She furrowed her brows before calling him, but it wasn’t himself who answered the phone.

“Miss Tang, I’m sorry, but Fifth Master isn’t feeling well and unfortunately can’t make it to the appointment. I apologize for making you wait so long.”

“Are you still at the hotel?”

“Yes.”

“In which room? Is it convenient for me to come over?” Tang Wan was already there, and regardless of her role, it was necessary to check on him.

There was a brief hesitation on the other end before a room number was given, “5520.”

After hanging up, the two people on the other end looked at each other.

“You’re calling her over? If Fifth Master wakes up, he might kill you; he has always disliked others entering his territory. Someone is strongly possessive.”

“That’s for the same sex; Miss Tang is female.”

“Do you really think Master cares about gender? Don’t let him wake up and throw a fit, leaving Miss Tang embarrassed, how awkward.”

“…”

“Did Fifth Master take his medicine? He didn’t sleep well last night; maybe we should give him a bit of a sleeping pill?”

“…”

When Tang Wan entered the room, a wave of unseasonable warmth greeted her; the room was too hot, with both the air conditioner and humidifier running.

“Miss Tang, you’re here.”

“What’s going on with Fifth Master?” Tang Wan was still holding the pastry she had prepared for Jiang Jinsang.

“An old ailment, it acts up on rainy days, probably not quite accustomed to this place yet, felt unwell since last night,” explained a member of the Jiang Family.

“Is it okay if I check on him?” Tang Wan understood the etiquette.

“Of course, but he just fell asleep.”

“No worries, I’ll just take a quick look.” She had come all this way, no reason not to see him at least.

As soon as the bedroom door opened, Tang Wan saw the person lying on the hospital bed, not using the hotel’s bed linen, instead wrapped in warm gray covers, his gentle features sunk into them.
