Only now did Umbo release her. Her breathing was still disorderly, and her face was slightly flushed. An Bowen gently caressed her face. When his fingers touched her skin, it made her shiver. She tightly hugged her arms.

"I'm tired. I want to sleep for a while." Only now did Huo Lianqing's breathing calm down. She was really afraid of that feeling. It was as if she had been drawn into a bottomless abyss, and the more she struggled, the deeper she sank.

Seeing Huo Lianqing's haggard and pale face, An Bowen felt a bit of heartache as he kissed her forehead.

"Alright, have a good night's sleep. I'll go to the company first, give me a call if you have anything to say." As he spoke, he helped to tuck Huo Lianqing in, stood up, and walked outside. Huo Lianqing laid on the bed and looked at his back. She couldn't tell what she felt in her heart.

Just as Huo Lianqing was about to fall asleep, the door suddenly opened. Huo Lianqing stuck her head out from under the blanket and saw that it was Cui He. He probably came to look for Huo Lianqing because he was bored. When Huo Lianqing saw Cui He, she felt a little embarrassed. She had injured Cui He and hadn't even managed to participate in the school's collective event.

"Cui He, are you okay?" Huo Lianqing sat up on the bed.

"Elder sister, are you severely injured? Will there be any side effects?" As Cui He spoke, she had already walked to Huo Lianqing's bedside.

"Fortunately, I didn't break my appearance!" Huo Lianqing teased him.

With Cui He's company, Huo Lianqing felt much happier. All day long, the two of them had been together, chatting, playing games, and shopping online. Huo Lianqing loved to buy all kinds of gadgets online. Although they were useless, she still liked them a lot. On this day, countless deliveries were delivered to Umbo's villa. Aunt Wang stared blankly at the various packaged items on the sofa that were being pushed around like a mountain.

In the afternoon, when Ambrose returned to the villa, he was stunned to see the items on the sofa.

"Aunt Wang, what's going on?" he asked, pointing to the hill on the sofa.

"It was bought by Miss Huo. The courier delivered it home."

He turned around and went upstairs. He stayed in his room for a long time, but he didn't know what he was looking for. Aunt Wang wanted to go in and ask him if he wanted to have dinner at home, but when she looked through the door, he was sitting on the edge of the bed with a box in his hand. His expression was solemn, so she didn't go in to disturb him.

Ann Bowen stayed upstairs for a long time before she came down, carrying a bag in her hand. When she saw Wang Shishi, she suddenly thought of something.

"Aunt Wang, bring the chicken soup to the hospital later."

Aunt Wang was stunned for a moment before she nodded.

"Yes, sir."

Ann Bowen drove to the hospital. Originally, there were some social events in the evening, but he had his secretary cancel them out. He didn't know why, but all day long, his mind was filled with images of her. Her haggard, pale face, and the frown of her sleeping brow, lingered in his mind.

An Bowen had never felt this way towards a woman before. Moreover, he couldn't help but think of her and worry for her. Every frown and smile of hers was deeply imprinted in his memory. In his free time, he would recall that faint feeling. It was like there was a gentle breeze blowing past his heart.

When he entered, Huo Lianqing was sleeping. She was lying on her side with her body slightly curled up as she hugged the blanket. She looked like a child hugging a beloved child. The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, as if she was dreaming of something interesting.

Cui He also went back to her room. Before he sat down, Huo Lianqing opened her eyes.

"You're here." She rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked at him.

"Are you hungry? Aunt Wang will bring you food soon." He smiled at her.

"When can I be discharged? I want to go back. I don't want to stay here anymore. " Huo Lianqing said as she shook her son's arm. Umbo fondled her messy hair.

"How can we do that? You're not well yet, so you'll need to stay for a few more days. "

"I'm fine, it doesn't hurt anywhere. I don't want to stay in the hospital." Huo Lianqing began to coquettishly pull Obo Wen. An Bowen gently stared at her. Her face was flushed red from waking up, and her large watery eyes were like a clear spring.

Seeing that he couldn't force her, he helplessly nodded his head.

"I'll help you ask the doctor. If the doctor says yes, you can leave the hospital. If the doctor says no, you have to stay here."

He could finally leave the hospital. Although her body still hurt a lot, Huo Lianqing had to endure it because she didn't want to stay in this lifeless hospital. She was free and brought back Cui He.

An Bowen had finished with the discharge procedures, and it just so happened that Aunt Wang walked in with chicken soup and dinner. She looked at Huo Lianqing who was sitting on the bed with a face full of astonishment.

"Esteemed wangfei, take your dinner home with you. I can leave the hospital now. " Huo Lianqing smiled at Wang Shishi.

"Discharge?" Aunt Wang looked at Cui He who was standing beside her.

"Are you also discharged?"

"Aunt Wang, we're all fine now. It's boring staying in the hospital, so we might as well go home and take care of it." Huo Lianqing comforted her when she saw the worried look on her wife's face.

When Aunt Wang saw that An Bowen was smiling as she looked at the happy Huo Lianqing, she knew that she couldn't do anything about it. She could only accept her fate and follow behind them with chicken soup and dinner. Along the way, Huo Lianqing sat beside An Bowen and talked nonstop. She seemed to be overexcited.

An Bowen put his hand on her knee. Huo Lianqing could feel a warm current flowing into her body. Huo Lianqing slowly covered her hand as well.

Aunt Wang and Cui He didn't take this car, but took a taxi back. They didn't have good eyesight, and wouldn't act like electric bulbs at this time. After the incident with Huo Lianqing, she was even more certain that he really did like her.

He had brought a woman with him before, but she would be kicked out in less than three days. Huo Lianqing had been living here for almost a month. In addition, they got along very well. In the eyes of an outsider, they were originally a pair of lovesick lovers. He would kiss her goodbye every morning, go out on a date every once in a while, and sometimes make supper together at night.

If he didn't have any special feelings for her, then he definitely wouldn't do such a thing. As Aunt Wang thought of this, her lips curled up into a smile.

When he got off the car, he carried Huo Lianqing all the way to her bedroom on the second floor. After Huo Lianqing was put on the bed, he turned around and turned on the floor lamp. It turned out that he liked the dim lighting. The setting sun outside had yet to set, creating a gorgeous rainbow in the horizon. It was exceptionally beautiful.

An Bowen took out a small box from his bosom. It was a small sandalwood box. It seemed like it had been baptized over a long period of time. An Bowen gently opened the box and placed it in front of Huo Ruqing.

"For you." Huo Lianqing widened her eyes. Inside, there was a string of emerald green beads that shone brightly under the dim yellow light. From a glance, he could tell that it was a top-grade jade bead, and that it was something from the past.

"This …" Huo Lianqing hesitated as she stared at Amber's face. What did he mean? Could it be something passed down from his ancestors? Why did he want one for himself? He was just one of his lovers.

"What's wrong? Don't you like it? My grandmother gave it to my mother. It will bring you good luck and keep you from having nightmares all night. " His voice was very soft. He had never spoken to her in such a gentle manner before.

As he spoke, he took out the pearl and placed it on her wrist. Her white wrist was as white as snow. An Bowen raised her wrist and nodded with satisfaction, a faint smile appearing on his face.

"Alright, you rest for a while. I'll call you over for dinner." An Bowen lightly kissed Huo Lianqing on the forehead and then left. Huo Lianqing looked at the pearl on her wrist and was stunned. She then shook her head.

"Huo Lianqing, don't let your imagination run wild. It's just a string of beads, don't forget your motive for coming here! " Huo Lianqing thought to herself in her heart.
