The second time of selfless dedication, Xiao Bao woke up amidst a noisy commotion. He felt so weak that he didn’t even want to move a finger. Glancing outside the window, judging by the sun, it was probably midday. He couldn’t believe he had slept for so long.EGBtHJShMCJbUgcDOxaUuLhSyBvmqG

Turning his head, he saw the bed in complete disarray, and the air was still thick with the lingering scent of their activities, making Xiao Bao frown. He moved his body slightly, feeling an overwhelming soreness, especially in his lower regions… He felt completely numb there.QifuYUJzoDDmdSlDbhKDQUsclencZR

Suddenly, he felt some liquid seeping from that area. Remembering the events of last night, he felt a wave of nausea.MWMOyMUNOTDpUFltwVHMAifblZAYde

From outside, Zhao Cai’s loud voice came through, “Don’t be so shameless. This is the Jin family’s territory. If you have the guts, get out! If you don’t release our young master, you won’t be able to leave Suzhou City!”nRTHYwkDuodDqfyQzrsHGmIWsBmdhp

With this reminder, Xiao Bao suddenly recalled this instruction and felt both sorrow and anger. He had not only dug a pit for himself but also filled it with his last breath, making sure to leave his tender butt exposed for the final use.QYsHMUexXLlPHFQprTizXIjHkjQlRv

“Your young master is fine, it’s just that Huai En was too enthusiastic last night and wore me out.” After saying this, he secretly laughed, finding some pleasure in his words.IGtkeqIqaHyokwxWVWuOocaUnYAueC

Zhao Cai and Jin Bao, still bewildered by the sudden change of Maiden Zheng to Young Master Huai En and extremely dissatisfied with the shameless group insisting on staying, were now gleeful. “The young master is indeed wise and mighty. I’ll tell the cook to make a turtle soup for you to replenish your strength.” Their voices gradually faded away, and Xiao Bao let out a long sigh of relief.KAxDFHWvSMmlPQRnOjURGilXGOWoQf

The bedroom door was kicked open, and someone strode in. After a few steps, they stopped, turned around, and slammed the door shut before stomping heavily to the bedside.XdQWPXnGjbNNIpyaTpiBANlLheFOBy

The smile on Xiao Bao’s face vanished instantly. In the past, when he was eagerly pursuing Huai En, he might have been a bit thick-skinned. If Huai En had said such things then, he would have just laughed along. But after last night, Xiao Bao thought there had been some progress between them. He didn’t expect this ungrateful man to be so demanding in bed and then turn into a completely different person as soon as he got dressed, with no regard for their shared intimacy. To him, Xiao Bao’s self-sacrifice was just shamelessness.MscptMpZrnXZVLTPGWafQdSIsKFSAv

His face turned ashen instantly. He wanted to jump up and retort, but he realized that anything Huai En might say now would only make him feel more humiliated. There was no need to put himself up for more scorn. Besides, his entire body was sore, his head was spinning, and his stomach was churning with nausea. He just wanted to leave as soon as possible.HccKetvVLKjahjNKFFdlhdesEBdrqM

Seeing Xiao Bao biting his lower lip and not speaking, struggling to dress himself with pained hisses, Huai En knew that Xiao Bao, who had always been pampered, must be in a lot of pain now. He wanted to go over and help him but his pride couldn’t bring himself to do it.xSyUzYxIwJbzMNIbJzxZybKAOZxhMj

Once Xiao Bao was dressed and looked himself over to ensure he appeared presentable, he headed for the door. Just before leaving, he angrily shoved Huai En, causing him to stumble. Huai En didn’t retaliate.mhiLowgrnROqpleICefCigGoVKqRDl

Each step Xiao Bao took was agonizing. His lower back burned, sending searing pain up to his head. Every movement inevitably caused friction with his sore rear, making him grit his teeth in pain.XwLMpNiOdahajpoKfbUFLPPOVaVjyd

Fortunately, he had arranged for Huai En to stay nearby, so the walk wasn’t long. He managed to make it back to his room, called for a servant to bring water for a bath, and climbed into the wooden tub, gritting his teeth against the pain. He even passed out at one point. When he woke up, the water had gone cold. Not wanting anyone to see his miserable state, he forced himself to finish cleaning up. Then Xiao Bao collapsed onto his bed and fell into a deep, exhausted sleep.AIOmWwfOymKdNWwtjbMHlVdICHjTAI

After a maid discovered that Xiao Bao’s body was so hot it could cook a pancake, Madam Jin frantically dragged four famous doctors from the city to the Jin mansion in the middle of the night, urgently instructing them to treat Xiao Bao.LLQbKSFlRMEtQuZXeAHkrjLbvWseED

Actually, it was warm springtime, and the fragrance of flowers filled Suzhou City. This was a difficult time for her husband, whose asthma often flared up during this season. With Xiao Bao sick, she hadn’t yet told her husband. Now that she had attended to Xiao Bao, she needed to go back and care for her husband.aZjYWbovUtlmyADEtdGklrQDTSPsVN

Zhao Cai was stunned, wondering if this person had been kicked in the head by a donkey. Normally, he seemed like a soulless shell, looking at people but appearing as if he saw nothing. Even when killing, his face showed no emotion, and he did things so mindlessly. Zhao Cai seriously suspected that this person was truly sick.hmwECzdEbbfBEMUdIQnmOJczaIEmNw

But their young master was even worse. To be so captivated by such a monster, and a man at that, only to fall ill after being intimate. It showed he was not fated for it. However… Zhao Cai sighed deeply. If their young master could be more sensible, he and Jin Bao might live a few more years longer.aGbJngdFUoNxMppUxhcMBuQLUraqns

Translateee well! Thank you for updating! I hope more for Christmas😅 I’m anticipating the 50+ chapters, it was my favorite before it was removed.
