Chapter 137

Huo Jingzhou held her in his arms, his chest heaving, a low, extremely pleased laugh escaping his throat.

Wen Xin became even more shy, but slowly covered his large hands with her own, responding to him.

She has feelings for him and is willing to try with him.

If he is really willing to wait for her for three years, then what if she spends the rest of her life with him?

Yes, Wen Xin gave him a light glare with sparkling eyes.

What do you mean by waiting for her for twenty-seven years? They've clearly only known each other for less than three months.

Huo Jingzhou said seriously, "For the past twenty-seven years, I have never been moved by anyone, wasn't it all for waiting for you?"

Wen Xin felt incredibly happy inside, but deliberately put on an indifferent expression. What if he met other women who could make his heart flutter?

Huo Jingzhou said firmly, "Impossible."

There was no one else but her.

Wen Xin paused for a moment, then unconsciously broke into a bright smile, hooking her jade-like fingers around his palm.

Huo Jingzhou paused slightly, then held her tighter in his arms, saying in a hoarse voice, "Ah Xin, not yet, don't seduce your brother."

Wen Xin: "..."

She didn't? It was clearly him...

Wen Xin was so angry that she wanted to shake off his hand.

Huo Jingzhou chuckled softly in her ear, stopping his teasing and saying affectionately, "Alright, you're still not better, go to sleep."

Wen Xin was always powerless against his gentleness, and as the effects of the medicine took hold, she was really sleepy and nestled peacefully in his arms to fall asleep.

Huo Jingzhou's eyes and brows were full of gentle smiles. He kissed her forehead again, then closed his eyes contentedly while holding her.

...

Because she was recuperating, Wen Xin stayed temporarily at the Huo residence.

However, apart from Marshal Huo, no one else in the Huo family was allowed to set foot in Huo Jingzhou's attic.

Huo Jingfeng tried to find Wen Xin several times, but before he could even get close to the pavilion, he was stopped by the guards and driven away.

As a result, Huo Jingfeng's face always turned pale, and he became increasingly dissatisfied and resentful of Huo Jingzhou.

I think this older brother is really despicable, he actually imprisoned someone.

He truly is a cold-blooded warlord who is autocratic, unreasonable, and inhumane!

I wonder how Wen Xin is usually suppressed and bullied by that tyrannical man?

She must be living a miserable life, Huo Jingfeng secretly vowed, he would definitely rescue her.

Compared to Huo Jingzhou, a cold-blooded and brutal warlord, Huo Jingfeng believed that Wen Xin would definitely prefer a romantic and progressive educated youth like himself.

Previously, it was just a misunderstanding between them!

However, Huo Jingfeng wanted to see Wen Xin not only to make his presence felt and win her back, but also for Tao Ran's sake.

That night, Tao Ran was taken to the police station and soon handed over to the court.

Two days ago, the court held a trial and sentenced her to ten years in prison, where she will be imprisoned in Lan Island Prison.

Don't be fooled by the elegant and pleasant name of Lan Island; it's actually a terrifying hell on earth, where the most vicious criminals are imprisoned. Surrounded by the sea on all sides, there's no way out.

Anyone who is imprisoned there has no chance of ever returning.

Huo Jingfeng had deep feelings for Tao Ran, so how could he bear to see her being taken to such a terrible place?

She's a weak woman; who knows how she'll be tortured if she goes there?

Given Tao Ran's crimes, he shouldn't have been punished so severely!

It's obvious that Huo Jingzhou is using his position to settle personal scores.

How could a grown man, a young warlord, make things so difficult for a woman? How dare he?

Huo Jingfeng thought bitterly that he was determined to expose that person's cruelty and hypocrisy in front of Wen Xin.

Therefore, no matter how many times he was chased away by his personal guards, he persisted (shamelessly) and ran over, trying to break through the encirclement to find someone, which made those personal guards all drunk.

Does the Second Young Master really want to be beaten to death by the Young Marshal?

Wen Xin, whom Huo Jingfeng believed was living a life of misery...

Yes, she was indeed in a bit of a predicament at that moment.

Her cold is almost completely gone; apart from the occasional cough, she's basically fine.

But the doctor said she had a cold constitution and prescribed her Chinese medicine to regulate it.

Heaven knows how terrified that pampered young lady, who had never suffered since childhood, was of those bowls of dark, murky medicinal soup.

Every time Huo Jingzhou brought it in, she would look surprised and doubtful, shaking her little head in refusal.

However, Huo Jingzhou could spoil her without limits in other matters, but when it came to her health, the young marshal Huo had no room for negotiation.

Wen Xin stared at him with misty eyes, thinking he was a complete jerk who didn't cherish her after getting her.

Huo Jingzhou: "..."

Helpless, he could only coax this delicate girl in a soft voice.

"After you take your medicine, shall I take you for a walk?"

These days, she can't stand the cold, so Huo Jingzhou has been keeping her in the room to recuperate, not allowing her to go out and get chilled.

Although Wen Xin could stay at home, she was getting too bored staying in the bedroom all the time, and she complained to him several times that she was about to grow mushrooms.

Although Huo Jingzhou felt sorry for her, he was afraid that she would catch a cold and get a fever again, so he could only refuse.

Every time, the little girl would puff out her cheeks and sulk with her back to him.

But she was also very easy to coax. Huo Jingzhou held her and whispered a few words gently, and she smiled and obediently listened to him.

Huo Shaoshuai often sighed inwardly, thinking, "She's so easy to coax and so easy to fool!"

The little girl has such a good temper, and she's been bullied and hurt once or twice. How can he not be heartbroken?

Therefore, Huo Jingzhou cannot let those who hurt her get away with it!

Death is nothing; a fate worse than death is their destiny!

When Wen Xin heard that Huo Jingzhou was going to take her out for a walk, her almond-shaped eyes brightened. "Really?"

Huo Jingzhou laughed and said, "When have I ever lied to you?"

Wen Xin smiled and obediently drank her medicine.

It was this that made her so miserable that her eyes were filled with tears.

Huo Jingzhou fed her a spoonful of loquat honey paste.

With a cool, sweet taste filling her mouth, Wen Xin tugged at his sleeve, "Brother, I've finished my medicine, let's go out."

Huo Jingzhou smiled helplessly, took his coat and draped it over her shoulders, put his arm around her shoulder, and led her for a walk in the garden downstairs.

It is early summer, and all kinds of flowers are in full bloom.

A few days ago, Huo Jingzhou instructed people to transplant a lot of roses.

The red roses sway in the wind, vibrant and beautiful.

Huo Jingzhou cut off the best-blooming flower, carefully removed the thorns, and handed it to the girl beside him.

Wen Xin held the rose to her nose and gently sniffed it, smiling sweetly.

She complained to him in a sweet voice, "The medicine I just drank was too bitter, I can't even smell the rose fragrance anymore."

Huo Jingzhou raised an eyebrow slightly. "Is that so?"

He leaned closer to her, his deep, magnetic voice tinged with amusement, "Shall I smell it for you?"

Before her was his magnified handsome face; Wen Xin's eyes flickered slightly, but she did not refuse.

Huo Jingzhou's eyes darkened slightly, just as he was about to kiss her...

What are you doing?

Huo Jingfeng's furious outburst shattered the beautiful atmosphere.

Wen Xin was startled and hurriedly hid herself in Huo Jingzhou's arms.

Huo Shaoshuai's face was ashen, and his eyes were as cold as sharp blades, as if he wanted to slice Huo Jingfeng into pieces!

Holding the embarrassed girl in his arms, he turned to Huo Jingfeng and uttered a cold, harsh word, "Get out!"
