Daddy Always Gets Jealous
Chapter 1923 - 26: Feint East, Strike West
Please don’t let anything happen, or else she’ll be partly responsible!
Huo Jinnan stood to the side, his eyes sweeping over in Yan Xiaoxi’s direction, but asked nothing.
Yan Xiaoxi felt it, glanced at Huo Jinnan, then quickly looked away and stood there, saying nothing.
Huo Jinnan stood there, his long fingers pinching his tie, secretly contemplating the relationship between Yan Xiaoxi and the Boss.
He recalled the time they went to Donggang, playing truth or dare, Yan Xiaoxi mentioned that her most embarrassing moment was when her journalist license was inexplicably revoked by the mayor.
Now, the Boss was having rejection symptoms, and Yan Xiaoxi was at the scene, yet she remained silent, which seemed intriguing.
Yan Xiaoxi stood there, always watching the red signal light of the operating room door.
Thus, the entire corridor was so quiet that only the sound of breathing remained.
Half an hour later, the red signal light finally turned green.
Yan Xiaoxi let out a sigh of relief and looked at Huo Jinnan, "It’s very late. Mayor Jin is fine now, so I’ll head back."
Huo Jinnan looked at Yan Xiaoxi, "Wait a moment, I’ll take you home."
Yan Xiaoxi, "No need, I’ll just take a taxi back."
Huo Jinnan, "You’re a girl, it’s not safe at night. If your brother knew, he’d probably feel uneasy."
Yan Xiaoxi, "..."
All just excuses!
Look at how her brother treats Mr. Huo, how could he have any unease? Even asking for a phone number needed permission.
However, if things were said to this point and she left, it would seem she lacks sensibility and would bring shame to her brother.
She looked at Huo Jinnan, "Thank you, Mr. Huo."
Huo Jinnan, "No need to be formal, we’re all on the same side."
On the same side...
Yan Xiaoxi stayed silent, but those words of being on the same side were clearly inappropriate. She knew very well what her and her brother’s positions were, even if Mr. Huo respected them.
Huo Jinnan said no more. When he saw Jin Bo being wheeled out, he went over, placing his hand on the stretcher, took over from the nurse, and headed to the ward.
Yan Xiaoxi quietly followed behind, glancing at Jin Bo, who seemed still unconscious.
Fortunately, he was still unconscious, or it would be awkward for both sides.
She must have been out of her mind before, but now she was clear-headed.
Really, she’d love to vanish right now! Yet Mr. Huo’s words just held her there.
Once at the VIP suite, she stayed in the living room, not entering the ward, and sat on the sofa, waiting silently.
About half an hour later, Huo Jinnan came out and looked at Yan Xiaoxi, "Let’s go, I’ll take you home."
Yan Xiaoxi stood up, looked at Huo Jinnan, "Thank you."
She followed Huo Jinnan’s steps out of the suite.
Jin Bo remained in the ward, only sitting up after hearing the door close and recalling the scene a few hours earlier, rubbing his temples.
Having rejection symptoms at that moment thoroughly embarrassed him as a man!
Just lighting a cigarette, Shen Mubai looked at him, "Trying to kill yourself?"
Jin Bo looked at Shen Mubai, "I’ve always smoked, it’s fine."
Shen Mubai, "If the patient doesn’t care for themselves, there’s nothing a doctor can do. Cherish your life."
Jin Bo, "..."
With Shen Mubai’s words, even smoking a cigarette seemed flavorless.
He simply extinguished it and tossed it into the ashtray.
Thinking of what Second Brother said about Yan Xiaoxi outside, he didn’t even know how to face her.
Second Brother mentioned escorting Yan Xiaoxi home, and he said nothing.
For now, not meeting is the best choice.
Shen Mubai looked at Huo Jinnan, "Why suddenly have rejection symptoms? Describe the situation in detail."
Jin Bo lay in the hospital bed, unwilling to recall that scene, "What’s there to say? It’s just rejection symptoms."
