Chapter 237: Not biologically related, can't be warmed

w people knew, was sent by the Asia-famous business empire group — Huo's Group.So, this person is the head of the Huo GroupThat's terrifying!Turns out, he was someone of such illustrious status. No wo...: []

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Yes, I believe you. But, carrying this secret with you will always be unsafe."

"...What do you mean" Wen Xixi asked after a long while, her eyes welling up with tears.

The old man smiled. "What he means is that your father thinks it's safer for you to stay by my side, Xixi. Si Jue's life can't be at risk. You were alert today and avoided a crisis, but what about the future Xixi, none of us dare take this risk."

Finally, the old man revealed his purpose.

Wen Xuxu was stunned!

What does he mean His grandson can't take any life risks, so should he imprison his friend's daughter

How long

Is it a year Or ten years Or a lifetime

Wen Xuxu was even more disappointed.

She felt a strange sensation in her heart, unlike anything she had ever experienced before. Looking at the old man who used to claim he would treat her as his own daughter, tears welled up in her eyes after suppressing them for so long.

"Actually, it doesn't have to be so complicated. You could just kill me, it would be safer!"

"What kind of nonsense are you talking about How could I possibly kill you You're the child I watched grow up, and the mother of my two grandsons. There is no way I would ever do such a thing!"

The old man was very angry!

But Wen Xixixi had no reaction after hearing it.

Don't kill her

What's the difference between keeping her locked up her whole life and killing her

Perhaps, in a way, this would give him more peace of mind.

Wen Xixixi twitched the corner of her mouth and said nothing.

Seeing that she had fallen silent, the old man couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

“Alright, I’ll have someone come pick you up tomorrow. Spend some quality time with the children tonight. Don't worry, I won't mistreat you. Everything will remain the same as before – your food, clothing, and lodging.”

"..."

It was after a long time that Wen Xuxu finally heard herself ask, “Is it like being your daughter-in-law again”

The old man's face immediately became even more unnatural.

"Since you're unwilling to be with Sijue, you're not my daughter-in-law, you're my daughter. I'll take you as my goddaughter."

"Is that so"

"Well, I've agreed to Gu Xia and Si Jue's marriage. From now on, she'll be the daughter-in-law of the Huo family. But rest assured, your status in my Huo family will always be higher than hers!"

As if to comfort Wen Xixi, the old man gave her one last assurance.

That's really a good deal, isn't it

When the old man finally left, Wen Xuxu watched his retreating figure. Her heart and blood seemed to have been thrown into an ice cellar. Remembering everything from the past, all that was left was a desolate chill.

It turns out, not biologically related, always cold!

—>

Huo Sijue came to the hospital again after work as expected.

But this time, when he arrived, he found that the woman was slower to react. When he came in, she had moved a chair and was sitting by the window blowing on the cool breeze. He called out several times, but she didn't seem to hear him at all.

Has the condition worsened again

A cold air hung around Huo Sijue immediately.

Taking quick strides over, he casually tossed the notebook he had brought back onto the sofa before approaching: "Wen Xuxu, are you deaf or what Can't you hear me calling you"

"Huh"

Wen Xuxi, who had been blowing cold wind for a long time, finally raised her head from the chair.

So cold, so cold. His face, white as if translucent, even Huo Sijue didn't need to touch her to know from the bluish tinge of her lips that this woman was probably close to freezing solid herself.

This woman, she really has a screw loose.

Huo Sijue's face was ashen, he didn't care about anything else, he bent down and scooped her up from the chair, holding her in his arms.

"Ah!" Wen Xuxu let out a shriek of surprise.

What is this man... going to do

In the dizzying swirl, her heart pounded in her chest, blood rushing to her head and making her brain buzz.

"You... what are you going to do"

What are you doing Are you insane Sitting in this place, don't you think you're staying here long enough already

Huo Sijue had never been a good-tempered person. Hearing this pig-like woman dare to ask him what he was doing He immediately scolded her.

Wen Xuxu: "…"

Not until this person lay on the hospital bed, tucking the blanket tightly around themselves, did their buzzing mind slowly quiet down.

Is he concerned about her

Are you worried she'll catch a cold

Wen Xixi suddenly remembered the glass of water he had tried to force-feed her this morning.

That was just a glass of plain water, but she thought he was going to poison her, imprison her, and kill her to silence her, so she refused to drink it.

Last, that was just a glass of water.

But in the afternoon, she was overjoyed to see the old man come to her. She didn't doubt him at all, but in the end, he told her that he was the one who wanted to imprison her and keep her locked up.

It's really ironic!

Wen Xixi slowly closed her eyes.

Have you taken your medicine today

"... drank it."

"Time to eat"

"He/She ate."

"Did you get the shot"

"He hit it."

Q&A, surprisingly, was smooth and effortless, keeping up perfectly.

To his surprise, Huo Sijue was pouring water for himself when he turned around and saw the woman who was still lying in bed, motionless in the same pose as before.

Are you better now

He walked over and casually pulled up a chair next to him and sat down.

"Your recovery is truly impressive."

"What"

At this point, Wen Xuxu could no longer understand the man’s words. However, she opened her eyes and turned to look at him.

However, what I saw was a tall and well-built man sitting in the room with his long legs crossed under the dim cold white light of the hospital. He had a high nose, handsome features, one hand flipping through her medical records while the other rested casually on the armrest of the chair. He appeared nonchalant, but there was an indescribable elegance and casualness about him that was captivating to look at.in her heart, and afterward, taking a deep breath, she forced herself to calm down again. This time, as she bent over, she was one hundred percent certain that her hand wasn't trembling.Fortunately, t...
