Although she was drowsy because of her pregnancy, the filming of Life Reboot continued smoothly with Gu Weiwei’s insistence.
Fu Hanzheng followed her to the set almost every day and took care of her needs.
However, when the filming came to the end of the last week, Gu Weiwei, who had been feeling unwell due to the sudden drop in temperature, caught a cold.
She coughed so hard that her throat became hoarse. Fu Hanzheng was so worried that he could not fall asleep in the middle of the night, so he fed her a cup of hot water.
Then he snuck into the living room and made a call to He Chi who was far away in the capital.
He Chi had just finished the experiment on the two new drugs and had switched off his phone without even checking it.
But within one hour, Lei Meng and his men opened the door.
Lei Meng dragged He Chi out of bed with the phone in his hand.
“Boss needs you urgently.”
He Chi answered the call with his teeth clenched, “You better have something urgent to tell me!”
He had not slept for the past two nights while completing the experiment and he had only been in bed for a few hours.
He had asked someone to break into the house and wake him up. If it was not a serious matter, he would curse him.
“Weiwei has a cold,” Fu Hanzheng said with a heavy tone.
“A cold?” He Chi gritted his teeth and asked, “A cold? Just because of a cold? You asked someone to wake me up in the middle of the night?”
Why did he have to wake him up in such a violent way just because of a cold? Where was his humanity?
“I don’t want to hear your nonsense, I just want to know what to do now,” Fu Hanzheng said coldly.
Suppressing his anger, He Chi said, “She is pregnant and it is impossible for her to take medicine or have an infusion, so let her drink more water.”
However, Fu Hanzheng soon said, “Do you want to die?”
Startled by the threat, He Chi said seriously.
“Well make sure she doesn’t have a fever. If she does, cook some scallions, ginger and turnips to get rid of the cold, and make sure she takes a rest.”
Fu Hanzheng took note of what he said and asked again, “Anything else?”
“And drink more water.” He Chi added weakly.
“I will call you if there is a problem,” Fu Hanzheng said and hung up.
He Chi waved the phone around, trying to vent his anger, but he stopped himself when he realized that he was the one who had got himself into this situation.[1]
After the call with He Chi, Fu Hanzheng called Lei Ning and asked her to buy a thermometer.
He checked Gu Weiwei’s temperature and made sure that she was not having a fever, before he felt slightly relieved.
Gu Weiwei opened her eyes drowsily and mumbled with a hoarse voice, “Why are you still awake?”
Fu Hanzheng pulled the blanket over her. “Want some water?”
Gu Weiwei shook her head and whispered as she tugged at his pajamas, “It is a bit cold, hold me until I fall sleep.”
Only then did Fu Hanzheng lie down on the bed, take the cold girl into his arms and kiss her face.
He did not dare to sleep too deeply throughout the entire night and woke up every two hours to check if she had a fever.
Luckily, Gu Weiwei did not have a fever, although her throat was hoarse.
She ate some light breakfast and told Jolin to start work on time.
Fu Hanzheng escorted her to the set and whenever she coughed, he would deliver hot ginger soup to her.
Those who had been hostile to him gradually let go of their prejudices, when they saw him taking care of their director so diligently.
