Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Huo Jiuxiao ignored Song Huaishu and sent a message to Lin Wanli after turning into a crate, “I have to be discharged tonight. I have something to do.”
The wife, “Something I can’t know again?”
Huo Jiuxiao, “It’ll be a bloody scene, so it’s better if you don’t see it.”
The wife, “You can’t have big movements due to your wound. You know that, right?”
Huo Jiuxiao, “I thought you would call the police.”
The wife, “You’re not that kind of person, Huo Jiuxiao. You’ve never been!” He was never a demon that bullied the weak and killed without blinking.
Seeing Lin Wanli’s reply, Huo Jiuxiao chuckled. He felt that his wife was still too naive. For someone used to seeing fights and walking in blood, he was really not used to being so pure.
However, that happiness was very direct and simple.
Huo Jiuxiao, “Haven’t you hoped I will return to the so-called ‘right path’?”
The wife, “Lin Wanli only wants Huo Jiuxiao to be happy.”
Huo Jiuxiao’s heart felt like it was pricked when he saw that. His eyes suddenly felt a little warm. His wife often said she understood him and never wanted to change him. She had given him too much tolerance and waiting. In the relationship, her only wish was for him to be happy.
With Ah Li accompanying him, he should be happy.
The wife, “Oh right, my Mom said she wants to see you from afar. If you hear what she’s thinking, don’t take it to heart.”
Huo Jiuxiao, “Why does she have to look from afar?”
The wife, “Maybe because I’m protective. I don’t want you to be unhappy because of these worldly things.”
Huo Jiuxiao, “Oh.”
His wife really doted on him, but he couldn’t take it for granted, could he?
After putting down his phone, Huo Jiuxiao suddenly looked up and said to Song
Huaishu, “Go and get me discharged, then return to Yujing Peak.”
“Master Xiao, your body hasn’t recovered yet. You have to change your medicine every four hours…”
However, Huo Jiuxiao stared at Song Huaishu without saying a word.
Song Huaishu immediately raised his hands in surrender, “I’ll do it now!”
On the other side, Lin Wanli had just finished preparing supplementary food for Youran and was about to tease her daughter when an unfamiliar text message appeared on her phone.
“Wanli, I’m Nan Xing. I want to see you. I don’t know if you’re still willing to acknowledge me as a friend. I want to have a good talk with you about what happened two years ago.”
The previous day, she was still waiting outside the Chinese Chamber of Commerce and pretended that she did not have her contact. At that moment, she could no longer pretend.
However, Lin Wanli ignored her. She put down her phone and picked up the bowl again.
“Wanli, I saw the news about you recently. I’m really afraid. I’m afraid you’ll misunderstand me, so I want to explain it to you.”
Nan Xing sent about ten messages, but Lin Wanli did not reply to any of them.
She had given her too much face in the past. Now, she had to let her know that she didn’t need to pay attention to her just because she wanted to contact her or see her just because she wanted to.
Nan Xing should have a good taste of nervousness and anxiety.
When Yan Qiu, who was standing at the side, saw that Lin Wanli did not respond to the text message, she said to Lin Wanli, “President Lin, I’ve already made arrangements for the person you asked me to pick up tomorrow night. There won’t be any accidents. The hotel and location the Yue Group had booked had also been confirmed. Tomorrow night will be a big event.”
“After all, we invited everyone from the company. How can it not be big?” Lin
Wanli snorted and laughed, “Have you arranged our seats?” “Don’t worry. It’s the best spot to watch the show.” Yan Qiu replied.
“Then tomorrow’s show will be exciting.”
The master and servant were discussing how to deal with Nan Xing when Aunt
Qi suddenly ran into the children’s room and said to Lin Wanli, “Madam,
Master Xiao is back and bumped into your mother.”
Lin Wanli was stunned for a moment and handed the bowl to Yan Qiu, “I’ll go take a look.”
Downstairs, Huo Jiuxiao was already in the garden. At that moment, he was wearing a gray suit. He looked very superior and energetic, without any signs of injury.
Lin Xueyi was stunned. After all, that was not the first time she had seen Huo Jiuxiao. She saw coldness and hostility in the young man. Even just a look from him could send chills down her spine.
The two of them looked at each other. Then, Huo Jiuxiao turned his head and instructed Song Huaishu, “Go tell Aunt Qi to make a pot of tea.”
“Okay, Master Xiao.”
Actually, Song Huaishu wanted to see Master Xiao fight his mother-in-law, but Master Xiao purposely sent him away.
“No…there’s no need…”
“I’m sorry, Mother. I haven’t officially met you and married Ah Li.” Huo Jiuxiao lowered his voice and slowed down.
Lin Xueyi was overwhelmed by the unexpected favor. Her wildly beating heart finally returned to normal and stopped beating back and forth in her throat.
“If you don’t mind, let’s have a cup of tea together.”
And what Lin Wanli saw when she went downstairs was such a scene. Huo Jiuxiao and Lin Xueyi sat facing each other at a table in the garden. It was completely different from what she had imagined.
[It doesn’t seem as bad as I imagined?]
[You sneaked back even though your shoulder was injured. Huo Jiuxiao, you really fell in love.]
Huo Jiuxiao listened to his wife’s inner thoughts and faintly smiled. There was no one that Master Xiao could not handle. He did not want to maintain the ways of the world, but it did not mean that he did not understand the ways of the world.
Otherwise, how could he negotiate a deal worth hundreds of millions?
[I don’t seem to have the right to ask about Ah Li’s marriage. After all, I’m an example of failure myself.]
Soon, Aunt Qi brought tea to the two of them, and Huo Jiuxiao poured tea for
Lin Xueyi personally. However, his right hand moved too widely, causing Lin Wanli, who was hiding in the dark and listening in the corner, to feel heartache.
[It’s just that Jiuxiao has too many enemies. I’m still a little worried.]
“Mother, you must be dissatisfied with me, right?”
After Lin Xueyi heard that, she quickly waved her hand, “No…No, I don’t.”
“After all, normal people will be worried that their daughters will go astray with someone like me.” Huo Jiuxiao said seriously.
“However, every cent I earn is clean. I didn’t kill anyone, and I didn’t do anything illegal. I pay taxes on time every year. The reason why I’m notorious to the outside world is just to protect myself.”
“So, please believe in me, Mother.”
Lin Xueyi was a little surprised. After all, Huo Jiuxiao, in the eyes of the outside world, had always acted according to his mood and seemed very unstable. However, the young man sitting in front of her was not only mature and steady but also seemed to have an unknown sensitivity and exquisiteness.
Lin Xueyi opened her mouth and was about to say something when she noticed a patch of blood on Huo Jiuxiao’s shoulder.
“I believe everything you say, but your injury…”
“It’s alright.” Huo Jiuxiao turned his head and looked at her calmly, “Ah Li is a stubborn person. If I don’t make my attitude clear, she will let her imagination run wild.’
Lin Wanli couldn’t hold herself back and ran out to drag him up from the chair,
“Go back to your room and change your dressing..”
