Chapter 289 Wait until I'm better

His voice and speaking speed were almost normal now, but his voice was still hoarse.

Xiao Ruoyi didn't know how she got there. She collapsed onto the bedside, not daring to lie next to him. She just lay there by the bed and cried loudly.

Except for the first few days after the car accident, Xiao Ruoyi always behaved calmly and appropriately, no matter who she was in front of.

They hadn't even seen her tears.

But in places where no one was around, Xiao Ruoyi had secretly cried countless times.

While Huo Xianyang was fast asleep, she realized that she was actually very vulnerable.

She simply couldn't live without him.

"Yiyi..."

Huo Xianyang's body was not able to recover immediately; his whole body was very stiff.

He thought that even getting up was a problem.

But Xiao Ruoyi was crying, crying right next to him, and he couldn't bear it.

This is the person he cherishes most.

From the conversation with the doctor, he learned that he had been in a coma for several months.

For several months, more than a hundred days, she stayed by herself alone. How scared and painful she must have been.

Huo Xianyang was heartbroken.

His hand touched Xiao Ruoyi's face, and his hand was covered with tears.

He tried to get up, supporting himself on the bed, but he had no strength left in his body.

"Yiyi," his heart was breaking, "Baby, don't cry..."

Xiao Ruoyi grasped his hand and pressed it against her face: "Huo Xianyang, Huo Xianyang..."

"I'm here, I'm here..." Huo Xianyang wiped away her tears: "I won't leave you again, really, I promise you!"

"You bastard..."

Xiao Ruoyi's voice lowered, and she sobbed uncontrollably.

Huo Xianyang managed to turn sideways and hug her, unable to utter a single word. Tears streamed down his face like broken beads, falling onto Xiao Ruoyi's hair.

The two of them cried for an unknown amount of time before being interrupted by their family members who had rushed over after receiving a message from the doctor.

For both the Huo and Xiao families, this was incredibly good news.

Although Xiao Ruoyi gave birth to Huo Xianyang's son, Huo Xianyang can be considered to have an heir in the eyes of the elders.

But Huo Xianyang's vegetative state is truly heartbreaking for them.

His family is overjoyed that he has woken up.

Huo Xianyang had just woken up and was not very energetic. He said a few words and then closed his eyes.

In the end, Xiao Ruoyi drove them all away.

The ward finally quieted down again.

Huo Xianyang then opened his eyes and took her hand again.

Xiao Ruoyi looked at him and said, "Don't touch me, just behave yourself."

"Yiyi, did you expect me to lie here for so long? Were you scared?"

"No way!" Xiao Ruoyi would never admit it: "If you don't wake up soon, I'm going to find a stepfather for Tuantuan."

"How could you bear to do that?" Huo Xianyang knew her sharp tongue but soft heart all too well: "Wife, thank you for taking such good care of me."

"Huo Xianyang, are you stupid? In the future, if you encounter danger, can't you protect yourself first?"

Huo Xianyang looked at her, reluctant to blink: "What kind of man is he if he can't even protect his wife?"

"Yes, you're a real man. Lying in bed for so long, did you want to experience what it's like to be in a vegetative state?"

"I've tried it, it wasn't fun." Huo Xianyang greedily touched her face: "I'll never leave you again, really."

By the time Lin Xiyin and Pei Muye arrived after receiving the call, Xiao Ruoyi had already calmed down.

Huo Xianyang looks no different from before; at least for now, he doesn't seem to have any lasting effects.

He's been inactive for so long, he must have lost weight and his muscles have disappeared. His once broad shoulders and narrow waist are now just skinny.

However, the doctor said that once he wakes up and resumes eating and exercising, he will soon be back to normal.

Pei Muye stayed in the inner room to talk with Huo Xianyang.

Lin Xiyin pulled Xiao Ruoyi out, couldn't help but hug her, and cried again.

Lin Xiyin knew perfectly well what kind of life Xiao Ruoyi was living, what she said, and what she was thinking, even though others didn't know.

She knows Xiao Ruoyi too well.

She even said she wanted to take Tuantuan away and find Tuantuan a stepfather.

It's simply impossible for that to happen.

If anything really happens to Huo Xianyang, Xiao Ruoyi will definitely take care of him for the rest of her life and never leave him.

Even if Huo Xianyang was injured while protecting Xiao Ruoyi, Xiao Ruoyi would never do anything to betray him.

Xiao Ruoyi knew all too well how much she loved Huo Xianyang.

It is precisely because I understand this that I feel sorry for Xiao Ruoyi.

If Huo Xianyang didn't wake up, Lin Xiyin couldn't even imagine what kind of life her best friend would lead.

"It's alright," Xiao Ruoyi patted her back, "Why are you still crying? How silly. Even if he doesn't wake up, what difference will it make..."

"Stop talking!" Lin Xiyin pushed her away, sniffing, "You're just being stubborn!"

"Alright, alright," Xiao Ruoyi flicked her nose, "Isn't everyone happy now?"

As the two were talking, there was a noise at the door. They looked over together, and Lin Xiyin was stunned.

Xiao Ruoyi was also taken aback: "Why are you here? Weren't you abroad?"

Despite his travel-worn appearance, Chi Tianlin remained tall and handsome.

His gaze initially fell on Lin Xiyin, but he quickly looked at Xiao Ruoyi: "I just got off the plane and received a call from my mother saying that he had woken up."

"Yes, she just woke up not long ago," Xiao Ruoyi said. "Let's go in and take a look."

