Chapter 89 Kissing the Scars Little by Little

Do you have something to ask her? But she didn't think there was anything to talk about between her and him, unless...

"You want to ask me something? Is it about the divorce?"

At the moment, apart from the divorce, she and he still have something to talk about. As for other things, Jiang Qin really doesn't think there is anything else for her and him to talk about or ask about.

There was silence on the other end of the phone. Jiang Qin raised her eyebrows slightly and expressed her intuition: "No?"

On this side, at Ruikang Hospital, Huo Sili, holding the phone, was about to say something.

Jiang Qin spoke first: "If not, it's getting late now. You said an hour, but there's a traffic jam on the road at this time. It's still a question whether you can come back on time."

"I'm a little sleepy now, and I can't wait for you that long. If you have something urgent, why don't you tell me now?"

In the hospital ward, Horsley opened the door and walked out into the quiet corridor.

"I can't tell you now, and it's only a little after eight, not even nine. When did you go to bed so early?"

Jiang Qin was very sensitive to any questions about her private life. When she heard this, although she didn't know whether he had discovered something again, she became alert almost instantly.

Jiang Qin pretended to be speechless. "I'm just sleepy. The doctor also said that my physical condition requires more sleep. Okay, I don't want to talk to you anymore. I asked you to talk but you didn't. It seems that you are not in a hurry. I'm hanging up now."

After she finished speaking, there was silence on her end.

Huo Sili raised his eyebrows slightly and called her, "Qinqin..."

But just after he called out, he heard a beep.

The call was hung up.

I heard footsteps behind me, and when I turned around, Lu Xiuyuan walked out.

"What's wrong? Did you have a fight with your wife?"

He Xu stood against the wall next to him, not daring to speak. He carefully looked at Huo Sili and then at Lu Xiuyuan.

Then when he saw Lu Xiuyuan wanted to say something, he silently moved closer to the wall.

But fortunately, when Lu Xiuyuan wanted to gossip further, Huo Sili stopped him.

"What? Are you jealous that I have a wife?" These words were really hurtful. He Xu was worried that the two of them would start fighting if they kept insulting each other.

Fortunately, I was worrying too much.

While Lu Xiuyuan was silent, Huo Sili changed the subject, "Okay, I'm going back now. I'll leave this man in your care for the time being."

Within a few seconds, the two stopped insulting each other and became good brothers again.

Lu Xiuyuan: "Okay, go back and be with your wife."

Just as he was talking, Lu Xiuyuan suddenly remembered something and looked at Huo Sili who was about to enter the elevator, "Hey, wait a minute."

Horsley paused, "Hmm?"

Lu Xiuyuan: "Why don't you two hold a formal wedding? Not to mention making it public elsewhere, at least make it public in the circle? Stop keeping your marriage secret?"

Horsley raised his eyebrows slightly.

Lu Xiuyuan continued, with a serious tone: "Before, didn't you say that you were considering her because she was still studying? Now that she has graduated, if you two continue to hide like this, I'm afraid you..."

There will be no wife.

Without saying a word, Lu Xiuyuan wisely shut up as he saw the person in front of him purse his thin lips at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Forget it, everyone has their own destiny. When it’s time to part, there’s no point in forcing things together.

After Huo Sili and He Xu left, Lu Xiuyuan returned to his own clinic and continued to read his medical book.

…

In Yunhai Huafu, Jiang Qin's eyelids were drooping when she was taking a shower in the bathroom.

I was thinking that I should wait for him a little longer. After all, maybe he really had some work-related matters that were not convenient to discuss on the phone.

But when I came out of the bathroom, I was really sleepy, and this sleepiness was different from the usual sleepiness.

Right now she felt like she was completely out of control, her head was foggy, and she couldn't use her willpower to fight against her body's instinctive reactions. She was so sleepy that she couldn't stand it.

Not to mention sitting, she felt she could fall asleep even if she was standing.

