To My Dear Mr. Huo

Chapter 740: She Suffered Through It With Difficulty

Su Chenghui did not know that he was being targeted. He wiped the water off Li Qianxue’s hands.

“Qianxue, I won’t let you go alone next time.”

Although Luo Cheng might not dare to do anything, Su Chenghui was still worried. “If you need to fetch water or anything tomorrow, let Xiao Jiang go. I’ll accompany you.”

“No need.” Li Qianxue was not weak enough to need someone to protect her. “I can handle it myself.”

Su Chenghui knew that she would not listen to him. He also knew that it was a habit for her to reject him. He did not intend to convince her, but he had already made up his mind.

He would not let Li Qianxue be alone for the rest of the time.

“Are you thirsty? Do you want to drink some water?”

Li Qianxue shook her head and saw the gentleness in Su Chenghui’s eyes. She thought about the moment when her heart was moved. She could not bring herself to say those ruthless words.

She said that she didn’t want it, but Su Chenghui always wanted to take care of him.

He got up and washed some fruits for her, then cut them up. He used a small toothpick and brought them to the bedside one by one.

“Qianxue, eat the fruits.”

“Su Chenghui…” Li Qianxue wanted to say that what he did was useless. She would not be soft-hearted and would not appreciate his kindness.

However, when he put the sweet fruit into her mouth and looked at her with a gentle expression on his face, she could not say a word.

She silently ate the fruit that Su Chenghui fed her. Li Qianxue did not even notice it. She still had one hand that could move freely, but she never touched it again.

Su Chenghui was quite satisfied with this change. It didn’t matter. It would take time.

When Li Qianxue wanted to go to the bathroom, she asked him to call Xiao Jiang in.

“What’s wrong? What do you want? Tell me, I’ll help you.”

Li Qianxue stared at Su Chenghui’s face and gritted her teeth. “I want to go to the bathroom.”

“I’ll carry you.”

“No need.” She could do it herself. Li Qianxue rejected his hand. “Call Xiao Jiang in for me.”

“Qianxue.” Su Chenghui saw the rejection in her eyes and regardless of her rejection, he carried her in his arms.

“Su Chenghui…”

“Don’t worry, I’m just carrying you in.”

Su Chenghui worked out all year round. Although he was not young anymore, his strength was not small. Li Qianxue was not heavy either. He carried her easily and headed towards the bathroom.

The moment he put Li Qianxue down, she used one of her legs to stand firmly. However, she found it difficult. Then, she lost her balance and fell into Su Chenghui’s arms.

She used one of her hands to block Su Chenghui’s chest.

“Get out.”

Su Chenghui looked at the resistant expression on her face. He reached out and wanted to take off her pants.

“You…”

“Be good. It’s not convenient for you to use one hand.”

“I can.” As if to prove her words, she waved his hand away and tried to use one hand to pull her patient pants.

However, she had underestimated her injury. Before she could pull down her pants, her bandaged feet could no longer stand. Her body tilted and she fell into Su Chenghui’s arms again.

This time, Su Chenghui did not let go of her again, nor did he let her push him away.

..

Su Qingsang rushed over with travel-worn clothes. When she entered the ward, she found that the atmosphere in the ward was a little strange.

Li Qianxue was half-leaning on the hospital bed, and her face was a little red. Meanwhile, Su Chenghui was sitting by the hospital bed and looking at Li Qianxue.

“Mom? Dad.”

“Qingsang?”

“Qingsang, you’re here?”

Both of them were pleasantly surprised to see Su Qingsang, especially Li Qianxue.

“Didn’t I tell you not to come? It’s so far away, and the weather is starting to get warm again. How are you? Are you tired? Why don’t you go home and rest first?”

“Mom.” She asked a series of questions, and Su Qingsang didn’t know which one to answer first.

“I’m not that tired. I wanted to come over yesterday, but I made some arrangements.”

As she spoke, Li Qianxue looked behind her and asked, “Where’s Huo Jinyao?”

“He has something to do at his company, so he’ll come over later. Mom, are you okay?”

Su Qingsang finally had the time to visit Li Qianxue. When she saw the cast on Li Qianxue’s hand, she went forward with a concerned expression.

“How did you get hurt so badly? Is your hand okay?”

“It’s okay.”

Li Qianxue shook her head. Su Qingsang did not know that. She looked at Li Qianxue and immediately realized that something was wrong. “Mom, why is your face so red? Don’t tell me you have a fever?”

After trauma, it was easy to get infected and have a fever. These were things that needed to be paid attention to.

As a doctor, how could Su Qingsang not know? She suddenly became nervous.

“Mom, did the doctor make ward rounds today? Did he ask the doctor to examine you?”

“Yes, he did.” Li Qianxue was too embarrassed to tell her daughter the reason for her blushing.

Did she have to say that it was because Su Chenghui insisted on taking off her pants? And then…

She couldn’t say it out loud, and her face was full of uneasiness. Su Qingsang was even more worried now. She raised her hand and placed it on Li Qianxue’s forehead.

“It’s not hot, but you can’t let your guard down. I’ll get the doctor to examine you.”

When she said this, she wanted to go outside. Li Qianxue quickly grabbed her hand. “Mom is really fine. I’m just a little hot. Don’t run around. Sit down and talk to Mom.”

“Okay.”

