Terminally Ill Female Lead Of An Angst Novel Went Rampant After Her Awakening-Chapter 478 - : Because You Are The Opponent
Chapter 478: Because You Are The Opponent
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Huo Chaosheng and Huo Zhuxiu were arrested by the police for murder, shocking both the entertainment and business industries.
Topics about them remained trending for many days.
Huo Corporation’s stock had hit the lower circuit for multiple consecutive days.
Huo Xunzhou was discharged from the hospital after a nap on that day.
However, he fell seriously ill on the night he returned home.
This illness appeared out of nowhere. He did not have appetite during the day, nor could he sleep at night.
Lin Shanchu pushed all of her work aside and stayed at home to take care of Huo Xunzhou.
Yun Yi and Yun Jin took turns to visit Huo Xunzhou every day.
Huo Xunzhou usually did not talk much. He would listen quietly to whatever others said, and his gaze would involuntarily follow Lin Shanchu.
After they left, Huo Xunzhou would follow Lin Shanchu wherever he went. “It’s getting late. I still have something to do tonight. I’ll be leaving now.”
Yun Yi stood up and saw Huo Xunzhou’s gaze falling on Lin Shanchu. It was obvious that he had not paid attention to what he had just said.
“Xunzhou?” Yun Yi called out.
Only then did Huo Xunzhou turn around and look at Yun Yi.
“Big Brother, you are leaving?” Huo Xunzhou asked after noticing that Yun Yi had stood up.
“Yeah.” Yun Yi turned to Lin Shanchu and said, “Shanshan, see me off.’
Lin Shanchu noticed Yun Yi’s gaze. Just as Huo Xunzhou was about to follow Yun Yi, he stopped him. “It’s windy and little cold today. Don’t follow me.” Huo Xunzhou had been recuperating at home recently and wore loungewear every day.
He was wearing dark gray cotton loungewear today, looking thin and elegant without much attack power.
His resistance was written in his beautiful charming eyes.
Lin Shanchu’s heart softened under his silent stare.
“Be good,” she whispered, kissing Huo Xunzhou on the lips while Yun Yi was paying attention.
Huo Xunzhou’s eyes lit up as he obediently sat down on the sofa.
“Big Brother, I’ll see you off.” Lin Shanchu curled her lips and trotted to catch up with Yun Yi.
It was indeed windy today.
When Lin Shanchu walked out of the door, the strong wind almost made her unable to open her eyes.
Yun Yi also reached out to block the wind.
“Xunzhou has been in this state recently. It must be tiring to take care of him, right?”
“Why would I be tired? Big Brother, why do you say so?”
Lin Shanchu looked at him in confusion.
Yun Yi pondered for a moment before he asked cautiously, “Should we consider looking for a counseling psychologist?”
“No.” Lin Shanchu’s expression froze.
“Alright,” Yun Yi replied and did not try to persuade her further, as if it was just a casual remark.
Judging by Yun Yi’s personality, Lin Shanchu knew that he would always make a decision after careful consideration and would never mention it casually.
Lin Shanchu stopped at the entrance and looked solemnly at Yun Yi.
“Big Brother, it is true that something has been troubling Huo Xunzhou, but his mind is far tougher than you think. He doesn’t need a counseling Dsvchologist vet. It’s iust that he can’t figure out some things at the moment.”
Yun Yi relaxed and smiled. “I was too nervous because I’ve never seen Xunzhou like this.”
“Don’t worry, he’ll be fine.” Huo Xunzhou had once pulled her out of the abyss. He was an optimistic person, so this was nothing to him.
As for Yun Yi, he was probably overwrought.
“I’m leaving.” Yun Yi nodded.
Lin Shanchu watched Yun Yi’s car disappear before she turned around and returned to her room. freewe(b)novel
When she went into the room, Huo Xunzhou was still sitting quietly on the sofa waiting for her, not moving at all.
