Chapter 268 - 268: He Agreed
Huo Qingxiao arranged for Lin Wanli to stay in a doctor’s room. There was a bathroom, and the soundproofing was good. He also asked the female doctor to prepare a change of clothes for Lin Wanli.
At this moment, Lin Wanli was holding a small medicine bottle in her hand. Inside was the thing that she had asked Huo Qingxiao’s side to prepare.
Lin Wanli pinched the medicine bottle, looking a little hesitant.
As for Huo Qingxiao, the virus was developing very quickly, and his symptoms did not seem to have lessened. There were also a few more doctors in the quarantine room, and they were constantly monitoring Huo Qingxiao’s vital signs.
Huo Jiuxiao was wearing a sterile gown and standing inside with his arms crossed.
The assistant was about to go crazy, but he was completely indifferent.
At this time, the assistant couldn’t help it anymore. He walked up to Huo Jiuxiao and said, “Young Master, regarding that matter from many years ago… there was a misunderstanding.”
“Do you think I care?” Huo Jiuxiao asked.
The other party wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, he decided not to speak anymore.
Back then, Huo Jiuxiao was young and didn’t understand his parents’ arguments, nor did he understand his mother’s hysteria. He only knew that in the second year of his birth, the two illegitimate children were born one after another. No matter what the reason was, some things had changed. Later, his mother went crazy and passed away. He had a car accident and was separated from Huo Qingxiao for ten years.
Now, he could read minds and see into Huo Qingxiao’s heart, but so what?
Wasn’t his betrayal a fact? Was the ten years after his car accident, the many life-and-death situations that he had experienced, all fake?
“Jiuxiao… Jiuxiao!” Huo Qingxiao called out to Huo Jiuxiao weakly, “I know… I know you hate me, but this might be… might be my last wish, I hope you… will marry Lin Wanli. And only Lin Wanli. Can’t you promise me that?”
“I can’t.” Huo Jiuxiao still refused. He said, “Don’t try to threaten me with death. I won’t fall for it.’
“Don’t tell me you want your future… to be like your mother? Aren’t you afraid that others will lay their hands on the person you love?”
“You don’t deserve to mention my mother.” Huo Jiuxiao left the quarantine zone as soon as he finished speaking. It seemed like he really didn’t care about Huo Qingxiao’s life or death.
“Chairman, you need to rest now!” The doctor panicked and quickly pressed Huo Qingxiao back down.
Immediately after, there was a chaotic and urgent rescue inside.
Huo Jiuxiao stood outside the glass door, looking at the situation inside with his arms crossed.
Everyone cooperated with Huo Qingxiao’s acting, but Huo Qingxiao’s assistant felt that Huo Jiuxiao was watching a show. If he didn’t hate Huo Qingxiao to the core and wanted him dead, then he knew from the beginning that this was a live drama.
Not far away, Lin Wanli walked to Huo Jiuxiao worriedly. She looked at him and seemed to have mustered up a lot of courage to speak to Huo Jiuxiao. She asked, “Master Xiao, can we talk in private?”
“There’s nothing much to say.”
“If you want to leave.”
Huo Jiuxiao looked at Lin Wanli impatiently and threatened, “If we weren’t in
Africa, you would be in the sewers.”
Lin Wanli turned around and brought Huo Jiuxiao to the lounge that Huo Qingxiao had prepared for her. After the door closed, Huo Jiuxiao took the medicine bottle from Lin Wanli’s hands and threw the pills into the bathroom. Then, he carried Lin Wanli to the bed.
[Even if you don’t throw it away, I won’t let you eat it. It’s bad for your health.]
Huo Jiuxiao took off his shirt, revealing his abs and chest muscles. Then, he quickly took a shower and pressed them back down. He reached out and ruffled Lin Wanli’s hair. Then, he whispered into her ear, “In order to make the act look realistic, I might hurt you a little. But it’s just to scare people. It won’t hurt too much.”
[Hubby, the hurt must be real. You don’t have to feel sorry for me. Let me feel your presence.]
She was always like this. She was clearly saying the most ordinary words, but it made his heart surge and he could not control himself at all.
Then, in the room that was not very spacious, their voices sounded like the song of an eagle. They rose and fell, causing the doctors who occasionally passed by to blush.
As for the resuscitation room, Huo Qingxiao’s condition stabilized a few hours later. His fever had just subsided, but other symptoms were still present.
The assistant stood at the side and finally heaved a sigh of relief, “Chairman, Lin Wanli has succeeded. Actually, you don’t have to take the risk and put pressure on her.”
“If I didn’t disturb his mind, how could Lin Wanli have a chance?” Huo Qingxiao said, “That child only looks calm. As long as his mother is mentioned, his emotions will definitely fluctuate. I also threatened to deal with the person he likes. This lowered his guard and gave Lin Wanli an opportunity.”
“But, wouldn’t Eldest Young Master hate you and Lin Wanli even more like this?”
“So, we’ll have to see how Lin Wanli will perform next.”
Huo Qingxiao lay down to rest. After a few days, he had reached his limit.
As for the two people in the resting room, they were completely unrestrained from day to night. It was as if they were going to enjoy the rest of their lives this time.
Huo Jiuxiao felt as if his little sweet wife had a curse on her as if no matter how loving she was, it would not be cured. At this moment, the two of them had just stopped wrestling and rested. Huo Jiuxiao was carrying Lin Wanli. He looked at the handprint on her shoulder and felt a little heartache. He murmured, “1 used too much strength.”
[It’s just right. But, Master, if we move to Jinzhou, what will happen to
Youran?]
Huo Jiuxiao kissed the top of her head and replied, “I’ll take care of everything. You just have to come to my side without any scruples. Does your body hurt anywhere? Do you want me to rub it?”
As he spoke, Huo Jiuxiao was about to extend his hand, but Lin Wanli stopped him.
[Just hug me.]
Separation and reunion were too much like a dream.
Lin Wanli was afraid that everything was fake.
Huo Jiuxiao hugged her tightly. Their bodies were not even separated. They were just waiting for daybreak before they started acting again.
In the wee hours of the morning, Huo Jiuxiao opened the door of the lounge roughly. When he left, there were obvious scratch marks on his neck.
A few minutes later, Lin Wanli walked out in a plain dress with a bruise on her face. After changing into a sterile suit, she entered the quarantine area and met Huo Qingxiao.
“He agreed.” Lin Wanli said weakly.
“Will he give in because of this?” Huo Qingxiao obviously didn’t believe her.
Lin Wanli shook her head. She replied, “Because I promised him that we would each take what we need. I will protect the person he loves, and he will be my husband in name.”
“Just as you said, if it’s not me, there will be someone else, but only I have the ability to protect the person in his heart.”
After she finished speaking, Lin Wanli collapsed to the ground.
After the doctor treated her, he let Lin Wanli rest in bed.
Huo Qingxiao knew that Huo Jiuxiao was ruthless, but he didn’t expect him to torture Lin Wanli so badly.
Compared to the medicinal effects, this was clearly anger and venting.
But Lin Wanli was even more ruthless. Of course, this was also what Huo Qingxiao admired about her.
Only such a person could become Huo Jiuxiao’s most valuable asset if he entered the Huo family..
