No one could understand the feelings Huo Yunshen was having now, how joyful and excited he felt inside . He was almost moved to tears .
After the car accident five years ago, the doctor ruled that Huo Yunshen was paralyzed from the waist down . When he learned that he'd become impotent, too, his entire life fell into despair .
Useless . Impotent . Crippled . Childless . The gossip and rumors were like savage beasts, threatening to crush him inside .
He would usually greet that gossip with a smile, but the truth was that he was bleeding inside .
He wanted so badly to be a normal man .
Just as Huo Yunshen was overflowing with joy at his recovery, Xu Xiyan woke up . She slowly opened her eyes and felt a sharp throbbing pain at the back of her head .
She sat up, rubbing her head . She noticed there were petals on the bed, then looked down at herself . She was almost naked .
“Aaaaaah!”
Xu Xiyan looked around in panic . There was a man sitting in a wheelchair next to the bed . She was shocked . “You! Huo Yunshen?!”
Huo Yunshen had calmed the surging emotions in his heart . His face was now as calm as a windless sea and his eyes shimmered like water . He smiled gently, and softly he said, “Jing Xi . ”
Xu Xiyan was losing her mind . She grabbed at her arms, embarrassed . “Mr . Huo, what's going on? Why am I here? Why are you here?
Huo Yunshen rested his head on his hand lazily . There was a hint of sarcasm in his voice . “Your father is a good man . He wanted to curry favor with me so he gave you to me as a gift . ”
Xu Xiyan: “…”
That bastard!!!
Back in the attic at the Xu family house, someone had knocked her unconscious . Then, when she woke up, she had found herself lying here . If Xu Jinshan wasn't behind this deed, who else could be?
Did he really think she'd be a gift for him?
This was exactly what had happened five years ago, and now it was happening again .
You really astound me, Xu Jinshan . Don't you know that Huo Yunshen is impotent?
Even if I was to stand in front of him naked, it would do nothing for him, okay?
Xu Xiyan understood it all now . The Xu family, acting in their own interest, would not hesitate to betray her again and again, completely ignoring her feelings .
After figuring out the ins and outs of the situation, Xu Xiyan glanced at the quiet man and felt a sudden gladness in her heart .
Fortunately, she was given to Huo Yunshen . If she was given to someone else instead, wouldn't it be the end of her?
Xu Xiyan's panicking heart calmed down at that thought . Didn't she hear from Su Rui and Xu Xinrou that Huo Yunshen had fallen in love with her five years ago?
Was it really true?
Xu Xiyan decided to test him . She fell to her side on the bed and bit her lip lightly . She gazed at Huo Yunshen with innocent eyes and asked, “Mr . Huo, do I look beautiful?”
“Yeah,” Huo Yunshen replied .
Huo Yunshen was not even looking at her and had already turned his eyes someplace else . Even his answer to her question was brief and perfunctory .
Unconvinced, Xu Xiyan pressed him further . “Hey, do you like me or not?”
It was a blunt question, but Xu Xiyan didn't like beating around the bush when it came to feelings .
It was Huo Yunshen's turn to become flustered . He did not expect Xu Xiyan to suddenly ask him a question like this and in such a straightforward way . How was he supposed to answer her?
He liked her . But what if the words couldn't escape from his lips?
