Wei Anning changed clothes and went out, having calmed down completely.
However, when she saw Leng Youchen still in the bedroom, she immediately looked displeased, “Why haven’t you left yet?”
Leng Youchen looked at her with a smile that was not quite a smile, his tone ambiguous, “Your skin doesn’t itch anymore?”
Wei Anning became angrily embarrassed, “Who, who’s itching?”
Seeing her reaction was so intense, Leng Youchen knew she had misunderstood and tried to hold back his laughter as he said, “I meant the rash on your body, where did your mind go?”
Her face flushed a deep red as blood rushed to her cheeks, and she was so angered she could spit blood, “I, I was talking about the rash, what did you think I was talking about?”
Watching her look obviously guilty while trying to seem high and mighty, Leng Youchen found it amusing, and wanted to tease her some more, but he feared she would become irritable and harder to placate, so he simply said, “Hmm, we are both talking about the rash, a very pure rash.”
Hearing him deliberately stress the word “pure,” Wei Anning felt even more upset and glared at him fiercely before turning to walk towards the door.
As they went downstairs, the private doctor, having received the order, was already waiting in the living room.
Upon seeing them descend, he quickly stood up to greet them, “Third Young Master, Third Young Lady.”
Leng Youchen nodded and said, “Dr.
Jin, Anning has developed a lot of rashes on her body, please check on her.”
Wei Anning was unbearably itchy and reached out to scratch herself; some areas were already scratched raw.
The private doctor conducted an examination and said, “Third Young Master, Third Young Lady, from the current symptoms, it appears to be a food allergy.
I’m not sure what the Third Young Lady ate earlier?”
Wei Anning busily scratched at the rashes on her body, her itchiness making her anxious.
Hearing this, Leng Youchen knew it was the food from lunch that caused the allergy and he called out, “Ande, bring the lunch menu here for Dr.
Jin to see.”
The butler complied with the order, and soon brought the menu over.
Dr.
Jin took it and quickly scanned through, then said, “The lunch menu includes several kinds of seafood, Third Young Lady, are you allergic to seafood?”
“No, I never used to be allergic to it,” Wei Anning said, her whole body itching uncomfortably.
Dr.
Jin frowned slightly, “Your allergic reaction is very severe; I’ll prescribe you some anti-allergy IV drips to stop the itchiness first, and then you should use the western medicine and ointment together.
Also, it’s best not to scratch the red rashes with your hands, as they can easily become infected and scar.”
After prescribing the medication and administering an IV drip to Wei Anning, as well as giving some additional instructions, Dr.
Jin stood up and left.
Leng Youchen instructed the maid to bring over a glass of warm water.
He then placed the pills in Wei Anning’s palm and brought the cup to her lips.
Wei Anning took a sip of water, swallowed the pills, and then, holding his hand, she drank all the water in the cup.
Leng Youchen put the cup back on the coffee table.
Seeing her hand reach out to scratch the rash, he quickly slapped her hand away, “Didn’t you hear what the doctor said just now?
Or do you want the wound to get infected, inflamed, suppurated, and necrotic?”
Wei Anning recoiled her neck in fright, the idea horrifying; she didn’t want her body to rot and die.
“But it’s so itchy.”
“Where does it itch?
I’ll scratch it for you,” Leng Youchen said.
Wei Anning pouted, “You scratching me won’t cause an infection?
You obviously just want to take advantage of me.”
Leng Youchen was caught between laughter and helplessness, and looking at her face covered in rashes, he said disdainfully, “I have no interest in a human-shaped Buddha’s hand fruit; it’s too uncomfortable!”
“…”
