Exclusive Love: Pampered by the Scheming Tycoon-Chapter 359 - 360: Not Letting Him Save Me for Nothing

Yan Ting looked at the tears swirling in her eyes and knew just how aggrieved she felt at this moment.

He gently rubbed her shoulder a few times. "I’ll have Qi Han take you home. Leave this to me!"

"Alright!" Lin Banxia didn’t want to wait for Huo Qinglin to wake up anyway. Truthfully, she had nothing to say to him.

Although he had saved her life, she considered this a debt he owed her. Now that she had brought him to the hospital and the doctors had confirmed his injuries weren’t life-threatening, she could finally breathe a little easier.

Shortly after Lin Banxia left, Huo Qinglin, who had just regained consciousness from the anesthesia, opened his eyes.

But the first thing he saw wasn’t Lin Banxia’s concerned expression—it was a face cold and grim.

"Big brother...?" Huo Qinglin’s disappointment was written all over his face.

"How are you? Do you need me to call the doctor to check on you again?" Yan Ting’s tone was equally indifferent.

Huo Qinglin gently touched his bandaged wound, not daring to use much force. Lightly pressing on it immediately sent pain coursing through him, making his entire face scrunch up. "Those bastards dared to throw rocks! Luckily, I rushed over in time. Otherwise, Lin Banxia wouldn’t even be alive right now!"

"Why were you looking for her? What were you trying to do?" Yan Ting’s eyes narrowed slightly.

A trace of irritation flickered across Huo Qinglin’s face. His thin lips twisted as he said, "Fine, I’ll tell you the truth. I saw those rumors being stirred up online, so I thought I’d go and comfort her. But I hadn’t expected to get hit and knocked out as soon as I arrived! By the way, where is she? I remember she was the one who brought me to the hospital."

"I told her to go home!"

"Hey, big brother, how could you do this to me? I split my head open for her, and the least you could do is let her stay to take care of me!" The moment Huo Qinglin found out his big brother had made the unilateral decision to send Lin Banxia away, his face immediately hardened.

"She asked me to stay and take care of you. If you need anything, just let me know. Or... should I inform our grandparents about your injury?" 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"Don’t... I won’t argue about you chasing Lin Banxia off, but you absolutely can’t let our grandparents know I got hurt," Huo Qinglin said hurriedly. Right now, he and Yan Ting were both afraid of the same thing—that anything related to Lin Banxia would reach the ears of their elders, which would undoubtedly lead to consequences neither of them wanted to face.

Yan Ting let out a mocking laugh. "So you do realize now there’s some sacrifice involved in doing something for her? No progress in your other abilities, but you seem to be getting awfully extravagant when it comes to chasing women."

"Big brother, do you think making snide remarks like that is funny? I was worried she might get hurt—it’s not like I’m trying to win her sympathy or anything." Huo Qinglin immediately felt his dignity wounded, his sincere intentions twisted into some kind of ploy by Yan Ting’s words.

Yan Ting sneered. "Fine. Let’s assume you were doing it for her own good. But next time, remember—don’t go looking for her unless there’s a legitimate reason."

"If I hadn’t gone to look for her this time, she’d be the one lying here right now. And you’re still blaming me?" Huo Qinglin felt more aggrieved than ever.

Yan Ting had nothing to say to that—indeed, he owed him gratitude.

"I won’t let your suffering for her be in vain. I’ll sign off on the proposal you submitted earlier." Yan Ting’s expression was cold and distant.

Huo Qinglin’s eyes froze for a moment before he erupted with rage. "Of course. You’re the CEO now, but you’re clearly targeting me on purpose. That proposal was something my team and I worked on day and night for half a month to finalize—you should’ve approved it long ago!"
