"It doesn't hurt." Huo Yanqing walked towards the source of the sound.
Shuxin's eyes welled up with tears. "You've lost so much blood … How can it not hurt …"
Huo Yanqing raised his hand and gently touched Shuxin's head. "It's just a superficial wound. It really doesn't hurt."
"You're lying to me …" Shuxin did not know why, but her heart was throbbing with pain. She could not control her tears and they trickled down her face. "Doctor Ji said just now … Your injury is very serious …"
Huo Yanqing could hear the sobbing in Shuxin's voice. A trace of panic appeared in his eyes. His large hand moved from her head to her face. The wet touch caused the wrinkles between his brows to tighten. He said gently, "Why are you crying? Don't listen to his nonsense. He's lying to you. "
Shuxin turned her head away to avoid Huo Yanqing's hand. She was not a child. If it was just a superficial wound, it would not have taken so long to treat. She stood at the door and waited until her heart was in her throat.
Shuxin pursed her lips and did not make a sound. She began to sob.
Huo Yanqing reached out and pulled Shuxin into his arms.
Shuxin was stunned for a moment. When she came to her senses, she struggled in his arms.
"Don't move. You'll pull on my wound."
Shuxin immediately stopped moving and obediently allowed Huo Yanqing to hug her. Her nose was filled with his unique masculine scent and the faint smell of disinfectant.
Huo Yanqing only released her when the girl in his arms stopped crying. His large hand trailed down her long hair to her face. His warm fingertips gently wiped away the tears on her face. His deep voice was tinged with a hint of mockery. "The CEO of Huaxia Construction Company loves to cry. Isn't it bad if everyone knows?"
Shuxin was stunned for a few seconds before she realized that she was the CEO of Huaxia Construction Company.
Shuxin was amused by the way Huo Yanqing addressed her. It was the first time someone had called her that since she started the company. She smiled and wiped her tears as she whispered, "I don't like to cry."
Huo Yanqing held Shuxin's hand as they walked out of the room and into the study. Then, he gently pressed her shoulder and asked her to sit down on the sofa. He walked to the desk and took the laptop from it. He sat down beside Shuxin and handed the laptop to her. "Song Li will send you a video call later. Take it."
"Oh." Shuxin placed the laptop on the coffee table in front of her, adjusted her emotions, and sat upright to wait for the video.
About two minutes later, the video was sent over.
Shuxin bent over slightly and clicked "Accept". Immediately, a conference room appeared on the screen. It was full of people, most likely the senior management of the Huo Corporation.
Shuxin thought that she was only going to video call Song Li. She was shocked to see so many people. She was about to get up and leave when the man beside her said, "This is a video conference about the accident at the construction site today. You are a designer, so you should attend."
"Oh." Shu Xin sat down again after getting up halfway.
Everyone in the conference room looked at Shuxin on the screen with gossipy expressions. The senior management of the Huo Corporation did not know about the relationship between Shuxin and Shu Youkang. They were just curious. Why was Huo Yanqing, who had never been close to women, with the company's contracted designer?
Shu Xin seemed to be able to feel the burning gaze focused on her through the screen. She sat up even straighter uncomfortably.
"Let's begin." Huo Yanqing said. The senior management immediately looked away and began to speak.
