Chapter 446: Chapter 443

These simple words, inexplicably, smashed into Huo Qi’s heart one by one.

They left him stiff all over, staring blankly at him.

No one knew what he was thinking at that moment, only that his breath seemed to catch, and his heart seemed to have stopped beating.

He came… to take care of him?

The afternoon light grew more intense.

When it shone in, the beam of light that fell on the person in the hospital bed seemed to coat him in a layer of golden, soft light.

Huo Qi gazed at his ethereal features without blinking, and they just looked at each other like that.

For a moment, he felt as if his body lightened, as if he had instantly stepped into the depths of his eyes, and his heart skipped a beat.

Suddenly.

Huo Qi saw him lift his slender, fair hand.

Then, those cool fingers pinched his jaw.

Huo Qi: “…”

His body froze, and his thick eyelashes trembled slightly.

Professor, what are you trying to do…?

Xiao Yixing still gazed at him, but the thoughts in his eyes were too hard to decipher.

Huo Qi didn’t understand and couldn’t help but blush slightly, stammering:

“What, what are you doing, didn’t you say, we shouldn’t touch… arbitrarily…”

That statement made Xiao Yixing look at him deeply, and he rubbed his fair chin with his fingertips twice.

Huo Qi gave a somewhat pained grunt.

The man on the bed then withdrew his hand and his gaze, indifferently uttered:

“I said you can’t touch recklessly.”

He didn’t say he couldn’t.

Huo Qi: “…”

Damn.

He felt a mess inside, as if he had been bullied.

How unjust.

…

Meanwhile, a sedan drove into the hospital downstairs.

Moments later, Lu Xiao was holding Wen Xian as they walked out of the elevator.

The two had just gotten their marriage certificate. The sweet bliss in Wen Xian’s heart was swelling warmly, making her look much better than before.

Indeed, a person’s state of mind can affect so many things.

“Husband, did the doctor say when I can be discharged?”

Wen Xian’s voice was soft and sweet.

That cutesy call of “husband” almost made Lu Xiao too thrilled.

His eyelids twitched, and he cleared his throat heavily before saying, “Don’t rush, it will take a couple of days, don’t worry, I’ll be with you the whole time.”

Otherwise, under the current circumstances, he wouldn’t be at ease.

Wen Xian was reassured upon hearing this; having him by her side was enough for her.

As they were about to reach the ward, they suddenly heard some arguing coming from inside.

Hmm?

Wen Xian frowned.

Why did it sound like a familiar voice, it seemed like…

Realizing something, she suddenly widened her eyes.

Huo Qi!

She had completely forgotten that before she left, she had hurriedly sent Huo Qi her address in her urgency.

She covertly glanced at Lu Xiao and indeed saw the Captain frowning.

Wen Xian felt a bit awkward.

At that moment, as they reached the door, a cold male voice could barely tolerate:

“Didn’t I tell you to mop the floor? Can’t you see the dirty mess you’ve made on the floor!?”

The fastidious Professor Xiao, seeing the marks Huo Qi had made on the floor, scolded.

And Huo Qi, feeling utterly disliked, felt both ashamed and angry.

He had never done such chores in his life; infuriated, he grabbed a broom from the corner and defiantly retorted:

“Can’t I, your lordship, sweep the floor before I mop it!”
