Chapter 188: Chapter 188

The next day dawned bright.

Hua Xiaomo was still sleeping soundly in her bed.

Wen Yajun had stayed the night at Hua’s Home, and during that time, he managed to find a reason to convincingly persuade Yu Bao, who was about to pick her up for work.

Seeing him at Hua’s Home so early in the morning, Yu Bao furrowed his brow and asked slyly, "Wen Yajun, what are you doing here?"

"Brother Bao, I just got here. Auntie called me to come over and help her prepare some medicine," Wen Yajun explained quickly.

"Hmm," Yu Bao responded, then glanced toward Hua Xiaomo’s room. He only looked from a distance and couldn’t see very clearly. She was lying on her side, seemingly still asleep.

"Since she’s so tired, let her rest at home today. I’ll speak to President Qi about it," Yu Bao said, then went downstairs.

After Yu Bao left, Su Ronghua, Hua Xiaomo’s mother, then said worriedly, "How could this child be so careless as to fall down the stairs so badly? Should we take her to the hospital to have a look?"

"Auntie, don’t worry, I know medicine. I can take care of her," Wen Yajun said with a forced smile.

"Mmm. Ya Jun, we’re really lucky to have you. Otherwise, I really don’t know what I would’ve done," Su Ronghua said, clutching Wen Yajun’s hands tightly. Her gaze fell directly on the birthmark on his wrist, and she became lost in thought.

"You can relax, Auntie. Xiao Mo just needs to rest a bit; she’ll be fine soon! More importantly, Auntie, you need to take care of your own health! I’ll go prepare some medicinal herbs to brew right away! You can drink it in a little while," Wen Yajun said with a smile, helping Su Ronghua to sit down on a chair.

"Yes, yes, what a good boy! Such a good kid!" Su Ronghua looked at him, her face beaming.

Hua Xiaomo, her eyes still closed, was now slightly awake. Her body still ached somewhat, and she didn’t want to move. She listened to their conversation.

A thought stirred within her. It seems Mother really likes this boy! But I hope she’s not trying to find a match for me.

Suddenly, a glimmer of light appeared in Hua Xiaomo’s slowly opening eyes. When can I bring Brother Long back to meet Mother? Maybe Mother would be even happier to see him! Brother Long...

Thinking of him, a blissful smile spread across Hua Xiaomo’s face. Her eyelids felt heavy; she closed her eyes again and once more fell into a deep slumber.

Qi Longbing, his face as bright and handsome as an angel’s, had already risen from his hospital bed and was walking around the room by himself.

Soon after, Yu Bao returned to his side and reported, "President Qi, Miss Hua said she’s feeling a bit unwell and would like to rest at home today."

"Mm. Rest is good," Qi Longbing nodded, then looked at him. "Later, go buy some nutritional supplements and send them to my Xiao Mo."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Longbing thought for a moment and added, "Better yet, I’ll deliver them personally. She’ll definitely be very happy to see me."

"President Qi, you can’t be discharged from the hospital yet, can you?" Yu Bao looked at him worriedly. If another accident were to happen, he could never fully atone for it!

Moreover, that damned Brother Lan still hadn’t been caught. It was truly too dangerous for Qi Longbing to leave the hospital without authorization .

"I’m mostly recovered. Don’t tell anyone from the Qi Family about me leaving, especially the Old Master. Understand?" Qi Longbing looked at him and instructed.

He couldn’t help it; if he went a day without seeing his Xiao Mo, his heart felt a restless longing.

Heh heh, Xiao Mo, oh Xiao Mo, this President is personally coming to see you. I really wonder how touched you’ll look!

In the afternoon, a golden Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost pulled up to Hua’s Home in Chaohu Alley.

Yu Bao opened the car door and was about to step forward to support Qi Longbing when the latter shot him a cold glare and snapped, "Don’t do anything that embarrasses me!"

"Yes, yes!" Yu Bao quickly lowered his head, immediately withdrew his hand, picked up the numerous bags from the back of the car, and followed him upstairs.

The narrow, old, and dilapidated stairwell was an uncomfortable sight from any angle.

This was Qi Longbing’s second time here. This time, compared to the last, his mood was quite different.

"President Qi, what can I do for you?"

"Find a five-star apartment for Hua Xiaomo and her mother to stay in temporarily."

After speaking, Qi Longbing walked straight towards their home.

Qi Longbing hesitated for a moment but still knocked on the door with a smile.

"Who is it?" A woman’s voice came from inside—it was none other than Hua Xiaomo.

Hearing her voice, Qi Longbing felt a surge of excitement, but just as he was about to answer... ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩✶𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚✶𝕟𝕖𝕥

"Xiao Mo, don’t get up—I’ll get the door." Another male voice came through. Then, Wen Yajun opened the door, but upon seeing the handsome, suit-clad man standing outside, he froze completely.

Wen Yajun was instantly awestruck. It was President Qi!

"Q-President Qi..." Wen Yajun stammered, not knowing what to say upon seeing him again.

Instantly, Qi Longbing furrowed his brow, his exceptionally handsome face darkening. "Why are you here?"

All sorts of suspicions flooded his mind...

Suddenly, Hua Xiaomo’s voice called out from the inner room, "Ya Jun, who is it? Is that my delivery? Hurry and bring it to me!"

Wen Yajun’s face instantly turned crimson. He didn’t know what to say, just stood awkwardly in the doorway, unsure whether to advance or retreat.

Qi Longbing’s handsome, angelic smile had vanished the moment he saw this man in the room. A shadow instantly fell over his face, like gathering storm clouds.

However, he said nothing. Clenching his fists slightly, he brushed past Wen Yajun and strode quickly to her room’s entrance.

At that moment, Hua Xiaomo was wearing fluffy teddy bear pajamas and looking at her facial injuries in the dressing table mirror.

"Ya Jun, look at my..." Hua Xiaomo was about to say more when she saw the reflection in the mirror, and her voice suddenly caught in her throat.

Hua Xiaomo quickly straightened up but didn’t turn around. Instead, with her back to him, she said, "President Qi, you must be in the wrong place, right?"

Qi Longbing was silent for a good while. He truly hadn’t expected her to give him such a "surprise" the moment he arrived.

Could it be? Was she actually living with another man already? His heart felt as though a gaping wound had been torn into it...

Finally, Qi Longbing asked in a suppressed voice, "Hua Xiaomo, why are you living with him?"

His mind felt as if it was on fire for a moment. He was enduring, desperately trying to hold back...

Hua Xiaomo was stunned for a moment, her eyes wide with bewilderment. Living together? What the hell did that mean? Who was she living with?

Hua Xiaomo’s expression instantly stiffened. "I don’t know what you mean. If there’s nothing else, President Qi, you should return to the hospital to rest!"

"Rest? Are you perhaps wishing I’d just die in the hospital, Hua Xiaomo?" Qi Longbing suddenly roared in fury. The next second, he pointed at the man outside the door and said in a sinister, ice-cold voice, "You dare cuckold me, Qi Longbing? Then I’ll make you understand what I’m capable of!"
