Chu Qi almost choked on his saliva when he heard the question. "Cough, cough, cough…"

Ji'er quickly got up to pat his back. "Why are you suddenly coughing when you're supposed to be healthy?" She was quite puzzled as she watched the man cough until his face turned crimson.

Ji'er stopped patting him and began pacing around the room as if she was looking for something.

Chu Qi paused and asked, "What are you looking for?"
