Still Not Leaving, Still Savoring the Moment?

Maybe it was the sharp pain in his head, or maybe it was the shock of that tear, but he finally let go.

Lin Wan's head fell heavily onto the pillow as she gasped for breath.

It took a long time for her breathing to steady. The discomfort in her lower abdomen gradually faded, but she saw the man beside her writhing in pain, his face pale.

Lin Wan pushed aside her concern, forcing herself to sit up. She looked at him coldly.

"Is this retribution? You keep trying to kill me, but even heaven can’t bear to watch anymore."

Huo Tingxiao raised his head and stared at her, his expression filled with pain. His lost memories surged forward again, crashing into his mind. He shut his eyes and, unable to bear it, slammed his head against the headboard.

Lin Wan was startled. The headboard was solid wood—if he kept doing this, something bad would happen.

She clenched her fists. When he hit it for the fourth time, she finally grabbed him and hugged him tightly.

His forehead was already red and swollen, ruining his usually handsome face.

"Huo Tingxiao, what are you doing?! Is this some kind of trick?!"

Lin Wan rarely got angry, but even she couldn’t describe the emotions surging in her heart.

She knew how much pain he was in. She even knew how to make it stop. But when she thought about how he had nearly strangled her just moments ago, an unbearable sadness rose inside her.

Yet the man in her arms was still writhing, his brow tightly furrowed, cold sweat dripping down his forehead.

Was the aftermath of that accident really this bad?

Lin Wan hesitated, then reached out and placed her hands on his head, gently massaging to ease the pain.

After a while, his face gradually regained some color. Lin Wan let out a small sigh of relief and flexed her sore fingers. Just as she was about to push him away, she suddenly realized—

His arms were wrapped tightly around her waist, holding her in a firm embrace.

She tried to push him away a few times, but it was useless. In the end, she gave up, exhausted.

It was late at night. The man in her arms finally fell into a deep sleep, and Lin Wan, feeling drowsy herself, slowly drifted off.

---

The next morning, Lin Wan heard movement outside the door while she was still half asleep. She quickly sat up and shoved her acupuncture kit under the blanket. But before she could even get out of bed, the door swung open.

She looked up, locking eyes with a servant. Forcing an awkward smile, she tried to stay calm.

At that moment, Huo Tingxiao also woke up.

Unlike Lin Wan, who looked nervous and pale, he seemed completely refreshed.

The servant didn’t dare to look at him for long. She quickly set down the breakfast and medicine before leaving in a hurry.

Lin Wan sat there in a daze. Just as she was processing everything, she heard a sneering voice beside her.

"What’s wrong? Don’t want to leave? Still reminiscing?"

Her face turned red with anger. If she could go back in time, she would rather let this bastard suffer than help him last night!

She threw off the blanket, got out of bed, and took a few steps. But then, as if remembering something, she turned around, her eyes flashing with defiance.

"Last night, Mr. Huo was holding me so tightly. What, are you too much of a coward to admit it?"

Huo Tingxiao’s expression flickered with disbelief, but he quickly hid it behind a mocking smirk.

"Maybe I mistook you for someone else. And Miss Lin, you didn’t push me away either."

His cold sarcasm was meant to make her flustered. He wanted to see her go pale in embarrassment.

After all—

How dare she shout another man’s name in his bed?!

She deserved to die!

But Lin Wan didn’t react the way he wanted. She had already put on her armor.

She walked up to him slowly, grabbed his hands, and leaned in close.

"There will be no one else in the future. Only me. Honey, you better remember my taste and never forget it."

Then she flashed him a dazzling smile and turned to leave.

Huo Tingxiao sat there, stunned.

He had just lost his mind because of this woman!

Lin Wan didn’t look back. She walked straight to the bathroom to wash up.

After finishing, she hid the acupuncture kit away and opened the window to let in some fresh air.

Then, she ate breakfast under Huo Tingxiao's cannibalistic gaze.

Huo Tingxiao stared at her, suddenly missing how obedient and submissive she had been after falling asleep last night.

She had been so obedient and submissive that it didn’t even seem like her.

But he quickly put those thoughts away because the door to the room had been pushed open again. He looked up and saw the family doctor walk in.

Lin Wan glanced at him before respectfully and obediently lying down on the bed.

The family doctor examined her, then stood up with a smile.

"Madam, your fetus is developing well. As long as you rest properly, the child will be born safely!"

Lin Wan’s face instantly lit up with a bright smile. She thanked the doctor and personally escorted him out.

After closing the door, Lin Wan sat quietly on the bed, gently stroking her belly. Her expression softened as she felt the presence of the little life inside her.

She watched him grow day by day. Aside from worrying about the future, her heart was full of anticipation and joy for this tiny life’s arrival.

But her expression once again ignited Huo Tingxiao’s anger.

He grabbed a cup and was about to throw it at her. But just as he saw the fear and panic in her eyes, he suddenly changed direction.

The cup smashed onto the floor, shattering into pieces near Lin Wan’s feet.

Lin Wan was so startled that she couldn't react for a long time.

Hearing the commotion, the servants outside rushed in and quickly cleaned up the broken shards.

"Madam, are you okay?"

Lin Wan couldn't even force a smile this time. She just shook her head, her face pale.

The servant looked at her with both heartache and concern. But before leaving, she secretly slipped a small note into Lin Wan’s hand.

Lin Wan’s face changed slightly when she saw it. She glanced back at the servant, who gave her a subtle nod before leaving.

Ignoring Huo Tingxiao’s anger, Lin Wan rested on the bed for a while before getting up.

She stepped onto the balcony and carefully opened the note in her hand.

"If you encounter any difficulties again, you can always find the old man."

So, the servant had been arranged by the old man.

But the relationships in this mansion were complicated. She didn’t dare to take sides or trust anyone easily.

Lin Wan silently tore the note into tiny pieces, flushed them down the toilet, and returned to her room as if nothing had happened.

But she never expected that Huo Tingxiao had no intention of letting her go.

She had only gotten up to pour herself a cup of warm water when he suddenly grabbed her wrist with great force.

Lin Wan instinctively cried out in pain, but when she looked up, she saw his eyes burning with rage.

"Is Ah Feng the father of your child, like you said?"

Lin Wan hadn’t expected him to remember what had happened last night. But she had no intention of hiding it from him.

So, she admitted it openly.

"Yes."

But she had underestimated his fury.
