Chapter 808: Lowering one's own value
"Um."
The two of them didn't speak anymore, and the ward fell into silence.
After a long while, Jing Xuechu finally spoke: "You've had a headache all day. Go to sleep now. I'll wake you up tomorrow morning."
"Since there's nothing else to do, let's go back to the manor."
While speaking, Huo Yunting stood up, picked up his suit jacket from the sofa and walked out.
Jing Xuechu quickly stood up and followed him, "Yun Ting, why don't you stay in the hospital for observation? I'm afraid you'll have a headache again when you return to the manor."
"No."
Jing Xuechu bit her lower lip and wanted to persuade him again, but she held back after seeing Huo Yunting's cold expression.
After spending half a month together, she knew that Huo Yunting had made a decision and would not change it because of her.
Her hands hanging by her side slowly tightened, and a look of unwillingness flashed in her eyes.
Obviously, he was not like this when he was with Xiao Muzhen. He was also considerate of Xiao Muzhen, and the look he gave her was always filled with subtle tenderness and love.
She originally thought that as long as Huo Yunting could forget Xiao Muzhen and be with her, she would be satisfied.
But now she realized that human desires are endless. When one achieves one's wishes, one will want more.
On the way back to the manor, Huo Yunting remained silent, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Jing Xuechu tried to find topics to talk about several times, but after seeing his cold and secretive expression, she ended up being hesitant to speak.
It wasn't until the car stopped at the gate of the manor that Jing Xuechu mustered up the courage to speak: "Yun Ting, the manor is too big... I'm scared to sleep alone... Can I... sleep with you tonight?"
Huo Yunting frowned. "If you're scared, I can have a servant guard the door. My headache might come back tonight, and I don't want to disturb your rest."
"I'm not afraid that you'll disturb my rest, and if your headache comes back, I can take care of you by your side."
"No, I want to be alone, and I have to get up tomorrow morning to see Yiyi, so you should get some rest early."
After saying that, Huo Yunting turned around and walked quickly towards the manor without caring about her reaction.
Looking at his tall and straight back, Jing Xuechu couldn't help but stamp her feet, with dissatisfaction flashing in her eyes.
No matter how she tried to seduce Huo Yunting during this period, he remained calm, just like Liu Xiahui.
Does he really have no desire for himself?
Because she had never truly become his woman, Jing Xuechu always felt that there was a thick wall between them, and no matter what she did, she could not get into his heart.
Thinking of this, a look of determination flashed in Jing Xuechu's eyes.
Back in the bedroom, Huo Yunting took a shower and was about to go to bed when there was a sudden knock on the door.
While wiping his hair, he walked to the door and opened it. Seeing Jing Xuechu wearing a cool nightgown and holding a bowl of chicken soup in her hand, Huo Yunting frowned.
"Yun Ting, you haven't eaten anything tonight. This is the chicken soup I made specially for you. Have some."
"I don't want to drink."
As he said that, Huo Yunting was about to close the door.
Jing Xuechu quickly held the door with her hand, and the chicken soup in the bowl splashed out because of her action and fell onto her hand.
“Ah…it hurts!”
She screamed, and the chicken soup fell directly to the ground as soon as she loosened her grip, and the bowl of chicken soup shattered into pieces in an instant.
Seeing that Huo Yunting had no reaction at all, she felt very aggrieved and handed her scalded hand to Huo Yunting.
"Yun Ting, look at my hands... they're all burned red..."
Huo Yunting suppressed his inner irritation and said in a deep voice, "Xue Chu, there's no need to use such means to lower your own value."
