…

After an afternoon of surgery, Xun Ting felt physically and mentally exhausted. Sure enough, this body was not as good as she thought, but it was still better than the sick version of herself in her own world.

Listening to the situation now, I am already very content.

After changing back into her own clothes and returning to the villain's ward, she saw the door was tightly closed. She couldn't help but sigh and gently pushed the door open to enter.

This time, the villain wasn't sitting on the floor or in front of the French windows, but lying peacefully on the bed. When Xun Ting saw this, he almost thought he was seeing things.

The villain has stopped struggling?

She approached with a sweet smile: "My darling~ I'm back, have you eaten yet?"

"I've eaten." Huo Lin lay motionless on the bed, not even turning his head, answering casually. He looked lifeless and devoid of vitality.

It seems like nothing can capture his attention, which is heartbreaking.

Xun Ting walked over with small steps, a sweet smile on her face, "Sweetheart, I haven't eaten yet, would you like to eat with me again?"

"Have Assistant Gu bring you one serving." Huo Lin's tone was low and flat.

If you lift the blanket and look closely, you'll find that the man's hands are clenched into fists under the blanket, with veins bulging on his palms.

"Mr. Huo, are you really not going to eat?"

"I won't eat."

"Alright then, I'll eat by myself." Xun Ting said nonchalantly, not minding the man's coldness these past two days at all. She understood that he was still struggling with something in his heart.

She can take her time with him.

Huo Lin calmly instructed, "Don't bring them in."

"Why?" Xun Ting was taken aback. Why couldn't he bring it in?

"There's a smell." Huo Lin shifted his body and turned around, his dark, unfathomable eyes fixed on the woman, making it impossible for anyone to guess what the man was thinking.

Their eyes met.

Xun Ting couldn't help but twitch her lips, her emotions filled with deep sadness, and she gave a bitter laugh, "My darling, you never used to mind the smell."

She knew perfectly well that the man was only saying those things because of his leg injury and his low spirits, and that he didn't mean it by it, but she still felt terrible.

"Hmm." Huo Lin casually withdrew his gaze, seemingly not caring about her at all.

When Xun heard that the man really didn't intend to pay any attention to her, she angrily said, "I'm not eating anymore."

As he spoke, he climbed onto the bed, intending to lie down.

Huo Lin realized that the woman had really climbed up and didn't intend to eat. He couldn't help but frown and wanted to say something, but the woman had already closed her eyes.

For a long time, he was even more impatient than a woman.

She had been out all afternoon, and who knew if she had eaten? If she hadn't, wouldn't she be hungry? The man finally patted the woman's shoulder helplessly, "Get up and eat."

Listening intently without moving, he pretended not to hear, but a smile curved his lips.

"Listen to me, eat before you sleep." Huo Lin naturally saw the corners of the woman's mouth turn up. She wasn't answering because she was still angry, and he couldn't help but sigh.

It seems the little swindler is no longer afraid of him; he's even gotten too big for his britches.

“It will have a smell, I won’t eat it, we’ll eat it together tomorrow,” Xun Ting said deliberately.

"It's okay if it smells." Huo Lin reached out and stroked her long hair, speaking softly.

Hearing the answer she wanted, Xun Ting opened her eyes, her big, bright eyes staring straight at the man, full of expectation, "Will you eat?"
