Substitute Bride's Husband Is An Invisible Rich Man

Chapter 261 - The Huo Family's Approval

Huo Zhen lay on the comfortable bed and quietly looked at Mo Yan, who was busying herself by the bedside.

After the helicopter had landed, there was a private specialist doctor who immediately treated and bandaged him. His body was fine now. In addition, his physical condition had always been good. He only needed to rest for a few days before he would be full of vigor once more.

There was also a skilled nurse at home. However, seeing that Mo Yan looked worried, Huo Zhen simply let her take care of his daily life activities.

Mo Yan was unskillful and was additionally butterfingered due to her concern for him.

When she was giving him his medicine, her feet slipped, and more than half the glass of water was poured on Huo Zhen.

“Don’t stay here. Other than causing trouble, what else do you know?” Before Huo Zhen could speak, Huo Yu, who was in the room, could stand it no longer. “Call Auntie Wang in. She used to be a professional nurse in the hospital. Your bumbling makes it seem like you have two left feet.”

Mo Yan did not dare to shoot back. Like a child who had erred, she lowered her head and felt extremely wronged. She did not dare to retort on her own behalf.

“I feel that she has taken good care of me.”

Huo Zhen smiled slightly, his doting tone worlds apart from his previous image as the King of Hell.

“What’s good about her? Till date, other than causing trouble, what else does she know?”

Huo Yu huffed at Huo Zhen. Her brother had only injured his hand, so his brain should not be damaged, right? Otherwise, how could he think that Mo Yan was taking good care of him?

What did she take care of?

“Huo Yu, you can go out. It’s enough to have Mo Yan here.” Not only did Huo Zhen defend Mo Yan, he even gave Huo Yu the order to leave.

Huo Yu widened her eyes. For a moment, she thought that she had misheard it.

However, Huo Zhen actually called for the butler to come in to politely “invite” Huo Yu out.

“Huo Zhen, he… he is a complete b******!” Huo Yu felt extremely vexed at being chased out by Huo Zhen. She, the eldest daughter of the Huo family, had never been wronged in this manner!

Qin Yuan stood at the door and could not help but snicker when he saw her flounce out.

“What are you laughing at? You’ll also be kicked out if you go in!” Huo Yu stood, arms akimbo. If she had known that Huo Zhen would be so ungrateful, she really should not have flown a helicopter in to save him. Wouldn’t it be better to let him die in H City?

Qin Yuan merely smiled and retorted slowly.

“Who said I want to go in? If I were to go in now, I’d only be like a third wheel.”

“You!”

Huo Yu was miffed, and Qin Yuan laughed even more happily.

One year, he had had a high fever and Huo Yu had taken care of him just like Mo Yan was taking care of Huo Zhen currently — without leaving his side. Unfortunately, Huo Yu was simply too used to having her needs catered to and did not know how to look after others. She almost burned his kitchen down while making porridge, and the food she had cooked was far from delicious, tasting even worse than spoilt rice.

However, at that time, he had been very happy while he ate. Thereafter, whenever he had been depressed or listless, he would think of Huo Yu’s porridge and side dishes.

Now, it seemed unlikely that he would ever taste it again.

“What are you thinking about?” Huo Yu frowned, observing Qin Yuan. She stood on her toes and touched his forehead. “What is that expression on your face? It can’t be that you’re as uncomfortable as my brother, right?”

Qin Yuan quickly stepped back, and Huo Yu’s hand stopped mid-air.

There was an awkwardness that filled the air.

After a long time, Qin Yuan finally found his voice. “I’m fine, I’m very well. It seems that Huo Zhen doesn’t have the energy to see me today. I’ll come back another day. I still have a proposal awaiting his approval.”

Huo Yu had quickly withdrawn her hand, swallowed guiltily, and looked away. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“Yes, you should go back. My brother doesn’t have the energy to see you. In future, don’t come here so often anymore, acting as though we’re so familiar with each other.”

With that, not only did she lose all her imposing manner, she even almost bit her tongue a few times.

After watching Qin Yuan leave, Huo Yu let out a long sigh of relief.

She could not stay in the room any longer. She tiptoed to the door, half of her body pressed against it, listening attentively for any movements inside.

Huo Zhen saw that Mo Yan was still busy, so he reached out and pulled her closer.

Mo Yan did not anticipate Huo Zhen’s action. Her body was propelled forward. By the time she could react, more than half of her body was already pressed against Huo Zhen’s body. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and used her hands to support herself. Otherwise, Huo Zhen would be injured once more.

The two of them were too close to each other. She could even hear the sound of her own heart beating.

The atmosphere was extremely ambiguous.

She could only see Huo Zhen’s throat trembling slightly, and his low and deep voice burned her body, making her feel numb and tingling.
