It's not that she's uncomfortable, but...

Xia Chuwei was confused, but she didn't have the courage to speak.

"I...it's okay."

"You go upstairs first, and I'll find some ointment to reduce swelling."

"......good."

Not long after, Huo Yunting entered the room with a stick of anti-swelling ointment.

Xia Chuwei was sitting on the sofa in a daze.

Huo Yunting walked up to her and said, "I'll help you apply the medicine first."

After that, Huo Yunting took a medical cotton swab and began to disinfect the wound on her lip and apply ointment.

When Huo Yunting became serious, his face became particularly serious, and his aura became intimidating.

There was a refreshing and cool feeling on the lips, which relieved the heat and pain of the wound.

Xia Chuwei looked into the man's serious and focused eyes, and an unprecedented guilt came over her, almost drowning her.

Xia Chuwei's tears fell down without warning.

Huo Yunting was concentrating on applying medicine to Xia Chuwei.

Suddenly, cold liquid fell on the back of his hand.

Huo Yunting was stunned for a moment and looked at Xia Chuwei.

The tears in the woman's eyes fell drop by drop on the back of the man's hand.

There was obviously no temperature, but it was like scalding hot oil, scalding his heart.

The movements of his hands just stopped.

Before Huo Yunting could ask anything, Xia Chuwei rushed into the man's arms and hugged him tightly.

"Why are you so nice to me?" She seemed to be asking him, but also seemed to be asking herself. "Why?"

If he was more indifferent to her, wouldn't she feel so guilty?

If he still maintains a marriage with her where everyone gets what he wants, as before, will she be able to tell all the truth without any scruples?

It wasn't until this moment that Xia Chuwei suddenly understood why she was threatened by the masked man.

She is not afraid of being known by everyone and losing her reputation.

She was not afraid that Huo Yunting would divorce her.

She was afraid of seeing Huo Yunting's disgusted and hateful eyes, and of losing the hard-won warmth in front of her.

People will move forward bravely and fearlessly because there is nothing they care about.

Once you have something you care about, you will become hesitant and timid.

Xia Chuwei knew very well that Huo Yunting knew that the masked man was not his enemy. He knew that she had used him in exchange for a chance to escape. After knowing what had happened in the past few days... with Huo Yunting's character, it was absolutely impossible.

Want her again.

Before experiencing what happened in the Evernight City, Xia Chuwei was not afraid of divorce at all. But after returning from the Evernight City, her body and mind were severely damaged.

To her, Huo Yunting was the life-saving straw for drowning people, the glimmer of light in the darkness, and the hand before falling into the abyss.

Huo Yunting held the slender woman in his arms and spoke in a deep, clear voice, like the savior of a desperate world.

"Chu Wei, because you are my wife."

Xia Chuwei's whole body trembled. She hugged the man's hand and tightened her grip, tightly holding on to the last piece of driftwood.

Her heart was like a helpless duckweed.

She must not lose Huo Yunting, even if she conceals and deceives her.

Xia Chuwei suddenly wrapped her arms around the man's neck and took the initiative to offer her lips.

Huo Yunting seemed not to have expected her move. He was stunned for only a few seconds and then quickly turned around.

The ointment rubbed on Huo Yunting's thin lips, but neither of them paid attention.

The morning sun cast a layer of warm golden light, and the man's handsome face was like a god in Xia Chuwei's eyes.

...

The bathroom door was pushed open, Huo Yunting casually put on a bathrobe and walked out.

With a quick glance, Huo Yunting caught a glimpse of Xia Chuwei, who was thinking about something with her lowered eyes.

His dark eyes were dim, and his low voice was vaguely sexy and hoarse.

"What are you thinking about?"
