Chapter 196: That secret, are you willing to listen?

In the pouring rain.

Every raindrop fell so fiercely and forcefully that it seemed to smash through the ground.

Young Mu Yuan's body was shaking like a sieve.

Her legs felt weak as she stared ahead at the huge truck moving so fast it looked like it was going to run over her in the next second.

At the critical moment.

She just felt like the world was turning upside down.

The whole person rolled on the ground several times.

My eyes were wet from the rain and mud, and they felt stinging and painful, and I couldn't see anything clearly.

But the ears.

But I could clearly hear the sharp sound of brakes and the sound of flesh colliding suddenly.

She panicked and wiped away the mud with the back of her hand.

But he was so shocked by the scene before him that he was speechless.

The brother A Yao, who was one year older than her and had quietly climbed up the window after her father beat and insulted her, called her out with a cat's meow, stuffed biscuits into her stomach and patted her head to comfort her when she cried miserably, was now lying lifeless in a pool of blood.

Heavy rain lashed down on him.

She seemed to have suddenly become mute, unable to utter a word. She could only scream and rush forward, shaking Brother A Yao's body frantically.

But that brother Ayao who always smiles gently.

For the first time, I didn't get up. I touched her head and comforted her: "Yuanyuan, don't cry. Brother has brought you some biscuits."

"Yuanyuan! Yuanyuan!"

The urgent low-pitched voice woke her up from her bloody dream.

Mu Yuan opened her eyes, her face wet with tears.

Beside the bed, anxiety crept into Huo Min's deep brows, and worry penetrated into his ink-black eyes.

Seeing that she was awake, he quickly covered her and gently stroked her soft black hair that was matted to her face due to sweat. His voice was low and gentle: "Yuanyuan, are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"

The feeling of being gently stroked on the head.

Just like in a dream.

She was too mentally weak to distinguish between reality and dreams.

Huo Min gently wiped away the tears on her face with a tissue. He kept soothing her with his movements and voice, "Tired, aren't you? Can you get some more sleep?"

Mu Yuan met his gentle eyes that almost seemed to wade out of the water.

There is no disgust or disdain as imagined.

Mu Yuan's eyes shook and her nose suddenly felt sore.

Her slender arms wrapped around the back of his neck, and she buried herself in his shoulders despite her panic.

Her voice was trembling and filled with tears: "I am not a murderer."

Huo Min's jaw was taut as a line, his brows filled with a chilling look.

But the strength with which he held her and the movement of touching the back of her head were as gentle as a spring breeze.

"I know, our Yuanyuan is not a murderer."

Huo Min's face was tense and full of heartache.

Just now, Mu Yuan cried in her dream: "Brother Yao, please don't die."

Suddenly, he realized that he had been jealous of A Yao for many years.

In fact, he is no longer alive.

When I think of how he always got jealous of A Yao, bullied her and hurt her.

Without her knowledge, you opened her wounds and rubbed salt on them.

Huo Min regretted it so much that he wanted to slap himself.

What the hell had he done?

Suddenly, there were hurried footsteps outside.

Immediately.

The person in his arms fell into panic again, and the trembling that had finally stopped resumed.

Huo Min glanced towards the door with cold eyes.

It’s Zhou Mi.

He ran up to report about Su Ruoyun.

But as soon as you step through the door.

When meeting Huo Min's gloomy and cold gaze.

Secretary Zhou was frightened.

He glanced at Mu Yuan, who had just woken up and was curled up in Huo Min's arms, clearly not in a good state, and muttered, "Huo, Mr. Huo, could you please come out for a moment?"

Huo Min said solemnly: "Go down and wait for me."

Secretary Zhou immediately said: "Oh, okay."

As he withdrew, he secretly checked Mu Yuan's condition.

However, he soon noticed the cold and warning look in Huo Min's eyes.

He panicked and quickly lowered his head, not daring to look around anymore.

