Chapter 177: Chapter 177: Falling into Huo Juanyan’s Arms
When Nan Yu woke up, she saw a ceiling covered in painted stars, and upon closer inspection, she realized she was in a room decorated in black and white.
She blinked her eyes and as her mind gradually cleared, she realized she was in a strange place.
Nan Yu, enduring the soreness in her body, sat up and discovered that her clothes had been changed and her fever had subsided.
Just as she was puzzled, a cool voice came from beside her.
"Don’t move. You are weak now and need to rest quietly. It’s not suitable for you to move around too much."
Nan Yu sharply turned to the source of the voice and faced the half black mask she saw before she fainted.
Her voice hoarse, she spoke, "Family Head Huo?"
Huo Juanyan, with his hands crossed over his legs, merely looked back at her from a distance.
"Yes, it’s me."
Nan Yu instantly understood everything, "It was you who saved me."
Huo Juanyan responded indifferently, "Yes."
Nan Yu placed her hand on her pulse and found that her body was no longer in serious trouble, she expressed her gratitude, "Thank you for saving me."
Huo Juanyan’s eyes grew deep as he simply watched her, "You’re welcome."
Nan Yu noticed the bright daylight outside and immediately picked up the cellphone from the bedside table to check the time.
It was already five in the afternoon!
She immediately threw off the covers, wanting to get up.
Unexpectedly, Huo Juanyan added a few more words, "Miss Nan, where are you going?"
Nan Yu saw many missed calls and countless messages on her phone, and she sent a message back to each one letting them know she was alright.
Then looking at Huo Juanyan, "I have things to attend to, I need to leave."
Huo Juanyan stopped her with his words, "Miss Nan, your body is still weak, whatever it is can surely wait."
The moment Nan Yu stepped out of the bed, her feet gave way and she nearly fell to the ground, but she quickly grabbed onto the bed and managed not to fall.
From across the bed, she looked at Huo Juanyan, "Family Head Huo, I know my own body well, it won’t be a problem. Thank you for today, and when the opportunity arises, I will repay this kindness."
After saying that, she gritted her teeth, straightened up, and planned to leave barefoot.
As she reached the doorway, her head suddenly spun and her legs gave way again. She swayed and was about to fall.
At the doorway, Huo Juanyan, seeing this, darkened his gaze and reflexively stretched out his arm, hooking her slender waist.
With one effort, he pulled her into his embrace, letting her sit securely on his legs.
Before her brain could react, Nan Yu’s body instinctively wrapped her arms around Huo Juanyan’s neck, curling into his embrace.
Instantly, his distinct masculine scent mixed with the pleasant cool smell of cedar filled her nostrils.
She slightly tilted her head back and met his deep, dark eyes.
Time seemed to freeze at that moment, and her heart began to beat rapidly.
"Young Master, the meal is ready."
Suddenly, the maid’s voice came from the doorway, breaking the atmosphere between the two.
As if awakening from a trance, Nan Yu hastily got off Huo Juanyan, her cheeks flushing and her ears burning hot.
She said apologetically, "I’m sorry, I just felt dizzy and accidentally fell."
With her no longer in his arms, Huo Juanyan unconsciously stroked his fingertips, as if still feeling the touch of her soft body. His gaze deepened.
"It’s okay."
He silently clenched his fist, glanced at the maid outside as if nothing had happened, and said to Nan Yu, "Miss Nan, you have just recovered from a high fever and need to regain your strength. Why not eat before you go?"
Without waiting for Nan Yu’s agreement, he moved his wheelchair towards the dining room.
Seeing him act as if nothing had happened, Nan Yu, rubbing her flushed cheeks, also pretended as if nothing had happened and followed him to the dining room.
"Okay, thank you Family Head Huo."
