Nan Yu noticed that Huo Juanyan’s expression had become calm, and the madness from before was gone from his eyes, and she heard the implicit rejection in his words.
She twisted her wrist that had been painfully pinched and said indifferently, "It’s okay."
Then, recalling the incident at the door where Huo Juanyan had saved her, she pursed her red lips, turned away, and quickly wrote something on a piece of white paper.
She then handed the paper to him, "Get these herbs, and soak your legs in a medicinal bath every evening, and combine it with massage, it can gradually activate the nerves in your legs."
"Even if you can’t find the Ghost Doctor right now, this can restore some sensation to your legs."
Fearing his rejection, Nan Yu added, "Just consider it a thank you gift for saving me earlier, please accept it."
Huo Juanyan looked at her pale hand, the clear red marks on her wrist were ones he had just pinched out, his eyes darkening.
He turned back and gave Chen Li a look.
Chen Li immediately took the paper, "Thank you, Dr. Nan."
Nan Yu smiled slightly, saying nothing more.
Just at that moment, Li Chongbai came downstairs, holding something in his hand.
"Xiao Yu, come here."
Nan Yu turned to find Li Chongbai.
Huo Juanyan withdrew his gaze and looked toward Qi Fenghao, who was trying to sneak away.
"President Qi, in such a hurry to leave?"
Qi Fenghao stiffened all over, as if being tickled, and couldn’t help but feel a tingling on his scalp.
"Family Head Huo, I’m old and my body is weak, I need to go back and rest early."
"As for Vice Chairman Gu, I really can’t disclose her address and phone number, but she is currently the vice chairman of our association, if you want to find her, you might try your luck waiting for her at the association."
That was all he could say, not an extra word could he add.
Huo Juanyan closed his eyes, no longer troubling Qi Fenghao.
"President Qi, thank you."
Qi Fenghao took the opportunity to hurriedly leave the controversial place.
"Family Head Huo, I’ll be leaving first then."
Chen Li bent down and whispered in Huo Juanyan’s ear, "President Huo, don’t worry, I’ve already arranged a lookout in the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association, as soon as Vice Chairman Gu appears there, we’ll know immediately."
Huo Juanyan nonchalantly said, "Hmm, go ahead."
Chen Li, pushing the wheelchair, was just about to leave.
Suddenly, Li Chongbai’s voice came from behind, "Young Master Huo, wait, please take Xiao Yu home with you."
Huo Juanyan turned back to look at the assertive Li Chongbai, a hint of confusion emerging in his eyes.
He furrowed his brow, "I should take her home?"
Li Chongbai nodded, pushing Nan Yu toward him, "Xiao Yu’s driver said the car broke down on the road, can’t pick her up, and I still have things to attend to, can’t leave now. Since you’re about to leave, why not take Xiao Yu home?"
Nan Yu panicked, "Uncle Li, I can take a taxi home, no need to trouble him."
Seeing Nan Yu hesitating, thinking of their status as husband and wife, Li Chongbai presumed she was just shy, and replied hastily.
"Xiao Yu, it’s late, I’m not comfortable with you going back alone. And with Young Master Huo here, you don’t need to take a taxi, troubling him this once shouldn’t be a problem."
Hearing this, Nan Yu suddenly felt something off, but she couldn’t pinpoint what it was.
Before she could speak, Huo Juanyan spoke first, "Let’s go, I’ll take you home."
His voice was low and deep, carrying an undeniable pressure.
Nan Yu bit her lower lip, "Actually, there’s no need..."
"No need for what?" Li Chongbai immediately interrupted, dragging Nan Yu out, and forcibly stuffed her into Huo Juanyan’s car.
"Xiao Yu, going back with him is the only way I’ll be completely assured of your safety."
Nan Yu watched as Huo Juanyan also got into the car, sitting on the other side of the back seat, blocking her way out.
She forced an awkward smile, "Once we get past that intersection, you can drop me off, I can go back on my own."
Huo Juanyan pulled out a document and began to read it seriously, indifferently saying, "No need, give your address to Secretary Chen, let her take you
