Stolen Life of the Poor Girl, Top Luxury Family's Group Favor

Chapter 209

Xu Qiulai said this to reduce Xiao Ya's worry. But Xiao Ya couldn't really take the fever lightly.

"I'll go get medicine!" Xiao Ya got out of bed.

Xu Qiulai picked up a coat from the sofa and handed it to her: "Put this on first, don't catch another fever."

"It's fine, I'm very healthy, I rarely get fevers." In the past two years, the only time she had a fever was when she visited Sheng Yuxiao at the hospital, eating too many unfamiliar foods at once, and then being kidnapped for a night.

Though she said this, Xiao Ya still accepted Xu Qiulai's kindness and properly put on the coat.

After she left, Secretary Wang finally started feeling weak, leaning listlessly against the headboard, sighing: "The secret's out."

"What secret?"

"I told Xiao Ya my surname is Wang and that I'm the secretary of the Xu family. You just mentioned I've been delicate since childhood, revealing our unusual relationship. Isn't that completely giving it away?"

Xu Qiulai was used to her brother's peculiar sense of humor.

She replied flatly: "So what's next?"

"Let's tease her a bit more."

"..."

Their conversation ended quickly. Xiao Ya returned with the medicine box, climbed next to Secretary Wang, and handed him the thermometer: "Take your temperature first."

"Can't lift my arm," Secretary Wang said lazily.

Xiao Ya quickly moved closer and helped lift his arm.

Xu Qiulai couldn't stand watching this and bent down to pull his collar, helping him put the thermometer in place.

Five minutes passed.

"39.3°C, not too bad," Secretary Wang concluded.

Xu Qiulai looked at Xiao Ya: "You should go to school, I'll watch him."

"School? Oh right, the new semester has started," Secretary Wang agreed, "Yes, go ahead."

Xu Qiulai took the medicine box and picked out two types of medicine: "Take these first."

Xiao Ya brought over a glass of warm water but didn't rush to leave. She asked: "Is it bitter?"

Secretary Wang paused.

He had watched the show and knew the little girl had given Sheng Yuxiao lots of candy. Ah, when a child cares for someone, they worry about things being bitter.

How adorable.

Three days didn't feel long enough.

At this moment, Xu Qiulai said flatly: "It's fine, he's not picky about food and isn't afraid of bitter things."

"Okay then, I'm leaving." Xiao Ya put on her backpack and walked out, though still somewhat worried.

As soon as she left, Xu Qiulai called for the servants and family doctor.

The servants were a bit shocked - how had the house become so different after just one day away?

Secretary Wang, being attended to while changing into a sweater, lazily leaned back and said: "Just bought it."

Xu Qiulai turned around at his voice and asked: "Did Xiao Ya buy it?"

Secretary Wang nodded and added a complaint: "The aesthetic isn't great, right? Your son spoiled her."

Xu Qiulai barely lifted her eyelids, her tone still flat: "It's fine."

Secretary Wang's expression froze slightly: "You're an artist..."

"Yes, and from an artistic perspective, it's an interesting collision between cold showroom style and homey atmosphere. It's quite good."

"..."

Xu Qiulai stayed with her brother for most of the day, watching as his temperature dropped and his spirit returned after some sleep, before leaving.

As soon as she left, the perceptive servant came forward with the red checkered apron and stainless steel water bottle, asking: "Sir, shall I throw these away?"

"Throw away? Who said anything about throwing them away?" Secretary Wang frowned slightly, "Don't get them dirty, put them back."

The servant was stunned. Hadn't his tone earlier suggested he disliked them? If he disliked them, why keep them???

"What time is it?" Secretary Wang asked.

"It's four o'clock."

"Elementary school should be letting out now, right?" Secretary Wang threw off the blanket and got out of bed, spreading his arms as someone immediately helped him put on his coat and tie his tie.

"Let's go pick up the child."

On his way, Secretary Wang received a call from Sheng Yuxiao.

"You had a fever? How are you now?" Sheng Yuxiao asked.

"The fever's gone. Did your mother tell you?"

"Xiao Ya called me, saying she was worried she might accidentally kill you with her care." Sheng Yuxiao paused, "Xu Ruying was next to me at the time and immediately shared this joyful news with Uncle."

Secretary Wang: "...Little rascal."

But after cursing under his breath, Secretary Wang stared at the approaching school gates through the car window and muttered: "I feel like Xiao Ya has already guessed my identity."

Sheng Yuxiao paused for a moment before saying: "She probably has, otherwise she wouldn't have made that call."

Secretary Wang replied lazily: "That's what I'm thinking."

Xiao Ya hadn't been to school for a while, even missing the opening ceremony.

Zhou Xiaoshu and An Ying had missed her, so after school, they walked with her towards the gate.

As they walked, Zhou Xiaoshu said: "You don't know, when you were gone, they were worried you had transferred schools. How would they handle getting beaten up by the fourth graders without you?"

An Ying remained silent, keeping her head down.

"Xiao Ya." Secretary Wang opened the car door and walked up to the children, asking: "Are these your friends?"

Zhou Xiaoshu immediately fell silent, staring at Secretary Wang.

To be fair, Ke Muning was also very handsome, and both Sheng Yuxiao and Qin Sui were quite striking.

But one had a fierce and cold demeanor, one had sharp intimidating eyes, and one was distant and gloomy... none of them would appeal to children's aesthetics.

Secretary Wang was different.

His features were handsome, he wore a smile, and had an air of gentle refinement that naturally made people feel at ease.

"Who... who is he, Xiao Ya?" Zhou Xiaoshu asked quietly.

Before Xiao Ya could answer, Secretary Wang smiled and said: "I'm here to pick her up and take her home."

"Are you the secretary?"

"What do you think?"

The quiet An Ying finally looked at Secretary Wang and asked in a tiny voice: "Did you get another stepfather?"

Xiao Ya: "..."

"No, that's not it." Xiao Ya firmly denied.

"Then he..."

Xiao Ya grabbed Secretary Wang's arm and pushed him forward: "He's still sick, we need to go now, bye-bye."

"Oh, bye-bye." Zhou Xiaoshu watched them leave and couldn't help but exclaim, "Xiao Ya really does know some strange people..."

Meanwhile, Xiao Ya got into the car with Secretary Wang, but they drove down an unfamiliar road.

Xiao Ya first felt Secretary Wang's forehead - no more fever. Then she asked: "Where are we going?"

"You'll see when we get there."

The car drove straight to the airport.

Secretary Wang dropped the pretense and took her directly onto a private jet.

Two hours later, the plane landed in South Province.

Li Family Village.

Xiao Ya and Secretary Wang stood at the edge of the forest.

"Come on, let's go catch centipedes, grasshoppers, spiders..." Secretary Wang's tone lifted slightly, showing his excitement.

They had been in Jin City for school during the day, and by evening they were here.

Xiao Ya was both shocked and dazed.

As she stepped in, the dead branches cracked under her feet.

Returning to this place again, all the tears and pain seemed to be deeply buried underground.

Secretary Wang followed: "How do you catch centipedes? Do we need to dig in the soil?"

His gentle voice clearly and profoundly reminded Xiao Ya that she now had an incredibly wonderful life.

In the distance.

Aunt Man looked up blankly: "Is... is that Xiao Ya? Who's that with her?"

"What?" Her husband put down his hoe and stretched his neck to look.

After a moment, the man said: "That... can't be Xiao Ya, right?" She was too dazzling to recognize.
