Novel Bin Chapter 13: He Is Deaf
Chapter 13: He Is Deaf
Lin Wanli took a deep breath. She felt that every time she faced Huo Jiuxiao, she had to use a lot of energy because he seemed to be able to see through people's hearts. Every emotion of hers seemed to be transparent in front of him. So she did not know how to treat him. She did not know whether to lie or not.
After calming herself down, Lin Wanli carried the medicine box upstairs. The door to Huo Jiuxiao's room was ajar, leaving a gap. Lin Wanli pushed the door open and saw Huo Jiuxiao changing into his sleeping robe, revealing his scarred back. At this moment, a cudgel wound was hanging on his back, and the force seemed to want to break his bones.
"Let's apply the medicine." Huo Jiuxiao said as he sat on the edge of the bed.
Lin Wanli climbed onto the big bed and knelt behind Huo Jiuxiao. She took out the ointment and slowly pressed it against Huo Jiuxiao's skin.
A few minutes later, she adjusted her breathing and patted Huo Jiuxiao's shoulder. "It's done." Updated from n0v𝒆lbIn.(c)o/m
Huo Jiuxiao turned around and stared at Lin Wanli. However, she hurriedly turned her head away, as if she was afraid of revealing her emotions.
Unfortunately, it had already been leaked.
[Although I don't know the reason, I'm actually relieved that I can't initiate a divorce.]
However, Huo Jiuxiao did not intend to let her go. He grabbed her hand and said, "Are you that happy that I won't let you get a divorce? Are you that infatuated with me?"
Lin Wanli lowered her head, feeling a little discouraged. In the end, she raised her head and looked at Huo Jiuxiao. "You pulled me out of the abyss when I was in the most difficult time. Isn't it normal for me to have a lot of complicated feelings for you?"
Huo Jiuxiao glanced at the pair of black eyes and then looked at the woman who had been tempered for two years. She seemed to have become deep and determined, but...
"Don't have any expectations for me. I'm a scum to the extreme. You can't afford it."
"An adult doesn't have to be with whoever they like. The reason why an adult is an adult is because they can control their emotions. I wanted to restrain myself, but you had to say it." Lin Wanli felt a little helpless. "You don't have to remind me every time that we have many differences between us."
"You've done me a favor, so I'll fulfill your needs. That's all."
Huo Jiuxiao looked into her eyes, which seemed to contain a vast ocean. And the tiny red mole at the corner of her eye made her look even more flirtatious.
Then, he pressed her under him and teased, "You would give in to this kind of request?"
"It's legal for the duration of our marriage." Lin Wanli said calmly.
However, Huo Jiuxiao let go of her and got up to adjust his robe. "You look like a tamed lamb."
Lin Wanli stood up and walked in front of Huo Jiuxiao. She said in front of him, "I don't have much hope for our marriage, and I don't know how to face you so that I can relax. I don't have the extra energy to pursue love, but you suddenly moved in. I don't understand your intentions, so I lost control of my heart."
"If there's nothing else, I'll go out first."
After she finished speaking, Lin Wanli hurriedly put away the medicine box and escaped from the room.
An adult. Did she know that the world of adults was filled with materialistic desires every day?
He did not know why, but even though he wanted the world to be muted, he felt bored when he could not hear her thoughts. People who said what they were thinking were really boring.
Huo Jiuxiao watched as the person left quickly, then let the dead air in the room drown him completely.
Lin Wanli left in a carefree manner, but she regretted it afterward, feeling that she did not perform well.
However, half an hour later, she came back. The noise from the opposite door was too loud, so loud that Youyou could not continue her afternoon nap.
Lin Wanli felt that she needed to explain the situation at home to Huo Jiuxiao, but she knocked on the door for a long time, but there was no response from the room.
Then, she really could not take it anymore and called Song Huaishu.
"Come over and ask your Master Xiao to lower his volume."
On the other end of the phone, Song Huaishu was silent for a few seconds before saying, "President Lin, I told you before that if there's any movement in Master Xiao's room, he didn't do it on purpose."
"Although I don't know why he didn't tell you, I think you'll find out sooner or later that he can't hear you... It's not that he's ignoring you on purpose, but he's deaf."
...
On the other side, in the Lin Family's ancestral residence.
Mother Ye was helping the Old Madam try on the gown for tomorrow's birthday banquet while Ye Zhenzhen stood behind her and cried, "Grandma, it's my fault. I shouldn't have let people follow Ah Li and make her angry. How would I know that I would offend some rich family's children? I just wanted to not embarrass the Lin Family again."
After hearing this, the Old Madam was furious. "Since she's alive, you should come back soon. After fooling around with wild men for so long, now she's thinking about this home? You're doing this for the Lin Family's reputation. Grandma won't blame you. As for that French man, I'll send someone to invite him. Tomorrow, I will personally apologize to him and explain."
"What a sin. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have let Xueyi keep her."
"It will save her from causing trouble everywhere and uprooting the foundation of the Lin Family."
