“No thanks.”
“I’m not Lu Zhaoyang, there’s really no need to push yourself.”
She took a spoonful of rich and creamy chicken soup to his lips.
Huo Chen opened his mouth without further protest.
The room turned quiet.
Wen He noticed that Huo Chen wasn’t behaving like his usual self, as though this was a different side of him.
Perhaps he would only ever show this gentle side to Lu Zhaoyang.
She had seen Lu Zhaoyang a few times and only remembered her as a woman with good looks.
She seemed to be the gentle type too. Even Lu Bai liked her. She recalled that Lu Zhaoyang had helped Lu Bai before, so she was probably a kind person.
Wen He suddenly realized that the only thing she and Lu Zhaoyang had in common was their good looks. Their personalities were complete opposites.
“Does it feel warm? Do you want a bed bath?”
“No thank you.” Huo Chen laid back down on bed.
Wen He puckered her lips and started to clear up the utensils. “This is the first time I’m taking care of someone, and yet you reject me! Fine, let me know if you need anything. You owe me, so you have to help me with something. Owing someone a favour is not a good feeling.”
Huo Chen had guessed that she had a hand in accelerating the process toward his operation.
“I will try my best to repay this favor.”
Just two days ago, Huo Zhenning had decided to sell the Huo family business to Thunderbolt Corp. It was also Yunting’s twisted way to help the family business.
The family business did not need him anymore.
If Yangyang decided to stay by Yunting’s side and not return to Washington, and if his eyesight fully recovered, he might just agree to old Mrs Huo’s idea of returning to the military.
“I admire this side of you, Officer Huo.”
Wen He smiled in relief. Had she known earlier about Huo Chen’s eye, she would have done everything she could to win a favour from him.
“Where is my phone? Did Yangyang say anything?”
Wen He took out his phone from his jacket and went back to the sofa.
There was one unread message.
Wen He looked read from the screen and said, “She said she’s waiting for your update, and that she wishes you happiness.”
That last part was a little odd.
“Alright.”
Huo Chen accepted the message calmly. News of Wen He visiting the family must have reached her.
Her reaction was reasonable, since he was no longer the man she loved the most.
In the next ten days, Huo Chen remained in bed. Old Mrs Huo would visit him every day at the hospital.
She wanted to spend time with her son and to bond with her future daughter-in-law.
Back in the city, Huo Li and Yan Se kept their eyes on Lu Bai, but the man seemed to stay indoors most of the time.
On the other hand, Lu Zhaoyang stayed at home ever since her argument with Huo Yunting.
Huo Yunting did not attempt to call her or explain himself.
It was toward the end of the month, when the company was busiest, that she finally went back to work.
In her office, it was to her surprise that there was not a huge mound of paperwork waiting for her. That was a relief.
She took a cursory glance at the calendar and found a date three days ahead circled in red.
It was… Aunt Qiu’s death anniversary!
She was still angry with Huo Yunting, but this was another matter entirely. She would visit her grave.
When it was almost time for her to leave, the financial department sent over a monthly audit report that required both her and Huo Yunting’s signatures. That meant she had to visit the man.
Huo Yunting look a quick look at her before signing the document.
“How’s Huo Xu?”
