Wan Dou laughed at Yi Xiao’s awkward expression.
She had no special feelings for him, and just wanted to tease him, as he always had a serious look about him.
“Hey, can’t you be a little more gentle towards a lady?” Wan Dou asked Yi Xiao curiously as she wondered what kind of girl would fall for him.
“No, because you’re more like a man than a girl,” Yi Xiao said as he walked out the door.
“That’s why you’re still single!” Wan Dou bit back.
…
Huo Yunshen’s wheelchair was fastened onto the locking mechanism in the van while Xu Xiyan sat on the sofa. Xu Xiyan tilted her head as she looked at the man in front of her.
Only then did she notice that Huo Yunshen was wearing plain clothes and still had his slippers on.
Normally, Huo Yunshen was the kind of guy who would take care of his image whenever he went out. It was rare to see him out with rugged T-shirt and slippers.
The only explanation was that he’d left in a rush and hadn’t had the time to change.
Xu Xiyan thought of a possibility and smiled in her heart.
“Mr. Huo, why were you at the Red Palace Restaurant?” Xu Xiyan asked without showing her excitement.
Huo Yunshen paused for a few seconds before he replied.
“I was meeting a customer.”
He rubbed his nose after finishing the sentence, something that he would do whenever he lied.
A customer, huh?
What kind of customer could he have been meeting that would have only required him to simply wear a T-shirt and a pair of slippers?
“So, you wear slippers when you’re meeting your customers?” Xu Xiyan asked, looking at his legs.
“Well… it’s comfortable…” Huo Yunshen pondered.
Xu Xiyan almost laughed at his answer. She looked at Huo Yunshen and wondered why he wouldn’t just say that he was worried about her.
Xu Xiyan stopped teasing him and looked outside through the window. She remembered that they were on their way to the hospital and quickly stopped Huo Yunshen. “Wait, Mr. Huo, let’s go back to Shengshi Yujing. I don’t need to go to the hospital.”
“But, you’re hurt,” Huo Yunshen said.
“I just need to rest, and then I’ll be fine,” Xu Xiyan said.
She began to regret lying because she didn’t want to trouble Huo Yunshen. An extra trip for Huo Yunshen meant that he had to get in and out of the van an extra time, which was a tough job for him.
“No, what if you sustained an internal injury?” Huo Yunshen asked insistently.
“…”
Who told you to lie? Xu Xiyan screamed in her mind as she slapped herself in her imagination.
If they don’t find any damage, then I’m in huge trouble.
She kneeled in front of Huo Yunshen and shook his leg as she said, “Let’s go back, Mr. Huo. I don’t want to go to the hospital. I’m really hungry now, and I’d love to taste some of your food.”
Xu Xiyan was definitely hungry, as she hadn’t eaten much of anything at the restaurant because of the incident with Xiao Yuqian and Ma Haodong.
“…”
Huo Yunshen looked at the girl in front of him. Her silky smooth hair rested on her shoulders as she looked at him with her blinking eyes. Her white cheeks were slightly stained with red blushes because of the wine as she puffed her red lips a little. She was like a cute little lamb waiting to be eaten.
Is she flirting with me?
