She quickly bit her lower lip and took a deep breath, trying to hold it in.
huo shenâs big hand had already stopped.
his handsome brows were deeply wrinkled, and his heart ached for an xiaowan.
âDoes it hurt?â it seemed to be a question, but it also seemed to be a statement.
An Xiaowan shook her head gently. it doesnât hurt. Just a little.
Huo Shen knew that she was lying, but he didnât pursue the matter. He just looked at her back and closed his eyes, trying to maintain his composure.
however, when she raised her hand again, she couldnât help but tremble.
even when he was shot or stabbed, his hands didnât shake so badly when he pinched the bullet or the blade out with a tweezer without anesthesia.
âIt really doesnât hurt.â an xiaowan felt his hesitation and spoke in a gentler tone with a smile.
huo shen shook his head, his handsome face darkened. he raised his hand and finally made up his mind. he applied the cotton ball stained with medicine on an xiaowanâs back again.
She didnât say anything else, but her body trembled slightly.
he sanitized the wound as quickly as he could and wrapped it with gauze in the most meticulous way.
an xiaowan heaved a sigh of relief and pursed her lips.
There was a hint of metallic sweetness in his tightly clenched teeth, as if he was bleeding from her biting.
His forehead and body were covered in a layer of cold sweat, and his face was extremely pale.
she couldnât imagine that old master huo had held back his strength. it was probably only one-tenth of what huo shen could bear.
however, the whip was ten times more painful than her, and he had endured it more than once.
âWhen was the first time you were punished by the Family Law?â An Xiaowan asked in a hoarse voice.
Huo Shen was silent for two seconds. He met an Xiaowanâs eyes and shook his head lightly. I donât remember.
an xiaowan frowned. her beautiful face was full of sorrow.
huo shen felt a little helpless and continued to explain,âAnyway, itâs only a few times, so I donât make any mistakes.â
upon hearing this, an xiaowan raised her head and looked at him for a while to confirm. then, she let out a sigh of relief. â alright. â
After their injuries were treated, they began to wait in peace.
Huo Shen opened the door of the guest room, and the servants outside quickly brought in the tea and cakes that were prepared according to the treatment of distinguished guests.
an xiaowan casually took two bites and put it down.
the tea in the ye familyâs old house was very delicious. she was really bored, so she drank the tea while playing with her phone. very soon, she finished the whole pot of tea.
huo shen glanced at it and waved his hand to get a new pot.
only then did an xiaowan realize that she had drunk so much, and she grinned in embarrassment.
They waited for a long time until the person elder ye sent to check on the situation came back and said that grandma Wu had been allowed to enter. They were finally relieved.
after waiting for a while, they could only leave.
There was still a lot of work to be done in the Huo Corporation.
it was afternoon when they returned.
an xiaowan yawned and leaned on huo shenâs shoulder.
His back hurt a little, but his heart was satisfied and happy.
At least, she stopped the rest of the whips, didnât she?
Sometimes, people just wanted to be a little selfish and only care about the good of the people they loved, and not care about other peopleâs Affairs.
He would be willful and reckless for once.
âHuo Shen, I hope that you wonât get hurt when youâre with me in the future.â
