"Your identity is no longer a secret."
Huo Sijue crossed his legs and raised his slender phoenix eyes. He took Nanzhi's hand and gently raised it, kissing her with cold lips like a butterfly.
When he looked up again, his gentle eyes already had a hint of anger.
"Only I can protect you."
The car sped by, and at that moment Nanzhi clearly realized that her entanglement with Huo Sijue had just begun.
…
Capital City, Huo Sijue's private residence
The manor is built around the mountains and is tall and magnificent.
Only when Nanzhi was carried out of the car did he dare to ask: "Where did you take Jiang Jinxing?"
At the mention of that person's name, Huo Sijue frowned subconsciously. He lowered his eyes and looked at Nanzhi in his arms, and said expressionlessly, "Lying in my arms, but caring about other men?"
"Nanzhi, when did you become so half-hearted?"
"You asked me to come back, and I came back."
"What else do you want?"
Nanzhi endured it all the way, but Huo Sijue had no intention of giving up when he was ready.
"He is really innocent. If you want to blame, blame me. I seduced him..."
At the end of the sentence, Nanzhi's words already had a nasal sound.
She suppressed her worry and guilt, "I beg you, don't target him, let him marry Su Ling properly, okay?"
"Do you think the Su family would want a man who abandoned Su Ling twice?" Huo Sijue seemed to have heard a joke.
He raised the corners of his lips with disdain and sneered, "Even if I don't target him, his father won't just let it go. He abandoned his fiancée openly. Jiang Jinxing really loves you."
Huo Sijue emphasized the last sentence and sarcastically. Then he held Nanzhi firmly and walked towards the mansion.
The elevator goes straight to the third floor, where there is a sunny garden room. Huo Sijue originally planted roses on the balcony. Although most of the pink flowers have fallen, there are still a few that have not bloomed.
He ordered the gardener to wait and watch day and night, just to wait for Nanzhi to come back.
"From today on, you will live here. Buy whatever you want, and tell Lu Cheng what you want to eat."
After Huo Sijue put down Nanzhi, he couldn't help but press it down. He supported the bed with both hands and endured it very hard.
"I will find the best doctor to treat your injury." Huo Sijue looked cold and handsome, maintaining the last bit of pride, but he didn't know that the tenderness and annoyance in his tone had long since betrayed him.
He whispered dissatisfiedly, "I have wanted to bring you back for a long time. There are no good doctors in Beihai."
"If Jiang Jinxing hadn't stolen someone under my nose, why would I have brought you back regardless?" He spoke angrily, like a child.
"There is a problem with the company's project. I have to go back. You can wait for me at home. I will stay with you after I have been busy for a while."
Huo Sijue reluctantly stood up, and finally came back to place a kiss on Nanzhi's forehead.
She leaned against the window and watched with her own eyes as Sir Huo left before hurriedly trying to go downstairs. Unexpectedly, as soon as she took a step forward, she was blocked by a maid.
"Madam, I'm sorry, Mr. Huo has ordered you not to go out."
Nanzhi made a buzzing sound, and his head exploded.
"Is he letting me recover from my injuries, or is he going to imprison me?"
The maid stood there without changing her expression, "Sorry, I'm just following the order. A doctor will come to change your dressing later. I hope you can cooperate."
Nanzhi was so angry that she stomped back and forth a few steps, "What about my cell phone?"
The maid said nothing. She stood there like a sculpture, which made Nanzhi feel heartbroken.
…
She lay in bed for three days, during which time Huo Sijue came back every night. He was tired day after day, and sometimes came home very late, falling next to Nanzhi and falling asleep without even taking off his shoes.
Nanzhi didn't know what happened in the company, but seeing that he was so busy, he felt relieved. At least, he won't make things difficult for Jiang Jinxing for the time being.
Looking at the sleeping Huo Sijue next to her, she suddenly felt like she had become a caged bird, a canary.
This feeling was subtle, and the relationship between her and Huo Sijue gradually became beyond words.
Nanzhi stared at the mobile phone on the table for a long time——
That belongs to Huo Sijue.
After a long mental struggle, she quietly climbed out of bed, carefully picked up the phone, and hid on the balcony.
Huo Sijue's mobile phone is very simple, the password is only four digits.
Without thinking, Nanzhi entered the date of his parents' death, and the black screen lit up instantly.
She was so happy that she opened the curtains and glanced at the bed. When she saw that Huo Sijue had no response, she made a call.
The call was picked up quickly.
After not seeing each other for a few days, Lin Ya's voice seemed a little haggard.
As soon as Nanzhi opened her mouth, her eyes turned red and she whispered, "Mom."
Lin Ya was stunned for a moment and then started crying, "My Xiaozhi, where have you run away? Mom has been looking for you for a long time."
"Huo Sijue took me back to the capital. He said he would pick you up."
When Huo Sijue was mentioned, Lin Ya stopped talking. Her voice was choked and she sighed deeply, "What a sin!"
