Chapter 13 Is She Your Woman
Seeing that the rain was getting heavier by the minute, she could not get off either, so she allowed Huo Lichen to send her home.
Her body was plastered to the window. In no time, she started feeling groggy as her eyelids became heavy. Before she knew it, she was fast asleep.
At Seine Villa, South City’s most luxurious seaside villas, the Lamborghini pulled over in front of one of the villas.
Wei Qi opened an umbrella and walked over to the backseat. He opened the door courteously. “Sir.”
Huo Lichen was about to get off, but he paused. With a glance at Yan Wan who sat beside him, his brows furrowed into a frown.
Right then, she rested motionlessly against the car window, seemingly asleep.
Wei Qi bent down to take a peep and queried, “Sir, shall I go wake Ms. Yan?”
“No need,” Huo Lichen replied quietly and got off the car.
He walked over to the other side of the car expressionlessly and opened the door.
After that, he picked Yan Wan up.
Wei Qi, who was behind Huo Lichen, stared in shock while holding an umbrella for them.
Mr. Huo carrying Ms. Yan? It’s the first time I’ve seen him approaching a woman after so many years!
As Huo Lichen carried Yan Wan into the villa, he ignored the wet floor while his profound gaze was fixated on the woman in his arms.
Her clothes were drenched, which felt cold and soggy to the touch. But her petite body gave him Deja vu. It was the same feeling he had with the woman that night.
“Cold…” Yan Wan seemed uncomfortable. Her eyelashes fluttered, but her eyelids remained shut.
Huo Lichen hugged her tighter, and his large body shielded her from the wind.
Upon touching her forehead, he was shocked by how hot it was.
Is this woman running a fever?
Huo Lichen’s expression darkened as he quickened his pace into the villa. At the same time, he instructed, “Get Qin Chu over immediately.”
“Yes, sir,” Wei Qi hurriedly whipped out his phone to make a call.
Ten minutes later, Qin Chu hurried over while catching his breath. He asked the moment he saw Wei Qi, “Wei Qi, what happened to Lichen? Is he unwell?”
With a strange expression, Wei Qi answered in a muffled tone, “You’ll see.”
Qin Chu was perplexed. What’s with Wei Qi? Don’t tell me Huo Lichen suddenly has a severe illness?
As he thought of this, he rushed into the master bedroom on the first floor.
“Lichen, I’m here. How are you feeling…” He choked before he could finish the sentence with his mouth agape at the scene that greeted him.
Huo Lichen was sitting at the bedside and looked perfectly healthy, other than the fact that his expression was cold and aloof.
But there was a pale woman lying on the bed.
After taking a glance at Qin Chu, Huo Lichen got up from the bed and offered him to sit.
He said solemnly, “She’s ill. Help me take a look.”
Qin Chu was speechless. Did he ask me to rush here through the rain in the middle of the night for a stranger? And I’m not even a doctor by trade.
Huo Lichen frowned when he saw Qin Chu’s displeased expression. He explained patiently, “She’s my woman. I don’t trust anyone else but you.”
“Your woman?” Qin Chu was bewildered. He had been close friends with Huo Lichen for many years and had not seen any female organism with him at all, much less have him admit that he had a woman.
He was interested instantly. “How long have you two been together? Whose daughter is she? And how did she even melt your frozen heart?”
