The Big-Shot is Pampered after She Becomes the Villainness

141 Taking Care of Su Tang

Su Tang’s gastric illness came very suddenly this time. Fortunately, the medicine took effect quickly. Just as Shen Xian had said, the stomach pain was relieved in less than twenty minutes.

Su Tang sat up gratefully and looked at Shi Man, who was leaning against the head of the bed reading. She smiled and said, “Thank you for just now. Manman, if it weren’t for you, I thought I almost wouldn’t have made it.”

Seeing that she was fine, Shi Man put down the book and handed her the hot water from the bed. “Drink some more. I don’t think you ate much just now. If you feel hungry, you can tell me at any time. I’ll get someone to prepare something.”

“I’m not very hungry yet.” Su Tang had just recovered from her stomachache and did not want to eat yet. When she saw that Shi Man was about to read again, she hurriedly asked anxiously, “Shall I sleep here tonight? Why don’t I stay in the guest room?”

She was worried that a cold person like Shi Man would not like others sleeping in the same bed as her.

“Whatever.” Shi Man took the cup of hot water from her and placed it at the head of the bed. She said indifferently, “If you want to sleep in the guest room, go and tell the servants yourself. There are many rooms in the Shi family. You can sleep anywhere.”

After saying that, she lowered her head to read again without revealing any emotions.

Su Tang did not reply immediately. Instead, she looked up and carefully stole a glance at her expression. After thinking for a moment, she probed, “That’s too troublesome for others. I’ll sleep here tonight.”

“Yes.” Shi Man couldn’t help but smile. She pointed at the closet and said, “The pajamas you wore last time are inside. If you want to shower and change, go get them yourself.”

Just now, Su Tang had sweated a lot because of her stomach pain. Now that she had finally recovered, she felt uncomfortable and wanted to take a good shower.

She nodded slightly. Afraid that she would disturb Shi Man’s reading, she tiptoed out of bed. After opening the cabinet door, she didn’t dare to rummage around. After confirming the location of the pajamas with her eyes, she quietly took them and carried them into the bathroom.

The moment the bathroom door closed gently, Shi Man looked up from her book. She stood up and went out to instruct someone to prepare some hot water to bring in. She also boiled a few bowls worth of porridge and placed them in the pot to heat up.

She was not deliberately forcing Su Tang to sleep in her room, but she was worried that her stomachache would relapse. At that time, with her personality, she would definitely not want to disturb others and would definitely endure the pain until it was eased after prolonged torture.

Since she was the one who brought her home, she could not let Su Tang wait for death in the room. She was just sleeping on the same bed as Su Tang. She was not a clean freak and had no reason to accept it.

Moreover, during practical training, Shi Man realized that Su Tang was obedient and quiet. She would not have any trouble sleeping with Su Tang. Moreover, if she were to fuss over it, Su Tang would have taken care of her more. Now, she was just repaying Su Tang for her usual efforts by taking good care of her when she was sick.

When Su Tang came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, Shi Man had already personally gone to the kitchen to take a look. The hot porridge was almost cooked before she came back and brought Su Tang downstairs to eat.

In terms of food, Shi Mu was definitely not lacking. This guy had long caught a whiff of the fragrance and entered the kitchen. Although he was a little disappointed to see that his sister was not cooking personally, he still took the bowl and chopsticks early and waited to eat with his sister.

However, even if Shi Man did not make this pot of porridge herself, she had actually been supervising the servants from the side. Therefore, the porridge she made still carried some of her skills. It was sweet but not cloying.

Shi He heard the commotion in the kitchen because he had been paying attention to the movements there. When he heard his sister and Su Tang’s voices, he hurriedly opened the door and pretended to be surprised. “I was about to look for you to ask if you wanted dinner. I didn’t expect to meet you here.”

Shi Man stopped in her tracks and looked at him doubtfully. Then, she said with a smile, “We’re about to eat. Do you want to join us, Third Brother?”

“Yes!” Shi He immediately nodded without hesitation. Seeing his sister’s faint smile, he coughed awkwardly and said, “I only had cake for dinner. I’m not too full. I’m hungry now.”

“Then let’s go together.” Shi Man pulled Su Tang downstairs. After walking into the dining room, she immediately saw Shi Mu waiting at the table with bowls and chopsticks. She shook her head helplessly and smiled. “Why? Fourth Brother, you weren’t full at dinner?”

Shi Mu scratched his head foolishly and instructed the servant to quickly scoop the cooked porridge into a bowl. Then, he held Shi Man’s shoulder and asked her to sit down. “Ever since I ate Sister’s cooking last time, I’ve been thinking about that taste. I thought that you were cooking today, so I rushed out to take a look.”

“Manman knows how to cook?” Su Tang looked at Shi Man in surprise and couldn’t help but smile. “I really want to know. Is there anything you can’t do?”
