The man's eyes seemed to be burning with fire. "Shut up!"
Lin Wan quickly closed her mouth and carefully covered him with a blanket. But his face was still dark and scary, like he wanted to eat someone.
She lightly patted her chest, trying to calm herself down, but she couldn't help blushing.
Right now, Huo Tingxiao had no interest in teasing her. He was completely annoyed.
The acupuncture session took about an hour, and Lin Wan was extremely nervous in the tense atmosphere.
Luckily, he didn’t kick her out again. When the treatment was done, sleepiness hit her like a giant wave, and she had no strength to resist.
At first, she only swayed a little, but later, she found a comfortable spot, rested her head against the blanket, and fell into a deep sleep.
Huo Tingxiao didn’t hear anything from her and was about to rudely pull her up. But when he saw her quiet, peaceful sleeping face, he stopped.
He could tell she was really tired.
Without any makeup on, her long eyelashes hung down like little crow feathers. Her face finally had some color—soft and pink. Her lips were slightly pouting, like she was acting cute.
Right now, she looked much gentler than during the day. She wasn’t aggressive at all. But her small hand still tightly held the blanket, and her brows were slightly furrowed.
Was she reminding him to keep her covered?
Huo Tingxiao was startled by the thought in his head, but still, he slowly pulled up the blanket and tucked her in.
As soon as she felt the warmth, her forehead relaxed, and she unconsciously moved closer to the heat source.
Huo Tingxiao’s face twitched.
This woman always knew how to take advantage of things!
He was already familiar with the acupuncture process, including how long the needles had to stay in his legs. He was just waiting to take them out.
But the few minutes that usually passed quickly felt incredibly long this time. He looked at the woman sleeping peacefully next to him, and the feelings he had been suppressing started rising again.
Her unique scent, the one that only belonged to women, kept drifting into his nose, making him restless.
He resisted and resisted, but in the end, he still didn’t push her off the bed.
But that strange feeling in his heart wouldn’t go away.
He actually thought… that the way she looked right now was completely different from what everyone said about her.
But in the next second, her bulging belly hit him like a punch.
If she was really innocent, how could she have gotten pregnant before marriage? And why did she work so hard to marry into the Huo family?
Not to mention how she had won over his grandfather and made him turn a blind eye to everything.
All of this proved that she was a woman with deep schemes.
Huo Tingxiao's face darkened. When the time was up, he removed the needles and pushed her shoulder, trying to move her away.
But as soon as he got close, he heard her let out a soft little sound, like she was acting cute.
"Mm~"
His hand froze.
The moment he lifted his hand again, he realized his palm felt burning hot.
This woman… not only did she have a seductive face, but even when she was asleep, she could be so deadly.
He shook his hand, trying to get rid of the heat, but it didn’t help.
He gave up and lay down.
It was just a woman.
Just a woman!
The space under the blanket was small, and her soft scent kept lingering around him, making him restless. He really wanted to push her off the bed.
Even in her sleep, she was still seducing him!
Lin Wan was completely unaware of his struggle. She just felt the warmth next to her and instinctively moved closer.
But every time she got near, she would be pushed away.
After a few times, she got a little angry.
Pouting, she used a sweet, lazy voice Huo Tingxiao had never heard before and hugged him tightly.
"Ah Feng, if you keep messing around, I'll really get mad."
The moment she said this, his face turned pale.
Who was Ah Feng? Was he the father of her child? Or just another man?
Huo Tingxiao felt like strangling her.
How dare she call another man’s name on his bed!
Her neck was so slender, it looked like it could snap with just a little force.
Instead, he grabbed her shoulders and held her tightly.
"Lin Wan, you damned woman!"
He was furious, but for some reason, a sour emotion rose inside him.
Before he could figure out what it was, he saw her slowly open her sleepy eyes.
She looked at him in confusion, her round, apricot-shaped eyes filled with innocence.
"What's wrong?"
Her voice was soft, carrying a little sleepy laziness, as if she was acting spoiled. It made some of his anger fade.
But when her head tilted as if she was about to doze off again, he gripped her shoulders tighter and leaned in.
At that moment, their bodies were almost pressed together. One was angry, the other was sleepy, and neither paid attention to the strange atmosphere.
"Who is Feng?"
Hearing this name, Lin Wan was first stunned. Then, all her sleepiness disappeared.
It had been so long since she heard that name…
She couldn't help but recall a memory, and a soft, nostalgic expression appeared on her face.
But to Huo Tingxiao, her expression only made him angrier.
He squeezed her neck, making her face turn red instantly. She struggled to push him away, but he held her down even tighter.
"Lin Wan, look at me! You are in the Huo family now, lying on my bed. Do you think I'm dead? How dare you think about another man right in front of me?!"
Lin Wan soon found it hard to breathe. She struggled desperately, but he wouldn’t let go. Her nails scratched him, drawing blood, but he remained unmoved.
Her breathing became weaker and weaker.
At the same time, the baby in her belly seemed to sense the danger and started kicking wildly.
Pain shot through her neck and abdomen, making her face turn pale.
She clutched his arm desperately, shaking her head, pleading silently.
A single tear rolled down her cheek and landed on the back of his hand.
It was hot.
In that instant, Huo Tingxiao’s mind went blank.
And then, a sharp headache hit him.
