Huo Yuan Ze's nerves were fired up and felt there was electricity running down his back. He restrained his lust and only kissed her forehead lightly.
"Not enough." Jiang Xun bit her lip, looking up at him.
"Behave." Huo Yuan Ze shifted his gaze away, for the fear that he couldn't help but rectify her on the spot after a few more glances.
"Uncle Huo doesn't like me anymore."
Huo Yuan Ze furrowed his brow when he heard this. He was afraid of hurting her. Otherwise, he wouldn't have cared about the other things and already pressed her under him a long time ago. Seeing that she was still wilful, he straightened his face, wanting her to be obedient.
"Alright, stop making trouble."
Jiang Xun's expression immediately turned sullen as she turned away from him.
Huo Yuan Ze thought of what the doctor said and sighed secretly. Originally, he only thought she had poor health, he didn't expect her body to become this fragile. In his heart, slight compassion and pity bloomed for her.
System: "Huo Yuan Ze's affection value has increased again. Right now, his feelings for you will soon change from liking to love."
The corners of Jiang Xun's mouth moved. She ignored the system and instead pondered about what to do next.
Watching her lie motionless, Huo Yuan Ze reached out to rub her head. After a while, he heard a low sobbing sound and quickly turned her over.
Unexpectedly, he was met with a pair of big tearful eyes, which seemed to have been rinsed by spring water, translucent and glittering. It glowed with a pitiful light.
"Uncle Huo, I feel so painful and uncomfortable." Jiang Xun looked at him, whimpering. She was fine just now, who knew tears would suddenly burst out?
Huo Yuan Ze thought he wasn't a soft-hearted person. However, seeing her like this, his heart softened into a mess all of a sudden.
"Where does it hurt? I'll go call the doctor over." Huo Yuan Ze stared at her in trepidation.
"No." Jiang Xun shook her head.
How could Huo Yuan Ze listen to that? He forcibly pressed the pager on the hospital bed several times.
Soon the doctors and nurses came.
Jiang Xun had tears running down her face as she pulled Huo Yuan Ze's hand to prevent him from leaving.
The system didn't obtain Jiang Xun's reply just now, so it didn't leave. Seeing how painful Jiang Xun's appearance was, it was so shocked that it quickly checked her physical condition.
Only then did it discover that her heart rate and physical functions were normal, which showed that Jiang Xun was just pretending.
The system couldn't help shuddering, this prima donna was simply terrifying.
Even it felt so uncomfortable watching her cry like this and it was still a heartless system. It can just conceive how distressed Huo Yuan Ze must have felt.
It's going to flee, it can't watch her anymore.
The doctor examined Jiang Xun, but couldn't find any problems. Yet, seeing Jiang Xun's sorrow, his attitude towards Huo Yuan Ze was somewhat stern.
"Did I say she can't be stimulated, why are you making her emotional again?!"
Huo Yuan Ze's expression turned ugly as he didn't say a word. Instead, he stepped forward and held Jiang Xun's hand. Feeling the hand was extremely icy, the grasp Huo Yuan Ze had on her hand became even tighter.
"I'll prescribe some medicine for her later. Remember to have her take it on time." The doctor took off his stethoscope and instructed Huo Yuan Ze.
Huo Yuan Ze's gaze remained on Jiang Xun. She was closing her eyes and her eyelashes were trembling slightly. He wasn't sure if she was still in pain.
He nodded with his brows furrowed.
The doctor said a few more words to the nurse before leaving.
"Uncle Huo."
Only then did Huo Yuan Ze realize she had already opened her eyes and was expectantly staring at him.
"Eh?" Huo Yuan Ze's voice softened a lot, "Is it still uncomfortable?"
Jiang Xun pursed the corners of her mouth, nodding. "If Uncle Huo stays with me, I won't be uncomfortable."
"I'll sit right here with you."
"Aren't we going home?" Jiang Xun said softly.
