However, after Lu Ning fell asleep, she did not rouse again until dawn.
The first to wake up was Huo Jinyan. The pain from his wound woke him up.
When he awoke, he saw the unfamiliar environment in front of him and he felt a warm feeling in his hand. He lowered his eyes slightly and saw Lu Ning sleeping by the bed.
He was stunned for a moment. When he regained his senses, he patted herself—it was certainly not a dream.
When he looked at Lu Ning, there was a hint of gentleness in his eyes. His hand holding her wrist moved silently from her wrist to her palm, gently holding it.
Some tufts of hair fell in front of her face, blocking it from view. When Huo Jinyan raised his other hand, the sudden movement tugged at the wound. After being stunned for two seconds, he brought his hand near her face, gently brushing away her hair. Her beautiful little face appeared completely in his eyes again.
Huo Jinyan’s fingertips stopped at the top of her head, and a greedy thought suddenly emerged in his heart. His fingers moved slowly and gently, landing on her smooth forehead, and his fingertips felt soft.
Following her forehead, Huo Jinyan’s fingers landed near her eyes. If he moved his hand, he could touch her long eyelashes. They were so close, right in front of his eyes, right where he could touch them…
Chu Ting gingerly pushed the door open; as soon as he walked in, he looked up and met Huo Jinyan’s gaze.
“President Huo! You’re awake!”
Huo Jinyan motioned for him to keep his voice down. Chu Ting immediately shut his mouth and glanced at Lu Ning, who was lying there.
“Where are we?
Huo Jinyan asked softly.
Chu Ting also lowered his voice. “It’s Mr. Gu’s house. Miss Lu brought us here.”
“Mr. Gil?”
“Mr. Gu Chen and Mr. Gu Zi.”
Only then did Huo Jinyan understand.
Chu Ting looked at Lu Ning and said, “President Huo, last night was really dangerous. If Miss Lu hadn’t found us and brought you here for Mr. Gu for treatment, you might not have survived the night. Miss Lu even took care of you here for the entire night.”
It was clear that Lu Ning’s posture was not very comfortable. She had been sleeping soundly the entire night; her being so tired could also be considered a form of care…
Huo Jinyan’s gaze landed on Lu Ning’s face, and there seemed to be another emotion in his eyes.
“She
Before he could finish speaking, Huo Jinyan suddenly grunted and curled up in pain.
“President Huo! What’s wrong? Are you alright? I’ll go get Mr. Gu!”
Lu Ning was woken up in a daze and mumbled, “What’s happening?
Chu Ting stopped in his tracks and took a look. It turned out that Lu Ning had just raised her hand and hit Huo Jinyan’s wound.
Lu Ning rubbed her eyes and sat up; she stopped halfway.
“Miss Lu! What’s wrong? I’d better call Mr. Gu!”
With that) he dashed out.
Seeing how she was, Huo Jinyan propped himself up and looked at her. “What’s wrong?!”
Lu Ning placed her hands on her waist. “No, it’s nothing. It’s just that I’ve been in this position for too long and I’m feeling numb…”
Huo Jinyan looked at her worriedly. “Are you feeling better?”
Lu Ning moved slightly. “I’m feeling better. It’s fine, it’s fine. You should lie down.”
Huo Jinyan said, “I’m fine.”
Gu Zi jumped in. “What’s happened, Baby, are you okay?!”
Lu Ning moved again. “It’s fine, it’s fine. I’m much better. I’m just feeling numb.”
Gu Chen followed closely behind. When he saw Lu Ning’s expression, he roughly understood. He raised his hand and rubbed her waist. “Straighten your
Doay up and move around.”
Lu Ning straightened her body obediently and moved about. She also did not forget, and told Gu Chen, “Take a look at him. I might have touched his wound..”
