Defrosting The Cold Young Master-Chapter 840 - 844 Concerns
Chapter 840: Chapter 844 Concerns
Gu Junzhu’s heart ached in threads and strands as he kissed and soothed him ceaselessly.
He was actually a spoiled and arrogant young master with a particularly bad temper. When he was training soldiers that year, he had no patience for his subordinates. At the slightest disagreement, he would kick them.
But for the little one in his arms, he only felt heartache when he cried, without a hint of annoyance.
Ye Xingbei couldn’t bear to see her son cry. When her son cried, she felt like crying too.
Gu Junzhu held Xiao Shumiao and refused to let go, so she could only pat Xiao Shumiao’s back and kept soothing him.
Lingyue, seeing Xiao Shumiao cry so sadly, became extremely anxious. The child who hardly spoke a few words a day turned into a chatterbox, ceaselessly comforting Xiao Shumiao.
Only when Xiao Shumiao’s crying subsided a little did Gu Junzhu carry him out of the western restaurant and into the car.
In the car, Xiao Shumiao, exhausted from crying, fell asleep in his arms.
Ye Xingbei asked Gu Junzhu, “Tired? Let me hold him for a while.”
His health had just improved a bit, and he was still very weak. His complexion was still sickly pale. Ye Xingbei, fearing he would fall ill again, was extremely worried.
Gu Junzhu gently patted Xiao Shumiao’s little back, shook his head and said softly, “It’s okay, I’m not tired.”
The car entered the Qiao Family villa, and Gu Junzhu took Xiao Shumiao directly to the bedroom he shared with Ye Xingbei.
Since Lingyue arrived, Xiao Shumiao had always slept with Lingyue, but seeing him cry like that today, Gu Junzhu really didn’t feel secure letting the two children sleep together.
Xiao Shumiao didn’t wake up until the afternoon.
After eating something, Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei took him and Lingyue for a walk in the back mountain, hoping he wouldn’t sleep too much during the day and be unable to sleep at night.
The little guy didn’t bring up Feng Yi again, but he lacked his usual liveliness, looking sickly, like a drooping little tree.
Ye Xingbei also dared not mention Feng Yi, fearing it would provoke his sadness again. She tried her best to talk about interesting things to make him happy.
That night, the little guy ate some food, took a bath, and fell asleep early again.
Children forget things quickly, like goldfish with a seven-second memory—usually, any unhappiness is forgotten after a cry.
Xiao Shumiao used to be like that, perhaps crying heartbreakingly one second and bursting into laughter the next.
Having raised him for over five years, it was the first time Ye Xingbei had seen him so down for such a long time.
Seeing him continuously drooping, Ye Xingbei felt very uneasy, always feeling that something was about to happen.
Sure enough, in the middle of the night, she woke up groggily, instinctually reaching to touch Xiao Shumiao, her palm felt a scorching temperature.
Startled, she shivered and woke up instantly, sat up abruptly, and turned on the wall lamp.
Gu Junzhu also woke up, sat up, and his first reaction was to check on Xiao Shumiao. “What happened?”
“He’s got a fever,” Ye Xingbei flipped out the thermometer to check the little one’s temperature.
Forty degrees.

Slightly higher than the highest temperature Gu Junzhu had when he was severely ill.
Gu Junzhu immediately pressed the intercom, asking for the Qiao family’s family doctor to come over.
Ye Xingbei’s hand trembled a bit holding the thermometer, she said self-reproachfully, “I felt something was off with him, I was watching him, and I didn’t realize until his fever got this high…”
“It’s okay,” Gu Junzhu comforted her, “It’s normal for children to get fevers up to forty degrees. Can you stay up all night, every night, watching him?”
Though he said so, seeing the little guy’s feverishly red face, his heart felt as if it was being squeezed, and he felt very guilty too.
