I’m Waiting for You in Ashes - Chapter 9

In the early hours of the morning, a person suddenly crawled into Su Wan’s blanket.

She was startled and alert.

The man roughly untied her nightgown.

The familiar aura caused her to quieten down and allow him to do whatever he wanted.

Huo Qing entered her body familiarly, and the scorching temperature inside caused him to slightly frown.

“You have a fever?”

Su Wan shook her head.

She didn’t know.

His body didn’t know pain or itching, nor did he know cold and heat. Other than feeling dizzy when he was really uncomfortable, he couldn’t feel anything else.

Sometimes, she even felt like a machine that was operating with great precision.

Huo Qing unhappily withdrew, and wrapped himself in his pajamas to find a thermometer and medicine for her.

After measuring the temperature, he was somewhat angry.

“40 degrees 3? Are you an idiot? You don’t even feel anything? ”

Su Wan was scolded so much that she dared not make a sound. She hugged her blanket and watched as he busied himself with finding medicine for her.

But soon, she woke up and told herself that it was just an illusion. Li Mengqing came back, and everything was different.

After consuming the medicine, Huo Qing went to the bed and hugged her.

“Why did you suddenly get a fever?”

In his impression, this woman’s physical fitness was almost comparable to his. Even if she stayed by his side and was injured all year round, it was rare for her to worsen.

Su Wan smiled and shook her head.

“I don’t know.”

Anyway, he wouldn’t care.

As expected, Huo Qing did not continue asking. Instead, he was silent for a moment.

“Su Wan, give me back the ring.”

“…”

Su Wan raised her butterfly like eyelashes and looked at the man in shock.

What did he say?

Return the ring to him?

The other day at the hospital, when he put the ring on her, she thought she was the happiest woman in the world.

But this dream was only a few days away from awakening?

Perhaps it was because there was finally some resentment within her clear eyes that Huo Qing shifted his gaze away somewhat uncomfortably.

“Don’t look at me like that. I didn’t expect Meng Jing to come back. ”

As if the name had given him courage, he looked down at her.

“I originally thought that she was dead, and that I could take care of her without her. However, she has returned. As such, I was unable to do so.”

To Su Wan, every word was like a bolt out of the blue.

To him, she was just a piece of cake.

She had thought that after all these years of fighting side by side, with such tacit understanding, he would be like a stone, and should be warmed by the wind.

But on a night like this, he told her carefully, word for word, that she was just going to be there.

Su Wan held back and did not let her voice tremble.

“But, grandfather’s dying wish is for you to marry me … Young Master, you even have to defy Grandfather’s only dying wish? ”

Huo Qing’s gaze sank.

Since when did she have the guts to bring out her grandfather to suppress him?

Thus, his expression and tone turned cold.

“I’ve already married you.”

“Just for a month?”

“Just one month.”

Su Wan looked like she had been burned by something. She shrank back and said nothing more.

It was rare to see a woman with such a pitiful appearance.

After some thought, he proposed a remedy.

“I’ve thought about it, let my Huai Qing follow you from now on. This child is outstanding, capable and loyal. I think highly of him, and it is very likely that he will achieve something after a few years. “I’ll have him come and find you tomorrow, you better keep him well. When we get divorced, you can marry him.”

Su Wan looked at the man in shock.

Were these ridiculous words really coming from his mouth?

It was as if something in her body had shattered, and the power of the fragments had exploded, giving her the courage to resist in front of him.

Su Wan pushed the man away and glared at him.

“You’re crazy! Huai Qing is only a twenty year old child! “