Su Qingsang nodded and looked at Su Chenghui. Su Chenghui knew very well what he had done just now. He also knew why Li Qianxue’s face was red.

Now that his daughter was here, he also knew that they had something to talk about.

“Since Qingsang is here, let her talk with you.”

He just happened to need to go to the company to settle some business.

“Okay, Dad, you can go.”

Su Qingsang watched Su Chenghui leave, and immediately sat down at the bedside. “Mom, has dad been taking care of you here for the past few days?”

Li Qianxue’s face was still red from anger. Her daughter’s words made her nod. “Yes. It was all him.”

“Mom, what are you…”

“I’m nothing.” Li Qianxue interrupted her daughter. She did not intend to tell her about Su Chenghui. “But you, you just ran out like this. What about Nian Nian?”

“My mother-in-law is there. Grandpa and the others are there too. Don’t worry.”

“Don’t worry.” Li Qianxue glared at her daughter. “Why didn’t you bring them here to see me?”

“I came in a hurry and didn’t have time to prepare. If you want to see them, I’ll ask Huo Jinyao to bring them here tomorrow.”

“Forget it. I’m just saying. Don’t let the two children get too exhausted.”

Li Qianxue couldn’t bear to part with her. “I just think you’re cruel. The children are so young.”

“How is that cruel? Mom, you’re already so hurt. If I didn’t come to see you, I would really be cruel.”

Su Qingsang’s words made Li Qianxue laugh. The discomfort that she felt because of Su Chenghui earlier had mostly dissipated now.

Looking at her daughter who was getting closer and closer to her, she also relaxed. As for the previous incident, she tried hard to put it to the back of her mind.

Did that scoundrel Su Chenghui think that she would compromise just like that?

In his dreams. She would never compromise.

Definitely not. Ignoring the throbbing in her heart, Li Qianxue forced herself to pretend that nothing had happened.

..

The most serious injury to Li Qianxue was on her hand. The injury on her foot only needed to be slowly healed. Xiao Zhao was also out of danger after staying in the intensive care unit for two days.

Li Qianxue was much happier after Su Qingsang’s return. After obtaining the doctor’s permission, she went home to recuperate.

After all, it was much more convenient to stay at home. She could also use this time to get rid of Su Chenghui.

She stayed at home with Auntie Zhang, Xiao Tao, and Xiao Yu. It was not Su Chenghui’s turn to court her.

Therefore, after Su Qingsang came for a day, Li Qianxue went back to the Li family to recuperate.

Su Chenghui knew that she was deliberately avoiding him, but he was not in a hurry. It was not like he could not enter the Li family. Not to mention that his son and daughter were all at home now.

They would not stop him from entering.

Therefore, when Li Qianxue was wheeled to the table for dinner that night, she saw Su Chenghui again. This made her expression look unpleasant.

She wanted to chase him away, but her son and daughter were all here today. Old Master Li also smiled a lot more because of Su Qingsang’s arrival.

Under such circumstances, Li Qianxue could only endure it. She forced herself to pretend that she didn’t see Su Chenghui, who was sitting directly next to her, and focused on eating.

At the dining table, Su Qingsang tried to take care of Li Qianxue and give her something to eat.

Someone moved faster than her. Su Chenghui scooped a bowl of soup for Li Qianxue. He didn’t eat himself and fed Li Qianxue directly.

Li Qianxue looked at the table and felt very uncomfortable.

“I have a hand.”

“Your hand is hurt.”

Su Chenghui was very stubborn. The spoon in his hand was raised to Li Qianxue’s mouth.

“You…” Her daughter and son were staring at her. Old Master Li was sitting next to her.

Li Qianxue refused to cooperate. “Su Chenghui, I can do it myself.”

“Yes, I know.” Su Chenghui’s expression did not change. It was as if he did not feel uncomfortable being stared at by others. “But it will be faster this way.”

“…”

“Be good.” His voice was very soft. Only they could hear each other. “You are hurt. Let me feed you.”

Li Qianxue resisted the urge to throw away the bowl in his hand. Seeing her son and daughter looking at her in unison, she suffered through it with difficulty.

She lowered her voice and stared at the gentle face in front of her. She felt as if she had used all her strength, but was hitting cotton.

“Su Chenghui, I’m not a child.”

“But you’re injured.” Su Chenghui handed the spoon forward a little.

Was he addicted to feeding? Li Qianxue secretly gritted her teeth. When she was caught off guard, he had already fed a spoon of soup into her mouth.

“…”

Su Qingsang suddenly realized that she seemed to have seen something amazing. She couldn’t help but look at Su Yuxin.

Su Yuxin, on the other hand, looked normal. Well, he had already seen her in the hospital, so he wasn’t surprised.

Old Master Li saw Su Chenghui’s actions, and a shrewd look flashed in his eyes.

Fortunately, Su Chenghui knew to stop when things were good. After feeding Li Qianxue, he chatted with Old Master Li in the living room for a while, then got up and left.

Although he wanted to stay, he also knew the logic of taking things slowly. He would not force Li Qianxue to make a decision now.

There was still a long way to go, so he was not in a hurry.

“Qianxue, rest well. I’ll leave first. I’ll come and see you tomorrow.”

Li Qianxue didn’t even raise her head and spoke without thinking.

“You don’t have to come tomorrow. With Qingsang and Yuxin, I don’t need you to come and see me.”
