Chapter 305 Is this reason acceptable?
Huo Xianyang had been looking forward to it for countless years, dreaming that one day Xiao Ruoyi would marry him.
But he also knew what the problem was between the two of them.
He once broke Xiao Ruoyi's heart.
Perhaps from that moment on, Xiao Ruoyi closed her heart and stopped believing in love.
Despite all these years, he has tried his best to get her to open up and accept him.
Actually, he is already very satisfied with the result.
But people are never satisfied.
Having gained a little, one desires more.
Having gained so much, I still want even more.
But Xiao Ruoyi still insisted on her point of view.
She doesn't want to get married, doesn't want to be legally bound to another person.
What can that thin marriage certificate prove?
There aren't that many divorces in society.
People who are truly together are not bound by a marriage certificate.
Huo Xianyang knew that she had a point.
Moreover, Xiao Ruoyi is wealthy and does not rely on men to live.
Such a woman is the most free and easy.
Huo Xianyang couldn't do anything.
Because what he has, Xiao Ruoyi also has.
But now that Xiao Ruoyi has even given birth to his child, he is already content.
He dared not think about marriage or any formal status anymore.
But who knew that after a car accident, when he woke up, Xiao Ruoyi would say such things.
Marrying Xiao Ruoyi and having a formal status was Huo Xianyang's dream.
But for some reason, he always felt uncomfortable if Xiao Ruoyi married him because of this.
Although she knew that if it had been someone else who saved Xiao Ruoyi, she wouldn't have said such a thing.
Xiao Ruoyi wanted to marry him because of him.
Even so, he didn't want to.
He hoped that Xiao Ruoyi would marry him because of him as a person, and because she loved him.
The reason is simple and untainted.
But when it comes to car accidents or words like salvation, things are different.
Seeing that Huo Xianyang remained silent, Xiao Ruoyi sighed, "Don't overthink it, I just..."
Huo Xianyang went to see her: "Just what? I hope you marry me simply because you want to marry me and spend your life with me. Not because you feel guilty or want to repay a debt of gratitude or make amends."
“I’ve already said no,” Xiao Ruoyi said. “How many times do I have to say it before you believe me?”
"But at this critical juncture, how can I not overthink things when you say such things? Even if you say no, I still think you're just trying to comfort me."
"Huo Xianyang!"
Xiao Ruoyi never said nice things; she was mostly mischievous, naughty, and unruly.
But Huo Xianyang just fell for that.
After years of bickering, Xiao Ruoyi had long been used to Huo Xianyang coaxing and indulging her.
Now, because of this matter, Huo Xianyang is so fixated on it that he's infuriating her.
"Let's... not talk about this for now, okay?" Huo Xianyang said. "At least until I've fully recovered. Otherwise, what if I don't recover and my figure isn't as good as Pei Muyi's? Won't you look down on me then?"
He said it with a smile, as if he were joking.
Xiao Ruoyi glared at him fiercely, then got up and left the ward.
Huo Xianyang didn't chase after him, and collapsed onto the bed, feeling exhausted.
He knew that this time, Xiao Ruoyi would not leave.
Even if they leave, they'll come back soon.
Xiao Ruoyi left the ward and went to a vending machine to buy a drink.
I gulped down half a bottle, and only then did the anger in my heart subside a little.
It's getting cold, but the hospital has heating, so it's hot and dry.
Xiao Ruoyi stood at the end of the corridor, near the window, and felt a little cooler.
She checked the time, took out her phone, and called Lin Xiyin.
"Yiyi?" Lin Xiyin quickly answered, "How are you feeling today? Are you feeling better?"
"Alright, it's not burning anymore," Xiao Ruoyi said. "Don't worry about it."
"You've just been working too hard lately. Make sure you get some rest and don't take it lightly."
"I see."
"What about Huo Xianyang? How is he?"
"Don't mention him to me."
Hearing this tone, Lin Xiyin asked curiously, "What's wrong? Did you two have a fight?"
That shouldn't be the case. Huo Xianyang only woke up two days ago, how could they be arguing as soon as he woke up?
"I don't want to talk to him," Xiao Ruoyi said. "Do you think he's sick in the head?"
Xiao Ruoyi told Lin Xiyin the whole story.
After listening, Lin Xiyin smiled and said, "Yiyi, if you do this, anyone will misunderstand."
"What misunderstanding? I clearly didn't mean that!"
"But this is a matter that is easy to misunderstand."
"I've already explained it!"
“Although I wasn’t there, I know your explanation wasn’t very pleasant,” Lin Xiyin said. “Couldn’t you have tried to comfort him a little?”
"He's such a grown man, why do you still need to coax him?"
Lin Xiyin sighed: "She just woke up after escaping death, and you heartless man keep saying you want to marry her, saying it's not to repay a debt of gratitude, but you don't even want to coax her."
Xiao Ruoyi said, "Then I don't know how to coax people."
"Just say a few nice words. Tell him that you married him not because he saved you, but because you love him and want to spend your life with him..."
"Ugh, that's so cheesy," Xiao Ruoyi said. "Do you usually coax Pei Muyi like this?"
"Sometimes saying a few nice words can get a man to do something, and it can make all the difference. Why not do it?"
"Ruanruan, you've become naughty," Xiao Ruoyi laughed. "I didn't expect you to be so skilled at handling men now."
"What?" Lin Xiyin laughed. "If Pei Muyi heard you say that, he'd think I'm a heartless woman."
"I think you have a lot of potential. How about this, the two of us form a 'bad girl' team and seduce all the high-achieving, elite men!"
"Come on," Lin Xiyin said, "You're always talking nonsense. Stop talking to me and go back to coax Huo Xianyang."
"He's putting on airs now, isn't he? I have to coax him."
"Yiyi, after what's happened, you should at least tone down your temper," Lin Xiyin said. "You clearly love him so much, yet you insist on being stubborn, making yourself unhappy and hurting him too. What are you trying to achieve?"
Xiao Ruoyi hummed twice but didn't say anything.
Lin Xiyin coaxed her, "Be good, go back quickly. He's still recovering. Are you sure you don't want to leave him alone?"
“He’s much better,” Xiao Ruoyi said. “His muscles just need to be gradually restored through exercise, but otherwise he’s just like a normal person.”
"That's good."
"Then I won't say anything more."
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Ruoyi stood by the window for a while before returning to her ward.
As soon as she entered, she saw Huo Xianyang.
Some of the equipment was placed in the ward, and Huo Xianyang was exercising there.
Beads of sweat glistened on his forehead. He looked up and saw that the man was still as handsome as ever.
"I'll ask you one more time, Huo Xianyang, do you want to marry me?"
Huo Xianyang looked at her, his deep affection evident in his eyes.
He said, "Yiyi, you have to give me a reason to agree."
“When you were unconscious and undergoing emergency treatment, the doctor said that a family member needed to sign,” Xiao Ruoyi said. “But I wasn’t qualified to sign.”
Huo Xianyang was stunned.
Xiao Ruoyi continued, "Is this reason acceptable?"
