The Billionaire’s Priceless Darling: 33 Days of the CEO’s Pursuit

With this thought, Gu Xiaoai felt much more at ease. Without Chopin’s piano music, sleepiness crept back in.

Trying to clear her mind, Gu Xiaoai gradually drifted off in his embrace.

…

For some reason, Gu Xiaoai’s fever came on fiercely this time. It subsided a bit at night, only to flare up again the next day…

Her body felt weak and exhausted, leaving her feeling particularly fatigued.

Soon, symptoms of a cold-sneezing, coughing-came along, making her feel dizzy and uncomfortable all day long.

After finishing another bag of IV fluids during the day, Gu Xiaoai looked at the bright sunshine outside the floor-to-ceiling window. She no longer wanted to lie in that bed.

Throwing on a jacket over her pajamas, Gu Xiaoai got up and headed downstairs, where the maids were busy cleaning.

“Miss Gu!” Seeing her come downstairs, housekeeper Tong, who was scolding the maids, exclaimed and hurried over, “Why aren’t you resting more in your room? We’re cleaning downstairs; the air is dirty.”

Looking at the Li Family villa, which the maids cleaned twice a day until it was spotless, Gu Xiaoai found it amusing.

Every piece of furniture in the Li Family villa was polished to a mirror-like shine.

And they talked about dirty air.

If she continued lying on that big bed without getting up and moving around, that would be breathing stale air.

Standing at the stairway, Gu Xiaoai rubbed her sore neck, “Housekeeper Tong, I’m a bit hungry and would like something to eat.”

“Alright, I’ll prepare it right away.”

Housekeeper Tong responded and turned to leave, but Gu Xiaoai called out to her, “Housekeeper Tong, I need internet access. Li Juefeng asked me to send out some news.”

“Yes, Mr. Li instructed it. I’ll have someone set up the internet shortly.”

Housekeeper Tong habitually bowed to her like an ancient servant, then turned and busied herself in the kitchen.

Behind the Li Family villa is a rather large garden, with a row of tall trees standing straight, an open-air café, and the refreshing scent of flowers wafting through the air. The vast green lawn is visually comforting.

Gu Xiaoai hadn’t been in the Li Family villa for a particularly short time, but this was her first visit to the garden. The scenery here was beautiful and the view was expansive.

“Miss Gu.”

Two maids followed closely behind her, timely handing her a steaming cup of coffee.
