Chapter 400: Missing Him So Badly

He covered her with a blanket. After her body was sweating all over, her fever began to recede quickly.

He got a bowl of hot water, dipped a towel into it and wrung it out before using it to wipe the sweat off her body. Once she was clean, he helped her change into a clean set of clothes.

Xu Xiyan no longer had a high fever, finally falling asleep quietly. Huo Yunshen held her hand as he silently stayed by her side.

He knew what he was doing was wrong and that he had to let her go eventually. For now, however, he chose to look away from the truth by telling himself: just a little longer, just one more minute...

He watched over her for the whole night. When it was close to dawn, he left her apartment reluctantly.

The sky had turned bright outside. Xu Xiyan woke up and her head was no longer aching. Her mind was a lot less foggy now and her body no longer ached as much. Other than a stuffy nose, the other symptoms of her cold had been alleviated.

She sat up and noticed that she was wearing her pajamas. If she remembered correctly, she didn’t seem to have taken a bath changed clothes yesterday.

So how had she changed into her pajamas?

She turned around and saw a box of cold medicine on the bedside table.

Xu Xiyan picked up the medicine box and examined it. This medicine... looked a lot like the one she had bought for Huo Yunshen when he had been seriously ill.

A thought occurred to her. Xu Xiyan rushed out of her bed and ran out of the bedroom barefooted, in too much of a hurry to put on her shoes.

“Mr. Huo... Mr. Huo...”

She searched the whole room but he was nowhere to be found. She went through the crystal closet door to his apartment, but still didn’t see anyone.

Xu Xiyan sighed. She was missing him so badly now that she was beginning to hallucinate and lose her mind.

...

In the next few days, Xu Xiyan went to the set for her shoot during the daytime. After that, she went to the hospital to visit her grandfather.

In the hospital, Xu Xiyan bumped into Xu Jinshan and Su Rui. Xu Jinshan still had an arm-sling around his neck. Su Rui’s injuries, on the other hand, were not as serious; she was accompanying her husband to the x-ray room.

When they came face-to-face with Xu Xiyan, Xu Jinshan and Su Rui almost jumped out of their skin. They could not help but take a few steps back, fear showing in their eyes.

Xu Xiyan laughed, “Why, if it isn’t Director Xu and Mrs. Xu! You both seem to be recovering very nicely! How about another three hundred rounds of sparring with me?”

Xu Jinshan: “...”

Su Rui: “...”

Another three hundred rounds? Wouldn’t that be literally asking for their lives?

Xu Jinshan and his wife were too terrified to talk to Xu Xiyan. The two dodged her as though she was the plague, and hurriedly fled through the side exit.

As they fled, Su Rui couldn’t resist scolding her husband. “Why are you so afraid of her? Can’t you assert your dominance? Didn’t you use to beat her up until she was begging for mercy?”

“What the hell do you know about anything? That girl is not the same girl as before. She is stronger now, and the less we get on her nerves, the better.”

Xu Jinshan had not forgotten what Xu Xiyan had warned him about when she’d beaten him up that day.

That brat had been planning all this while to get back at him. She had waited for this day to avenge herself.

He had not seen this coming. He had always considered Xu Xiyan to be beneath him, but now she had turned the tables on him.

He could no longer beat Xu Xiyan like he used to. Xu Xiyan was now too powerful; she could beat him to a bloody pulp anytime she liked.

“You’re such a coward,” Su Rui said disdainfully.

Xu Jinshan would rather be a coward than be beaten to death. He shot back: “If you are not afraid of her, go find her yourself!”

“...”

I was also beaten half to death that day, okay?

Su Rui let out a sigh. “You’re hopeless. We can only rely on our daughter now.”

Xu Jinshan had already contacted Huo Jingtang. Tonight, he would see whether his daughter, Xu Xinrou, would be successful in seducing Huo Jingtang.

In the evening, at a five-star hotel, Huo Jingtang arrived as scheduled.
