Chapter 269: Smoothing things over
"Zhenzhen, do you... not love me anymore..."
His restrained and low voice came from behind him, with a hint of caution and fear.
Chi Muzhen pursed her lips, turned her head and looked at him and said slowly: "I didn't, it's just that the company has been busy for the past six months, so I may have neglected you sometimes."
"Really?"
Huo Yunting stared into her eyes closely, as if he didn't want to miss any emotion in her eyes.
"Well, you must be very tired after your business trip. Go and rest first."
"good."
Huo Yunting let go of her, turned around and was about to leave when his cell phone suddenly rang.
When he saw it was Chi Xuan, a cold look flashed in his eyes and he hung up the phone directly.
Chi Muzhen lowered her eyes, turned around and went upstairs.
Back in the bedroom, she lay on the bed, wanting to sleep but not feeling sleepy at all.
The scene where Huo Yunting asked her whether she still loved him unconsciously emerged in her mind, and she felt a little annoyed.
She was very sure that she didn't like anyone else, but she didn't know how she felt about Huo Yunting.
After all, she had been tired of Chi Xuan appearing in their lives at every opportunity in the past six months.
When they went out to eat together, Chi Xuan would suddenly have a stomachache and call Huo Yunting for help, although in the end Huo Yunting would only ask Ke Ning to go over and see what was going on.
When they went to Heyuan to visit Old Mrs. Huo, Chi Xuan would suddenly show up with a bunch of gifts.
Even though she said that the child in her belly had nothing to do with the Huo family, how could Mrs. Huo really be so cruel as to disown him?
When they planned to go out for a trip together, Chi Xuan would always ask Cheng Shumin to find various opportunities and excuses to stop them.
It was obvious that the Huo family owed Chi Xuan a favor, but it was her relationship with Huo Yunting that was affected.
She had no right to say that the Huo family or Huo Yunting had done anything wrong, but Chi Xuan's existence was indeed like a thorn in her heart.
It won't hurt much, but it will prick her from time to time, reminding her that the other person has already penetrated into their lives, and will occupy an increasingly larger proportion in the future.
Thinking of this, Chi Muzhen buried his head in the pillow irritably, unwilling to think about it anymore.
Downstairs, Chi Xuan called one after another, and Huo Yunting finally answered the call.
"What's up?"
His voice was cold, even annoyed.
If it weren't for the fact that the Huo family owed Chi Xuan a favor, he would never see her again.
"Brother Yunting, I... I was in a car accident..."
Huo Yunting frowned and said coldly: "You should call the police, not me!"
"I only trust you. My stomach hurts so much right now. Will the baby be okay?"
Chi Xuan's voice was filled with panic and fear, and it seemed that she was really scared.
Huo Yunting was silent for a few seconds, then stood up and said, "Where is it? I'll be there right away!"
He took this opportunity to make it clear to Chi Xuan that he would no longer have any contact with her.
Huo Yunting arrived at the accident scene almost at the same time as the ambulance and sent Chi Xuan to the hospital for examination. It was already past two in the afternoon.
The doctor handed the report to Huo Yunting, "Mr. Huo, Miss Chi is not injured, she is just frightened, and the baby in her belly is fine."
Huo Yunting nodded coldly, "I understand."
After the doctor left, he turned and walked into the ward, placed the report on the table, and looked down at Chi Xuan and said, "This is the last time I will answer your call, and the last time I will deal with your affairs. If you have any problems in the future, just call Ke Ning directly."
The smile on Chi Xuan's face froze, and her eyes were full of disbelief.
"Brother Yunting...you promised me before...to take care of me until I give birth. Have you forgotten?"
Huo Yunting looked at her coldly, "I did promise you, but I regret it now."
Chi Xuan had told him that as long as he took care of her until she gave birth to the child, the favors owed to her by the Huo family would be written off.
Huo Yunting agreed at that time, but in return, the distance between him and Chi Muzhen became increasingly greater in the past six months. Only now did he realize what a stupid decision he had made.
Chi Xuan bit her lower lip, tears flashing in her eyes.
"Is it because of my sister?"
"Um."
Seeing him admit it without hesitation, the tears in her eyes finally fell, and she looked at him with a wronged expression.
"Is my sister so narrow-minded?! Is she afraid that your old feelings for me will rekindle? So she won't let you continue to take care of me?!"
Huo Yunting looked at her calmly, "You're overthinking it. She has no problem with me taking care of you, but I don't want to put her in a difficult position anymore."
"Grievance? Don't I feel wronged?! It was me who fell in love with you first. If it weren't for what happened later, I should be carrying your child now!"
"Chi Xuan!"
Huo Yunting's eyes flashed with impatience, and his gaze was as cold as snow. "What happened in the past is in the past. I don't want to mention it anymore. I also hope you can get over it soon. It's impossible for us to be together!"
Chi Xuan clutched the quilt tightly and spoke slowly, "It's impossible, so I haven't thought about having anything to do with you. I just hope you can take care of me until I give birth to the child. Is that wrong?"
"I will repay the favor the Huo family owes you in other ways. Don't call me again!"
After saying that, Huo Yunting turned around and left.
Chi Xuan looked at his back, and the aggrieved expression on her face gradually turned into a sneer.
It seems that her efforts in the past six months have been very useful. Now there is a problem in the relationship between Huo Yunting and Chi Muzhen. When the time is right, she can tell Chi Muzhen about it!
As Huo Yunting reached the corner of the corridor, he was suddenly punched.
The opponent was very strong, and he took a few steps back before he could stand firm, and a sharp pain came from his cheekbone.
As soon as I raised my eyes, I met a pair of eyes full of anger.
"Huo Yunting, I hid that matter from you because I wanted Mu Zhen to be happy with you. But you came to the hospital to take care of the pregnant Chi Xuan. What do you think of Mu Zhen?!"
When Huo Yunting saw the hospital gown on Shi Yiheng, he was stunned for a moment. Something flashed through his mind quickly, but he couldn't grasp it.
"This is my personal matter. It's not the turn of Mr. Shi to ask about it."
Shi Yiheng sneered, "If it weren't for Mu Zhen, do you think I would be willing to care about your mess?!"
Huo Yunting's expression turned cold. "Zhenzhen is my girlfriend. I will explain everything I do to her."
"Does she know you're here to take care of another woman late at night?"
"I told you, it's not your turn to care!"
Shi Yiheng's eyes instantly became even angrier, and he raised his fist to hit Huo Yunting again.
This time, Huo Yunting stopped his hand and said coldly, "Emperor Shi, since you saved Zhenzhen once, I won't bother with you this time. But if there's a next time..."
Before he could finish his words, Shi Yiheng interrupted him impatiently.
"What if it happens again? Are you planning to ban me, or are you planning to bring down the Shi family?"
Seeing the fearlessness in Shi Yiheng's eyes, Huo Yunting's eyes became even colder.
"Since Mr. Shi knows the consequences, he should never appear in front of me and her again!"
