Chapter 302: Chapter 302: Recovering from the Shock

Jiang Fan gave a wry smile as he looked at the text message on his phone.

’That woman stayed up this late just to send a text cursing me?’

Jiang Fan didn’t pay it any mind. He figured he and Li Muwan would likely never cross paths again.

As for Li Jiaxiang, he would just have to find a chance to explain things to him later.

Just then, Jiang Fan suddenly heard a frantic knocking at the door.

"Daddy! Daddy!"

"Mengmeng?"

Jiang Fan scrambled to his feet, sensing that something was wrong.

When he opened the door, he saw Mengmeng knocking frantically, already bursting into tears.

"What’s wrong, Mengmeng? Weren’t you already asleep?"

Just then, Nanny Chen, also woken by the commotion, rushed out. "What is it? What’s wrong, Mengmeng?"

"Daddy, Mommy fainted!" Mengmeng cried.

A sense of dread washed over Jiang Fan. He quickly scooped up Mengmeng and dashed upstairs, with Nanny Chen close behind him.

As he reached the door to Mengmeng’s room, Jiang Fan saw Yin Ruxue collapsed beside the bed. Her complexion was ghastly.

"Oh my goodness! Miss, what’s happened to you?"

Nanny Chen hurried over to help Yin Ruxue up, while Jiang Fan set Mengmeng down and dashed over even faster.

"Xue’Er, what’s wrong?"

Jiang Fan gently shook Yin Ruxue while placing a hand on her wrist to check her pulse.

Yin Ruxue was extremely weak. Her lips were badly chapped, and large beads of sweat dotted her face.

She tried to say something, but she didn’t even have the strength to speak.

"Did you just take a shower?" Jiang Fan asked, his fingers still on her pulse.

Yin Ruxue managed to let out a weak breath.

"I just... I just took a quick hot shower."

"Ugh, you just had a drink. Don’t you have any common sense?"

"Sir, we need to get Miss to the hospital, now!"

"There’s no need. Nanny Chen, could you please cut some slices of ginger into a cup and add hot water? Leave the rest to me."

"Okay!"

Not daring to waste a second, Nanny Chen hurried to the kitchen.

Jiang Fan scooped Yin Ruxue into his arms, gently laid her flat on the bed, and began to circulate his Dragon Elephant Profound Skill. He channeled a powerful energy into her waist and lower abdomen, massaging her in a steady rhythm.

’This is the first time I’ve ever felt her waist and stomach so clearly,’ Jiang Fan thought. ’I have to admit, she feels amazing.’

But Jiang Fan had no time for such thoughts. He continued massaging Yin Ruxue while comforting Mengmeng at her side.

"Don’t worry, Mengmeng. Mommy’s going to be fine. Daddy will figure something out."

Hearing Jiang Fan’s words, Mengmeng’s sobs began to subside.

Just then, Nanny Chen returned with a cup of hot water steeping with ginger slices.

Jiang Fan massaged Yin Ruxue for a few more moments before rushing downstairs. He pulled a small bottle from his pocket; it contained powdered Centennial Ganoderma.

’Thank God I carry this bottle with me,’ Jiang Fan thought.

He added a small amount of the powder to the cup and hurried back upstairs to help Yin Ruxue drink it.

Afterward, he resumed massaging her lower abdomen.

Gradually, the color started to return to Yin Ruxue’s face.

"Nanny Chen, she’s fine now. You should go get some rest. I can handle things here."

"Are you sure we don’t need to go to the hospital, Sir?" Nanny Chen asked worriedly.

"Don’t worry, she’s fine now," Jiang Fan said firmly.

Nanny Chen glanced at Yin Ruxue, then turned and left the room.

"Jiang Fan... thank you."

The color had visibly returned to her cheeks, and the large beads of sweat on her face were gone.

Mengmeng pulled a few tissues from a box and carefully climbed onto the bed to wipe her mother’s face.

"Mommy, are you okay?"

Yin Ruxue looked at the tear stains still on Mengmeng’s cheeks and gave a faint smile.

"Don’t worry, Mengmeng. Mommy’s fine."

Jiang Fan shot Yin Ruxue a look, completely exasperated.

"Taking a hot shower right after drinking... President Yin, do you have no common sense? On top of that, you know it’s that time of the month for you. You shouldn’t have been drinking in the first place."

Yin Ruxue blushed.

"Alright, stop nagging me in front of our daughter."

"Mengmeng, your mommy is fine now. You should get some rest," Jiang Fan said, stroking Mengmeng’s forehead.

Mengmeng looked at them both, still shaken from the scare.

Clearly, what happened to her mother had given her a terrible fright.

"Daddy, why weren’t you here before? Weren’t you going to sleep with me and Mommy?" Mengmeng suddenly asked.

Jiang Fan froze. He glanced at Yin Ruxue, who also looked flustered.

"Mengmeng, Daddy had some last-minute work to do. I was afraid of waking you and Mommy, so I went downstairs to work on it."

"You really scared me!"

"It’s okay now. Go to sleep. I’m not going anywhere tonight. I’ll stay right here and watch over you and Mommy."

Mengmeng nodded and lay down on the bed with Yin Ruxue.

Jiang Fan turned off the light and gently stroked Mengmeng’s head.

After a long while, the breathing of both Yin Ruxue and Mengmeng became slow and even.

Lying on the bed and taking in the faint, pleasant scent in the air, Jiang Fan slowly drifted off to sleep as well.

The next morning, Mengmeng’s alarm clock startled all three of them awake.

Mengmeng was still drowsy and rubbing her eyes, but Yin Ruxue looked much better.

Early in the morning, Jiang Fan helped Nanny Chen get Mengmeng ready for the day, while Yin Ruxue went to her room to put on her makeup.

After a busy while, Nanny Chen had breakfast ready. The three of them ate and then headed out the door.

Worried that Yin Ruxue was still weak, Jiang Fan took the initiative and got into the driver’s seat.

After quickly dropping Mengmeng off at school, Jiang Fan drove straight for Xuerong International.

But just then, Yin Ruxue suddenly said, "Don’t go to the office yet. Go to Yifeng Garden."

"Yifeng Garden?" Jiang Fan asked, surprised.

"Mhm."

Though confused, Jiang Fan pulled out his phone and followed the GPS directions toward Yifeng Garden.

Fifteen minutes later, the car stopped at the entrance to Yifeng Garden.

"Get out."

Yin Ruxue walked over to the driver’s side door. She took a key from her pocket and handed it to Jiang Fan.

"Building Three, Unit Two, Apartment 1011. You’ll be staying here for a while. I’ve already had someone stock it with daily necessities. Call me if you need anything else. And try not to go out unless you have to."

Then, Yin Ruxue handed him a car key.

"If you absolutely have to go out, there’s a car for you in the underground garage."

Jiang Fan glanced down; it was a key to a BMW.

"Why am I staying here?" Jiang Fan asked, surprised.

"I told you, Liujiang River is not someone to be trifled with. Wan’Er has already made arrangements for Supervisor Sun; they’ll be staying near the company for a while."

"This..." Jiang Fan laughed bitterly. "I don’t think this is necessary. I’m not afraid of that bastard Liujiang River, and I have no reason to hide from him."

Yin Ruxue shook her head. "Jiang Fan, you’re a good man, but sometimes you’re just too arrogant."
