Chapter 76

evening

After dinner, Huo Jin asked to take a bath.

Luo Chaoyan didn't react at once, waved her hand and said, "Then go ahead." Then she picked up a travel book and started reading.

After just watching for a while and not seeing him go to the bathroom, she raised her eyes to look at him. She saw some resentment on his handsome face, and then saw the plaster board in his hand, and then she reacted.

"You want me to find someone to wash for you?"

Huo Jin said nothing, just looked at her.

What does this mean by not answering? Could it be that this guy wants her to wash him? Cough cough! She thought she didn't have the courage yet.

"My dear, the doctor said that your wound cannot be exposed to water. Why don't you just bear with it for the time being?" Luo Chaoyan said as if she was doing it for his own good.

Seeing that he still didn't speak and just stared at her, she suddenly felt helpless and said, "My dear, you also know that I am not very good at serving people."

Huo Jin said, "It's okay."

Seeing his expression that said "I knew this a long time ago", Luo Chaoyan rolled her eyes and said, "You still want me to wash even though you knew this?" Is he trying to torment her or is he looking for trouble? She gritted her teeth and thought, okay, let's help him this time since he was injured.

The bathroom was filled with smoke and the scene seemed somewhat ambiguous.

Luo Chaoyan suppressed the heat on her face and carefully took off Huo Jin's outer clothes. Seeing that there was only a set of thin undergarments left, she pointed at them with her fingertips and shrank back a little. Should she take them off too? What if she couldn't hold back and pounced on him like a hungry wolf?

Huo Jin felt a little amused when he saw her frowning, but he didn't want to make things difficult for her. Just when he was about to say that she didn't need to take off her clothes anymore, he heard Fengli's anxious voice from outside the door.

"Madam, Young Master An is not feeling well and wants to see you. Madam is anxious for you to come over."

oops! At the critical moment, it is still her little fat boy! She decided to give him a chicken drumstick next time they had dinner.

Luo Chaoyan hurriedly said: "My dear, it seems that I have to go see An An first, you..."

"I'll go with you." Huo Jin said.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Luo Chaoyan had no choice but to take a clean coat from the side and let him put it on.

When the couple arrived at Madam Huo's yard, they saw Madam Huo and Huo Rui were there too.

After the doctor checked little Huo An's pulse, Mrs. Huo looked anxious and asked, "What's wrong? Why did he suddenly have a fever?"

Mrs. Huo was worried when she saw her grandson looked uncomfortable. Normally, her grandson was in good health and seldom got sick.

"Don't worry, old lady. The young master's fever is caused by indigestion. I will prescribe some medicine to help digestion, and the heat will dissipate after taking it." The doctor comforted.

Madam Huo nodded and quickly asked someone to take the prescription and get the medicine.

When Huo An saw the doctor asking him to take medicine again, he refused immediately. He covered his mouth with his hands and shook his head. He glared at the doctor fiercely and shouted, "I won't take it!"

As he said this, he reached out to Luo Chaoyan with a wronged look on his face, seeking comfort pitifully.

"Mother!"

Luo Chaoyan walked over and sat on the edge of the bed. She hugged him with one hand and touched his forehead with the other. She said very gently, "An'an, be good! If you refuse to take the medicine, your body won't get better. If you can't get better, you can't eat roast chicken or grilled fish...you can only drink some vegetable porridge."

When Huo An heard her say that she couldn't eat so many delicious foods, his eyes suddenly turned red and he finally started sobbing.

But Old Madam Huo was heartbroken. She glared at Luo Chaoyan and asked her to coax the person, but she ended up making the person cry.

Luo Chaoyan felt a little embarrassed. How could she know that this trick wouldn't work?

Huo Jin frowned and looked at Huo An, his expression somewhat stern, and said: "As a member of the Huo family, how can you be so squeamish!"

Seeing his expression, Huo An shrank back, hid in Luo Chaoyan's arms and cried even harder.

