After so much sweating, if she didn't clean up properly, with Ruan Jiaojiao's weak constitution she was very susceptible to getting a fever.
Ruan Jiaojiao actually hadn't fallen asleep; she simply couldn't sleep at all now, with her mind fully occupied by the dream she just had. She hoped that she had seen it wrong, misunderstood it, and did not want it to be the original Ruan Jiaojiao.
If that were the case...
Ruan Jiaojiao's gaze darkened, and she took the opportunity when the Ruanlin Family was turning her over to clean her body to wrap her small hand around her neck and mumbled in a tiny voice, "Nanny, Jiaojiao will protect you."
The Ruanlin Family was surprised and paused, looking down at the darling in her arms; seeing her squinting with deep sleep, she shook her head helplessly and continued with what she was doing.
