She and Lu Xiujie had always been people from different worlds, so it was good for each other to draw a line.

Not long after, Jingyao arrived in a hurry. She had the key to xia nuan's house and opened the door directly.

The atmosphere in the room was cold. Xia Nuan lay on the sofa, curled up in a ball, and slept on his stomach. He didn't know if he was asleep. He narrowed his eyes and only covered himself with a coat, not even a quilt.

Jingyao was heartbroken and angry. "Nuan." She whispered Xia Nuan's name.

Xia Nuan opened her eyes. Seeing that it was Jingyao, she closed her eyes again. She was so tired that she didn't even want to open her eyes.

Jingyao looked at the wet room and the pile of wet clothes in the bathroom. Xia Nuan's hair was still wet, and it was obviously raining.

He put his hand on her forehead. It was so hot that he started to have a fever.

"Nuan, get up and go to bed. You have a fever." Jingyao pulled xia nuan up, but she was a delicate girl and didn't have that much strength.

Xia Nuan was in a daze and had a splitting headache. She was pushed half by jingyao and walked into the room. As soon as she lay down on the bed, she immediately fell asleep.

Jingyao called Muchen first. He was still looking for a parking space under the neighborhood and told him to buy some fever medicine. Then he found a dry towel, dried xia nuan's hair, and covered her with a quilt.
