Chapter 749: Love between a Man and a Concubine
"Ms. Xiao, I raised a failed son. I feel sorry for Third Young Master Xiao and for you..."
Looking at his guilty expression, Xiao Muzhen frowned.
"Boss Shi, even though this incident didn't cause any major consequences, I can't forgive Shi Yiheng."
She wouldn't call the police on him, but she couldn't pretend nothing had happened.
"Ms. Xiao, I am willing to compensate you. I am willing to do whatever I can...as long as you don't pursue this matter anymore..."
"I won't pursue it, but the victim in this matter is not me, but someone else."
Shi Xingguo nodded. "I understand. When Miss Yun returns to the capital, I will personally apologize. I will also properly arrange for Huo Zimeng and Miss Chi. I only hope that they can let Yiheng go..."
Xiao Muzhen looked at Xiao Zhuan, "Third brother, what are you going to do?"
Whether Xiao Zhuan chooses to call the police or keep quiet, Xiao Muzhen will respect his choice.
Xiao Zhuan was silent for a few seconds, then said in a deep voice, "Forget it, I haven't suffered any serious injuries."
Rather than hatred, Xiao Zhuan felt more sympathy for Shi Yiheng.
If he had not never felt any love since childhood and had suffered all kinds of hardships, he would not have clung to Xiao Muzhen like a piece of driftwood.
After all, Shi Xingguo was the culprit for Shi Yiheng's becoming like this.
"Thank you, Third Master Xiao! Thank you!"
Shi Xingguo left with gratitude.
After the ward quieted down again, Xiao Muzhen raised an eyebrow and looked at him, "Third brother, this doesn't seem like your style. Even if you intend to forgive Shi Yiheng, why don't you want any compensation?"
Xiao Zhuan smiled and said, "I have forgiven Shi Yiheng now. When I renew the contract with the Shi family next year, they will definitely make concessions."
"So you're waiting for the Shi family here, but that's as you should."
Compared to those concessions, she would rather Xiao Zhuan had not been locked up for two days and two nights.
"By the way, Mom and the others are planning to announce your engagement with Shi Yiheng tomorrow."
"oh……"
If Xiao Zhuan hadn't told her, she would have forgotten about it.
Seeing her indifferent expression, Xiao Zhuan couldn't help but ask, "What are you and Huo Yunting going to do?"
From Xun Zi, Xiao Zhuan learned that it was Huo Yunting who found him this time, and also learned the truth about Huo Yunting's previous engagement with Guo Zhenzhen.
He felt it was a pity if Xiao Muzhen and Huo Yunting missed each other like this.
Xiao Muzhen was stunned for a moment, then pursed her lips and said, "My personality is not compatible with his. If we get back together, we will still break up for various reasons. So I don't have any thoughts now."
"Well, it's true that you both have strong personalities, but I think he should be willing to change for you."
Xiao Muzhen lowered his head and began to peel the orange in his hand, his tone a little cold.
"Let's talk about it later. I know he got engaged to Guo Zhenzhen to save me, and I'm very grateful, but the pain of his betrayal was also real. I don't plan to start over with him now. Let nature take its course."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xun Zi's voice suddenly came from the door.
"Mr. Huo, are you here to see Zhuan? Why don't you come in?"
Xiao Muzhen turned around and saw Xun Zi pushing open the door of the ward and pulling Huo Yunting into the ward with an enthusiastic look on her face.
Ever since Huo Yunting saved Xiao Zhuan, Xun Zi has been full of gratitude towards Huo Yunting, and her attitude towards him has become much better than before.
Xiao Muzhen didn't know how much of what she said just now was heard by Huo Yunting, but even if he was there, she would still say the same thing.
After entering the ward, Xun Zi saw Xiao Muzhen there. Her eyes turned and she said quickly, "Zhenzhen, come and wash the fruit. I'll take Ah Zhuan for a walk. You entertain Mr. Huo."
Xiao Zhuan had only eaten half of an orange when he was pulled away by Xun Zi before he could say anything.
Please, he's still a patient, okay?!
Xiao Muzhen looked at the fruit Xun Zi stuffed into her hands and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Anyone who couldn't see that Xun Zi wanted to match her with Huo Yunting was a fool.
"Mr. Huo, please sit down. I'll go wash the fruit."
"No, I don't want to eat."
"Let me wash some."
She found a fruit basket, poured the fruit into it, and turned to walk towards the kitchen.
As soon as she turned on the water, a slender hand reached out from behind her and took the basket from her hand.
"Let me do it."
"No, I can do it myself. There's no point in asking a guest to do the work."
"Water-cooled."
Meeting his unquestionable gaze, Xiao Muzhen slowly tightened her grip and stopped insisting.
Huo Yunting took off his suit and handed it to her, "Help me hold it."
Xiao Muzhen took the coat, which still retained his body temperature and his unique pine scent. Her hands holding the suit unconsciously tightened slightly.
Huo Yunting didn't look at her again. He turned around and rolled up the cuffs of his shirt, revealing a section of his muscular forearm.
Xiao Muzhen had nothing to do, so she could only watch him wash the fruit. As she watched, she became distracted unconsciously until her cell phone rang.
"Help me pick it up."
Xiao Muzhen took out Huo Yunting's cell phone from his pocket. Seeing that Huo Yunting didn't seem to stop at all, he had no choice but to answer the call and put it to his ear.
Huo Yunting was more than twenty centimeters taller than her. Even though he was leaning sideways, she still needed to tiptoe slightly to reach his ear.
The distance between the two of them suddenly became much closer, and they could almost hear each other's breathing.
From her angle, she could see Huo Yunting's resolute chin, thin lips, and eyes as black as ink...
Unconsciously, Xiao Muzhen's gaze fell on his lips.
The person on the other end seemed to be reporting to him, and he only responded occasionally.
As if he noticed her gaze, he lowered his eyes to look at her, his eyes full of undisguised love.
His gaze was too scorching, and Xiao Muzhen looked away awkwardly, but her heart skipped a few beats unconsciously.
Although she knew very well that they were not suitable, she couldn't help but feel moved when she saw him.
Soon, the call ended.
Just as Xiao Muzhen was about to withdraw her hand, a slightly cold big hand gripped her wrist.
"Zhenzhen, I can clearly feel that you still have feelings for me, why are you pushing me away?"
Xiao Muzhen frowned and said in a deep voice, "Let me go."
"Why don't you answer my question?"
He stared into her eyes, as if he was determined to get an answer.
Xiao Muzhen shook off his hand, looked away and said, "Mr. Huo, I do still have feelings for you, and I still feel moved when I see you, but we are not suitable for each other, and I don't want to repeat the same mistakes."
As soon as he finished speaking, a low laugh from the man came from above his head.
Xiao Muzhen looked up at him, feeling confused.
"why are you laughing?"
"Zhenzhen, I'm very happy to hear you say you still have feelings for me."
There was undisguised joy on his face, and a hint of smile appeared in his originally cold eyes, as if ice and snow had melted.
His heartbeat seemed to be out of control again, and Xiao Muzhen turned around and wanted to leave.
The next second, a slender hand clasped her waist.
