1119 Perplexed and Smitten 179 (1/2)
”Didn't you already go home? Why are you back here again?” Henry questioned.
”If I don't come back, who's going to take care of you at night?”
”Anyone can do that. Just get a nurse to look after me,” Henry answered while avoiding eye contact with her.
Hu Xin was once again confused about what was going on. However, she knew better than to interrupt and hence remained silent while standing at the side.
”The nurse may be able to take care of you, but there's something that the nurse can't do…” An Xiaoning walked toward the other side of the bed and placed her wallet into her purse. She then took out a small cosmetic pouch from her purse and placed it onto the table together with the bag of alcohol. She continued, ”For example, satisfy your sexual needs.”
Henry scoffed while the dumbfounded Hu Xin stared at An Xiaoning in disdain.
However, An Xiaoning was not bothered by her opinion at all. She said, ”Ms. Hu, you may leave if there's nothing else. Stop getting in the way.”
Hu Xin bit her lip and stood rooted to the ground. Seeing her remaining still, An Xiaoning questioned, ”Are you thinking of staying behind?”
”Ms. An, don't you think that you've gone overboard?”
”How so?”
”Mr. Jin clearly doesn't fancy or love you anymore. Why do you have to continue pestering him? Do you really think you'll be able to win his heart again by doing so? Will Mr. Jin be truly happy? I admit, you're very formidable. However, you're going overboard if you use your power to inflict pain and misery onto others.”
”I'm indeed going overboard, what's wrong?”
”Why do people like you even exist… I'm not leaving tonight. If you get your bodyguards to chase me out again, I'll kill myself here,” said Hu Xin, who could not tolerate it any further.
”Kill yourself here?” An Xiaoning squinted and gibed in a hostile tone, ”Do you think that… your life is valuable? You'd better hurry and get lost before I blow my top.”
Pointing at An Xiaoning, Henry snapped, ”Enough! Get out of here. I'd rather look at her than you!”
An Xiaoning took a deep breath and glared at Henry. ”Repeat yourself.”
”So what even if I repeat myself? You should've just stayed home, why did you come back? You're such an eyesore.”
She walked toward the end of the bed and grazed her hand against the cast on his calf. She pressed her finger down gently and said, ”Continue and repeat yourself.”
Henry grimaced in pain instantly. At the sight of what was happening, Hu Xin immediately pushed An Xiaoning away, only to have the latter dodge in time. As a result, Hu Xin lost her balance and stumbled forward onto An Xiaoning. An Xiaoning tightened her grip all of a sudden, causing Henry to grunt in pain and screech, ”An Xiaoning, let go!”
Extremely displeased, An Xiaoning decided to press down even harder.
Henry had already broken out into a cold sweat by the time she let go.
He had turned as pale as a ghost, and the pain had robbed him of his speech.
Unable to tolerate it any further, Hu Xin rebuked, ”An Xiaoning, you're atrocious! I've never seen such a shameless person like you before. I knew it, you were the one who threatened Mr. Jin into sacking me!”
Not bothering to look at her at all, An Xiaoning said, ”If you're not going to leave on your own, I'll have no choice but to get someone to chase you out.”
Hu Xin sat down onto the chair and refused stubbornly, ”I'm not leaving.”
Knowing that An Xiaoning would definitely keep her word, Henry said to Hu Xin, ”Go home, it's already so late.”
”But are you really going to be alright?”
”Yes, I'll be fine.”
Staring at Henry solemnly, Hu Xin said, ”I'll definitely save you from her demonic clutches.”
”I don't need you to interfere with my affairs,” said Henry, who knew her predicament.
