Chapter 359: Can't Let Go
Zhao Tianrui seemed to have just noticed Xun Zi next to him and quickly said, "Aunt Xun, I'm sorry, I didn't notice you just now. I was too worried about Miss Xiao..."
Seeing the sincerity in his eyes, Xun Zi had a very good impression of him and said with a smile: "It's okay, you didn't go to work today?"
Zhao Tianrui smiled embarrassedly and said, "I just came to see Miss Xiao and will go to the company later."
Xun Zi could clearly see that Zhao Tianrui obviously liked Xiao Muzhen and seemed to want to pursue her.
Compared to Huo Yunting, Zhao Tianrui is simply a very good choice.
She smiled and said, "I'm just about to go downstairs to buy breakfast for Zhenzhen. You guys can chat."
After saying that, Xun Zi glanced at Xiao Muzhen, blinked, and said, "Zhenzhen, I'm going to buy you your favorite dumplings. It will take me about half an hour to come back."
Hearing her hint, Xiao Muzhen said helplessly: "Mom, I don't really want to eat that soup dumplings. You can just buy some downstairs in the hospital."
"That won't do. I'll go down first. Call me if you have anything."
As if afraid that Xiao Muzhen would say something else, Xun Zi quickly took her bag and cell phone and left.
Xiao Muzhen: "..."
Zhao Tianrui, who was standing by, also noticed that Xun Zi was trying to match him up with Xiao Muzhen, and the smile on his face became more sincere.
After Xun Zi left, he put the flowers aside and sat down beside the bed.
"Ms. Xiao, I know it's not appropriate to say these words now, but since we first met on the blind date, I have fallen in love with you. Can you give me a chance to pursue you?"
Xiao Muzhen had an indifferent expression, without any joy at being confessed to, and her emotions barely fluctuated at all.
She was about to refuse when a surprised female voice suddenly came from the door.
"Mr. Huo, are you here to see Miss Xiao? Why don't you come in?"
Hearing this, they both looked outside the door at the same time, and sure enough, they saw a tall figure standing there.
Huo Yunting was wearing the same hospital gown as Xiao Muzhen. His face was a little pale, but it did not diminish his handsomeness at all. The hospital gown did not look baggy on him like others. Instead, it looked like haute couture on him.
Xiao Muzhen couldn't help but sigh inwardly, it turns out that a good-looking person will look good even if he is wearing a sack.
However, noticing Huo Yunting's cold gaze fixed on her, his eyes dark and unclear as to what he was thinking, Xiao Muzhen couldn't help but pursed her lips.
"Mr. Huo, I heard that you and your secretary saved me. I was so dizzy yesterday that I didn't have time to thank you. I didn't expect you to come this morning. Thank you so much for what you did yesterday..."
Before she could finish her words, Huo Yunting interrupted her.
"What? Miss Xiao, are you unhappy because I interrupted Mr. Zhao's confession?"
As he spoke, Huo Yunting slowly walked into the ward.
The aura around him was so powerful that the originally spacious ward seemed much more cramped due to his arrival, especially since he was only 1.85 meters tall, which made people feel as if the ceiling had lowered.
Xiao Muzhen was secretly annoyed. She felt that Huo Yunting did it on purpose. He could have just pretended he didn't hear anything.
When Zhao Tianrui saw Huo Yunting, an unnatural look flashed across his eyes. He forced a smile and said, "I didn't expect that the person who saved Mu Zhen was Mr. Huo. Thank you so much!"
When Xiao Muzhen heard him calling her name directly, a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes.
Huo Yunting's expression was icy, not giving Zhao Tianrui any face at all. "I saved her, what are you thanking me for?"
Zhao Tianrui's expression suddenly changed, and the smile on his face almost disappeared.
"Mu Zhen is the person I like, and of course I am very grateful to her for saving my life."
