Chapter 460: Chapter 431: Jun, Why Am I in the Hospital? (1)

Huo Shaojun once again interrupted Jian Liangtong.

This time, he simply sat on the edge of the bed, naturally holding Jian Liangtong’s hand, gently pinching the soft back of her hand.

Jian Liangtong didn’t notice him holding her hand; her mind was filled with thoughts of the reporters outside. Seeing him so unconcerned, even sitting down casually, her small face turned red with anxiety, "Huo Shaojun, were you listening to me? You should be leaving the hospital right now! Instead of staying here and getting caught by those reporters at any moment! If you get caught, how are you going to explain? And no matter how you explain, those reporters are capable of twisting your words, so what will you do then?"

She might not realize how anxious and worried she seemed at the moment.

She’s worried about Huo Shaojun!

Huo Shaojun gazed at her flushed face, his thin lips curving slightly, and said softly, "What are you afraid of? Afraid I’ll get you involved?"

"I’m afraid of getting you involved..." The words slipped out.

Jian Liangtong was stunned, her eyes wide, staring at Huo Shaojun.

Huo Shaojun looked at her, the curve of his lips becoming more pronounced, his usually cold voice seemingly melting into a spring breeze, gentle and soft, "So, you are worried about me?"

"..." Jian Liangtong’s almond eyes suddenly flashed with awkwardness, she moved her lips, wanting to speak confidently, but the voice that came out was weak, "I, I’m not."

Huo Shaojun raised an eyebrow, his handsome face carried a hint of a smile, his cold eyes gently fixed on her.

Jian Liangtong felt a tingling sensation down her neck from his gaze, making her feel uncomfortable and prickly.

She moved her lips a few times, glancing at him with eyes full of resentment, frowning, and whispered, "Fine, go if you want to, if the reporters write nonsense, the one mainly affected won’t be me. Anyway, once the news is out, maybe I can ride on your fame to get a bit of attention."

Huo Shaojun’s thin lips curved slightly, looking deeply at her, he said softly, "I don’t mind you riding on my coattails."

"..." Jian Liangtong’s face was burning hot, her teeth biting her lower lip, she glanced at him sideways, suddenly unable to say anything.

"Are you feeling unwell anywhere? Hmm?" Huo Shaojun asked again, with a slight worry in his deep eyes.

Jian Liangtong’s heart was racing, a physical reaction she couldn’t control, as long as she faced him, she always felt this way, with no reason to it.

Jian Liangtong looked at him, her almond eyes filled with a bit of worry, she shook her head lightly, "No."

Huo Shaojun reached out to rub her head, "Don’t worry, they can write and report how they want, I don’t care as long as..."

"As long as what?" Jian Liangtong asked.

"As long as it doesn’t affect you," Huo Shaojun said lightly.

Jian Liangtong’s pupils trembled.

"The doctor said that once you wake up, there shouldn’t be any serious issues, and you can be discharged. You should rest a bit more before leaving the hospital," Huo Shaojun said, looking towards Guan Yu standing at the door, "Go handle the discharge procedures."

Guan Yu nodded and opened the door to leave.

"I’ll go with you," Bai Qiao said.

He didn’t want to stay here and be the third wheel!

Once Guan Yu and Bai Qiao left the ward, only Jian Liangtong and Huo Shaojun were left alone together.

Jian Liangtong felt her face heat up in waves, her gaze wandering all over, afraid to settle on Huo Shaojun.

Huo Shaojun watched her, unable to suppress the tenderness in his cold eyes.

Suddenly, Jian Liangtong felt warmth on the back of her hand.

Her gaze instinctively lowered, and she saw...

Huo Shaojun was kissing the back of her hand...

Jian Liangtong’s eyes widened, staring at Huo Shaojun with a thunderstruck look on her face.

Huo Shaojun raised an eyebrow, kissing the back of her hand while keeping his gaze fixed intensely on her.

He was practically the embodiment of a devilish charmer.

Jian Liangtong’s heart pounded wildly, "You, you mustn’t, don’t do this."

However you hear it, the words lacked any deterrent force!

Huo Shaojun chuckled lightly, indeed, as he wished, he didn’t continue to kiss her hand, but leaned down, capturing her lips with his own.

As her senses began to scatter, she didn’t even notice when her arm encircled his neck.

Huo Shaojun, however, was thrilled by her initiative to wrap around his neck, his inner emotions surging, with a rough breath, using all his willpower not to forcefully detach from her lips.

Otherwise, he feared he wouldn’t be able to hold back...

The moment his lips left, Jian Liangtong actually felt a hollow in her chest, raising her head slightly, and reflexively pursuing him.

The moment their lips touched again, both were stunned.

Jian Liangtong’s eyes widened, filled with disbelief!

Oh God, what did she do?

Huo Shaojun’s heartstrings trembled, his eyes deepening, his breath instinctively slowing as he stared at Jian Liangtong.

No one knew how long they maintained the lip against lip posture.

Suddenly, Jian Liangtong pulled back, covering her lips with the back of her hand, lying on the bed, looking at Huo Shaojun in a panic.

Huo Shaojun’s Adam’s apple bobbed, his voice hoarse as he spoke slowly, "What were you doing?"

"..." Jian Liangtong’s face turned crimson, her lashes trembling in a flustered fashion, breathing a little erratically.

