Chapter 56 - It Instantly Became a Huge Scandal
Wow! Being cared for by my wife sure feels good! It’s so warm…
The door opened, and Xu Xiyan pushed Huo Yunshen into the van. After the wheelchair was secured in place, the van pulled away from the hospital.
Xu Xiyan sat on the sofa inside the van, brushing off droplets from her hair and shirt. She took out her bag that she’d been covering with her shirt and smiled at Huo Yunshen.
“Mr. Huo, did you finish you rehab for today?”
“Yup.” Huo Yunshen’s dark, cool eyes appeared to convey great sentiment, as he looked at Xu Xiyan affectionately.
With droplets still clinging to her face, Xu Xiyan looked like a lotus leaf in the morning. The view in front of him was pure, fresh and too beautiful for any person to avert their gaze.
As Xu Xiyan raised her head, Huo Yunshen quickly turned, embarrassed.
“Were you worried about me just now?” he asked. “You don’t actually have to mind what others say about me, you know.”
If he really minded what other people said about him, he would’ve died long ago from the amount of scandals he’d endured.
Xu Xiyan smiled and explained. “It’s not what you think it is. I’m just tired of hearing those good-for-nothing people bad-mouthing you.”
Isn’t that the same as worrying about me?
Huo Yunshen’s soft heart fluttered. “Thank you. I’ve actually gotten used to it after all these years. When you’re at your bottom, most will just laugh at you, and only a handful of people will actually come to your aid.” Huo Yunshen sighed.
“That will change now that you’ve met me. If anyone dares to bad-mouth you again, I’ll punish every single one of them.”
Huo Yunshen laughed. Her words were warmer than a fire in winter. He was deeply touched.
I’ll do whatever it takes to repay her kindness, even if it means sacrificing myself!
Xu Xiyan took a towel from the counter in the van and sat beside Huo Yunshen. She helped him to wipe off the rain that was left on his hair and shoulders.
Huo Yunshen sat there quietly, enjoying the help from Xu Xiyan. After she has finished wiping off all the water, Huo Yunshen asked, “how’s your friend? Will she be all rright?”
Xu Xiyan thought of Ying Bao who was still in the hospital. She was stunned for a moment.
“Yes, she’s better now. I’m going to make some congee for her later.”
Xu Xiyan looked outside the window and noticed that they were driving towards Shengshi Yujing.
“Hey, can you ask the driver to stop here?” Xu Xiyan asked. “I need to get out.”
“Sure thing.” Huo Yunshen took out a mic and ordered the driver to turn around. “Drive us to the Blueberry Community.”
The Blueberry Community was where Fang Xiaocheng was staying. Xu Xiyan had never thought that Huo Yunshen would actually let the driver drive them there.
“Mr. Huo, you don’t really need to drive me there. I could have taken the taxi.”.
“It’s fine. It’s a short drive, anyways.”
Even though his voice was soft, there was a hint of force in it.
As she saw the van turn towards the Blueberry Community, Xu Xiyan didn’t argue any further.
…
Xu Xiyan had never thought that her simple act in front of the hospital would cause a massive uproar overnight. It has become the most-searched topic on Weibo.
One result read “Showbiz Emperor Huo Yunshen Married? Wife Thought To Be An Outsider.”
In a few pictures taken by netizens on their smartphones, it was clear as day that the one sitting in the wheelchair was Huo Yunshen. Yet those pictures had only caught the back of the beautiful lady pushing it.
Huo Yunshen had gone into hiding after the accident five years ago. He lived a simple life, avoiding each and every spotlight.
But now, the moment he’d come back to the spotlight, it instantly became a huge scandal.
