As expected, Luo Beishi initially had her back to Huo Cixiao, but after falling asleep, she unknowingly rolled into Huo Cixiao's arms.
Huo Cixiao, with his eyes closed, smiled with satisfaction.
His stubborn yet shy wife.
The next day
Luo Beishi woke up in Huo Cixiao's arms. At first, his mind went blank, and then he was confused for a while before he gradually remembered that Huo Cixiao had woken up yesterday.
Today, Huo Cixiao can brush his teeth by himself.
Huo Cixiao really wanted his wife to take care of him like before... but thinking about how hard his wife had worked for so long, he couldn't be willful.
" Shishi, are you awake?" Huo Cixiao's voice was still hoarse because he hadn't said much.
But Luo Beishi heard that voice, it gave him goosebumps. "Help! Tongtong, is Huo Cixiao's voice surgically altered? Calling me Shishi? It's so beautiful it makes me want to cry."
System: "Is there? It's Tongtong. It can't hear anything, it can only recognize things. Right now, Huo Cixiao desperately needs water."
Luo Beishi: "..." Right, ever since Huo Cixiao woke up, he doesn't seem to pay much attention to these things anymore. Yesterday, Huo Cixiao drank water much less often.
Luo Beishi resignedly and shamelessly climbed out of Huo Cixiao's arms. He had clearly said last night that he didn't need it, but he ended up lying in Huo Cixiao's arms himself!
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to... I'm not usually like this, it was just yesterday..." Luo Beishi tried to explain.
With a face that looked stunning no matter what hairstyle he had, Huo Cixiao slowly propped himself up and sat up. "It's okay, you go wash up first."
Before yesterday, Luo Beishi really hadn't expected Huo Cixiao to have such a good temper. Last night, when he helped Huo Cixiao take off his clothes, Luo Beishi had even complained a little, but now...
Although his expression was always aloof, his words and actions were so kind and considerate.
She seems quite dependent on him? From yesterday until now, she hasn't even talked to Uncle Chen about what's been happening lately.
Isn't he too composed? A person who can play a major villain can keep a straight face and remain completely unmoved even if the sky falls.
Luo Beishi she thought about it. She got up and went to the bathroom without looking at Huo Cixiao again.
Huo Cixiao wanted to stick to Luo Beishi Shishi, but Luo Beishi might not like him like this, and might prefer his previous cold and aloof demeanor.
Huo Cixiao was conflicted.
His fierce and intimidating appearance, which makes people want to stay away, is enough to make his wife fall in love with him, which shows that his wife is attracted to his aloof and cold exterior.
He took out his phone and contacted Ling Kai Lei Long, asking the two of them to come over.
He then instructed Uncle Chen to have breakfast prepared and to go down to eat with Luo Beishi shortly.
After doing all that, Huo Cixiao slowly sat in his wheelchair and went to the restroom.
Luo Beishi just brushed her teeth and was about to wash her face when she noticed her handsome, money-making husband staring blankly at her.
Luo Beishi: "..." Damn, this face is unfair! I can't look at it. If I look at it too much, not many people can resist, especially since he doesn't know what to do next.
Huo Cixiao arrived at the low pool that was within his wheelchair's reach; he never imagined he would need to use it one day.
He cleared his throat. " Shishi, could you get me my cup and toothbrush?"
Luo Beishi almost didn't realize what was going on. The guy had come to brush his teeth and wash his face, not to see him. And what was with the Shishi? How embarrassing, bro.
But he didn't want to argue. Since the big shot was willing to get closer to him and understand him better... how could he refuse? Would refusing mean he'd get a few less dollars?
"Okay, wait a minute." He expertly rummaged through the lattice, found a soft-bristled toothbrush, and handed it to her with a clear water glass. "Here you go."
Huo Cixiao accepted it with her slender, pale hand and said softly, "Thank you."
Luo Beishi: "..." There's no need to be so polite. He really is a completely different person from the one in the information he saw.
Huo Cixiao doesn't seem like the kind of person who would never thank someone, does he? I've thanked him quite a few times since yesterday.
Based on impressions, Luo Beishi felt that Huo Cixiao could be given a slightly higher score.
For breakfast, Huo Cixiao was pushed in his wheelchair down in the elevator. The chefs and servants were all gone, and only Uncle Chen served him.
Luo Beishi looked at Uncle Chen with a puzzled expression and asked, "Where is he?"
At this moment, Uncle Chen exuded the air of a high-class butler, just like when he first met Uncle Chen. He explained, "Good morning, young master and young mistress. In response to the young mistress, the young master does not like irrelevant people appearing in his sight."
Luo Beishi: "..." Quite domineering.
He glanced down at Huo Cixiao in the wheelchair.
Even in a wheelchair, his back remained proud and straight, his posture upright, showing no signs of being a person in a vegetative state for over a year.
It's amazing that this person could accept a stranger in his bed, but couldn't accept the presence of servants, cooks, or other people in his field of vision.
It's quite contradictory.
"Understood, thank you, Uncle Chen." Luo Beishi walked a little further and pushed the person to the dining table. "You can eat by yourself, right?"
Huo Cixiao wanted to say that was wrong, but if his wife fed him, she would have to go hungry first.
Huo Cixiao was no longer in a vegetative state, nodded. "Yes, you don't need to take too much care of me."
Luo Beishi was very satisfied with Huo Cixiao now. The feeling that Huo Cixiao relied on him, but not on him for everything, made Luo Beishi feel that Huo Cixiao was very sensible.
During the meal, Huo Cixiao drank porridge and ate other foods that were easy on the stomach, but rather bland.
He used his long, slender, and perfectly shaped fingers to slowly and deliberately drink the porridge with a white porcelain spoon, a sight that was pleasing to the eye.
Luo Beishi looked down at the shrimp dumplings, braised chicken feet, and steamed buns in front of him... eating them wouldn't be very elegant.
Forget it, how can he compare to Huo Cixiao? This big shot was the one who elevated the Huo Corporation to a higher level in just a few years after taking Huo Corporation. He was a powerful figure who could control everything in the Capital.
Therefore, Luo Beishi immediately felt relieved about Huo Cixiao's pursuit of perfection in everything.
So he started eating whatever he wanted, just like he always did.
Little did she know that Huo Cixiao found her incredibly adorable; how could his wife eat like a little hamster, with her cheeks puffed out?
After subtly glancing at Luo Beishi, Huo Cixiao continued drinking his porridge.
Meanwhile, in a villa in another district of Capital
When Ling Kai and Lei Long received Huo Cixiao's message, they thought they were dreaming!
The two emerged from their respective bedrooms, exchanged a glance, their expressions far from calm, and almost simultaneously exclaimed, "The boss is awake!"
They immediately canceled their remaining travel plans, packed their things, and drove straight to Huo Cixiao's house.
Ling Kai: "The Demon King is awake. What do you think he'll do to his sister-in-law?" He received over 30 million Aurora Emeralds from her; he can't be ungrateful! If the Demon King wants to drive his sister-in-law away, he'll have to say a few good words for her no matter what!
Lei Long, who was driving, frowned slightly. "I don't know. You know the boss's temper. I'll talk to him in a bit. Don't worry too much."
Ling Kai felt a little relieved after hearing this, and with Lei Long's help, things became much simpler.
Who is their eldest son? How could he possibly accept a marriage arranged to bring good luck? No matter how much his sister-in-law likes him, he probably wouldn't even give her a second glance.
Having followed Huo Cixiao Huo Cixiao for so long, they all knew how cold and indifferent he was.
He might return the gifts and money to his sister-in-law.
Ling Kai felt he had never felt so anxious before.
