Revenge of the Wife

Chapter 327

"Huo Jian Sheng was deeply moved when he came to see Li Man. 'Thank you,' she said.

'I was really scared when I heard you got hurt. What happened?' Huo Jian Sheng asked.

Li Man tugged at the corner of her mouth, unsure how to explain this melodramatic situation.

At that moment, Huo Jian Sheng noticed Chen Shi sleeping on the accompanying bed. A trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes, and he furrowed his brow slightly. 'Who is this?' he asked.

Li Man quickly explained, 'He's my friend.'

Remembering that Li Man had gone to the movies with a friend a few days ago, Huo Jian Sheng asked, 'Is he the one you went to the movies with?'

'Yes!' Li Man replied.

Huo Jian Sheng's gaze toward Chen Shi became hostile, and he asked acidly, 'Do you like him?'

Seeing that Huo Jian Sheng misunderstood, Li Man hurriedly explained, 'No, don't think like that. We've just been childhood friends.'

Li Man's explanation didn't put Huo Jian Sheng at ease; instead, he felt even more uncomfortable. 'So, you two are childhood sweethearts?' he said, pronouncing the words 'childhood sweethearts' in a way that evoked a different feeling.

And there was also a sour feeling?

Li Man raised her eyes and met Huo Jian Sheng's aggressive and overbearing gaze. Suddenly, her heart constricted, and her heartbeat skipped a beat. She hastily lowered her head.

'No, it's not what you think,' Li Man said, feeling inexplicably flustered.

Huo Jian Sheng narrowed his beautiful eyes slightly. 'Then what is it?' he asked.

Listening to Huo Jian Sheng's tone, it felt like she had done something to upset him.

But weren't they just friends?

Why was he angry?

Jealous?

This thought made Li Man feel like she was going crazy.

She mocked herself inwardly: Are you thinking that he likes you? Are you jealous?

'Speak up,' came an impatient voice, tinged with anger.

Li Man was certain that Huo Jian Sheng was angry, but she felt his anger was somewhat unreasonable.

'We are just friends, really not what you think,' Li Man explained weakly, with her eyes cast down.

'Look at me.'

His domineering voice brooked no refusal.

Li Man felt a little flustered. Unconsciously, she clenched the blanket at hand, and her heart started to beat faster.

Hesitating, a shadow suddenly fell before her eyes, and she felt a warm sensation on her lips.

Li Man was shocked, her eyes widening, and her mind went blank.

A warm tongue slipped into her mouth, forcefully capturing her own.

Suddenly, Li Man snapped back to her senses. "Mmm..." She hurriedly pushed Huo Jian Sheng away but accidentally touched her wound, causing her pain. She winced, her face contorting. 'Ouch...'

Huo Jian Sheng released her lips and gently wiped away the moisture with his slender fingers. His eyes were deep and intense, carrying a hint of apology. 'I'm sorry, did I hurt you?'

Li Man's cheeks flushed, and she couldn't bring herself to look at Huo Jian Sheng. Her head felt dizzy, and everything seemed unbelievable.

In a domineering tone, Huo Jian Sheng said, 'You're not allowed to go to the movies with him in the future.'

Finally regaining some composure, Li Man raised her gaze to Huo Jian Sheng and said, 'Why not?'"

"Huo Jian Sheng said domineeringly, 'Just because I'm your boyfriend.'

Li Man was somewhat speechless. 'Since when did you become my boyfriend?'

Huo Jian Sheng's face darkened. 'You don't want to?'

Li Man helplessly replied, 'I haven't even gotten divorced yet!'

'Then wait until you're ready and immediately get a divorce!' Huo Jian Sheng said.

Looking at Huo Jian Sheng's handsome face, Li Man felt somewhat unreal and asked, 'Are you serious?'"
