Chapter 52: Don't Leave

e didn't hold it against him. He just warned coldly: "This is a one-time thing, no repeat offenses. Otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite."Huo Chenxi didn't say anything.Su He asked silently, "...After a long silence, Su He slowly raised her head. A hint of coldness flashed in her clear eyes as she calmly asked, "Mr. Huo, how do you plan to settle this account"

How could she have forgotten, Huo Chen Xi was the best at weighing the pros and cons.

Perhaps from the moment he received the call demanding her release, he had harbored intentions of asking for a ransom.

Is it a compromise made by the two groups collaborating, or something else about their interests

The cabin suddenly fell silent, with only the faint whirring of the propellers audible.

Huo Chenxi's forehead was slick with beads of cold sweat.

He lowered his gaze to look at Su He, and just after leaving the village, he had become so cold and distant. A mocking smile curved the corner of his mouth: “Haven’t decided yet.”

"A debt of life should be repaid with one's own body," Qin Shi chimed in.

Huo Chenxi turned his head and glanced at him, his eyes were faint, his expression unreadable.

Instead, Su He chuckled lightly: "Qin Shao, you can eat things randomly, but don't speak recklessly. I'm still trending on hot searches right now, being called a mistress!"

Qin Shi cautiously looked at Huo Chen Xi, only to see his face turn cold instantly. Qin Shi's own heart skipped a beat, and he stammered out a laugh before daring not speak another word.

All the way in silence.

Su He had been terrified and exhausted these days, but now that he had finally escaped danger, he fell asleep unknowingly.

When I woke up, I found myself lying with my head on Huo Chenxi's shoulder.

Su He's heart skipped a beat, but she also felt a twinge of embarrassment. Luckily, Huo Chen Xi seemed to have fallen asleep, so she carefully moved away from his shoulder and turned her head to the other side.

But this time, she dared not fall asleep again.

Not long.

The helicopter landed in City A.

Looking at the familiar Xingye Bay villa, Su He gritted his teeth and got off the plane.

As soon as they left the tarmac, paparazzi camped outside Starry Bay Villas immediately sensed a major scoop. They pulled out all the stops, aiming their cameras at Huo Chenxi who had just stepped out.

Huo Chenxi reacted extremely quickly, taking off his clothes and covering Su He's head directly. Without hesitation, he scooped her up horizontally and strode towards the villa.

"Get those people out of here!" He strode quickly forward, not forgetting to turn back and order Qin Shi.

Qin Shi nodded in agreement and turned to walk past the reporters who were squatting at the entrance.

"Still lurking here for gossip Looks like your sources aren't very reliable. Mr. Huo has made a big news story in the social media world, much more interesting than gossip."

As soon as Qin Shi spoke, the reporters who had been about to ask if the woman Huo Chenxi had just hugged was Su He were all stunned.

"Qin Shao, is what you said really true" A reporter tentatively asked, recognizing Qin Shi's identity.

Qin Shi raised an eyebrow. "Don't believe me Look, are there any reporters from Xinjinshibao squatting here Their news is the most well-connected."

The paparazzi looked at each other, realizing that the reporter from Shinjin Times who had been staking out with them earlier was gone. They grumbled and dispersed immediately.

Thus, Qin Shi patted his chest, glanced back at the quiet villa, took out his phone to send a message to Huo Shen Xi, then turned and left with a flick of his robe, hiding his achievements and fame.

Su He stood behind the curtain, watching Qin Shi send the reporters away with just a few words. She couldn't help but admire him.

"President Huo, the reporters have left, so I won't stay here and disturb you." Su He turned back to the living room and said to Huo Chen Xi who was sitting on the sofa holding his upper abdomen.

Ho Chenxi glanced at her: "Do you want to go home like this at this time"

Su He was startled and realized that he hadn't taken good care of himself these past few days. His clothes were dirty and messy, his hair was tangled into clumps, and he looked disheveled.

"The upstairs guest room, you wouldn't have forgotten where it is, would you There are clothes in the closet." Huo Chenxi's voice was languid, "Go take a shower, go back when it's daylight!"

Su He was indeed feeling uncomfortable all over, thinking that it would be quite frightening to walk out like this. He didn't refuse much, just thanked him and walked upstairs.

Huo Chenxi's hand pressed against his stomach, his slightly pale lips twitching in a bitter smile.

If it were in the past, Su He would always be the first to notice something was wrong with him.

He was sweating from stomach pain even on the helicopter, Su He remained undecided.

Even though he was in so much pain now, she still ignored him.

Ho Chenxi's heart felt like it had been stabbed by something, a piercing pain that came in waves, even eclipsing the feeling of stomach ache.

Su He went upstairs and randomly chose a guest room. When she opened the wardrobe, she found a whole cabinet full of the latest women's clothing. These were all picked out by Grandma Huo for her before, saying they were the most suitable brand for her temperament.

I grabbed one at random, it was her size.

She didn't know why there were women's clothes in her size in the guest room closet, but she was drawn to check other guest rooms and found that all the closets hung clothes of the same size and brand.

Su He had a taste she couldn't describe in her heart, and finally chose a dress absentmindedly.

As she showered, her mind unconsciously drifted to the image of Huo Chenxi with his hand pressed against his stomach.

She knew that this was a habitual action Huo Chenxi would take when his stomach illness flared up. It could offer slight relief from the pain, but only slightly.

Even on the helicopter, she sensed something was off about him.

But now, she has no position to care about him, and he's probably not in need of her concern either.

Su He finished washing up, dried his hair and changed into his clothes. When he went downstairs, the sky was just beginning to lighten.

Huo Chenxi leaned back on the sofa, his fist still clenched against his stomach.

Su He was startled and hurried forward: "Mr. Huo"

"Young Master Huo"

"Ho Chenxi!"

Su He probed several times, her voice growing louder, but Huo Chen Xi did not respond to her.

Su He was a little flustered, reaching out to pull his arm, but as soon as her hand touched him, she realized his body was burning hot.

He even got a fever.

Su He gritted her teeth and dragged him to the elevator, then reluctantly sent him back to the bedroom.

After hesitating for a moment, she still reached out and grasped his wrist, feeling his pulse.

Huo Chenxi only knew that she was a master doctor, but he didn't know that her medical skills were half-baked.

When in good shape, it can solve all sorts of problems. When not, it can't even handle its own illness.

Su He tried her best to calm herself down. After a few deep breaths, she finally collected her thoughts and focused on feeling his pulse.

The cold invaded his body, and he encountered the recurrence of his stomach ailment.

Su He let out a breath of relief, covered Huo Chen Xi with the blanket, went downstairs to the restaurant to cook him ginger and millet porridge, and also retrieved stomach medicine from the medicine box.

It's still from her previous time here, luckily it hasn't expired.

Holding a bowl of millet porridge, Su He went upstairs and poured him a cup of warm water. She placed everything on the bedside table and then called the family doctor.

"Don't leave!" He suddenly grabbed her hand as she turned to leave.

The intense heat radiated from his palm, like a real fire, burning her hand.

That burning heat seemed to have a life of its own, flowing from her palm along her wrist and spreading to her heart, melting away the ice wall she had painstakingly built within.ates who all said that when the real "Miss Qianjin" returned, she would be kicked out.At first, she still defended herself. But as more and more people spoke up, she gradually began to question her ow...
