Chapter 34 - Chen Lihua Recounts The Time She Was Sick In The US.


Chen Lihua nodded her head in understanding, “Mmm!, I get you. It’s just that I don’t understand why some people could be so jobless at times, to the extent of them plotting against other people instead of them to work hard to improve in the places they are lacking”.

“That’s how the world is. You just need to work hard and at the same time, look out for yourself”. Liu adviced. ​​

Chen Lihua smiled and replied, “OK. I really like your advice and it made a whole lot of sense. I could really learn a lot from you”.

Liu Longwei smiled as well, “You don’t have to worry, we are already married so, we would be together most of the time and you can learn from observing”.

Chen Lihua didn’t say anything this time around, but her face said it all that she understood him.

Madam Liu didn’t even pay attention to them, she was busy texting her husband who was not in the country so, she didn’t even hear their talks all along.

Chen Lihua continued looking at the night life with a little smile in her face.

Liu Longwei observed her and wondered what made her smile.

“Do you like the night view that much?”

Chen Lihua replied without looking at him, “I like looking at the city at night. To me, it looks more beautiful than in the day time”.

“Yeah, it sure does look beautiful. If I may ask, why do you like the night view?”, Liu Longwei inquired.

This time around, Chen Lihua turned to look at him, “Maybe it’s because I see better in the dark, so I tend to appreciate it more”.

“Hmm, that sounds interesting”.

Liu Longwei stared at Chen Lihua for a while, he looked at Chen Lihua’s off shoulder gown then he remembered Lady Chen telling him that Chen Lihua easily caught a cold, so he asked concernedly, “Don’t you feel cold?”

Chen Lihua was taken aback by the question but nevertheless, she answered him, “Am a little cold, but it’s not a problem because I can manage till we get to our destination”.

The reason Chen Lihua was feeling cold at the moment despite the fact that it was summer was because, the AC in the car was in full blast.

“It’s not good to manage in terms of your health, after all, you are a doctor so you should know more about this than me”.

Then, Liu Longwei told Asst Duyi to reduce the AC to the medium level before taking off his suit jacket, then he handed over to her, “Here, take it and there’s no sweat on it”.

The reason Liu Longwei gave his suit jacket to Chen Lihua was because even though the AC was now at medium level, she would still feel a little cold and he didn’t want to reduce the AC to the lowest as it would inconvenience other people in the car including him.

Chen Lihua saw they suit jacket in Liu Longwei’s outstretched arms, she wanted to reject him, but hearing him say that there’s was no sweat on it and she indeed felt a little cold, she accepted it.

“Thank you. My body has always been like this since I was little, I easily feel cold, the same goes with Lady Chen, we are similar in that aspect”.

“If you easily feel cold, how then did you survive in the US because I know the weather there isn’t funny at all and it’s more hash than here”.

Chen Lihua put on the suit jacket before replying with a faint smile, “I really suffered there especially during my first year because of the weather. I was admitted to the hospital five times that year because of a high fever”.

Liu Longwei pitied her so he asked, “Didn’t you have anyone to take care of you over there?”.

“My mom’s sister is based there with her family, so she was the one that took care of me. Lady Chen also visited me one of the times my brains were nearly fried due to the fever”.

Chen Lihua heaved a sigh before continuing, “But I thank God that I survived it, and it also made me know how to take care of myself better”.
