why not go abroad for two years to clear your mind By the time you finish your studies, the Qiao family's case will also be over. At that point, even the biggest favor from both families will be repa...Zhang Chongguang didn't speak, he just held her gently.

Sunshine streamed through the glass, adding a touch of warmth to the already warm room. And they embraced each other gently, in this aftermath of survival.

Beside the bed, Huo Shaoting placed the thermos on the bedside table and beckoned to the people beside him.

Wen Man wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and followed him out.

Huo Yunsi kept one hand in his pocket and held Lu You with the other as they walked out. In the warm ward, there were only Huo Xi and Zhang Chongguang left... For a very long time after, they realized what had happened.

He leaned against the headboard, gazing at her, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly. He called for Xi over to him.

Huo Xi leaned in, one hand around his neck, and kissed him lightly on the lips.

There is a slight dryness.

Zhang Chongguang also embraced her, kissing her gently, slowly… No one was in a hurry, probably because they had a lifetime to share with each other.

"You've been unconscious for three days, you haven't brushed your teeth."

Ho Xi hugged him around the neck, her voice soft, with a hint of mischief.

Zhang Chongguang came closer and kissed her again.

He couldn't take his eyes off her, unwilling to look away. Long after, Huo Xi said very seriously: "Zhang Chongguang, thank you for saving me twice."

He gently touched her face, also very tenderly: "You're welcome, Lawyer Huo, I just saved my own wife... Hey, let's get the marriage certificate when we return to the city!"

"Alright, let's get the marriage license first, and have the wedding ceremony next year."

Having said that, Huo Xi leaned softly against him, ceasing all conversation. She simply nestled there... Perhaps she would still occasionally recall past events, but she believed the shock Zhang Chongguang had given her when he saved her was greater. She would never forget how, at the brink of death, he shielded her with his body and never let go of her hand.

After holding each other for a long time, Zhang Chongguang's voice came from above: "Although I enjoy it too, Huo Xi... I'm kind of hungry."

Huo Xi felt a little embarrassed.

She only then remembered that he hadn't had any food or water for three days. She quickly said, "I'll help you wash up and make some soup for you... The doctor said you have to stay here for a few more days."

"How such a delicate flower! Tomorrow, if everything is alright, we'll check out of the hospital and go home to rest."

Zhang Chongguang struggled to his feet, Huo Xi helped him wash up. She also noticed that his leg, which had almost recovered, was now noticeably limping again. Zhang Chongguang followed her gaze and smiled faintly, "It'll be alright in a few days, compared to being alive, this is nothing! Huo Xi, from now on, I don't want to live in self-pity."

Heaven has given him so much, this small flaw doesn't matter.

Huo Xi smiled faintly.

Later, a bowl of soup, two people drink...

*

Under Huo Shaoting's insistence, Zhang Chongguang still stayed in the hospital for three days before flying back to the city with the Huo family.

Originally, Huo Shaoting and Wen Man wanted them to live in the big house, but Zhang Chongguang still wanted to go back. They didn't force him, either. After all, they had just made up and were enjoying their sweet time together, wanting some time for themselves as a couple.

For this reason, Huo Shaoting specially took the three children away.

In the villa, only Zhang Chongguang and Huo Xi were there, recuperating together.

That evening, after dinner Zhang Chongguang took care of some business and returned to the bedroom... Huo Xi had already taken a bath and was wearing a yukata as she made phone calls to the children. She languidly leaned against the sofa, one hand holding a towel and gently wiping her wet hair.

Beneath the yukata, two snow-white legs stretched straight, faintly visible.

Zhang Chongguang's Adam's apple rolled slightly, and his voice suddenly became hoarse: "Don't talk too late."

Huo Xi looked up at him, then said a few words into the phone before hanging up. "Do you want to take a bath I'll help you."

Zhang Chongguang's leg was injured, and the doctor advised that it would be best to use a sponge bath to allow the wound to heal.

He usually dries himself, but with this private space in the bedroom now, Huo Xi thought it would be normal to help him out. After she said that, Zhang Chongguang glanced at her and said: "I'll do it myself!"

"I'll help you."

Ho Xi got up and went into the dressing room to get him a bathrobe. Then she went to the bathroom to run water.

Zhang Chongguang listened to the noises inside.

After a while, he walked in.

Hoxi tested the water temperature and said softly, "Sit on the edge of the bathtub and be careful not to slip."

Zhang Chongguang walked past, leaning in and gently stroking her soft cheek. His voice was hoarse, as if he had swallowed hot sand: "How come you're suddenly so considerate It feels strange."

Ho Xi rose to her feet following his pull, facing him.

He had just jumped out of a video conference, so he was dressed up - a charcoal grey wool shirt with black trousers... She pressed against his chest, feeling the strong muscles beneath her touch.

Look down, there's a defined waistline and tight hips.

"As Hossila unbuckled his belt, he looked up and murmured softly, "I haven't been working out in two years. How are you keeping that figure"

Zhang Chongguang's eyes were fixed, and after a long pause, his thin lips uttered two words: "Celibacy."

Huo Xi lowered her eyes and smiled faintly.

Her slender fingers unbuckled the belt, pulling out the hem of his shirt. The buttons in her hand came undone with practiced ease... His upper body was perfect, but when she reached for his trousers, Zhang Chongguang gently stopped her hand and whispered, "Let me do it myself!"

Underneath the chandelier, all senses are heightened.

Hawsey followed his body, resting her head in his neck, a hand gently pulling at his trousers... Her warm breath blew on his side of the neck, a tingling sensation running through him: "Zhang Chongguang, we need to be honest with each other. As husband and wife, we can't always do that in the dark. Besides, don't you want to see me"

He certainly wanted to...

Zhang Chongguang lowered his eyes, he grasped her black hair and pulled her into his arms.

"But it's so ugly, Hosie. I'm afraid you'll be scared."

"Not ugly at all! Zhang Chongguang, I forbid you from being self-deprecating about this anymore."

The trousers slipped down, falling onto the Roman tiles.

That left leg, appearing before Huo Xi intact, was...incomplete. …Like it was pieced together. Every muscle fiber wasn't the way it used to be, not a single part smooth.

"Hosei, I told you it was ugly."

Zhang Chongguang wanted to cover her eyes, not letting her see, but Huo Xi refused.

She made him sit on the edge of the bathtub. She took a towel, dipped it in water, and began to slowly wipe him down... little by little, with utmost care and tenderness, every stroke sent her heart trembling; she was afraid he would feel pain.

"It didn't hurt a while ago, Hoxi. It doesn't hurt anymore." He said softly, looking down at her.

Ho Xi bent down,spank your bottom!"Xiaolu immediately went over and hugged his arm, her eyes blinking rapidly: "Daddy, I'm also a small flower bud left by Grandma. Am I not as good as a few pots of flowers Grandma kn...
