Yun Suiwan stared blankly at Huo Beichen.
Huo Beichen pushed up his glasses with his finger. "Miss Yun, have you noticed that the red spots on your palms are becoming more and more noticeable?"
Yun Suiwan subconsciously looked at her hands and clenched her fists.
“Mr. Huo, this is our first meeting today.”
How could he know so much about his poisoning?
At this moment, Yun Suiwan couldn't help but feel more wary of him.
Huo Beichen maintained a faint smile throughout. "Miss Yun, I'm here to help you. You saved my son; you're a benefactor of the Huo family. I won't harm you."
The more Yun Suiwan heard him speak like this, the more wary she became of him.
She was a complete stranger to Huo Beichen. Yet he seemed to know so much about what had happened to her.
"Excuse me, I've been out for too long, I need to go back now."
After saying that, Yun Suiwan walked past him and was about to leave.
Huo Beichen didn't stop her, but looked at her and said, "Does Miss Yun want to kill Mr. Lu?"
Upon hearing this, Yun Suiwan paused in his tracks.
Huo Beichen walked towards her and stood beside her.
"The poison of the Albizia julibrissin is a chronic poison that slowly erodes your internal organs. First, you experience unbearable itching, then your limbs ulcerate, and finally, all your organs slowly rot."
Huo Beichen's voice wasn't loud, but it sent chills down Yun Suiwan's spine.
“Miss Yun, don’t be afraid. Since I’ve come to you, it means I can save you.”
"How can you save me?" Yun Suiwan asked coldly.
Huo Beichen's thin lips curved slightly, his eyes filled with laughter, "Marry me."
"..."
Upon hearing this, Yun Suiwan immediately took a step back. "What are you saying?"
"Marry me, and I'll give you the antidote to save you."
"Huh? Mr. Huo, are you joking? This joke isn't funny at all. I don't care where you found out about me, do you think I'd be so easily fooled by you?"
Yun Suiwan's expression changed. Huo Beichen was really something else; he actually treated his son's "savior" like this.
“Miss Yun, judging from your condition, you have taken both Yin and Yang medicines. If it is not a special antidote, even a great immortal cannot save you.”
“Lu Dongjue can do it! He can save me. As long as he's here, I'll be fine.”
Yun Suiwan now desperately wants to return to Lu Dongjue's side because she feels an unprecedented danger from Huo Beichen.
He always smiled gently, but his eyes were like those of a lone wolf, extremely aggressive.
However, she couldn't figure out what he was trying to do.
“Mr. Lu? He has the unique blood of the Lu family. If you unite with him, it will only aggravate your poisoning.”
"..."
Yun Suiwan looked at Huo Beichen in astonishment. Why did he also know about Lu Dongjue's secret?
"If you insist on being with him, the end result will be that you will be crippled and he will die."
"You're talking nonsense! Someone has already told us that his blood can alleviate my poison in a critical moment."
"Heh, you yourself said it's just for relief. Have you ever thought about what kind of person would drink someone else's blood?"
Yun Suiwan pursed her lips tightly. She wanted to escape; she didn't want to hear a single word he said.
“Miss Yun, the person who poisoned you is extremely malicious. He not only wants your life, but also Mr. Lu’s.”
Yun Suiwan's heart sank. "Enough! Stop talking. You don't want us to fall out, do you?"
“Miss Yun, you don’t believe me? That’s right, after all, we’ve only just met. In three days, the red dot on your palm will grow bigger again, and then you will feel an excruciating itch.”
Yun Suiwan didn't want to listen to his nonsense, so she quickly left.
Back in the private room, seeing her panicked expression, Lu Dongjue stood up and grabbed her hand, asking, "What happened?"
Yun Suiwan's face was deathly pale, her lips were dry, and she said in a hoarse voice, "Let's go, I don't want to eat anymore, I want to go home!"
Upon hearing Yun Suiwan's words, the others were taken aback. With guests present, leaving now would be somewhat against the rules.
At this moment, Huo Beichen walked in.
Upon seeing Huo Beichen, Yun Suiwan panicked and immediately leaned into Lu Dongjue's arms.
Lu Dongjue frowned slightly, noticing her unusual behavior.
"Mr. Huo, I'm sorry, my girlfriend isn't feeling well, so we'll head back now. I'll treat you next time."
Lu Dongjue put his arm around Yun Suiwan's shoulder and noticed that her body was trembling.
He couldn't help but look at her again.
"Okay," Huo Beichen said calmly.
Lu Dongjue didn't say anything more, but left directly with Yun Suiwan.
After leaving the private room, he asked in a low voice, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Lu Dongjue thought she was having an episode.
Yun Suiwan shook her head, clutching Lu Dongjue's sleeve tightly. "Take me away quickly!"
"Um."
After getting on the bus, the two of them sat in the back.
Yun Suiwan threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly.
This dependent demeanor surprised Lu Dongjue, because even if she loved him deeply, she had never acted this way before.
Lu Dongjue hugged her back and gently kissed the top of her head. "It's alright, let's go home now."
"Um."
Yun Suiwan buried her face in Lu Dongjue's arms. Whether it was psychological or something else, she suddenly felt her palms starting to heat up.
Gradually, she felt a burning sensation in her palm.
Yun Suiwan was terrified; she had never been so afraid before.
She and Lu Dongjue had just started to have some progress, but now she's in this situation.
Who exactly is Huo Beichen? What is his purpose in suddenly appearing?
"Huo Beichen, are you familiar with him?" Yun Suiwan asked in a hoarse voice.
“Our two families had some connections in the previous generations. I’m not familiar with him, but I’m quite familiar with Huo Xiaowu.”
"What's wrong?"
Yun Suiwan gently shook her head.
Whether Huo Beichen's sudden appearance is aimed at him or Lu Dongjue is currently unknown.
Lu Dongjue gently patted her back and asked, "What's wrong? What happened? Are you feeling unwell?"
She shook her head again.
She had never shown such vulnerability in front of him before, and Lu Dongjue couldn't help but hug her tighter.
"Lu Dongjue, Yun Wanqing has been released on bail."
"Um?"
“She has someone to bail her out; she has now been diagnosed with a mental illness, and in the end, she may not be convicted.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Dongjue released her. "When did this happen? Who protected her?"
"Today, I don't know exactly who she was. She's been released, and I don't know where she went."
Lu Dongjue frowned slightly; Yun Wanqing's matter had come so suddenly.
She's only been detained for a few days? How can she get a certificate of mental illness?
"Yun Wanqing is no simple woman," Lu Dongjue said calmly.
Yun Suiwan leaned on his shoulder, feeling down.
"Is it because of this that you're unhappy?" Lu Dongjue laughed. "Don't worry, with me here, she won't cause any trouble."
"no."
"What is that?"
"I think I'm going to die." After saying that, she couldn't help but sigh. She opened her palm, and the red mark on her palm became even more obvious.
“I know what you’re worried about. I’ve sent people to look for it, and we have news. We should be able to find someone to cure you by tomorrow.”
Upon hearing this, Yun Suiwan sat up straight and exclaimed in surprise, "Really?"
Lu Dongjue nodded.
"Oh my god, Lu Dongjue, you're so great!"
Lu Dongjue is simply her lucky star; this is the best news she has heard so far!
She happily wrapped her arms around Lu Dongjue's neck.
"Lu Dongjue, let's get married after I'm cured of the poison!"
