Shi Huan looked at him, inexplicably reminded of Little Luoluo.
The little girl once drank soup too quickly, not being careful enough, got her tongue scalded, similar to Young Master Chuâs situation right now, screaming in pain, asking for it to be blown cooledâ¦
They were exactly the same.
âHurry up!â Chu Xiuhuang said in displeasure.
Perhaps because she was reminded of Little Luoluo, Shi Huan bent down as if possessed and began blowing air towards Chu Xiuhuang.
Once.
And again.
The cool breeze carried a womanâs fragrance, blowing over the scalded mouth and tongue tip, making Chu Xiuhuang feel instantly better.
Then his gaze inevitably fell on her face.
She was serious about helping him blow on it, thus her lips were slightly pouting. Even without lipstick, they were moist and tender, like two pieces of plump jello.
He couldnât help but think of what happened at the club.
Though he was a bit drunk at the time, he was still conscious, so he remembered that taste clearly.
His sharp, ink-black eyes narrowed and Chu Xiuhuang leaned in slowly.
Just as he was about to touch herâ¦
Shi Huan quickly backed away.
Chu Xiuhuang was stunned, about to lose his temper.
Shi Huan raised her hand, brushing the black hair on her face all behind her ears, then started blowing again seriously.
Her small, white, peach-shaped face was now fully exposed, even though she was still wearing her large black-rimmed glasses.
Chu Xiuhuangâs mouth half open, just let her continue to blow air, once after another.
A faint scent entered his nostrils, as if it had come from her hair.
Chu Xiuhuang found he was having trouble looking away.
âXiaohuan,â he called.
Shi Huan paused, and as she lifted her head, she saw Chu Xiuhuang staring at her.
Whatâs wrong?
Just as she felt puzzled, Chu Xiuhuang placed his hand on her shoulderâ¦
The half-closed door was flung open with a âclang,â and Nangong Ci yelled in a loud voice, âSecond Brother, Big Brother said⦠Oh, shit! I didnât see anything, I swear! Iâm leaving, bye!â
Nangong Ci took a few steps back, then couldnât help but glance back, âDamn, youâre not even going to stop me?â
Huo Jingshen stood at the doorway, emotionless.
At the side of the hospital bed, Shi Huan already stood up.
She turned around, saw the impassive Huo Jingshen standing at the door, and met his penetrating gaze. Inexplicably, Shi Huanâs heart skipped a beat.
As if she had been caught in the act of doing something wrong.
Butâ¦
She clearly hadnât done anything.
Shi Huan reassured herself, then gave Huo Jingshen a slight nod, quickly picked up the fruits, and calmly went into the bathroom.
Chu Xiuhuang coughed a couple times, stretching one long leg to cover his embarrassment.
Dammit, he was about to touch his secretaryâs lips, these damn spoilsports!
He frowned, âWhat are you here for?â
Huo Jingshen strode in, scowling, âWhoâs the asshole who called me here?â
Assholeâ¦
Chu Xiuhuangâs lips twitched in response.
He admitted, âI thought you wouldnât come.â
âI didnât want to come,â Huo Jingshen sat down on the sofa, speaking bluntly.
He was just passing by, didnât expect to witness such an unsightly scene.
Watching Chu Xiuhuang start eating breakfast, he grumbled, âSay what you need to, and be quick about it.â
Chu Xiuhuang took a bite of delicious crab-filled bun and sighed with satisfaction, âBig Brother, Iâm eating breakfast now, could we talk a bit more civilly?â
Huo Jingshen glanced at his watch, âYou have 10 minutes.â
âOk.â
Then, Nangong Ci ran in again. He glanced at the bathroom and grinned slyly, âSecond brother, you say, youâre just going to kiss her⦠without even closing the door?â
âAre there hospital regulations preventing patients from kissing?â Chu Xiuhuang interrupted him with a wicked look.
Though he didnât actually manage to kiss her. Damn shame.
âWell, no,â Nangong Ci smiled cheekily as he found a chair to sit, âI heard you took Secretary Shi to the Mo Familyâs anniversary party last night. Why are there only scandalous photos and none of Secretary Shi?â
Chu Xiuhuang glared, âWhat are you trying to do?â
âCheck out the beauty!â Ever since he saw Shi Huan in a swimsuit, Nangong Ci scored her highly in his heart.
Sheâs such a beauty, he couldnât understand why she always disguised herself.
Chu Xiuhuang slammed down his spoon, âShe is my secretary!â
âCanât I even take a look?â
âNo!â
âSecond brother is such a miser!â
ââ¦â
Footsteps neared, and Chu Xiuhuang fell silent, focusing on his breakfast instead.
Shi Huan placed the fruits on the sofa, knowing that Huo Jingshen was here probably for business matters, she said, âIâll go downstairs to buy some more fruits.â
Chu Xiuhuang immediately spoke gently, âGo ahead, and buy some more tissue while youâre at it. Iâve used them all up.â
Nangong Ci burst out laughing, quickly covering his mouth.
With a darkened face, Huo Jingshen thought this guy was shameless.
âOh, and buy two pairs of boxers, black, biggest size. You know,â Chu Xiuhuang raised an eyebrow suggestively.
Shi Huan: ââ¦â
Her right eyelid started twitching rapidly.
Actually, it wasnât like she had never helped Young Master Chu buy clothes before.
Of course, she knew his clothing size and preferences. But now, there were two strangers in the hospital room.
Huo Jingshen was fine, always mature and steady, his emotions not easily read.
On the other hand, that Nangong Ci was having a tough time stifling his laughter â despite holding his hand over his mouth, he was still giggling, his shoulders shaking continuouslyâ¦.
