Exclusive Love: Pampered by the Scheming Tycoon-Chapter 172: Crushing on Him
Chapter 172: Chapter 172: Crushing on Him
It’s so late, seeing Mr. Huo at the hospital is definitely a rare sight.
Gu Qianxi couldn’t help but tease, "Looks like Mr. Huo is being serious this time."
Mr. Huo cast him a calm glance, "You got a problem with that?"
"Who dares? Not me! Anyway, Keke is sick too."
Only then did Gu Qianxi remember that little one who was still unconscious. He quickly rushed over, gently and carefully scooped Tong Keke into his arms, and strode toward the emergency room.
Mr. Huo watched as Gu Qianxi’s back hurriedly disappeared, his thin lips let out a soft snort. Who was truly serious? Well, that wasn’t so certain.
Mr. Huo took the elevator to Lin Banxia’s hospital room.
He pushed the door open and found the room still brightly lit, the girl on the bed wrapped in bandages was scrolling through her phone.
"You’re hurt like this, and you still have the energy to play on your phone?" Mr. Huo walked over and domineeringly snatched the phone away from her, tossing it aside.
"Hey...!" Lin Banxia wanted to protest, but when she met those pitch-black eyes, she immediately shut her mouth.
"I’ve always heard people say hospitals are haunted. I’m scared, I don’t dare to sleep!" Lin Banxia muttered softly.
Mr. Huo looked at her frightened and uneasy expression and couldn’t help but let out a low laugh, "You’re just too imaginative."
Lin Banxia also thought she was overreacting, but she was just someone who lacked a sense of security.
"Move over a bit!" Mr. Huo saw her eyelids were practically unable to stay open, and said with a stern expression.
Lin Banxia glanced at him. Seeing his sour face, as if angry about something, she obediently scooted to the edge of the bed. freēwēbnovel.com
This was a narrow bed, only about five feet wide. Lin Banxia tried her best to move as far as she could to the other side, but when the man lay down, still fully dressed...
She still felt the bed was far too small.
Lin Banxia, somewhat incredulous, blinked her beautiful eyes, sneaking glances at the man beside her.
The mighty and untouchable Mr. Huo, who was rumored to never even glance at women, was now crowding onto this hospital bed that reeked of disinfectant, just because he was worried she might be scared.
Doesn’t he have a serious case of mysophobia?
Her thoughts scrambled, unable to organize themselves. The more she thought about random things, the more mixed feelings churned in her heart.
"Am I good-looking?"
Suddenly, a low, magnetic male voice drifted into her ears.
"Ah..." Lin Banxia hadn’t even realized that while spacing out, her eyes had been fixed on his face.
Hearing his question, her small face immediately flushed red with embarrassment. Oh no, she’d been caught acting smitten.
She decided to just roll with it, "Of course you’re good-looking. Hasn’t anyone ever told you that?"
"Stop overthinking and go to sleep!" Mr. Huo saw she still had the energy to joke with him. His handsome face darkened, pretending to be angry as he ordered her.
"Okay!" Lin Banxia felt increasingly embarrassed. She had promised herself she wouldn’t indulge in romantic feelings, but she still couldn’t control her heart.
Sigh, Lin Banxia, you’re so pathetic. You deserve this.
Lin Banxia forced herself to sleep, but as soon as she closed her eyes, scenes of her being beaten by those crazy women flashed through her mind, making her whole body tremble lightly.
It’s over; it’ll haunt her for life.
Were it not for the fact that the attackers were Mr. Huo’s grandmother’s people, she’d have fought tooth and nail against that old lady.
Just as Lin Banxia gritted her teeth in anger, a large, warm hand suddenly wrapped around her waist, carefully pulling her into his broad chest.
"Now, can you sleep peacefully?" A warm male voice rang beside her ear.