Huo Min's gaze returned to Mu Yuan's twirl of black hair, and he whispered softly, "Yuanyuan, I'm going out for a while. I'll be back soon, okay?"

Mu Yuan didn't move at first.

Huo Min's voice became even gentler: "I promise, I'll be back soon, just a few minutes."

Gradually.

He felt her grip on his neck loosen a little.

Huo Min lowered his head, kissed her hair, and comforted her, "Be good, sleep a little longer."

He carefully put the person back on the bed.

He pulled the quilt over her, tucked in the corners, and coaxed her to close her eyes again.

Then he stood up gently.

When I reached the door.

He still looked back at her with a worried look as she closed her eyes.

A few seconds later.

Then he left with a stern look on his face.

On the bed.

Mu Yuan slowly opened her almond-shaped eyes.

The quilt was balled up in her palm.

Fall into endless anxiety.

Stair corners.

Secretary Zhou reported in a low voice: "Boss Huo, the J/ party has detained that woman. By the way, her name is Su Ruoyun. She has always said that her brother was killed by Mu Gong..."

"How should I explain this to others? I don't need to teach you, right?"

Huo Min's gloomy question made Zhou Mi panic. He quickly took the initiative and said, "Of course, of course! I will only tell others that this woman is crazy and mentally unstable."

Huo Min looked indifferent. "Alright, send word over from J/ Fang. As Mu Yuan's spouse, I will pursue this matter of someone deliberately slandering and harming my wife to the end."

Secretary Zhou hurriedly said, "Okay! I'll take care of it right away."

Secretary Zhou was about to leave after saying this.

"Wait."

Huo Min called out coldly.

Secretary Zhou turned around again and asked, "Boss Huo, do you have any instructions?"

Huo Min's eyes were cold and gloomy. "Go and find out if Su Ruoyun knows that Mu Yuan is here."

Secretary Zhou was surprised, but immediately replied: "Okay! I'll check it out right away."

Huo Min waved his hand unexpectedly and sent the man away.

He re-entered the room.

When he raised his eyes, he saw that Mu Yuan was no longer asleep.

Instead, he bent his knees, sat against the head of the bed, and hugged himself in a trance.

His whole body was filled with fragility that could be easily broken.

It seemed as if it would completely shatter if touched.

Huo Min stared at her.

The depth in his eyes cannot be dispelled.

Walk forward lightly and slowly.

"Yuanyuan." He was afraid of scaring her, so even his voice was full of tenderness.

Hear him calling.

Mu Yuan looked up in a daze.

Huo Min lowered his eyes, gently put his arm around her waist, and pulled her into his arms again.

"It's okay, don't be afraid. You've been working so hard lately. Just treat these two days as a holiday and have a good rest, okay?"

He put his fingers into Mu Yuan's trembling hand and interlocked theirs.

The warmth in his palm covered her coldness.

Transmitting his warmth bit by bit.

She was so confused and bewildered that she clung to it tightly as if she had found a piece of driftwood while drowning.

She didn't respond, and Huo Min didn't urge her.

He just gently stroked the back of her slender hand with his rough fingertips: "Does your head hurt?"

After a while, Mu Yuan finally whispered, "It doesn't hurt."

"Would you like some water?"

"don't want……"

"Okay, let's drink later."

I saw him turn his head, as if he was about to get up.

Mu Yuan almost immediately held his slender, strong hand with distinct bones.

Huo Min paused, understanding the tension on her face, and comforted her: "Don't worry, I won't leave, I'll stay here with you."

Mu Yuan felt a sore nose.

She mustered up her courage and met his dark and deep gaze.

The blood rushes and the mind feels numb.

She bit her lips for a long time, her voice soft and hoarse: "I want to tell you the secret from before, are you willing to listen?"

A hint of gloom flashed across Huo Min's eyes, but he still curled his lips slightly: "As long as it's what you say, I'm willing to listen."
