Huo Beixiao held the little woman tightly in his arms, not daring to let go. He could only touch her forehead with his lips to check if her temperature had gone down.
To everyone's surprise, the young woman, who was still in a high fever and unconscious, reacted with extraordinary speed.
Just as his lips were about to leave hers, she suddenly looked up and her two lips, flushed red from a fever, captured his.
Huo Beixiao was stunned and momentarily forgot what to do.
Despite her hazy consciousness, Jiang Qiaoqiao only felt warm and comfortable, and she subconsciously wanted to get more.
Unconsciously, she wrapped her arms around Huo Beixiao's neck and began to conquer him, taking whatever she wanted.
She felt that her body was no longer as bone-chillingly cold as before, and she gradually warmed up.
Just like that rainy night many years ago, the heavy rain softened the soil on the back mountain.
The mudslide rushed down the mountain and destroyed their house.
She hid in the triangular space formed after the beam collapsed, hungry and cold, and was almost losing consciousness.
Just then, a hand dug through the thick mud on her head and reached out to her, saying, "Take my hand, I'll pull you up."
Those hands felt so comfortable and warm, just like this person's lips right now...
Huo Beixiao held Jiang Qiaoqiao's hand even tighter. As a normal man, he had been sharing a bed with his wife for some time now, and she was not well-behaved, always snuggling into his arms while sleeping.
He could only watch and couldn't eat; he was already bursting with pent-up desire.
At this moment, the warm, soft woman was not only in his arms, but also igniting desire everywhere, especially her nimble little tongue, which sent waves of tingling and trembling through his entire body...
His deep eyes were completely dark.
My self-control, which I had always been proud of, crumbled in that instant.
He held the petite woman's soft waist with one large hand and cupped the back of her head with the other, taking the initiative and deepening the kiss...
"Boss Huo, sister-in-law..."
Just then, Xu Yizhou, who was worried about Jiang Qiaoqiao's condition, came out from the inner room.
I had just arrived at the door when I saw this scene, "Holy crap..."
Xu Yizhou cursed under his breath, rushed over, grabbed Huo Beixiao's shoulder, and pulled him up.
"You beast! Boss Huo, are you even human? Your wife is so sick, and you still have the heart to lay a hand on her, you..."
Xu Yizhou pointed at Huo Beixiao, both angry and anxious, but for a moment he couldn't think of the right words to scold him.
Looking into Huo Beixiao's eyes, all I could see was disappointment.
He had been completely fooled by Huo Beixiao's sanctimonious appearance.
I never imagined that beneath his sanctimonious exterior lay such a beastly and filthy heart. No wonder he broke the bed and twisted his back like that last time!
Serves him right!
Why didn't his waist break directly?
Although Huo Beixiao knew he was in the wrong, he still said confidently, "We are a legally married couple."
Xu Yizhou:......
He almost laughed out of anger at Huo Beixiao's shamelessness. "Fine, you're a legally married couple! But before you can be someone's husband, you have to be a decent human being first! His wife is so sick, and you..."
By this time, Jiang Qiaoqiao was covered in sweat, her fever had subsided, and her mind was gradually clearing.
Hearing the noise around her, she frowned and then opened her eyes and woke up.
When she saw Xu Yizhou, she was still a little dazed. "Dr. Xu, what are you doing in our house?"
Xu Yizhou could only swallow back the words he was about to say.
Even if Huo Beixiao is a scoundrel, he's still his brother.
He could only glare at Huo Beixiao, force a smile, and say to Jiang Qiaoqiao, "Sister-in-law, it's not that I'm at your house. You had a fever, so Boss Huo brought you here to me so I could treat you."
"I have a fever?" Jiang Qiaoqiao asked, puzzled, and subconsciously raised her hand to touch her forehead.
Huo Beixiao nodded. "Yes, I just got an injection in my buttocks, so my fever should have gone down by now."
Jiang Qiaoqiao gave an awkward smile, "No wonder my butt hurts a little."
"I'm sorry, Dr. Xu, I misunderstood."
Xu Yizhou waved his hands repeatedly, "It's alright, sister-in-law. It's getting late. Now that your fever has gone down, you should go back and get some rest. My place is small, and you probably won't be comfortable sleeping here."
After leaving the infirmary, Jiang Qiaoqiao looked back one last time.
Xu Yizhou grinned and waved at her, then glared at Huo Beixiao warningly before slamming the door shut.
It was Xu Yizhou's glare at Huo Beixiao that made Jiang Qiaoqiao suddenly grasp the strange feeling that had just flashed through her mind.
Could it be that Dr. Xu has feelings for Huo Beixiao...?
The answer that was about to emerge was churning in her mind. She was in shock when suddenly her body was lifted into the air.
She instinctively hugged Huo Beixiao's neck tightly, "What are you doing?"
Huo Beixiao looked down at her with deep eyes and said, "Your high fever has just subsided, and you are still very weak. You need to rest. I'll carry you back."
Jiang Qiaoqiao did feel that her legs were a little weak.
Hearing Huo Beixiao say that, she didn't refuse.
She continued to ponder her astonishing discovery, and after thinking about it for a while, she tentatively asked, "Bei Xiao, is Dr. Xu still unmarried?"
Huo Beixiao frowned.
Why would a young woman suddenly care about Xu Yizhou?
Xu Yizhou has a gentle and refined appearance, wears gold-rimmed glasses, and has the look of a cultured person, which makes him very popular with girls.
Could it be...?
His expression darkened, but he still answered truthfully, "No."
Jiang Qiaoqiao naturally noticed Huo Beixiao's gloomy expression.
Huo Beixiao is usually a very emotionally stable person, so why did she become unhappy when she inquired about Dr. Xu's marital status?
Could it be that Dr. Xu's feelings for Huo Beixiao weren't one-sided, but rather a mutual one...?
Is it possible that the reason Huo Beixiao never consummated his marriage with Jiang Yiran in his past life was because of Dr. Xu...?
Jiang Qiaoqiao: !!!
Was she married to a gay man?
She composed herself, cleared her throat, and continued, "Does Dr. Xu have a boyfriend?"
This time, Huo Beixiao frowned noticeably, remained silent for a while, and then spoke, "No."
Jiang Qiaoqiao: ...
"So, are you and him particularly close?"
Huo Beixiao was silent for a moment, then said, "It's alright."
Jiang Qiaoqiao was almost certain of it.
Dr. Xu glared at Huo Beixiao just now because she was jealous that Huo Beixiao carried her to the infirmary.
Why!
She sighed inwardly, thankfully nothing substantial had happened between her and Huo Beixiao yet.
Moreover, she never intended to find a man in her life, so even if she was labeled a "wife of a gay man," she didn't care that much.
"Cough cough!"
She cleared her throat. "Um... Bei Xiao, please put me down. My legs aren't weak anymore, I feel like I can walk on my own."
The moment she finished speaking, she immediately felt a chill emanating from Huo Beixiao's body, almost freezing her to the bone!
