偷窥闺房

Huo Zheng did not know how to say sweet words to coax Lin Xiaowan. He could only kiss her gently and apologize at the same time.

Meanwhile, Aunt Wu stood far away. It was naturally inappropriate for her to interfere in their affairs. However, she could not help but glare at Huo Zheng. After all, Lin Xiaowan had just been discharged and had not fully recovered, but as soon as Lin Xiaowan got home, he made her cry. Needless to say, under normal circumstances, she did not dare to glare at Huo Zheng.

After Huo Zheng coaxed Lin Xiaowan for a long time, she finally stopped crying. Her round eyes were red, and there were still tears in them. Her voice was soft and low as she said, “I don’t like you anymore.”

Huo Zheng wiped the sweat off her forehead and handed her a glass of warm water as he said humbly, “I’m sorry, okay?”

“How could you even think of giving Little Chestnut away? You’re really terrible! Little Chestnut doesn’t like you anymore either!”

“Okay, okay. I was wrong…”

The man, who was swift and decisive outside, did not dare to defend himself at all at this moment. He hugged Lin Xiaowan and humbly admitted his mistake.

After crying and calming down, Lin Xiaowan was much more rational. She understood that Huo Zheng made such a suggestion for her sake. She knew Huo Zheng was not like her father. She knew Huo Zheng cared for her and would not send Little Chestnut away when she was not around.

In any case, Huo Zheng did not dare to mention giving Little Chestnut away again.

After lunch, Huo Zheng accompanied Lin Xiaowan to take a nap. He had not been able to rest well recently. Perhaps it was because he was home, he was not very vigilant and fell asleep easily.

When he woke up, he saw Lin Xiaowan lying next to him, watching a movie with her headphones on. He pressed the pause button and removed her headphones before he unpaused the movie again. He rubbed her ears gently as he said, “Don’t wear the headphones for too long.”

Lin Xiaowan stopped watching the movie and snuggled up against him as she said, “I was afraid I’d wake you up.”

Huo Zheng wrapped his arm around her waist. She had lost a lot of weight after the drowning incident. The weight she had gained during winter had completely disappeared. He kissed her and said, “It’s fine.”

After her nap, Lin Xiaowan recalled how she had cried and lost her temper earlier and felt that she had been unreasonable. She said to Huo Zheng nicely, “I really don’t want to give Little Chestnut away, okay? At most, 1 promise I won’t rub my face against her belly, okay?”

This was a habit of Lin Xiaowan. When she played with Little Chestnut, she would sometimes nuzzle Little Chestnut’s belly.

Huo Zheng stroked her long hair and said, “You can’t carry and hug her all the time…”

Lin Xiaowan raised her head to look at him before she touched his face and said, “Does this mean you won’t give her away?”

Huo Zheng knew that if he insisted on sending Little Chestnut away, Lin Xiaowan would die of sadness. However, he was also worried that keeping Little Chestnut would aggravate Lin Xiaowan’s condition.

Seeing that there was no response, Lin Xiaowan pouted. However, she did not cry like before. She pleaded sadly, “Please don’t give Little Chestnut away.”

Huo Zheng could not bear to see her like this. He hugged the delicate woman in his arms tightly and said with a sigh, “Okay, I won’t give her away.”

Then, he also reminded Lin Xiaowan not to carry and hug Little Chestnut too often and to have less intimate contact with it.

Lin Xiaowan nodded and agreed to go for checkups regularly as well.

Meanwhile, Little Chestnut, who was basking in the sun on the second floor, was completely unaware that its life had nearly changed.

Two days later.

After Lin Xiaowan took her medicine at night, Huo Zheng brought a bottle of medicinal oil over to give Lin Xiaowan a massage. She was already weak, to begin with. Now that it was July, it was getting hot. It was even hotter because the air conditioner was not turned on. This could not be helped, if the air conditioner was turned on, Lin Xiaowan would be cold in just a short moment.

After speaking to the doctor, Huo Zheng decided to massage Lin Xiaowan’s feet every night before going to bed.

Over the past few days, Huo Zheng had been working from home. Lin Xiaowan’s time with Little Chestnut had also been reduced. There was once when Little Chestnut approached her and rubbed against her leg, but just as she was about to pick Little Chestnut up, she heard Huo Zheng, who was next to her, coughing lightly. With that, she could only give up on carrying Little Chestnut.

Lin Xiaowan watched as Huo Zheng meticulously massaged her feet. She curled her toes and asked, “Huo Zheng, do you dislike Little Chestnut?”

Huo Zheng rarely played with Little Chestnut in the past. The few times he did, it was only to accompany her. The number of times he took the initiative to play with or pet Little Chestnut was almost negligible.

“You’re thinking too much,” Huo Zheng said.

It was not that Huo Zheng disliked cats and dogs. Perhaps it was just his nature, but he was just indifferent to them. Although he had had pets before, he did not have any special feelings for them.

“I’m not thinking too much,” Lin Xiaowan muttered.

“I just think that no animal is more important than your health. However, I failed to consider your feelings. I promise 1 won’t give Little Chestnut away, okay?”

Lin Xiaowan did not intend to force Huo Zheng to cultivate feelings with Little Chestnut. She only pouted for a while before she threw this matter to the back of her mind.

Another two days passed.

After staying home for a few days, Lin Xiaowan finally realized that something was wrong.

When she woke up in the morning, Huo Zheng carried her to the bathroom to wash up. While she was brushing her teeth, she seemed to have thought of something and said, “You’ve not gone to the company recently…”

Huo Zheng nodded. He felt that Lin Xiaowan was not truly safe unless he was around. She was not very sharp or smart, to begin with. What if something happened again when he was not by her side?

Although Huo Zheng did not think Lin Xiaowan was very sharp, she was actually quite sensitive and observant about some things. When she saw his secretary bringing a pile of documents over during breakfast, she could vaguely sense something.

Huo Zheng told his secretary to wait in his study first while he accompanied Lin Xiaowan for breakfast.

“Why are you working from home these days?” Lin Xiaowan asked.

He asked in return, “Isn’t it good that I’m spending time with you?”

In fact, Huo Zheng was very busy even when he was at home. His employees would come to the house early in the morning, and they would only leave at night. Sometimes, after he accompanied Lin Xiaowan to bed, he would go to his study for online meetings. After all, the Huo Corporation was a big company. There were many things that he needed to deal with.

One day, after waking up in the morning, Lin Xiaowan yawned and said, “I have nothing to do at all recently. 1’11 accompany you to the company. Your office has such a big window. I’ll draw by the window.”

Huo Zheng agreed and brought her to the company. After parking his car, he took his exclusive elevator up to his office.

His employees naturally did not know that their boss could not leave his wife’s side recently so he brought her to work.

The couple had discussed this beforehand. As such, Huo Zheng had already asked someone to prepare things for Lin Xiaowan in his office. For example, an easel had already been placed by the window, and there was a small bench for her. A soft carpet also had been placed on the floor next to the window..
