I’m Waiting for You in Ashes - Chapter 45
Su Wan’s operation was a success. After removing the gauze, she recovered very well.
In the afternoon, she was lying on her bed, reading the comic book Huo Qing had bought her.
“Your eyes haven’t recovered yet, so you can only look for half an hour.”
Su Wan glared at the man in dissatisfaction.
Huo Qing looked back at her expressionlessly.
After staring for only a moment, she was defeated, muttered something, and rolled over with her back to him.
Looking at this face, she really couldn’t get angry.
Su Wan felt that she was hopeless, but the reality was beyond her expectations. She did not expect her husband to be such a good-looking man in this world.
The servants did not lie to her.
Su Wan didn’t think that she was infatuated, but every time she saw this amazing piece of skin, she couldn’t help but be stunned for a long time.
Moreover, he had taken care of her these past few days. Su Wan felt that if this went on, she wouldn’t be able to leave him. How could she be angry about that?
Huo Qing stacked the books on the side, and skillfully carried her into his arms to massage the acupuncture points on her eyes.
In the past few days when he had been watching the doctor massage, he had actually learned eighty to ninety percent.
Su Wan was very comfortable being served, her fingers drew circles on the man’s chest.
“Huo Qing, I have something to ask you.”
“Go ahead.”
The man’s chest vibrated as he spoke, tickling her ears.
Su Wan was amused and laughed at him for a while before she finally panted and said.
“That day, I heard the doctor say to you from the outside, ‘After all, it’s the young madam’s big brother’s cornea, so the opposites are very small …’. Huo Qing, do I have a big brother?”
she said, and gave her head a bitter knock.
“But I don’t remember at all.”
Huo Qing’s body instantly stiffened and his expression turned ashen.
Su Wan carefully peeked her head out of his embrace. Seeing his reaction, she was a little stunned.
“I… Is there something wrong with your question? ”
“Mm, you’re wrong.”
Huo Qing’s voice was stifled and strained as he lowered his head to bite at her lips.
“You don’t have hallucinations in your head for other men. Don’t listen to the gossip of the servants. Where did this’ big brother ‘come from? I’m the only man in your life, remember? ”
Su Wan’s lips were red and swollen from being bitten. She scolded to avoid it, thinking that he was jealous of her reaction. She felt warm inside and forgot to investigate further.
While they were arguing, there was a knock on the door.
The butler’s voice was respectful.
“Young Master, it’s a call from the helper.”
Huo Qing cursed. He took the time to steal some incense from Su Wan’s lips and got up to tidy up his clothes.
“Be good and wait for me at home. I’ll take you to eat some of your favorite dishes tonight.”
“Alright.”
Su Wan answered him honestly, thinking that after he left, she could read the comics for the whole afternoon.
She smiled and waved her hand as she watched Huo Qing turn around and leave.
In the main hall, at the long table, the atmosphere was solemn.
Huo Qing crossed his hands, leaned his shoulders against the back of the chair, and raised his eyebrows lazily.
“Someone from the White Way?”
“Yes.”
A-Biao quickly handed over the documents in his hands.
“This Qi Qi, he’s the newly appointed chief procurator. It was him who ordered the annihilation of the Bai Clan, and now the docks where we deliver our goods have been taken by him. It seems like the next one is going to take us down, the situation isn’t optimistic …”
Huo Qing’s long and narrow eyes were suffused with a cold intent of alienation.
The rebel army had been keeping the righteous way for many years, otherwise they wouldn’t have done such a big thing. However, this newly appointed attorney general wanted to use the righteous side right from the start?
Huo Qing stood up. He conveniently hung his jacket at the crook of his arm and straightened his body.
“I’ll go meet this Qi Cai.”
The people around the table hurriedly stood up with worried expressions.
“Boss …”
Without looking back, the man walked proudly toward the door.
“It’s fine if I go alone. You don’t have to follow me.”