"I've already filled the paperwork for hospitalization." Huo Yuan Ze responded.
"No, I don't want to be hospitalized, I want to go home." Jiang Xun unwillingly shook her head.
"Guai, it's better for you to live in a hospital." Hearing Huo Yuan Ze's tone, he has completely regarded her as a child.
Jiang Xun still shook her head, "No, the doctor said just now, you have to listen to me."
What the doctor said was clearly not this meaning. Huo Yuan Ze was about to refute, but when faced with Jiang Xun's aggrieved face, he still swallowed his words.
"Uncle Huo, just take me home. I still have to record a song tomorrow. In the afternoon, my manager arranged a variety show for me to participate in."
"No, your current body is like this, you have to rest at home." Huo Yuan Ze refused without even thinking about it.
Jiang Xun's eyes widened, "How can you be like this?"
She looked like she was about to cry again, causing Huo Yuan Ze's face that had just straightened out unconsciously become gentler.
"You can't tire yourself out."
"I won't be tired myself out, I'll rest the moment I feel the slightest tired."
Huo Yuan Ze didn't speak, as if he still disagreed.
Jiang Xun gritted her teeth, "You don't love me, I'm not going to be with you anymore."
Huo Yuan Ze's gaze instantly condensed into ice. As it landed on her, it gave her the illusion of being in a snow and ice environment.
His cold eyes made Jiang Xun suddenly feel that the man in front of her had become a stranger. He approached Jiang Xun with his lashes reflecting some shadow under his drooping eyes. He said in an extremely frigid voice, "You want to leave me?"
Jiang Xun was startled into silence.
Huo Yuan Ze's expression became even more solemn. He put his hand on Jiang Xun's face and rubbed his cold fingers on her cheek. That touch made Jiang Xun shudder.
"Uncle Huo..."
Huo Yuan Ze's dark eyes dilated slightly, "Answer me."
His fingers abruptly pinched her chin enough to make Jiang Xun feel a little pain, but not too unbearable.
"I... I don't, I just don't want to stay at the hospital..." Jiang Xun explained. Her face was ashen pale with a panicked appearance. Yet, in fact her fingers were trembling slightly because of the excitement in her heart. She likes to watch an originally aloof man become stained with anger because of her and blackened because she wanted to leave. This couldn't be more thrilling.
Huo Yuan Ze stared deeply at her. No one could tell what he was thinking.
After a long time, only when Jiang Xun's tense body became stiff did Huo Yuan Ze say, "Get up, I'll take you home."
Jiang Xun hesitantly asked, "Really?"
"Eh." Huo Yuan Ze nodded.
Jiang Xun smiled heartlessly. That radiant smile of hers almost suffocated Huo Yuan Ze and most of the negative weight in his heart dissipated.
"I just knew that Uncle Huo is the best. I like Uncle Huo the most."
"The most?"
Jiang Xun immediately changed her words, "I only like Uncle Huo!"
Huo Yuan Ze had no idea that one day he would feel so satisfied because of a woman's sweet words and his heart would even beat with joy due to this.
"I'll carry you." Huo Yuan Ze turned his back to her and bent down slightly.
Jiang Xun got up slowly and threaded her arms around his neck to hug him before jumping onto him.
After Huo Yuan Ze stabilized her, he straightened up slowly. He ordered his assistant, who was standing by the doorway without turning his head. "Grab Miss Jiang's things, then handle the discharge procedures."
The assistant watched Huo Yuan Ze walk to the end of the corridor before returning to his senses. This was the first time he saw Jiang Xun today and was also the first time he had seen Huo Yuan Ze be so close to a woman in five years since his time with him.
The assistant's expression seemed like he was watching a thriller.
He really wanted to take a photo and send it to the company's group chat, so that everyone could see that the iceberg president of the Huo Group also has this side to him.
...
