Chapter 388 - 388 Spare Poison
Huo Qi didn’t mind Yuan Yi’s coldness towards him. He knew Yuan Yi’s love for his disciple fueled those harsh words.
Mr. Huo, who had a smile in his eyes, looked at the master who looked at him with disdain and nodded. “I understand, Second Master. I’ll take good care of Qingqing. Don’t worry!”
Yuan Yi reached out to touch Su Qing’s face and exhaled imperceptibly. He looked at Huo Qi and instructed, “I’m warning you, Huo Qi. Qingqing isn’t an adult yet! You’d better not be too beastly, or I’ll teach you a lesson.”
The head of the Huo family, who controlled the lifeline of the underworld in B City, smiled helplessly and begged the old man in front of him for mercy. “I have evil intentions, but I don’t have the guts to do so! Master, you’re really overthinking. I’m not such a beast!”
“It better be! I’m watching you.” As Yuan Yi spoke, he turned to look at his precious disciple and chuckled. “If Huo Qi really dares to bully you, tell me. I’ll deal with him for you! The spare poisons that I left at home will be useful!”
Mr. Huo, who was angry but didn’t dare to say anything, thought, Master, you’re really not shy at all. I’m standing in front of you. Shouldn’t you avoid saying this in front of me when you’re preparing to poison me at any time?
Su Qing only felt that her master and Huo Qi were a little strange today. She couldn’t say the details, but she felt that she had been entrusted upon Huo Qi. Or rather, it was more accurate to say that an old father was marrying off his daughter.
After breakfast, Su Qing and Huo Qi bade farewell to Second Master Yuan at the entrance of the hotel.
The weather in Country M wasn’t very good. It started to rain. When Su Qing and Huo Qi appeared at the hospital again, it was already 11 a.m.
The patient’s condition was not bad. Perhaps because the surgery was too major and complicated, she had yet to fully wake up. However, when Su Xing was guarding her this morning, she gently opened her eyes once, but immediately fell asleep again.
Su Xing, who had been on guard all night, was overjoyed. If not for Dr. Ethan’s advice, Su Xing would have announced it to the world!
The An couple cried until their eyes turned red and accompanied Su Xing for the entire night. When it was almost dawn, they were ordered by Dr. Ethan to go back and rest, so when Su Qing and Huo Qi arrived at the ward, there was only Su Xing inside.
“Eldest Brother, didn’t you rest?” Su Qing let go of Huo Qi’s hand and took a step forward to Su Xing’s side.
Huo Qi placed the food in his hand on the table in the resting area beside the ward and turned to look at Su Xing. He said, “You haven’t eaten breakfast this morning, right? Come and eat first. We’re here to help!”
Su Xing took a few glances at An Le, who was lying on the bed. This time, he turned to look at his sister and Huo Qi, who was standing at the back and talking.
His sister looked very well and her face was flushed. She must have had a good rest. The thick-skinned Huo Qi had taken good care of her, but Huo Qi himself didn’t seem to have rested well.
Seeing that her brother was only staring at Huo Qi in a daze, Su Qing raised her hand and held Su Xing’s arm. She pulled him up from the bed and pushed him to the table. She gently pursed her lips and said, “Let’s eat first. After dinner, go and sleep. I’ll stay here and look after Sister An Le here. Look at the dark circles under your eyes. You’re almost turning into a panda!”
A faint smile appeared on Su Xing’s lips. His eyes were filled with gentleness as he looked at his sister. “Alright, Qingqing, Eldest Brother will do that! You should sit down too. Big Brother has something to tell you.”
Su Qing glanced at Huo Qi, who was sitting on the sofa. She took a step forward and sat down beside Huo Qi. She didn’t forget to bargain with Su Xing. “Then eat while you talk. Hurry up and eat.”
Seeing his sister take the initiative to approach Huo Qi, Young Master Su didn’t say anything else. He suppressed the corners of his mouth that were twitching slightly and opened the food box in front of him.
He asked softly, “Where’s Uncle Yuan? Why didn’t he come with you?”
