Chapter 145 The Calm Before the Storm



"This is a suit, please accept it, otherwise I'll feel guilty." Xu Xinxin held back her tears, put down the suit, and then turned and left without hesitation.

She knew perfectly well that any gift she received would eventually end up in the trash, but she... still wanted to try, hoping that maybe one day it would be kept.

...

...

Xun Ting returned to the hospital, feeling a little timid. At the door, she couldn't help but lean against the wall and wave to Gu Zhu.

Gu Zhu noticed her immediately and walked over in small steps. "Young Madam, what's wrong?"

"Master Huo, is he in there throwing a tantrum?" Xun Ting glanced furtively at the door of the ward, unable to see anything, but could tell from the phone call that Master Huo was angry.

"almost."

"I'll come back later. Call me when you've calmed down." Xun Ting heard this and immediately wanted to slip away. Wasn't she stupid to run in now and get herself killed?

Gu Zhu immediately raised his voice, "Young Madam, please go inside. Master Huo has been waiting for you for a long time."

Finding herself in a dilemma, Gu Zhu's voice was so loud, the man inside must have heard it! She couldn't help but glare at Gu Zhu several times.

"Who told you to speak so loudly? Did you eat too much?"

"Young Madam, don't be afraid. Just give Master Huo a kiss and a hug. Master Huo has always had a very good temper," Assistant Gu said with a smile.

It was said on purpose for Master Huo to hear, so that he would show leniency next time he was exiled to some godforsaken place.

"..."

The phone in Xunting Pocket rang instantly, and it was obvious who was calling.

She stepped on Gu Zhu's foot and went inside.

The moment she opened the door, a sweet and obedient smile appeared on her face. "My darling, I'm back! Did you miss me? I missed you so much... I came back early especially for you~"

The man on the bed glanced at her but ignored her.

Listening to the phone sent chills down her spine. Even if it meant death, she had to know the reason. Undeterred, she continued to ingratiate herself, "My darling, what you said on the phone was unclear. I don't know what I did wrong again?"

The man frowned slightly, and his eyes darkened when he heard the word "again".

Xun Ting was implying that every mistake he made was just him being unreasonable.

"Master Huo~" Xun Ting felt uncomfortable being stared at and couldn't help but speak sweetly.

The man then came to his senses and looked down elsewhere. "Why the refund?"

"Are you talking about the black card? I can explain that! I didn't plan to use it; I just borrowed it for a bit! Don't worry, I haven't revealed whose name the black card belongs to, so no one will know that you bought something and then got a refund!"

Xun Ting couldn't wait to explain, and she made it very clear, indicating that she would not only not use the man's black card, but also would not embarrass him by asking for a refund.

She's very perceptive; the richer people are, the stingier they are. The villain giving her the black card is probably just for show; he doesn't really intend for her to use it.

Thinking back to the little bit of money Lin Qingbai gave the female lead when they were together in the original story, tsk...

The female protagonist in the original novel had been Lin Qingbai's fiancée for several years, but she didn't even have enough money to afford an abortion.

There was very little plot about the villains, but the few scenes that did exist revealed their cruelty. My god... I don't even want to recall those descriptions.

"You never intended to use it?" Huo Lin chuckled softly, his cold eyes filled with icy intent.

“Yes, yes, yes! We won’t use it again.” Xun Ting nodded immediately.

Unaware that a storm was brewing, they thought their words would appease the villain.
