Chapter 114 From now on, it will be just the two of us

Huo Dongming took care of Shang Wanwan for several days.

She had a high fever for several days and was talking nonsense.

The family doctor was called and told Huo Dongming not to provoke Shang Wanwan anymore.

Huo Dongming regretted that he had been even worse to her in the past, and she was not that sick.

The better we treated her, the more fragile her heart became.

Huo Dongming sat next to Shang Wanwan. She closed her eyes and her face was flushed. He reached out to touch her forehead, but his fingertips stopped at the corner of her eye.

There is a crystal teardrop hanging there.

She cried—

Huo Dongming wiped it off for her gently and called Dr. Zuo.

He also asked Aunt Zhang to cook some millet porridge, and Aunt Zhang said this when she brought the porridge up.

"Sir, Secretary An is here."

Huo Dongming's eyebrows showed a hint of coldness: "I'll go down right away."

An Lan was standing in the hall. Huo Dongming was wearing a beige sweater and loose trousers. He came down the stairs with an indifferent step.

"Has Yi Xiaxue been here?"

Huo Dongming's cold eyes were mixed with a hint of fierceness, which made An Lan feel cold in her heart.

"Yes, it is."

She closed her eyes slightly, stood there holding her breath, but her body couldn't stop shaking.

"Secretary An, you've been with me for almost five years."

Huo Dongming lit a cigarette, his lips curled into a cold, ruthless arc.

"have--"

She didn't know why Huo Dongming suddenly brought this up.

"If you can't do what I ask you to do, maybe I can consider changing your secretary."

An Lan felt like she had fallen into an ice cellar, chilled from head to toe.

She thought it was Shang Wanwan who had complained. Her stubbornness made her straighten her neck, and her words were full of grievance and dissatisfaction.

"I know that Mrs. Huo doesn't like me. Last time, she said that she had the vote for Mr. Huo's appointment and dismissal. I also know that this is not Mr. Huo's intention. Shang Wanwan is Mrs. Huo. If she really wants to drive me away, I have nothing to say."

Huo Dongming's expression became increasingly gloomy.

"I'm talking about Yi Xiaxue, what are you talking about?"

An Lan's face turned pale instantly. Afraid that Huo Dongming would question him, he simply started to make excuses.

"We all know how Mr. Huo feels about Miss Yi. We also know that you were just angry with Miss Yi last time. I didn't send Miss Yi away because I was afraid that you would regret it.

After all, the United States is not just a few dozen or a few hundred kilometers away from Dongcheng, but thousands of miles away. Once Miss Yi leaves, it will be very troublesome to go through all the procedures when she returns..."

Before she could finish her words, Huo Dongming interrupted her self-righteousness.

"So you're still thinking about me?"

Huo Dongming snorted coldly: "You are getting more and more daring. Who told you to change my decision at will?"

An Lan was dumbfounded.

Is it because of Shang Wanwan that Huo Dongming wants to banish both her and Yi Xiaxue far away?

This is ridiculous.

"Mr. Huo..."

For the first time, An Lan felt a sense of crisis.

"Send Yi Xiaxue away tomorrow. Don't let me see her in East City again."

Huo Dongming put out the cigarette in his hand into the ashtray very hard.

He didn't scold loudly, but An Lan knew that Mr. Huo was really angry.

"Yes, I understand."

I understand. Even Yi Xiaxue can't compete with Shang Wanwan.

Even though she saved Huo Dongming's life, she still fell into Shang Wanwan's hands.

If she doesn't know her place anymore, there won't be any room for her to sit next to Mr. Huo.

"You don't have to come here anymore. You can continue to manage the company's affairs, and I will assign someone else to take over my personal affairs."

Huo Dongming wanted to completely isolate her from his life.

An Lan made a mistake and dared not speak.

She bit her lower lip and tried not to let the tears flow out.

Doctor Zuo came and gave Shang Wanwan an injection to reduce fever, and prescribed three days of medicine, instructing her to rest well during these few days and not to overwork herself.

In the afternoon, Mrs. Chen came by car.

Mrs. Zhang had never met Mrs. Chen and didn't know who she was.

He came over to ask Huo Dongming for instructions, and Huo Dongming left the room and went downstairs.

"Mr. Huo, where's Wanwan? She hasn't come for two days, and she hasn't called me either."

When Mrs. Chen saw Huo Dongming, she began to question him with anxiety in her voice.

Huo Dongming asked her to sit down and had the servant serve her tea.

He sat down opposite Mrs. Chen, his legs crossed, a hint of tenderness between his handsome brows.

"My wife is sick and has a fever. I'm afraid she won't be able to go to class this week."

Huo Dongming still has a good impression of the Chen couple.

Based on his many years of experience in the business world and his knowledge of people, he knew that Mr. and Mrs. Chen really cared about Shang Wanwan and did not seem to have any ulterior motives.

Instead, he took advantage of Shang Wanwan's relationship with the Chen couple to successfully win the contract and once again became a hot topic in East City.

"She is ill. Has she seen a doctor?"

Mrs. Chen was anxious and had a painful look on her face.

She did not deliberately conceal herself, which made Huo Dongming a little puzzled, but he remained calm and treated her with courtesy.

"I've had the injection and taken the medicine, and now I'm sleeping."

Huo Dongming observed Mrs. Chen carefully. Although she was almost fifty years old, she was well maintained.

Because of the long-term life of luxury, her skin is fair and her facial features are very delicate.

This made Huo Dongming involuntarily think of his wife, who also came from a prominent family and was equally stunningly beautiful.

Mrs. Chen must have been ten times more beautiful when she was young.

If Chen Rongsheng really fell in love with Shang Wanwan, he would not let his wife explore the way.

This doesn't make sense, Huo Dongming stood up.

"Mrs. Chen, please go back. I really don't have much time to chat with you. My wife still needs my care."

No matter what their purpose is, Huo Dongming doesn't want Shang Wanwan to get too close to them.

Mrs. Chen wanted to say something but stopped herself. After thinking for a while, she gave up the urge to go see Shang Wanwan.

"I won't bother Mrs. Huo any more. If she gets better, please let her know that I visited her."

Mrs. Chen kept looking back every few steps, and even Mrs. Zhang was moved when she saw her off.

"It's rare for Madam to have someone who cares about her. This Mrs. Chen is even better than Madam's own mother."

Huo Dongming had a dazed expression and stood there as if he was thinking about something.

Doctor Zuo gave Shang Wanwan an IV drip for several days, and she finally woke up from her coma.

Huo Dongming sat on the edge of the bed, holding a bowl of millet porridge in his hand.

"Why are you here?"

She felt weak and sluggish all over, as if she had been beaten up.

"This is my home, why am I here?"

Huo Dongming was so angry that he laughed. Knowing that she was a patient, he was too lazy to argue with her.

Shang Wanwan meant that he tore her clothes in the studio for Yi Xiaxue that day and forced her to look at the workers outside. She was so angry that she fainted.

Remembering that he had left that day, Shang Wanwan knew that she had angered him and he probably would not come back.

When Shang Wanwan thought of Yi Xiaxue, her throat choked up.

"Here, drink this bowl of porridge. You have been cooking for several days. You need to eat something to restore your strength."

“…”

Shang Wanwan had no impression, so why was she sick?

"I have sent Yi Xiaxue away. From now on, it will be just the two of us. Are you satisfied?"
