"..."
Gu Ruochu was indeed very worried about Xu Yichen. In her previous life, they had fought together until the end. This time, Xu Yichen was fighting alone against a dozen strong men. The situation had been very dangerous.
If Huo Nanchen had not appeared, something really bad could have happened.
However, although she was worried, it was not to the extent of crying!
Gu Ruochu saw that Xu Yichen was gritting his teeth in pain. She was no longer in the mood to argue with Huo Nanchen. She simply pretended to be aloof and did not reply.
Xu Yichen was rushed into the emergency room. Soon after, the doctor came out and told them that Xu Yichen had suffered several rib fractures from the kicks he had received. He would have to recuperate properly.
As Gu Ruochu made her way towards the payment hall, she bumped into a woman who had been rushing in her direction. The woman fell to the ground while Gu Ruochu took a few steps back and pressed herself against a wall of flesh.
Huo Nanchen took the opportunity to wrap his arm around her waist. His deep and magnetic voice rang in her ears. "Are you throwing yourself into my arms? You haven't seen your husband for one or two nights and you're already in such a commotion?"
His aura was still as cold as ever. His vulgar words added a tinge of arrogance to his manly charm.
Gu Ruochu felt a boiling hot aura pressing against her ear. This was the first time she had heard him say such hooligan words. Was this still the same Huo Nanchen who despised her?
From what she remembered, he had always been fierce towards her.
In the past, he would be unwelcoming when she tried to get close to him.
Why was it that now, he couldn't help but talk with a tinge of color...
"Huo Nanchen, your tone really sounds like a woman who is deeply unhappy with her desires. Didn't master Huo once warn me not to pay any attention to him? What, are you going to slap yourself now?" Gu Ruochu's tone was teasing with a hint of sarcasm.
Huo Nanchen did not reply, but he did not release her either. He remained calm and composed, his deep eyes unfathomable.
She enjoyed the fact that she had made him speechless.
Gu Ruochu retracted her gaze and looked at the young woman who was sitting on the ground and rubbing her legs.
"Miss, are you all right?"
Gu Ruochu straightened her body and extended her hand towards the woman. Huo Nanchen, who was beside her, glanced at the woman on the ground without much emotion.
The woman raised her head and her familiar face stunned Gu Ruochu. Was this Chu Xinlan?
She never thought that she would see her again.
Their eyes met and they felt as if they had known each other for a long time. Of course, Chu Xinlan did not know who Gu Ruochu was. After being slightly surprised, she politely apologized.
"My lady, I'm sorry. I didn't see you, I was in a rush."
"It's all right. You're here to see Xu Yichen, aren't you?" In her previous life, they had been on good terms with each other.
However, five years ago, Chu Xinlan had suddenly disappeared from Nan Cheng, and there had been no news of her ever since.
Chu Xinlan was clearly very surprised. "Yes. You know Xu Yichen?"
"Yes, we're friends. Come with me."
Gu Ruochu led the way while Huo Nanchen followed closely behind her and held her hand in his palm. He was really taking his role as her husband seriously.
Sometimes, she thought that he had really fallen in love with her. But she mainly suspected that it was because of his possessiveness or other desires.
They waited for almost two hours before the doctor transferred Xu Yichen to the VIP ward. After half an hour, Xu Yichen woke up.
"Ruochu, are you all right?"
The first thing Xu Yichen did when he woke up was to ask if Gu Ruochu was all right. Huo Nanchen's eyes narrowed as he stared at the two of them.
