Chapter 904: Die A Horrible Death
Jun Shiyan’s handsome face became a little flushed as he let out an awkward low cough. He looked at his father-in-law, who still did not know anything, and said in a low voice, “I understand. I’ll get An Yan to buy one. Wait a minute.”
In the past, he had not known anything about this either. Ever since he had started dating his young lady, he had gradually learned some terms that only existed among girls.
Upon seeing his understanding look, Huo Ci became even more suspicious. Did the two of them have a code word? Only he didn’t know it. He frowned, “Where are you going to buy a Great-aunt?”
Ling Sheng finally could not hold back her laughter. This was the first time she had seen her father look so stupid. She looked at him seriously and explained, “Father, actually, ‘Great-aunt’ is menstruation. This is how us girls address it among us. Also, sanitary pads are also called little angels, breads, and Great-aunt’s cloths. Anyway, there are different names from different places.”
She should still be kind enough to explain it to him, lest he become a joke from his ignorance when he got a girlfriend in the future.
Huo Ci’s handsome face changed again and again. He refused to admit his ignorance no matter what. He let out a low cough to hide his embarra.s.sment. “You women are troublesome!”
Upon seeing her father’s embarra.s.sment, Ling Sheng was amused inwardly. She looked at him and said, “Father, An Yan will take some time to buy them. I want to use it now. Go and get two from Sister-in-law and the others first!”
“Did you hear that? Go and get two from someone!” Huo Ci looked at Jun Shiyan directly. After giving the order, he gave Ling Sheng a disdainful look. “Don’t you know how to prepare spare ones when you go out?”
Ling Sheng looked at him meaningfully as she held in her laughter. Oh, she had not expected him to know about bringing spare ones. She really thought that her father did not know anything!
Huo Ci was displeased by her look and wanted to flare up. However, when he saw her pale and weak face, his heart ached again. On account of the shock she had suffered when she had fallen into the water, he mercifully let her go. He directly sat on the sofa and continued playing games. This stinky brat, what was the meaning of her gaze?
In the end, Jun Shiyan still looked for Su Nuo and asked him to ask his mother for it. After all, he was a man. It would be fine if he went out to buy it, but he was still embarra.s.sed to ask Ling Sheng’s sister-in-laws for it.
Su Nuo brought a few bags over and even said that his mother told him to ask for more if there was not enough.
Ling Sheng’s period had come a week earlier. It had probably been stimulated after she fell into the water. Her stomach hurt a little, so she sprawled on the bed and fell asleep.
However, Su Nuo’s words bothered her a lot. Su Nuo had said that the servant in charge of watching General at home had said that he had seen Huo Xuanzhou go to the courtyard where General was kept in in the morning.
General was sensitive to red. Whenever he saw the color red, he would go crazy. During the New Year, people would come and go. Afraid that someone would not be aware or forgot and wore red clothing to the house, they would lock him up for safety reasons.
Ling Sheng fell into deep thought, increasingly feeling that her speculation was not unreasonable. That sc.u.mbag Huo Xuanzhou could really do anything!
The servant had said that he was the only one who had gone there. He must have been the one to release General and put on a show by himself of a hero saving a damsel in distress
After all, there was no woman who had never fantasized about her future other half being a great peerless hero. Since ancient times, such tricks had always won one’s heart!
Huo Xuanzhou only came to see Ling Sheng after Su Yan woke up. “Say, has water entered your brain? I was obviously right beside you. Why were you that nervous as to jump into the water so quickly? Dids you want to die?”
As someone who had been on the scene at the time, he had been scared to death. However, Su Yan was fine. She had still been conscious when he had saved her. He didn’t even have to administer treatment when she woke up completely after spitting out a few mouthfuls of water.
However, she had lost consciousness, her heartbeat, and her breathing. She was like a cold corpse that had just been fished out of the water.
Moreover, he had never known that a cold and heartless man like Jun Shiyan, who was always calm and collected at all times, would also get nervous and afraid.
Jun Shiyan had performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation(CPR) on her over and over again. He kept calling her, but she had no reaction at all.
“You’re the one whose brain was flooded with water,” Ling Sheng frowned. Her voice was tense as she looked at Huo Ci and Jun Shiyan. “Father, Third Master, can both of you leave for a moment? I have something to tell my brother alone.”
Huo Ci gave her an annoyed look, stood up, and left without asking anything.
Jun Shiyan gave Huo Xuanzhou a warning look before leaving as well.
Only Ling Sheng and Huo Xuanzhou were left in the room. The atmosphere was inexplicably heavy.
Huo Xuanzhou, who was standing beside her, was already on alert in his heart. He frowned and looked at her, waiting for her to speak.
Ling Sheng did not waste her breath and got straight to the point. “Huo Xuanzhou, does Aunt’s fall into the lake have anything to do with you?”
Huo Xuanzhou had been mentally prepared. However, when he heard her question, his eyes suddenly grew icy and his lips curled up mockingly. “I didn’t do it.”
Ling Sheng looked at him gravely. “You’re wearing a red scarf. The servant said that he saw you pa.s.s by General’s residence in the morning.”
Although she had always secretly called him a sc.u.mbag, she did not want such a nasty thing to be done by him from the bottom of her heart!
“Ling Sheng, I told you that I didn’t do it! No matter how much of a sc.u.mbag I am, it’s beneath me to use such a despicable method to gain a woman’s favor!” Huo Xuanzhou’s lips curled up in cold ridicule, and his heart sank to the bottom instantly. He said coldly, “The drama of a hero saving a beauty is too outdated.”
So, was he such a shameless and despicable person in her heart? That he was able to do anything without a bottom line?
“I was just asking,” Ling Sheng felt relieved. Her hands, which were under the blanket, gripped the quilt nervously. In a low voice, she said, “Don’t take offense to it.”
She did not know why she was afraid that he had done it, nor did she want it to have anything to do with him!
Huo Xuanzhou’s lips curled up coldly as he growled indignantly, “Ling Sheng, if I really did it, let me die a horrible death!”
What did she take him for? He knew that many things he had done in the past had been quite dastardly, but he had always been very earnest about such things!
Did she suspect him? Did she doubt him? Disappointment and anger filled his heart bit by bit, drowning him in grief. His eyes were red as he enunciated each word clearly, “You’ve never treated me as your older brother, right?!”
It turned out that the only thing he got in exchange for giving his all was her suspicion! Just before this, he had thought that she understood him!
Ling Sheng could clearly see the disappointment, grief and coldness in his eyes. Suddenly, her heart shrank into a tight ball as she looked at him somewhat nervously, and at a loss as she explained, “I know now. You weren’t the one who did it. I’m sorry.”
He had a previous record, and all the evidence pointed to him currently. She hoped that he wasn’t the culprit in her heart, but she still could not help but suspect him.
