Contrary to her awkwardness and unease, Huo Jingshen straightened up, standing elegantly, with both hands slowly inserted into his suit pants’ pockets. He appeared relaxed and at ease with a slight smirk on his lips, calm… as if the man from just a moment ago was not him at all.
He nodded slightly at everyone, his tone surprisingly composed, “Wanwan is okay now. Grandfather doesn’t need to worry.”
Jiang Yi smiled, “Glad to hear she’s okay.”
Then, no one spoke.
Since they didn’t know each other well and had broken in on them, Su Wanwan kept her head low and didn’t say anything. The atmosphere of the hospital room… was a bit awkward.
Only Qiao Zixin felt an overwhelming anxiety.
When she had walked in, Huo Jingshen had been leaning over the bed, in a pose… that looked like he was about to devour Su Wanwan.
Holding her hands tightly together, it felt as though countless ants were crawling inside her- – her jealousy reaching a fever pitch.
Why did she have the illusion that the relationship between Huo Jingshen and Su Wanwan was improving?
No!
This can’t be happening!
“Mr. Huo,” Qiao Zixin suddenly blurted.
Huo Jingshen’s eyebrows twitched as Su Yunrong also jumped in surprise.
With a smile, Qiao Zixin said, “The villa park press conference is coming up. Do you have any thoughts on the amendment plan we submitted last time? I happen to be here today, so if you have any comments, I can take them back and give them to the director.”
“Not for now.”
Qiao Zixin chuckled awkwardly, managing to say, “Alright, thank you, Mr. Huo.”
Thankfully, Su Yunrong spoke up, “Zixin, does your company now cooperate with Huo Yuan?”
“Yes.” Qiao Zixin spoke confidently, her words laced with the pride she couldn’t hide, “My current company specializes in event operation planning. We’ve been cooperating with Huangyou for many years. Huangyou and Huo Yuan recently collaborated on a villa park completion project, and they entrusted our company with the press conference.”
Su Yunrong nodded again and again.
This daughter of hers, she had always thought of her as a slacker, no ambition in life, always only interested in dating. Yet she was so choosy, swapping boyfriends one after another, even now at 25, she still couldn’t settle down.
Unexpectedly, she suddenly had a change of heart a while ago. After quitting the small magazine company, she switched to this new company, showing real dedication to her work. Furthermore, she was collaborating with a big firm like Huo Yuan’s, she was genuinely surprised and relieved.
When his mobile phone suddenly rang, Huo Jingshen picked it up, “Excuse me, I need to take this call.”
Qiao Zixin’s gaze followed him the entire time.
He must have come straight from his company, dressed in a well ironed three- piece suit, although his tie was loosened, and the collar of his white shirt slightly undone.
When he was on the phone, his Adam’s apple moved slightly, radiating the unique sex appeal of a mature man.
Tall, long-legged, straight back, every part of him was impeccable.
His unapproachable and noble temperament was enough to make any woman fall for him in an instant.
Such a perfect man, just looking at him, made her heart flutter uncontrollably.
She had to find a way to win him over!
She must!

On the balcony, Chu Xiuhuang’s nonchalant voice could be heard, “Which room?”
Huo Jingshen frowned, “What for?”
“The mistress said that your niece is in the hospital. I bought some fruits, flowers, and other gifts…”
“No need for you to come.” Huo Jingshen cut him off, “Just send the stuff.” “Damn, I didn’t say I wanted to go. What’s with your tone?” ChuXiuhuang clicked his tongue, “My secretary will send it over later. Look at you, old men just don’t know how to cherish a woman. The little girl was distressed to the point of being hospitalized, you’re a big man, she can’t take that. You have to go slow, and prepare…”
Huo Jingshen ended the call abruptly.
What an earful!
Upon returning to the ward, the three of them were still sitting there.
As for Su Wanwan, she had been looking down at her phone the whole time, evidently not wanting to interact.
Huo Jingshen glanced at her, his lips parting, “I’m sorry, Wanwan was shocked and needs to rest more.”
“Oh.” Su Yunrong rose hastily, “Then we won’t disturb her anymore. Wanwan, rest well. Zixin, let’s go.”
Qiao Zixin left reluctantly.