Huo Shaojun propped one hand beside her, raised the other, and removed her hand covering her lips, sternly asking again, "I asked what you were doing just now?"

Jian Liangtong was so embarrassed she was about to cry, her swollen lips barely moved, and her voice was as soft as a whisper, "No, I didn’t..."

"You didn’t what?" Huo Shaojun snorted.

Jian Liangtong bit her lip, her face flushed uncontrollably, closed her eyes to avoid his gaze, and said quickly, "I’ll do whatever it takes."

Huo Shaojun stared at her tightly shut eyes, his stern eyes unexpectedly flashed a smile, yet he coldly reprimanded, "Don’t think that just by denying it you can cover up what you just did to me!"

Jian Liangtong pretended to be dead, turning her face to the other side.

Huo Shaojun pursed his thin lips, stared at her, and after a few seconds of silence, abruptly said, "It’s all been recorded, still want to deny it?"

Recorded?

Jian Liangtong suddenly opened her eyes, looked at him in astonishment, "What, what was recorded?"

Huo Shaojun raised an eyebrow, and meaningfully glanced at the entrance of the hospital room.

Jian Liangtong’s scalp tightened, slowly turned her head, and looked towards the doorway.

Seeing several nurses standing at the door with their phones, she nearly fainted from shock!

"This is it, now even jumping into the Yellow River can’t wash this off." Jian Liangtong inhaled sharply, worriedly looked at Huo Shaojun.

She wasn’t worried about the fact that she had kissed him; rather, it was about what would happen if these photos were spread around—what would he do?

Huo Shaojun maintained his indifferent attitude, glanced coldly at the nurses outside, then turned his gaze to Jian Liangtong, his face stern again, "So tell me, what should we do?"

Jian Liangtong thought he was asking about the photo incident, her black eyes darted nervously, finally lighting up as she looked at Huo Shaojun, "Why don’t you go out now and talk to them, get them to delete the photos. Or, just buy over those photos directly?"

Huo Shaojun narrowed his eyebrows, pursing his lips as he stared at her without speaking.

Jian Liangtong didn’t know what he was thinking, his silent demeanor made her anxious, "Forget it, I’ll go instead."

As she spoke, Jian Liangtong was about to climb out of bed.

Huo Shaojun twitched his lips slightly and pressed one hand on her shoulder, pushing her half-raised body back down.

Jian Liangtong stared at him, her almond eyes filled with tension and urgency.

Huo Shaojun spoke slowly, "I’ll go."

Jian Liangtong immediately nodded, feeling a bit relieved, "That’s the right thing to do, after all, if these photos really get out, it’d be a storm of scandal."

A storm of scandal?

Huo Shaojun pursed his lips, coldly gazed at Jian Liangtong for a few seconds before standing up and heading towards the door.

Huo Shaojun opened the door and went out, closing it behind him.

The VIP room had good soundproofing, so from inside, Jian Liangtong could only see Huo Shaojun seemingly negotiating with the nurses, but couldn’t hear a single syllable of the conversation.

A few minutes later, Huo Shaojun opened the door and came back in.

Jian Liangtong looked at him with anticipation.

Huo Shaojun was good at keeping a straight face, one couldn’t tell anything from his expression.

He closed the door and walked over calmly.

"How’s it, did they agree?" Jian Liangtong asked impatiently.

Huo Shaojun pursed his lips slightly, "One million."

"Huh?" Jian Liangtong was confused, "What one million."

"One million to keep quiet." Huo Shaojun said.

"..."

Jian Liangtong was stunned for a full two minutes before her brain finally caught up, she sat up excitedly from the bed, angrily glaring at the nurses at the door, "One million? Why don’t they just go rob someone? So young, yet have such a big appetite, aren’t they afraid of bursting?"

Unlike Jian Liangtong’s fury, Huo Shaojun calmly sat down, quietly adding, "One million each!"

"What? Oh my gosh! Have they gone mad for money?" Jian Liangtong was furious, waving her arms and was about to get off the bed, "I’m going to talk to them! One million each, go rob a bank!"

Huo Shaojun watched her calmly, "Don’t go, it’s useless."

"No way, I can’t stand it! It’s too much!" Jian Liangtong fumed, her feet already on the ground.

"If you go argue with them now, you’ll only give them more leverage!" Huo Shaojun calmly said.

"What leverage?" Jian Liangtong paused, frowned and turned back to look at him.

Huo Shaojun squinted, "If there’s a video of you arguing with them, their demand wouldn’t just be at a million anymore. They might even ask for two million, or more."

In life, even if you are spirited, full of ambition, and relentless, in the end, you still have to surrender to reality.

Jian Liangtong deflated at the thought of two million, dejectedly went back to sit on the bed, eyes drooping as she looked miserably at Huo Shaojun, "Then what should we do?"

"What can we do? Pay them." Huo Shaojun said decisively.

Jian Liangtong glanced at the three nurses standing outside, pursed her lips and thought for a moment, nodding, "Alright, there’s no other choice."

"Okay." Huo Shaojun nodded, tilted his head looking at Jian Liangtong, "You pay."

She pays?

Upon hearing those words, Jian Liangtong’s current feeling could only be described as "a bolt from the blue."
