Chapter 36

"Can I take these people away now?"Huo Yuchen said, "Come, please escort Mr. Jin and the young master out."

Liu Yang silently admired Huo Yuchen in his heart. As expected of the king of Beijing. That land was worth at least 500 million yuan, yet he obtained it so easily.

It was a pity that he owed Miss Ling a favor. Even if she didn't show up, Huo Yuchen wouldn't have been harmed at all. But her courage to block the bullet for Huo Yuchen was touching. After all, not everyone was willing to risk their life to save others.

Just then, Nanbei walked over with a phone, looking very serious. "Boss Huo, there's a problem with that batch of goods."

Huo Yuchen's expression darkened, a dangerous glint flashing through his eyes. "Let's go."

He hurried to the dock with several bodyguards. By the time he returned to the villa, it was already early morning the next day.

A beam of light shone on the French windows on the second floor. Su Ningxi, who was having trouble sleeping anyway, walked out to the balcony and looked down. Sure enough, she saw Huo Yuchen's car parked there. She grumbled in dissatisfaction, "Finally willing to come back after fooling around outside for so long."

Then she saw Huo Yuchen being helped out of the car by several people.

What was going on? Was he drunk?

She put on a coat and opened the door a crack to peek out. Soon she heard footsteps getting closer and closer. Then Huo Yuchen was helped upstairs by someone.

This was the first time she had seen him look so harmless since getting to know him. Leaning on Nanbei's shoulder, he was completely different from the usual powerful and stern man.

He was taken directly to the master bedroom. Su Ningxi also opened the door and followed in, wanting to find out what was going on.

The door wasn't closed tightly. She peeked through the gap and saw Nanbei laying Huo Yuchen down on the bed and starting to take off his clothes.

Seeing a grown man undress Huo Yuchen, Su Ningxi felt it was a bit strange, especially since Huo Yuchen was just lying there motionless like a delicate flower. This was not like him at all!

A thought suddenly popped into her mind - if she filmed him being undressed by another man, wouldn't she be able to threaten him with it to divorce her?

This idea seemed quite good. A sly smile appeared on her face. Mr. Huo, you can't blame me for this. This is ammunition you delivered to my door. If I don't take advantage of it, wouldn't I be letting you down?

Just as the idea formed, before she could take action, she heard footsteps again. Su Ningxi hurried back to her room.

After some time when it was quiet outside, she returned to the master bedroom door.

Seeing the tightly shut door, Su Ningxi had the urge to curse. So much for filming anything!

She leaned in to listen for any movement, thinking recording some audio would also be good.

"Ah!"

Su Ningxi leaned too close and the door was opened from inside. Caught off guard, she fell right in.

The few men in the room, including Huo Yuchen half-lying on the bed, all looked over at her.

What Su Ningxi saw was - two men standing, Huo Yuchen half-reclining bare-chested, his body wrapped in white bandages. He was injured? No wonder he had to be supported back, it seemed quite serious!

Tang Chen looked at Su Ningxi in surprise. "Sister-in-law?"

"Don't blame me, blame him. He's the one who opened the door," Su Ningxi quickly pushed the blame onto Nanbei standing by the door. She had completely forgotten that if she wasn't eavesdropping, she wouldn't have fallen in.

Nanbei looked innocent. He just opened the door, how did it become his fault?

This was Nanbei's first time seeing Su Ningxi. He thought although the young mistress was a bit ugly, she was quite cute. Maybe Boss Huo really loved her for her interesting soul.

The room was very quiet, no one spoke.

To break the awkward silence, Su Ningxi forced out a silly laugh. "Hehe, what are you guys doing? Looks fun! Need one more person? Should we get a table?"

Huo Yuchen's face darkened like the bottom of a pot. Because he saw Su Ningxi's nightgown revealing two fair bare legs, with other men present. Huo Yuchen felt like something of his was seen by others, instantly filling him with anger.

"Get out." S~ᴇaʀᴄh the NƟvelFɪre.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

"Alright, I'm leaving. Take your time chatting, I won't disturb you guys." Su Ningxi said, as if pardoned, and turned to leave.

When she reached the door, she glared fiercely at Nanbei. It was all his fault. If not for him, how could she have embarrassed herself like this?

Nanbei...this must be what they called disaster falling from the heavens!

After Tang Chen treated Huo Yuchen's wounds, he looked up and said to the two of them, "You guys go back first."

Tang Chen said, "You need someone to look after you with wounds this serious. They were treated a bit late, you might run a fever tonight."

Hearing this, Huo Yuchen said, "Call that woman back."

Soon, Su Ningxi was called back unwillingly. She had just ruthlessly chased her out, and now needed her again. Didn't he care about face?

The two's room was very quiet, strangely quiet. Su Ningxi was originally sulking and didn't want to talk to him, but unanswered questions in her heart made her uncomfortable, so she just asked outright, "How did you get injured? Did you fight with someone?"

Huo Yuchen just lay in bed with eyes closed, completely ignoring her.

Su Ningxi pouted, not bothering to humiliate herself further. If he didn't want to say, then so be it.

In a flash, a few hours passed. As Tang Chen said, Huo Yuchen developed a fever, his face flushed red.

"Water, water..." he kept calling out.

Su Ningxi had fallen asleep on the sofa not far away, and of course didn't hear anything from Huo Yuchen's side.

"Bang!" A sound.

"What was that sound?" She sat up groggily from the sofa.

"Water," came Huo Yuchen's weak voice.

Damn, how did she fall asleep?

Su Ningxi didn't even bother putting on shoes. She ran over barefoot, "Are you okay?"

She reached out and felt Huo Yuchen's forehead, it was very hot.

"You have a fever?"

What to do? What to do?

Huo Yuchen was still continuously asking for water.

"Water, wait a moment, I'll get you water."

"Ah!" Su Ningxi cried out in pain. Her foot was pricked by glass on the floor. She was too flustered and didn't notice it at all.

Su Ningxi called out aggrievedly to the muddled Huo Yuchen on the bed, "Huo Yuchen, my foot is injured, Huo Yuchen..."

With Huo Yuchen nearly burning up with fever, how could he hear her?

Su Ningxi lifted her foot to take a look, closed her eyes, steeled herself, and roughly pulled out the shard embedded in her flesh. Quite a lot of blood dripped onto the floor, the pain bringing tears to her eyes.

After simple unprofessional bandaging, she still hopped over to pour Huo Yuchen a cup of water.

Su Ningxi had always been taken care of since young, and had no experience taking care of others. While feeding Huo Yuchen water, she nearly choked him to death. One third of the water went in, two thirds spilled out.