Huo Yunting chuckled. "By the way, I just heard Mr. Zhao confess his love to Miss Xiao. I wonder if Miss Xiao plans to accept it?"
As he finished speaking, the entire ward fell into silence.
Zhao Tianrui's hands hanging at his sides unconsciously clenched into fists, and his eyes became extremely gloomy.
He originally confessed his feelings today just to let Xiao Muzhen understand his feelings, and he didn't expect Xiao Muzhen to agree to him right now. However, after Huo Yunting's interference, Xiao Muzhen is likely to reject him!
Sure enough, the next second, Xiao Muzhen raised his eyes and looked at Zhao Tianrui.
"Mr. Zhao, thank you for your love, but I don't have any plans to start a relationship recently."
Zhao Tianrui reluctantly said, "It's okay. I will stay by your side silently. I have a meeting at the company, so I'll leave first and come to see you next time."
After saying that, Zhao Tianrui left in a hurry. If he had stayed any longer, he didn't know whether Huo Yunting would say something else to make him even more embarrassed.
When there were only two people left in the ward, Xiao Muzhen said calmly, "Boss Huo, thank you and your secretary for saving me. As a thank you, I will discuss with my father and let Xiao Corporation continue to cooperate with Huo Corporation."
Huo Yunting looked straight at her and said word by word, "This is not what I want."
His gaze was too direct, and filled with so much affection that Xiao Muzhen didn't dare to look directly at him. She quickly looked away, and her heart couldn't help but skip a few beats.
After realizing what was happening, Xiao Muzhen couldn't help but feel secretly annoyed. She knew that he was treating her as a substitute for his ex-wife, but she couldn't help but be moved. It seemed that she really needed to find a man.
"Mr. Huo, this is the only way I can repay you. If you want something else, I'm sorry, I can't give it to you."
Hearing the coldness in her voice, Huo Yunting's eyes flashed with disappointment.
"It's okay. I know you don't believe me now, but I will slowly let you see my sincerity towards you."
Xiao Muzhen sneered, "Boss Huo, although I'm very grateful that you saved me, it's a bit shameless to repay a favor, isn't it? You're just using me as a substitute for your ex-wife, but I won't be a substitute for anyone else. All I can do is get the Xiao and Huo companies to resume cooperation. If you need money, you can also name a price."
Huo Yunting's eyes turned cold. He walked to the bedside and suddenly bent down to approach Xiao Muzhen.
She was startled by his action, but did not step back, just stared at him coldly.
As the distance between the two got closer, Xiao Muzhen also smelled the pine scent coming from him and couldn't help frowning.
I have never smelled this scent on anyone else, so why does it feel familiar?
He stared into her eyes and chuckled, "Give money? Then how much do you think your life is worth?"
Xiao Muzhen's eyes flashed with impatience, and he said coldly: "Boss Huo, is this fun for you? It's true that you saved me, but there is no law that stipulates that if you are saved by someone, you must be committed to them, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Yunting whispered, "So you've already thought about this so far? I just want you to give me a chance to get to know each other."
Seeing the teasing in his eyes, Xiao Muzhen frowned, "There's no need to understand. Mr. Huo is not my type, and I have no interest in understanding him."
"I haven't understood it yet, how do you know I'm not interested?"
"Boss Huo, are you interesting like this?"
The disgust in her eyes was undisguised. She looked at him coldly and said, "I hate men who cling to me the most. I hope Mr. Huo can respect himself!"
He had said similar words to Chi Muzhen before, but now that he was saying them to himself, Huo Yunting finally understood how painful it was.
My heart felt like someone was stabbing it with a knife, and it hurt so much that I could hardly breathe.
"Zhenzhen..."
He reached out to touch Xiao Muzhen's face, but before he could, an angry voice came from behind him.
"Huo Yunting! What are you doing to Zhenzhen?! Stay away from my daughter!"
As soon as Huo Yunting turned around, Xun Zi angrily threw the porridge in her hand at him!
