There was a hidden emotion in his tone, as if he was worried about her. Huo Lianqing paused for a moment, then lowered her head and started to eat her breakfast. An Bowen drove Huo Lianqing back to his villa. It was already noon. Huo Lianqing stood beside the car and smiled at him.
"Hurry up and go to the company."
On the other hand, An Bowen walked towards Huo Lianqing and gently hugged her. There were servants shuttling back and forth the courtyard. None of them dared to set their sights on either Amber or Huo Lianqing.
"Go up and have a good sleep. Call me if you need anything." An Bowen dotingly caressed her cheek, then lightly kissed her on the cheek before getting on the car and leaving. Huo Lianqing frowned slightly and let out a long sigh as she watched his car disappear into the distance.
When she returned to her room upstairs, Huo Lianqing went to the bathroom and filled the tub with water. Only after soaking in it comfortably did she feel much better. The soft bubbles moved gently on her body. Huo Lianqing hid her entire body, even her head, into the bathtub. She hoped that she could hide herself comfortably like this and never come out.
Just as he was about to fall asleep in the bathtub, there was a knock on the door. Huo Lianqing stuck her head out of the bathtub.
"Who is it?"
"Miss Huo, it's me, Aunt Wang. Is there something wrong with you? "Sir, you asked us to prepare your favorite food at noon. What would you like?" Aunt Wang's voice came from outside the door.
"Whatever, I'll just do something light." Huo Lianqing came out of the bathtub as she spoke. She dried her body with a towel and put on a set of white house clothes. She casually tied her hair behind her back and did not blow it dry. Perhaps she felt that it was too troublesome. Returning to his room, he found a bowl of soup on the table, and a faint fragrance wafted in the air.
"Miss Huo, this is your Sage Calming Elixir. Mister specifically ordered us to prepare it. "Mr. Huo called just now to ask if Miss Huo is feeling better. You should give Mr. Huo a call."
After saying that, Aunt Wang left the room. Huo Lianqing looked at the soup on the table and thought about the loving expression on Ann Bowen's face. Her slightly calmer heart was thrown into disarray once again.
"Hey, I'm much better now. I went to take a bath earlier. Thanks for your Soothing Soup." Although Huo Lianqing felt a little uncomfortable, she still had to give Ambrose a call.
"Has the soup been drunk? Get a good night's sleep and don't think about anything. " Huo Lianqing put down the phone and lay on the bed. She had fallen asleep unconsciously. She was probably too tired.
It was still the same dream. She just kept struggling. From start to finish, she kept struggling, but no one came to save her. When he woke up, he was sweating profusely again. The bowl of soup on the table was still there.
Huo Lianqing got up from the bed, picked up the bowl of soup and gulped it down. She had never been in such a sorry state before. After finishing her bowl of soup, she picked up her cell phone again and dialed the number, but she still hung up.
"Zhenhai would sometimes feel very lonely and think of many things from the past. "Yesterday, I went to peace and quiet with a stranger. There were many beautiful things …" He changed it to text, then from many of these words, it became a sentence.
"Zhenhai, what are you doing now? Wants to know where you are, who you're with, what you're doing. "
During the night, An Bowen came back early as if he was worried that Huo Lianqing would come back so early. The moment he entered the hall, he went straight to Huo Lianqing's room. She was lying on the bed, holding a notebook, looking at fashion and cosmetics on the Internet. An Bowen walked in lightly and sat beside her. She felt the mattress beside her suddenly cave in, and the fragrance of flowers rushed out of her nose.
When he turned around, Umbo was sitting beside him with a bouquet of flowers in his hand.
"Why did you suddenly buy flowers?" Huo Lianqing asked as she got up from the bed.
"I wonder what kind of flowers you like? I feel that the Sword Orchid is very suitable for you, so I bought it as soon as I passed by." An Bowen gently smiled, a trace of tenderness in his eyes.
Huo Lianqing took the flowers and put them into the vase. Seeing her slightly smiling face, Ambrose walked over and hugged her from behind.
Huo Lianqing was stunned for a moment. She immediately covered his hand with her own. He rested his chin on her shoulder as his warm breath fell on her ear. Slowly he turned her body, took her face in his hands, and kissed her tenderly. There was a honey-like sweetness between her lips, causing him to subconsciously indulge in it. Her long eyelashes fluttered, and it made his face itch a little.
She slowly wrapped her arms around his neck and turned her body slowly in his direction. Suddenly, he tightly hugged her waist as he looked at her with a heavy and dreamy gaze.
"I bought the cake. Go down and see which one you like." Huo Lianqing's breathing was still a little messy. Her big eyes were flashing with a sparkling light as she looked at Huo Lianqing.
"I like tea."
Huo Lianqing was greatly surprised when she walked into the restaurant. This was because it wasn't as simple as just buying a piece of cake. The table was almost completely filled with cake. Would he have bought all the cakes in the bakery? Seeing Huo Lianqing's shocked expression, Umbo patted her on the shoulders.
"I don't know which one you like, so I'll buy more. You can try any one of them." Huo Lianqing turned around to look at him with eyes as gentle as water.
After dinner, Huo Lianqing sat alone in the hall, drinking tea and watching TV because she had slept a lot during the day. An Bowen changed his clothes and came down to see her sitting cross-legged on the sofa. Her hair seemed to have just been washed, like a waterfall falling down on her shoulders.
"Can't sleep?" Umbo came over and sat beside her.
"Hmm? I don't want to go to bed so early. " Huo Lianqing smiled.
"Is something the matter?" "Still some unpleasant memories, tell me." An Bowen's words were like a magic spell, causing Huo Lianqing's body to tremble slightly. She stared at him with her pair of big eyes. After a while, Huo Lianqing finally came back to her senses. She sighed and spoke calmly.
"I'm fine, I'm fine. Maybe it's because I haven't been sleeping well lately, so it's okay. " She looked down as she spoke. As if he was avoiding her gaze, he gently embraced her in his arms, and his body was filled with the fragrance of the bath fluid.
"I know a psychiatrist. I'll ask him out tomorrow. Let's go see him." From Huo Lianqing's uneasy expression, he could already see the conflict and fear in her heart.
"No!" I don't want to go! I'm not sick, why would I go? "I'm fine, I'm not going." Huo Lianqing seemed to be in high spirits and she was extremely unstable. Umbo embraced her gently.
"I'm not saying that you're sick. I'm just asking you to see a doctor. He'll help you get rid of the knot in your heart. "Don't be afraid, I'll go with you." Huo Lianqing struggled out of Amber's arms and opened her eyes wide.
"I won't go, I'm not a patient! I just had a dream, just a dream. "
At this moment, she didn't know what she was thinking. She just felt that she couldn't see any light from the past. Once it was revealed, she would have nowhere to hide. She didn't want to live a life worse than death. She would rather die than live one more life.
When she thought of what happened that year, she felt like a crazed little wild beast, its eyes bloodshot. All these years, she had been wandering around this city by herself. All those years ago, those who had hurt her had received their retribution. However, why was her soul still so desolate and unable to be redeemed?
Her appearance was so bright and beautiful, but deep inside her soul was a self she didn't even want to face. Every day she faced Ambrose, her heart was filled with contradictions.
"Lianqing …" Her hands were still as cold as ice and there was no trace of warmth in them at all.
"I'm really fine. I'll be fine in two days. I'm going upstairs to sleep, and you should get some rest as well. " Then, Huo Lianqing stood up and walked up the stairs. Huo Lianqing, what happened to you? Why was it so fragile? Be your own self. Huo Lianqing thought to herself as she went upstairs.
