BXBX NOVEL Chapter 261: 261, very good at climbing walls
Huo Jingshen felt a throbbing in his temples and after several unsuccessful attempts to quell Wanwan’s chaos, his face darkened, threatening sternly, “If you continue to cause a commotion, I’m going to spank you!”
Su Wanwan immediately quieted down as if genuinely frightened.
A sigh of relief escaped from Huo Jingshen’s heart, his expression quite satisfied.
Indeed, she was still most afraid of this move.
But who knew, in the next second-
“Whaaa, you’re bullying me… you always bully me whaaa…”
Su Wanwan broke down crying.
Perhaps due to the alcohol, her sobs were wrenching, tears and snot streaming down her face, making her a picture of utter misery.
Huo Jingshen sat there, allowing her to cry for what seemed like ages. When her crying finally died down, he found his voice, sternly questioning, “Why did you run home without a word? And why are you getting drunk here, turning the place upside down, and even ignoring your phone? Do you think that’s acceptable behavior?”
Su Wanwan’s eyes were red and swollen, and she hiccupped a few times, making no reply.
Huo Jingshen continued to lecture, “Do you know how worried grandma is about you? You’re already twenty years old, can’t you at least understand how to behave?…”
Despite his nagging, Su Wanwan failed to respond.
Glancing up, he realized she’d closed her eyes as if she’d already fallen asleep.
Obviously, all the words he’d said had fallen on deaf ears.
After a while, resigning himself, Huo Jingshen sat down beside her, picking up the medical kit to tend to her wounds.
They were mostly superficial wounds, but there was a particularly severe one on her right leg. A long gash stretched from her kneecap down to her calf, trickling with blood.
The sting from the alcohol disinfectant caused Su Wanwan to cry out in pain, “Ouch…”
Huo Jingshen stopped his movements, waited for her furrowed brows to relax, and then softly asked, “How did you injure your leg?”
With her eyes still closed, Su Wanwan began to answer, “No keys… hie… I… I climbed over the wall…”
Huo Jingshen:” ”
A truly capable wife.
She can even climb walls!
She’s very good at it!
Under the warm lamp light, the tall and handsome man sighed softly, continuing to earnestly and meticulously tend to his wife’s wound.

The next morning arrived.
The bedroom remained dark behind the heavy curtains, but Su Wanwan had been jolted awake by a throbbing pain.
Her head hurt so much!
It felt as if it was going to split apart!
It had been quite some time since she last drank so much alcohol.
She was so angry last night and had nowhere to vent. The only thing she had on her was her cell phone, so after getting a cab back home, she rummaged through the kitchen and found all the bottles of alcohol Huo Jingshen had stashed away and drank them all.
She reached out a hand to hold her throbbing head, but found herself unable to move.
Huo Jingshen was sleeping beside her and she’d been changed into her pajamas.
Recalling the incident from the birthday banquet last night, she felt a surge of anger and raised her foot to kick him.
Originally, she wanted to kick him out of the bed, but who knew-
After a resounding “thump”, Su Wanwan let out a scream.
Huo Jingshen woke up abruptly, turning on the bedside lamp.
The room was instantly flooded with light.
Su Wanwan, wearing her pink bear patterned nightgown, was sprawled clumsily on the carpet, her mouth humming in discomfort.
Huo Jingshen couldn’t help but be amused and yet felt pity for her, quickly getting out of bed to help the disheveled girl back up.
Indeed, there was an evident red and swollen patch on her forehead which appeared to have hit the coffee table.
Even sleeping could result in her falling to the floor. Was she a three-year-old kid?
Huo Jingshen was truly rendered speechless.
“Instead of sleeping peacefully, what are you up to so early in the morning?”
My head hurts,” Su Wanwan said, her eyes closed, her brain feeling fuzzy from the fall.
“Where does it hurt?” Almost instinctively, Huo Jingshen asked.
“It hurts… it hurts so much…” Su Wanwan dragged out her words, whimpering weakly.
Huo Jingshen’s heart softened. He lifted her up, rubbing gently at the swollen spot on her forehead.
Thankfully, the skin wasn’t broken.
Just as he was about to leave, Su Wanwan grabbed his hand, placing it on her temple, “It hurts here.”
Huo Jingshen looked down at her.
He had cleaned and treated her wounds before bed, and had even washed her face. Now, refreshed and wearing her pink pajamas, her pretty face appeared rosy from sleep. Her beautiful eyes were tightly shut, her long eyelashes curving upwards, laden with a thin layer of moisture…
“Drink so much wine, and you deserve the pain!” Huo Jingshen rebuked, but his hand was already massaging her temple.
Su Wanwan snapped back, “It’s your fault for lying to me!”
“When did I ever lie to you?”
“I heard everything!” Su Wanwan’s voice trembled with grievance, “You lied to me… told me she was just a friend of yours. You told me she was already married. But actually, you were childhood sweethearts and now she’s divorced and back to get you, hmph!”
Huo Jingshen:” ”
His first thought was, how did she learn about this?
Seeing him silent, seemingly “admitting” to it, Su Wanwan fiercely pushed him away, “Liar, cheater! Don’t touch me!”
Huo Jingshen had just grabbed her hand when she kicked at him again, managing to land several blows in a matter of moments.
While kicking, she continued to yell, “Liar! You’re a liar! You’re a heartless bastard! Hie… an absolute jerk!”
After enduring her repeated blows and verbal abuse, Huo Jingshen began to lose patience, his deep voice filled with a dangerous warning, “Are you itching for a beating?”
Su Wenwen thrashed about, screaming hysterically, “Heartless bastard, don’t touch me!”
Huo Jingshen halted his movements, “Say that one more time.”
Su Wanwan glared at him defiantly with her beautiful eyes, and then repeated, “Heartless bastard, don’t touch me!”
