Chapter 191: Chapter 191: Gu Manxi Getting Sick (2)
Song Chen was worried.
“You’re sick? Wait a moment. I’ll get my assistant to buy some medicine… No, I’ll call the doctor to check on you. Lu Shanhe is a workaholic by nature. He shoots nonstop every day. I need to talk to him to reduce your workload.”
Gu Chu jumped off the bench and brought Gu Manxi some pills and a glass of water. “Mommy, take your medicine. Go to bed early after you finish eating.”
“I’m fine. I got caught in the rain in the afternoon.” Gu Manxi stopped the father and daughter with a smile.
Her heart felt warm.
A bland sense of happiness welled up in her heart. It was indescribably beautiful.
Gu Manxi took the cold medicine from Gu Chu and took it with water. Then she said seriously, “Don’t worry. I’m only getting symptoms, so I’ll be fine after a good night’s sleep.”
Gu Chu and Song Chen shook their heads. “No.”
Gu Manxi: …
Song Chen quickly found a doctor from the hotel. The doctor gave Gu Manxi a simple check-up.
Nobody was expecting the result of the check-up. Gu Manxi had actually been running a slight fever. She didn’t even notice it! In the afternoon, she was filming with Cao Yuezhi. After being drenched in the cold rain for a full five hours, she was indeed unwell.
Song Chen’s heart ached so much that he almost wanted to say, “Don’t work anymore, I’ll take care of you.”.
He swallowed his words. He knew that Gu Manxi was strong and was never willing to rely on outsiders. If Song Chen were to force her into becoming a rich lady who stayed at home all day, she would definitely dump Song Chen without any hesitation.
Song Chen and Gu Chu were busy with their work. They tried to lower Manxi’s temperature to let her sleep early and rest.
Gu Manxi lay on the bed with a temperature-lowering sticker on her head. She still wanted to take out her script for tomorrow to review. Gu Chu placed her hands on her small waist and acted like a little adult. She said in a childish voice, “Your body is the most important thing in the world.”
Gu Manxi had no choice but to lie on the bed and rest.
Gu Manxi, who was kind by nature, did not forget to send Cao Yuezhi a WeChat message, telling her to rest well, but Cao Yuezhi did not reply to her message.
After taking the medicine, she started to get sleepy. Gu Manxi’s entire body was heavy, and her eyelids drooped, making her drowsy. In her half-asleep state, she saw Gu Chu and Song Chen whispering something beside the bed. Gu Chu’s warm little hand touched her forehead. The father and daughter quietly turned off the light and softly left the room.
Gu Manxi fell into a deep dream.
In the past few years, she often got sick, but every time she got sick, she had to bear it alone. Now that Chuchu was sensible, Song Chen had returned, and her career had improved, she felt unprecedentedly happy in her dreams.
Song Chen was worried about Manxi being sick.
Song Chen first told Gu Chu to go back to her room to sleep. After coaxing his daughter to sleep, Song Chen asked the staff to bring another blanket — he was sleeping on the sofa tonight. Outside the hotel’s windows, the sky was dark and Hengdian was brightly lit. The production crew was still filming.
Song Chen could not sleep. He took out his phone and called Lu Shanhe. The two of them quarreled on the phone.
Song Chen scolded Lu Shanhe for not taking care of the actors, causing Manxi to work while having a fever.
Lu Shanhe accused Song Chen of being an evil capitalist who didn’t know the value of art.
Song Chen roasted Lu Shanhe for only knowing how to make art yet couldn’t pick the right second female lead.
Lu Shanhe got back at Song Chen saying that Cao Yuezhi was his company and that there was something wrong with Song Chen’s brain.
They lowered their voices and cursed each other for ten minutes. Both of them were filled with anger and hung up the phone.
Song Chen got up every half an hour and went into the room to check on Gu Manxi’s condition. He then went to the room next door to tuck Gu Chu in. He passed the night in a daze. When he woke up again, it was already sunny. It was ten o’clock in the morning.
