Julian’s Stand-In Wife

Julian’s Stand-In Wife By South Wind Dialect Chapter 16

When Julian touched Diana, she felt a little hot.

Julian instructed the maids to leave, and then personally got a pot of freshly boiled hot water. He soaked some towels in it.

The water was scalding hot. When he placed his hands in it, he wanted to jump a few times from the sheer heat. He swirled the towels around the water, let it soak again, and then fished them out with great difficulty. After that, he squeezed the water out of them.

His hands quickly turned red.

Yet, he still insisted on wiping Diana over and over again.

“Why aren’t you feeling well today? Why didn’t you cook congee for Noel and the rest?”

“Hmph! You’re not going to make congee for me to nourish my stomach anymore, are you? You even spent so much money to buy an entire boutique yesterday. Do you think I won’t know about it?”

“You heartless little thing!”

So noisy…

To Diana, it seemed there was a fly buzzing incessantly beside her ears. She wanted to raise her hand to swat it away, but she didn’t have any strength in her body. She could only keep wriggling on her bed as a way to express her dissatisfaction.

“Be obedient!” Julian was frightened by her back-and-forth movements. He was afraid she would feel the freezing wind if her blanket fell off, as that would only worsen her cold.

Alas, she could not hear what he was saying.

Diana continued writhing as she hummed something.

Her jet-black hair spread out on the royal blue sheets, reflecting her skin that was as fair and white as snow. Her small red face was like a full red peach at this moment.

How much did he love her to have such a physical reaction to her?

Julian glanced at his hands, which were red and burned, and then threw the towels away before placing his hands inside Diana’s blanket. He found her buttocks and slapped her hard. “This is punishment for your disobedience!”

The trick really worked.

Diana stopped moving and stopped humming. She continued to lie there quietly, like a child who had just been reprimanded.

When Julian saw that Diana could no longer seduce him, he got satisfied and slowly wiped her body for a few more rounds. He could feel her body temperature gradually dropping.

He was no longer worried, and sat by the side of the bed intently as he waited for Vans to arrive.

“She must’ve caught a cold when she went through all the trouble to accompany Nina to the hospital last night,” Vans said to Julian after checking Diana’s body. “But you took good care of her and her fever’s slowly going away, so there’s no need for her to take any medication.” He took a box of cotton swabs and threw it at Julian. “Remember to use this to dip her lips more often to prevent them from getting chapped.”

“Don’t you need to draw her blood for a test?”
