Huo Cixiao wondered if his wife was so uneasy because he knew too much. He asked in a hoarse voice, "What's going on? Can you explain it to me simply?"
Luo Beishi hearing this, Luo Beishi's eyes lit up. So Huo Cixiao didn't know what he had done before! That makes things easier!
"You've been bedridden for over a year. I'm your bride, arranged by your grandfather, and we're already married. As for the rest, I'll have Uncle Chen talk to you about it."
After Luo Beishi finished speaking, he glanced up at Huo Cixiao's expression, which remained indifferent. He showed no surprise or anger whatsoever.
Wasn't Huo Cixiao supposed to be short-tempered, sinister, and ruthless?
You wouldn't guess that from her; she has a rather aloof and comfortable air about her.
What Luo Beishi didn't know was that Huo Cixiao was listening intently to his wife's beautiful voice, completely ignoring the expression on her face as she listened.
"You're awake. Shall I have Uncle Chen call the doctor over for a check-up?" Luo Beishi probed again.
Huo Cixiao slowly opened his mouth and uttered two words: "No."
Luo Beishi: "..." Boss, he does have a bit of a temper, but he's not as irritable as others say; it's within his acceptable range.
"You've just woken up, it's best to go to the hospital for a check-up..." Luo Beishi tried to persuade this cold and somewhat stubborn man.
After a few seconds of silence, Huo Cixiao, "Okay, you can come with me."
Luo Beishi: "???" Are you sure you don't know anything? But Huo Cixiao has no reason to lie to him. Fine, even if Huo Cixiao doesn't tell him, he'll still stay with him.
"Okay, I'll go ask Uncle Chen to make the arrangements." Luo Beishi pressed the bell to call Uncle Chen up, despite Huo Cixiao's unsettling gaze.
When Uncle Chen came up and saw him, his face lit up with joy and tears. "Oh my! Young Master! You're awake! We need to get to the hospital for a check-up right away! Quickly, Madam, please help the young master get dressed. I'll secretly prepare the car."
Huo Cixiao saw Uncle Chen from afar, whom he hadn't seen for over a year. He had thought that Uncle Chen would look much older and more depressed because of him, but to his surprise, Uncle Chen looked even younger than he had two years ago.
"I'll go find you some clothes, it's cold outside." Luo Beishi stood by the bed, then turned and went to the dressing room.
That unbearable gaze was relentlessly pursuing him. What exactly did Huo Cixiao mean? He truly didn't understand.
Generally speaking, shouldn't one be shocked by their current situation upon waking up? Is this the demeanor of a big shot?
If it were Luo Beishi, he would go crazy after waking up.
Luo Beishi put on his own clothes first, then took Huo Cixiao's clothes and coat. Feeling it wasn't enough, he also grabbed a hat and scarf. Thinking it was so cold outside, he figured Huo Cixiao couldn't possibly wear ordinary socks, could he?
So I took another pair of cotton socks.
Satisfied, he then went to the bedside.
Huo Cixiao looked at his wife as she brought out a bunch of clothes. He didn't even know when he had such cute socks with dinosaur prints on them!
This severely damaged his image!
Just as he was about to say he'd throw it away, he remembered that his wife might have bought it for him... so he decided against it.
Luo Beishi never expected the big boss to be so obedient!
It's so cute when she reaches for her clothes!
Even with a straight face, he's inexplicably adorable! Damn, Luo Beishi thinks he's possessed! How could he possibly think of Huo Cixiao like that!
Is "cute" even a valid word to describe Huo Cixiao? That's practically a horror story!
Luo Beishi shook the water out of his head and wrapped a gray-black towel around Huo Cixiao.
The cool guy was surrounded; he was wearing a lot of layers and it was getting a bit hot.
Huo Cixiao watched Luo Beishi bent down to put dark green dinosaur socks on him, secretly taking a deep breath to suppress his temper.
Along the way, A Hu had a thousand words he wanted to say to Huo Cixiao, but he didn't dare. He was so excited that his legs were shaking.
No one expected that the young master would wake up on this day!
When the bodyguards received the news, they all hugged each other and cried!
He had just finished crying, but given that the young master usually had a bad temper and disliked noisy people, he was afraid that if he said anything more, the young master would throw him out of the car.
At this moment, Huo Cixiao was still looking at Luo Beishi.
Luo Beishi: "..."
Finally, unable to bear the gaze any longer, he lowered his voice and asked, "What's wrong?"
Huo Cixiao slowly spoke in a hoarse voice, "Tired."
Luo Beishi: "??? System, come out! What does he mean?!"
System: "A person in a vegetative state is used to lying down, so sitting in a car must be tiring. Host, please comfort them, I'm going to watch some TV."
Luo Beishi: "!!! Hey, don't go! You irresponsible system! How can you be like this?!"
In the end, Luo Beishi could only face it alone, tentatively asking, "Shall I lie down for a bit?"
Huo Cixiao nodded in satisfaction. "Hmm."
So A Hu saw in the rearview mirror that the young master, wearing a beige cashmere coat, a gray-black scarf, and a hat, was bending his long legs, resting his head on the young mistress's legs, and slowly lying down in the back seat.
A Hu: "..." This world is a bit surreal. Was the young master really not just flirting with the young mistress? Good heavens! Is this something he can even see?
Just then, A Hu felt a cold gaze sweep over his back, and a chill ran down his spine. A Hu dared not look, he dared not look again!
Even after the examination was completed, the doctor said there was nothing wrong, just that he would need some rehabilitation to recover. After returning home, Huo Cixiao remained expressionless.
Luo Beishi really wanted to ask Huo Cixiao if his cold expression was semi-permanent.
Also, there's the issue of sleeping tonight...
Should he move out? But what will Uncle Chen and the others think if he does?
No, Huo Cixiao would never sleep with a stranger; he'd definitely make him move out.
After comforting himself for a while, Luo Beishi sat back down on the edge of the bed. He was just 5 points Face-Slapping Points, after which he wouldn't have to take care of Huo Cixiao anymore and could fully recover without rehabilitation.
"Tonight..." Luo Beishi was interrupted before he could finish speaking.
"Could you run the water for me? I want to take a bath." Huo Cixiao wanted to call his wife, but he was afraid it would be too abrupt, and Luo Beishi might think he was frivolous. Besides, Luo Beishi hadn't called him husband since he woke up.
Although there was a slight disappointment, it was understandable.
Luo Beishi had finally mustered up the courage to say that they wouldn't sleep together tonight, but her plan was interrupted by Huo Cixiao's sexy and husky voice.
Therefore, Luo Beishi could only dutifully and patiently release the water.
Huo Cixiao picked up the phone that Uncle Chen had previously kept for him.
As soon as he turned on the phone, fully charged, a lot of news about his wife popped up, and his wife's name was always followed by "him".
Only the patriarch of the Huo Family knew that he had woken up.
The old man on the other end was so happy he couldn't sleep. It was already 10 p. m., and he tried calling Huo Cixiao. Huo Cixiao happened to have his phone with him and answered.
