Huo Yunting was very dissatisfied with Xia Chuwei's indifferent attitude towards him, but he was at fault first and could only endure it.

He leaned down and placed a gentle kiss on Xia Chuwei's face.

"I'll be back soon."

Xia Chuwei said no more.

After giving her one last look, Huo Yunting turned and walked out of the room.

After closing the door, Huo Yunting said quietly to the bodyguard guarding the door: "I have something to do and I have to leave for a while. You can call some more people to stay around. No one is allowed to enter without my permission. Do you understand?"

"My subordinate understands."

After hesitating for a moment, Huo Yunting added: "She is not allowed to leave this room either."

The bodyguards nodded, "Yes."

After repeated explanations, Huo Yunting finally left with peace of mind.

...

After handling the urgent matter in the company, Huo Yunting hurried back.

After confirming from the bodyguard that Xia Chuwei had not left the room and nothing unusual had happened, he felt relieved.

When I opened the door to the room, it was quiet inside.

Worried about affecting Xia Chuwei's rest, Huo Yunting stepped lightly.

Entering the bedroom, Xia Chuwei was lying on the bed and asleep.

The moment he saw her, the man's heart finally dropped, and his tense nerves were finally relieved.

Even though he knew clearly that with his current arrangements, it was absolutely impossible to snatch Xia Chuwei away from him.

But when he couldn't see her, he still felt uneasy and anxious.

And this anxiety will only disappear completely when seeing Xia Chuwei.

Huo Yunting walked to the bed silently, gently covered her with a quilt, and looked at Xia Chuwei with a softness that he didn't even notice.

At this moment, his eyes inadvertently glanced at the bowl placed aside.

The heat in the bowl has long since dissipated, and the porridge inside has not moved.

Huo Yunting was startled at first, and then a bit of sullenness appeared in his eyes.

He immediately wanted to wake up the sleeping woman.

But the moment he was about to touch her, his movements paused.

His arm was stiff in mid-air for a while, and he slowly lowered his hand.

In the end, he did nothing, his eyes fell deeply on the woman, and he did not look away for a long time.

...

I don't know how long she slept for, but Xia Chuwei was woken up by thirst.

She stretched out her arms to get the water glass on the table.

Her head was still dizzy and her body was too weak to even stand up.

The water glass was still some distance away from her, and after her fingertips slightly touched the water glass, she lost her strength.

Suddenly, a hand picked up the water glass on the table and thoughtfully handed it to her lips.

Only then did Xia Chuwei notice that there was someone sitting next to her bed.

After seeing the person clearly, Xia Chuwei was startled for a moment, then took the water glass and drank silently.

"Do you want more?" the man asked.

Xia Chuwei shook her head, "No need."

The man put the water glass back again.

The sun is setting in the west, and the sun is gradually setting.

There was no light on in the room, so it seemed particularly dark.

The man's handsome face was shrouded in dim light, making it difficult to see his expression clearly.

But Xia Chuwei could clearly feel that the air pressure around her was a little low.

His mood... doesn't seem to be very good.

Xia Chuwei didn't know who had offended him again, so she remained silent and didn't speak.

Silence spread, and the surroundings seemed to be getting colder and colder.

Xia Chuwei never had the intention to say anything.

In the end, it was the man who spoke first, breaking the silence.
