The man on the hospital bed turned his head and saw the woman's red eyes. He couldn't help but frown. It was just a short trip, why did it have to turn into this?
"Have you cried?"
"No, I just bumped my nose on the wall when I went out," Xun Ting said nonchalantly, rubbing her nose. She really did seem like nothing had happened.
She walked in a few steps and sat down next to the hospital bed, her gaze involuntarily drifting towards the man's legs.
What will happen when the villain finally finds out the truth?
"Your nose is that high?" Huo Lin chuckled softly, not exposing her lie. This little liar wasn't suited to lying, yet she loved to lie again and again.
She was unwilling to talk about it, and naturally, no one pressed her for details.
Xun Ting touched the tip of her nose. "It's really high, my darling, I'm going to sleep."
"Okay, lie down." Huo Lin was about to move when the woman saw this and stopped him.
"Don't move, I'm going to make a small bed. I won't sleep in the same bed with you tonight."
Huo Lin frowned upon hearing this. He couldn't possibly agree. He had long been accustomed to falling asleep with a woman in his arms every night. He couldn't sleep if they were suddenly separated. "No way."
Xun Ting stared intently at the man, not in a hurry to speak. After yesterday, she suddenly felt a sense of confidence welling up from within: he wouldn't hurt her.
She had always imagined the villains to be too terrifying. Apart from their harsh words, the villains had never actually harmed her.
"Come up." Seeing that the woman didn't move, Huo Lin pursed his thin lips and couldn't help but urge her.
"I'll go find Assistant Gu to get the crib." Xun Ting turned and left without hesitation.
When I came back, I did bring a small bed and placed it next to his bed. It wasn't far away; I could reach it with one arm's reach.
Xun Ting pulled the blanket up high, a sweet smile on her face, and said, "Goodnight."
"Mrs. Huo, come here." Huo Lin's brows furrowed with displeasure, his gaze fixed on her beaming face, his dark eyes exuding a menacing aura.
Normally, if he had this expression, Xun Ting would have been terrified and crawled over immediately.
But at this moment, she simply stared at the man without moving, silently resisting.
The woman's large, bright eyes stared straight at him without the slightest fear. She even lay motionless on her bed, showing no intention of coming over.
Huo Lin felt somewhat defeated at this sight. Was he no longer afraid of him?
"Go to sleep. I'll sleep with you after your leg... heals." Xun felt a little guilty after hearing that her leg was healed. She couldn't help but feel sad. Would it really get better?
She covered her head completely, not daring to look the man in the eye, afraid that he would see through her.
"Hmm." Huo Lin simply gave up.
...
...
The next day, when Xun Ting was about to leave, Gu Zhu stopped her, saying, "Young Madam, I have already heard about Master Huo's condition from the doctor."
"Hmm, Huo Lin doesn't know yet."
“I’m afraid that if Master Huo finds out…” Gu Zhu had been by Huo Lin’s side for so many years and knew his personality very well. He was worried that Master Huo would give up everything if he found out.
That's why I thought of discussing countermeasures with the young mistress.
"Do you have any ideas?" Xun Ting lowered his head and rubbed his eyes.
"Young Madam, please try to persuade him. What Master Huo fears most is your disdain."
"Don't worry, I'll talk to him, but I don't know if he'll listen." Xun Ting couldn't help but sigh. Would her advice even work?
That's a leg; how can anyone accept that someone like Huo Lin, who's at the top, can't stand up anymore?
