After Ouyang Qi entered the villa, Ning Ran didn’t follow him immediately.

However, he stayed inside for a long time without any signs of coming out.

After some time, Ning Ran began to worry because the villa belonged to Nan Chen. He spent a lot of time in the study, which doubled up as his office. Hence, there would be a lot of sensitive commercial documents inside, and strangers shouldn’t be allowed near them.

With that in mind, Ning Ran rushed back into the house anxiously and shouted, “Ouyang Qi, what are you doing?”

“I’m in the toilet. What else could I be doing?” Ouyang Qi retorted.

“Why are you taking so long?”

“My stomach hurts, so don’t rush me.”

Once she was sure the voice came from the toilet, and Ouyang Qi wasn’t snooping around in the study, Ning Ran heaved a sigh of relief and sat on the sofa to wait.

After a while, Ouyang Qi came out.

His normally pale face was even lacking color now, while his forehead was sweating profusely. The pain seemed to be written all over his face.

“It looks serious. Do you want to go to the hospital?”

“There’s no need for that. Perhaps I had too much to drink last night, and it may have upset my stomach. Do you have any medication?” Ouyang Qi asked.

“Yes. However, they’re just ordinary painkillers. Do you still want them?”

“Fine. They will do for the moment. Please give me a tab. Can I sit and rest for a while?” Ouyang Qi asked.

“Alright, have a seat while I get you the pills.”

In a short period of time, Ning Ran found the medication and handed them to Ouyang Qi.

After that, she poured him a glass of water.

After taking the painkillers, Ouyang Qi thanked her and lay down on the sofa to rest.

As he did look like he wasn’t feeling well, Ning Ran didn’t chase him out. Instead, she left the door open and waited by the side.

After twenty minutes, Ouyang Qi no longer felt any pain and got up. “I’ll be leaving now. Thanks for everything.”

“Weren’t you supposed to give me my script? Where is it?” Ning Ran asked.
