Chapter 74

74 I Don’t Just Want to Be Friends With You

At this moment, Ji Zhao’s head was resting on her crossed arms. Her cherry lips were slightly open, and she looked very cute.

Shen Yao subconsciously wanted to get closer…

Just as his lips were an inch away from the cherry, Ji Zhao suddenly turned around.

A trace of disappointment flashed across Shen Yao’s eyes.

Just now, he was so close to tasting that little cherry.

“You’re awake?” The sleepy-eyed Ji Zhao sensed the abnormality and slowly got up, lazily stretching her arms.

“Yes.” Shen Yao nodded gently and asked in confusion, “Where are we now?”

“The medical center.” Ji Zhao thought for a moment and suddenly went in front of Shen Yao-

Faced with her sudden approach, Shen Yao felt his heart beating faster.

Ji Zhao raised her hand and touched his forehead. “Fortunately, you don’t have a fever anymore.”

“Did I have a high fever last night?” Shen Yao understood after some thought.

“Yes, perhaps it was because you were drenched in the rain yesterday that you suddenly had a fever.” Ji Zhao asked softly, her eyes filled with concern. “What about now? Do you feel better?”

“I’m much better now.” Shen Yao smiled gently. “Ah Tao, thank you.”

“It’s my duty.” Ji Zhao smiled indifferently and couldn’t help but yawn. “Since you’re much better, let’s go back to the restaurant first?”

“Might as well.”

When the two of them rushed back to the restaurant, Second Manager You was about to visit.

“Third Brother Shen, are you feeling better?”

“Thank you for your concern, Second Manager You. I’m much better now.” Shen Yao smiled gratefully.

After returning to the room, Ji Zhao first took half a tael of silver and gave it to the waiter who had helped last night.

Then, she personally went to Physician Wang’s house and personally sent the consultation fees over.

When she returned to the restaurant again, she borrowed the kitchen again and personally made some light and delicious vegetable porridge for Shen Yao.

Seeing her so busy, Shen Yao felt even more grateful.

“Your diet needs to be lighter these few days, so I made this vegetable porridge,” Ji Zhao explained softly. “By the way, I’ve already consulted Physician Wang. The medicine he prescribed isn’t bitter, so you don’t have to worry.”

“Ah Tao,” Shen Yao suddenly looked up and called out gently.

“Huh?” Ji Zhao, who was tidying up the bed, subconsciously looked back. “What’s wrong?”

“Thank you.” Shen Yao stood up and bowed to her solemnly.

“What are you doing?” Ji Zhao quickly walked to his side and helped him up. “Although we’re not husband and wife anymore, I think we’re still friends. Friends should help each other! Besides, if it weren’t for helping me sell the snails, you wouldn’t have suddenly gotten a fever!”

“Ah Tao, I don’t just want to be friends with you.” Shen Yao subconsciously said the words hidden in his heart.

“It’s okay, I understand! We can be good friends!”

“I mean…”

“Oh right, I suddenly remembered that I still have some things I haven’t said to Second Manager You. I’ll go to the kitchen first!”

After saying this, Ji Zhao hurriedly left.

It wasn’t until she reached the kitchen that her heartbeat returned to normal.

It was not that she did not understand what Shen Yao meant, but she only wanted to focus on her career now. It would be best if she could get rich quickly! As for feelings, she was not ready to face them.

Although she knew that Shen Yao would become a high-ranking Grand Secretary in the future, Ji Zhao did not want her feelings to be riddled with other things. Hence, she could not answer Shen Yao’s question just now.
