Madame is Pretending to be an Academic Slacker Again!

In a dream.

Xiao Bailu seemed to hear someone calling her:

”Little Lu Lu, Lu Lu?”

”Brother Huo, I’ve been waiting for you so long, I’m almost asleep. Why are you so annoying, always working overtime.”

”Then I promise you, I’ll finish on time in the future and never let you wait for me like this again.”

”Do your words count?”

”Brother’s words count.”

”What if they don’t count?”

”If they don’t count... my Big Huo Huo is at your disposal, you can bully me all you want.”

”Annoying, you’re taking advantage of me again!”

”Little fool... who let you be this cute? What do you eat every day to grow so adorable?”

”I was born beautiful, you big dummy.”

”Ahem, why call me a big dummy? Isn’t your favorite name for me Brother Huo?”

”Hmph, because you call me little fool, the brother of little fool is obviously a big dummy.”

”Really... can’t do anything about you.”

Xiao Bailu laughed in her dream.

She opened her arms to fly into the man’s embrace.

But grasped at nothing.

She suddenly woke up.

In the pitch-black room, where was Little Lu Lu, let alone Brother Huo.

Only a dog man, comfortably and idiotically asleep on her big bed.

Her expression turned cold.

”Dog man, not a single word of what you said was fulfilled.”

”Promised me you’d never work overtime again, yet after becoming CEO, you worked until midnight every day and came home late.”

”Promised me you’d give our baby a title, after the baby was born we’d get married, but then you ’died’ for three years!”

”Even if you died, I could still be a widow for you, but you dare to come back alive with another woman’s child. Dog man, dog man!”

She was so mad she cursed for a long while but still couldn’t vent her anger.

Simply got up, threw on a coat, and went to the yard.

Recalling what Master Tuantuan conveyed from Qin Xin last night, her big eyes shifted as she started moving.

Early the next morning.

Huo Tingzun awoke with a scratchy throat, in the midst of intense heat.

”Cough cough, cough cough cough...”

His head was spinning, feeling like he was back during the worst period of his illness in the hotel.

His mind seemed to rust in an instant.

He took medicine last night, wasn’t the fever supposed to go down?

Just as he was wondering.

Reporters had already rushed in from outside, the flashes and shutter clicks sounded incessantly.

In pitch-black vision, he realized, the silly woman had tied a headband over his eyes again at an unknown time.

He could only hear the noisy surroundings —

First, journalists eagerly and concernedly asking: ”Miss Xiao, how is your Big Cousin’s condition? I represent millions of Empire netizens, here for live coverage, everyone is worried about him and hopes to see his quick recovery.”

Then Xu Shifeng’s confident voice, rushing to answer: ”I believe this Big Cousin will definitely have his fever down today. The moment to witness the efficacy of my prescription has arrived. I urge all the Empire’s citizens to trust that our expert team’s standards are world-class and are the absolute heroes defeating the nightmare disease.”

After that came a series of thunderous applause.

Someone crowded around him to insert a thermometer, someone pulled up his sleeve to take blood pressure, some were rubbing alcohol swabs on his wrist, seemingly preparing to draw blood for testing.

Where was Xiao Bailu?

Why wasn’t there the silly woman’s voice?

Did she leave him and run off again?

Huo Tingzun tried hard to distinguish her voice amidst all the chaotic sounds, but he couldn’t find it.

He felt a bit anxious and panicked.

As a prop, at this moment he couldn’t tear off the headband, much less walk on the ground.

Sweat gradually beaded on his forehead.
