Huo Ci frowned slightly as he watched him turn around and leave. He chased after him. “Second Brother, what do you mean? Are you saying that I care about that pretty boy? Dream on. That’s because I’m responsible. I brought him over. I have to bring him back safely!”
If she died here, she would turn into a malicious ghost and haunt him every day for her life. For his own safety, he had to find her.
It was very far-fetched but Huo Ci convinced himself. Yes, that was it. He wasn’t worried about the pretty boy. Why should he be worried about the pretty boy? Fighting with him was just to teach him a lesson so that he wouldn’t wander off on his own again.
Nangong Lengyu was already suffering from menstrual cramps. After fighting with someone in the heavy rain, she suffered from the cold and lay in bed in pain.
The next morning.
Huo Ci woke up early and could not fall asleep at all. At the thought of the pretty boy being injured, he felt a little sorry. However, if he went to see him, he would feel too embarrassed. When he left the room, he saw Yu Bo driving away and shouted, “Where are you going?”
Yu Bo looked at him respectfully. “Go down the mountain and buy something in town.”
Miss Nangong was in a lot of pain. Miss Wen asked him to buy some brown sugar, ginger, and some painkillers from the pharmacy.
Huo Ci opened the car door and got into the back. “The food here is awful,” he said lazily. “I’ll go down the mountain with you.”
“Yes,” Yu Bo replied, not daring to refuse him.
Who wasn’t afraid of this little tyrant! Even Sir couldn’t do anything to him. If this troublemaker said to go down the mountain, so be it.
After Huo Ci got into the car, he lay down on the seat and played games on his game console. Not long after, he was too tired and fell asleep. The bumpy mountain road did not wake him up.
When he woke up, he was already in the town at the foot of the mountain. However, this town was too small and too poor. There was nothing that Yu Bo wanted to buy, so he went to the county.
Huo Ci frowned when he saw Yu Bo bringing red ginger tea over. “Isn’t this food for women? For Second Sister-in-law?”
Yu Bo smiled.
Huo Ci bought a lot of things, paid the bill, and carried two large bags. When he got into the car, he realized that the snacks he had bought were all pretty boy’s favorites. They were not his favorites. He was so angry that he fell straight onto the seat.
Fuck!
He must be crazy now!
The pretty boy had poisoned him!
He was still fine when he left the supermarket but Yu Bo suddenly became irritable. He did not dare to say or ask who the Sixth Young Master was angry with.
While Huo Ci was eating, Yu Bo went to the pharmacy to buy painkillers.
Huo Ci glanced over and frowned. “For my second brother?”
Yu Bo shook his head. “No.”
Huo Ci nodded thoughtfully. “Does it really hurt that much when women have that?”
Second Sister-in-law’s body was too weak. She was a doctor herself, so why couldn’t she recuperate properly? He had heard from his mother that when a woman was in pain, it was because of the cold. In the future, getting pregnant would be a problem.
Yu Bo smiled. “I don’t know either.”
Huo Ci nodded and looked at the medicine again. He nodded seriously. “Yes, you’re not a woman either.”
Yu Bo was speechless.
That was too much!
Huo Ci finished his meal and waved his hand. “Boss, pack five crystal shrimp dumplings.”
With that, his expression changed. He kicked the leg of the table in frustration, sneered, and started to walk away.
F*ck.
He was just crazy.
He couldn’t even have a meal in peace. He subconsciously thought about helping the pretty boy order his favorite crystal shrimp dumplings.
Yu Bo did not know what was wrong with this man. After paying the bill, he quickly chased after him and watched him leave. “Sixth Young Master, where are you going?”
Huo Ci sneered, his eyes irritable. “Do I have to report to you wherever I go? Get lost!”
Yu Bo was speechless. Seeing him leave with a murderous aura, he sighed. He didn’t dare to ask.
Wen Ruoshui brought the brewed brown sugar ginger tea for her. “Drink some. You’ll feel better.”
Nangong Lengyu’s face was pale, and her forehead was covered in cold sweat. She opened her eyes weakly and finished the brown sugar ginger tea in one go. Her stomach hurt so much that she wanted to die.
“Tell me, why are you angry with Huo Ci at a time like this? If you feel uncomfortable after being drenched in the rain, you’ll have to endure it yourself.” Wen Ruoshui sighed helplessly and poured another glass of warm water. She handed her the painkillers. “Take the medicine.”
Nangong Lengyu sat up and obediently took the medicine. Who knew what had gotten into her to stoop to Huo Ci’s level?
Yan Yuanfei came in with two bags of snacks and placed them on the table. “You two eat. I’m leaving soon. If there’s anything, just look for Yu Bo.”
“Be careful.” Wen Ruoshui glanced at his leg, worried.
Yan Yuanfei smiled and nodded. “I’m fine. Take good care of Yu’er.”
Wen Ruoshui sent him out and only asked when they reached the door, “Where’s Huo Ci?”
It was early in the morning, but she didn’t see anyone. He had hit someone, and still knew that he was bleeding and injured. Could he sleep and not come to take a look?
Yan Yuanfei sighed softly. “After he left the mountain with Yu Bo, I didn’t come back.”
It was impossible for him to fool around. Perhaps he had not thought it through and was angry with himself. There was no need to care about him. He would be back soon.
After Wen Ruoshui sent Yan Yuanfei off, she sat on the sofa to read while guarding Nangong Lengyu.
“Shui Shui, I want to eat something.” Nangong Lengyu pointed weakly at the snacks on the sofa. She was too bored and her stomach was hungry.
Wen Ruoshui opened the plastic bag and saw what was inside. There were potato chips, fries, spicy sticks, pickled pepper and chicken feet. They were all Yu’er’s favorites. “Don’t eat too much spicy food. Your stomach hurts.”
“Oh.” Nangong Lengyu was overjoyed when she saw that it was all her favorite food. “Thank Second Brother for me. Second Brother is so considerate. How did he know that I like to eat these?”
Wen Ruoshui coughed softly and watched as she happily opened the packaging and started eating the chips. She did not tell her that Huo Ci had bought these snacks. He had not returned, but he had brought the snacks back.
She heard from Yu Bo that after Huo Ci finished eating, he even asked the boss to pack five portions of crystal shrimp dumplings. However, for some reason, he thought of something and got angry. He did not want them and left angrily.
Crystal shrimp dumplings were Yu’er’s favorite food. It seemed that Huo Ci had unknowingly remembered it.
“Do you want to eat it?” Nangong Lengyu was really convinced. Second Brother was too good and outstanding. “This latiao is my favorite. It would be so fragrant with the freshly made thousand-layer cake!”