With the room free from distractions, Huo Jingshen closed the door. His deep, mature, and gentle voice asked, “What fruit do you want to eat?”
But Su Wanwan asked him instead, “Did our squad leader just call? Did you ask for my leave?”
“Yes.”
Thoughts put to ease, Su Wanwan asked again, “When can I be discharged?”
“We’ll run another checkup in a bit.” Huo Jingshen picked up the fruit and a knife and began to skillfully peel the fruit.
“What kind of checkup?”
“Brain CT.”
Su Wanwan:
She merely fainted from fright at the sight of a dog; was there really a need to examine her brain?
Then.
“Dumb as a rock, if you’re that afraid of dogs, why stir up KO?” Huo Jingshen felt there was a real need to scan her brain.
Had she become waterlogged?
Or had she become stupid from reading too much recently?
Hearing his tone made Su Wanwan angry, and she blurted out, “It’s all your fault! Who asked you to give that stick to KO!”
Stick?
Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow, understanding instantly, “So, you wanted to… get rid of the evidence?”
Su Wanwan:
“Are you an idiot?” Huo Jingshen glanced disdainfully, his tone mocking, “Just for the sake of face, you would risk your life? If Aunt Han hadn’t been home, do you know how dangerous what you did was? Can’t you stop being so impulsive? Huh?”
Su Wanwan looked at him, and suddenly, her lips turned down, and her eyes reddened.
Before Huo Jingshen could react…
“You just know how to bully me! I’m hospitalized now and you’re still scolding me! All you think about all day is… if it weren’t for you, would I be this embarrassed? You also said, you…”
She suddenly laid down, grabbed the quilt, and covered her entire body.
Huo Jingshen: “…”
He looked at the young girl who had wrapped herself like a dumpling and froze for a solid five seconds.
Then, he walked over.
He had barely pulled at it.
Su Wanwan kicked and punched from under the covers, making the hospital bed clatter.
Huo Jingshen:”…”
Then, with a hard pull, he managed to lift the blanket.
Only to see Su Wanwan looking at him through teary eyes, all her delicate features scrunched together, her eyes red and swollen, biting her lip as if on the verge of crying, looking utterly wronged.
Huo Jingshen felt as if a piece of his heart collapsed on the spot.
He immediately reached out to hold her.
Su Wanwan, feeling wronged and angry, struggled, but was still held in his arms.
Then, Huo Jingshen held her, whispering softly, “I love you, and as for other women, even if they stood in front of me, I wouldn’t spare them a glance. I just don’t take a liking to any of them.”
Su Wanwan:
God!
Even when sweet-talking, he sounded so high and mighty, pompous and haughty?
What kind of man had she married?
Did he deliberately try to annoy her?
“We’ll stew KO once we get home!” Huo Jingshen added another sentence.
The wolf dog luxuriously basking in the sun in its grand doghouse at the Imperial Court Villa suddenly trembled.
Something’s wrong!
In the patient’s room, Su Wanwan glared at him, “Stew it? Do you have the heart to do that?”
“Ido.” Huo Jingshen replied without batting an eyelid.
At this moment, even if Su Wanwan wanted the moon in the sky, he would find a way to give it to her.
As long as she wasn’t crying.
This young girl was usually so lively and aggressive, like a wild cat.
But now, her eyes filled with tears, her eyelashes wet. The sight melted his heart.
Huo Jingshen said, “It bullied you.”
“Nonsense!” Su Wanwan didn’t believe him, “The doghouse you built for it is bigger than my room! You prefer the dog over people!”
“Nonsense! No matter how big the doghouse is, it’s still a doghouse. Even if the dog is excellent, it is just a pet.” Huo Jingshen stroked her head like pacifying a child, “But my love, you’re different, I’m all yours…”
“You only give me a little pocket money every month! I’ve had a driver’s license for along time! You won’t even let me drive! You’re so close to other women, do you not realize you’re a married man? Don’t you know what an affair is?
Whenever there’s trouble, all you do is lie and deceive me, bully me all the time, this is not allowed, that’s not allowed, have you ever considered how I feel?”
With new grievances piling on top of old grudges, Su Wanwan veered off topic the more she spoke. In the end, she fiercely pushed him away and declared, “If you continue to bully me like this, I’ll divorce you!”
