Revenge of the Wife

Chapter 216

Huo Jian Sheng said happily, "That's right, don't be so polite with me!"

Li Man quickly responded with a nod, feeling that Huo Jian Sheng was truly inscrutable. She didn't know what he was thinking. He treated her so well, wasn't he afraid she would misunderstand? Or was he just this kind to everyone?

Unable to figure it out, Li Man decided not to dwell on it and they continued their casual conversation.

During that time, Huo Jian Sheng went out and came back with a large bag.

He put away his laptop and placed the bag on the table.

"Has your takeaway arrived?"

Huo Jian Sheng nodded and picked up one of the boxes, opened it, and placed it in front of Li Man. "This is the black-bone chicken soup I ordered for you. Come, let me feed you."

"No need, I've already eaten. You have it," Li Man quickly said.

"I ordered two portions. If you don't drink it, I can't finish it by myself, and it will go to waste," Huo Jian Sheng said regretfully.

"It would be such a waste to throw it away, wouldn't it?"

Li Man was used to being frugal and couldn't bear to see food wasted.

"What else can we do? How about you drink it?" Huo Jian Sheng suggested.

"Okay!"

And so, Li Man fell into Huo Jian Sheng's trap.

The corners of Huo Jian Sheng's lips couldn't help but curl up as he picked up a spoon and fed Li Man the soup.

Li Man had originally wanted to say, "You finish your meal first and then feed me."

But Huo Jian Sheng's spoon had already reached her lips, so Li Man had no choice but to swallow the words along with the black-bone chicken soup.

After feeding Li Man, Huo Jian Sheng finally started eating.

Li Man lay on the bed, watching Huo Jian Sheng eat.

It turned out that even good-looking people could eat in such an attractive manner.

As she watched, drowsiness overcame her, and Li Man fell asleep in a daze.

In the middle of the night, Li Man woke up because she needed to use the bathroom.

It was all because she had drunk too much black-bone chicken soup before going to sleep!

She was surprised to see Huo Jian Sheng sleeping on the accompanying bed. Hadn't he left?

The caretaker was really negligent!

Huo Jian Sheng was sound asleep, and Li Man didn't have the heart to wake him up, but she couldn't hold it in any longer, so she mustered up the courage to call out, "Huo Jian Sheng..."

To her surprise, as soon as she called out, Huo Jian Sheng opened his eyes, startling Li Man.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Huo Jian Sheng quickly got up from the bed, his voice filled with concern.

"It's nothing, I just need to use the bathroom," Li Man said, feeling embarrassed.

Huo Jian Sheng visibly breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the bed, and picked up Li Man, carrying her into the bathroom.

Once was awkward, but the second time wasn't as embarrassing.

After using the bathroom, Huo Jian Sheng carried Li Man back to bed.

He helped her wipe her hands and considerately asked, "Do you want some water?"

"No, thank you!" Li Man couldn't bring herself to drink anymore. What if she drank and then needed to use the bathroom again?

"Then I'll go to sleep. If you need anything, just call me." Huo Jian Sheng yawned and went to sleep on the accompanying bed.

"Okay!" Li Man replied.

Soon, the sound of Huo Jian Sheng's steady breathing could be heard.

Li Man lay in bed but couldn't fall asleep.

She turned her face towards Huo Jian Sheng.

Huo Jian Sheng's body curled up slightly, one hand resting beneath his head, eyebrows furrowed.

Even while sleeping, his brows were creased. Was he uncomfortable or troubled by something?

She had heard that people who curl up while sleeping often lack a sense of security. But could someone like Huo Jian Sheng also lack a sense of security?

Li Man didn't think so.

Lost in her thoughts, she gradually succumbed to drowsiness and fell back asleep.
