The next day, Huangfu Yan was in his office, constantly blowing his nose and calling Qiao Xiaoluan in every hour to empty the trash can.
Qiao Xiaoluan shot him a sideways glance and coldly remarked, "The General Manager is really strong. After blowing cold air all night, you still look so energetic."
In truth, Huangfu Yan was just putting on a brave face. He had several documents that should have been handled yesterday but were now pushed to today; he simply couldn't delay any longer.
He pressed his hand against his feverish forehead and thought with a wry smile, "If only I could catch a fever like her and forget everything I don't want to remember."
Seeing him struggle, Qiao Xiaoluan felt a fleeting pang of sympathy, but it was quickly replaced by anger and resentment.
She felt it wasn't enough; she wanted to be like a hedgehog, stinging him with every interaction. The wounds he had inflicted on her in the past needed to be repaid tenfold.
"Get in the car." Huangfu Yan wasn't sure if Qiao Xiaoluan would listen to him; after all, she had refused him many times before, so what difference would one more make?
As expected, Qiao Xiaoluan narrowed her eyes and bluntly replied, "No thanks. I have my own legs and can walk."
Huangfu Yan pondered for a moment before saying, "Soon, I will revoke the rule that 'Cleaner Off-Duty Time must be later than mine.'"
Qiao Xiaoluan let out a cold laugh and mocked him, "Why not revoke it now? Oh, you want to keep your reputation clean and avoid gossip. You can step on me to climb higher; this little thing shouldn't be an issue for you."
Huangfu Yan opened his mouth to explain, but Qiao Xiaoluan interrupted him with a raised hand. "Don't say anything. I don't want to argue with you at work. You're the General Manager, and I don't want others gossiping."
"Xiaoluan!" Huangfu Yan hurriedly stood up, trying to grab her. He had only taken two steps on the thick carpet when he suddenly felt dizzy and fell to the ground with a thud. If he had completely passed out from the fever, Qiao Xiaoluan might have had a change of heart and called a doctor for him since no one else was around. But right now, he was merely suffering from muscle aches due to the fever; his mind was still quite clear.
Qiao Xiaoluan had initially reached out to help him but withdrew her hand upon seeing that he was still conscious. Coldly, she said, "The General Manager should call a doctor himself."
"If you don't call for me, I'll lie here all day," Huangfu Yan resorted to childish stubbornness.
"Someone else will come in," Qiao Xiaoluan reminded him.
Huangfu Yan replied, "By the way, hang a 'Do Not Disturb' sign on the door for me."
Qiao Xiaoluan scoffed; how could she let him have such control over her? She began banging on the door, causing the employees outside to think something serious had happened, and they rushed in.
Before Qiao Xiaoluan could say anything, someone shouted, "What's wrong with the General Manager? Quick, call an ambulance!"
Huangfu Yan slowly got up and feigned calmness as he said, "I just tripped. It's nothing; everyone can go back now."
The crowd exchanged puzzled glances between Huangfu Yan and Qiao Xiaoluan, suddenly realizing that it was probably just a lovers' quarrel.

In the end, Qiao Xiaoluan took Huangfu Yan to the hospital.
His words, "I want to see what it feels like to be in pain and burning with fever," touched the softest corner of her heart.
She remembered that feeling, as if both her heart and body were being roasted over a fire, with pain like small flames slowly burning and spreading wider.
She whispered, "Even if you’re trying to play the pity card, I still won't forgive you."
Thinking that Huangfu Yan had lost too much fluid and had fallen asleep, she was surprised when he suddenly opened his eyes, looking quite alert. He said softly, "What about the Beauty Trap?"
"Huh?" Qiao Xiaoluan instinctively took a small step back.
"You said that if you successfully seduced me again, you'd give me another chance," Huangfu Yan said from his hospital bed, wearing a look that sent shivers down Qiao Xiaoluan's spine. Then, under her astonished gaze, he removed his hospital gown, revealing his perfect male physique.
Qiao Xiaoluan's mind went blank in an instant. How could a patient be so shameless!
"What... do you want?" Qiao Xiaoluan stammered.
"Seduction comes in three levels. The first is physical seduction; the second is material seduction; and the third is spiritual and soul seduction. What I intend to do now, you can see for yourself. I plan to go through all three levels in turn," Huangfu Yan explained leisurely.
Before Qiao Xiaoluan could react, Huangfu Yan reached out with his long arm and pulled her onto the bed. She fell against his bare chest, her face instantly flushed. She struggled desperately, and with a loud crash, the IV stand toppled over.
The nurse, hearing the noise, pushed the door open and walked in. Upon seeing such an intimate scene, she awkwardly cleared her throat twice. "Um... The patient is not suitable for vigorous activity right now; please exercise some restraint." With that, the nurse kindly closed the door behind her.
Qiao Xiaoluan was completely stunned. Just as she was lost in thought, Huangfu Yan's kiss descended upon her. The bitter taste of medication lingered in his mouth, spreading to Qiao Xiaoluan's tongue and leaving her with a sense of bitterness.
Just moments ago, she had resolved to become a goddess of vengeance, but how had she suddenly become his captive?
Finally managing to break free from Huangfu Yan through a series of punches, kicks, and pinches, Qiao Xiaoluan slapped him hard across the face. "Huangfu Yan!"
Instead of getting angry from the slap, Huangfu Yan raised an eyebrow and smirked playfully. "I'm really trying hard to seduce you."
"You won't succeed," Qiao Xiaoluan gritted her teeth.
"Just wait and see," Huangfu Yan replied with a smile. "I think my physique is quite impressive; don't you agree?"