"I'm getting more and more worried if you follow him."
Lin Ya kept to herself and told everything that happened that night. If Lu Cheng hadn't received the news earlier, Huo Sijue would have destroyed the hospital!
He searched from room to room, checking all the nursing rooms in the hospital.
The scarlet eyes seemed to be dripping with blood!
Nanzhi listened silently, but little did he know that the man on the bed had already woken up. Huo Sijue opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling, listening to Nanzhi's timid cry in the silent night.
"I don't want to be with Jiang Jinxing, it will hurt him."
"What about Huo Sijue?" Lin Ya asked, "You are already divorced, so what does it matter if he is like this now? Mom, go call the police and rescue you right now!"
"Mom~" Nanzhi quickly interrupted her.
"Don't worry about me. I'll be fine here. He asks the doctor to change my dressing every day, and the injury heals quickly."
"I'll ask her tomorrow when she will pick you up."
Nanzhi stretched out his fingers and kept drawing circles on the wooden floor of the balcony until a pair of gray plush slippers came into view.
She followed her gaze up to see the slender thighs, strong chest, and indifferent face.
Nanzhi was so frightened that his cellphone instantly fell to the ground, leaving Lin Ya's questioning voice alone...
"You, when did you wake up?"
Nanzhi felt guilty and quickly picked up the phone and returned it to him, "I just missed my mother and didn't call Jiang Jinxing."
Huo Sijue didn't care what she said. He picked up Nanzhi like a chicken with one hand and took the phone. "Mom, I will send someone to pick you up tomorrow. Just wait at your hometown."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
The night wind was a bit chilly, and Nanzhi was forced to the balcony by Huo Sijue in a few steps. The moonlight shone among the rose flowers, exuding a faint floral fragrance.
Huo Sijue was wearing a thin gray sweater. He looked at the woman silently for a long time and suddenly leaned into her arms.
"I was too busy to take care of it."
"If you want to make a call, you can tell me directly."
He hugged Nanzhi, his gentle voice mixed with the haziness of just waking up, as if they had always been a loving couple.
"Tomorrow, I am going to Los Angeles. The company's project has been pried away, but it is very important. If it cannot be retrieved, it will lose 300 million."
300 million!
This number will directly affect the future survival of the Huo family.
"Can you just wait for me at home?" Huo Sijue raised his head, his voice filled with prayer.
He was like an obedient child, waiting for her response.
"Even if you want to leave...not at this time." Perhaps he saw what Nanzhi was thinking, Huo Sijue choked with sobs.
He held Nanzhi's waist with his left hand, held the back of her head with his right hand and kissed her lips gently.
In the past few days, they kissed more and more frequently, so much so that Nanzhi no longer resisted.
She allowed Huo Sijue to suck her lips and teeth greedily, unwilling to leave. I don't know how long they kissed, but Nanzhi sneezed, and Huo Sijue woke up as if from a dream.
He closed the sliding window and turned the temperature in the bedroom to maximum.
Without the black suit, he looked more gentle and kind at home. Nanzhi sat on the bed and examined the man in front of him.
He is the one who is indifferent, he is the one who does not love, but he is the one who prays.
She couldn't understand Huo Sijue's heart, and she was even more afraid that she would betray him after he gave up again.
"What's wrong?" Sensing the woman's gaze, Huo Sijue turned around.
He lay down on the bed and slept next to Nanzhi, holding her in his arms. "I'll be back soon. You wait for me."
"When I come back, we will remarry."
Huo Sijue's words were as gentle as water. For a moment, even Nanzhi was immersed in such a sweet dream.
He covered Nanzhi with a quilt like a child and gently coaxed her to sleep.
In the early morning, when the sun shone on the sheets, Huo Sijue's shadow was gone.
Nanzhi lay there, feeling suddenly empty in her heart. She touched the place where Huo Sijue had slept over and over again, and kept asking herself questions.
Are you tempted again?
But every time this happened, the image of her begging Huo Sijue to sleep with her but being mercilessly ridiculed by the man would keep popping up, crushing her self-esteem again and again.
Nanzhi turned over and looked at the ceiling with blank eyes. There was a dull pain in her heart, and there was a huge uneasiness coming from this...
That afternoon, Lin Ya was picked up.
She stood in the living room and fidgeted until she saw Nanzhi running downstairs.
Before leaving, Huo Sijue said that as long as he did not leave the manor, Nanzhi could move around as he pleased. I locked her up for the past few days just because I was afraid that she would be dishonest and toss her back and forth and tear the wound.
Huo Sijue had no intention of imprisoning her from the beginning to the end.
"mom!"
When Nanzhi saw Lin Ya, her eyes instantly moistened, and she ran over crying.
"As long as you're fine, I'm worried about what you'll do alone in Beihai?"
"Where's the medical center?"
It was okay not to mention it, but Lin Ya became angry when she mentioned it.
In order to stop the idea of going back to Nanzhi, Huo Sijue directly bought the medical center and took the key with him.
