In the quiet night, she could hear the sound of him flipping through a book.
She could not help but turn around, wanting to see what he was doing.
After turning around, she quietly opened her eyes and saw the man leaning against the bedside table, looking down at the documents. His brows were slightly furrowed, as if he was not satisfied.
The warm light was not very bright, and the light and shadow cast his shadow on the documents, giving them an inexplicable warmth.
Zhao Siqing did not say anything. She rested her hands on her pillow and looked at him in a daze.
He was really beautiful. His lips were red and his teeth were white. She had never seen a man more beautiful than him in her life.
However, he was too aggressive. Even his beauty carried a hint of dominance and gloominess. For some reason, people did not dare to act rashly.
Zhao Siqing stared at him and let her imagination run wild for a while. Her eyelids gradually became heavy.
Not long after, Huo Jingchen turned to look at her. Seeing that she had fallen asleep, his gaze became gentler. He stared at her for a while and could not help but gently hook her little finger. He played with her for a while and was a little greedy.
A moment later, Huo Jingchen reluctantly let go of her and put her hand back under the blanket.
Zhao Siqing still did not sleep well. In a daze, she opened her eyes to take a look.
Seeing that he was still there, she closed her eyes again and fell asleep.
The night was getting deeper and it was quiet.
Zhao Siqing fell into that dream again.
After the knife fell on the floor, the man picked up the fruit knife with a dark face and asked someone to take it away.
Not long after, the doctor rushed over. He looked at Huo Jingchen's bleeding hand and said anxiously, "Sir... let me treat your wound first. "
"Take a look at her first, " the man said in a deep voice. His dark eyes stared straight at Zhao Siqing who was sitting by the bed.
The doctor briefly checked Zhao Siqing's wound. He wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, he sighed and took care of Zhao Siqing first.
"Madam's injury is not too serious. She just needs to recuperate, " the doctor said softly.
"okay, " the man replied in a deep voice and then turned to leave the bedroom.
Zhao Siqing looked at the pool of blood on the bed in a daze. She sat by the bed for a few seconds before she could not help but stand up and walk to the door.
She opened the door slightly and stood behind the door to watch the movements in the living room.
The doctor was treating his wound while at the same time trying to persuade him, "sir, you have to go to the hospital. This hand of yours might have some side effects in the future... the situation is not very good... and the wound on your neck... "
"Shut up. " The man lowered his eyes and said impatiently.
The doctor paused and looked at him, but he did not continue.
Zhao Siqing slowly raised her hand to the door frame. She was a little absent-minded when she heard the doctor's words.
After treating the wound, the doctor turned around and left. For a moment, only the housekeeper and servants were left in the living room.
The man slowly stood up. His malicious gaze swept over the few servants and said coldly, "all kitchen staff will be fired. They will never be hired again. "
Zhao Siqing was stunned for a few seconds. She raised her eyes slightly and met the man's deep gaze. She subconsciously took two steps back.
His dark eyes looked straight at her. He opened his lips slightly and said coldly, "one more time, everyone will be chased out of Binhai. "
Zhao Siqing remained silent. She knew that his words were for her to hear.
But she seemed to be unable to do anything.
Not long after, a servant came in to clean.
She stood silently at the side, not saying a word.
She watched as they swiftly cleaned the room, changed the bed and carpet, and cleaned up the wolf, borrowed, and broken pieces.
In just a few minutes, the room returned to its original appearance, without any changes.
It was as if.. No matter what she did... ... No matter what she did, she would never be able to break out of this cage ...
