"Song Li!" Huo Yanqing couldn't take it anymore, so he scolded him coldly, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Huo Yanqing's roar scared Song Li so much that he almost knelt down. He said in a trembling voice, "The Fifth Lord … I was wrong … I shouldn't have said so much …"
"She's running a fever. Get the car ready and have Chifeng wait at home."
Song Li was stunned. Huh? She didn't faint because of that. She's running a fever? Song Li wanted to slap himself for letting his imagination run wild and spouting nonsense. No wonder The Fifth Lord was angry.
"What are you waiting for?" Huo Yanqing asked again when he didn't hear any movement.
"Oh, I'll go get the car now." Song Li came back to his senses, turned around, and walked out of the office.
…
Shuxin woke up. When she opened her eyes and saw the unfamiliar environment around her, her mind went blank for a moment.
Her muddled thoughts gradually cleared up. Shuxin remembered that Huo Yanqing seemed to want to touch her face, so she fainted out of nervousness?
Shuxin sat up on the bed and looked around again. This was a bedroom. The decoration was low-key and luxurious, and there was very little furniture.
Wasn't she in Huo Yanqing's office? Why was she in someone else's bedroom?
Where was this place?
Shuxin lifted the blanket and wanted to get out of bed, but then she realized that there was a medical tape on the back of her hand. It was from an injection. Why was she given an injection?
Just as Shuxin was puzzled, the door opened from the outside. A woman in her forties or fifties came in. When she saw that Shuxin was awake, she said happily, "Miss Shuxin, you're awake. I'll go tell Yanqing." Then, she turned around and left.
Not long after, Shuxin heard steady and powerful footsteps walking towards her.
When the door opened again, Huo Yanqing walked in. He walked to the side of the bed, sat down, and reached out his large hand towards her.
Shuxin tilted her head and avoided Huo Yanqing's hand. Her voice was a little hoarse from her illness. "Fifth Uncle … what do you want?"
It was already embarrassing enough that she was knocked out by him. Why was he still doing it?
Huo Yanqing's voice was low with a hint of worry. "You have a fever. Let me see if your fever has subsided."
Shuxin blinked. "I … have a fever?"
"Yes." Huo Yanqing responded softly, "When we were in the office, I could tell that your voice was a little hoarse, so I thought that you must be sick. Just as I found out that you had a fever, you fainted."
So at that time, he didn't want to touch her face, but wanted to check if she had a fever?
Shuxin cursed in her heart. She wanted to dig a hole and bury herself in it.
However, she heard the man's deep and magnetic voice continue. "The wounds on your elbow and knee are infected. That's why you have a fever. Don't you know?"
"I don't know." Shuxin felt a little dizzy and light-headed when she got out of bed. However, she thought that it was because she had stayed up late. She had never thought that it was because her wounds were infected.
"Girls should know how to take care of themselves," said Huo Yanqing as he waved at her. "Come here. Let me check if your fever has subsided."
Shuxin didn't dare to trouble Huo Yanqing, so she quickly put her hand on her forehead. "It's subsided. It's not hot anymore."
Huo Yan's hand paused in the air for two seconds before he retracted it and gave a faint hum of acknowledgment.
Shuxin smiled to ease the awkward atmosphere. "Where are we?"
"My home."
"Your … your home?" Shuxin was tongue-tied.
"Mm." Huo Yanqing said calmly as if it was a normal thing.
