Huo Yuli is on his way to the hospital now.

Half an hour ago, Jiang Siyu told him that she had no one to take care of her and wanted Huo Yuli to stay with her again.

Huo Yuli agreed.

Before he arrived, Jiang Siyu put on a pale sick beauty makeup, looked left and right in the mirror, and waited for him with satisfaction.

"Yu Li, I'm sorry to bother you again."

Jiang Siyu bit her lower lip, looking pitiful. After this incident, she knew more about how to soften his heart.

Sure enough, Huo Yuli showed no impatience at all. "It's okay, as long as you can get better."

"For you, I will try my best to get better." Jiang Siyu was about to lean on him when she saw his phone vibrate.

Then Huo Yuli picked up the phone.

It was a message from Huo Shu.

[The kid team agreed to meet us next weekend]

Huo Yuli's brows relaxed and he replied with an "OK".

Jiang Siyu noticed the change in his expression and was worried that it was a text message from Liu Huanyi. She pretended to be concerned and asked, "Yu Li, what's the news? What makes you feel so good?"

"Company matters."

Huo Yuli put down his phone and handed her a glass of water.

"The doctor told you to drink more water."

Jiang Siyu was dissatisfied with his perfunctory attitude, but she didn't dare to get angry, so she could only take the water and take a sip.

"Yu Li, do you feel tired of taking care of me? I also know that I am a burden now, I won't drag you down, you can go and do your thing."

Although she told him to go, it was not hard to hear the accusation hidden in her words.

Huo Yuli calmly explained, "It's really just a work matter. I'm not going to tell you in detail because you're a patient now."

"All right."

Jiang Siyu could tell from his tone that Huo Yuli was telling the truth. As long as it had nothing to do with Liu Huanyi, she didn't care about anything else.

"Yu Li, I've become more sensitive than before since I got sick, so I need you to be more tolerant of me. I'm sorry."

"Yes, I understand."

What else could Huo Yuli do if she didn't understand? Was she going to argue with a patient like her?

Jiang Siyu held the water and took small sips. Huo Yuli was obviously unhappy just now, so she had to stop while she was ahead to avoid making Huo Yuli feel disgusted.

But after knowing that Liu Huanyi was Jiang Ruyi, she felt uneasy all the time, always feeling that there was a time bomb that could explode at any time.

The only way to defuse the bomb is for her to marry Huo Yuli. In this way, even if the truth is revealed in the future, she is already tied to the Huo family.

Jiang Siyu looked at Huo Yuli who was peeling an apple for her and asked tentatively, "Yuli, my friend came to see me today."

"Um."

Seeing that he didn't respond, Jiang Siyu continued, "My friend came to see me, mainly to ask about my plans after graduation. She asked me whether I wanted to find a job or... marry you directly."

When saying this, Jiang Siyu didn't dare to miss any of Huo Yuli's micro-expressions.

Huo Yuli frowned.

"My suggestion is that you work first. Have you thought about your future career direction? Do you want to do a job related to your major or find another job that interests you?"

She doesn't want to work at all!

Is there any better job in the world than Mrs. Huo?

"Yu Li, didn't you say you wanted to marry me?"

Huo Yuli put down the apple and the fruit knife, took a piece of paper to wipe his hands, and thought about how to tell Jiang Siyu more appropriately.

"You are still too young. You will regret it in the future if you get married right after graduation."

"I won't!"

Jiang Siyu looked at him persistently, "Don't you want to marry me? Are you going to regret it?"

"I'm not going to go back on my word."

Huo Yuli frowned even more tightly, "I hope you can think it through. You are still in school and have not been tempered by society. It will be useless for you to start a family directly."

To Jiang Siyu, this was just an excuse!

She was so flustered that she couldn't help asking, "Yu Li, do you really not want to marry me? Do you hate me? Is it because of my depression?"

Huo Yuli didn't like her bringing up depression again and again, like a bargaining chip that kept testing him.

"I really care about you. There is more to life than just getting married. Don't you want to have a job and a career to strive for?"

What he wanted was never the dodder that depended on him, but a woman who could fight alongside him.

He was also puzzled. Wasn't she very strong-willed when she was little? Why did she become like this when she grew up?

Jiang Siyu looked at his face and didn't dare to refute.

She was afraid that Huo Yuli would be angry, so she quickly changed her words.

"Actually, I'm just talking. I've already thought about my future. After graduation, I'm going to work hard and I'm going to build my own career!"

After hearing her say this, Huo Yuli's expression eased a little.

"That's right, everything is likely to change, except your ability."

Jiang Siyu nodded quickly.

"Yu Li, you are right. If I neglect you for my career in the future, you can't complain."

Huo Yuli shook his head.

"Of course not. It's normal to be busy with your own things. Everyone is an independent individual. I won't argue with you about this."

Jiang Siyu originally wanted to use her friendship as an excuse to force Huo Yuli to marry her, but now it seems that this approach is not feasible.

She changed her mind again.

"Yu Li, we can get engaged first instead of getting married. Many people do this now. They get engaged after graduation, then pursue their careers and get married later."

Huo Yuli stared into her eyes, which made Jiang Siyu feel a little guilty.

"Are you anxious?"

"No. I'm not in a hurry, it's just... my friends keep asking me. Everyone knows we're getting married, and now there's no news, I don't know how to answer."

Jiang Siyu used others as an excuse for everything and cleared herself of all blame.

If Huo Yuli is unhappy, she will blame it on her "friend".

"You don't have to care what others think, you live your life yourself."

"That's true, but..."

Jiang Siyu took a deep breath, "You know I have no parents, and I really want to have a family. That's why I always want to settle down with you as soon as possible."

This reason was understandable, so Huo Yuli had no choice but to give in.

"I'll talk to my family later."

Jiang Siyu lowered her eyes, but felt something was wrong.

Given the Huo family’s attitude, there’s no way they would agree.

But Huo Yuli had already said so, if she continued to force him, she would be ungrateful.

"Yu Li, I understand. Go back and talk to your family. I also hope to get their approval and blessings."

"good."

Huo Yuli picked up the apple and continued to peel it, not noticing Jiang Siyu's resentful look.

Mr. Huo hates her so much, he will definitely not agree.

She still needs to work on other things, but as long as Huo Yuli agrees to the engagement, there is still hope.
