Paranoid Girlfriend [Transmigration into a Book] - Chapter 15

After speaking with Father Dai for several minutes, Dai Shiyuan hung up the phone.

Just now, over the phone, she had made Mother Dai’s condition sound very serious. Father Dai had already agreed to let Mother Dai stay in the hospital for observation for a period of time.

Less than half an hour later, a huge commotion sounded in the villa again.

Dai Shiyuan quietly opened her door a crack and saw the servants supporting Mother Dai as they walked outside, with the female lead following behind them.

And on Mother Dai’s face, there was clearly a smile and a trace of smugness.

It seemed asking Father Dai to persuade Mother Dai had been an entirely correct and clever decision.

Dai Shiyuan lightly curved her lips. After Mother Dai left, she closed the door in satisfaction.

Now, she could finally live comfortably for a few days.

Dai Shiyuan lay on the bed and happily fell asleep.

She slept very well.

During breakfast, she did not see the female lead among the many maids, which made Dai Shiyuan even happier. Her appetite was much better than usual.

“Miss, Young Madam is sick. Master said for you to go take care of Young Madam,” the butler said with a bow after Dai Shiyuan finished eating.

Hearing this, Dai Shiyuan’s movement of wiping her mouth paused, and her whole body stiffened for an instant.

She could not even avoid the female lead, who would eventually kill her, fast enough. How could she possibly deliver herself to her door?

Dai Shiyuan cleared her throat, immediately raised a hand to support her forehead, and put on a weak appearance. “I set the air-conditioning too low last night. I’m feeling a little unwell now, so I need to go back to my room and rest.”

Seeing that she looked uncomfortable, the butler could not make things difficult for her and quickly ordered someone to help Dai Shiyuan upstairs.

Once they reached her room, Dai Shiyuan lay on the bed and squeezed her voice into a weak, breathless state as she asked, “Is my sister-in-law really sick?”

“Yes. She’s been coughing nonstop since early this morning. The butler didn’t even dare let her prepare breakfast, afraid she might infect you, Miss. And I heard she seems to have a fever of thirty-nine degrees,” the maid answered.

Hearing this, Dai Shiyuan frowned and had the maid leave.

Last night, the female lead had still been perfectly fine when she sent Mother Dai to the hospital. Then she turned around and caught a cold. The timing really was a little unfortunate.

But this was good too. If the female lead was sick, she would not come bother her.

Thinking this, Dai Shiyuan smiled happily.

Before long, her phone rang.

Seeing that it was Father Dai calling, Dai Shiyuan had a bad premonition. She listened to the ringtone for a while before answering and weakly calling, “Dad.”

Hearing that her voice seemed very uncomfortable, Father Dai immediately became anxious. He asked gently, “Xiao Yuan, how do you feel? Do you need to go to the hospital? Your mother happens to be there too. You must pay attention when you sleep at night. Don’t set the temperature too low. Your sister-in-law is already sick. You can’t get sick too…”

Father Dai rambled on and on. Dai Shiyuan discovered she could not get a word in at all and could only quietly listen to him speak.

“Xiao Yuan, you should be hospitalized too. That way, Dad can feel a little more at ease.” Father Dai spoke for almost ten minutes before finally persuading her with heartache.

Thinking of the fierce Mother Dai, Dai Shiyuan’s heart chilled, and she quickly said, “Dad, I’m fine. I’m only a little uncomfortable. I’ll be better after resting for a while. I don’t need to go to the hospital.”

She really did not want to face that sour and mean Mother Dai. Right now, the person she disliked most was that woman.

“That’s good. Once you’ve rested enough, go see your sister-in-law. She took care of your mom all night yesterday and wore herself out until she got sick,” Father Dai said with a sigh, his tone carrying heartache.

Dai Shiyuan instinctively wanted to refuse, but she was afraid Father Dai would ask her to go to the hospital to see Mother Dai instead. After weighing it over, she decided it was better to take care of the female lead.

At least the female lead’s mouth was not that hateful.

“Dad, I understand. I’ll go see Sister-in-law later,” Dai Shiyuan said obediently.

After hanging up the phone, Dai Shiyuan lowered her head and let out a heavy sigh.

She wanted nothing more than to avoid the female lead, yet there were always accidents pushing her toward the female lead.

Life was too hard for her…

After dragging things out for a long while, Dai Shiyuan finally went to visit the female lead in the afternoon.

The room the female lead was staying in now was the marital room from her marriage with the male lead. It was on the south side of the second floor, with excellent lighting.

Dai Shiyuan stood at the doorway and raised her hand, curling two fingers. But just as she was about to knock, she suddenly stopped.

During this period of time, she had obediently stayed in her own room. The place she went most often was the villa’s living room. She had never come to the female lead’s room before.

It had always been the female lead coming to find her.

