Lin Wanwan was a little surprised, but still sat down as she was told.

For a moment, the study became quiet, with only the occasional sound of flipping files and typing on the keyboard.

At first, Lin Wanwan sat quietly.

Later, she felt sleepy and fell asleep on the sofa.

Time passed by minute by minute. Huo Jingchen looked up and glanced at Lin Wanwan on the sofa inadvertently, and found that she had fallen asleep. He frowned and had no intention of continuing to work.

So Huo Jingchen reached out and closed the laptop, and said to his assistant Chen Bo, "Let's stop here today!"

Hearing this, Chen Bo looked up and found that Lin Wanwan had fallen asleep while waiting.

He immediately smiled knowingly, turned off the computer, stood up, and said, "Okay, Mr. Huo, I'll go back first."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Bo left the study.

Huo Jingchen stood up and slowly walked to Lin Wanwan. Looking at her peaceful sleeping face, a strange emotion arose in his heart.

He bent down gently, picked her up softly, walked out of the study, and headed towards the bedroom.

As soon as he walked out of the study, he ran into Mr. Huo. Huo Jingchen was stunned at first, and then a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.

"Grandpa, I..." Huo Jingchen was about to explain.

But Mr. Huo smiled widely, patted his shoulder, and said softly, "Boy, you have finally come to your senses and know how to love your wife."

Hearing this, Huo Jingchen frowned slightly, "Grandpa, you misunderstood, I just saw that she fell asleep and wanted to send her back to her room."

"Don't explain, grandpa understands." Old Master Huo looked like he understood, I've been there.

Then, he whispered, "Young people have a hot temper. Grandpa can understand that, but you should be especially careful in the first three months. Don't indulge yourself too much."

Hearing what Mr. Huo said, Huo Jingchen's face turned black, "Grandpa, what are you thinking about?"

Mr. Huo stopped talking, just gave him a meaningful look and went back to his room.

Huo Jingchen looked helpless, holding Lin Wanwan in his arms, not knowing whether to let her go or not.

In the end, he didn't have the heart to wake her up; after all, she was still pregnant.

So, Huo Jingchen held Lin Wanwan in his arms and walked towards her room.

In the huge room, Huo Jingchen carefully placed Lin Wanwan on the soft big bed, moving gently for fear of waking her up.

Then, Huo Jingchen squatted down and considerately covered her with a quilt.

He squatted in front of the bed, stared at her for a while, then turned and left.

However, just as he reached the door, Lin Wanwan murmured in her sleep: "Don't go..."

Huo Jingchen paused, and after hesitating for a moment, he went back to the bed, sat on the chair, and just looked at Lin Wanwan quietly.

Lin Wanwan was sleeping, as if she had had a nightmare. Her brows were furrowed and she murmured, "Don't... don't go..."

Seeing her like this, Huo Jingchen was moved. He couldn't help but reach out and slowly stroke her forehead, with a barely perceptible tenderness in his eyes.

Suddenly, Lin Wanwan grabbed Huo Jingchen's hand and woke up from the nightmare, "Don't..."

Seeing Lin Wanwan gasping for breath, with cold sweat covering her forehead, Huo Jingchen frowned, "Are you having a nightmare?"

Lin Wanwan came back to her senses and found that she was holding Huo Jingchen's hand. She quickly let go, got up from the bed, and explained anxiously: "Mr. Huo, I'm sorry, I fell asleep."

Hearing her call him "Mr. Huo", Huo Jingchen frowned even deeper, "Don't call me Mr. Huo at home, just call me Jingchen."

He still liked to hear Lin Wanwan call him "Jing Chen", as it made the name seem less strange.

"Um, Jing Chen, how did I get back to the room?" Didn't Lin Wanwan remember that she was waiting for him in the study?

She remembered that she was so sleepy that she seemed to fall asleep. How did she sleep in her own room?

Lin Wanwan's voice was as soft as if she had just woken up. Huo Jingchen raised his eyebrows and said, "I carried you in."

Hearing this, Lin Wanwan blushed instantly, "Thank you, thank you..."

Even her face was red, and Huo Jingchen's lips curled up with an imperceptible smile, "What? Are you shy?"

"No." Lin Wanwan said no, but her face was already familiar with it, and the atmosphere around them was also a little subtle.

After a moment of silence, Lin Wanwan suppressed her pounding heart and broke the silence first: "Well, I'm sleepy and I'm going to sleep."

After saying that, Lin Wanwan immediately lay down and covered her head with the quilt to hide her embarrassment and shyness at the moment.

Huo Jingchen couldn't help but chuckle as he looked at Lin Wanwan who was pretending to sleep with her head covered.

"Okay, then you sleep well." After saying that, he stood up, closed the door gently and left the room.

Lin Wanwan heard the door close and then poked her head out from under the quilt. She patted her burning cheeks and felt very upset.

"Lin Wanwan, you need to calm down."

"Even if Mr. Huo is handsome, you can't be seduced by his beauty. Don't forget that once the child is born, you will have no more contact with each other."

Thinking of this, Lin Wanwan's mood gradually calmed down. She couldn't let herself fall in love with Huo Jingchen, she was worried that she would fall in love with him.

After waiting for a year, she couldn't bear to leave.

The next morning, when Lin Wanwan woke up, she found an exquisite breakfast on the cabinet beside the bed.

There was also a note that read: "Remember to eat breakfast when you wake up."

Lin Wanwan held the note and the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously.

Is this what Huo Jingchen left behind? Was he here this morning?

Unfortunately, she was sleeping so deeply that she didn't know when he came to her room.

“It feels so good not to have to go to work.”

Lin Wanwan opened the curtains in front of her, stood in front of the window, greeting the morning sun, and couldn't help but stretch lazily.

After Lin Wanwan washed up and ate the breakfast that Huo Jingchen prepared for her, she tiptoed to his room.

The door of the room was open, and Huo Jingchen was seen sitting beside the bed, upper body naked, holding a cotton swab in his hand, clumsily applying medicine to his back.

Seeing the red scars on Huo Jingchen's back caused by coffee burns, some of which had blisters, Lin Wanwan felt a sudden pang of heartache for no reason.

He hadn't said a word from yesterday until now, and she thought the injury on his back was really not serious.

Now that she had seen it with her own eyes, Lin Wanwan felt not only guilty but also more distressed.

Huo Jingchen seemed to feel the strong gaze at the door. He turned around immediately and saw Lin Wanwan standing at the door. He immediately put on his white shirt.

"How long are you going to stand at the door and watch?"

Lin Wanwan came back to her senses and walked in, her eyes full of guilt, and she couldn't help asking, "Does it hurt?"

“It doesn’t hurt.” Huo Jingchen had suffered countless injuries since he was a child, but no one had ever asked him if it hurt. Lin Wanwan was the first one.