Chi Tianlin nodded, then looked at Lin Xiyin: "You're here too."

Lin Xiyin's eyes were still red, but the corners of her lips curled up: "I just arrived too. Come on in!"

Chi Tianlin strode inside, with Xiao Ruoyi and Lin Xiyin following behind him.

Pei Muye was talking to Huo Xianyang and was about to leave, since Huo Xianyang had just woken up and needed to rest more.

When he looked up, he saw Chi Tianlin.

These two were mortal enemies to begin with. Although their relationship improved somewhat later, Pei Muyi knew that Chi Tianlin liked Lin Xiyin, so he definitely had a grudge in his heart.

Now, seeing Chi Tianlin and Lin Xiyin behind him, his eyes showed a hint of displeasure.

"woke up?"

Chi Tianlin didn't look at Pei Muye; his gaze fell directly on Huo Xianyang.

Huo Xianyang smiled.

His body language and facial expression control have basically recovered by now.

He said, "Does this mean that surviving a great calamity is sure to bring good fortune?"

Chi Tianlin said, "You should be glad you didn't die, otherwise your wife and children would have been taken by some other stinky man."

The two are blood brothers who grew up together. Although Chi Tianlin is sharp-tongued and a scoundrel, their good relationship is widely acknowledged.

Huo Xianyang said, "That's why I can't bear to die. Did you fly back from abroad? Or did you come back a while ago?"

Huo Xianyang didn't know if Chi Tianlin had returned from abroad while he was unconscious.

Chi Tianlin said, "I also decided to come back yesterday on short notice. I didn't expect that as soon as I arrived at the airport, my mother called me crying and said that I was awake."

"Then you should go back and rest. Long flights are tiring. I'm fine, so don't stay here."

Pei Muye said, "Yes, get more rest."

Chi Tianlin then looked at him and said, "Long time no see."

Pei Muye thought to himself, "Is this how we greet each other?"

haven't seen you for a long time?

I wouldn't regret never seeing you again in my lifetime.

He smiled and said, "It has been a long time. How has Mr. Chi been lately?"

"That's good," Chi Tianlin said. "Thank you for your concern, President Pei."

The way the two people were talking felt off; it sounded sarcastic and veiled.

Lin Xiyin walked over to Pei Muye and tugged at him.

Xiao Ruoyi said, "Let's all go, let's all go. The doctor also said that he should rest more. He just woke up, and his body can't take any more exertion."

"I'm relieved to see you're awake," Chi Tianlin said. "Then I'll go first."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Lin Xiyin and said, "Ruanruan, let's have a meal together sometime. I've been in China for the past few days."

Lin Xiyin said, "Okay."

"Bring Yoyo along, I miss my godson."

Lin Xiyin said again, "Okay."

Pei Muyi put his arm around Lin Xiyin's shoulder and said, "I have some good news that I haven't told President Chi yet. Youyou is going to have a little sister soon."

Chi Tianlin quickly glanced at Lin Xiyin's stomach.

Lin Xiyin nudged Pei Muyi before saying, "It's still early in the pregnancy, we don't know if it's a girl or a boy."

Chi Tianlin looked at her and said, "Congratulations."

Huo Xianyang also said, "Really? That's great! If it's a daughter, we'll arrange a marriage between our children."

"Say less." Xiao Ruoyi walked to the bedside and looked at the other three: "Alright, you can go now."

The three of them left together.

Only Xiao Ruoyi and Huo Xianyang remained in the suite.

"Are you tired?" Xiao Ruoyi took the cushion from behind him: "Go to sleep for a while."

Huo Xianyang looked at her, reluctant to blink: "Aren't you sleepy yet? You've slept for so long, you don't want to sleep anymore."

"Are you being disobedient?"

"Listen," Huo Xianyang said, "but you have to promise me one thing."

"Why are you so talkative?" Xiao Ruoyi rolled her eyes at him. "What is it?"

"You're not allowed to get this thin again." Huo Xianyang grabbed her hand. "How did you get so thin?"

"You look better when you're thin."

"No!" Huo Xianyang was heartbroken. "What's so good about it?"

Xiao Ruoyi said, "Why don't you take a look at yourself first! You're so ugly!"

“Then let’s gain weight together,” Huo Xianyang said. “I want to brush my teeth.”

"I already checked this morning, it's still early."

I want to kiss you.

Xiao Ruoyi looked down at him.

Huo Xianyang couldn't help but touch his chin: "Is it ugly?"

Xiao Ruoyi turned her face away, unable to hold back her tears again.

Huo Xianyang struggled to sit up, reached out, and pulled the person into his arms.

"Okay, okay, no kissing, wait until I'm better..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Ruoyi turned her head and kissed his lips.

At first, the two simply touched lips to lips, feeling the warmth of each other's lips.

Xiao Ruoyi felt his tears, which clung to their cheeks and flowed onto her face.

Her nimble tongue slipped between his teeth.

Huo Xianyang's breath hitched.

Then he grabbed the back of her head, took the initiative, and kissed her.

But soon, Xiao Ruoyi pushed him away.

Huo Xianyang had obvious bruises on his chest.

Xiao Ruoyi pushed him to lie down: "Don't be so brave. If you faint again, I'll be a sinner."

Huo Xianyang genuinely felt overwhelmed.

Unexpectedly, when he woke up again, he was almost like Lin Daiyu.

"Wait until I'm better..."

His eyes were filled with naked desire.

Xiao Ruoyi said disdainfully, "Let's talk about it when you can stand up!"
