After figuring things out, Xia Qiqi felt relieved and got up from the bed.
But as she got up, she felt dizzy.
Her stomach still felt uncomfortable.
Did she drink fake alcohol yesterday?
Why was she feeling so terrible!
Xia Qiqi freshened up and then opened the door to go and pour some water to drink.
She suspected she didn't have to go to work today.
She wanted to stay at home and rest for a day.
While calling in to take a day off, Xia Qiqi opened the door and went out.
In the dining room outside the room, Xiao Nanchen and Le Ling were having breakfast.
Le Ling looked a bit surprised to see Xia Qiqi suddenly appear, and quickly greeted her, "Miss Xia, you're up so early today?"
With a warm smile on her face.
Xia Qiqi didn't respond.
Le Ling seemed used to it and didn't think anything of it.
On the other hand, Xiao Nanchen didn't even look at Xia Qiqi.
Of course, Xia Qiqi didn't pay attention to him either.
After finishing her call to request leave, she went to pour herself a glass of water.
Drinking alcohol always made her thirsty.
If she wasn't thirsty, she wouldn't have woken up so early.
Maybe if she had slept a little longer, her head wouldn't be hurting so much and her stomach wouldn't feel so uncomfortable.
After drinking a glass of water, when she was about to go back to her room, Le Ling spoke again, "Miss Xia, would you like to have breakfast with us? We have mung bean porridge this morning, it can make your stomach feel better."
Xia Qiqi originally wanted to refuse outright.
But her stomach growled suddenly.
It seemed to be reminding her that she needed to eat something.
And considering her stomach was indeed uncomfortable.
So she went straight over.
She sat across from Xiao Nanchen, choosing a spot that was relatively far from him.
She just had a habit of not wanting to be too close to Xiao Nanchen.
At that moment, she saw Xiao Nanchen suddenly put down his chopsticks and push his wheelchair away.
Le Ling helped Xia Qiqi serve the porridge and then saw the remaining half bowl of rice in front of Xiao Nanchen. So she quickly asked, "Mr. Xiao, are you not eating?"
"Not hungry today," Xiao Nanchen replied.
"Oh," Le Ling found it a bit strange.
Xiao Nanchen never had a picky appetite, no matter what was served, he would eat it.
Why did he suddenly lose his appetite today?
Xia Qiqi watched Xiao Nanchen's indifferent figure and felt a bit inexplicably irritated.
There was a feeling.
It was as if he deliberately disliked her.
But Xia Qiqi didn't dwell on it.
After all, she didn't care.
She lowered her head and ate her porridge.
It had to be said that Le Ling's cooking skills were quite good.
Even a simple porridge could taste this delicious.
Originally, Xia Qiqi just wanted to take a few bites casually.
But unexpectedly, she finished one bowl and then ate another.
Le Ling had been accompanying her and couldn't help but laugh, "Miss Xia, if you like it, you can wake up a little earlier every morning before going to work, and I'll make it for you."
"No need, I can't get up," Xia Qiqi refused directly.
Every morning going to work was like going to war, where would there be time for breakfast?
"Not having breakfast isn't good for your stomach."
"You talk too much," Xia Qiqi said irritably.
Le Ling felt a bit wronged.
She silently stopped talking.
Seeing Le Ling's appearance, Xia Qiqi began to feel a bit sorry.
After all, this servant girl had been treating her well too.
She cleared her throat, but of course, she couldn't apologize directly, she had her pride.
Xia Qiqi deliberately changed the topic, "You helped me change my clothes last night, right? Thanks."
Just to ease the slightly awkward atmosphere.
"No, Miss Xia, it was Mr. Xiao who took care of you last night," Le Ling explained hurriedly.
Xia Qiqi spewed out her mouthful of porridge.
It was an extremely ungraceful sight.
Le Ling wrinkled her nose in disgust.
Xia Qiqi coughed several times.
She nearly choked to death from Le Ling's words.
After calming down for a while, she asked loudly, "What did you say?!"
"I said Mr. Xiao took care of Miss Xia last night. Originally, I wanted to take care of you, but Mr. Xiao told me to rest early, so I..." Le Ling explained as she saw Xia Qiqi's worsening expression, "Last night, Miss Xia came back and vomited severely. Mr. Xiao was very worried about you."
"So, you're saying that Xiao Nanchen changed my clothes for me?!" Xia Qiqi was truly about to explode.
Damn it.
He even took off her bra!
"Probably," Le Ling reluctantly answered.
Xia Qiqi was really furious.
Seeing Xia Qiqi's appearance, Le Ling gathered her courage and said, "Miss Xia and Mr. Xiao have already consummated their marriage, haven't they? Isn't it normal for Mr. Xiao to help you change clothes? Why is Miss Xia so angry..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Xia Qiqi slammed the chopsticks on the table and headed straight for Xiao Nanchen's room.
Xiao Nanchen had just left the dining table and went back to his room.
At this moment, Xia Qiqi was going to find him.
She didn't even knock on the door, she just pushed it open and went in.
Xiao Nanchen was sitting in front of the computer desk, his hands swiftly typing on the keyboard.
When he saw Xia Qiqi suddenly appear, he glanced at her and continued to focus on the screen.
"Xiao Nanchen, who told you to change my clothes last night? Who gave you the right to do that?!" Xia Qiqi questioned him.
Her temper was exploding.
In the face of Xia Qiqi's outburst, Xiao Nanchen remained calm.
He didn't even shift his gaze, keeping it fixed on the screen.
In a calm tone, he said, "I'll remember for next time."
That flat and straightforward sentence was devoid of any emotion.
Xia Qiqi felt even more enraged as she listened.
Why did Xiao Nanchen have the right to remain so calm? Why didn't he show a hint of remorse?
Why... treat her like this?
It was clear that Xiao Nanchen was the one who did something wrong.
Clearly, he undressed her without her consent.
Why could he be so nonchalant about it!
"Xiao Nanchen, do you know that your behavior is despicable and shameful..." Xia Qiqi started to say but was interrupted.
"So, what do you want me to do?" Xiao Nanchen stopped typing on the keyboard and his gaze shifted to Xia Qiqi.
Xia Qiqi was taken aback.
She felt suffocated, as if all her anger was trapped in her chest and couldn't be vented.
"Can you apologize?" Xiao Nanchen asked, "Or should I write a pledge, promising not to undress you, not to enter your room, not to get close to you at all?"
Xia Qiqi stared intently at Xiao Nanchen.
She felt that something was off about him today.
He didn't lose his temper, seemingly acting as usual, but at this moment, Xiao Nanchen had an intimidating aura.
Damn it.
Who should be angry in the end?
"No need!" Xia Qiqi said fiercely, "Just pretend to be looked down upon by a dog!"
After speaking, she forcefully slammed the door shut.
Unconsciously, Xiao Nanchen's fingers under the computer desk clenched into a fist.
He suppressed his emotions and silently adjusted himself.
He tightly pursed his lips for a long time.
After a while, he refocused his attention on the computer screen.
Many times, he relied on work to numb his emotions.
It never failed.
