“Don’t go to the first round tomorrow?’
Xia Cha had not expected Huo Heng to say such words!
They had known each other for two years. Although he was domineering, paranoid, and possessive, he had never interfered in her choices.
He had once said that he would not force her to be with him if she really fell in love with someone one day.
But before that, she could only be his.
He had never interfered with her singing on the JP stage before. Why would he not let her participate in a proper competition for no reason?
“Why?” Xia Cha frowned and asked in confusion.
“You’re still young. The entertainment industry is not suitable for you.. Uou can participate when you graduate from high school and have a suitable opportunity.”
Xia Cha looked at his serious side profile and found it funny. “You think too highly of me. I might not pass the preliminary round.”
“Remember what I said. You’re not allowed to go tomorrow.”
Without giving her another chance to speak, he started the engine and drove off.
Xia Cha pulled the handrail and asked him to stop several times. However, he did not stop. Instead, he drove very fast.
Half an hour later, the sports car stopped outside the villa.
Jian Yi heard the sound and waited at the entrance of the villa. When she saw Huo Heng getting out of the car, her face tensed up. She asked with concern, “Heng’er, what’s wrong?”
Huo Heng didn’t say anything. He strode toward the villa.
Ever since he woke up from the car accident, Huo Heng rarely acted like this in front of her, as if he had been agitated by something.
Jian Yi was about to follow her in when he saw Xia Cha coming out of the passenger seat.
Xia Cha’s face turned pale. After getting off the car, she covered her chest and retched.
Jian Yi widened her eyes when she saw Xia Cha retching. However, given her own experience, she quickly reacted.
“Cha Cha, do you want to vomit?” Jian Yi walked over and held Xia Cha’s hand.
Xia Cha did not understand the meaning behind Jian Yi’s words and nodded.
“Quick, come in and have a seat.”
After Jian Yi helped Xia Cha into the house, she asked the butler to pour her a cup of lemonade. Seeing Xia Cha finish it in one go, Jian Yi’s eyes were filled with joy.
“Cha Cha, go upstairs and rest in Heng’er’s room! You need to rest more in your current state!”
Although Jian Yi was a wealthy lady, she treated people gently and treated Xia Cha like her own daughter. Ever since she found out that Huo Heng had set his eyes on Xia Cha, she was always friendly and warm toward the latter.
“Auntie, I’ll just sit on the sofa for a while.”
“Alright, alright.” The host brought out the snacks she had personally made and prepared some fruits. “I’ll go up and call Heng’er. That child must be too happy!”
Xia Cha looked at Jian Yi with a puzzled expression. She did not know why she was so happy. When Huo Heng came back, he had a scowl on his face…
Jian Yi found Huo Heng in the bathroom. That brat was pouring cold water on his face.
Jian Yi pulled down the towel and handed it to Huo Heng. “Mom knows you’re happy. Although Cha Cha is a little young now, she has keep it. Don’t you think so?”
Huo Heng raised his hand and wiped away the tears on his face. He turned to look at the smiling Jian Yi. “Mom, what are you talking about?”
Jian Yi patted Huo Heng’s arm and said, “Are you still trying to hide it from Mom? Cha Cha has already admitted it. They say pregnant women love sour food. Cha Cha just drank a cup of lemon water in one go. She must be pregnant with my precious grandson, right?”
Huo Heng took the towel from Jian Yi and wiped away the water droplets on his face. “Mom, since when did she get pregnant with your little golden grandson? I’ve never even kissed her. How would you get a little golden grandson?”
Huh???
Jian Yi was stunned for a few seconds. A moment later, she slapped Huo Heng’s back angrily and said, “You brat, I saw Cha Cha retching.”
“I drove too quickly and she got dizzy.”
“You stupid kid, why were you driving so fast? You don’t know how to be gentle with the fairer sex. When will you win Cha Cha’s heart?”
“Mom, you don’t have to worry about that.”
“Why don’t I help you?”
“No, she’s still young. We’ll talk about it after the college entrance examination.”
“Damn brat, I’ve never seen you so sensible before. You’ve really changed!”
Huo Heng pushed his mom out of the room and said, “You should go downstairs and accompany your daughter-in-law. I want to be alone for a while.”
Before Jian Yi could say anything, Huo Heng had already closed the door.
…
After Jian Yi left, Huo Heng took a cold shower for two hours.
He only came out of the bathroom when he started sneezing.
At night, Jian Yi personally went to the kitchen and asked Xia Cha to call Huo Heng for dinner.
Upstairs, Xia Cha knocked on Huo Heng’s door. “Young Master Huo, your mom wants you to go down for dinner.”
No one responded.
“Young Master Huo?”
After a minute, Xia Cha saw that there was still no response. She pushed the door open.
The door was pushed open and Xia Cha peeked inside.
The moonlight shone in from the window. The man’s tall figure was curled up on the bed, looking a little weak.
Weak?
When this word appeared in Xia Cha’s mind, she immediately shook her head and denied it.
Young Master Huo was always full of energy, how could he be weak?
“Time for dinner.”
Seeing no reaction from him, Xia Cha walked into the room and gently pushed him.
When she touched his arm, she realized that his skin was shockingly hot.
She hurriedly touched his forehead again.
He had a fever!
Xia Cha hurriedly went downstairs to call Jian Yi. But when she headed downstairs, Jian Yi and the servants in the house had already left.
Jian Yi had left a note on the dining table: Cha Cha, have a good time together with Heng’er tonight.
Xia Cha bit her lip and wanted to leave.
But when she thought of the man upstairs who was burning badly, she couldn’t bear to be ruthless.
She took out his cell phone and called Jian Yi.
Jian Yi was even more ruthless than she had imagined. Her phone was actually turned off.
Xia Cha had no choice but to return upstairs.
She found a small medicine box in Huo Heng’s room and she took out some cold medicine.
She crushed the medicine and placed it in a cup of water. Then, she helped him up from the bed and fed him the medicine.
After he finished the medicine, she brought out a basin of water from the bathroom and placed a towel on his forehead.
After taking care of him for almost an entire night, Xia Cha felt extremely sore.
She lay on the bed and fell asleep unknowingly.
By the time she woke up, it was already the afternoon of the second day.
The curtains were drawn tightly and the light from outside could not enter. At first glance, one would think that it was night.
Thinking of the preliminary test this afternoon, Xia Cha suddenly lifted the blanket.
He walked to the guest room and took a quick shower.
As she came out of the room and reached the top of the stairs, she met Jian Yi.
“Cha Cha, you’re awake?”
“Auntie, I’m sorry. I overslept.”
“Cha Cha, Heng’er went to the company and will be back soon. You took care of him last night. He wants to bring you for a candlelight dinner tonight.”
“Auntie, I have something on this afternoon, so I can’t stay.”
Jian Yi remembered what Huo Heng told her before he left. She could not let Xia Cha leave. She held Xia Cha’s hand and said, “Cha Cha, come and chat with Auntie.”
