Xia Xing understood the aning of Huo Juanyan.
They still had to clarify the relationship between the Young Madam and President Huo, maintaining the status of a hidden marriage.
He nodded in response, "Yes, President Huo."
Huo Juanyan continued to soak in a dicinal bath, "Xia Xing, go downstairs and rest, ask Auntie Li to tidy up the guest room for you."
Upon hearing this, Xia Xing silently agreed and left.
Once he left, Huo Juanyan, lying in the bathtub, looked up at the ceiling above him.
What appeared before his eyes, however, was the fair-skinned Nan Yu, especially her reddened wrists.
He must have pinched them quite hard at the ti.
Tomorrow, he would have Secretary Chen send Nan Yu the best ointnt.
There must not be any scars left.
Only then did Huo Juanyan close his eyes again, allowing sleepiness to overco him, and he fell asleep.
anwhile, Nan Yu, who had returned ho, encountered Qi Ming, who had not yet gone to sleep, the mont she walked in.
Qi Ming, who was fiddling with his cara, imdiately stood up and approached her upon seeing her return.
"Young Madam, are you hungry? Would you like so late-night snacks?"
Nan Yu reflexively hid her injured right hand behind her back, inexplicably not wanting Qi Ming to know about it.
"No need, I’m not hungry."
Having said that, she carried her suitcase towards the stairs.
"I’m a bit tired today, Uncle Qi, you should rest early, I’m going to sleep first."
Qi Ming looked at her hurriedly ascending figure, showing a trace of confusion.
"Why is the Young Madam in such a rush today? Did sothing happen outside?"
His brows furrowed deeply, he put down the cara in his hand, and imdiately got up to follow upstairs uneasily.
When he reached the bedroom door, Qi Ming knocked on it.
"Young Madam, I have sothing to discuss with you."
It took a minute for Nan Yu’s voice to co from inside.
"Uncle Qi, let’s talk about it tomorrow."
The more Qi Ming heard this, the stranger he felt.
Usually, the Young Madam would open the door right away to ask what he wanted to discuss.
Why was she avoiding him today?
The more he thought about it, the more uneasy Qi Ming felt, and he knocked on the door again, his tone carrying a hint of urgency.
"Young Madam, has sothing happened? Did Luzhi bully you again?"
Nan Yu’s muffled voice ca through the door.
"Uncle Qi, don’t make wild guesses, I’m really fine."
Hearing this, Qi Ming beca convinced that Luzhi had bullied the Young Madam, his expression growing even more serious.
"Young Madam, rest early then, I’ll talk to you about it tomorrow morning."
After saying that, he turned and walked downstairs, heading to knock on Nanny Wang’s nanny’s door.
The mask-wearing Nanny Wang, upon hearing the urgent knocking, opened the door without even having ti to change out of her pajamas.
"Housekeeper Qi, what happened?"
Qi Ming had a grave expression on his face, looking very serious.
"Nanny Wang, the Young Madam has been bullied!"
Nanny Wang imdiately took on a fierce stance, "Who doesn’t have eyes, daring to bully the Young Madam? You tell , I’m going to teach that person a lesson right now!"
Qi Ming held back the furious Nanny Wang, saying coldly, "Nanny Wang, it’s the Young Madam’s foster father, that Luzhi who bullied the Young Madam!"
Nanny Wang asked in surprise, "Isn’t Luzhi in custody? How did he bully the Young Madam? Has he been released?"
Qi Ming nodded, "Yes, Luzhi has been released."
"Soone turned themselves in this morning, claiming Luzhi isn’t the murderer. The police checked multiple sources and confird Luzhi had nothing to do with the arson, so he was released."
"I heard that when he ca out, his face was bruised and swollen, he was beaten by soone nad Yan Ren in there, and he directly accused the other party of assault. Yan Ren was imdiately suspended without pay."
"I guess Luzhi is now harboring a lot of anger, thinking about how to get revenge on the Young Madam!"