Mrs. Huo was furious when she saw this. She was afraid that the couple was here to irritate her.

Seeing the old lady's ugly expression, Luo Chaoyan hurriedly said, "An An, you take the medicine, how about your father drink it with you?"

Huo An raised his little face, tears still hanging in his eyes. He blinked and looked at his father's stern expression. Then he smiled, nodded heavily and said, "Okay!"

Mrs. Huo was relieved when she saw that her grandson was willing to take the medicine.

However, Huo Jin looked at Luo Chaoyan with disapproval.

Luo Chaoyan pushed him out without any guilt, and said seriously, "My dear, the doctor said you still need to drink some blood-replenishing medicine. That's perfect, drink it with An An."

What she didn't expect was that just as she finished speaking, Huo An lifted her hand and said seriously, "Mother, drink too!"

Luo Chaoyan choked. Was this naughty kid doing this on purpose? She is a person who is afraid of taking medicine. Besides, can I bear the pain of taking medicine together? It seems that for the health of the little fat boy, she should let him eat more vegetables in the future.

She was just trying to find an excuse to get away with it, but she heard the old lady ask the doctor, "Doctor, the weather has been hot recently. To prevent getting angry, do I need to drink some summer heat soup?"

The doctor nodded and said, "Yes!"

Upon seeing this, Mrs. Huo asked someone to prepare some heat-relief medicine. Huo Rui and Luo Chaoyan immediately looked bitter.

Upon hearing this, Huo An hid in Luo Chaoyan's arms and sneered secretly. The little shoulders were still shrugging. It was as if he was afraid that others wouldn't know that he was secretly enjoying himself.

Luo Chaoyan and Huo Rui looked at each other and rolled their eyes at Huo An in a rare show of solidarity.

Luo Chaoyan was wondering if this little fat boy had also grown crooked because of Huo Rui? Do you also like to torment others?

Soon the medicine was served.

Looking at the black medicine, Luo Chaoyan shuddered, and hurriedly picked up the bowl of Qi and blood tonic medicine that belonged to Huo Jin, fed him a sip, then looked at Huo An and said, "An An, your father has drunk it, it's your turn."

Seeing that his father didn't even frown when taking the medicine, Huo An smacked his lips. Isn't his father's medicine bitter?

Luo Chaoyan knew what he was thinking, so she brought the bowl of medicine to him and asked, "Do you want to drink it?"

When Huo An smelled the medicine, his face wrinkled, "No!"

As he said this, he looked at Huo Rui and Old Madam Huo and the others.

Does this mean you want to see them drinking too?

Old Madam Huo and Mrs. Huo looked at their grandson with amusement, then reluctantly picked up the summer-cooling soup and started drinking it.

Seeing this, Huo An could only make a bitter face, pick up his bowl of medicine, and gulp down the medicine.

After he finished drinking, he remembered that his mother and brother had not drunk yet. Immediately his eyes were fixed on the two of them.

Luo Chaoyan had just finished feeding Huo Jin medicine. When she saw his little face with his lips pursed and his eyes looking at her expectantly, her heart trembled. Can't this naughty kid just let her go?

She hurriedly walked up to Huo Rui, smiled so gently, and said, "Xiao Rui, you haven't memorized the homework assigned by Mr. Gongsun yet, right?"

Huo Rui was startled. Why did he bring this up for no reason? After seeing the bowl of medicine, he realized that this was an excuse not to drink the medicine. However, he didn't want to drink it either, so he pretended to be sad and said, "No, I was still studying hard when I heard that An An was not feeling well, so I came here."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's study hard now, or Mr. Gongsun will punish you tomorrow." She said to the two elders with the appearance of a good wife and mother, "Grandma, mother, I will accompany Xiao Rui'er to study now. I'll trouble you to take care of An'an."

As she said that, she put her arm around Huo Rui's shoulders and walked out together.

Everyone was left confused. When did these two become so close?
