032 Suspicion of her identity
"Mr. Huo, I sell my art, not my body. Besides, your body is so precious, what if I damage it?"
Xie Yaoyao retreated until her back pressed against the door panel, only then did she feel a little safe.
Huo Yanxi's eyes darkened slightly when he saw the way she regarded him as a monster.
"So, when Teacher Xie said earlier that I should feel free to contact you if I need anything, was he just being polite?"
Xie Yaoyao looked at Huo Yanxi and realized that he intended to treat her like a maid.
She gritted her teeth and steeled her resolve, "If you don't think I'm being offensive, what do I have to be afraid of?"
She stormed into the bathroom, which was fully equipped in the VIP ward.
She found a basin, washed it clean, filled it halfway with hot water, washed the new towel again, and threw it into the basin.
The water rippled.
Xie Yaoyao carried the basin of water out. There was a stack of documents on the bedside table. She put the basin on the floor.
She half-squatted down, wrung out a hot towel, stood up, and looked at Huo Yanxi.
"Mr. Huo, would you please take off your clothes?"
She knew that Huo Yanxi was a germaphobe and hated being touched by others. Even after they got married, he never held her while sleeping.
Occasionally, when she tried to get close to him, he would immediately pull away, not letting her touch him even with a finger.
It's easier to change mountains and rivers than to change one's nature.
Huo Yanxi's obsession with cleanliness meant he would never allow a strange woman to touch his body.
Little did she know, Xie Yaoyao was wrong.
Huo Yanxi raised his hand and unbuttoned his hospital gown one button at a time, gradually revealing his strong physique hidden beneath the clothes.
He looked slender and upright, but I didn't expect him to have such a great physique, with a faintly visible eight-pack and firm muscles.
Xie Yaoyao stared wide-eyed.
He looks slim in clothes, but has a muscular physique when undressed.
Who wouldn't be confused by this?
A soft rebuke came from beside me, "Have you looked enough?"
Xie Yaoyao snapped back to reality and awkwardly turned her head away. "You took it off for me to see, it's not like I wanted to see it."
Huo Yanxi slightly tugged at the corners of his lips and pulled his hospital gown down a little, revealing his strong shoulder lines.
Xie Yaoyao silently recited the Heart-Cleansing Mantra several times, thinking that she should treat him like a fine porcelain vase and never have any evil thoughts.
She stepped forward, grabbed his clothes and pulled them down forcefully, then brazenly draped a hot towel over his shoulders and began scrubbing him vigorously with the strength of a Northeastern woman giving a bath.
Huo Yanxi was first burned by the hot towel, and then he was slapped so hard by her that he almost vomited blood.
He hadn't expected her to be so strong, and it made him shake all over.
He quickly grabbed the railing, feeling sparks flying from her brush against his shoulders and neck.
"Teacher Xie, why are you scrubbing the floor with so much force?"
You've scrubbed his skin raw!
Xie Yaoyao said with a forced smile, "It takes a little effort to clean it, Mr. Huo, please bear with it."
Xie Yaoyao muttered to herself, "In the past, if I touched Huo Yanxi's finger, he would want to disinfect it."
Now he's having a strange woman clean his body. Is his obsession with cleanliness and strict separation of men and women only directed at her?
She wipes, wipes, wipes!
Suddenly, she stopped moving and stared intently at Huo Yanxi's back.
She pulled down her hospital gown, revealing several shocking scars on her pale skin.
She remembered that when she picked up Huo Yanxi, he didn't have these scars on his body.
This indicates that he was not abused by his family before he was abandoned.
Five years ago, before he was taken away by the Huo family after their divorce, he did not have these scars on his body.
That can only mean that he got these injuries after he was taken back to the Huo family.
"The wound on your back..."
Huo Yanxi remained indifferent, raising his arms to block her prying gaze with his striped hospital gown.
"Thank you for your help. Let's call it a day."
Xie Yaoyao's eyes were red, and her crimson lips were tightly pursed. The wounds looked exactly like they had been made by whipping with a belt.
But why?
Back then, when Madam Huo went to the small fishing village to bring him back to the Huo family, it was so that he could inherit the Huo family business. Who would hit him?
Xie Yaoyao's voice trembled violently, "Who...who hit me..."
Even after they separated, she still hoped that he could become a successful person and no longer be bullied by the world.
But she didn't know how many hardships he had gone through after returning to his own world.
Huo Yanxi's expression was cold and fierce as he abruptly interrupted her, "Teacher Xie, please leave."
Before Xie Yaoyao could say anything, Huo Yanxi pressed the intercom next to him, "Someone, take Teacher Xie home."
The ward door was pushed open from the outside. Pei Yan returned after leaving, having been told by the bodyguard that Huo Yanxi had guests visiting, so he waited outside.
Upon seeing the guests in the ward, I almost blurted out "Holy crap!"
Especially when he saw Huo Yanxi's hospital gown unbuttoned and casually wrapped around his body.
His world was collapsing.
no.
Why does Huo Sheng look so utterly ravaged?
"How dare you! What did you do to Huo Sheng?" Pei Yan stared at Xie Yaoyao in shock and anger.
Xie Yaoyao wanted to rub her forehead.
Actually, she always thought Pei Yan was like a husky, always silly and lacking in emotional and intellectual intelligence.
Huo Yanxi's face turned ugly as he glared at Pei Yan. "Shut up! I just asked her to wipe the sweat off my body."
Pei Yan still looked like the sky had fallen, wailing, "Huo Sheng, you actually let someone touch your body on your own initiative! You've changed! You're no longer the virtuous Huo Sheng I knew!"
After Huo Yanxi regained control of the Huo Group, countless heiresses from prominent families rushed to offer themselves to him.
They were attracted to his appearance, liked his status, and loved his money.
But no one managed to get into his bed.
Huo Yanxi is known both inside and outside the entertainment circle for his aloofness, abstinence, and indifference to women.
Some gossip reporters even questioned his sexual orientation.
If he weren't so upright and honest, Pei Yan would have had some doubts.
It's ironic that such a detached and indifferent person would let this chubby girl wipe his body.
Isn't this just another way of flirting?
Pei Yan's words left both of them extremely embarrassed, and Xie Yaoyao really wanted to punch this husky.
Everything he says gets twisted in his voice.
She retorted, "Pei Yan, that's enough! You're getting more and more ridiculous. I was wiping President Huo's body. My hand didn't even touch him, so how could it be considered touching?"
Pei Yan paused for a moment, looking at Xie Yaoyao to confirm that this was their first meeting.
But she actually knew his name.
Before he could voice his question, Huo Yanxi spoke first, "How do you know his name?"
Xie Yaoyao, a middle school teacher, shouldn't know Pei Yan.
Xie Yaoyao's expression went blank for a few seconds before she met Huo Yanxi and Pei Yan's suspicious gazes.
Stop being so dense, think quickly!
Xie Yaoyao smiled awkwardly, "Well, the media often takes photos of you two secretly, it's hard for me not to know, right?"
That's what they say.
But Xie Yaoyao's direct use of Pei Yan's full name was very strange.
When people meet for the first time and learn about the other person's identity, they usually address Pei Yan as Secretary Pei.
They called him by his first name so naturally, as if they had known each other for a long time.
Seeing Xie Yaoyao's shifty gaze, Huo Yanxi narrowed his eyes dangerously.
