The CEO's Woman

Chapter 39 The Best Way

The Country's National Exam is a nine-hour exam that will last for two days.

This is one of the most anticipated examinations that will be held annually. This exam is a prerequisite for all higher educational institution in the country. Because of this, immense pressure had become a piece of baggage for both students and teachers alike.

The pressure surrounding this national exam is even enough to make a student commit suicide or fall into depression.

For Jiang Yue, this is exam is not that hard. Aside from the fact that she has extremely high IQ she also remembers some of the questions from her previous life.

That's why Jiang Yue is so confident to make a bet with Fu Jin. Although she did not attend most reviews and practice exams at her school, Jiang Yue is still confident that she will finish this exam with ease.

Of course, fate is a very funny thing. Contrary to Jiang Yue's expectations, most questions had been changed. Still, she was able to finish the exam easily. However, her confidence to beat Fu Jin decreased by ten percent.

After the last day of the exams, Jiang Yue immediately went home to take a rest. She is not feeling well. Both her hard work and stress had taken its toll in her body.

Jiang Yue immediately lay in her bed as her head started to hurt. For some reason, she felt like someone smash something hard into her brain. Shooting pain started to stabbed through her arms and legs as she started coughing. She then pulled the blankets in closer to her neck.

'She must be really sick' She thought before falling into a deep slumber.

....

After the exams, Fu Jin decided to visit Jiang Yue in the Wang Mansion. He couldn't hide his excitement. This is of course because of his bet with his beloved. This is going to be his biggest chance of making Jiang Yue say yes.

For Fu Jin, a lifetime is not even enough to prove to Jiang Yue that he is sincere. And that his feelings are true. He can always do that after Jiang Yue becomes his girl. And even double his efforts after they got married.

The thought of marrying her made Fu Jin more and more enthusiastic. He asked Bei Ye to buy some tulips for Jiang Yue, so he can give it to her. He even bought some of her favorite sweets.

When he arrived at the Wang Estate both Grandpa Wang and Wang Hou is still not around. Even Wang Minghua is currently not in the estate. He asked one of the maids to tell Jiang Yue that he is here to visit. However, the maid informed him that she is not answering her door.

This made Fu Jin a little worried. He knows that Jiang Yue had been working so hard these past few days. He immediately asked the maid to guide him to her room.

This is the first time that Fu Jin will enter a girls bedroom, so he is a little nervous. He decided to take some time before knocking at the door.

After a few knocks, there is still no answer from Jiang Yue. He immediately asked the maid to bring the master key, so they can open the door and check on her.

When the door opened, Fu Jin hastily entered the room and checked her bed. There, he saw the pale Jiang Yue wrapped in a thick blanket. He furrowed his brows trying to calm his worried heart.

He then put his palm into her forehead to feel her temperature. Only to be welcomed by her scorching hot skin.

Fu Jin frowned as he signaled the maid to call a Wang Guiren. He also stepped outside of the room and called a doctor.

When the doctor arrived, Grandpa Wang is already in the Mansion. Both Wang Hou and Wang Minghua are out of the country so only Wang Guiren was able to rush back home.

Tests were immediately performed and after three hours of waiting, the doctor concluded that it was just a simple flu that must have been caused by fatigue.

Before leaving, the doctor gave Jiang Yue some medicines that will aide her cough and fever.

....

When Jiang Yue woke up, it was already dawn. The feeling of fatigue immediately showed its signs. Her head is not that painful anymore but for some reason, she felt like her body had been thrown from the second floor of a building.

She slowly tried to get up but quickly realized that her body seems to have a mind of its own. Disagreeing with her every action. Making her winced not from pain but from too much discomfort.

Before she could lay back into her bed, someone set foot in her room without even knocking. She looked at the young man standing next to the door staring at her, face full of concern.

For some reason, Jiang Yue is not surprised to see that it was Fu Jin.

"Hey," she quickly said trying to ease the weird atmosphere inside the room.

"Hey... I... am... I prepared some Chrysanthemum soup for you."Fu Jin said then he awkwardly walked towards Jiang Yue with a bowl in his hands.

"It's almost morning. Why are you still here?" She asked.

"I was worried you would get hungry when you wake up. So I volunteered to stay."

"I'm surprised grandfather let you inside my room."

"I... No one else can take care of you. Your uncle and Wang Minghua are out of the country. And grandfather is too old to do that so he gave me his permission." Fu Jin explained. Of course, he did not tell her how he refused to leave.

Grandpa Wang even tried to call the guards to intimidate him into leaving but it was useless. Fu Jin just sat beside Jiang Yue without saying anything. The helpless Grandpa Wang had no choice but to let the young man stay while cursing inwardly. This young man is too abnormal ah.

"Hmm... You know how to cook?" She asked convinced by his explanation.

"I just learned. Here, give it a try." Fu Jin then carefully helped Jiang Yue as he put the tray with the soup in Jiang Yue's bed.

Fu Jin was about to feed her when she sent him a glare making him let the spoon go.

She then took one spoonful of the soup and tasted it. "Hmm... this is good." she nodded in approval.

"Why did you learn cooking? You must have a lot of people who can cook in your place." Jiang Yue asked curiously. Then she took another spoonful of the soup. This soup is truly delicious. She is quite impressed by Fu Jin's skills in the kitchen.

"I just learned cooking last week. I learned because I believe that the best way into a woman's heart is through her stomach." He answered seriously.

Jiang Yue didn't know if she wanted to cry or to laugh after she heard his statement. Isn't this Fu Jin a little too... sweet?

"Isn't it supposed to be a man on that saying? The best way into a man's heart is through his stomach?"

"Does that even matter?"
