She Was Too Careless This Time
The housekeeper, Xiao Fan, saw the madam’s hurried movements and caught up with her. Seeing the madam’s red-rimmed eyes, she immediately said, “I’ll go get some congee for the master now.”
Ming Liuyi nodded as she wiped the blood from Yao Zizhou’s mouth with a handkerchief.
The sweet lily bulb congee was served very quickly. It was extremely fragrant, and the white rice was very soft.
Ming Liuyi scooped up a small spoonful and blew on it to make sure it was not too hot, then carefully fed it to Yao Zizhou.
Fortunately, Yao Zizhou’s swallowing reflex was being cooperative, allowing Ming Liuyi to feed him the first mouthful smoothly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs if encouraged by this, Ming Liuyi sped up the feeding, afraid that Yao Zizhou would stop cooperating after a while. It could be said that whether it was in her previous life or this life, this was the first time Ming Liuyi took care of someone, let alone feed them. Her actions were not very skilled, but fortunately, she did not lack patience. Little by little, she fed him.
Even when the congee accidentally spilled out, Ming Liuyi did not rush. She gently wiped Yao Zizhou’s mouth clean and continued feeding him.
The entire process lasted almost an hour before the bowl of congee was finally finished.
Ming Liuyi felt a sense of accomplishment and immediately smiled. “Mr. Yao, you can have only some lily bulb congee today. You’ve just started recovering today, so your stomach can only take light meals. Don’t worry, I’ll prepare even more delicious food for you in the future.”
Xiao Fan had not felt such a peaceful atmosphere at home in a long time, so she could not help but smile with as well. This home finally had a matriarch, and felt like a home at last.
After Ming Liuyi finished her feeding session, she left to get some exercise. She was a little tired after maintaining the same posture for an hour. However, as she walked, she thought of Yao Zizhou.
Although people in a vegetative state did not consume a lot of energy like ordinary people would, it was necessary to maintain the body’s nutrition. It was not enough to only have congee every day.
At this moment, a small pickup truck drove in from outside.
The driver was Xiao Lin, who was in charge of purchasing ingredients. The ingredients in the villa were brought in fresh every day. Of course, Xiao Lin did not deliver them specifically for Yao Zizhou alone. He sent them to the main Yao family manor first, and then brought the rest here.
Ming Liuyi’s eyes lit up when she saw that Xiao Lin carried a box of fresh oranges. The vitamins in oranges were very high, and they were quite suitable as Yao Zizhou’s supplements.
Ming Liuyi immediately ordered the kitchen to make Yao Zizhou a glass of fresh orange juice and serve it to him.
When Ming Liuyi returned to the master bedroom, Yao Zizhou had already been changed into a set of pajamas by the caretakers. She sat beside him and could not help but take a few more glances at him. She had met many people before, but Yao Zizhou’s sleeping face would always steal her breath away.
Yao Zizhou was just too good-looking. Ming Liuyi held her slightly red face and stared at his profile.
Because of his illness, his originally cold, pale skin was now so bloodless that it almost looked translucent. His deep eye sockets, high nose bridge, sculpted jawline, and thin lips…

When she realized what she was doing, she immediately sat up. Oh no, her behavior was very dangerous. How could she be obsessed with the male lead’s face? She thought about the possibility of committing herself into a mental asylum in the future…
Fortunately, at the thought of this, Ming Liuyi’s restless heart immediately calmed down. She could not help patting her slightly red face.
At this moment, Xiao Fan came upstairs with a glass of orange juice. Then, she saw the madam slapping her own face in front of the master. ‘Madam is very abnormal today. Does she need to go to the hospital for a check-up? Could it be that Madam is still in shock because of Master’s vegetative state?
Ming Liuyi saw a person from the corner of her eye. She braced herself once more and said, “Give me the orange juice.”
“Yes, Madam!” Xiao Fan quickly handed it over. “This was just prepared in the kitchen.”
However, as soon as Xiao Fan left, another housekeeper came in, an unfamiliar one. “I remember that you like orange juice too, Madam, so I made another glass for you.”
Ming Liuyi did not think much and accepted it. In fact, Original Ming Liuyi was the one who liked orange juice, but Ming Liuyi did not need to say that, so she accepted it without batting an eye.
The housekeeper did not stay long after delivering the orange juice. While Ming Liuyi was not paying attention, the housekeeper stole a longing gaze at Yao Zizhou before she quickly left.
Ming Liuyi looked at the glass of orange juice and thought that it tasted good. She was thirsty, so she took a big gulp first… then she frowned. ‘This isn’t freshly squeezed orange juice, it’s like she used a large dose of blended orange juice… to cover something up?’ She then picked up Yao Zizhou’s glass. It tasted the same.
Ming Liuyi’s expression changed slightly. She had been too careless this time. Although most of the housekeepers here were brought in from the main manor, there were many people in charge of several aspects of the household, and many of them were new faces.