But apart from lying down, it is obvious that other ways of sleeping are dangerous to her now.

After all, it is not easy to cover yourself with a quilt when sitting, and it is easy to catch a cold. Moreover, when people fall asleep, their head may be tilted and their neck may feel uncomfortable.

After forcing herself to think for a while with the little energy she had left, Jiang Qin finally gave up waiting for Huo Sili to come back and ask her questions. After all, she was so sleepy that she wouldn't be able to answer him even if he came back to ask her.

Thinking of this, Jiang Qin didn't hesitate any longer and quickly lay down on the bed, then wrapped herself tightly in the quilt with the last bit of consciousness she had.

She felt so limp that she didn't even have the strength to reach out and turn off the bedside lamp. The moment Jiang Qin closed her eyes completely, it was like a computer being forced to shut down. Even though there were still programs running, the screen suddenly went black and she fell into complete chaos.

…

It was late at night and the black Cullinan stopped outside the gate of Yunhai Mansion within an hour, just as Horsley had said.

Aunt Wang was still awake in the nanny's room. She heard the noise, looked out the window, then saw the car, and hurried out to greet it.

I'm just wondering, didn't the gentleman come back before? This is, and then went out again?

Before Wang Ma could figure out what was going on, the tall and handsome man, under the moonlight, stretched out his long legs and walked quickly inside.

"Sir." Wang Ma called out quickly.

"Yeah." Huo Sili responded lightly, continued walking, and suddenly stopped.

Wang Ma followed Huo Sili's steps, and when she saw him stop, she stopped too. She then noticed that Huo Sili looked up at the window upstairs of the villa.

Following Horsley's line of sight, Wang Ma saw the master bedroom with the curtains tightly closed.

When I thought of something, I suddenly felt complicated again.

My wife is probably asleep.

I guess the gentleman will have to sleep in the guest bedroom again tonight.

Having said that, the two have been secretly married for four years. Although they initially thought that the wife was still young, the husband is not young anymore. They are always having conflicts and sleeping in separate rooms. When will the old lady be able to hold her great-grandson?

Aunt Wang herself is old enough to have grandchildren, and seeing the couple's situation, she couldn't help but worry about the old lady.

But soon, Aunt Wang couldn't help but be surprised again - the display screen on the right side of the elevator showed that they had reached the third floor!

It seems that it is not certain whether the two of them will sleep in separate rooms tonight!

At the same time, upstairs, Horsley gently pushed open the door to the master bedroom.

Then he noticed that the bedside lamp was still on in the room, and his eyes brightened.

Huo Sili closed the door quietly and walked over. Jiang Qin on the big bed seemed to hear some noise in her sleep.

He groaned uncomfortably and turned over in the bed.

Huo Sili, who was about to approach, stopped immediately and waited until Jiang Qin seemed to have fallen asleep comfortably before continuing forward.

Finally, he reached her.

At this moment, Horsley suddenly felt a little dazed. How long had it been since he had looked at her quietly like this at night?

Suddenly he remembered the name the old man called him in the hospital ward.

Huo Sili frowned. Chi Shen, is that the Chi Shen of Huo Chi Shen?

If so, what happened eight years ago and what exactly happened?

Huo Sili looked at Jiang Qin's sleeping face, his mind wandering uncontrollably. He leaned down and kissed her forehead.

Just at this moment, the person in the quilt seemed to feel hot, humming and stretched out his left hand from under the quilt.

Her skin was white, so any marks were obvious. With this movement, under the warm light, he noticed the knife marks on her wrist.

After the scabs fell off, the color of the scars was obviously pinker than the surrounding areas.

Huo Sili's eyes darkened. He leaned over again, gently held her hand, and kissed the scars bit by bit.

When he kissed those scars, the words Lu Xiuyuan had said before suddenly rang in Huo Sili's ears.

——Why don’t you two hold a formal wedding? Even if you don’t announce it anywhere else, at least make it public within your circle? Stop hiding your marriage?