Later that night, Jiang Xun slept at Huo Yuan Ze's house. She slept peacefully, but Huo Yuan Ze stayed awake almost all night to keep guarding her and stared at her face for a long time. Only when it was almost four in the morning did he hold her and sleep for two hours before getting up.
Whereas Jiang Xun was woken up by her assistant, Xiao Zhu's phone call. She opened her eyes and looked at the phone. It was already ten o'clock.
She had originally planned to head over to the recording studio to record the song at ten thirty, but now she's afraid it was too late.
Huo Yuan Ze definitely knew about it, but didn't wake her up. Jiang Xun hurriedly changed her clothes. Just when she was about to leave the house, she ran into Huo Yuan Ze's assistant. He had some breakfast in his hand and said Huo Yuan Ze had him bring it.
Jiang Xun remembered seeing him yesterday, so she waved her hand. "Don't have time, I still have something to do. I'll pass."
"Miss Jiang, wait a minute, where are you going? Let me drive you and you can eat breakfast in the car. That way I can also report back to President Huo."
Jiang Xun thought about it, "Alright."
The assistant let out a sigh of relief and quickly put on the shoes that he had just slipped off.
"Hurry up." Jiang Xun urged him while calling her Xiao Zhu. Initially Xiao Zhu was going to pick her up, but Jiang Xun asked him not to come and wait at the entrance of the recording studio. Who knew she would oversleep and be late?
As soon as the phone was connected, Jiang Xun heard Xiao Zhu speaking from that side. "Jiang Jiang, where have you been?"
Jiang Xun sighed and replied grievously, "I'm just heading out the door, help me apologize to everyone ah. Don't let everyone think that I'm being snobbish!"
Xiao Zhu paused, then laughed. "No, no, no, everyone is all worried about you. No one blames you, instead they want you to be careful on the road. But the recording teacher has to leave early for some business later, so if you arrive too late, you won't be able to completely record the song."
Jiang Xun responded, "It's like that ah, then I'll be as fast as possible. If I can't finish recording, let's find time next time."
"En, en."
Once Jiang Xun got into the car, Huo Yuan Ze's assistant handed Jiang Xun the breakfast he had bought. Jiang Xun opened it and peered inside. It was quite a lot, a huge bento and a thermal container. She didn't know what could be in it. Opening the container, Jiang Xun suddenly smelled the fragrant Green Vegetable Shrimp Congee. Then, she opened the bento box. There were two layers inside; the first layer was rice rolls and the other was Crystal Steamed Dumplings.
Breathing in this appealing scent, Jiang Xun's appetite was awakened.
"Why bring so much, I can't finish it all."
The assistant didn't turn his head. He answered, facing the road ahead. "If you can't finish it, just leave it. I'll bring them home and feed them to the stray dogs downstairs."
"I'm afraid of dirtying your car."
The assistant paused, "It's okay... This is President Huo's car. If it gets dirty, I will just clean it."
Jiang Xun was speechless yet found it funny. She pursed her mouth and stopped asking. She took a sip of porridge, then grabbed a steamed dumpling. The sensation of having her mouth filled with delicious food couldn't be greater.
However, before she could swallow it, her phone rang again.
Jiang Xun glanced down at the phone next to her.
It was from Xiao Zhu.
Jiang Xun blinked in confusion. What could be the matter?
Jiang Xun freed one hand to pick up the phone and answered, "What happened?"
"Jiang Jiang, you're on the hot search. Luo Chi posted a long text on Weibo, saying that he likes you and has liked you for the past ten years."
Jiang Xun froze. Before she could react, the phone vibrated again. It was a call from her manager.
While she was hesitating to pick it up or not, her manager hung up.
Jiang Xun asked Xiao Zhu, "When did it happen?"
"Just now, I suddenly saw it on Weibo."
Jiang Xun was about to talk, but her phone shook again. This time it wasn't her manager, but Huo Yuan Ze.
Calling at this time, it should be because of this incident.
