The butler saw the doctor out while a servant came over with a cup of water, which Li Hannian took and waved the servant away.

The maid, knowing the unspoken cue, delicately picked up the tray and tip-toed downstairs.

After handing the medicine and the water cup to Chu Nanxi, Li Hannian spoke gently, "Take your medicine and get some rest early."

Having swallowed the capsule, she replied gratefully, "I'll be fine after some sleep; you should go and rest too!"

Chu Nanxi put the water cup back on the nightstand and causally reached for her laptop, which was swiftly confiscated by Li Hannian before she could even open it.

"No work today, sleep!"

Tomorrow was the board meeting, and her plan wasn't finished yet—how could she possibly sleep?

"It's okay. I'll just work for a little bit." Knowing he was concerned about her, Chu Nanxi looked up and smiled at him, "I'm used to staying up late; I can't sleep right now anyway."
