“Is she okay?” Huo Chuan asked with a smile.
Jiang Ran coughed. “Don’t worry, she’s not hurt at all. She just hasn’t been eating well these past few days. She’s a little malnourished, so she’ll be fine.”
“You should take care of yourself first.”
At that moment, footsteps came from outside the door.
“Huo Chuan, you bastard! If it weren’t for you, my sister wouldn’t have suffered like this!” Yun Qi cursed as he walked in and glared fiercely at Huo Chuan.
However, in the next second, all of Huo Chuan’s comrades turned towards him in unison, their eyes wide open.
A sense of oppression assaulted him. When he noticed all these strong men in front of him, Yun Qi’s head broke out in a layer of cold sweat.
Damn it! He didn’t expect so many soldiers to be standing in this room.
“Brother!” Yun Qing caught up with Yun Qi and stopped him. “Calm down.”
The moment she entered the room, the expressions of the soldiers changed immediately. They looked at her in unison and shouted, “Hello, sister-in-law!”
Yun Qing was speechless.
What happened? Why did they suddenly call her sister-in-law?
“Sister-in-law? Since when did my sister become your sister-in-law?” Yun Qi asked as he protected Yun Qing by his side.
“I’ve already divorced Huo Chuan. You can just call me Yun Qing,” Yun Qing said lightly.
However, it was undeniable that when she heard the “earth-shattering” form of address in unison just now, there was still a ripple in her heart.
This sentence made Huo Chuan’s heart clench up. However, when he saw that Yun Qing had already regained her health, he threw this trace of displeasure to the back of his mind. He was even a little relieved.
“I want to have a private chat with Yun Qing.”
Suddenly, Huo Chuan’s deep voice sounded. Yun Qing looked at him in surprise.
A private chat with her? About what?
“Yes, Sir!” Captain Xu winked at his subordinates at the side and immediately led them out.
When Yun Qi heard this, he was unhappy. “What is there to talk about with our Little Qing?”
Yun Qing looked at the bandage around Huo Chuan’s waist. After thinking for a moment, she said to Yun Qi, “It’s okay, Third Brother. You can go out first.”
“Little Qing…”
Yun Qing gave him a look and Yun Qi had no choice but to leave Huo Chuan’s room obediently.
After a few days of silence, Yun Qing had thought things through.
Although Huo Chuan had saved her, Huo Chuan had still hurt her badly in the past. There was no need for her to have a good impression of him just because he had saved her.
“Thank you for saving me.” Yun Qing sat down and went straight to the point. “Are you feeling better now?”
“Yes.”
It was rare for Yun Qing to show concern for him, so Huo Chuan smiled.
“Huo Chuan, I want to make it clear to you.” Yun Qing took a deep breath and took the initiative. “I’m very grateful that you saved me, but that doesn’t mean that I will forgive you.”
Huo Chuan’s eyes widened, and his heart sank.
He thought that after this incident, Yun Qing would change her opinion of him, but…
“I can give you whatever you want, including some projects under the Yun Group.” Yun Qing glanced at Huo Chuan’s injuries and was willing to give him some compensation.
Yun Qing seemed to have returned to the business world, as if she was negotiating.
Seeing her like this, Huo Chuan’s smile froze, and he looked at her with a gaze that was a little deep and complicated.
For a moment, he even wished that time could return to the time when they were on the uninhabited island. At least at that time, the estrangement between Yun Qing and him was an afterthought, unlike now, when they seemed to be separated by a newly-bricked wall.
He had a million emotions in his heart, but under Yun Qing’s gaze, he did not know how to express them.
After a long while, his hoarse voice sounded, and he lowered his posture to the lowest, “I want you.”
Huo Chuan’s eyes were filled with suppressed and restrained emotions as he stared at Yun Qing.
As soon as he finished speaking, the air almost froze.
Yun Qing’s brain buzzed. She had never thought that Huo Chuan would actually want her?
Did she mishear it?
Back then, Huo Chuan had thrown her away like she was trash. Why did he say that he wanted her now?
Yun Qing’s heart was pounding wildly. She did not know how to respond to Huo Chuan’s words.
Huo Chuan’s actions on the island showed her that Huo Chuan’s attitude towards her had indeed changed.
However, she did not dare to trust Huo Chuan anymore.
She had already experienced so much heartache from him. She did not want to experience it again.
