Chapter 161: Beautiful beyond measure
"Can't we let Chen Tian handle it?! Even if you don't work, I can support you for the rest of your life."
There was no warmth in Chi Muzhen's eyes, and her voice was a little cold. "I work because I like it, not because I can't support myself."
"Even if you like it, you can't continue while you're sick. You can't go anywhere today. You must rest well!"
"Huo Yunting, I don't want to argue with you. Those contracts are really important. Besides, I'm not as lucky as Chi Xuan, where someone can easily inject billions into her!"
The ward fell into silence. After a long while, Huo Yunting looked at her and asked, "Are you jealous?"
"I'm not that free!"
"No matter what, I won't let you go back to the company today."
After saying that, he called someone in front of Chi Muzhen and asked them to send two bodyguards to guard the door of the ward.
Chi Muzhen gritted her teeth in anger, "Why do you restrict my freedom?!"
"Because I'm your boyfriend now, and you're not well yet."
She turned her head away coldly, and after being angry for a while, she called Shen Tian and asked Shen Tian to send the contract over.
Who knew that Shen Tian, as if she had discussed it with Huo Yunting, said directly: "Zhenzhen, you should have a good rest today. I will take care of the contract."
"Those contracts are very important. You must be careful."
"I know. Don't worry, I promise nothing will go wrong."
After hanging up the phone, Chi Muzhen glanced at Huo Yunting unhappily and said, "I won't be going back to the company today. Can you leave now?"
Huo Yunting nodded, stood up and left.
Looking at his back, Chi Muzhen suddenly felt a sense of inexplicable grievance in her heart.
Although she was dissatisfied with Huo Yunting's domineering attitude, she was still touched that he stayed by her side when she was sick.
I didn't expect that when I asked him to leave, he actually left!
But she couldn't bring herself to ask him to stay, so she simply turned her eyes away from him.
The ward door opened and closed, and the whole ward fell into silence.
Half an hour later, just when Chi Muzhen was drowsy, the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open, which scared her so much that she lost her sleepiness.
Seeing Huo Yunting coming back, she frowned and asked, "Why did you come back?!"
Huo Yunting acted as if he didn't notice her ugly expression. He walked to the bedside, opened the small table, and took out a bowl of preserved egg and lean meat porridge and a bowl of brown sugar ginger water from the food box.
"You didn't eat anything at noon, and the doctor said you should eat light food. I went to buy some porridge."
Chi Muzhen's eyes were filled with disbelief, "Did you go to buy porridge just now?"
"What else?"
As he spoke, he handed the spoon to Chi Muzhen.
Chi Muzhen pursed her lips. She was indeed a little hungry now.
"Thanks."
She took the spoon and lowered her head to drink the porridge, and something in her heart seemed to warm up.
After she finished the porridge, Huo Yunting asked her to drink some brown sugar ginger water, then he packed up his things and sat down beside the bed.
"Does your stomach still hurt now?"
Chi Muzhen shook her head and said, "It's much better now."
"Well, regarding the investment in Jinxiu, I didn't know you were the CEO of MY at the time, and I owed her this. Later..."
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Chi Muzhen, "I don't want to hear about your past with her. I just hope you can keep your promise to me."
Huo Yunting was silent for a while, then nodded and said, "Okay."
The previously warm atmosphere became a little cold when Huo Yunting mentioned Chi Xuan.
Neither of them spoke anymore. They both knew very well that Chi Xuan was a thorn between them, always hurting each other inadvertently.
The initiative to remove this thorn lies with Huo Yunting.
After the IV drip, the doctor prescribed some medicine for Chi Muzhen and then Huo Yunting sent her back to the villa.
"Go back to your bedroom and rest. Call me if you need anything. I'll be in the study."
Chi Muzhen pursed her lips and said slowly: "I feel much better now. You can go to the company. Everything will be fine."
"No, I can handle my work in the study."
Seeing that he insisted, Chi Muzhen didn't say anything else, nodded and went back to the bedroom.
She lay on the bed to rest and fell asleep soon. In a daze, she seemed to see Huo Yunting enter the bedroom and leave again not long after.
When I woke up again, it was almost dark.
Chi Muzhen slowly sat up and just turned on the light when she saw a cup of warm milk on the bedside table.
She got up, washed up, and planned to sit in the living room for a while.
As soon as I opened the bedroom door, I smelled the aroma of food.
Surprise flashed in her eyes. She walked to the kitchen door and was stunned when she saw the figure in an apron busy in front of the stove.
Just as she was in a daze, Huo Yunting turned around and saw her standing at the door. He said, "Go watch some TV first. Dinner will be ready soon."
"good."
More than ten minutes later, Huo Yunting brought the soup to the table and called out to Chi Muzhen who was watching TV in the living room.
"It's time for dinner."
Chi Muzhen stood up and walked to the dining table. There were three dishes and a soup on the table. They looked delicious. Even someone like her who loved spicy food felt her appetite was aroused.
Huo Yunting came out with the rice and handed one of the bowls to her.
"You're such a good cook?"
"I made it according to the recipe, so it may not taste good."
Chi Muzhen picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and smiled unconsciously after tasting it, "It's delicious."
"Then eat more."
Huo Yunting's expression was indifferent, but there was a smile in his eyes. It was obvious that Chi Muzhen's words pleased him.
After dinner, Chi Muzhen wanted to take the initiative to clean up the dishes, but was stopped by Huo Yunting.
"You go rest on the sofa, I'll do it."
"I'm much better now."
"That's not necessary."
Under Huo Yunting's insistence, Chi Muzhen had no choice but to nod and walk towards the sofa.
As soon as I sat down on the sofa, the doorbell rang.
The person who came was Cheng Shumin. Seeing Huo Yunting clearing the dishes, her expression changed and she said, "Yunting, put down the bowl. You are the president of Huo Group. How can you waste your time doing this kind of thing?"
While speaking, Cheng Shumin looked at Chi Muzhen with some dissatisfaction.
Housework should be a woman's job, but Chi Muzhen actually sat on the sofa watching TV and let her son do it!
Huo Yunting didn't even pause for a second as he said calmly, "Mom, what's the matter with you coming here?"
Seeing that he didn't listen to her, Cheng Shumin stepped forward and wanted to help him, but was rejected by Huo Yunting.
Huo Yunting didn't leave the kitchen until he had put the dishes in the dishwasher and washed his hands. He looked at Cheng Shumin, who seemed a little dazed, and said, "Let's go to the study and talk."
The two of them entered the study, and Cheng Shumin came out soon.
Before leaving, she couldn't help but look at Chi Muzhen and said, "Muzhen, housework is a woman's job. Yun Ting is very busy at work. Don't let him waste his time doing this kind of thing next time."
Chi Muzhen had only been maintaining a superficial peace with her. Upon hearing this, she said directly, "If Ms. Cheng doesn't like it, you can hire a nanny for Mr. Huo."
"you!"
Cheng Shumin looked at her angrily and said coldly, "If it were Xuanxuan, she would never let Yunting do such a thing!"
Chi Muzhen found it a little funny and looked at Cheng Shumin and said, "Then ask Chi Xuan how much it costs to hire her as a nanny per month. I think Mr. Huo should be able to afford it."
"Don't be ungrateful!"
Chi Muzhen frowned and was about to speak when Huo Yunting's cold voice rang out.
"Mom, this is a matter between me and Chi Muzhen. If you don't like it, you can come here less often in the future."
Cheng Shumin's eyes were filled with disbelief as she looked at Huo Yunting sadly.
"Yun Ting, I'm doing this for your own good, and you're actually helping Chi Muzhen to contradict me?!"