Dai Shiyuan thought for a moment, then decided to “flee at the last minute.” She had just planned to turn around when the door was opened from inside.

Seeing the female lead’s unnaturally flushed face, Dai Shiyuan froze for one second, then squeezed out an awkward smile. With the corners of her mouth stiff, she said, “Sister-in-law, are you all right?”

“I… cough, cough…” Shan Yaxin had only spoken two words when she suddenly began coughing violently.

She hurriedly turned her head away and covered her lips with her slender fingers.

The coughing continued for several dozen seconds before finally stopping. Shan Yaxin lowered her hand, her face even redder from the fever. Her beautiful eyes shimmered with moisture, making her look pitiful, with a fragile kind of beauty.

Dai Shiyuan furrowed her brows lightly and could not help looking at her a couple more times.

Although the female lead made her feel somewhat frightening, she did appreciate the female lead’s looks. They completely matched her standards and fantasies for a beauty.

Those bright, clear eyes were now misty. Her originally fair, tender oval face was flushed like rouge, as red as gorgeous peach blossoms. Especially with the sickly, delicate aura around her, she looked extremely lovable.

If this person were not the female lead who would put her to death, Dai Shiyuan would definitely have comforted such a beautiful young lady while she was sick.

“Sister-in-law, you should go rest first. If anything happens, call a servant. I’ll go back to my room now,” Dai Shiyuan said softly, making as if to turn around.

Suddenly, a hand grabbed her wrist, and a feverishly hot body pressed against her.

Dai Shiyuan’s whole body stiffened. Her hands moved faster than her brain, supporting the figure that was falling toward her.

By the time she reacted, she almost pushed the female lead, who had fallen into her arms, straight out.

The two of them were far too close right now. Their breaths intertwined with each other, and for a moment, it was impossible to tell whose face was hotter.

She held the female lead’s two arms with both hands, while her right leg leaned forward and pressed against the female lead’s thigh to support her weight.

The female lead looked tall and slim, but in reality, she was still a little heavy. If not for relying on her leg for support, Dai Shiyuan really might not have been able to hold her up.

“Sister-in-law, can you get up first?” Dai Shiyuan’s leg was getting a little sore from the pressure, and she asked through gritted teeth.

Fortunately, the floor was not slippery. Otherwise, with the force of the female lead suddenly falling toward her just now, both of them would have fallen to the ground.

“Xiao Yuan, I… cough, cough…” Shan Yaxin weakly called out, then began coughing violently again.

With this movement, her weight increased, and she leaned even more toward Dai Shiyuan.

Dai Shiyuan had no choice but to bend slightly and slide both hands downward, tightly hugging the female lead’s waist.

Feeling the waist beneath her hands so slim it seemed unable to withstand even a grip, Dai Shiyuan almost could not believe it.

The female lead’s waist could actually be held with just her two hands!

This was way too slender. It was even half a hand slimmer than her own waist…

Unwilling to accept it, Dai Shiyuan measured again. After confirming that it really was very slim, she felt a little unhappy inside.

Her favorite kind of tiny waist had actually appeared on the female lead’s body. It truly made one both jealous and angry.

Clearly, the female lead was six years older than this body of hers…

Dai Shiyuan pursed her lips in dissatisfaction and measured again. Suddenly, a coughing sound came by her ear, and she hurriedly stopped her movements. Pretending that nothing had happened, she asked, “Sister-in-law, can you stand up?”

“I’ll try…” Shan Yaxin coughed once and slowly stood up while supporting herself on the hands that had been randomly touching her waist.

Originally, she had only wanted to grab the woman in front of her. She had not expected that this person would turn around with too much force and directly drag her down.

She suspected that this younger sister-in-law of hers had done it on purpose.

Dai Shiyuan had clearly seen how weak Shan Yaxin looked, yet after pretending to care with a few words, she had wanted to leave. She was not even willing to stay behind and put on an act.

Sure enough, this person only looked kind on the surface. In reality, her heart was vicious to the extreme.

Shan Yaxin lowered her eyes, hiding the hatred in them. After standing steadily, she raised her head.

In that instant, their gazes intertwined.

Dai Shiyuan looked into those eyes, made especially fragile by illness, and her heart gave a fierce jump.

The female lead with this kind of sickly beauty hit her straight in the heart…

When she played face-customization games, she had especially loved this kind of sickly beauty. Now there was a real person standing in front of her. If not for her reason still remaining, she definitely would have gone over and hugged her.

Although she had already hugged her just now…

“Xiao Yuan, Sister-in-law coughing like this nonstop is very annoying, isn’t it…” Shan Yaxin quickly lowered her head, her gentle voice carrying a trace of self-mockery. When she raised her head again, those beautiful eyes were already filled with several crystalline tears.

Dai Shiyuan shook, once again suffering a critical hit from this world-class beauty.

The female lead’s face—she was so into it!