Lin Shanchu smiled at him.
As soon as she walked over, Huo Xunzhou reached out and pulled her into his arms.
He rested his chin gently on her shoulder and asked her in a low voice, “What did Big Brother say to you?”
Lin Shanchu tilted her head and replied, “Take a guess.”
Huo Xunzhou pondered for a moment before he frowned and shook his head lightly.
Then, he lowered his head and kissed her in revenge.
As if surrendering, Lin Shanchu avoided his kiss and spoke, “I’ll tell you, okay?” “Alright.” Huo Xunzhou took a few steps back and scrutinized her face.
“Big Brother asked when we’re going to hold our wedding,” Lin Shanchu said with a smile.
“How did you answer him?”
“I said I’d be too busy and feared that I wouldn’t have time to prepare for the wedding, so I’d probably have to ask his third brother to put in some effort.”
Lin Shanchu smiled at Huo Xunzhou.
Huo Xunzhou was stunned for a moment before he laughed along.
“Then I’ll have to work a little harder.”
In the following days, Huo Xunzhou actually started preparing for the wedding.
Furthermore, he was dedicated and serious about it.
It was just just selection of a venue, but dozens of companies came to bid with their proposals.
These dozens of companies were amazing with their proposals, and each of them was better than the other.
Huo Xunzhou looked at them as if they were tender documents. He read them carefully one by one and then screened them one by one.
As a result, he became busier and his condition was much better.
Lin Shanchu finally felt relieved when she saw him like this. After that, she slowly started to deal with work.
Life was gradually getting back on track.
Huo Xunzhou was idle at home preparing for the wedding, whereas Lin Shanchu took on some jobs that did not take up much time and guaranteed that she could go home to accompany him every day.
On the way rushing for an endorsement event, He Xiang asked her, “How’s your uncle recently?” I haven’t seen him posting on WeChat, and he doesn’t reply to me on WeChat either.”
“He’s quite busy recently.” Lin Shanchu thought of Number 1357 and couldn’t help but grit her teeth.
Number 1357 was really good at hiding. It had been almost a month since she was kidnapped by Huo Chaosheng, and he still had not shown himself.
However, she could not find him.
When Lin Shanchu returned home at night, she found Li MO squatting at the door smoking, looking a little depressed.
“Sister-in-law.”
When he saw Lin Shanchu return, he immediately stood up.
“What’s wrong?” Lin Shanchu asked.
Li MO glanced inside and replied, “Huo Zhuxiu’s case is about to start next week.”
“So fast?” Lin Shanchu quickly walked in.
Li MO explained in a low voice, “Huo Chaosheng’s trial is also expected soon because there’s too much attention.”
Huo Xunzhou was playing chess with himself in the living room.
He raised his head when he heard footsteps.
“You are back.” When he looked at Lin Shanchu, a smile appeared on his face. freeweb(n)ovel.com
The chessboard was usually placed in the study.
Huo Xunzhou had probably taken it to the living room to play chess while waiting for her.
“How can you lose to yourself?” Lin Shanchu asked as she sat across from him.
“Because you are the opponent,” Huo Xunzhou replied without hesitation.
Lin Shanchu was stunned for a moment before she smiled at him with her chin in her hands.S earch newn0vel() on g00gle
This was the first time she had seen someone like Huo Xunzhou who could play chess with himself and even lose to himself.
After the game ended, Huo Xunzhou put away the chessboard. Then, Lin Shanchu dragged him to the kitchen to make dinner together.
Recently, Lin Shanchu cooked at home more often.
Huo Xunzhou followed her instructions and took out the required ingredients from the fridge. He then walked to the sink and started washing the vegetables.
“Do you want me to accompany you to Huo Zhuxiu’s trial?” Lin Shanchu asked.
After a moment of pause, Huo Xunzhou replied, “Li MO told you, didn’t he?”
“Yes.”
“I can go by myself..”
