Chapter 254: Acclimatization

Huo Min was gone for a few days.

Mu Yuan was completely out of shape.

My mind was full of his strange attitude the night he left.

I didn't notice it at the time.

Later on, I savored it.

Only to find that he didn't seem keen on communicating with her.

Or perhaps there's a feeling of not wanting to talk.

He is no longer the same as before.

Even if I didn't meet the person, I sent messages frequently.

The chat box only contained her message: [Have you been to Province T?]

He replied briefly: [We’re here.]

And then nothing happened.

It was as if he didn't want to communicate even when he was online.

Or is he very busy?

"Yuanyuan, get me a tissue."

She was distracted.

He didn't even hear Zhao Keqiong calling from the hospital bed.

Zhao Keqiong felt strange and called out again, "Yuanyuan?"

Mu Yuan only came back to his senses in an instant, a stunned look on his cold face: "Mom?"

Zhao Keqiong couldn't help laughing: "I asked you to get me a piece of paper."

"Oh, okay..." Mu Yuan shuddered and quickly turned sideways to get a tissue.

Zhao Keqiong took the tissue, looked at her all the time, and laughed: "What's the matter? You are here, but your heart is not here."

Punctured state.

Mu Yuan's eyelashes trembled slightly: "Sorry, Mom, I was thinking about something and didn't hear you calling me."

"Pfft, what's there to be sorry about? Mom won't get angry just because you didn't respond when I called her. If that were the case, wouldn't I be the legendary evil mother-in-law?"

Mu Yuan smiled twice to show his support, but it seemed a bit forced.

She couldn't laugh now.

I feel very confused.

She tried to put aside her chaotic thoughts.

"Director Chen said you can be discharged this afternoon and go home to recuperate."

Zhao Keqiong's eyebrows curved happily: "Finally I can go back. Oh, I'm really bored living here."

Seeing her so happy, Mu Yuan raised her lip and said, "But after you go back, you must eat on time, go out for more walks and exercise, and adjust your condition."

Zhao Keqiong: "Okay, Mom knows."

Mu Yuan stood up from her seat beside the bed: "Then Mom, I'll go and complete the discharge procedures first."

Zhao Keqiong smiled and waved her hand: "Go ahead."

Generally, only the attending physician approves it.

The discharge process was quick.

Mu Yuan looked at the toll collector behind the glass wall of the toll window, which had only a small opening.

"Hello, I'm here to handle the discharge procedures."

The cashier took the hospitalization bill she handed in through a small opening and said, "Okay, the remaining hospitalization fee is 13,000 yuan. Would you like to pay by cash/WeChat or card?"

"Let me use WeChat." She just opened the payment code.

Then I heard the toll collector apologize: "I'm sorry, I just saw that this fee is charged to Mr. Huo's account. Just wait for it to be automatically deducted from his account."

Mu Yuan's eyes paused for a moment: "It's okay, no need to deduct his money, I'll pay it."

"In that case, please inform him to cancel the automatic deduction option. The system is being updated recently and is not stable. It needs to be manually canceled. Otherwise, the system will deduct the fee again, and it will be very troublesome to refund the money."

"Okay, I'll let him know later. Let me scan the code first."

"Please sweep this side."

With a "beep", she scanned the code.

But it was unsuccessful.

Look at the center of the screen showing: Deduction failed.

Mu Yuan frowned slightly and quickly showed the toll collector her phone screen: "Hello, it shows that the toll deduction failed. What should I do?"

The toll collector studied it for a few seconds before saying, "It might be linked to Mr. Huo's account, which is why the deduction failed. Why don't you wait for Mr. Huo to automatically transfer the money? Otherwise, it might be troublesome to notify him to unlink it now."

It is a bit troublesome.

But Mu Yuan's almond-shaped eyes lit up slightly.

She hurriedly said, "I'll call him now."

The phone rang several times before it was connected.

[Hello?] Hearing the familiar low-pitched voice, Mu Yuan suddenly felt a little nervous.

Mu Yuan: [Hello? Are you free now?]

There was silence on the other end of the line for a few seconds, and then the sound of him walking around was heard.

It seemed like he was walking from indoors to outdoors to answer the phone.

Because the further back you go.

The noise on the microphone becomes heavier.

That was the sound of cars and people on the street.

She was fiddling with her mind.

Until I heard him speak again: [You say.]

Mu Yuan finally released her clenched lips: "I'm helping Mom with her discharge from the hospital. I need you to unbind the automatic billing option from the hospital."

He understood and said calmly, "No need, just deduct the money from mine."

Mu Yuan guessed he would say that.

Didn't insist.

Because that wasn't the reason she called.

She suddenly changed the subject: [Does your wound hurt today?]

【No.】He was brief and to the point.

The conversation was interrupted.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward.

Mu Yuan thought for two seconds, then hurriedly asked: [Have you dealt with the matter over there? ]

[Not yet.] Two short words again, and then silence.

Mu Yuan tightly gripped the phone, her voice gradually becoming lowered: [So, you won't be able to come back this week? ]

Around the corner from high-end restaurants.

Huo Min leaned his back against the wall, his long legs casually bent.

He raised his hand and pressed hard on the solar plexus which was swollen and painful.

He thought he must be suffering from acclimatization.

Landed in Province T.

The first feeling is: cold.

The snow fell in the bitter winter, and everything was frozen.

Including his heart.

Thousands of thoughts, in the trembling heart of fear that she would file for divorce, were ground into a low voice: "Hmm."

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while.

For him.

Every second feels like an age.

Unsure of what she would say next, he forced himself to step over her reluctance and forcefully said, "I'm socializing. I'll hang up now."

Mu Yuan felt a lump in his throat and quickly said, "Okay, go ahead and do your work."

【Hang up.】He said again.

As if to apologize for hanging up first.

But it’s just two words.

She didn't have the ability to read people's minds by listening to their voices, so she really couldn't figure out his mood and thoughts at the moment.

Move the phone away from your ear.

She smiled apologetically at the toll collector and said, "Sorry, I'll just charge him."

"OK."

It took Huo Min quite a long time to come out.

Han Zhu sent a message but no one replied.

He came out to look for someone.

Search everywhere.

Finally found the person in a dark corner.

He hurried forward and said, "Mr. Huo, Mr. Zhao wants to discuss the investment details with you."

Huo Min didn't respond.

He moved closer.

Huo Min straightened his body.

only.

Just took a step forward.

The whole person staggered forward.

"Mr. Huo!" Han Zhu was startled and hurriedly stepped forward to support him.

Huo Min's shaking body steadied itself.

His cheeks tensed for a few moments, he endured the splitting pain in his head, and raised his hand to indicate that he was fine.

"Do you have a cold?"

Huo Min's eyes were blank, and he asked without a clear reason: "Will she be angry?"

The usual fierce momentum was interrupted by the sudden stupidity.

Han Zhu looked at Huo Min, who had been in a bad state since he solved the Tang Nana incident, and sighed in his heart: A cold is a small matter, but a heart disease is difficult to cure.

He noticed that their relationship seemed to have become a little subtle when Mu Yuan frequently contacted him to inquire about Huo Min's situation, but did not contact Huo Min directly.

He carefully suggested: "If you are worried that the young lady will be angry, why not give her a phone call and have a good chat."

His expression froze for a moment, and the silliness that had never been seen in him before was instantly overturned.

He said calmly: "Let's go, don't keep Mr. Zhao waiting for too long."
