Chapter 39

Hurt Deeply!

In the room, Shen Yaowei could not help but smile when she heard Shen Liu’an’s roar gradually fade away.

Her shallow dimples rippled beside her fair cheeks, making her look even sweeter.

Huo Junhan stared at Shen Yaowei. He suddenly picked her up and placed her on his lap.

“Ninth Imperial Uncle, if you’re not feeling well, you have to take your medicine.” Shen Yaowei looked at Huo Junhan and said seriously, “As long as you take your medicine, you’ll recover.”

When Huo Junhan heard the word “medicine”, he raised his hand and picked up a Hundred Treasures Bag on the low cabinet by the soft wall. Then, he stuffed it into Shen Yaowei’s arms.

“???” Shen Yaowei held the Hundred Treasures Bag and looked at Huo Junhan in confusion.

“There are many medicinal herbs in here. They’re all yours,” Huo Junhan said slowly.

Under Huo Junhan’s deep and focused gaze, Shen Yaowei’s heartbeat quickened uncontrollably.

After she carefully put away the Hundred Treasures Bag as if she had obtained a treasure, Huo Junhan closed his eyes again.

Only this time his breathing was noticeably steadier than when she’d entered the room, and his body temperature had almost returned to normal.

Even so, Shen Yaowei could not be at ease. She decided to help Huo Junhan further by transferring some spiritual energy to him.

About an hour later, she walked out of the small wooden house with a pale face.

She had channeled a lot of spiritual energy into Huo Junhan. For a moment, she had exhausted too much energy and her body could not take it anymore.

Yan Bei was the first to see Shen Yaowei. Seeing that there was nothing wrong with her except for her pale face, he couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief and let go of Shen Liu’an’s hand.

Shen Liu’an saw his daughter walking lightly down the steps in front of the wooden house and rushed to her like a whirlwind. “My daughter! Are you alright? Why do you look so pale? Did Huo Junhan bully you?!”

Zi Yun walked over and frowned at Shen Yaowei’s pale face. “Miss, are you feeling unwell?”

Shen Yaowei shook her head slightly. “Ninth Imperial Uncle didn’t bully me, and I’m not uncomfortable.”

Shen Liu’an did not believe Shen Yaowei’s words at all. He clenched his fists and said, “I’ll bring you home first.”

He would settle scores with Huo Junhan after settling his precious daughter down!

“I don’t want to go home now,” Shen Yaowei said firmly.

She would not leave here until she was sure that Ninth Imperial Uncle was really fine.

Shen Liu’an looked at Shen Yaowei with wide eyes. “Yaoyao, why don’t you want to go home?”

“I want to accompany my Ninth Imperial Uncle until he wakes up,” Shen Yaowei replied bluntly.

Shen Liu’an was filled with question marks.

He did not know when his precious daughter had become so close to Huo Junhan while he was not in the capital.

Taking a deep breath and exhaling slowly, Shen Liu’an tried his best to squeeze a smile on his face. “Huo Junhan’s subordinates are guarding this place, so he’ll be fine. Yaoyao, be good and come home with me first, okay?”

“No.” Shen Yaowei’s small face was serious. “Daddy, Zi Yun, go back first. My Ninth Imperial Uncle needs me.”

Shen Liu’an, who had always been able to call the wind and summon the rain on the battlefield, felt a headache coming on.

He really could not do anything about Yaoyao’s stubborn temper.

With that, Shen Yaowei turned and walked into the wooden house.

Looking at Shen Yaowei’s back, Shen Liu’an reached out and held a hand over his heart.

His heart as an old father had been hurt deeply!

Previously, Huo Zhao had come to snatch his daughter from him. Why was Huo Junhan joining the queue now?!

No, the more this was the case, the more he couldn’t let Yaoyao stay here!
