Chapter 101 - 101: I’ve Been Married for Two Years and Have a Daughter
Nan Xing waited at the entrance of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce for an entire day, but she never saw Lin Wanli. She had clearly asked someone to look for the Secretary General of the Chamber of Commerce, but the Secretary General’s assistant only said that she would try to contact her, and then there was no further news.
Nan Xing watched as Secretary General Tao’s car drove away and she stared at the door of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce with resentment. She was also the girlfriend of a wealthy family. Why was she still standing there to endure such humiliation? Thinking of that, Nan Xing left the Chinese Chamber of Commerce in a huff.
Once she married into a wealthy family, her status might be higher than Lin Wanli’s. Did she need to do such a self-degrading thing like bootlicking?
In the VIP ward area of Qiaohe Hospital.
On the edge of the bed, the nurse was changing Huo Jiuxiao’s dressing. Lin Wanli could only lower her head, unable to look at the wound on Huo Jiuxiao’s right shoulder. Because the scar was the size of two palms, the outer skin was already dead, and the edges were dark brown. In the middle of the scar was bloody tender flesh. The cotton bud would be soaked in blood each time it

On the edge of the bed, the nurse was changing Huo Jiuxiao’s dressing. Lin Wanli could only lower her head, unable to look at the wound on Huo Jiuxiao’s right shoulder. Because the scar was the size of two palms, the outer skin was already dead, and the edges were dark brown. In the middle of the scar was bloody tender flesh. The cotton bud would be soaked in blood each time it touched.
Huo Jiuxiao tilted his head to look at Lin Wanli. He knew she was upset, so he reached out his left hand and held her fist.
“This injury needs to be treated for at least half a month. During this period, you must rest quietly and not move too much. The family members must supervise him. Otherwise, if it gets infected and leaves a scar, the gains will not compensate for the losses.” The nurse heaved a sigh of relief after changing the medication.
Actually, she wasn’t nervous at first, and Huo Jiuxiao himself didn’t have much of a reaction. But Lin Wanli’s tension made her subconsciously remind herself to be gentle. Otherwise, the beauty would cry.
The nurse was appointed because of Huo Jiuxiao’s identity, but she didn’t expect Lin Wanli to be Huo Jiuxiao’s wife. The two of them did not disclose their relationship. Logically speaking, their relationship should not be very good under such circumstances. However, judging from how they interacted, weren’t they crazily in love?
“I’ll remind him. Thank you, nurse.” Lin Wanli thanked the nurse.
After the nurse left, Huo Jiuxiao dragged her onto the bed. Lin Wanli pressed against the left side of Huo Jiuxiao’s chest and was speechless, “Didn’t the nurse just remind you not to make any big movements?”
“Hugging my wife shouldn’t count, right?” Huo Jiuxiao didn’t let her go. He whispered into her ear, “You can go back first. I have something to handle.”
[1…]
“I’m not trying to push you away.”
Huo Jiuxiao interrupted Lin Wanli’s inner thoughts.
Lin Wanli left Huo Jiuxiao’s arms and looked up at him as if she was warning him not to mess around.
Huo Jiuxiao chuckled, then deliberately frowned as if he was protesting. After all, he was the Jinchuan Yama that everyone feared.
[If you don’t want me to be bothered about you, then I won’t.]
“My wife is starting to learn how to be sarcastic in her heart.” After saying that, Huo Jiuxiao got off the bed, “Let’s go.”
[I’m not coming tonight either. I’m going to have dinner with someone tonight.]
“OK.”
Lin Wanli held back her laughter and walked out of the ward without saying anything. There was news from Yan Qiu that her mother’s divorce was going smoothly. On the other hand, Nan Xing left angrily after waiting for half a day at the Chinese Chamber of Commerce. She must have felt that she was about to become part of a wealthy family, so she was extremely disdainful.
Everything was under control. She could not escape the fate of disappearing from Jinchuan whether or not she saw Nan Xing. However, the taste of betrayal should be tasted by all parties involved. Therefore, Lin Wanli planned to invite the other two students from the school dormitory to dinner as a way to thank them for taking care of her in school.
After Lin Wanli left, Duan Yanxing walked from the shadows toward Huo Jiuxiao’s ward.
He had been ordered to stay with Lin Wanli, so he naturally knew how much pain she was in when Huo Jiuxuao was rescued.
It turned out that there were people in the world who loved Huo Jiuxiao deeply, and Huo Jiuxiao was not completely disgusted with the world as he thought. It turned out that when Huo Jiuxiao said that he wanted to come back alive, it was because he had someone he cared for.
“You really proved me wrong. You asked me to protect Lin Wanli, so I always thought that the both of you were in a platonic relationship.” Duan Yanxing leaned against the wall and crossed his arms as he said, “Besides when you were in the emergency room, I was still wondering what was so good about that woman. She is ruthless and vicious. But when I saw her crying outside the emergency room yesterday, I suddenly understood why you fell in love.”
“Moreover, she even spread the news to go against the Huo family. Although she overestimated herself, she is pretty brave.”
However, just as Duan Yanxing finished his sentence, an apple flew toward his chest and hit him.
“Talking bad about my woman in front of me?”
“So what if you’re attached now?” Duan Yanxing was speechless. He took a bite of the apple with his other hand.
However, Huo Jiuxiao snorted coldly, looked at Duan Yanxing, and said, “You’re too naive. I’ve been married for two years and have a daughter.”
Duan Yanxing widened his eyes in shock.
“You…”
“I’ve already issued the bounty. There will be news of Lu Xunyan by latest tomorrow night.” Huo Jiuxiao suddenly changed the topic.
“Same old rules? However, the Huo Family may not be afraid of a deaf person like you now.” Duan Yanxing shrugged.
“Who wants to follow the old rules?” Huo Jiuxiao asked casually, then said, “The car accident from ten years ago and the schemes they had plotted for the past ten years, I have to pay back a part of it.”
“Who do you want to use? Lu Xunyan? Are you willing?”
“Between disappearing and going to jail, he has to choose one.” At that moment, Huo Jiuxiao’s eyes were filled with cold, killing intent, “I’ll leave it to you when you find him. I want to hear no other news apart from the Huo family’s second wife being hospitalized.”
“Jiuxiao… ”
“One won’t feel the pain unless the knife is stabbed on him. Yanxing, do you understand?”
Duan Yanxing wanted to say something more, but he knew very well that Huo Jiuxiao had already given in for ten years. This time, whether it was the Huo family or Lu Xunyan, they all wanted to kill him again.
“I’m afraid you’ll push things to a dead end and leave no way out for yourself.
You have a wife and daughter now.”
“Then teach me, what should I do?” Huo Jiuxiao laughed mockingly, “As long as one party doesn’t die, the pestering won’t end. You won’t understand this feeling.”
“Do as I say. If things go out of control, I will take responsibility. This is a problem that I have to face if I want to live. If I lose control one day, at least I’ve tried my best. I didn’t go back on my promise.”
Duan Yanxing sighed and nodded, “I understand. Also, although it’s a little late,
I want to congratulate you on becoming a father.”
“Thanks.” Huo Jiuxiao’s expression softened when he heard the word ‘father.’
If that was the case, Huo Jiuxiao might have been able to survive, but he was still being dragged down.
It was his sin to be born into the Huo Family..
