like anything I had ever heard before—so cruel and cold.Even with the scent of milk still clinging to it.Huo Sijue's face finally changed, and he immediately stood up from his seat, grabbed the phone...:[ ]

He cocked his head and slowly glanced at her. It might have been Wen Xixi's illusion, but she seemed to see his gaze soften considerably all of a sudden.

"Well, you're impressive, but you're not a Du, are you"

"Surname Du What does this have to do with surname Du" Wen Xixi was very puzzled.

"Of course, she's Lo Hai Ming's granddaughter. You think there's no connection" The man suddenly sneered.

">..."

Wen Xuxu's eyes finally widened!

Lu Hai Ming, of course, knew that. He was a renowned doctor in City A during the 1980s, a neurosurgeon to be precise, very famous.

At that time, he and his maternal grandfather, Du Heng, were renowned throughout the land. The Du family was a prominent lineage of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, and Du Heng was their most outstanding member. During that era, a saying circulated widely: "West Luo, Central Du." It was believed that if these two joined forces, they would be invincible.

It's a pity that her maternal grandfather's family has fallen into such disarray now.

But, isn't the Luo family no longer in the country We haven't heard from them in decades.

"That's because your Du family is ignorant and uninformed. Luo Haiming has already established a huge medical institution abroad, and many hospitals worldwide belong to his Luo family. Luo Yu is part of the responsible people there. How can you compare it to your Du family"

In the end, the man didn't forget to scorn Wen Xixi one last time.

Wen Xuxu gritted her teeth.

Will he die if he doesn't tell on her

Wen Xuxu thought of her uncle's family, who were indeed living a hard life right now. She felt a little uncomfortable, but she had to admit that what he said was true.

Once, two families were prosperous and powerful, now one is still thriving while the other has fallen to such a state that they don't even have a decent place to live. What could she say

Especially Du Ruijun, who is also a descendant of the Du family.

Wen Xuxu's eyes dimmed completely.

"Are you done"

"Huh"

"Are you going to stand here all night Not sleep" The man's patience had finally worn thin, and he began to recover his usual tyrannical demeanor.

Wen Xuxu immediately shrank back.

"Ask... Ask finished, then immediately go to sleep..." Then Wen Xuxu turned around and prepared to go to bed.

At this moment, the man standing beside her suddenly grabbed her arm again!

Then, before Wen Xixi could even understand what was happening, her feet suddenly left the ground. This man had, with his two strong arms, simply scooped her up and held her horizontally!

"Ah——!!"

Wen Xuxu was like five thunders striking the top of her head!

She stared at the man, her eyes wide with shock. Her small hands flailed wildly before she grabbed his collar tightly: “You… what are you going to do”

Her voice trembled, her heart pounding so hard in her chest that it felt like it was about to burst out of her throat.

But the man completely ignored her: "What do you want me to do Wait for you to crawl over here Are you still sleeping"

Then, with a sinister look on his face, he carried the woman to the bed.

But he didn't notice that when he held her, the faint scent of softness on her body drifted into his nostrils and his voice had become unnaturally low.

His eyes also darkened a bit.

This damn woman!

He could only quickly regain his composure and then, holding her, walked swiftly to the bed and tucked her under the covers.

Wen Xuxu: "..."

She too had a flushed face, and as she lay in the bed, she let out a sigh of relief.

It's okay, I just put her to bed.

But she hadn't even finished taking a breath, before the ceiling light flickered on. To her surprise, the man in just his bathrobe walked to the other side of the bed and climbed under the covers.

Wen Xuxu: "!!!!!!!!"

In a split second, a thunderbolt seemed to strike her mind. She widened her almond-shaped eyes and stared at him, her mind blank for what felt like an eternity!

Was he really possessed

Or… could it be that her eyes were playing tricks on her She must be seeing things!

Wen Xuxu stared for a long time, her eyes wide as if she had seen a ghost.

"Why are your eyes so wide open Shouldn't you be sleeping"

">...

"

Wen Xuxu shivered again.

A few seconds later, her voice trembling, she finally asked, "You... are you sleeping here"

Huo Sijue frowned: "Not allowed"

Wen Xixi: "No, it's just…just…"

First, this is my bedroom. Where else would I sleep Second, you and I are still legally married. Is there a problem with sleeping together Illegal

A low, slightly impatient male voice echoed through the quiet bedroom. It was so clear that you could even hear his every breath.

Wen Xuxu finally stopped talking.

That's indeed not illegal.

But they never slept in the same bed like a normal couple after getting that marriage certificate.

Wen Xuxu stared wide-eyed at the darkened ceiling all night.

Her mind raced, her body rigid, her heart pounding relentlessly. She lay awake for what felt like an eternity.

Until about an hour later, perhaps because of the physical injuries, she finally couldn't hold on any longer and fell into a deep sleep. Then, her state relaxed.

That was when the man sleeping beside her, with his eyes closed all along, opened them in the darkness.even he didn't realize it, but he had let out a long sigh of relief.Such a relief!But just for a few seconds, he fell into another kind of confusion."Why is she not reacting""Huh"Lin Ziyang is going t...
