CHAPTER 540: CHAPTER 541 BEGGING YOU 5

Huo Shaohua lay on the sofa with his eyes closed, not answering her words.

A wave of pain surged through his waist, and his hair roots were drenched in sweat.

Tian Xingyun got closer and noticed something was off with his complexion, paler than when he had left earlier.

His eyebrows were slightly furrowed, as if in considerable discomfort, and she even detected a metallic smell of blood?

Her heart started pounding, and she squatted beside him, reaching out to touch his forehead, which wasn’t hot.

Huo Shaohua grasped her hand and opened his eyes to see her worried expression.

Warmth filled his heart, and he said, "I’m fine."

"Are you sick?" Tian Xingyun asked worriedly, her voice somewhat weak.

"Kiss me, and I’ll be fine." Huo Shaohua smirked, his smile mischievous.

"Can you be serious?" Tian Xingyun blushed furiously, half-embarrassed, half-angry.

"I’m really fine. Go inside and sleep. It’s not safe to leave our daughter sleeping alone."

Tian Xingyun pouted and fixed her gaze on him. This man was acting very strange tonight.

He said he was going to the old house but came back, looking unwell.

Moreover, he urged her to go to bed without any intention of following, even stranger!

He’s definitely hiding something from her, absolutely!

She grasped his hand in return, blinking at him, "Come on, let’s go sleep together. It’s too cold to sleep here."

Huo Shaohua swallowed, his mouth suddenly dry, staring at her.

What did she mean? Did she want him to go to bed together? However...

He couldn’t go! If she saw his injury, she’d be terrified.

"I must stick to our agreement, no more fooling around." Saying this, Huo Shaohua despised himself internally.

To hell with sticking to the agreement, he couldn’t wait to take her to bed!

If he wasn’t injured, he would have definitely made his move!

This time it was her initiative. It would be normal for him to be with her.

But unfortunately, he just couldn’t tonight...

Tian Xingyun cursed him inwardly, pretending to be such a gentleman!

Typically, he wasn’t like this. His odd behavior today certainly had a reason.

"Come on, it’s too cold to sleep here." Tian Xingyun’s voice softened, with a hint of coquetry.

"..." Huo Shaohua’s entire body stiffened; her gentle voice was too tempting~

She rarely spoke so tenderly.

"Sweetheart’s dad, let’s go to the room and sleep."

"I..." Huo Shaohua’s words were caught in his throat.

"Hurry up, it’s so late already, let’s go to bed early." Tian Xingyun stood up, pulling his hand to lift him.

Huo Shaohua sat up, gasping in pain. Damn it!

She was being so gentle today, yet he was injured...

Tian Xingyun’s sharp eyes noticed something odd around his waist.

She sat on the sofa and reached out to lift his shirt, seeing the white bandages stained with blood...

What on earth did he do?! Why was he injured!

Huo Shaohua was momentarily stunned and quickly pulled his shirt down, preventing her from seeing.

He grasped her hands, holding them in his palms, and said, "I’m fine, don’t worry..."

"Is this what you call fine? You’re hurt and bleeding!" Tian Xingyun burst into tears, so worried and scared.

What if something serious happened to him...

Huo Shaohua was at a loss, knowing she’d react this way, so he didn’t dare let her know.

He didn’t expect that with a little trick, he’d be caught...

"Did you encounter danger? Was it a robbery? Did you call the police? Have you seen a doctor?" Tian Xingyun asked a series of questions through tears, pulling her hand towards his waist forcefully.

She wanted to lift his shirt but hesitated, finally biting her lip and gathering the courage to look.

The bandages were thick, soaked with blood— the wound was surely serious.

"I’m fine, don’t cry." Huo Shaohua felt uneasy, reaching out to wipe her tears.
