Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 164 - 162: I Will Lose Weight

The Ye family’s small company was a minor supplier under the Shangguan Aristocratic Family, always relying on the Shangguan family for support.

So, when a crisis struck, it wasn’t surprising that Ye’s father sought Shangguan Xiong’s help to save his daughter.

Under normal circumstances, Shangguan Xiong would have agreed, seeing that Ye’s father was one of his own people.

But today, upon learning that the girl Ye Shiman had injured in the fall had been taken away by the young Huo and personally driven to St. Mary Hospital, Shangguan Xiong knew the girl must have a significant relationship with Huo. He hesitated to commit and instead made a phone call.

Huo Zhenyang’s gaze was calm and still as he accepted the phone call and strode toward the main door, his figure casting a long and somber shadow on the ground.

Five words reverberated coldly through the nighttime hospital corridor, echoing like a haunting spirit:

"Make the Ye family finished."

The next day when Jiayi awoke, she felt much better than before.

With closed eyes, she stretched lazily, her head free of any pain.

Wanting to turn over and sit up, she felt as if there was a wall beside her. Opening her eyes, she got a shock.

Huo Zhenyang was sitting by her hospital bed, slightly leaning over his tall frame, propping his temple with a long arm, as if he had been intently watching her sleep.

Seeing the little one awake, he stood up, his eyelashes moved, "Awake."

"Mmm..." she hummed.

Hadn’t he left last night? When had he come back?

Huo Zhenyang noticed her rosy cheeks and her spirited look. Standing up, he took a thermos, poured out a bowl of something that could be soup or porridge, then sat down again. He picked up a spoon, aimed it at her mouth, and commanded, "Eat."

After such a fright last night and a night’s rest, Jiayi’s stomach was indeed starting to rumble. She reached out to take the spoon, "I can do it myself."

His palm was firm as iron, not handing over the spoon, his eyebrow quirked, "Hmm? Do you want me to feed you in another way?"

She paused, fully aware of what his "another way" meant, and her hand stopped mid-air before falling back.

His one hand slid behind her waist, pressed down, and squeezed her small body into his embrace. Then, with the spoon, he pried open her lips and slowly fed her.

All she could do was chew slowly and then swallow the thick and creamy millet porridge.

Seeing her nibbling bit by bit, his eyes inexplicably curved. Last night, she needed rest from the shock, and he had to deal with some aftermath, too busy to spend more time with her. Only now did he have a moment.

While she ate the porridge from his hand, he bent down to feast on the fragrance from her neck.

Not until she had finished nearly half a bowl did Huo Zhenyang, satisfied, look at her even more rosy cheeks and finally let go of the well-fed little one in his arms, "Do you want more?"

She pursed her lips, "It’s not like I’m a pig, why eat so much?"

Fatten a pig? Her indignant look really did resemble a little pig he was rearing.

He leaned in close with a laugh, lifted his hand, and lightly patted her round and firm little buttocks, his tone full of tease, "After a holiday, you’ve gained quite a bit, almost numbed my leg. I truly thought I had signed a contract with a little pig."

Who doesn’t gain weight during a holiday?

Thinking he was unhappy with her weight gain and misunderstanding his meaning, she mumbled with her lips, "I’ll diet."

Since he had returned, it meant that the tasks outlined in the contract still had to be continued. Therefore, it meant she had to satisfy him and not upset him.

Lose weight? Who said she had to lose weight. A young girl should have some curves to look good.

He frowned, "Lose weight? Do you want to be blown away by a gust of wind? No losing weight is allowed."

She pursed her lips and, a few seconds later, looked at him again. The matter she was concerned about had to be asked, and she mustered the courage, "So, you had already returned to H City, hadn’t you?"

His gaze became slightly more intense, "Yes." 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

She took a deep breath, "Was it you who exposed Ye Shiman during the competition, and was it you who had someone secretly record that video and display it on screen?"

Seeing that she knew, he didn’t bother hiding it any longer, and simply nodded slightly.

She continued, "Then, was it also with your help that I was able to take first place in the design competition?"

The man’s lips curled up into a faint smile, "Do you really lack that much confidence?"

Jiayi was taken aback, and Huo Zhenyang had already leaned forward, drawing closer, his voice deep, "I could have manipulated the judging panel, but I believe more in my woman’s abilities."

Huo Zhenyang had some remaining business to explain to Shangguan Xiong in person that morning. He said nothing more, straightened up, opened the door, gave a few instructions to his bodyguard, and then left the hospital.

Lin Zixun saw the Boss leave, knocked on the door, and came in, speaking softly, "Miss Jiayi, on the day of the competition, the Boss was at Jin University. He didn’t show himself but secretly helped you. He did so because he was worried that the judges might favor you if they noticed your relationship, and he was concerned that it would bother you. The Boss has always known that you value this competition highly, that you didn’t want any shortcuts in your academics and wished to win based on your own merit."

She was stunned.

She didn’t know that besides fulfilling the contractual obligations time after time with her, the man had also taken her desires into consideration...

She had always thought that to this man, she was like a pet kept by his side, a forbidden delicacy in the palm of his hand.

She had further believed that the man was full of anger over her departure, and even if there were occasional indulgences and protections, it was only because he feared she might fall ill, get hurt, or even die, and then he would no longer have someone to take revenge on.

Now that she had left this man, even if they got back together, it was just for the sake of a piece of paper—a contract. Yet now... her heart was once again stirred by the man.

She felt a touch of panic, stood up, and with a snap, inadvertently knocked over a cup of water next to her.

Lin Zixun saw that she seemed somewhat distraught, said no more, and quietly left closing the door behind him.

After washing up in the bathroom, Jiayi’s emotions finally calmed down.

Worried about Su Yan, she dressed and opened the door to leave the hospital room.

The bodyguard saw her come out, greeted her politely, yet a bit nervously, and followed after her.

He had seen how much she mattered to Young Master Huo; he had even swollen his own face last night as a self-punishment to barely appease Young Master Huo’s thunderous rage.

He couldn’t let his guard down for a moment now.

She likely guessed that this was the person Huo Zhenyang had sent to protect her in secret these past few days. She nodded politely and greeted, "I’m going to see my friend, I’ll be back soon."

Finally, the bodyguard nodded but still followed a few meters behind, steadfastly protecting the girl.

Upon reaching the nurse’s station, Jiayi asked, "Excuse me, is there a patient named Su Yan? She should have suffered acid burns and was transferred here last night."

The nurse flipped through the records, "Su Yan? She’s in the burn ward upstairs, in the women’s ward, room 1701."

Jiayi’s heart leaped to her throat, "Nurse, can you tell me how the patient is doing?"
