Chapter 52: Same Bed, Different Dreams
Shen Nanxing stood far away from Huo Yunting.
She was really afraid of him.
She dared to unlock her phone only after making sure that he would not make any further moves. She checked the important things and found nothing unusual.
But she didn't dare to take Huo Yunting lightly at all.
"You didn't touch the things on my phone, did you?"
Huo Yunting put his hands under his head and stared at the ceiling with his eyelashes trembling slightly when he heard the words.
Of course he deleted the message sent by Pei Fuyan.
Seeing her nervous look, Huo Yunting felt a little uncomfortable. She came here specially and even kissed the person she hated the most. Could it be because of the text message Pei Fuyan sent her?
He thought about it and felt that he was worrying too much.
Because no one can take anything away from you.
"What can you have that I would care about?" Huo Yunting said sarcastically.
Seeing him return to his normal sarcastic self, Ana Shen was half-believing and half-doubting.
“There is no best.”
She also threw his phone onto the bed, "Give it back to you."
"It's a matter of reciprocity. Since you doubt whether I touched your phone, what about you?"
Ana Shen’s heart tightened and he looked away.
"We're both CEOs, but other people's phones are ringing non-stop 24 hours a day. It seems you're also quite a failure. My phone hasn't responded to anything all night."
She concealed the fact that He Xiaowen called.
She has learned her lesson now and will not give a drop of blood to that woman again.
I don’t know if it was because her words were too cold, but the atmosphere suddenly became awkward again.
Huo Yunting stared at her coldly. Was she showing off Pei Fuyan or that Guan or something who was very ambitious?
Ana Shen lowered his head, his eyes wandering, and sweat continued to seep out of his palms.
"It...is actually nothing. You have a big family and a big business. If you are too busy, it will not match your status." She added uneasily, rubbing her hands.
silence.
Still silent.
Ana Shen was terrified.
"I'll sleep even if you don't." Huo Yunting turned off the lights directly.
Shen Nanxing huddled in the corner, feeling extremely helpless.
How did she offend him again? Why did he always treat her like this?
Huo Yunting closed his eyes, but there was no movement around him.
After tossing and turning, he still couldn't bear it and got out of bed in the dark.
Suddenly, Ana Shen felt that she was being picked up.
"Ah! Let me go!" Shen Nanxing trembled with fear and struggled while screaming.
The blue veins on Huo Yunting's forehead hadn't been jumping so happily for a long time.
"Shut up!" He was angry and helpless. "Didn't you say I only have feelings for He Xiaowen?"
Now that the words have been spoken, Ana Shen feels much more at ease.
But, it's still not right.
"But for you men, isn't it all the same when the lights are turned off?" Ana Shen retorted.
“…”
Where does she get so many twisted ideas?
Besides, Huo Yunting can't eat everything.
"If you keep arguing, you'll really be finished!"
Huo Yunting threatened, but as soon as he finished speaking, the person in his arms suddenly became as quiet as a kitten, not daring to breathe.
He was a little uncomfortable with her well-behaved appearance.
The darkness concealed the smile on his lips.
Huo Yunting placed her on the bed, half on each side.
"If you dare to disturb my sleep, you will know how powerful I am."
After saying this in a very fierce tone, he tucked in a corner of his quilt and went to sleep quietly.
Ana Shen's nerves were tense, and she gradually relaxed when she heard the man's steady breathing.
Time passed by second by second.
Shen Nanxing closed his eyes in panic.
In a daze, she seemed to dream of a mission many years ago, which was her first time to go deep into a foreign battlefield.
It was also her first time meeting Huo Yunting.
In war-torn areas, not only are warlords entrenched and fighting each other, but crime also breeds.
The young girl got separated from the main group due to a sudden gunfight and accidentally got involved in a kidnapping case.
Huo Yunting's parents were blindfolded and hung up, covered in blood.
The young Huo Yunting was beaten black and blue.
It was her unexpected intrusion that suddenly made the peaceful situation tense. In order to protect the safety of the hostages, the police had to take action in advance.
During the melee, a pistol was kicked to Huo Yunting's side.
"Bang!"
The door fell down and a beam of strong light shot in.
Because I lost my key last night, I had to call a professional worker to remove the door early in the morning.
Shen Nanxing opened her eyes in shock, only to realize that there were tears in the corners of her eyes.
Huo Yunting stood next to her, looking down at her.
"You kept crying and saying you were sorry."
Ana Shen suppressed the panic in his heart, his eyes dodging, “I’m having a nightmare.”
"What kind of nightmare would make someone keep crying and apologizing?"
Huo Yunting raised his eyebrows, seeming very interested.
Ana Shen avoided the question and said, “I should go to work.”
She quickly tidied herself up and was about to flee when she heard unusually cold words behind her.
"Xiao Wen's condition has worsened!"
Shen Nanxing felt that the man in front of her was moody and suddenly turned around, "So, you think I cried because I felt guilty about her?" Huo Yunting asked back, "Isn't that so?"
He stared at her sinisterly, pulled out his phone, and played the recording. "This morning, Xiaowen cried and asked me why I ignored her last night. She said she'd called me multiple times, but I checked my phone and there were no call records. But there's no way Xiaowen would lie to me."
"So you must be the one lying." The man said firmly, "My phone has always had an automatic recording function. You deleted the call records. Remember to delete the recordings next time."
Ana Shen’s face turned pale.
The evidence was overwhelming, and she had to admit it.
"So what if I did it? Her life is life, but mine isn't life? Your bottom line can be lowered again and again for him. What about me?"
With tears in her eyes, Ana Shen kept accusing.
"She still wants my blood to keep her alive. Am I wrong to refuse her?! What makes you think I will just listen to you?"
"Oh, is this Mrs. Huo's position?" Shen Nanxing smiled, his body shaking violently due to emotional excitement, his fingers clenched into fists, and his knuckles turned white.
"I haven't wanted this position for a long time. It's you who's been reluctant to let me go. And I hate you two, you bastards. Whether He Xiaowen lives or dies has nothing to do with me!"
Huo Yunting didn't expect such vicious words to come out of her mouth.
He sneered, suppressing his anger. "You really hope Xiaowen dies. If she dies, do you think you'll still be standing here alive? Xiaowen saved my life. Her life is much more precious than yours!"
Every word is a gem.
Ana Shen couldn’t believe her ears, and couldn’t help laughing the next second, “So in your heart, He Xiaowen is more important than me.”
She nodded, thinking it was bad luck.
"I hope you won't regret it one day."
Seeing her out of control, Huo Yunting felt a little distressed, but it was only a little, far less than his concern for He Xiaowen.
"I have to go to work."
Ana Shen turned to leave but was grabbed by the wrist, "Don't change the subject. Xiaowen is still waiting in the hospital. I'm serious."
Ana Shen raised her eyes and looked directly into the man's eyes, with uncompromising written on her face.
"I'm serious, too."
Asking her to give He Xiaowen a blood transfusion? Dream on!
Huo Yunting felt that his patience had been worn out by her. "You have to go today, whether you want to or not!"
